## P.03 - Editorial

WIRELES WEEKLY VOL. 11. No. 22. FRIDAY, 23rd MARCH, 1928. Criticism, Selfish and Otherwise EVER since the commencement of wireless broadcasting criticism of some kind or other has been directed against every broadcasting station the world over. Much has been well-intentioned, some ill-intentioned, and most of it positively selfish. What I mean is that the critic usually approaches things from his own individual point of view and consequently it behoves those responsible for the broadcasting services not to take him over seriously, seeing that they have to please many hundreds of thousands of other listeners of varying tastes. However, the critic who is kindly and constructively disposed is always heeded by enterprising broadcasters, for from him many hints are gleaned, but, unfortunately, this class of critic is all too rare. It is only by comprehensive study of average tastes and by psychological research that the broadcasting companies can gauge the requirements of listeners. The absolute futility of pleasing everyone at any one time is recognised by even the most unreasonable. It is not in human nature to do so, and it is the broadcasters’ duty, therefore, to please as many as possible, as long as possible, : and everybody as much as possible. Heigho! do you envy them the task? That 3LO, Melbourne, succeeds remarkably well in their attempt in this direction is evidenced by the unprecedented popularity of their services, and also by the favorable financial position of broadcasting in Victoria. No proof could be more conclusive, and no answer to adverse criticism more emphatic. Of course, it is only natural that at some time or other during the 12 hours daily broadcasting by 3LO every listener would, if he or she listened-in the whole of the time, find something that failed to please; but, who wants to listen-in for 12 hours a day, even if time permitted? In carefully analysing the programmes I find that, they are arranged so that every reasonably-minded and normal listener-in is well catered for. I have before me a resume of recent newspaper letters and critiques and this shows conclusively that if the broadcasting authorities deleted from the programmes the items selfishly objected to by certain critics there would be nothing left to broadcast. One objects to jazz, another to church services, some to sporting items and others to bands, community singing, classical music, theatres, talks and so on right through the whole gamut of broadcasting. Verily we should say one to the other, “Save us from ourselves.”

## P.04 - Catching Up with the Wireless World

Catching Up with the Wireless World. By R. E. CORDER. A COMPLETE receiving set in a band ring is being marketed in America, priced at 5/-. Headphones are unnecessary. DURING 1927, 200,000 licenses were issued in Canada, which brings the total of licensed listeners in that country up to 1,000,000. AILSA CRAIG, the island rock at the mouth of the River Clyde, England, where most of the good curling stones come from, is to be equipped with a transmitter and receiver. Apart from the keepers of the lighthouse, the only other occupants are myriads of sea birds. DURING the last few weeks, reception has not been too good owing to weather conditions. The first man to find a reliable method of forecasting reception conditions, particularly with regard to the shorter waves, will be doing what is probably the greatest service since De Forest added the grid to the valve. A RADIO MESSAGE received by the steamer Ruapehu, off Pitcairn Island, from the freighter Westmoreland, asked for medical assistance for a cadet who was seriously ill with appendicitis. An eight-hour voyage was necessary before Doctor Hudson, a passenger on the former boat, reached the Westmoreland, and performed a successful operation, despite heavy seas. THE NUMBER of licensed listeners in Germany reached 2,000,000 on December 15th, 1927. The number at the end of September was 1,757,683, and the increase which is partly due to the removal of the Inter-Allied restrictions in the Rhine and Ruhr districts and the opening of the Rhineland high-power station at Langenberg has exceeded expectations. A further rise in the license fee, now 24 marks, will, it is thought, be necessary, and it is even possible that later on the amount of the fee may be reduced. “I’M GOING out to-night, dear,” said father. Mother lookei across at him sternly. “One dial control,” murmured father to himself as he changed his mind about that appointment; WMHA, the New York station, is owned by Troop 707 of the Boy Scouts’ Association, of Washington Heights. The wave length is 230 metres, and a power of 30 watts is used. THE NEW radio inspector meant business. “Show me your licence,” he demanded of the washerwoman. “I ain’t got no car,” she said; “what d’yer take me for?” “Don’t twaddle with me, woman,” said the inspector, haughtily; “where’s your wireless licence?” “Me? I ain’t got no wireless; I ain’t a millionaire, y’know!” “What’s that aerial for then?” he queried artfully. “Aerial?” she replied, scornfully, “that’s me blinkin’ washin’ line!” ANOTHER AIR TRAGEDY. By “Mintie.” There once was a 3LO fellow, Who sang in a voice sweet and mellow; By a tragedy strange, He fell over his range, And they hurried him home in a Yellow. FRANCE IS to have a Communist broadcasting station. M. Vaillent Couteurier, Communist Deputy, is the donor of the station, which is to known as the Red Star. A NEW type of valve has been invented by H. J. Round, England, which has the grid element wound outside the valve, which resembles a cotton reel. A LADY ORGANIST applying for a broadcasting contract in America said she knew 8000 tunes by heart. The lady in question also offered to play continuously for 24 hours without a break, and with no repeated numbers. ALMOST every circuit in American radio publication is now arranged for A.C. power for plate, filament, and grid voltage. Dr. Lee Forest commented recently that Australia and Great Britain have not progressed as rapidly in radio as America, but we have not reached our peak yet. SCIENCE has turned a curious eye on the effect of the northern lights on radio transmission, and first steps have been taken by the National Research Council of Canada to determine just what is the effect. Following a meeting held in Ontario of the Associated Committee on Physics and Engineering of the Council, research work has been undertaken. It is known that conditions in the upper atmosphere have a very marked effect upon the transmission of messages by radio. * BROADCASTING stations in America are endeavoring to do away with the numerical call sign and jumble of letters, suggesting that a name would be more suitable. The argument is that if ships were identified same as broadcasting stations, we should need a reference library if our friend told us he would be sailing for Great Britain on the 465,958,857. Certainly ships have license nuimJbers, but they have names also, and they are known and recognised by their names. ALARM. Fiction about radio seldom interests radio enthusiasts. Perhaps it is because listeners live in an atmosphere of reality; pei'haps it is because they generally know more about the subject than the author. The exception is the short story, ALARM! in the March issue of “RADIO.” Illustrated in two colors by Townshend, it is the best thing of its kind yet published in Australia. You must read it.

## P.05 - Radio Exhibition

Wednesday to Friday Week you must not miss visiting this year's Radio Exhibition— the largest yet organised here. You will see every latest development of the science there from new receivers and loudspeakers to screened grid valves. Wednesday, Ivfarch 21, the greatest Radio and Electrical Exhibition yet held in this State is to start. This Exhibition has grown to such an extent in the past three years that the committee has had to take both the Great Hall and the Lower Hall of the Sydney Town Hall to stage the display. Radio has become such a popular part of the average individual’s existence that there are now in New South Wales alone probably more than 100,000 receiving sets in action, it not on every day or night in the week, at least occasionally. Here, at the Town Hall, are to be seen the latest models, the most advanced receivers and accessories, each in competition with the other. Every radio manufacturer watches jealously the products of his rivals in business, and at the annual exhibition the public. in an two, can gauge for themselves which meet their requirements best. There are many attractions at this Exhibition. The amateur set builders, who are competing with each other, are putting up some remarkable exhibits, and, doubtless, to this section of the Exhibition a very large proportion of visitors will be drawn two most striking displays are the Electric Home and the Public Authorities exhibit. The Electric Home {? a . fall^ lze bungalow cottage, built %* xton and Sons, on the floor of the Town Hall. It is being equipped with electrical labor-saving devices of many kinds—electric cleaner, cooking range, washing machine, bath-heater, electric iron, electric kettle, electric jugs, and so on— appliances which have turned the life of many a housewife from drudgerv to comfort. 3 b i S Home is no mere model, but the type of bungalow in which hundreds of thousands of every-day citizens live. Incidentally, it. has no chimney—none is needed in an electric home—a fact means a saving of from £5O to building. The exhibit of the Public Authorities—Railways and Tramways, Public Works* University, and Institution of Engineers is expected to create something of a sensation. An electric railway carriage has been built upon rails and sleepers in the Lower Hall (the floor of the upper hall would never have carried it), and visitors may see for themselves Just how the electric current works the train. A collection of signalling gear has also been installed, and a couple of model trains show how the signals work for themselves, n * ~ . +• ° ne I the features of the Exhibition will be available to the general Han*’ S*" the k° W ” 1“ > These will be heard, day and night, se . nd j? lg ' out Programmes of music, re- PL"? 11 * - all . and sundry that the Ex ' n£ht°V S “ pr ° gl ? ss - , On a clear mUes 6 h6ard ° Ver y ‘ There are many owners of broad-cast receivers who care nothing about the scientific side of their hobby. They keep a radio set in the house just as others keep a piano-player simply for what it brings them. They are interested in the personalities of the artists who, from the broadcasting stations, supply daily and nightly programmes. For these broadcasting stations 2FC and 2BL have arranged to give a programme each afternoon and evening, from the platform of the Town Hall. The modest admission fee of one shilling (children half price, and free on Saturday afternoons, if accompanied by adults), covers not only the Exhibition, but a concert programme which could hardly be excelled in Australia. The broadcasting stations have saved up their best artists, and the concert programmes from the Exhibition will certainly be a very great draw. And those who are not at the Exhibition have simply to tune in their receivers, and hear it in their own homes. The Radio and Electrical Exhibition will be open continuously, from J; to 10 P-m., from March 21 to 01, and all the indications are that the attendances will break all records. It is too early yet to disclose what each exhibitor is preparing for his stand. That the Exhibition will completely outclass its predecessors is certain, and the fact that the committee has arranged with Mr. Augustas Aley, architect, for uniformity of stands and signwriting, and has let one contract for the erection of all the stands, indicates that the Exhibition will present a symmetry of appearance which will make a wonderful effect on visitors. All the floor space is now booked, except for a space which has been retained for seating accommodation. At the moment of writing, however, further inquiries are being made, and’ it seems likely that the committee will have to sell the last inch of space that can be used for an exhibit. Following are the exhibitors:—
* Harringtons.
* Lawrence and Hanson (radio).
* Bennett and Wood.

Numbers of clubs and individual enthusiasts have informed the organiser that they are working hard on their exhibits, and the Radio Transmitters League will have a transmitting set in operation. Radio dealers are again reminded to use their influence to induce the “hams” to prepare an exhibit. Following is the prize list:— 1. Best amateur designed and built short-wave receiver, covering the band from 10 to 80 metres, and suitable for reception of both international telegraphy and telephony: Ist prize, £4/4/; 2nd prize, £l/1/. 2. Best flexible lower-power trans-l mitter, covering amateur wave band: Ist prize, £7/7/; 2nd prize, £3/3/. 1 3. Best amateur designed end constructed piece pf radio apparatus, submitted by an amateur radio organisation ; limited to one entry from each competing organisation. Prize: Cup, valued at £lO, presented by “Wireless Weekly.” 4. Best home-constructed piece of apparatus, other than a complete transmitter -or receiver, submitted by an individual: Ist prize, £3/3/; 2nd prize, £l/1/. 5. Most novel crystal set: Ist prize, £2/2/; 2nd prize, 10/6. 6. Most novel valve set: Ist prize, £3/3/; 2nd prize, £l/1/. The committee retains £7/7/, for special prizes, and Mr. A. Carter offers as a special prize a set of Cossor valves, to be awarded as the judges decide in section (1) or (6). CONDITIONS. For the purpose of these competitions, an amateur is defined as any person who is not considered by the committee to be the proprietor of a radio establishment, or who, on December 1, was not the holder of a dealer’s license. All exhibits shall be bona-fide work of the competitor in whose name they are entered. All exhibits shall be in the hands of the Exhibition Committee of Control by 4 p.m. on Monday, March 19, 1928, at a place to be announced. No exhibit shall be removed from the hall until the conclusion of the Exhibition. A receipt shall be given to each competitor when he hands in his exhibit, and exhibits shall be returned only on surrender of receipt. The decision of the judges, and any- ruling of the Committee of Control, shall be final. AUGUSTUS ALEV. M.I.A. ARCHITECT FOR EXHIBITION.

The editor assumes no responsibility for statements made by readers and Published on this page, as opinions of correspondents do not represent our editorial Policies or beliefs. Anonymous letters are not considered. , A.W.P. AND L.L. H Dear Sir, —Apropos the experience | of W., Young (“W.W.”, 17/2A28) ['and the Listeners’ League, jr About three or four months ago, I t heard of the League, and being de- |'.sirous of helping in any movement I for the benefit of listeners, went to la lot of trouble to ascertain the sec- iretary’s address. 2FC referred me Itpthe Radio Broadcast Bureau. Thdy jvery kindly supplied the address, and H wrote asking for particulars. Months went by, until last week I I received a printed slip, bearing an lad. for batteries, giving object find Membership fee, and address. Not I even a word of explanation for the I long wait. k However, my enthusiasm having (cooled by the long wait, I’ll keep the 12/6, and put it towards the price of II new valve. Yours, etc., A. W. PATTERSON. P’Punchbowl. Im, * * * ' | MORE ENTERTAINERS. Dear Sir, —Don’t you think it is time we had a change of programme? I am, like the others, complaining of too much singing, and I think it is > over the odds to have to listen to five records running, and some of them played over again; also request numbers. I What about putting on more en- | tertafners and less of picture show music, as there is nothing in listening to a lot of laughing ? I don’t wonder people get tired of wireless. One time we had theatre acts from 2BL Studio. All my friends say they pi enjoyed them; but even they are taken off. I suppose the fights are put on instead. We know they can- not please everybody, but it is time they gave us better programmes than what they give us at present. | Another bad practice is to stop music, etc., to give out race results, etc. It looks like if wireless is only for the sporting class. I Where are the minstrel bands and I think they will have to have a change soon, or they will find they are talking to the air. Yours, etc., M. NORTON. I Leichhardt. SMOKE CLOUDS. Dear Sir, —To quote a correspondent in your last issue: “According to these traditions (sc. ‘our British traditions’ from previous sentence), when a man had sunk to the vilest depths (as Rev. R. B. S. Hammond’s work clearly shows) and recaptures all that he hud lost, and more through Divine intervention—(Query: If ‘Divine intervention’ does the trick, why bother about the rev. gentleman)—and realises that there are others in a .position as bad as he was, and further realises that he can be the means of uplifting some, surely under heaven it is no crime to try and do so.” The italics are mine. 7 Further Comment"is* superfluous. It is obvious that Mr. Moon has wandered as far from the British traditions as the object of his “savage indignation.” In Mr. Moon’s case, however, it was in a praiseworthy endeavor to despatch a sentence which had gradually assumed the sinuous complexities of Laocoon’s serpent, and which was threatening, to assimilate him. Being, as Mb'. Moon, correctly suspicious, unblessed with a Rudyard Kipling _ cum playing-fields of Eton upbringing, I am forced, in all fairness, to add that logical presentation of ideas is essential to debate. Also, "being rather more tickled by my sobriquet than I am ashamed of my perversities, I must continue to veil my identity in a cloud of tobacco-smoke. Yours, etc., THREE CASTLES. Darlinghurst. CAPPOS AGAIN. Dear Sir, —As the letter by “Three Castles,” which Mr. Spencer O. G. Moon reviews in your issue of 2nd March, was in support of mine, in an effort to improve Sunday programmes, I trust you will find space for the “Capstan” again. Mr. Moon will, no doubt, make the same suggestion to “Capstan” as he did to “Three Castles” in the matter of a nom-de-plume. This latter I regard as a very weak point in an otherwise instructive letter, but perhaps Mr. Moon is a non-smoker. Assuming that Mr. Moon’s figures are correct (and he appears to be a mathematician of no little skill), we have indeed taken a great step forward since the days of, say, a couple of years ago. I don’t know definitely if Mr. Moon was endeavoring to prove that the. B.C. companies have realised that the general public demand something more than the noises produced in churches, and are gradually improving their Sunday programmes, but it appears to me that, if such was his motive, he has adequately proved his case. Progress must be the watchword of the successful B.C. company, and it is of interest to note here that only lately 3LO have commenced a series of recitals of the world s most famous records during Sunday afternoon. Now, I venture to say that 3LO has made a bigger effort than any other Australian station , to accurately gauge the wishes of listeners, and the fact that they have improved their Sunday programmes in this manner indicates the progress made, not by 3LO alone, but by the listening public also. 3LO are making great strides In cultivating in their listeners the due appreciation of the world’s best music on all days of the week, and there is a very noticeable improvement in many other stations, and if this upward trend is continued, Mr. Moon, ere long, will be able to produce a schedule showing a still greater improvement in Sunday programmes. Yours, etc., j CAPSTAN. I Darlington Point. AN ARCHBISHOR ON BROADCASTING. Have you been following the Safety Valve controversy on Sunday 'programmes? Yes! Then you will be interested to read Archbishop Lee’s ideas about religious broadcasting, in the March issue of “RADIO” Just a short article, from the eminent Melbourne ecclesiastic. Also a statement by Archbishop Wright, of Sydney.
FIFTY MILLION. Dear Sir, —Any household—any morning—with a set. Mum: “Seven o’clock, George; get up at once.” George: “S’only ten to; clock’s fast.” Mum: “Excuse me, I just heard the G.P.O. on the wireless; it’s s-e-v-e-n. Now, Ethel, put down those earphones, and get dressed.” Ethel (excitedly): “Mum, mum, he’s back—Mr. Halbert’s back—hoo- ray.” Mum: “Well, I never; I’m glad. I thought he’d gone to Melbourne, or somewhere.” Flapper Daughter: “Oo! how thril- ling to think he is back again. Per- haps he’s been sick.” Schoolboy Jack: “Huh! been to a
* nebriates’ home, more like it. ‘Mike’
said they drink whisky, those an- nouncers.” George the Knut: “Cut it out; don’t you know “Mike” only pulls legs 7 Why, if he was serious, they could have him up for libel.” Dad (putting down earphones): “How much lower are those shares going to fall, I wonder; wish to the devil I’d sold out long ago.” Mum: “Oh, is that the honeyman? Good morning, one pound of honey, please. What? Tuppence more than last week. I’ll have you know that the wholesale price is exactly the same this week, for I heard it over the wireless. What? I should think you have made a mistake. Thank heaven for Mr. Marconi; he’s saved me many a penny. Now, then, Dad, don’t go without your umbrella.” Dad: “Why, there’s not a cloud in the sky.” Mum: “Uncle Bas says rain prophesied before mid-day.” To schoolboy Jack: “Will you go to school? Perhaps you would like your ’phones glued to your ears.” 5.8. J.: “Oh, but, Mum, I know all of “‘Fifty Million Frenchmen” except the last verse.” (Spank spank.) 5.8. J.: “Ooh! crumbs, you can hit, Mum; and now they’ve closed down, and I’ve missed it; talk about a nark.” Mum: “Thank goodness, he’s gone; and now I c&n get those sweet peas in without delay. Mr. Lockley says I’ll be a ‘gonner’ if I don’t.” Oh, good morning. An "inspector? “Oh, yes, certainly, we’ve got our license; it will be up next month. Going to renew it? Well, I should say so; we can go without lots of things, but will never be without our wireless set.” “Good morning.” Yours, etc., Greenwich. ROSTAND. ♦ MORSE KEY. The Morse message on the opposite page reads: —There will be a special issue of “Radio” for March. Watch out for our Grand Exhibition Number. BOTH SIDES. Dear Sir, —In reference to the discussion that is now being carried on, in the “Safety Valve,” where listeners-in are discussing the advantages or disadvantages of too much church on Sundays, I would like to add my voice to the appeal of anti-church-goer. Perhaps I should not put that down in such a crude fashion, because, perhaps, there are plenty of church-goers who do not want it “canned,” but who still go to their churches on Sundays. There, in that word “canned,” lies my whole contention in regard to broadcast sermons. I wish to maintain that broadcast services do not, and never will, have the spiritual meaning that the sermons themselves would have if delivered in a House of God. It is only the living personality of the minister that can really feed the soul. To those who advocate broadcast services, I would like to ask them a question Do you feel the same after a broadcast service as you do when you come out of a church? Do you feel the same spiritual upliftment? No, definitely no. How anyone could seems to me to be amazing. How could you feel the same, when, in the general course of events, the service is listened to in an armchair, or some other comfortable seat? Sometimes you smoke —I know I do — and all around you cannot take the same interest, or give the reverence that a spiritual matter deserves. If a thing is worth doing, it is worth doing well; so here I say, and always will say, that if you wantchurch, go to church, by all means, but do not try to be a kill-joy. There are other people who have sets, besides you, who are not interested in church services. Still, for the cake of invalids, and those folks who are right out in the backblocks, and who never get a chance to go to church, I would like to advocate, say, one church service from each main station. What I am against are the class who, before broadcasting started, would only go to church once on Sundays, but now advocate for religious services from dawn to dark every Sunday from the broadcasting stations. Perhaps the stations are to blame, more than anyone. The continual services on a Sunday wears away one’s patience, as continual dripping of water wears away the stone. If there is any more harm in listening to a little light music on a Sunday than in going surfing, or playing tennis, or golf, then I stand to be corrected. 2JW and 2UE, although only B class stations, have stepped out from ti e more conservative class, and have proved that light music is liked and appreciated on Sundays. It is time that the A class stations woke up. One can quite agree with the P.M.G., when he states that the programmes are not up to the mark. Sundays, to these stations, seems to be a day when they can put over anything without getting justified complaints. Thank goodness that the great majority of sane listeners are beginning to wake up, and demand a little return for their hard-earned license money. Not only Sunday programmes. but the whole week of entertainment from the A class stations leaves much to be desired. Time was when one could have sat down to one’s set at night with a reasonable chance of being entertained. But now even the station who never let us down, i.e., 3LO, seems to find pleasure in giving us rotten programmes. Talks, then some more talks, then few more talks, by way of a change. The whole thing through seems to me to be a case of indirect advertising. What is becoming of our money that we pay in so regularly a question that may seem embarrasing for some of these stations to answer. I do not wish to commit myself in any way, but I think that even for the stations themselves, it y;ould be better if the stations could issue some sort of a monthly account, so that the listeners could see just where their money was going. In the meantime, there is the present question of church all day Sunday; church half of Sunday; or not church at all on Sunday. The most agreeable way, I really think, that this could be settled on both hands, would be to compromise, by letting each station put over one service each Sunday. The other stations, in the meantime, while not putting over absolute jazz, could easily enough find plenty of other music, besides sacred songs, that we would find entertaining. I would welcome reports from other listeners in regard to my statements. It is, after all, only by controversy that we can get to the bottom of things, and get every one satisfied. Before I close, I would like to thank the gentleman who first brought this interesting discussion to light, and would like to commend those who have taken what I consider as the only sane view of the matter, and who advocate church services in moderation. Yours, etc., “FAIR GO.” Stanmore. THE SPIRIT OF RADIO. Watch for the spedial cover of the March issue of “RADIO” on the bookstalls this week. It is an attempt to define the Spirit of Radio. It is the head of a strange woman, yet as different from the 'usual type of pretty-girl cover as you could imagine. It has a queer mystic quality truly of Radio.

## P.09 - Is Your Letter Here?

Is Your Letter Here ? Recent Correspondence at 2FC and 2BL 2FC always have a large mail from U.S.A., and busy typewriters are going for days after their receipt, Germany and Holland also have interested listeners to 2FC, and in the former country lives Karl Nister, a regular correspondent. It is noteworthy to remark on the exceptional good English of some of 2FC’s foreign correspondents, and though sometimes letters from Japan, Germany, France, Holland, and other foreign countries are written most quaintly; as a general rule, the English rivals that of many of our own countrymen. Yet it is surprising to find that grammatical and spelling errors are prevalent in American letters in the majority of cases. Nearly every letter received from that country has several bad spelling errors, apart from Americanisms. On the whole, foreigners are much more careful about their English. They are very careful about the use of capitals, and endeavor to write their letters in the most interesting manner possible, whereas our American cousins do just the opposite. American Stations Our Call Signs. A letter just received by 2FC from one of their regular listeners in U.S.A. reads: “On January 22nd between II and 12 p.m. Central Standard time I heard your station very plainly. I have heard you on several occasions before, and never could get tuned in just right. Can it be that some of our stations are using your call letters and trying to fool the public ? “Telling friends about my reception, and advising wireless papers only brings me the ‘Hee Haw,’ but if there is any chance of my having heard you at that hour, I hope to be able to substantiate my claims if you would kindly let me know.” There is no error about the reception of 2FC in America, each mail from that country bringing hosts of letters for 2FC, most of which describe fully the programme most accurately. The Prodigal Son. Many letters are received by 2FC from mothers whose sons have been lost in wide Australia, and often relatives request 2FC to make enquiries regarding some long lost brother, sister, aunt, great grandmother, etc., etc., but it is impossible to accede to these requests unless the information and particulars come direct from the police. The following letter received from Mr. George Booth, of Chicago, is an example of this type:— “Gentlemen, —My brother, Arthur Pearson Booth, left Melbourne a little more than a year ago for Sydney, but we have no information as to whether he ever got there. Naturally his relatives, widowed mother, and sisters are very worried over his disappearance. The mother lives at Wingletye Lane, Hornchurch, Essex, England. “I wonder if it would be too much to ask you to broadcast the news and ask him to write to his mother at once, or for other people who know of him to communicate to you and thru’ you to his mother. I will be glad to defray any expenses involved. “He is about 38 years old, either slightly deaf, or fully so, served in France, Verdun, two years artillery, was shell shocked, and invalided home for some time, then went to Melbourne, where he lived at 18 Jolimont- street, Jolimont, Melbourne. He was an expert toolmaker and worked at Footscray, is about 5ft. Bin. high, about 150 1 b. weight, has a slight moustache, is rather retiring. “It is quite possible due to his experiences in the War and his affliction that he may have lost his identity for the time being. “Please do what you can in the matter, and ask other agencies to help A MORSE MESSAGE TO READERS. (For key, see opposite page.) if you know of any,—and advise his mother first if you get news of him. Yours very truly, GEORGE BOOTH. Though 2FC regret that in matters like this they cannot do anything, they request that readers who are aware of any such person as Arthur Pearson Booth would be good enough to correspond with Mrs. Booth in England immediately to alleviate her distress. Cow Robber Explains. Dear Sir,—A couple of nights back I heard “Mike” (the young rascal) skiting about the good programmes that 2FC puts on the air. Well they do, but I must say that a lot of it is “high-brow” and passes over the heads of “us waybacks” and “Cow robbers.” “Frinstance! Mr. Cochrane (may his elbow never weaken) says that Professor So and So will now play “Allegro tout Suite in a B flat” and some bloke sits down (or I suppose he does) and drags out some notes at the rate of about 60 hours a mile, and as my Crystal Set can only get 2FC (when it is on the air the others are drowned out). I have to listen in or wait for the next item. “Well, I like the other bloke to have his bit of pleasure, if that is what he calls it, but couldn’t you give us some more Banjo, Mandolin or Steel Guitar items ? I have heard people who claim to know, say that such music is “low class.” Well, if they heard Mr. Harrison White play “The Pilgrim’s Chorus” as we did from 2FC one night, I think they would alter their tune. How about at least 6 Banjo Mandolin, or Guitar items every night or four times a week? I am not greedy, and it needn’t be “Naughty Eyes” or “Nighty Nights” too often. “Also could you beg, order or request Mr. Chappie to treat us to a lot more solos, on the organ in the studio? I think it has a splendid tone, and is a treat to listen to. Such pieces as “The Lost Chord,” “Crossing the Bar,” “The Pilgrim’s March” and “The Grand March,” and hosts of others, that I’ll bet Mr. Chappie knows, would be very thankfully received and as often as you like. Well you thanked me once for what you termed the interest I took in your programmes, so I’m hoping you won’t be annoyed with this humble effort. Cheerio, Yours truly, , (Sgd). W. M. MARSHALL. P.S. The mosquitoes (Cripes! I nearly swore then, and me a Digger too) are bad round here and make it hard to listen in at times but still we struggle on. W. M. M. Penrith. STARS. There is an impressive list of contributors in the March issue of “RADIO.” Among the writers, there are, Brasso, M. C. Mahood, A. S. Cochranne, Ray Allsop, Don. B. Knock, U. R. Ellis, Archbishop Lees, Martin P. Rice, R. G. Walker, Gordon Bland, C. C. Faulkner. And the artists include: Jack Waring, G.K. Townshend, Unk. White, M. C. Mahood, Alex. Gurney, R. Whitmore.

## P.10 - Notes and News from 4QG

Notes and News from 4QG By the Station Correspondent “CHANGING OVER.” Most listeners who hear a big- broadcasting station announce that it has completed its transmission from some place or other, and that it is “changing-over” to some other point, hardly ever stop to realise with what smoothness the whole system works, and how quickly the changes are made. It is very seldom that any hitch in a change-over occurs, especially in a modern station such as 4QG. Some few nights ago, however, 4QG had a rather sad experience in its changes, and this experience resulted in at least one member of its staff having to do some strenuous work. The station was effecting transmission of a description of motor-cycle races, from the Davies Park Speedway, and, after finishing several races, announced that it would charge over to Lennon’s Ballroom. The change was made, quite in order, but the orchestra had just finished a strenuous dance, and had stopped for a “breather.” There was no music, so the engineer-in-charge switched back to the Speed-way, and asked for more motor-cycle races. The announcer there had had a heavy three-quarters of an hour, but he willingly obliged, and gave further descriptions. Then another change was made to the Ballroom, only to learn that supper was on, and still no music was ready. There w-as nothing to do but change back again to the Speedway, and a very dry-throated announcer was compelled to give more descriptions, meantime silently envying those w'ho w-ere more fortunately placed than he was, and w’ho were having supper at Lennon’s. It was with feelings of relief that he concluded his extra task, and announced “Changing-over” to the Studio. S.O.S. CALLS. Every listener has, at some time or other, heard a broadcasting station give some urgent call, requesting any listener knowing the w-hereabouts of some person or other to communicate with the police. Such calls are termed “SOS” messages at the broadcasting stations, and very few people realise the tremendous number of requests which are made for the inclusion of such messages- in the transmissions. At 4QG, never a day passes by without several such requests being made. The management of the station is at all times in a difficult position in regard to these requests. It does not, for one moment, desire to refuse a request, the granting of which w r ill mean much to the inquirer, but, at the same time, it cannot possibly grant the space to all requests made. Were it to do so, the programmes would become filled with such calls, and the license-holder would receive very little for his money. Station 4QG therefore takes as “SOS” calls only messages which are extremely urgent, and, even then, refers the inquirer- to the Police Department, and demands that the message be perused by police officers. It has been found necessary of late to quite firmly refuse to broadcast from 4QG inquiries for missing friends, unless these are submitted in the form of advertisements, to be included in the regular advertising sessions. The station does not desire to make money out of any personal misfortune, but of late it has been receiving so many requests to broadcast messages, to try and trace missing cousins, aunts, uncles, etc., many of whom were last heard of fifteen or twenty years ago, that in fairness to its customers —the listeners—it has been compelled to “put its foot down with a firm hand.” QUICK ACTION. Some idea of the quickness of thought and action required in the conducting of a large broadcasting station may be gained from the transmission of the civic reception to Bert.Hinkler, at Bundaberg, the night the famous airman arrived at that city. Extensive arrangements had previously been made to broadcast a description of his arrival, and these had been carried out very successfully. Prior to his arrival, however, it had been very difficult to secure definite information regarding functions, and it was not until the afternoon he landed in Bundaberg that it was definitely known that at such and such a time a welcome would be accorded to him in the Town Hall. A programme had been arranged at 4QG, but everything went by the board when Hinkler was considered. Trunk lines were busy, and messages flew backwards and forwards, between 4QG and Bundaberg. With lightning-like haste, the Town Hall was connected by landline, and portable gear was installed. Then, at a few minutes’ notice, the studio programme was cancelled, and a change-over was made to Bundaberg. By virtue of the extreme courtesy displayed by the Postmaster-General’s Department, and the excellent line facilities provided, the speeches came over with the utmost clarity. It was not known how long the welcome would take, and a jazz band was, therefore, kept in attendance at 4QG. Shortly after nine o’clock the welcome ended, and 4QG then changed back, and gave a programme of dance music from the studio until closing down time. It was not possible, of course, to warn the public beforehand of the Station’s intention to effect the relay, and many people who listened in at eight o’clock, expecting to hear dance music, were surprised to hear Hinkler’s welcome at Bundaberg. Judging by the countless congratulatory telegraph, telephone, and written congratulations the Station received, everybody was delighted with the last minute arrangements. 4QG’S RACING ANNOUNCER COINCIDES WITH JUDGE. The Welter Handicap of the Queensland Turf Club’s February meeting wa's responsible for one of the most thrilling finishes witnessed at Eagle Farm racecourse for some years, when Civetta, Perfect Night. Tigrinum, and Sheila’s Lad flashed past the winning-post almost in line with three others a short margin away. 4QG’S ANNOUNCER singled out Civetta and Perfect Night, but declared that the finish was so close that he could not separate them. When the numbers were hoisted, the judge declared a dead-heat between Civetta and Perfect Night! MISS THELMA CHAMPION, who has written several radio plays, which have been produced from time to time by Station 4QG, is now at work on a radio drama, “Rio Ferber on Trial,” which will be broadcast from the studio on the night of Friday, March 30th. The cast will be taken by a number of well-known artists, who have successfully played in previous interludes written by Miss Champion. “Rio Ferber on Trial” will be the first drama yet attempted by these players from 4QG. THERE SHE BLOWS! Most readers cherish recollections of the whaling yarns of their earlier years —Moby Dick and other novels, which still have a great attraction. But whaling has changed a great deal since those days. It has become a business, and in the March number of “ RADIO ,” R. G. Walker tells of how wireless is making that business an exact science. He tells of the Nielson Alonso, and the other whalers, operating south of Tasmania.

## P.11 - Bert Hinkler and Irene Vanbrugh

Bert Hinkler and Irene Vanbrugh Hear One Another Speak Through London Hinkler (newest Mike), standing before hie 'plane on his arrival. Determined that such small things as atmospherics and jamming were not to be allowed to interfere with residents in the British Isles hearing him speak, Bert Hinkler made his second appear- ance at th 6 Studios of 2FC on Tuesday morning, March 13. On this occasion, he was not only relayed; and heard with the greatest clarity throughout Great Britain, but those present in the Sydney studios also heard him relayed back to Australia. Irene Vanbrugh, also imbued with the true spirit, spoke again this morning, and joined in the thrilling experience of talking round the world to Bert Hinkler. Whilst the famous airman spoke in one studio, Miss Vanbrugh listened to his voice coming back from London in another studio. The positions were then reversed, and Mr. Hinkler listened to the speech of the eminent. English actress under similar conditions. Owing to jamming, which interfered with the previous transmission on the 28.5-metres wave-length, the 8.8. C., London, got in touch with 2FC, Sydney, and suggested that an alteration should be made in the wave-length. The engineers of A.W.A. at once fell in with the sug- gestion, and it was arranged for this morning’s programme to be trans- mitted on a wave-length of 31.5 metres. Punctually at 6.25, Sydney time, corresponding with 8.25, London time, 2LO, London, called as follows: “Hello, 2FC, Sydney; hello,. 2FC, Sydney. Conditions are favorable, and if they remain so, we will re- broadcast you at 2035, G.M.T.” The London station then continued to transmit, through SSW, Chelmsford, a short musical programme, and then the following announcement was heard, at 6.34:—“London calling. We are now crossing over to Australia, to hear Captain Hinkler’s speech, from 2FC, Sydney.” At 6.35, Bert Hinkler delivered a short five-minute speech, followed, at 6.40, by Irene Vanbrugh, who spoke for the same period. At 6.47, the following mes- sage came through on the air:— “London calling. We will now resume our evening programme, from the point where it was interrupted. You have been listening to Captain Hink- ler’s speech, from 2FC, Australia.” At 6.51, the following message was sent from sSW:—“Hello,, 2FC; hello, 2FC, Sydney, Australia. We relayed your full message from Captain Hinkler at 2035 GMT; also Miss Vanbrugh.” At 6.53, the London night pro- gramme was continued, with orches- tral selections from the 2LO Studio. Both Bert Hinkler and Irene Van- brugh felt that they had been fully rewarded for their efforts in coming to the 2FC Studios at such an early hour, after their previous disappoint- ment.

## P.12 - 3LO Sporting News

3LO Sporting News THERE is a glamor and thrill about Big Public Schools Cric- ket that is not found to such a degree in any other sphere of this sport. The keen, healthy rivalry of youth, playing for the honour of their school, is enjoyed by “cricket” en- thusiasts who regard it as the true spirit of the great game. The progress results on March 22nd and 23rd between the Big Public Schools will be broadcast by 3LO dur- ing the afternoons, and final results will be given at 7 p.m. each day. Old boys all over the Commonwealth and in New Zealand will want to know how their schools are faring, and will listen in when the results are broad- cast. Randwick Autumn Carnival Broadcast. The A.J.C. Autumn Racing Carni- val will open at Randwick on Satur- day, April 7th—and 3LO will be there to give racing enthusiasts in all parts of the Commonwealth full ac- counts of the racing. The Doncaster Handicap and the A.J.C. Sires Produce Stake are the two main events on the programme, and each event promises keen racing. Racegoers have long learnt to rely upon 3LO for full and accurate re- ports of race meetings in all parts of Australia. The turf has been in- vested with a new interop as a re . suit of 3LO’s broadcasting service. Stawell’s Famous Athletic Carnival. The Stawell Athletic Club’s carni- val to open at Central Park, Stawell, on Saturday, April 7th, will attract the leading runners of Australia, and all Australia will be interested in the results of the elimination heats of the big event, the Stawell Gift. 3LO has arranged to broadcast full reports of the carnival events in this, one of the biggest professional run- ning meetings in the world. The possibility of new champions being discovered is always present, and if they are, well, all Australia will want to know about it at once. 3LO will provide this service. Frank Beaurepaire’s Advice to Swimmers. There is no one in Australia to-day better qualified to give advice to swimmers than the Australian cham- pion, Frank Beaurepaire. Winner of a long string of cham pionships in a period of over 30 years of active participation in front rank events. Beaurepaire has amassed a wealth of practical know- ledge that no theoretical training can approach. 3L0 listeners will therefore he glad to learn that Beaurepaire will talk from the studio on Tuesday, April 3rd, on the subject, “Long Distance Swimming, and How to Prepare for It.” Hints from such an unrivalled authority on the sport at a time when long-distance swimming is so popu- lar should be of particular interest. Green Mill Roller Cycling Results. The results of the Green Mill roller cycling championships of Victoria Frank Beaurepaire, champion swim- mer, Who is to broadcast a talk from SLO on the technique of swimming . will be broadcast from 3LO on the nights of Monday and Wednesday, April 2nd and 4th. These one mile events are attract ing considerable attention because of their novelty, and the fact that a large measure of skill is required of the contestants. 3LO’s announce- ments are being awaited eagerly by the thousands interested in the out- come of the contests. AIREALITIES (By “Rados.”) A Vagary of Time. SUCH is one of Time’s vagaries that Monday’s news is known in London on Sunday night. The news broadcast by 3LO, Mel- bourne, during the early morning short-wave session is listened to or* the other side of the world 10 hours previously, and incidents are known chronologically before they happen. On the other hand, British news, al- though transmitted and received sim- ultaneously, is ten hours late when It arrives in the Antipodes. The simplicity of the explanation does not rob the peculiarity of its Interest, and to the child mind it is a source of endless thought, besides being an object-lesson in chrono- logical reckoning. Science and Radio. The Spectrum of the Sun and Stars can be dissected, one color from the other, until their virtues or disad- vantages for use of mankind can be accurately analysed and calculated. It can be ascertained from the color of the light of the stars what mine- rals they contain. Their weight and distance can be measured, and their movements calculated with precision. Such is the march of science. Soon the phenomena of wireless will be known, fading and distortion will be overcome, and the way opened up for contiuonus telephonic communication the world over. 3LO, Melbourne, is doing much to elucidate these prob- lems. by conducting a regular short- wave broadcasting service every Mon- day morning, between 4.30 and 6.30 (corresponding to 18.30 to 20.30 G.M.T., Sunday). They are also carrying out exten- sive fading and distortion tests, be- sides endowing special research at the Melbourne University. Much valuable data has already been col- lected, and the importance of the ultimate results cannot be foretold. Sufficient for the day is the satisfac- tion of taking its place with the foremost wireless stations in the world* with the optimistic hope that It will discover the cause of the bug- bears standing in the pathway of radio advancement.

## P.13 - It 's All in the Air

It 's All in the Air Coming Features in the Broadcasting Programmes INCLUDED in the programme to be broadcast from 3LO on Sunday night, April Ist, will be community singing from the Welsh Church. “THE SILVER KING” is to be re- peated by special request, by the H. W. Varna Company at 2FC Studio on evening of 28th March. RAYMOND ELLIS: Has arranged his farewell recital from 2FC on Wed- nesday, 28th March, when he will in- clude request songs, from his many listeners in a number of well selected items. THE METHODIST Church Choir, Nicholson Street, will broadcast the inspiring “Olivet to Calvary,” on the night of Wednesday, April 4th. The Choir will visit the studio for the oc- casion. PETER GAWTHORNE, English baritone, is appearing at 2FC on the evening of Sunday, 25th March. Mr. Gawthorne is a man of many parts, and will long be remembered by Syd- ney theatregoers for his masterly interpretation of The Examiner in “Outward Bound.” THE STUDIO Orchestra, under the baton of Mr. J. Sutton Crowe, will broadcast the opera, “II Trova- tore,” from 3LO on the night of Mon- day, April 2nd. This orchestra specialises in this type of classical music, and listeners are advised to make a special note of the date and time of this performance. ANOTHER OF the popular So- nora Sunday afternoon concerts will be broadcast from 3LO, from 2 till 3 p.m., bn Sunday, April Ist. Speci- ally selected records are used in these concerts, and include a wide variety of selections. The best records are chosen from latest releases, and gramophone owners are thus assisted very materially in the choice of their new records. N.S.W. BLINDED SOLDIERS AS- SOCIATION : An entertainment on behalf of this Association has been or- ganised by Captain Fred Aarons, and will be held at the Pavilion Cafe on Saturday night, 24th March. The pro- gramme, which will be broadcast by 2FG, includes old favorites of Sydney’s listening public, viz., Charles Law- rence, Cliff Arnold, Brunton Gibb, Borman McLennan and Louise Hom- frey. Dinner Music will be from the Cafe on the same evening. THE SCOTS’ Church Choir will render “The Crucifixion” on Tues- day night, April 3rd, and 3LO has arranged to broadcast it. SADIE GRAINGER BROAD, who has not been heard by listeners for some time, will sing from 2FC Studio on Wednesday, 28th March. ROSEHILL will be broadcast by 2FC on Saturday afternoon, 24t*h March, when the popular Racing Com- missioner, M. A. Ferry, will describe the meeting in running. “ON WENLOCK EDGE,” Vaughan Williams’ whimsical song cycle, has been chosen by William Dallison for his appearance at 2FC Studio on Mon- day evening, 26th March, which will be presented with string quartette and piano accompaniment. ON TUESDAY night, April 3rd, BLO will broadcast a special West Country programme, on the occasion of the convention of the Devon, Corn- wall and Somerset Associations of Victoria.

A CONCERT under the auspices of the Australian League of Nations will be given in the Great Hall, Sydney University, on the evening of 26th and will be broadcast by 2FC. A very enjoyable programme has been arranged, to which Moore McMahon, the British Music Society Quartette, and the Royal Sydney Apollo Club will contribute. ADVANCE ANNOUNCEMENTS. Features of 3LO programmes dur- ing the week of April 2nd till 7th will be musical interludes by the Four Colored Emperors of Harmony and the Hawaiians, Frank and Francis Luiz. The colored performers will mingle the latest popular hits with dreamy plantation lullabies, and the Hawaiians will transport listeners to the moonlit isles of the Pacific, with their quaint and appealing songs and guitar music. Both features should be popular. REALISING that the possibilities that attend such a session as the “Women’s Hour,” broadcast each morning from 3LO, are tremendously far reaching, no pains are being spared to make this session as all em. bracing as possible, and fresh fea- tures are being added weekly. Apart from the lecturettes that have a direct bearing on the home life, cook- ing, dressmaking, etc., the series of “Health Talks” (with exercises), given by Mrs. Clarence Weber, are proving of more than usual interest, and, through this medium, hundreds of country women are engaged in the fascinating process of not only “get* ting” but “keeping” fit. BRASSO. Have you met Brasso?—the hard-bitten, worldly-wise brass- pounder, who is writing of his wartime experiences as chief op. with transports and tramps , and other submarine-boat prey in “RADIO.” Then read the rattling good adventure yarn he tells in the next issue. It has to do with the rum-running in radio, an industry not unfa- miliar to the author. Illustrated by Jack Waring.
LISTENERS will be interested to learn that final arrangements have been made to broadcast the com- munity singing from Ballarat on Fri- day, March 30th. This is always a popular feature with every class of listener, and not only will it afford additional pleasure to old Ballarat re- sidents living in Melbourne to hear Items broadcast from their own home town, but, as it justly claims to be one of the “Homes of Song,” com- munity singers of Melbourne will be busily engaged in comparing notes, and possibly trying to glean a few hints from their country cousins. ANYTHING that enables the aver- age listener, especially the house- wife, to cast aside the cares and worries of the day, is especially wel- come, and the evensong service broadcast each Thursday evening by BLO, from St. Paul’s Cathedral, is a peaceful interlude in the wear and tear of daily routine. But for this thousands of country listeners would never have an opportunity of hearing the famous Cathedral choir, with its beautiful boy sopranos and the equally famous organ. LISTENERS are reminded that on March 26th, “The Boy Comes Home,” a delightfully humorous ' and enter- taining playlet, will be broadcast from 3LO. The play is being re- hearsed and produced by Terence Crisp, who will give a good account of the principal role, and has been chosen with a special view to effec- tive radio appeal. Mr.. Crisp, who has been associated with the Reper- tory movement for some considerable time past, has little to learn in the art of acting and production, and listeners may look forward to a most artistic and enjoyable performance. FEW ENTERTAINER lecturers are more popular over the air than Charles Nuttall, who has been dispensing much humour and wisdom during the past two years from 3LO, and whose fund of amusing anecdotes seems endless. “A little episode comes to my mind in connection with a railway journey from New York up country,” he says, “my .fellow pas- senger being a gentleman who had just arrived from the Old Country. This was his first trip since landing, and he had apparently forgotten that meals were not included in the fare, so gave himself a thoroughly good time. He had an immense capacity, and ordered portion after portion,, no- thing seemed to satisfy him, and huge steaks followed each other as easily as peanuts. However, he was speedily brought to his bearings, when the waiter presented the bill, 32/6 for breakfast. I felt distinctly sorry for him, more especially when I discovered he was a Scotsman, for I knew then how deeply he must have felt the shock.” THAT VERY popular contralto, Madoline Knight, is again broadcast- ing from 3LO, her perfect diction and enunciation much enhancing the enjoyment of listeners. And thereby hangs a tale. “When I was training,” she said, ‘my singing master was al- ways particularly strict about my enunciation, and, being very enthusi- astic, I followed his instructions im- plicitly. On one occasion I was Kinging at a church gathering, ancr, after the congregation had left the building, being anxious to discover what kind of an impression my songs had made, I asked the old verger twho was dusting the pews and put- ting the books away) if he thought the people had heard my words dis- tinctly. He looked at me a few moments and said, ‘Yes, missie, you're the plainest singer we’ve had here for many a long day.’ ” A MUSICAL TREAT is in store for listeners on Saturday, March 31st, when the “colourful” song- cycle, “In a Persian Garden,” will be broadcast from Studio 3LO. The arrangements are in the hands of Madame Ella Kingston, the well- known soprano from Collins Street Baptist Church, who had already firmly established herself in the good graces of listeners, and who will ren- der the soprano solos in her cus- tomary artistic manner, whilst the choir, under • her capable baton, will give an excellent account of the ensemble numbers. “THE BELLE of Ney York,” though by no means one of our latest musical comedies, never seems to lose its charm of appeal, and, in response to repeated requests for a “further edition,” arrangements have been made for another performance of the musical numbers, which will be broadcast from 3LO, on Wednesday, 28th, and once again the tuneful melodies, “Lucky Jim,” “Try again, Johnnie” and “The Belle of New York” will delight hundreds of listeners. “IT WAS THE MORNING of Hink- ler's broadcast to England,” said Mr. Oswald Anderson, Manager of 2FC, “and I was on my way to the Studio for the preliminary tests at 5 a.m. As the punt crossed the Harbor, I frankly indulged in a little day dreaming. Sixteen days to accomplish a six weeks journey, and now through radio Hinkler’s spoken word would cover the distance in 1/15 of a second. “In a very few years, Empire broad- casting will be quite common, but as yet we are experiencing the thrill of pioneering. Blase as we pretend we are, we still stand a little in awe of the microphone—‘Mike’ of 2FC,” he added, laughing. “As we drew near Fort Macquarie, a voice at my elbow said: ‘Got time to give me a lift ? ’ I invited the brawny son of toil to jump in, and along de- serted Pitt Street he waxed confiden- tial. ‘I catch that punt every morn- ing (4.30_L but most times I have to walk to the station. Guess this is my lucky day.’ “At his destination he gripped my hand with wincing earnestness. ‘Don’t know who you are, but it was mighty good of you,’ he said, ‘l’ll have to get “Mike” of 2FC to thank you!”’ 2FC’S SHORT-WAVE BROADCAST ON 28.35 METRES. “WE HEARD this station clearly, also the announcement of their wave- length. This station came through very strong, and both voice and music were received with clarity. The quality was in no way inferior with Philips. At 6.10 till 8.50 p.m. a musi- cal programme was received consist- ing of orchestral items which 'in- cluded ‘Always,’ and ‘lt’s a Long Way to Tipperary,’ concluding atT 8.50 with the National Hymn. Power R 9, using a detector and two stages of audio . no stages of radio frequency.” TELEGRAMS were received from the stations who rebroadcast 2FC’s description of Hinkler’s landing at Bundaberg. A few of them read as follows: “Your studio transmission short- wave excellent. Bundaberg poor stop. Summary’ of events as given from studio after conclusion of broadcast from Bundaberg very clear and steady stop. Many thanks for your courtesy in this. Laws, 7ZL.” “We successfully rebroadcast your Hinkler reception from Bundaberg. Please accept our many thanks. SCL.” “Reception extremely difficult but could follow enthusiastic proceedings at Bundaberg stop. Resume of events appreciated. Again many thanks. 6WF.” Telegrams were also received-from listeners all over Australia congratu- lating 2FC on their initiative in re- broadcasting these historical events oh short waves. SUPER-POWER. Network Broadcasting. What is the next development in Australian Broadcasting? What are the great powers con- sidering just now? Is it Super- Power and Chain Broadcast- ing? F. R. Leppard, in the March issue of “RADIO,” be- lieves that it is. Analysing the present situation, in view of the Royal Commission's findings, he cannot see anything else but the establishment of super-power stations and the linking-up of relay stations. The name Lep- pard is a psuedonym concealing a well-known identity in broad- casting whose position makes him specially qualified to write on this subject.

same is Twinkletoes) jumped from , the microphone on to “Billy Bunny’s” desk, and whispered to him, “Don’t forget to tell the children about the fairy gift of -lovely garden seeds you lave for the birthday little folk.” [‘Til tell them,” said “Billy Bunny.” ( “I wonder if they know that a lovely little fairy lives in each flower that will blossom when those seeds are properly cared for and watered?” 'asked the fairy. “I wonder,” said “Billy Bunny.” “They may not even how that in that one packet of seeds they will have, if they are good little [gardeners, seeds, plants, and blossoms for years. That is the reason that I call them fairy gifts, for fairy gifts [always multiply,” the fairy said. (“You’re a very nice person, Twinkle- ’ toes,” “Billy Bunny” said, “and I [shall certainly tell the children what you say.’’ iTwinkletoes flew three, times round the microphone (that is the way she shows she is pleased), and then left ‘“Billy Bunny” to tell the children that a packet of garden feeeds is being ®nt by 3LO to every boy and girl rwhose birthday is recorded there. So, children, those, of you who have not [sent in your birthdays to 3LO, so as ‘you may receive one of these fairy [gifts, dot. so, for where could you get a gift that got better and better the [more you used it but from a fairy? [Besides, think of the joy of bringing [“Billy Bunny” a nice bunch of fairy Blossoms, that you have grown all by pourself, from the birthday fairy gift from 3LO. THE PAST. (By “Mintie.) Where was a time when Pa went out, WArtd left Ma home to sew; l utthat was ere, the wireless came; I There was no 3LO. mere was a time when Mother said f The house was dull and slow; m that was ere the wireless came; (There was no 3LO. mere was a time when Grandpa m snored, vAnd led the folk a dance; bit that Avas ere the wirelesdj came, \ And brought our Norm. McCance. Vow home is quite d different place, \And no one cares to stray; |'hey listen in to 3LO, And tfiat’s th.e happy way. FAIRY FLOWERS. (By “Micky the Sprite.”) Once upon a time (most fairy stories commence that way), when there were no ' Faity Flowers on earth, a sweet little Fairy, who was very sad at all the sorrow and sick- ness among little children, thought how beautiful it would be if she could fill the world with love and gladness, and if she could cheer the little sick children with sweet perfumed Fairy Flowers. She called all the Love Fairies, together, and told them what she. wanted to do, and they clapped their hands with joy. They decided to make a big garden, and bring in seed from. the deserts tnd'the forests, and put into them fairy magic, to make, them grow sweet, and more beautiful than -ever before. The gar- den grew, and grew, and grew, and the Fairies breathed into the flowers, and when the seed came, they scat- tered it to the four corners of the earth. The mortal children grew to love the Fairy 'Flowers, and the world was filled with love and joy and beauty. After many years the Flower Fairies came to 3LO with their gar- den seeds, and in every envelope going to all the children with birth- day cards they now slip-in quietly a packet of seed. . The children are overjoyed to receive these gifts, and they are all making gardens like the fairies did many years ago, so that they will grow more and more fairy flowers to. give to their loved ones, and the little children in hospitals, and the dear old folk, who are not able to make a garden for themselves. Don’t you think. this is a beautiful thing to do, children? and if you would like to do your share of scat- tering the seed of joy and love and” sunshine, just have your birthday put in the big birthdav book at 3LO, and the fairies will do the rest. SUNDAY SONORA RECITALS SOUGHT AFTER. 3LO’s Feature Success. There were some who predicted failure for the broadcasting of gramophone records, when 3LO mooted the Sunday afternoon concerts some time ago, but then they were not to know the quality of the concerts 3LO intended to provide. The Sunday afternoon sonora concerts have proved one of SLO’s most successful and most appreciated ventures. Scores of let- ters of commendation have been re- ceived. The concerts are given from 2 p.m. till 3 p.m. on Sundays, and the programmes are always specially selected'. Bayreuth Festival Records. Bayreuth Festival records wera used for the concert on Sunday, March 18. Bayreuth is a small town in Bavaria, and ;s not only the Mecca of all Wagnerites, but also of all lovers of opera. It is the shrine of Wagner. Nowhere in the world are the operas of Wagner to be seen and heard in such magnificent productions as at Bayreuth. The members of the or- chestra at this famous theatre, which is shaped like a fan, having unique acoustic properties, are each a profes- sor of his instriiment. They are actu- ated not by the high rate of pay, but by the honor and distinction of being selected to play at the Wagner festival. Wonderful Records. The records, then, are of distinct beauty and appeal. On the 18th March programme will be played Parsifal, in 15 parts, Siegfried, in three parts, Rhinegold, in two parts, and Valkyrie, in two parts. It is an opportunity for music lovers to hear a particularly good programme. The records, when broadcast, are enriched in tone and color until the listeners are almost made to believe that they are listening, eyes closed, to the art- ists in the flesh. MARY GUMLEAF.

## P.17 - The Foursome Two

The Foursome Two THE heading “Foursome Two” may sound ambiguous, but a glance at the diagrams will show why this receiver is so styled. Many readers have written us from time to time, asking for details of a circuit making use of Tetrode valves. Until recently it has been a difficult matter to obtain four electrode valves which were really worth the use thereof from an economical and efficiency view-point, but now it is possible to design a receiver of extreme economy and yet retain the quality of volume combined with all other requisite features; by the use of suitable Tetrodes. The word Tetrode, as the reader will conclude, is the term applicable to the four electrode valve. Many readers will probably “stall” at the idea of breaking new ground, and may consider the Tetrode something beyond their ken until they have sufficiently mastered the ins and outs of the three electrode valve, or Triode. There are differences, of course, which are material, but these will not pass beyond comprehension for those who are sufficiently conversant with the function of the Thermionic valve. The main outstanding feature of the four electrode valve is that it may be used with a considerably lower plate voltage than is possible with a three electrode valve. A Tetrode of suitable design will also give a much higher amplification for a given B supply them with the Triode. Evidence of the efficiency of the Tetrode is in the fact that the commercial long and medium wave receiver used for telegraphic communication on ships whose wireless installations are designed by one of the world’s leading wireless companies, uses a single Tetrode valve. The penetrating power of short waves is now well known and trans-world communication established daily; yet the writer remembers well that uncanny feeling when listening in Sydney harbour to signals emanating from GBL Leafield, in England, a few years ago. The wavelength was in the region of 22,000 metres and the signal perfectly readable using a Tetrode detector and a separate heterodyne oscillator. The receiver, as described here, is illustrative of and well adapted to the use of Tetrodes. It will be found perfectly simple to control, highly sensitive, and above all, the last word in economy. A glance at the theoretical diagram will show that there is nothing terrifying to the novice about it. The arrangements of the components is quite straightforward, and mainly because it is thought that the enthusiast who builds such a set as this will want to find out something about its “modus operandi,” more controls are provided than are really necessary. The tuning coil used is centre tapped as shown, although this tapping need not be electrically central. Here is one immediate advantage of this receiver, which is that it is easily adaptable to a highly sensitive and' easily controllable short-wave receiver. In this case, it will, of course, be necessary to materially reduce the capacity of condenser Cl, which is normally .0005 mfd. for the broadcast band. The value of the inductance naturally will also require LIST OF PARTS FOR THE FOURSOME TWO. Although the parts listed below and mentioned throughout the articles were those actually used by us in the receiver described, it must be pointed out that it is not absolutely essential that they be rigidly adhered to. Other parts of similar quality and technical values should function quite satisfactorily. 1 Dilecto formica or hard rub- ber panel 12 x 7 x 3-16 in. 1 Baseboard li x 10 x lin. 1 .0005 variable condenser (Ge- cophone). 1 .00035 variable condenser (Gecophone). If alternative makes, two good quality vernier dials. 1 3in. former, three inches long. 1 Small reel 26 D.C.C. wire. 1 5 to 1 ratio transformer. 1 50 mfd. midget variable con- denser. 1 400 ohms potentiometer. 1 30 ohm rheostat. 1 Amperite or Brachstat. 1 R.F. choke (Radiokes). 1 .001 fixe£ condenser. 1 .00025 grid condenser. 1 .002 fixed condenser. 1 Two meg. leak, with clips. 1 li volt dry cell. 1 41 volt C battery. 1 Battery switch.

reduction. A centre tapped coil for short wave work will render tuning quite easy with a fairly large value of variable capacity in shunt. Note, however, that if this receiver is adapted for short wave work, that the micro variable condenser C 3 in the aerial lead must not under any circumstances be omitted. This is invaluable for the avoidance of “dead spots” where oscillation ceases owing to harmonics from the aerial-earth system. For the present, however, we will discuss the receiver as used on the broadcast band of wavelengths. It is interesting to note that if the inner grid of the detector valve and the inner grid of the amplifier to the connections marked G 1 and G 2 were omitted, then the circuit is virtually an ordinary three electrode arrange- ment which would require a mucn higher value of B voltage. We are indebted to our British con- temporary. the “Wireless World,” for the original idea of this receiver, vide that well-known writer, Mr. Castel- lain, B.Sc., and it will be noted that in accordance with the original circuit a potentiometer is provided as a means of~ controlling the grid poten- tial of the detector valve. A 11 volt cell is provided in series with the potentiometer arm and the grid leak. The only actual advantage of this potential differentiation, is that both methods of rectification may be used. This provides an interesting means of comparison of the respective advan- tages or disadvantages of leaky grid or “anode bend” rectification. It is possible to change over from one to the other by simply rotating the potentiometer control. By using various settings of the potentio- meter, the most efficient conditions of signal strength may he noted There is nothing complicated about the cir- cuit which we will now go over in detail. Condenser Cl is a .0005 variable condenser which should be of the straight line frequency type. Con- denser C 2 is also a good quality con- denser with a capacity of .00025 to .00035 mfd. C 4 is a grid condenser of .00025, C 5 is a fixed condenser of .002, although almost any higher capacity will do in this position. Con- denser C 6 has a fixed capacity of .001, C 3 is a midget variable con- denser with a maximum capacity of 50 mfd. This is invaluable as an aid to selectivity and is most impor- tant as a means of overcctming “dead spots.” The grid leak has a value of 2 megs, and the potentio- meter of 400 ohms. R.F.C. is the radio frequency choke, which in this case is a “Radiokes,” but may be of any other good make or construction. The inter-valve transformer should preferably have a ratio of 5 to 1, and should also be of good manufacture. The one used in the receiver described is an A.W.A. The filament rheostat on the detector has a maximum value SHORT-WAVE SUPER- HETERODYNE. The outstanding article in the March “RADIO” is by Ray Allsop, chief engineer of 2BL, in which he describes the con- struction and operation of his special Relay Short-Wave Su- perheterodyne. No radio enthusiast or experi- menter should ?niss this article.
of 30 ohms, and the amplifier valve is controlled by an automatic ballasting resistance of the Amperite type. It will be noted that A negative and B negative are linked together and the filament switch placed in the A nega- tive lead. The tuning coil should consist of 50 turns of No. 26 D.C.C. wire on a 3 inch former three inches long, and centre tapped, as shown. This may be mounted permanently on the baseboard or sub panel, but if the reader desires to use this receiver for short wave reception, then it is quite a simple matter to construct a suit- able mounting, having three pins so that various plug in coils may be used. A little experimentation will be necessary with the number of turns for short wave work, as the reader will probably use a condenser of far too high a capacity. The con- denser used for broadcast reception will be quite suitable provided that it is controlled by a very fine reduction vernier. For this reason, the Geco- phone slow motion SLF condenser is recommended, as it was found quite easy to control the receiver on the short wave bands by the use of this condenser. Here it is well to mention that the regeneration condenser C 2 should also be provided with a very fine control if the receiver is to be used for short waV€ work. A single circuit jack is provided for use with the headphones or the loud speaker, but it should be thoroughly understood that this receiver is not designed for loud speaker reproauc- tion, although this is possible to a certain degree on strong signals. Al- though inter-State stations are aud- ible on the headphone, do not expect loud speaker reproduction on long distance signals. Before proceeaing- any further, it is necessary to say a little about the valves used with this receiver. Two Philips A44l’s were used and found highly satisfactory. These valves have a filament voltage of 3-4 volts with a filament current consumption of .06 ampere. The plate voltage is from 2 to 20 volts and the amplification factor 4i. The filament, pl&te, and outer grid con- nect in the usual manner with the valve socket, but the inner grid is connected with the body of the valve and terminates with a connector on a small strip of springy brass. These valves may be used with any set em- ploying three Bleotrode valves, by simply connecting the inner grid to the B positive of the B battery. Full details of these valves are supplied in the carton and they are highly re- commended by the writer as a most economical and efficient production. By obtaining Tetrodes of this nature, the reader will not subject himself to any loss, as there are many applica- tions in which they may be employed. There are various aspects R.F. amplification to which a TeLode is particular’y suited. A will be required measuring 12 x Tin. with a baseboard measuring 11 x lOin. Layout and mark off the panel, in accordance with the mea- surements given in the template dia- gram. There are two main tuning controls, consisting of condenser Cl and C 2 respectiyely. In the receiver used, these condensers were of Geco- phone manufacture, but any good con- densers may be substituted. The condenser C 2 is the regeneration con- trol and has a capacity of .00035 mfd. Below this condenser is placed the single circuit jack. Condenser Cl is located on the left of the panel and has a capacity of .0005 mfd. Be- low this is placed the battery switch. The two knobs in the centre of the panel are raspectively the 30 ohm rheostat and 400 ohm potentiometer.
Mount the panel components first, having attached the baseboard and then layout as shown in the back of panel diagram. The C battery and the Is volt cell are both mounted on the baseboard with the components. Nine terminals are required and are mounted in the usual way with a strip of dilecto on the back edge of the baseboard. A negative and B nega- tive are linked together. It will be noticed in the wiring diagram that terminals G 1 and G 2 are shown with arrows indicating the connection to the inner-grids of the two valves. This may be done by means of a short length of flex, but if the reader so desires he may arrange a small spring clip on the baseboard close to each valve, so that when the valve is placed in the socket, the terminal of the inner-grid will connect with the clip. To avoid confusion, it is best to make these two connections last of all. Commence the wiring with the filament circuit. From B negative, A negative take a lead to one side of the filament switch, and to the nega- tive filament terminal of both valve sockets. The positive terminal of the volt C battery is also connected to the negative filament supply. • Con- nect up one side of condenser C 6 and the potentiometer to the negative filament supply and continue to the earth terminal. From A positive join to one side of the ballasting resist- ance, controlling the second valve and also to one side of the potentiometer. From the aerial terminal run a con- nection to one side of the 50 mfd. variable condenser, and the other side of this condenser to the rotor plates of the tuning condenser Cl. The rotor plates of this condenser are also connected to one end of the coil. Join up one side of condenser C 4, which is the grid condenser with the rotor plates of Cl and the other side of the grid condenser to the grid terminal of the first valve socket. The two meg- ohm grid leak is connected to this grid also, and thg other side to the negative terminal of the 1 h volt bat- tery and one side of C 5 as shown. The other side of C 5 is connected to the negative filament. The positive terminal of the 1£ volt cell is con- nected to the moving arm of the potentiometer. Now connect up the centre tap of the coil with the earth, and the stator plates of condenser Cl with the other end of the coil and the stator nlates of the regeneration condenser C 2. From the rotor plates of C 2, a connection is made to the plate of the first valve and one side of the R.F. choke. The other side of this choke is connected to . ter- minal P of the primary of the inter- valve transformer, and also to the other side of the by-pass condenser C 6. Terminal B of the primary of the inter-valve transformer is con- nected to the B positive D terminal on the mounting strip. Terminal G of the transformer secondary is con- nectcd to he grid terminal of the second valve socket in the usual way, and terminal F to the negative ter- minal of the 41 volt C battery. From one side of the single circuit jack, take a lead to the plate of the second valve and the other side to the B positive A terminal on the strip. The other side of the 30 ohm rheostat is connected to the positive filament terminal of the first valve, and the ballasting resistance to the positive filament terminal of the second valve. Place the valves in the sockets and join up the two terminals G 1 and G 2 by means of a length of flex with the terminal on the cap of each valve. A four volt accumulator or dry cells will be required with a B battery hav- ing intermediate tappings up to zO volts. The voltage on the inner grid of each valve should be from 2 to 4 volts, but the reader will soon find the best potential to apply. Connect up the batteries and the aerial and earth and plug in the telephones. The tuning will be found exactly similar to a Reinartz receiver, and the strength of signals equal to a two valve receiver using Triodes with the normal higher B voltage. The first test of this receiver was made with an extremely long aerial in an un- screened position, and owing to this the variable midget condenser was found to be a valuable asset toward selectivity. Rotate condenser Cl until a station is tuned in and then increase the capacity of C 2 until maximum volume is obtainable with- out oscillation. Vary the setting of the potentiometer, and note the dif- ference in the control of oscillation. It will be found that reaction is per- fectly smooth, and that there is no bangsring into oscillation and out again. Inter-State stations were easily received on the headphones, and 2BL, 2FC and 2GB well audible in a medium sized loud speaker. Sub- sequently the coil was changed for a short wave coil, and the receiver proved itself admirably suited for re- ception at the higher frequencies. For this reason, Gecophone con- densers were used owing to their ex- tremely fine control. By using a centre tapped coil the higher capacity of the condensers was not seriously detrimental to tuning. The receiver proved itself intensely interesting, being efficient and, above all, ex- tremely economical. OVER FIFTY Inverell residents accepted the invitation of their Dis- trict Hospital committee to attend the official opening of the hospital radio set, the installation of which was completed three weeks ago. The night was ideal for the occa- sion, and reception could not have been much clearer. Shortly after 8 o’clock a message of congratulation came over the air from 2FC, Sydney: “Hello, Inverell. We congratulate the committee of your hospital on its decision to install wireless, and the successful conclusion of its efforts. We also congratulate the generous people of Inverell and district who have made possible the installation. If they desire any thanks, we ask them to look to-night at the smiling faces of Doreen Jarrett, Jackie Hoey, and George Truman, in the children’s ward.” Following this message, the gather- ing listened for an hour to pro- grammes broadcast from stations in Sydney and Melbourne. Mr. McKie, president of Tingha Hospital, said he hoped the time was not far distant when his hospital would also have a radio installation. Ho remarked that wireless was one of the finest things that could be in- stalled in any hospital. The cost of the installation was £l6O. The set is a Bremer Tully. There are 27 pairs of head-’phones for patients, as well as three loud- speaker points in the wards. There is also a loud-speaker point in the nurses’ quarters and the matron’s room. ♦ JAZZ NIGHTS. The regular Wednesday jazz nights are proving very popular at 4QG, and messages, reporting appreciative re- ception of the music by Alf. Feather- stone and his Studio Syneopators, continue to reach the station. It has been the practice lately to include humorous items between dance num- bers, and this, too, has been greatly appreciated. + __ WIRELESS IN FLOOD TIME. The very heavy rains of the past week, resulting in flooding through- out the State, brings home the value of wireless to those living in low- lying areas. 4QG makes a point of broadcast- ing the fullest information, as sup- plied by the Weather Bureau and the newspapers, so that those whose lives may be in danger by flood shall receive ample warning of an impend- ing rise in the water-courses to dan- ger level. To country residents es- pecially, wireless is a necessity, for when mails are held up through im- possible roads, they are supplied through the ether with the latest news and .weather bulletins. WHAT IS A HAM? Ever thought how the word “Ham” came to be applied to Amateur Radio Experimenters? The dictionary does not mention the connection. Few Hams themselves can give you an au- thentic account of its deriva- tion. 2ZY does so, though , in the March “RADIO.” All en- thusiasts should read this amus- ing skit on radio fanatic.

## P.21 - Wireless Sought as Aid to Sport

Wireless Sought as Aid to Sport. Its Worth Recognised ONE of the surest evidences of ignorance is fear. Only a few months ago sporting organisa- tions, chief among them racing clubs, were clamoring for a ban on the broadcasting of fixtures. They thought it would keep people away. To-day these same people welcome with open arms the broadcasting of sporting fixtures, knowing wireless as the greatest advertising medium the world has ever known. Confidence is one of the most reliable indications of knowledge. 3LO’S Big Part. 3LO has played a big part in bring- ing about this change of attitude. It has taught sporting bodies to regard wireless not as an enemy, but as an ally. It has done this through service —service to sporting organisations and to the public of Australia. Its successful descriptions over the air of important sporting fixtures in all branches has done much to bring about a tremendous uplift in the standard of Australian sport. Aus- tralian swimmers, cyclists, runners, and tennis players, to mention a few, have done things which none thought they could accomplish. Why?' Be- cause wireless, 3LO particularly, has created a new public interest in these men, and as a consequence a new de- sire to excel in the men themselves. Services Paid for Overseas. Such is the demand for wireless publicity from various sporting bodies that 3LO has found it impos- sible to accede to their requests al- ways. This is evidence of the general appreciation of the usefulness of wireless as a means of popularising and making known a particular sport The experience of broadcasting com- panies overseas has been the same as that of 3LO. The difference is, however, that sporting organisations in other countries, notably America,, often offer the companies large sums of money to broadcast their fixtures, realising that they can reach far more people in the best possible way than by any other means. Wireless, in sport, has become indispensable. Sustaining Interest. What wireless really does for sport Is this. It sustains interest among those who follow a sport, it enlight- ens others on what is doing, and it keeps all right up to the minute with his or her favorite sport so that there is little likelihood of interest waning, and supporters of any sport falling off. Wireless is daily creating new fans. Overwhelming evidence in support of these statements is found in every branch of sport. Wrestling was never spoken of in more than a hundred Melbourne homes until wire- less descriptions of the Stadium matches were broadcast. What was the result? The wrestling fever spread and one of the biggest wrest- ling booms the Commonwealth has ever known ensued. Tennis and Cycling. Tennis and cycling have never en- joyed such wide popularity as they do to-day in Australia. The attendances at tennis matches Were, until recently, notoriously small. Even international matches failed to awaken much in- terest. Then the matches were broadcast, and the result—Kooyong not large enough to hold the crowds which wanted to see the last cham- pionships there. The newspapers at the time commented upon this new in- terest, speaking of the sudden de- velopment of the “fan” in tennis— an individual to take a place with the football and cricket fan armies. Cycling, too, has benefited immeasur- ably from the publicity given it by ac- counts broadcast by 3LO from the motordrome. It was largely due to the interest created in our cyclists that Australia was able to send away her Tour de France team. That *s generally conceded. Cricket and Racing. Of cricket is has been said that it cannot be adequately described over the air. But the interest which broad- cast accounts of big matches creates, has been reflected in the big attend- ances at Sheffield Shield matches this year. When Ponsford was making his record score against Queensland re- cently the crowds flocked out to see him. They had heard of it on the wireless. Again, when things looked black for Victoria in the match against New South Wales here, the crowds flocked to the M.C.C. to watch the struggle. 3LO had told of the fight in progress. The broadcasting of horse races is undoubtedly a big factor in maintaining interest. Men, and women too, are able to follow form almost as well as if they were watching the races. Nothing can compare, of course, with the actual thrill of watch- ing a race, but then, only wireless could fill the gap, as it were, for those who are unable to go some Saturday. Gustav Froelich to Attack Back Stroke Record. The performances of the German swimmer, Gustav Froelich, since his arrival in Australia have stamped him as among the world’s foremost swim- mers. At the Y.M.OA. baths on Thursday, March 15, Froelich will at- tack the world’s 100 yards back stroke record. The attempt will be described by 3LO, and should prove of absorbing interest to swimmers all over the Commonwealth, ft will be< remem- bered that it was at the Y.M.C.A. baths last year that Ivan Stedman made an onslaught on the 220 yards breast stroke record in an effort Ko win the 3LO cup, given to an athlete who breaks an Australian record. Stedman was successful, and was pre- sented with the cup. Roller Cycling Championship. An account of the Green Mill roller cycling championship of Victoria will be broadcast by 3LO on the night of March 19. Interstate School Cricket. 3LO has made arrangements to broadcast results of the triangular State school cricket matches between Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland to be played in Sydney on March 22nd and 23rd. Thousands of school children in all States, and in the three States concerned particularly, will be eager to hear the accounts of the doings of their champions. Frank Beaurepaire to Talk. Holder of 120 championship titles, Frank Beaurepaire is undoubtedly en- titled to the honor of Australia’s most famous swimmer. “Boy” Charlton and other young performers have brought renown to Australia with their feats, but Beaurepaire’s remarkable consistency has won for him a distinction which younger exponents cannot yet lay claim to. Included in Beaurepaire’s 120 championships are 20 championships of Australia, 14 of England, five of France, three of Belgium and four of Finland. Frank is recognised, therefore, as an authority on swimming, and it is with particular pleasure that 3LO announces that he will speak from the studio on the night of March_2o on the subject of “General Swimming Technique.” Beaurepaire has been swimming for nearly 30 years, and only this year won the 880 yards championship otf Victoria—a wonderful performance for a swimmer who was opposed to youths just getting into their swimming stride. In all those years of active participation on champion:«hips the world over Beaurepaire has assimilated a fund of knowledge on all swimming points imaginable. The popular saying, “What he does not know about it is not worth knowing,” might aptly be applied to Frank Beaurepaire. March 20 offers an exceptional opportunity for swimmers to learn some helpful points on swimming.

4 7/ m V Only the Best in Radio will ever Satisfy You! MOST of us have possessions that originally cost us a little more than we per- haps liked to pay. But what satisfaction we have had from those things. You’ll fee] the same satisfaction with your Model 100 A, finding lasting enjoyment in its full, clear tone . . . for its powers of reproduction are as per- manent as its handsome heavy, dull bronze case. Long after you have bought yours it will sing to you in the same rich- timbred tones that first de- lighted you. What other speaker has all these 8 refinements A new type corrugated and treated cone rattles and is entirely weatherproof. A magnetic strength that will not decline with age nor decrease in sensitiveness as is the case with some Loudspeakers. A new type of step-up lever arm that provides efficient low frequency reproduction. An electrical filter that removes distortion produced by high- frequency harmonics and summation tones. A large size permanent magnet of special alloy steel that gives great sensitivity and volume throughout the entire range.
* A Loudspeaker case that, acting as a baffle plate, preserves the
deep, full tones. Felt enclosure that destroys resonance effects and gives uniform response to all tones. Extra heavy pole pieces and armature that enable great volume without saturation.
