AIRPORTS WILL DOT NATION IN NEXTDECADE Hundreds of Cities Build Service Plants, Lay Out Fields. The United States rapidly is erecting airports—while Indianapolis quibbles and lags. There is hardly a city where an airport is not in existence or projected, a survey made public today shows. Ten years ago airports were relatively as scarce as people in Nevada. Today there are 386 municipal airports, 340 listed as private or commercial, 256 of the intermediate class, 62 owned by the army and 17 by the navy, and in addition to all these 326 are marked auxiliary fields, equipped for service of an emergency nature. Altogether there are 1,387 landing fields where the airman can alight. Nearly 400 are of the standard types, where not only safe landing is provided, but where the machinery for repairing, refueling and the personal comfort of the men who navigate and passengers who travel by air are provided for. Others to Be Built. This is not all, for no less than 890 more airports, in every section of the country are proposed and are now officially listed with the aeronautical branch of the department of commerce. A few years hence, according to all the signs, the United States will be second to no country in the adequacy of its airports. The United States has no airports such as the great Tempelhof field in Germany, with its machine shops, landing field accommodations for pilots, mechanics and air passengers, its giant mooring masts for Zeppelins and other equipment that put the Tempelhof field practically in a class by itself. America “On the Way” Nor has this country any fields that are in the same class as the Corydon field in England or even the Prague Air Reservation in Czecho-Slovakia. But, as assistant secretary of commerce for aeronautics, William P. MacCracken Jr., remarks, "We are on our way.” “The necessity for numerous air ports has become apparent with the rapid growth of civil aeronautics,” he declares. “With the increase of air traffic cities without airports are finding themselves in the same situation as coastal cities without well-equipped, sheltered harbors. Naturally those cities which possess good airports attract air commerce. Valuable for Recreation “The commercial value of an air port is not its only reason for existence. It is important as a recreation facility, similar to city parks, golf courses, bathing beaches, etc. “European cities stress this air park idea by providing balconies from which flying operations can be observed, restaurants, cases, etc. “The airport should be a municipal enterprise, just as the maintenance of city docks and highways is generally recognized as being within the province of the municipality.” Warns of Aviation Stocks Extending its work of protecting t.he public against stock frauds into the aviation field, the Better Business Bureau of New York City, Inc., has issued a bulletin calling attention to a need for forestalling the exploitation of the industry by unscrupulous promoters. Plans have been made to investigate promotional aviation issues and give the information free to the public. The bureau points out that the investor in aviation can guard against the “cracking-up” of his investment only by exercising caution 4 comparable to that of a flier, who does not hop off until every known hazard has been eliminated. Dirigible Cost May Be Cut A synthetic material for use in making the gase cells required to hold the gas that floats airships of the Zeppelin type has been developed in the laboratories of the bureau of standards. Experiments have been going on for ton years. The fabric devised is expected to solve one of the main problems connected with dirigible construction and maintenance. If final tests verify those already made, the new fabric will lessen the cost of dirigibles of the size of the two 6,000,000-cubic-foot ships au-

THE informal La Palina smoker, with the noted concert and recording soprano, Olive Kline, in the role of La Palina, will be broadcast by stations of the Columbia system at 8:30 Wednesday night. The broadcast presents the La Palina symphony orchestra: the congress man, a master of ceremonies and novelty entertainer, as will as instrumental and vocal soloists. bub ana The entrance from Bizet’s opera “Carmen” will be an orchestral feature of the Palmolive hour to be broadcast over the NBC system on Wednesday night at 8:30. Director Gustave Haenschen has also selected In a Garden,- from Goldmark’s “Rural Wedding,” as an added symphony number. a a a a a Anew kind of radio broadcasting chain has cropped up. This time it’s run by a radio advertiser alone. I, J. Fox, furrier and sponsor of the Fox Fur Trappers, is its backer. He started the system three years ago with a program on one station. That kept up for two years. Then he branched out. Now the Fox Fur Trappers are heard from WEAF, WRNY and WMCA, New York; WCAU, Philadelphia: WEEI, Boston, and WTAM, Cleveland. And Fox says he isn’t through. a a a u * a Continuing its series of midweek concerts, tne United Military band will be heard from stations of the Columbia breadcasting system at 9:30 Wednesday night.

Two selections of American folk music will be introduced into the American Magazine hour to be broadcast through the NBC system Wednesday night at 7 o’clock. The compositions are melodies of the pioneer days of America, and have been especially arranged for this presentation. nan Bum QUESTION—I have a superheterodyne (second harmonic) set which uses UV-199 tubes. There Is a UX-120 In last stage. I am thinking of buying a Magnavox Cordova dynamic speaker. This speaker operates with one 281 type tube and one 210 tube. Do you think I could get the quality of tone with the above set and speaker as I would get with the late model radios and dynamic speakers which operate without rectifier and power amplifier tubes? My radio Is good and I hate to junk it If there Is any way I can get around It.—W. H. A. ANSWER—Yes; plug the dynamic unit into the jack used for the head phones. The volume would probably be too great if the loud speaker was plugged in at the output stage. Receiving sets equipped with dynamic speakers always use a power tube in the last socket. The 210 tube serves as the power tube in the uni: you mention. U O It BUB A portion of Saint-Saens’ opera, “Samson et Dalila,” with Charles Marshall and Cyrena Van Gordon in the leading roles, will be broadcast direct from the stage of the Auditorium theater, Chicago, as the Balkite hour through the NBC system Wednesday night at 9 o’clock.

thorized by congress by approximately $500,000 each. The material used for the new fabric is said to be available in unlimited quantities, which is not the case with the goldbeater’s skin fabric that has been used heretofore in this country and abroad. New Bellanca Built In his Wilmington (Del.) factory, G. M. Bellanca is about ready for the first flight tests on a twinmotored plane, the first of the type he has built. This plane is destined for a trans-Paciflc flight, according to reports; the pilot is to be Shirley Short, the former air mail pilot, and the backer will be a Chfcago newspaper. During the war, when Bellanca was building planes at Hagerstown, Md., he designed a twin-motored bomber which he offered to the government. Those in charge of army and navy aviation activities at that time would not lend motors for the experiment, so Bellanca put his plans aside until he could build the ship without government help.

Radio TELEVISION TO BE BROADCAST BY 21 STATIONS . Others File Applications.for Licenses With Federal Board. Bu Science Service WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.—The amateur radiovision enthusiast soon will have at least twenty-one stations broadcasting such programs, located all the way from Lexington, Mass., to Los Angeles. These are operated by eleven broadcasters, nine now functioning, with two having stations under construction. Several others have applied to the federal radio commission for authority to enter this field, but have not been granted licenses. Included in this number are three of the chief manufacturing firms. The Radio Corporation of America, in New York City, has three bands of 100 kilocycles width each. One is in use, two under construction. The General Electric Company at Schenectady, N. Y., is broadcasting regularly on three frequencies, including 790 kilocycles, that of the WYG broadcast station. These are all on ten kilocycle widths. The Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company of PittsDurgh, has been assigned two bands of 100 kilocycles width, at wavelengths of 63 and 150 meters. The former is now in use, but on an irregular experimental schedule. Situation Little Changed Though the federal radio commission recently issued anew order regulating radiovision broadcasting, this does not affect the present situation greatly. One of the chief points is that it may be done freelj though with the necessary appro.al by the commission, on frequencies above 1,500 kilocycles or wavelengths below 200 meters, the lower limit oi the broadcast band. Radiovision broadcasting on frequencies between 550 and 1,500 kilocycles, the present band of the broadcast stations, will be permitted, with certain limitations. One is that no band wider than 10 kilocycles may be used for the purpose. Another is that it shall not be done more than one hour each day, and that it shall not be done between 6 and 11 p. m., in order not to interfere with broadcast listeners. All present radiovision broadcasters are using the shorter wavelengths, except WGY, WRNY, WCFL and WIBO. None has bands wider than 10 kilocycles, as that is the width of all sound broadcasting bands. Reallocation Promised Os these stations, only WRNY has been broadcasting radiovision in the evening hours, so that appears to be the only station even slightly affected. However, the radio commission has announced that there will be further reallocation of the radiovision bands. The Radio Manufacturers’ Association recently adopted as standard the forty-eight-line, fifteen-picture-a-second method, with the scanning across the frame from left to right and top to bottom, as one reads the pages of a book in English Though some of the broadcasters have not yet adopted this, four are now using it and probably more will follow.

Others broadcasting on she same wave have sent in programs for the same times, while other have failed to send In any copy at all. These are lust some of the difficulties we have had to contend with in compiling our service this week, and we hope that if you discover any errors (which we have tried very bard to avoid), you will overlook them as we think most of the stations will have their troubles straightened out by next week, sufficiently to send in correct information.
