NEVER, never "just tune in "! You do not go to the first show you
pass, nor read the first book you pick up. Is it not just as sensi-
ble to be fastidious in your choice of radio entertainment? The
hours you spend with your radio are really more important because
they constitute a very substantial part of your entire leisure.
In the matter of choosing radio programs, however, one must take
into consideration the very human propensity to follow the path of
least resistance. When we turn to radio in the evening, we are relax-
ing, and the thought of hunting a newspaper, of having to annoy
some member of the family who may be reading it, of handling
large unwieldy sheets in finding the radio page, of having to digest
long columns of station programs to find the features of the

moment in fact, the combination of these thoughts usually
results in snapping the set on and taking the first thing that
comes from the loud speaker if it does not displease. In doing
this, we overlook, time and again, excellent entertainment
that we would thoroughly enjoy, while we only half listen to
the program we do tune in.
WHAT'S ON THE AIR eliminates all of the bother ! It is
always near your set. At the exact time you tune in, it tells
you with almost no effort on your part what the big chains
and powerful nationally popular stations have to offer
at that moment. You not only learn what features are
available but also know what kind of entertainment to
expect. For example, if your mood calls for a symphony
concert, WHAT'S ON THE AIR tells you where to
look for a symphony concert; if your guests want to
dance, it immediately gives you a list of dance orches-
-
tras on the air at the time in short, it tells you
where to find what you want, exactly when you want it.

Programs are at the moment
If you lire in the New York Area
Ex. Let us assume it is 9:05 o'clock, Tues-
day evening.
Turn to the pages marked "Tuesday, 8 to
10 P. M. Eastern."
Read the schedules from the bottom up-
ward. The time figures cover 15 minute
periods. In the column directly above 9
you find the number 12 in the black row,
number 7 in the red row and number 10
in the blue row. A glance at the foot notes
reveals that 12 means that the Columbia
station WABC is broadcasting the "Hank
Simmons' Showboat "; 7 indicates that
WEAF is broadcasting the Eveready Hour,
and 10 in the blue row means that WJZ is
offering the "Three -In-One Theatre." Each
feature is described so that you can make
an intelligent choice.
If you do not lire in the NewlorkArea
Ex. Let us assume it is 8:05 o'clock, Tues-
day evening, and that you live in Chicago.
Turn to the pages at the tops of which you
find "Tuesday, 7 to 9 P. M. Central."
Insert the pages to the left under the
cover flap which shows the Illinois stations.
Draw the top page out so that the edge of
the flap will mark the column at the bot-
tom of which is the 8 o'clock Central
Time figure. You note at once that KYW
is broadcasting the blue chain feature and
WGN the red chain feature, and that the
Columbia chain feature is not being broad-
cast from a Chicago station. Glancing down
the page, however, you find that it may be
heard from W O W O, Ft. Wayne, Indiana,
KOIL, Council Bluffs, Iowa, or WGHP in
Detroit. If you do not know how to tune in
any of these stations on your set, the wave
length guide under the back cover flap will
show you.

HOW TO USE This guide is designed to enable you to use your knowledge of stations with which you
TIIE WAVE are familiar to tune in others with which you may not be familiar.
LENGTH GUIDE Whenever you find it convenient, draw a few lines from the arrows opposite the wave
lengths of the stations you tune in frequently to the points on the representation of a
detector dial to the right, corresponding to points at which these stations "come in ".
Naturally, stations having intermediate wave lengths must respond at points between the lines you have
drawn for guidance.

HOW TO FIND A On the under side of the front cover flap you will find a key. Consult this when
SPECIAL KIND OF your mood calls for a certain kind of program. Then find the index letter you
ENTERTAINMENT want in the schedule column applying to the time you are tuning in.

TO MAKE A Ascertain which of your local stations are broadcasting chain features at the moment.
LONG DISTANCE Tune in one of these and find out what number is being rendered. Then start your
TEST (DX) detector dial at either end of its arc and turn slowly. As soon as you hear the same
number, note your dial setting and check back from your scale to the wave length
to find the wave length of the station to which you are listening. In this manner, you will be able to
know, without being obliged to wait for call letters, just what station you are receiving. If two cross
reference numbers are listed, an appropriate chain color index will guide you in making the identification.
By turning back occasionally to your local station to verify the number being sung or played, you can
go through the entire list and identify many stations in far less time than would be necessary if you
were to wait for call letters.
