J. H. DELLINGER By XEJ. Service WASHINGTON, Sept. 7.—Approach of cooler weather heralds the return of radio to its former popularity. So says J. H. Dellinger, chief of the radio laboratory of the U. S. Bureau of Standards. Dellinger represented Uncle Sam at the recent International Radio Conference. During the summer radio had a decided slump. It was not unexpected by those who had had experience In the new science. Warm weather has ever caused a slump In radio. The reason for this has been not so much the Interference of static as it has been the call of the outdoors. Even the dyed-in-the-wool radio fan abandoned his set and went out to play. "But," says Dellinger, “a greater wave of general radio development than ever before is due during the coming winter months. “For one thing, atmospheric conditions are much better for radio in the winter. That makes possible more satisfactory results both in sending and receiving. “Next, the opportunity for enjoying radio programs will be much more appreciated during the long winter evenings. This, in addition to the better results that will come with the improved athomspheric conditions, seems certain to bring anew high peak in the use of radio during tho eoihing winter." Beveridge Entertains Albert J. Beveridge, Republican nominee for United States Senator, was to hold a reception for Indiana Republicans at his home this afternoon.

‘Canned’Music Offered by Radio Stations Causes Public Concern

By United New* WASHINGTON, Sept. ".—The secret misgivings of Government radio experts that the art would run wild in the hands of amateur broadcasters are now a public concern. Kadio broadcasts—with a few individual exceptions—have sineg. the beginning of the radio craze, a year ago. been none too distmet. But of late the broadcast service in various cities has been such as to make purchasers of radio receiving sets question the desirability of continuing their interest in radio. Officials, by virtue of their scientific interest, have all along striven to de- , velop the best in radio apparatus, but at no time have they succumbed to the enthusiasm with which “mushroom stations” have advertised their ethereal wares. Now. even leading radio publications are protesting against the slipshod methods employed by commercial broadeaters. The compla’nts both of publications and individual owners or radio receiving sets may be listed as follows: 1. That too much "canned” music is being used. Phonograph and rianola concerts are too commonly substituted for the human broadcaster of vocal and instrumental music.

Today a man appeared at Frank’s store and sold the three stolen tiies back to Frank for $45. While the cashier was making out the check Frank called the police. Detectives O’Donnell and Garrlnger arrested Morris Davis, No. 89, The Lexington Apartments, charging him with vagrancy. Davia said he was acting as an agent for Fred lozzo, 34, of 349 E. Merrill St., a grocery keeper. He said that he did not know the tires were stolen. lozzo was arrested on the charge of receiving stolen goods. LAW VIOLATION HELD Federal Trade Commission Acts In Case of Big Steel Merger. By United Press WASHINGTON, Sept. 7.—The Federal trade commission holds the proposed merger of the Midvale Steel, Republic Iron and Steel and Inland Steel Companies would violate the law and has filed a formal complaint against completion of the merger, tho commission reported to the Senate today.

By United Press ATLANTIC CITT, N. J., Sept. 7. The executive council of the American Federation of Labor will meet here Saturday instead of tomorrow. It was believed inability of some to reach here caused the delay. There was some discussion of transferring the conference to Washington.

RELIEF By United Press CHICAGO. Sept. 6.—The "low” area over the Dakotas which caused intense hot weather over the central States, broke today. Heavy rainfall throughout North Dakota and scattered thunder storms in Minnesota brought partial relief from the heat.

2. That even when the broadcasting is done by singers, v.olinists nr plan ists. the performers are too ofen second rate “local talent,” inexperienced in the eart of speaking, singing or playing into the radiophone diaphragm. 3. That most of the city broadcasting is being done by electrical shops with poor acoustical equipment, and that the persons operating the transmitting apparatus are too often “bell hangers." who know little about the technical side of radio. 4. That too many "people with nothing to say, but taking a long time to say it," are jamming the works. These are among the most conspicuous and numerous complaints. Government experts, pursuing quietly their investigations and experiments, are absorbing these complaints as so much scientific or near-scientific data and making us of them as such to continue the development of radio apparatus. Beyond this, their office cannot take them, but they are all bearing in mind that unless the radio merchant who runs a broadcasting station takes the complaints seriously and immediately attempts to remedy the defects of his service, the future popularity of the radiophone will suffer materially.
