tribute to the B.B.C.'s "sincere attempt to inter- pret the wishes of the public." It is interesting to speculate on how far it is possible to understand what these wishes are. There is not one publle; if there were, the matter would be easy. There are

Says a Shanghai contemporary to band:-

The C. B. A. were again able to delight the radio world by a con- ccrt very cleverly arranged by Mrs. F. W. Clifton who took an ac tive part herself, accompanying throughout the evening besides giving a selection of two-plano pieces with Mrs. McNeill. The songs of Madame Cloaree and Madame Helen de Carvalho were transmitted with excellent clarity, as also were those of Mr. F. E. Beatty and the piano selection of Miss Phyllis Cumming, all of whom had not before been heard on the wireless.

NEW DRUM DIAL.

A VERNIER PATENT. The Pilot Manufacturing Co. has developed and has introduced to the market a vernier drum dial, Apart from the neatness of the new dial, which, incidentally, will enable "fans" to bring their sets up to the latest standard, there are! a number of features about it that make it desirable from the point of view of either the broadcast or low Asso-wave listener-in. One of these elimina- features is the absolute tion of backlash, brought about by

Another feature, shifting gear. and a most important one, is that as well as the drum circumfer every ence for tuning, a special vernier

Programme Research Work. Saturday night programmes have, on the whole, lagged behind those of any other evening in in- terest and freshness. Saturday is for many almost the best time for

listening in the week; we can en- joy the refreshment of music, poetry, or a play best of all when

the week's work is behind us, and Saturday afternoon's exercise has brought a pleasant tiredness and the desire for a new stimulus. It is not merely light music that is wanted then. Intelligent people de not always wish to take their Saturday night recreation in tri-
