She also finds too many girls and not enough boys are being prepared for office work—although the thoroughly trained stenographer —of which there are very. few—has more jobs offered than she can fill. _She says that many schools from New York to California assured her they could not begin to fill the demand for men stenographers. ” o o 3 CERTAINLY they should have the right to do so. But to my

thinking all such things are matters not of right—legal, social or natural—but matters of good taste and sound judgment—in short, matters of good manners. Just as a matter of social convenience, no doubt it is better, as a rule, to let man propose and woman dispose; but any woman of gentility, intelligence and good judgment will know when it is good taste to do the proposing. Many a man has to be proposed to or else miss a perfectly good wife,

usic in Ten Years

ago radio listeners heard a flat two-

dimensional sound transmission of what went into microphones of that

Today, modern microphones and loud speakers bring to homes and public rooms with surprising naturalness and fidelity the full range of

sound perspective. occasions by the human ear.

The range is extended over that enjoyed on normal

What has happened to the micro-¢ phone in this past decade? It's a striking story. In early broadcasting days, performers entered stuffy little monks-cloth-draped rooms, cuddled up against comparatively insensitive carbon microphones and talked or sang into them much as one would into a telephone mouthpiece. The result was magnificent because it was a novelty.

Music Often Annoyed

The public was not long in realizing, however, that because of limited scope and sensitivity of the microphones, inadequacies of studios and low fidelity -of the entire transmitting equipment, programs were flat and colorless, like photographs made by most primitive methods. ° 2 Orchestra music especially was annoying. Because it was necessary

to use several microphones close to various instruments, there was considerable electrical distortion and great lack of perspective. As the result of advance in construction of microphones, studios and transmitting equipment, broadcasters today are brought. close to the microphone only to achieve certain effects.

Distance Lends Enchantment

Full-toned instruments or voices may be picked up yards away from sensitive “mikes.” Performers

as #

are much more at ease and less circumscribed initheir movements, and sounds they produce are transmitted with greater and greater naturalness and fidelity. Other advantages are obtained by this withdrawal from the microphone. In old days, when the “mike” almost touched the musi-

cians, it was impossible to bring in-

struments in the back row of an orchestra into balance with those in front. E But now that the microphone which picks up music of the New York Philharmonic, Orchestra is placed high up among seats of the first balcony, music of various instruments can be .heard in proper harmonic relation. By incorporating variable acoustic factors in modern studios it is possible to produce the great variety of

sounds which plan an important |-

part in creating a feeling of reality in broadcasts. * For example, though the listener may not realize it, voices of workers in a coal mine sound entirely differant from those of persons walking across a field on a foggy day. The modern studio is constructed to permit these shades of difference to be reproduced with fidelity. \ Broadcasting has become a combination of showmanship, engineering and acoustical control. Each program presents a different problem which must be solve

do stay up, rather than get up, for the coronation, WIRE will have a special music program from 2 to 3 a. m. tomorrow. 2 8 =»

The String Quartet No. 3 in G Major by Charles Ives, who has been called the “Walt Whitman of American Music,” will be given its first public performance when the Roth Quartet piays it from ‘manuscript on CBS’ “Musical Americana” series at 4 p. m. today. : Ives, who is still living, wrote the Quartet No. 3 in 1896, basing it on American hymn tunes. Two of the melodies employed are “Bringing ir the Sheaves” and “Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing.” y The composer, whose desire for obscurity has kept him from becoming known to few persons aside from musicians, made insurance his business until his retirement in 1930, and music was an avocation. The program this afternoon will be completed with the playing of . Chadwick's String Quartet No. 4 in E Minor.

2 =u =n This country has its own “coronation,” and like England’s big ceremony tomorrow, it will be broadcast. If you tune in CBS at 9:30 o'clock tonight, you may hear the “Cotton King” crowned at Memphis, Tenn, The “king” then will read . a proclamation declaring a four-day holiday. A chorus of 300 voices will sing - favorite Negro spirituals of the Old South, and the Cotton Carnival band of 250 pieces will be heard, | : Lhe ceremony is one. of the South’s most colorful and an--nually it attracts many visitors trom all parts of the country. Some of these will be brought to the microphone tonight, ” ” 8

New York, despite the Hollywood trend, remains the country’s most important broadcasting center. NBC programs originating in New Yark in March totaled 696 hours; in Chicago, 387 hours; and San Francisco, 354 hours. ah ; The Hollywood total for March, 1937, for NBC was 104 hours, an increase from 47 hours in the same month of 1936. The figures do not reflect the real significance of Hollywood in network shows, for all the Hollywood--originated shows are important evening broadcasts featuring radio’s and the screen's brightest stars. 2 2 # Dr. John B. Ferguson, Irvington Presbyterian} Church pastor, is in charge of WIRE's early morning devotional service this week. The program, which is heard at~6:45 a. m. daily, Monday through Saturday, will be on the air as usual tamorrow, WIRE dropping NBC's coronation broadcast from 6:45 to 8 a. m, 2 :
