Nearly two million pounds of the taxpayers' money is spent every year by the Corporation..I have never been able to see any detailed accounts; these are not rendered to Parliament and, so far as I know, are not published. I think we ought to know everything there is to know about salaries, wages and payments generally. The public, I think, do not realise that the House of Commons has no right to discuss these financial questions.This being so, it is more important that publicity should be found in other ways. Payments to British Civil Servants, to members of the Government and M.P.'s, are known to the world. There is surely no reason why payments made to the Board and staff of the B.B.C. should not also be published, as well as the payments made to artists and others. No one questions the integrity of the administration of the B.B.C. in these respects.This, however, is no reason why the same principles which apply to government and municipal life should not apply to the B.B.C. All who believe in maintaining the very highest standard of good govern- ment, every housewife and v...ge earner, every business man and women will,I am sure, agree with me that the present arrangement should be changed. The other question is the recruitment of the staff. Many statements have been made about conditions and organisation of

Many years ago, Edward Bellamy in his Looking Backward, a Socialist Utopia, drew a picture of society in which, among other things, music was "on tap" in the houses, just like water. You could turn it on (we did not use the word "switch" then) and "music BROADCASTING flooded into the room." How this absurdity was laughed at !It was held to provide another and more convincing evidence of the fact that all Socialists were fools. Yet what else is wireless than Bellamy's dream come true? Before this dream came true, music and a great deal of the lectures and educational material broadcast to -day were the privilege of the well-to-do TRADE UNION ? and the moderately well-off. This articleis written at the special invitation of The working class could a few times a year scrape up the money for a bad seat at a concert and turn out on a winter's night to hear what were "Radio Pictorial" by Mr. Lansbury.

6 February 8,1935 Is\ourReception Good Enough? 5vOWADAYS when we talk about receptionweobviouslymean foreign reception, for even the poorest set will bring in two or threeBritishprogrammeswithoutany trouble at all.But in spite of the advances that have been made in recent years there are still too many listeners whose reception of Continental stations is not good enough. Are you in that position )And, if you are, what are you doing about it? If you admit that your results are not as good as they might be --or as you wish them to be- you will think that Ishall at once recommend you to buy a new set.But very often such a drastic remedy is not necessary, although, of course, if you are thinking it is about time that four-year old set was scrapped, then by all means do so. There are three ways in which your reception may be unsatisfactory.Your set may be in- sufficiently selective, in which case you will hear another programme in the background when you are tuned to a particular station.Or the set may be so insensitive that you cannot bring the signals up to reasonable strength. The third cause of dissatisfaction may be that the quality of Continental programmes is so poor that they are not worth listening to :in which event you should certainly get a new set and not waste time tinkering about with that old one For, unless there is something radically wrong with it, no modern set gives such bad quality that it is a penance to listen -in. Now what can you do about station -overlap- ping? Are you sure it is the set that is at fault, or is it that you have never properly mastered the fine art of tuning-and controlling reaction? Although the super -het is growing enormously in popularity there are still thousands of "re- action" sets in use.My own experience leads me to the belief that only about one listener in ten really knows how to use this control to the best advantage. Too often the "reaction" is used as a simple control of volume.If the stationistoo Programmes fromathome and abroad weak you say :" Ah, I must turn the reaction up -they're all the same to this listener a bit."And with what result? The quality is marred because the circuit gets into a state of with her Ekco console receiver electrical excitement called "oscillation."And that is absolutely fatal for good reception. The truth about the proper control of reaction is that you must be light-fingered-which is one reason but we haven't finished yet.Next you must turn the reaction why professional pick -pockets should make extremely good knob back just a fraction, until the reception is no longer blurred. wireless operators !The average listener has not practised At this point the set is in its most sensitive and its most selective this fine touch, and when turning the reaction control condition. plunges the set in and out of this state of oscillation.

The lady in charge of the letter registry is Miss Mills.She took my breath away by informing me that all letters went to her first.I thought of some of the things I had written to my friends on the staff, and told Miss Mills I felt I was going to blush.She hardly helped me by telling me she knew my writing and the sort of things I was likely to put in my letters."I have just delivered half a dozen of yours," she added.I knew that because I had left a bundle at the reception desk on the way in. " I see I shall have to put private and confidential or something of the sort," I told her.She seemed to think that wasn't playing fair at all, and was evidently amused at my concern. It occurred to me just then that there must be a good number of people employed in dealing with a hundred and fifty thousand letters a year.

When she first came to be in " digs" she had one room to herself.Now she has a sort of ground floor flat.Her one-time bedroom is her office, if you please.Besides which she has a private sitting -room.Altogether she seems to be very comfortable and her friends with whom she lives are very good to her. She spoke to us in warm terms about them. Now that she is a successful radio star, Kitty does a little entertaining and generally lives a busy life.She is up early in the mornings as there is a huge fan -mail to tackle. Kitty handles the whole mail herself.The day may come when she will have to employ a secretary, but she is struggling along solo at the moment. As a matter of fact, Kitty admitted she was weeks behind with her letters and that the fact worried her.She asks readers to be indulgent with her, as she can only mrs.nage a certain number of letters each day.But she is really grateful to you for writing. Kitty lives quite a simple life.She doesn't drink-says she doesn't like wines.Neither does she smoke.She is having her own piano sent down from Manchester shortly, as she finds the necessity for working at her new songs every moment she gets. If she comes across anything she fancies she will practice for hours at a time until she is satisfied.Sometimes she gets keen on a song that happens to be orchestrated in a key too high or too low for her, but generally she is allowed to sing what she finds appealing to her musical senses. Of course she thinks the world of Henry Hall.Kitty thinks he is very wise.She used that word of him quite emphatically. She has apparently first song he put his thumbs up-the magic sign at Broadcasting House often gone to him for advice and he has never let her down. for a successful venture. The story of how she met Henry is worth telling.First of all, let us tell And that was that. you how she began singing.She began when she was four.At six she Now Miss Kitty is touring the country.She has very little time to was quite a little variety artist.When she was ten she was offered a herself.Her mail takes her a good hour and a half each morning; then seventeen -week engagement at the Coliseum.She could not obtain a there are rehearsals, of course. licence because she was not twelve.So she had to refuse-at least her Apart from broadcasting she is on at the Astorias, or the Stoll Houses mother had to refuse the engagement. and recently at the Alhambra.She generally does part of her songs with But Kitty never forgot that.She wanted to come to London.She had a microphone in the approved broadcast fashion, but likes to sing without to complete her schooling which took her until she was sixteen.Time went it sometimes. on and still she had never been to London.

He, having a broadcast at the B.B.C. to fulfil, asked Kitty if she would sing a couple of vocal refrains for him.She jumped at the chance. Kitty doesn't get much time to herself now she is touring the In due course the broadcast was given. Charles Brewer (who is never country. But here is an exclusive snap of her at home ... en very slow where a good singer is concerned) told Kitty he would like her to a chilly February morning ! leave her address as he might possibly consider her for another time.She left him, wondering whether she would ever hear from him again.About two months later she received a contract for a five-minute broadcast in a variety programme.So she came up to London with the idea of returning that night to Manchester. The variety transmission came on at dinner -time.Henry Hall was having his dinner at home for once in a way, and he heard it.He got up from the dinner table and rang up the B.B.C., telling whoever answered the 'phone that he wanted to speak to the singer. As Kitty was about to leave, a paper was handed to her and she was asked to go to the 'phone.The voice at the other end said, "Is that Miss Kitty Masters?Oh, I want to ask you if you are returning to Manchester to -night." Kitty cheerfully lied, thinking it would be better not to return.So she said No.(True, because she had decided not to !) "Well," said the voice, "I should like to have a few words with you to -morrow." "Thank you," said Kitty, politely, "but who are you ? " "Henry Hall." The B.B.C. left the perpendicular for Kitty, who nearly broadcast her heart -heats over the 'phone then and there.And so she met Henry Hall the very next day. She did not return to Manchester that week-indeed,figuratively speaking, she never returned th"re at all, for a contract was made, and forthwith she became Henry Hall's lad: vocalist. At the audition Henry sat in the listening room where he could see Kitty through a window and also where she could see him.At the end of the RADIO PICTORIAL February 8,1935 Netuonionge" Sadie coimip

But such protests are familiar and profitless. The Brent murder case will always be regarded as one of the triumphs of Pitting's career. Yet he continually protests that it was the merest luck that handed him the clue to the most diabolically ingenious murder of the radio age. "You see," he is never tired of explaining to VERNON'Scurious friends, "when I heard the wireless set working, I realised that no bullet could have entered the loudspeaker.

The WOMAN LISTENE WHI-fEASMILK vi\m.A551M)

This week JANE CARR tells you the way in which the too -oilyskincan be reformed to true loveliness

MOST women's skins are too oily or too dry.If they tend to be oily, it means that the glands do too much work and allow the oil to penetrate the pores of the skin. The danger of this is thatthepores become clogged, become enlarged, and lead to black- heads or worse ills. If your skin is greasy, use plenty of soap-a mild complexion one-because there is nothing so good for drying up a damp complexion. There are also greaseless liquid cleansers which you can use if you prefer.

It is easy to understand why Shredded Wheat holds a supreme and unassailable place as a health -food. Wheat is its whole and sole in- gredient. The sun -ripened berries, so rich in those vital elements that nourish, sustain and fortify the system, are cleansed and steam - cooked and then subjected to the unique process of shredding. Thus their precious goodness is distributed evenly throughout the shreds. This makes Shredded Wheat not only 100% nourishing, but 100% digestible.Its conversion into robust energy and resistance is rapid and it is this quality which is needed in winter.There's no food like wheat-you get it in its finest and most delicious form in Shredded Wheat.
