A few weeks ago this column er-
roneously said: "Slumber Music L.
back on the air over WILT in Phila-
delphia but it isn't the Slumber Music
made famous by Ludwig Laurier." As
a matter of fact. the program on the
air in Philadelphia is the same Slum-
Der Music but it ism: directed by
Laurier.
Keith Mcleod, former N. B. C. execu-
tive and the man who created and
produced Slumber Music, is now an
executive of Station WILL, formerly
WILT, in Philadelphia. And one OF
the first things Mcleod did was to
recreate the Slumber Music period.
1t is on the air from WILL six nights
week under the direction of Harold
Micklin. The Instrumentation is the
same and the same musical arrange
ments are used.
MR.. MCLEOD wrote:
1v1 Il can truthfully say that the
performance of music so far has
been superior to the programs we gave
in New York This is in no way a
criticism of Mr.. Laurier. but We have
been able to have adequate rehearsals

same musicians every night which, of
course, under our system of operation

programs ever broadcast and in ignor-

Slumber music, as We knew 1t and
loved it, is available to a network.
There is an audience waiting for it.
N. B. c. has two outlets and there is
nothing to prevent NJ B. c. from offer
ing hot dance band opposite slumber
music.
One hates to compare the worlds
largest broadcasting organization to
stubborn little boy-but some N. B. c.
executive must be hopelessly stubborn
in his continued refusal to recognize
the popularity and genuine merit of

Perhaps these comments will bring

short waves, covering the whole short
wave area.
In building this aerial the engineers
adapted it to peculiarities of radio
waves after they have travelled . few
thousand miles around the globe. As
they move around the earth, short
waves do not follow the contour OF
the land and sea in smooth curve,
but keep bouncing back and forth
between a layer of ionized atmos-
phere some 100 miles from the earth.
Although these waves leave the sta
ton from a vertical tower. usually,
and present a vertical front. by the
time they have bounced few times
between the sky and the earth, they
take on a new front and can be picked
up by horizontal aerial as well as
vertical one. An advantage OF the
horizontal aerial is that the vertical
waves from nearby stations are not
picked up with such great volume and
interference thus is reduced, and
much static eliminated.
From the aerial, the waves travel
down to the hotels sixth floor. where
they are sorted and fed into the sys-
TEN of wires that reach every room.
Six different programs are provided
simultaneously for guests who wish
to listen, and they can take their
choice of a favorite American pro-
gram, or possibly one from London,
or another from South America. >

The receiving equipment really is
much like that used for ship-to-shore

IT'S more than the program that
L counts when the dyed in the wool
listener turns on the radio. In fact,
the surroundings are just about as
important, in the opinion of World
Radio, published in London. which
believes that homes should be built
to provide good radio environment
for the family.
In the matter of decorations, for
instance, the magazine states the
room should be plainly and COM
fortably furnished. Then, as to
acoustics, why they should be of the
very best. of course, to exclude out
side noise, such as traffic and trolley
cars, and at the same time prevent
bad echoes inside. Gray, fawn and
brown are suggested as proper color
schemes.
Detailed instructions are given as
to methods of preventing leakage
of the program to other rooms, where
a sick person, for instance, might not
care to listen to what is going on in
the radio room. Subdued lighting by
all means, the magazine suggests, in
taking up the matter of lighting ef-
fects, with the taste of the listener
suggested as the criterion. Besides,
the lighting should be flexible. In the
case of drama, no lighting at all, or
very little light might be desirable.
A nice snappy dance program, on the
other hand. might be enjoyed more
with the lights at their brightest, and
this also might encourage the listen
ers to clear their throats and join in
the chorus.
The magazine says military bands
call for a "fresh-air feeling" but
comedies this isn't easy to simulate
in the house, so listeners are advised

Calling attention to the present
search of capital for the best in
vestment opportunities, and to long
term trends now strongly favorable
to real estate investment, Walter s.
Schmidt, Cincinnati, president Of the
National Association Of Real Estate
Boards, makes this comment:
"At this juncture, bills dealing with
the mortgage are before legislatures

proposals are extension Of redemption
periods, moratoria on interest pay
ments, elimination Of deficiency

II earnestly believe that here We

those States which make the mortgage
unattractive, or unduly impair the OBJ

selves without adequate funds for

Every indication points to q steady
improvement in new construction

tivity probably by 1885. Building re-
vival will be hampered in those COM
munities which get the reputation for
