W. A. MENNIE RETURNS TO NEW YORK.
W. A. Mennie, now managing the business of the
Standard Pneumatic Action Company, has recently
returned to New York from an extended business
trip through the larger cities of the middle w r est. He
reports business conditions in that section of the
country as good, and slowly growing better. The
general consensus of opinion, Mr. Mennie found, was
that business improvement will gather greater mo-
mentum after election.
PHILIPPINE MAHOGANY.
There are 64,800 square miles of forest on the
Philippine Islands. Nearly all belong to the United
States. There is enough of this timber to cover all
Illinois with virgin growth, and then Massachusetts
besides. Of mahogany alone there is something like
one hundred and ninety billion feet.

A SHOW WINDOW STUDIO
Radio Corporation of America Explains Methods of
Broadcasting a Musical Program.
The Radio Corporation of America, New York
City, operators of Station WJZ, undertook a novel
publicity stunt, via the aerial route, last Monday
afternoon. The attractive and spacious windows of
the Aeolian Co., in Aeolian Hall, on West Forty-
second street, were divided into three sections. One
partition enclosed a studio, another showed the
broadcasting artist at the microphone, and the third
depicted a room in which the mechanical apparatus
is stored, and from where the programs are sent off
into space.
The feature selected to thrill the thousands who
congregated in the vast area near the New York
Public Library was Ben Selvin's Orchestra, which
combination performs nightly at the famous Wood-
manster Inn, on the Pelham Parkway road. Mr.
Selvin chose "Honolou," "Shanghai Shuffle," and
'"One Stolen Kiss," all published by the new publish-
ing firm, the Gene Rodemich Music Publishing Cor-
poration, of New York and St. Louis.
A radio service department has been added by the
Boggs & Buhl Department Store, Pittsburgh, Pa.
