WARD'SINTRODUCES
AN EXCLUSIVE
RADIO DIAL

Pioneers in the field of radio en-
gineering, Montgomery Ward now in
PRODUCES an exclusive radio dial which
promises to revolutionize the radio in
dustry, according to an announcement
made today by Mr.. Cole, store man.
ager.
This innovation, called the "movie
dial', because it operates in much the
same fashion as a motion picture pro-
jector, flashes the call letters of sta
tions on a screen in large illuminated
letter with the twist of the tuning
knob.
The letters are projected from a
small circular film onto a glass
screen by means of light, lenses and
q mirror, in a size large enough to be
seen from any part of a room. A col
or filter shows the stations of the
three wave bands Zone standard and
two short wave) in three colors, white,
amber and green.
In commenting on this radically new
step in radio improvement, Mr.. Cole
said, GAS you no doubt know, Wards
was the first to introduce instant dial
ing several years ago. This was the
first time station call letters were
ued on an open faced dial to facilitate
tuning. This new movie dial car
ries that one step further by clever
ly charging and lighting the call let
tiers so that you can stand away from
the radio and tune it properly"
More than $500 hours were spent
by Ward engineers and technicians in
developing the new dial. The photo
graphing of the original negative for
the film was accomplished at midnight
on a night chosen because Of the alb
sence of wind. Slight gusts of wind
or vibrations of the building caused
by daytime traffic would have inter-
fered with the accuracy of the work.
The job was accomplished with spec
ial motion picture printer which is the
property of Burton Holmes, the travel
lecturer. It is the only one in exis-
tence.
The new Ward radios are also equip
ped with cathode ray "tuning eye"
which enables the listener to Judge Wis
ably the accuracy with which a station
is tuned in. A variable black line in
the Cunning eye" indicates, by it's
width, this accuracy-a hair line in
dicating perfectly accurate tuning.

BROOKLYN fans are up in arms
- again. They are warning the club
owners not to hire Billy Evans as
business manager. This is not be-
cause they have anything personal
against the former umpire, who Is
such a pal of the National leagues
president. They merely think that
MIR. Evans failed so completely in his
home town of Cleveland when he had
oodIes of money to spend on the In
dians that he could not possibly be a
success in strange and straitened sur
roundings. Thallus, champion
chariot driver in the reign of En-
peror Titus of Rome, was one of the
biggest of all time dough boys of
sports. He competed before hundreds
of thousands of people, won more than
1900 races and piled up more than
three million sesterces in purses. Ses-
terces was the word the Romans had
for dollars.
Sports writer's, long accustomed to
such inane tactics, are chuckling at
