Mr.. Fixit: What Is the dif-
ference between radio photo and
felevision and do radio stations
have an apparatus at their sta
tons to tell how many listeners
they have: G. b.
There Is similarity between
the principles of radio photo and
television. In both cases the
object is moved before an cleo
trio eye which is affected by
varying intensities of light and
changes them into electrical i'm
pulses of varying degree which
can be transmitted by radio
waves. At the point of recep-
ton the impulses are reconvert-
ed into the corresponding lights
and shadows.
The old familiar telephone is
the radio stations device for
counting its listeners. Some
times a percentage of the per-
sons In the stations zone is con-
tacted by phone at program
time and sometimes house to
house surveys are taken. From
such samplings of the popula-
ton the numbers Of listeners Is
estimated roughly.
Mr.. Fixit: VIII you please tell
me how TO get birth certifi-
cate when born In Minneapo-
lis, Mimi. NJ. b. w.
Recording of birth certificates
in Minnesota was not compul-
sorry until 1900. In a city the
size of Minneapolis. however,
they may have been recorded
earlier. If you write to the State
Bureau of Vital Statistics, st.
Paul, your letter will be for
warded to the proper office.
Mr.. Fixit: As l was going up
TO a neighbor's house to see
about having him do some work
for me, his dog came toward me.
just In front Of their house the
dog jumped up on me and struck
me with his paw and bit me.
sticking one of his teeth into
my arm. I disclosed the hurt to
them and the son went into the
house and brought out some
medicine and put II on the In
jury. My arm Is quite sore and
IL Is very black and blue. Where
the tooth went In II Is still I'M
healed. What do you think l
should do about IT.? X. L.
You should get a doctors adj
vice about the wound immedi-
ately. 1t also might be safest
to have your neighbor take his
dog to veterinarian to deter

pie the privilege of hearing.
Such conduct is entirely I'M
American and very wrong. The
American people are capable of
hearing and considering the
facts and are able to decide for
themselves what they should do.
l therefore earnestly urge upon
the radio stations and all listen
ers to hear me through ="
Mr.. Editor, that man was not
given the privilege of being
heard through, even by those
who wished to do so. He was
cut off.
But. this morning when I

wait patiently for station an

speech by said creature. And,
no doubt. the American radio
and press will hear him through.

Well, that settled it. Red could not

same way. Her actions were strictly

MR. RED BURKE made an eloquent
gesture of thumbs down and marched
away Lorlene wanted to stop him,
but pride kept her silent She felt an
abrupt tightening in her throat, never
theIess, and knew that she had taken a
dangerous gamble. A girl cannot play
fast and loose with fellows like Red.
Sometimes you can arouse their jeal-
ousy, and then, again. they are apt to
get sore at you and go off with some
other girl.
Back in the file room with Mr..
Dudley and the red-blue. green and
yellow slips, Lorlene worried and wa
vered. But significant fact warned
her of her duty. Mr.. Dos0eH did not
come in sUith properly eounte1sisned
withdrawal sheets for the blnet1ints he

her, about four o clock. and say: "Just

tip of Lorlene's tongue to call off the
date, but a genuine concern over MIR.
Dowell's mysterious behavior caused
her to say: "I'll be ready at quarter
to eight"
Lorlene decided to use some plain
common sense. She hunted in the litter
of slips on the desk spike for the paper
Mr.. Dowell had presented that morn

She waited until Mr.. Dudley was

GLORIFYING CHICAGO STYLE

AS all good little jazzicians should
know, there was developed meth
cd of playing in the early '20's
known as Chicago style" Today,
except for records, this is almost a
lost art. To demonstrate this hot
form, Decca has just released a
special collection of IL sides called
Chicago Jazz Album" featuring
three combinations.
A unit led by Eddie Condor plays
Nobody's Sweetheart and Friar's

Changes Made and Some Day
Sweetheart; Jimmy 4McPartland's

Waiting For the Sunrise; George

on Bugle Call Rags and Wish /

Darktown Strutters Ball.
It's hard to single out any one
platter in such a moving collection
as this for special praise, but l feel
Some Day Sweetheart" and 'Friar's
Point Shuttle" are tops. Indivld-
ually, the musicians are all bril-
liant and Boyce Brown, alto star,
is a genius on his instrument. The
album IS recommended without
reservation, for pure, joyous, und1-
luted jazz. A special folder written
by George Avakian, critic, is in
cluded.
