or new discovery of his own in whom
he sees radio possibilities.
That shrewdness has kept him on
the air continuously for the same spon-
sor for nearly seven years. with only
one two-week vacation lapse and with
a show that costs the sponsor for time
and talent not less than $4,000 a
week and probably considerably more.
Rudy himself, it is said, has, with
native Yankee astuteness and without
the usual prodigality of show folk,
salted away no less than cool mil
lion as his personal fortune out of his
radio, stage, screen and night club
work.
IF YOU are q short-wave radio fan

BILE LZ-129 otherwise known as the

meter wave length Cor around $4,000
kilocycles) during the course Of its
forthcoming voyage to the United
States, scheduled to start May 6. When
it gets under way it will broadcast on
a regular schedule to the United States.
With Max Jordan of the National
Broadcasting Co.'S European staff
aboard. together with Kurt Won
Boeckmann, director of the Reich
short radio system, transmissions
of the flight will be sent both to the
United States and to Germany for re-
broadcasting over the regular radio
systems. The zeppelin's Telefunken
radio apparatus is described by ex-
perts as the most modern all-wave
type, covering the long-wave range
from SIS to 2,700 meters, with 200
watts for telegraphy and 125 watts
for telephony, and the short-wave
range from II to 10 meters, with 200
watts, the aerial consisting of two 500
foot trailing wires. When the ship

heard clearly at Chatham, Mass. by
the Government coastal radio station.
RE-ENTRY of General Motors into
the radio manufacturing field, dis
closed by its purchase last week Of the
Crosley Radio Corp. plant at Kokomo,
Ind, is regarded in radio trade circles
as intended to free the big motor con-
Germ from its dependence upon out
side sources for its supply Of automo-
bile radios. despite the company's
statement that it will continue to buy
some of its auto radio requirements
from the outside.
Virtually all cars now being mar
keted are equipped with antenna and
shielding devices for radio installa-
tions, and auto radios today are SELL
ing at the rate of well over 100000 a
year. General Motors may make the
receiving apparatus standard installa-
tions in its cars eventually, but is not
expected to go into the field of home
radios. General Motors in 1888 quit
the home radio manufacturing field
| following its failure to market the
products Of the General Motors Radio
Corp, subsidiary it owned at Dayton
Ohio. Its new Kokomo plant will op-
crate as a unit of its Delco-R -Remy
division.

Kipling on Air.

THOUGH some of his stories and
poems lend themselves admirably
to radio adaptation, the late Rudyard
Kipling would never allow them to be
used on the radio. Now comes an an
nouncement from London that exec
utors of the estate Of the great British
author and poet have arranged with
the British Broadcasting Corp. that a
considerable part of his works may be
drawn upon for broadcasting.
One of Kipling's tales. a commen-
tator in World-Radio Of London re-
calls, is story called Wireless" writ
ten in the early days of radio long be-
fore the advent of broadcasting. which
the writer asserts, shows such an
amazing appreciation of the possibili-
ties Of wireless that 1t would make a
wide appeal today" If Kipling is
heard over the B. B. c., it Is antici-
pated that it will be only short while
before his works are carried over the
radio in America.

Popularity of ''Today's Prelude''
Earns Regular Spot at WMAL

I'M McGRATH. popular N. B. c.
announcer. has won a permanent
spot on WMAL with his "Todays
Prelude" presentations.
The program. made up of recorded
classical music, was introduced sew
eral weeks ago purely as an expert
ment, to discover the reaction of the
radio audience. Its acceptance was
instantaneous, and ever since Nc
Grath's mail has continued to in
crease.
"Today's Prelude" is the only pro-
gram of its type broadcast during the
early morning hours by a Washington
station. There are no commercial
plugs" and the music is interspersed
only with the weather report and the
time.
The experiment came as result of
the success with the "Slumber Hour"
on WMAL, which is similar in re-
spect to the "Today's Prelude"

The Hours of Every Day and Night
Filled With Entertainment.
Attendance Is Large,

The Crow fair is occupying the
time of most of the Crow resi-
dents. The hours of every day
and night are filled with enter
tainment, starting with the pa
radeS in the morning and con-
tinuing through the afternoons
with the exciting rodeos and rae
es, and ending in the evenings
with war-dances by the Indians
and ballroom dancing in a pavil-
ion, beano games, and other at
fractions. There are sixteen con-
cessions operating at the fair
grounds.
One of the most interesting
demonstrations was the tribal
dancing which is staged each
night. The costumes of native
handicraft are beautiful in them
selves. Those who have never
been privileged to have seen ma
tive dancing have missed a worth
while sight indeed.
The area in which the dancers
and singers hold forth, coupled
with the dust and moonlight,
gives a fine impression as if time
were turned back sixty or eighty
years. The white tepees strung
out under the trees give the nee
essarv background for this im-
preston.
One can envision with this
stimulus the sort of camp which
lay in the Little Horn river bot
tom, fifty years ago. when Custer
blundered into a hornets nest.
It is unfortunate that the fair
was not advertised more extern
sivelv in metropolitan newspapers.
Beside the interest of local peo-
pie. the interest of tourists and
dudes would be highly welcome.
Those people of eastern United
States who have heard much of
the historically significant Crow
tribe we are sure would send many
interested spectators were they

CROW INDIAN FAIR
PRONOUNCED SUCCESS

aware of the local display OF Crow
culture and industry. However,
each succeeding fair stimulates
more interest. The dances are
entitled to a special tribute.
A source of qualification to the
management is the fact that
there is a good attendance from
Hardin and the other communities
of the county, and this attendance
promises to be larger the last two
days of the fair-Friday and Sat-
urday.
School began Monday, although
attendance is at a low ebb be-
cause of the attraction of the fair.
With the exception of Rosalind
Landon, who replaces Eva Town
send, the Crow teaching nersonnel
remains the same as last year.
Almost all ECW construction
has ceased during the Crow fair.
The Crow Indians have shown
splendid organization and Coop
Grafton in the operation of their
fair. Things have been done with
a rapidity and dispatch which re-
minds one of a military set-up.
Working a. they have with limit
ed funds and assistance, much
labor and resourcefulness was nee
essary to put over the very sue
cussful operation as of this date.

Available
To Big Horn County Farmers Thru

Administration.

Emergency drought grants are
available to all Big Horn county
farmers in need of money to take
care of human needs, it was stated
here today by VIM. E. Corkins,
county rehabilitation supervisor.
for the resettlement administra-
ton.
So far there has been little de-
mand for grants, the total made
since July l, amounting to only
81 and representing $871 90, ac-
cording to the supervisor.
This has been largely because
of aid given through the co-opera-
tive work program with the WPA,"
he said, However, we anticipate
greater demands for grants as fall
and winter approach and are anX-
ious to have every farmer know
that they are available"
These grants constitute one of
five forms of drought aid offered
by the reSettlement administra-
ton. They are available for the
purpose of buying human sub
sistence needs, mainly feed.
Payment of grants to drought
stricken farm families is made in
the form of monthly checks. The
amount of each check is based
on carefully determined budgets
worked out by the farm families
and local resettlement admins
tration workers.
In addition to work on WPA
projects and grants, drought aid
is offered by the resettlement ad-
ministration in the form of feed
loans, seed loans and assistance
in locating feed supplies.
"All applications for drought
aid in any form should be made
to our office, Hardin, in the Post
office building" Mr.. Corkins said.
