RADIO EQUIPPED
1,750,000 Sets Sold Annu
ally in U. S., Government
Trade Agents Told.
At the present rate of radio equip
ment turnover, it will take 14 years
to place a radio set in every home in
the United States, O. If. Caldwell of
'Die Federal ltadio Commission told
the district and co-operative office
managers of the Bureau of Foreign
and Domestic Commerce at their con
ference now being held in Wash
ington.
Formerly identified with the radio
retailing trade. Commissioner ('aid
well, before accepting the Govern
ment post, was closely concerned with
the distribution factor, and cited some
statistics that were highly interesting,
in view of the effort being made by
the Department of Commerce to help
the young industry chart its sales
course these next, few years through
dealers’ stock surveys.
Mr. Caldwell said that the rate of
radio set sales is about 1,750,000 a
year, and that at least half of these
represent replacements. Only 25 per
cent of the homes of the country, or
about 7,000.000, are equipped with
radio sets, lie said.
On the other hand, there are 16,000,-
000 wired homes and 16,000,000 tele
phones, according to TMr. Caldwell’s
statistics. There are 11,000,000 phono
graphs. And if radio is regarded in
some quarters as an expensive luxury,
he points to the fact that there are
38,000,000 passenger automobiles in
use in tiiis country. The cheapest
car represents a greater investment
than the highest grade radio set, and
there are those who think the latter
is as indispensable.
In urging the Government trade
agents gathered here from their offices
In all parts of the country to “help
put a radio set in every home," Mr.
Caldwell characterized the radio set
as “the most marvelous piece of mer
chandise we can find." There is a set
made to suit every pocket book, he
said. So much valuable information
and instruction is going out over the
air. quite aside from the entertain
ment, that the home is no more com
plete without radio than without its
daily newspaper.
It was the opinion of Mr. Caldwell,
who is a technically trained man. that
prospective purchasers ought .to get
adequate sets in order to get the
proper tone values in -reception. The
higher-grade transmitters today are
emitting a tonal quality that is “about
perfect.” Barring unusual disturb
ances, there is no reason why listeners
cannot obtain splendid reception from
their local stations, at least, if they
use good sets and maintain them care
fully.
Victor Herbert’s “Naughty Mariet
ta’’ and the weekly radio concert of
the United States Army Band are
the outstanding attractions tonight of
WRC. The musical comedy will be
presented during the Philco hour,
with Jessica Dragonette, lyric so
prano, singing the leading role. She
will be assisted by Doris Doe, con
tralto; Colin O’More, tenor, and
Charles Robinson, bass baritone.
The Army Band concert also will
be flavored with a musical comedy
air. The featured selection is the
score from “High Jinks,” which will
follow the opening march, Sousa s
“El Capitan.” Other selections in
clude the waltz “Tres Jolie” and “The
Mill in the Forest."
WRC will open its evening program
with a dinner concert by the Waldorf-
Astoria Orchestra. An announcement
of the foot ball scores and the weekly
Bible talk will follow'. The station’s
late dance program will be provided
by the Club St. Mark’s Orchestra.
Dorsey W, Hyde, jr., secretary of
the Washington Chamber of Com
merce, will discuss the proposed de
velopment of Washington’s park sys
tem before the microphone tonight of
"WMAD. The topic of Mr. Hyde’s talk,
which will be broadcast at 9:15 o’clock,
is “Planning Washington’s Park Sys
tem.” Another talk on the finger
print system used by the Army by
Christopher C. Bennett also is sched
uled.
WMAL’s musical attractions in
clude a dance program by the Blue
bird Orchestra and a recital by Alice
B. Harvey, pianist.
The extraneous noises and static
which have been rampant on the wave
lengths throughout the week diminished
somewhat last night and permitted
the signals of the out-of-town stations
to come through with a fair degree
of clarity. Reception also was marked
by fair volume and an unrestricted
range for tuning activities. Stations
in all sections responded willingly,
but many of them were afflicted by
fading, which was quite prevalent
during the late hours.

BELLOWS TO LEAVE
RADIO BOARD TODAY
Fifty More Shifts Made on Eve of
Commissioner’s Return to
Broadcasting Field.
Henry A. Bellows leaves his post on
the Federal Radio Commission today,
following a shake-up that has prac
tically revolutionized broadcasting con
ditions. Close on the heels of the
100 or more changes ordered earlier in
the month, the commission this week
announced more than 50 additional
shifts in station allocations effective
with the issuance of the i>U-day license
renewals November 1.
When 150 or more changes are
' made, ehielly in wave-length and pow
er assignments, it means that fully
twice that many and probably more
stations are affected. Thus, in only
one month, practically every other sta
tion among all those operating in the
country has been required to alter the
conditions of its operation in one way
or the other. Since the first alloca
tions of last June, nearly every station
in the country has come under some
edict of the commission. Few are oper
ating today as they did before last
June 15.
Most of the recent shifts are fre
quency changes, primarily divisions of
time between neighboring stations.
Several consolidations are included
where two stations have decided to
use the same transmitter anil combine
the call letters. There are compara
tively few power increases, but also
not many reductions in power. Sev
eral construction permits have been
issued for rebuilding stations, usually
at points outside congested areas.
Mr. Bellows will return to Minneap
olis to resume the directorship of Sta
tion WCCO. Sam I’ickartl of Kansas
succeeds him as commissioner from
the fourth radio zone. Carl If. But
man becomes secretary of the commis
sion, succeeding Mr. Pickard. No an
nouncement. has come from the White
House as yet regarding a successor to
the late Col. John F. Dillon, repre
senting the zone west of the Rookies.
