I can get WTAM on 590 meters very loud and I hear the same station down around 120 meters very weak. CSan you tell me the wave-lengths they broadcast on? What is the wave-length of radio station WMBF in Miami, Fla., and who it is owned by? About two months ago I received a station eltner in North Dakota or in South Dakota, and I think it is owned by some coal company. I understand the call letters to be WBCQ. The annoonecr said that this was a ten watt station and something about a two hundred output. They broadcasted on 227 meters I think, and they came in like a five-hundred watt station, very loud although a little noisy. Could you find out where this station is located? JONATHAN DILS. WTAM uses only one wave length, Which is at the present time 8M meters. WMBF operates on 330 meters and is owned by the Fleetwood Hotel Company. Station WBCQ is not listed in the latest call book no

Times Radio Editor: Was much interested in your .article in Radio Section of last Thursday’s Times with reference to local Interference. There is Ho doubt in my mind that the greater part of this interference is caused by owners of receivers who have no regard for the other fellow at all and most of it is intentional on their part. I am heart, ly in sympathy with such an organisation and any other movement to help stamp out Interference. W. F. LACY, 404 W. Twenty-Eighth St. Times* Radio Editor: It Is with great pleasure that I send ray name In an effort to stamp out local interference, most of which is from Bloopers operated by "Don’t give ad n owners."

iOlfflM inkeyleS DETROJITHEATER Pavlowa Unable to Find Mount for Befuddled Cavalier. By United Prets DETROIT, Jan. 28.— Detroit—the motor city of tbe world —has one claim to fame —it’s also donkeyless. None other than Madame Pavlowa is authority for this. .When the curtain rose for the first act of "Don Quixote,” the majestic but befuddled cavalier, whose titles the performance, appeared astride the raw bones of a shop* worn cart horse. The audience wondered if Madame Pavlowa wished to renovate the play for their edification. Could they have glanced behind the scenes there would have been no apprehens en on Madame’s willingness to conform to custom. ,r What do you think,” said Madame Pavlowa, “Detroit is a donkeyless city. It is the first time it happens in America; not nowhere in the city could we find a donkey. Every city we visit, we have no difficulty in obtaining a donkey. But in Detroit —heir —motor cars is all one sees. For two days before wa opened our performance here the manager hunted for a donkey. Everywhere he asks, ‘A donkey fer one night, please; It is -very up gent.’ But he comes to me one hour before the performance and gives the bad news. ‘Madame,’ he says, *l. have look everywhere. But a donkey? Bah—it is impossible.’ ” Not very long before the pep form&nce was scheduled to start on* of the manager’s assistants toformed him that one which might answer the purpose was tethered in the alley in the rear of the th eaten The manager’s face relaxed as the probability of the hunt for a donkey became apparent. He rushed to the alley and there, pawing the snow, was a Shetland pony. “Urn,” exclaimed the stage manager, skeptically surveying the animal with a discerning eye. "I’m not so sure; Madame will have to be consulted." The pony was brought in lo Madame Pavlowa. She gave the inoffensive pony just one look. "His ears—impossible! No—better a horse."
