.HE likes and dislikes of the
l radio audience have

radlo a die nee nave
4 changed very little in the
last year, if a recent poll
conducted by a New York news
paper can be taken as fair cri-
terion.
Radio editors of newspapers
throughout the United States and
parts of Canada voted in this poll
and not the radio listeners them
selves. But the radio editors were
expected to reflect public opinion.
The poll was the second taken
by the New York newspaper, and
the results reveal surprisingly few
changes since the first one a year
ago. In fact, 10 artists repeated
their triumphs.
Winners in the 1888 poll were:
Dance orchestra Guy Lombar-
do and his Royal Canadians.
Symphony orchestra, Philadel-
phia Orchestra.
Male singer of popular songs,
Morton Downey.
Female singer of popular songs,
Ruth Etting.
semi = classical songs, Lawrence
Tibbett.
Female singer of classical and
semi = classical songs, Jessica
Dragonette.
Feminine harmony team, Bos-
well Sisters.

Radio Population Grows.

England and Germany, boasting the
largest radio populations" in Europe,
are continuing to increase the number
of radio listeners despite the depression.
European reports show that on January
l there were 5,262, ,953 licensed radios
in England, though prosecutions for
failure to pay the $2.50-per-annum
radio tax reached a record of 381 IN
November. Germany's licensed radios,
on which a tax of about 30 cents per
month is paid, collected by the post
man, numbered 4,307,722 ON January /,
an increase of more than 260. 200 over
the preceding year.

Famous Bells May Be Heard on Air

At the suggestion of German broad
casting officials, special all-European
Easter feature is being considered which
would include the broadcasting over a
network of the most famous bells on the
continent. Germany would broadcast
the bells of Cologne Cathedral, France
the bells of Notre Dame, England the
bells of York Minister, etc.

new STATION AUTHORIZED
Approval Given Portland, Me.
Project without Hearing.

Although protests from local radio
and newspaper interests may balk the
project at . hearing they have de-
manded, the Federal Radio Commis-
sion has authorized erection of a new
500-watt day and 250-watt night broad
casting station in Portland, Me. Pro-
tests arise large because this grant was
made without hearing and despite the
fact that Maine is over-quota in its
equalization allotment of radio facili-
ties
Authorizations of new stations in
large cities are rare because of the al
ready overcrowded condition of the
wave lengths. The commission some
months ago granted a church authority
to build new station In Indianapolis
and later revoked the grant.

RADIO HELPS CLIPPERS
Used Extensively by 100 or More
Operating Out of San Diego.

Out on the broad Pacific where the
tuna run, American tuna fishing boats
are depending upon radio not merely to
furnish programs to vile away the
hours, but to keep in telegraphic touch
with San Diego and the mainland and
with one another.
Though these boats are not always re-
quired to carry wireless. the 100 or more
American clippers operating out of San
Diego are using it extensively, according
to reports How well it serves them was
illustrated recently when the clipper
Continental caught fire and was de-
stroyed and a rescue was effected within
a few hours through a radio call.

Continuous Programs.
Unlike American broadcasting sta

have continuous programs through the

broadcasts up TO midnight, and to begin
their Sunday morning programs at 10

Opposing Contentious
Prosecution efforts also were d.

the lodges, and that there was no
basis to the Government claims he
had profited from them.
