ETHER CONGESTION

NW YORK AND CHICAGO. In New York City itself there are twenty-three broadcast _ stations. A. United States Associated Press message from New York, dated March 10, says: "Reception congestion that confronts no other listening section with such am avalanche of music and speech, has brought to the radio public of this metropolitan area a problem that bids fair to be a sticker. Stations in New York are nearly as numerous as taxicabs on Broadway and are just as difficult to dodge. "Chicago (with 38 broadcast stations) often brags of the number of its transmitting stations, but the New Yorker has very little to say in that respect. He simply tunes in and forgets the rest of the radios in United States for the simple reason there is nothing els, to do."
