NOV. 22,1928.

SURVEY SHOWS MOTOR SAFETY IS ONUPGRADE Auto Mortality Rate Up Little,-Despite Great Increase in Cars. L’n Times Special WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.—Aided by improved traffic devices and stricter police regulations, motor ists are becoming less of a mbnace to life in proportion to the steadily mounting number of passengeautos and trucks. This was disclosed today, when the Department of Commerce announced that reports from 77 cities showed an increase of out .4 per cent in deaths from auto accidents For the year ended Nov. 3. 1928, a total of 7,226 persons was killed, as compared with 6,983 in the corresponding period of 1927. Based on rates per 100,000 of population, the 1928 rate was 22.1 per cent and the 1927 rate 21.7 pei cent. This increase in the percentage of deaths, however, is offset by the fact that a gain of six per cent was recorded in the number of cars. The tabulation was made by an insurance company in thirty-three 'states. Camden, N. J., continued to hold the record of having the highest traffic death rate in the country during the year ended Nov. 3, with 54.2 deaths per 100,000 of population, nine points higher than the city’s 1927 rate. New Bedford, Mass, with but 6.7, had the lowest traffic death rate. Rates for other important cities were: New York, 17.2; Cleveland 23.8; Baltimore, 13.9; Birmingham 14.9; Cincinnati, 27.0; Columbus, 21.0; Denver, 14.0; El Paso, 18.3, Fort Worth, 21.5; Indianapolis 20.8; Memphis, 17.4; Pittsburgh, 20.7; San Diego, 31.9; San Francisco, 20.3.

New Steinite All-Electric Radio Set Passes Tests With Flying Colors

Six-Tube Outfit Offered in Five Models; Is Rugged in Build. BY TIMES RADIO EDITOR During the last week, tests have been made on the new Steinite allelectric radio receiver. This year the Steinite factories are building but one chassis, a six-tube radio frequency set that is offered in five table and console models. These sets come equipped with either dynamic or air column speakers, which may be had at the purchaser's option. The new Steinite has several features including a built-in power pact that is readily adjustable for average line voltages. This adjustment consists of a series of pin jacks which are connected to the various lead-offs from the primary of the power transformer. It is. adjustable to line voltage from 85 to 135 volts. This feature in the Steinite for this year is said practically to have eliminated burnedout tubes. Times Out Easily The set is operated by a single illuminated dial and volume control With the aid of a compensator in connection with the volume control, one is able to time out many stations that cause interference, due to heterodyning. Stations are separated easily within ten kilocyles and the volume is ample to fill a large house. Monday night we heard for the first time this year, Mexico City, coming in just above WJZ on the dial. While the volume of this southern broadcaster was faint, nevertheless, after listening to a dramatic sketch for twenty minutes we were able to hear the station announcement clearly. During the week stations were turned-in from coast to coast, including KFI, Los Angeles. Wtihout aid of an aerial, stations up to 1,000 miles were heard with splendid results. Several nights during the week fore than fifty stations were tuned in. During one, our log reached from WJZ, New York, to KKI, Los Angeles, and from WBAP, Ft. Worth, to Canada. Chassis Is Rugged The chassis is of rugged construction. Three extra heavy variable condensers are mounted on one shaft as big as your index finger, the entire condenser assembly being protected by a steel cage. The chassis is mounted on a steel subpanel, and it is said that once the set is placed in adjustment at the factory there is practically no chance of even rough treatment throwing it out of adjustment. All Steinite cabinets, in both table and console models, are of black walnut veneer, beautifully finished in duco. All Steinite models are equipped with a two-pin jack for reproduction of phonograph records through the dynamic speaker. The interior finish of the set is as neat in appearance as the exterior, being finished in gold lacquer. Steinite radio sets and speakers are distributed in central Indiana by the Peerless Electric Company, 118 South Pennsylvania street, and are sold through eight Indianapolis dealers.

At least ten or more stations may be pernranently added to the Columbia Broadcasting system and a west-to-east broadcast service inaugurated shortly, according to reports current in broadcast circles this week. Some of the sttaions involved are located In Birmingham, Atlanta, New Orleans, San Antonio, Denver, Salt Lake City, Oklahoma City and a few more centers that have been clamoring for entertainment as available from large metropolitan studios. b n u BUB Helen Clark, soprano soloist, will be the guest of the Maxwell House concert to be broadcast through the NBC system, Thursday night at 8:30. One of the numbers in which Miss Clark will be heard, Lee's "Out of the Dusk to You,” has been rearranged by Rosario Bourdon, the director of the orchestra. Lucien Schmidt, cello soloist, contributes “Valse Bluette,” by Black. B B B M B B The Sonora hour, which will be broadcast from stations of the Columbia Broadcasting system at 8 o’clock Thursday night, features the baritone, Ivan Ivantzoff. His voice has been compared by W. J. Henderson, dean of American critics, to that of Chaliapin. Ivantzoff will sing Mouzzargsky’s famous musical satire, “The Song of the Flea,” and the "Volga Boat Song.” B b b B B The Hoover Sentinels and Honeymooners will be heard in a program of popular songs thorugh the NBC system on Thursday night at 7:30. Opening the program with “Dream House,” the orchestra also will play “I Loved You Then as I Love You Now,” the theme song of the motion picture “Dancing Daughters,” the Spanish dance “My Toreador” by Padilla; and close the program with “All of the Time.” b b n B B B Radio manufacturers and dealers have one main question on their minds now that 1928’s election day is history. The presidential race helped to sell radio. Thousands of sets were sold, as were many tubes and other accessories. But now they wonder if this election stimulus will take the wind out of the sails for Christmas. Inquiry among leaders indicates that Christmas radio sales will be large despite politics, because there are millions of homes still without receiving sets. The outlook is bright for Christmas. Electric sets and dynamic loud-speakers are expected to lead the sales. B B B B B B A program of old favorites will be given as a feature attraction in the midweek Federation Hymn Sing through the NBC system, Thursday night at 6 o’clock. The program will consist of the hymns which have been requested most often by the r&dio audience, and will be known as "Old Favorite Night.” B B M B B B McClelland Barclay, whose portrayals of the modem American girl have made him one of the foremost artists of the generation, will present his ideas concerning the beauty of American women during the Lehn & Fink Serenade to be broadcast through the NBC system, Thursday night at 7 o’clock. In addition to Barclay’s talk, the serenade will feature musical selections by a quartet of men’s voices and by a novelty orchestra under direction of Jack Shilkret.
