SS SINGERS. vf some are favorites BEST TALENT By ISRAEL KLEIN Science Editor. NEA Service A survey or broadcasters throughout th United States points to these facts: 1 Women make poor radio announc'T: 2 They are best in broadcasting and children features, such as household advice and bedtime dories. 3. They match about evenly with men as singers and instrumental entertainers.

These are he positive conclusions drawn from answers of about 100 radio station directors to a questionnaire sent out by The Register through NEA Service, Inc. Other points brought up by va rious directors show a difference of opinion among them as to personality, assurance, poise, authoritativeness, range of voice, diction, volume. From the Same Sex! The most inclusive response to the questions about woman place in broadcasting comes from a woman. Jean Sargent, service secretary of Station WXAO at Boston. announcers, without any doubt, women will never be the success that men are.

says Miss Sargent. Perhaps this is due to the fact that the average voice is of so much thinner qnality than a man's that it registers but poorly in But their diction is much clear- er. she adds, and their personality displays itself more easily because they are less conscious of the situation than are men. Yet other of this statement. That women are self-conscious to a greater extent than men is argued by many other directors.

Short on Versatility The greatest objection to women, however, is in announcing. Here, it is the general opinion, versatil- I itv is essential And versatility is what women lack. "A radio announcer." declares Leo Fitzpatrick, famous director of Station WDAF at Kansas City, be able to broadcast a football game, prizefight, or other sporting event and then turn around and broadcast a symphony i concert, if necessary. Women would be entirely out of place, in in this Even as singers, some directors find women at greater disadvantage than men. Fred Smith, former director of Station WLW at Cincinnati, writes: female voice is pitched an octave higher than the male voice I and does not register well over radio.

However, if women would hold the pitch of their voice down to about middle or natural be- low middle they would register better. is where the average male voice is placed and where it is ex- cellent for broadcasting. Women, as a rule, speak at about or above middle and this gives a nervous effect on the Voice Control Essential Yet. counters. C.

Rhoae- hamel of Station KGO at Oakland. it so much the matter of voice, as it is of voice control. coloratura he says, the dramatic instinct and remembrances of musical fireworks far beyond their physical and mental And that is why we sometimes quake at their high notes. Maxine Brown, famous of the who has broadcast her one thousandth song by radio, is praised by practically all directors.

She has the perfect radio voice, says Forbes Fairbairne of Station WTAS and WCEE at Elgin, 111., and T. I). Tomv of Station at Detroit At the Victor radio concerts Mine Frances Alda's voice brought in thousands of applause letters to the broadcasting stations. Many women have won considerable popularity among radio fans. But practically all by their singing.

One of the few exceptions is Judith C. Waller (upper right), director of Station WMAQ at Chicago. Maxine Brown, (upper left), is considered a perfect entertainer by many directors and fans. And Mme. Frances Alda (lower photo), won over a large following during the Victor concerts last fall.

Use the jacks in place of binding posts on the terminal board of the same size in such a way the tips will insert nicely in the jacks The tips of course are soldered to the battery leads. If your set squeals it may bother your reception, so let it squeal. Find the point on the.

dial where the oscillation starts on a given signal, and then always i keep it below this point. When you want to hear stations using the shorter waves and they are on the lower part of vour dials, substitute straight-line frequency variable condensers for those you now use. A smooth file should be used to brighten up an oxidized soldering iron. Then run the iron on a piece of salamoniae, tin it and while hot wipe it on a cloth. It is better to connect your ground to the water pipe before it reaches the water meter, if possible.

for there is considerable resistance in the me-ters.
