ROOKLYN minister who announced that he would give a set of head phones to every married couple that attended his church Sunday morning preached to standing room only. His text was "Ears have they, but they hear not," and it was a good sermon. The chances are that this preacher will continue to have large crowds—the 1 there are a lot of people who will be praying for a radio set for attendance. There are lance orchestras and dance orchestras wherever you turn. But do you ever listen to Ralph WIU liams and his Rainbow Orchestra through WQJ? If not you are missing a treat. Every day there seems to be a new list of great singing artists and orchestras that are being heard by radio. It Is hoped that eventually we may have them all listed. WBZ has the good fortune to include In their list of entertainers the Hotel Brunswick Dance Orchestra. Here is a feature that is never disappointing to the lover of good dance music. The past week has been a very disappointing one to the broadcast listener. The air has been of static and reception has been very poor for this time of the year. And as usual with this condition existing the programs of the various stations have been far above the average. Stations that are. using power in excesc of 1,000 watts have been coming in with tbe best results, which only goes to prove that with the advent of high power stations, we may expect fair receiving conditions the year around. While we listeners are bugging thd warm spots of our homes listening in, there always comes from WMBF at Miami Beach, Fla., the news of the real warm weather that they are having down there. The programs presented by the Atwater-Kent artists through station WEAF on Thursday evenings are far above the average. The program offered by this group on last Thursday was one of the finest that we have heard in a long while. No names of the artists are given, but from the class of the offerings from a musical standpoint we are willing to gamble that this list of singers and instrumental artists include many well-known operatic; stars. Last Monday evening WCBD opened their super-station with one of the best programs that we have ever had the privilege of listening to. The program started at # p. m. and lasted until after midnight. WCBD is to be complimented on the transmission of their new station as It is all that could be asked for. The programs are dispatched with speed and the modulation of the station is perfect, and above Soldering Flax Only pure resin flux should be used for all soldered joints. Tests show that where acid pastes and compounds are used, they either spatter, fume or run over surrounding delicate parts. This causes leakage and reduced resistance in a manner comparable to a grid leak. Therefore, these fluxes should never be used on radio work. Do not try to slick up a receiver by painting It. Only the cabinet itself should be pa'-.ted. Paint causes leakage. The bait-hoard should be dry and natural so ‘here may be no k>sv, from the parts mounted on it. A loose binding-post on a panel may be fastened securely by the use of s.-nall lock washers, which may be put under the nut at the rear of the panel before the nut 1s tightened down.

all the wave is sharp and does not spread all over the dials. It would be well for several of the other stations to listen to the transmission of this station ar-d act accordingly. Out "Where the West Begins" at WOC, Davenport, you will find the Palmer Little Symphony Orchestra holding forth on the regale*- Sunday evening programs. To listen to this group of musicians is one of the real pleasures of the radio. Here you will find the best of music presented by a group of real artists tbnt seem to put their whole heart and soul Into their work. After listen lng to this organization I think that you will agree with us that it ranks among the best. With thirty stations broadcasting the inaugural ceremonies every part of the country will be able to listen for the first time on this wonderful event which has been con fined in the past to the few thousand that could afford to make the trip to the Capitol. Now, thanks to radio, we can sit in our own homes and listen to the big events that take place all over the country and in the very near future all over the world.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

EXPERT EXPLAINS INTERFERENCETO j RADIO FANS CLUB Kenyon Mix Gives Listeners Hope of Eliminating Trouble. The Indianapolis Broadcast Listeners, at their regular meeting Wednesday night in the roof garden of the Severin, heard reports of the various committees and admitted several hundred new members. Kenyon Mix of the Sleeper Radio Company talked on radio interference and development. Mix told of different kinds of Interference be had experienced In various parts of the country. He said be found Indianapolis at present was one of the worst cities in the country in local interference. The Broadcast Listeners' Association is the one real means of stamping out this interference, he said. The association will start work at once on several cases of Interference that seems to be general. The committee on interference has been making several checks on this during the past week and has located some of the trouble. The greatest trouble at present seems to be interference caused by "howling” single circuit sets not properly tuned

by their operators. A great amount of th.- is being reported on the north side of the city. Several reports concerning leaky power lines and transformers will be checked this week by the committee. A vote of thanks was given to the local power and light companies for. tjielr cooperation.
