cago During Trading Hours
Announced—\&ill Start
Today.
^'hiragn, .Tan. 11.—The Chicago
hoard of trade today purchased the
big radio broadcasting station
“WDII\” located on top of the Drake
hotel, and Friday will begin sending

The standard 360 meter wave length j

The board of trade has furnished !
quotations to a loeal broadcasting sta- I
lion for several months, but tinder
the new plan will give a much more
extended service to farmers through
out the middle west. At a dinner
tonight, celebrating the acquisition of
the station, Robert McDougal, former
president of the board, said:
“In this manner we shall give to
th>' entire radio public offiral prices
and other valuable Information In
connection with all commodities
handled through the board of trade,
thus serving the purpose from the
farmer to the consumer. We hope to
broaden our acquaintance and demon
strate our proclamation that the Chi
cago board of trade is an open book
that he who runs may read and that
prices are not mnde behind closed
doors and available only to the few.
“Nothing but authoritative facts
and figures will be broadcast on the
commercial side, but we hope to enter
the more human side of life thruogh
concerts, as well as Instructive ad
dresses."
Venus to Be Dark as Moon
Hides View from Earth
Cambridge, Mass., Jan. 12.—Har
vard astronomers made arrangements
today for observations of the darken
ing of Venus tomorrow morning
when the moon will owing between
that planet and the earth. This oc
eultation will be visible in most of
the country.
For those in Jacksonville, New
Orleans and Chicago it will begin
about 5 a. m.l in Denver an hour ear
Her, in Washington at 6:30, New
York at 6:45 and here nbout 7*a. m.
San Francisco will see nothing of the
spectacle which will take place below
the horizon there. The process of
occultatlon will take from a few min
utes to a little more than an hour to
the point of observation. Venus nn.l
the moon now are almost at their
nearest to the earth, atid Venus is
only a fortnight removed from the
period of its greatest brilliancy.
As seen through a telescope the
eastern sky will sl^ow two thin
crescents in conjunction, that of the
moon nearest the earth. To the un
aided eye Venus will appear to hang
like a bright spot on the moon, first
on the eastern limb of the crescent,
and as It emerges, In shining contrast
with the darkened limb.
