RADICALLY
NEW
RADIO c
0 -DAY, after months of test-
ing and months of proving,
Westinghouse invites you to
inspect Radio's newest, per-
fected creation — Columaire
"8" —the most significant radio L;nnottnCernent
in four years.
Leave behind you all preconceived ideas
of radio design. Columaire "8" does not
look like any radio youhaveever seen be-
fore. At first glance you will not see any
speaker, tuning controls or selector dial.
These important features are all there of
course, but obviously placed for the great-
est efficiency and convenience.
The Columaire"8"presents the first and
only radio cabinet scientifically designed
to serve the purpose of radio repro-
duction. To embody the fun-
damental principle which dis-
tinguishes Columaire " 8 " from
all other radio receivers, it had
td be different.
The "column of air" principle
though entirely new to radio, is
old as, the hills. The great mas-
ters oP music have used it for
hundreds of years. It is the secret of
sweetness and purity in the violin, of
mellowness in the cello, of resonance in
the pipe -organ.
The "column of air ", vibrating within
every musical instrument, energizes and
developes the full range of musical har-
monics.
Now in a Radio Receiver for the
first time Westinghouse adapts this
principle for radio reproduction,
thereby producing tonal qualities
unique in beauty, magnificent in
resonance and amazing in fidelity.
With this radical innovation
come other improvements scarcely
less surprising.
Columaire is up-to-the-minute—
modem as the ninety story sky-
scraper. Columaire brings re-
freshing beauty—richness of
substance as well as sound—that
harmonizes with any setting.
HARVEY ROBB
Organpit. Royal York Hotel
Toronto, says
"I think the application of the
Column of Air prinCipleisadc-
,,,led step forward in the true
reproduction of music by radio"

It is more conveniently placed, easier to
handle, more satisfactory to operate than
the old-style receivers it supersedes.
It is equipped with either an electric or
eight-day clock as you require ---affording
a double utility in the home.
It is a superheterodyne of amaz-
ing power—quiet yet sensitive to
the weakest signals. It has extra-
ordinary volume yet cross talk and
interference between wave bands
is eliminated.
It establishes new meaning for
" radio value low price is its
clinching appeal.
Be one of the first to enjoy this
marvelous new creation.
Hear for yourself its magnificent
range of tone. See for yourself its
new, dynamic beauty. Secure for yourself
its amazing performance, its unmatched
utility and its outstanding value.
'We are proudly waiting to show you
Columaire ". 8 "—the receiver that is re-
making radio history.

Since the American species a hum -
man being absorbs the hourly inter-
est of every Russian neighbor, and
balconies and courtyards are usually
crowded with interested observers of
thp doings in foreigners' 'kitchens, you
ary,e, faced with the prospect of per,'
forming your ablutions under the
watchful eyes of an attentive audience
of both sexes, or deciding that you do
not choose to bathe. Of course, you
do not choose.
But you give much thought to"the
bath situation, and soon you clap your
hands gleefully. You will hare a
sponge bath in your rodm every morn-
ing, a la garbage can. But peace of
mind is not for long. You have over-
looked the fact that ice boxes are not
to be had, and that when the ther-
mometer begins flirting around ninety-
eight in the shade, something must 'be
done about the left -over meat.
The servant solves the preservation
of food problem by the half filling
the now useless bathtub with 'cold wa-
ter and sinking the garbage can into
it, weighed down with many pottery
vessels containing the left -overs. All
of which meets with your approval;
but what about a receptacle for your
morning bath?
Portunately4 at the psychological
moment, the government permits the
domestic consumption of galvanized
tubs and water buckets.
But speedily the minature tub bath
becomes tiresome. In the first place,
a bath always seems to assume the
proportions of a major event in the
household. As the days becomehot-
ter and hotter, the mind begins to be
wtoartmeresnted by thoughts of clear, cool
And so dawns the day when the
American woman, fortified by the
prsence of an equally daring friend,
invades a Russian public bath for the
first time. Now it seems that it is a
Soviet law that no bathing suits are
to be worn in Russian swimming
pools. One must be very clean before
one steps into a Russian pool—so
dean in fact, that one must first pass
an ekarainatery inspection—and how,
pray, is one to inspect if the subject
wears a bathing suit?
The pool is of regulation size, and
the water is absolutely clean. Over-
head is a large balcony, which speed-
ily fills with naked feminine specta-
tors who are curious to see how the
Amerikankas swim. We had the pool
to ourselves until we were suddenly
joined by two of the three attendants
out in the dressing room who had
baffled our attempts to wear swim-
ming suits.
We hastily dressed and departed.
It was our first—and last—appear-
ance!
Public shower baths, or douches as
they are called, are to be found in the
large parks which are among 'the
most attractive features of modern
Russian cities. There was a brand-
new, very clean douche in a park
near our apartment and, after the
American .colony discovered it, it was.
the customary practice to patronize it
at an hour that was ascertained to
be out of favor with the native popu-
lation.
One day, like'a bolt from the blue,
the wife of an American engineer was
forcibly ejected from her shower by
the male manager of the douche and
two female attendants, because site
was using soap. Why was soap bar-
red from Soviet showers? The reas-
on advanced was that "the use of soap
will block the pipes of Russian drains.
However, because of the fact that it.
is a commodity of which there is a
continual shortage (Russian soap is
being sold abroad) one might almost
hazard the guess that the govern-
ment is mercifully trying to assist
the .public to bear it With greater
fortitude by instituting a law forbid-
ding the use of soap in Soviet shower
