Exhibited.

NEW YORK, December 2.-Jessica
Dragonette. star Of the Cities Service
Concerts over N. B. c., got up early to
buy the first ticket when the National
Broadcasting Co. inaugurated the plan
of conducting tours through its new
Radio City headquarters.
Tickets are now sold emitting the
holders to a tour of the company's
facilities in the studio section. These
tickets do not admit to broadcastS of
programs. The admission price is 40
cents.
It was announced at N. b. c. that
the system of tours was designed to
permit as many visitors as possible to
view the inside picture Of broadcasting,
with a minimum of confusion and in
reference with the work Of putting
programs on the air.
Accommodation in the studios them
selves of the thousands of listeners de-
string to witness broadcaSts Is a physi-
cal impossibility, it was pointed out.
Through the method Of paid admis-
sions the company hopes to be able to
entertain a large proportion OF the
great numbers of people who are eager
to see how the business Of broadcasting
is conducted, but who otherwise would
be unable to gain entrance to the
broadcasting floors.
Tours are made from IL am. to IL
pm. daily, including Sundays. Each
tour lasts approximately one hour.
Tickets are on sale at the N. B. G. en-
frances in the main corridor Of the r:
C. A. Building. Under the charge Of

Behind the Microphone
BY THE RADIO EDITOR.

B. B. c. might have been accused
of breaking faith with those men,
bers OF the public who had spent
considerable sums on apparatus
which had become useless owing
to fundamental changes in the
system OF transmission"
There are a dozen or so differ
ent systems employed by private
experimenters in this country, the
practieaiiy the whole development
OF teleVlSlOn 10 private enterprise.
Some of these systems are consid-
cradle in advance of 18o-l1ne
images, giving small but fairly
clear pictures at the receiving end.
Yet the very companies which
claim to have made the greatest
advances-the greater the num-
ber of lines, the better the defini-
ton of the received imageS-are
the ones here that seem most re-
luctant to bring television out
into the public gaze.
THOUGH woman announcerS are
L virtually unheard on the
American radio networks and on
individual stations, except during
occasional special programs, there
is still a possibility that they will
return to grace with the radio i'm
presarios. From London comes
the word that the British Broad
casting Corporation, which re-
Gently found that an experiment
with a highly qualified woman
staff announcer was unsuccessful,
is going to continue to employ
woman announcers occasionally
at provincial stations.
The British radio people found,
as had the radio authorities in
Italy and several other European
countries, that women's voices
simply were unSuited to regular
announcing. Beyond the mere
statement that the London ex-
pertinent was not successful,
nothing was announced, but it is
recalled that the Italians, when
they dropped woman announcers,
declared the trouble was that
listeners were too much inter-
ested in their voices and too little
in what they had to say. The re-
suit was that the feminine staff
members got innumerable fan let
ters, many of the mash" variety.
Not wholly convinced that
woman announcerS do not have
their place, Station WJSV is at
present conducting a contest for
a woman announcer for it's break
fast period. Some 300 women
have been auditioned, and IL are
to be selected for as many morn
ing test broadcaStS starting late
this month, after which the au-
dience will be asked to vote the
final choice.
FOR lovers of the better music,
L this Winter on the national
radio will bring several delights.

At recent meeting of the Inquiry
Club held in the assembly room of the
Presbyterian Church in Rockville. DR..
James from the American University
was the guest speaker.
DIR. James subject was Franklin
and his Kite" He developed his sub
ject from the unique standpoint that
Franklin flew many kite into the
skies of experimentation and often
drew down the lightning Of censure
because of his courage and boldness
in recommending TO those in high
places reforms in government. He
dwelt particularly upon the speech
made by Franklin before the Phila-
delphia Assembly when he set forth
his theory Of taxation, and land as a
basis Of currency. He pointed out
that the trend Of thought is return
ing to Franklin's theory Of the i'm
portance Of land values and the pos
sibility that the near future may well
prove the soundness Of his logic.

Commissioners To
Cooperate In Plan
To Build Highway
Proposed New Road From Bal

Cross County

Montgomery county commissioners
will cooperate with officials of How
ard county in an effort to secure
Federal endorsement of the proposed
construction of a super highway lead
ing from Baltimore to northwest
Washington and traversing Mont
gomery and Howard counties. Lacy
Shaw, president of the board of
county commissioners, said this week
that he thought the idea splendid
one providing there would be no
further burden on the taxpayer and
promised that the county would
heartily cooperate with the committee
from Howard.
Howard county took the initiative
last week and named a COMMITTEES
of Senator Joseph L. Donovan, chair
man; James Booker Clark and P. G.
Stromberg to further the movement.
Montgomery county viii probably
name a committee this week.
For several years plans have been
discussed in a general way looking
toward the construction of third
highway leading from Baltimore ia
Washington. In this connection sew
eral ideas as to the location of the
road have been discussed. Principal
among these is that road should
lead to the Northwest section of
the national capital which would
bring the road through a part of
Montgomery County. While no Off
cial action has ever been taken this
plan has been the subject of mach
discussion among officials.
A plan sponsored by Glen L. Mar
tin was submitted by public letter
to Governor Richie and Mayor
Jackson anticipates a tremendous
program involving an estimated ex-
penditure of close to forty million
dollars. This program, however,
does not propose that the new high
way between Baltimore and Wash
ington cross Montgomery County and
it is because of the publicity given
the Martin plan that the commits
sioners have determined to proceed
Immediately to have Montgomery
county represented.
