Frantic search for Ed wynn's
collection of odd and ancient
hats is being conducted through
out the National Broadcasting
Co.'S Radio City studios, follow
ing the famous comedians report
that six-sevenths of his hetero-
geneous headgear disappeared
during his program last week.
The only one saved was the fire
chief hat which Ed had on his
head.
The missing items, ranging in
age from Is to 40 years. and as
much o part Of Wynn's act as
Charlie Chaplin's shoes or jim
my Durante's schnozzle, were
listed by the comic as follows:
One high hat, 30 years old,
which he first wore in a vaude-
vile act entitled THE Rah Rah
Boy"
One high hat, -top-of-
head style, IS years old.
One Quaker hat, 40 years old,

It Is easy to test Mr.. Hogan's the
ory by placing a modern radio along
side a modern phonograph. The tone
range of the latter will far exceed
the radio, and so will its volume. The
cheaper radio sets, such as midget
models, will be found particularly
lacking. 1t is to bring more lifelike
reality to radio that the commission
is sponsoring the development Of the
new wave lengths and will license
most, If not all, Of the applications
thus far received. The radio world,
needless to say. will watch the devel-
opment with keen interest not only
for its technical implications, but be-
cause the new channels may open the
way for additional radio stations in
many parts of the country that need
or want them.

dating KDKA, the experiments of
DIR. Lee DeForest in 1909 with voice
radio, broadcasting the great Caruso's
voice directly from his dressing room
in the Metropolitan Opera House,
and the broadcasts from the station
that later became WWJ, Detroit,
have frequently been cited.
From Europe comes the claim that
the experimental station at Laeken,
Belgium, conducted by Robert B.
Goldschmidt, an engineer who had
been commissioned by the King to
establish a system of wireless teleg-
raphy for the Belgian Congo, was
probably the first to broadcast. On
March % last, the twentieth ami
versary of a radio concert from that
station, dedicated to the royal family,
was commemorated by reconstructing
the same concert. Chief engineer Of
the Laeken station at the time was
Raymond Braillard, now president Of
the technical committee of the Inter-
national Broadcasting Union at
Geneva.
