What Broadcasters Are Doing It is interesting to note that few absolutely novel ideas in radio broadcasting are making their appearance nowadays. Rather, the stations are going back over their earlier and more rapid development and doing the old programs in a more finished manner. * * • A novel method of presenting information of the life and manners of the animals at the National Zoological Park at Washington has been instituted at station WRC by Dr. Wm. M. Mann, superintendent of the Zoo Park. Through the medium of dialogue between himself and the youthful Hugh Clark, questions of particular interest to the younger generation are asked by the boy and answered by Dr. Mann. * * * Fans throughout the country will be glad to know that Howard Lanin, famous orchestra leader, and his musicians, are on the air again. They will be heard every Monday evening beginning at 10:40 from WLIT. * * * WIP will broadcast "Fedora” in tabloid form Sunday evening, Nov. 22 at 10:15. The opera "Fedora” was written by Umberto Giordano with the text by V. Sardou. • * • Three-minute messages from the Civil Service Department are broadcast every Thursday evening at 10 o’clock through the WLW broadcast station.

RELAYS ARE PRAISED Benefits of Several Stations IJnked Are Cited by Usteners. The benefits of several stations broadcasting the same program by remote control is evidenced by a letter to WCCO from B. F. Koperlik, Pueblo (Colo.) attorney. "Last Sunday night I had the pleasure of hearing Mme. Louise Homer through your relay from WEAF. Whenever static started to interfere with whichever station I was tuned in on, I would simply switch to one of the rebroadcasts, and thus got all the songs of Mme. Homer with practically no interruption. NOON CONCERT HEARD An unusual record of long-distance reception at high noon was made by KYW when its early afternoon program was beard in Seattle, Wash., 2,000 miles away from Chicago.

HOOVER MADE RADIO’S CZAR Crown Crammed Upon Unwilling Secretary’s Head. Bu Time* Special WASHINGTON. Nov. 12.—For the first time in the history of American business a huge industry has voluntarily' given to one Government official complete control over its destiny. The fourth national radio conference Wednesday’ crowned Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover its czar, and delegated to him unprecedented powers or regulation over a business which has an annual turnover amounting to many millions of dollars. Like Julius Caesar. Hoover thrice refused the kir.gly crown, but the radio industry, disregarding the classical precedent, finally crammed it over his h<ad, deaf to all protests. Hoover, at the opening of the conference. recommended to the radio representatives that they divide his powers with regional committees. The question was turned over to committees for discussion, and they foreri upon him power and authority to regulate the industry in all things. NO LIGHTNING DANGER There is no danger from lightning striking a radio aerial if it is
