RADIO WHISTLE DUE
WAVE BIND CROWDING
RADIOCASTING STATIONS FIGHT
ING FOR SUPREMACY IS
DISTURBING
CHICAGO, Jan. 5. (/P) — If a
strange whistle is emitted by the
family radio this winter, it may be
uiseless to climb to the roof to in
spect the aerial or to search for the
source in the hookup.
The new disturber probably is the
sound of two or more radiocasting
stations fighting it out for supremacy
in the same or adjoining wave
lengths.
If several transmitters are on the
same wave-lengths their output
comes from the receiver as a jumble
of unpleasant sounds, or with a whist
ling background that virtually ruins
reception.
Since the Department of Com
merce has relinquished its authority
of wave-length assignments, some of
the new stations and others that
have changed their wave-lengths
have taken channels which overlap
those of other transmitters, result
ing in inter-station interference. The
crowding of the stations into the
same wave-band makes itself known
by a heterodyne or a whistle with a
varying pitch.
Radio men believe that the situa
tion will not improve until Congress
gives authority to some agency
which would have control over broad
cast. The Department of Commerce
sought relief a year ago by refus
ing to license additional broadcast
ers but later discarded this idea.

Mill HARMS CROP
BUT HELPS FORESTS
CAMPAIGN TO EDUCATE TOUR
ISTS AGAINST FIRE SHOWS
RESULTS
ST. PAUL, Jan. 5. (IF)—If the corn
belt farmer this fall wept with the
skies over the excessive rainfall, the
forest rangers of the wooded Great
Lakes territory were filled with glee.
The fall of 1926 has been the quiet
est in years from a forest fire stand
point, along the north border, and the
timber which will build many a cot
tage lias been saved by the heavy
rains of late August and September.
The first blanket of snow early in
November virtually ended the annual
forest fire sealson in Minnesota, Wis
consin and northern Michigan, with
losses far below the average. Fires
in Michigan this year burned over
166,112 acres, compared with 725,
928 last year, while Wisconsin and
Minnesota suffered even less.
Campaigns to educate tourists
against fire are beginning to show re
sults, forestry officials say.

ARIZONA'S EH-CHON
SITE Of OPEN THESTEO
ECHO CANYON, Ariz., Jan. 4. (£>)
—High above the cacti-studded desert
"with a towering cliff as a background,
an open-air theater will be built in
this rock-ribbed canyon, which is it
self a natural amphitheater.
Echo canyon’s acoustics are so per
fect that an ordinary conversational
tone will carry faithfully for 600 feet.
The thinnest note of a high-pitched
violin will penetrate into the canyon’s
innermost recesses. A cliff acts as
a natural sounding-board. Opposite
it a talus slope will afford graduated
elevations for spectators’ seats.
The Echo Canyon Bowl association,
sponsor of the project, plans to pro-,
vide seating facilities for 5,000 persons
and, eventually, for 25,000.
