sible Egyptian circles that an English
man would be shot daily until the re-
turn of Said Zagloul Pasha, former
minister of justice, who some time
ago was arrested by British authori-
ties. The dispatch adds that there ap-

TRI-CITIES OWN
800 RECEIVING
RADIO STATIONS
More Than 60 of Number Are Send
ing Signals-License Requir-
ed for Sending.

The tri-cities have 800 wireless
receiving stations, according to a
conservative estimate made by
Robert Karlowa of the KarloWa
Radio company. in Rock Island.
More than go of these Offices are
sending stations located at various
points. The number of sending
stations is small in comparison to
the receiving stations in the United
States, because of the license which
is required to operate the former.
Anyone can have a receiving sta
ton, but the operator must under
go an examination before he can
send signals.
Some of these stations have elab-
crate antenna systems, while the
majority merely have a wire strung
here and there. Sets for receiving
only require one wire or more,
while a sending Office needs four
or more. For the larger station
the cage antenna or the regular
battleship antenna, which consists
of six wires strung in a circle, is
used.
The Hall recording relay has
made it possible for an amateur
with a receiving set to receive sig
nails without being able to trans
late the code This apparatus re-
ceives the signals and records them
on a paper tape in dots and dashes.
The message may be translated at
any time by someone having mow-
edge of the code.

How Improvements Can Help
Tourist

Wanted: An automobile spe-
cially suited for long touring and
camping trips.
When such automobile is pro-
duced, the joy of the tourist and
camper will be complete. He will
not have to strap trunks, bags,
poles and other paraphernaha to
the sides, back and top of his car.
He will no longer look like tramp
on the road.
Instead, the camping automobile
can have all room and provisions
for storing the things needed on
long trips, and it can look as neat
as any other machine
That such a car can be made is
evident from a stury of the con-
struction of the modern automo-
bile. What is most needed in a
camping car is room. That can
easily be provided by few mOdi
f1cations of the present model.
Storage Space.
The first place for improvement
is underneath the seats. IL the
tank is set back a little farther. a
large, long box-like affair can be
attached to the car on each side,
reaching from the rear axle almost
to the gear box in front
1t would be more than a foot
deep underneath the rear seat and
could afford ample space for camp
ing utensils and other equipment.
A tank for carrying water may
be set into the box on one side,
while on the other side, away from
the exhaust, may be a miniature
zinc-lined icebox.
In the back above the tank, there
is room for a trunk rack Behold
the front seat and in the doors
there is more room for supplies.
Heating Provision.

to the latest news Of the day.
The latest achievement in radio
telephony is apparatus by which
one station on shore can maintain
a two-way conversation with each of
three ships all at the same time.
This may develop into a system of
radio telephone exchanges, which
will make several transatlantic
connections at the same time
More than a week elapsed be-
tween the death of Sir Ernest
Shackleton, the British explorer,
and its announcement to the world
due to a series of wireless misshaps
that put the set aboard his S. S.
The Quest" out of commission for
that period. Captain L. Hussey, who
returned with the body from Monte
video declared that the ships sta
ton had worked efficiently up to
within a day of the death of the
great explorer.
It is estimated that more than
500 small wireless outfits had been
installed in Paris jewelry, watch
and clock stores for the sole pur-
pose of checking up the correct
Greenwich meridian time as it is
sent daily at 10 o'clock from Eiffel
tower.
The Yukon country will have two
powerful radio stations under Cana
dion auspices within the near fu-
ture if Canadian legislators are sue
cessful in their efforts to have the
government establish them at Daw-
son and White Hourse. The open
ing of other stations at Stewart,
Atlin and Alice Arm, B. c., is also
being promulgated The Canadian
government has been considering
rebuilding an abandoned telegraph
line in that country which the legis-
latOrs wish to replace with this new
chain OF radio stations.

OWNER OF RADIO
RECEIVING SET Is
MISSING NOTHING

To own a radio receiving set is to
have at your command source OF
entertainment of infinite variety
and a service of news, weather,
crop and stock reports, details OF
great sporting events, and even COM
plete church services. The num-
erous broadcasting stations provide
carefully balanced and thought
fully chosen series of nightly pro-
grams which are being enjoyed by
hundreds of thousands of homes
throughout the country.
These programs include enter
taiument by individual and grouped
artists of the musical and theatrical
world, speeches by famous public
men and women, play by play re-
ports of all kinds Of sporting events,
and many special features which
are being added from time to time.
Programs, such as these. have
changed the meaning of radio to the
average man from a toy to a real
and vital part OF his home life. To
appreciate the significance of this
statement, it is but necessary to
listen to one broadcasted program.
A radio receiving set brings the
extensive service of the vaudeville.
opera, lectures, sermons, and, in
fact the entire business world TO
your home at q nominal expense.
Radio messages can be heard
anywhere on the earth, in the air,
under the ocean. In the air mail
service the radio is of immeasur-
able value. Submarines entirely
submerged can even receive radio
messages.

An Andiop Detector Set.

An AudlOn Detector Set
For those who have started with
a crystal detector and progressed
to the point where they desire some
thing better, and for those who
want to start out with a bulb set,
the set to be described below
make a very good as wen as serv-
iceable one. while at the same time
it costs somewhat less than other
types.
An audion bulb serves the same
purpose in the receiving set as the
crystal detector, namely, to change
the incoming high frequency oscil-
lations to a puisating direct cur
rent that will be audible in the re-
ceivers. A small tungsten filma-
ment, designed to operate on six
volts, surrounded by a coil OF fine
wire. which must not make any
electrical connection with the fla
ment, and a strip of sheet mate
rial surrounding but not touching
the coil, the whole being enclosed
in a glass bulb, from which the air
is completely exhausted. constitutes
the audion.
The lookup" gives the connec-
lions for the instruments used in
this set, as well as the meme OF each
piece of apparatus. In building any
kind of audion outfit, 1t is not ad-
visable for the amateur to attempt
to build the various instruments,
as they are difficult to make with
out special tools. 1t is, however,
advisable for him to do his own
wiring and mounting OF the instru-
ments.
II a panel is to be used for mount
ing the instruments it should be
made Of either bakelite or forInica-
Since both OF these are rather ex-
uensiye many amateurs mount the
instruments on wood. In many
cases the wood In damp or sold
ing acid Is allowed to get on the
back OF the panel when being
wired, causing failure TO work at
all or at best on the very loudest
signals. II better set IS to be
built later It Is Just as well TO ar

not use any paint on the panel as
paint contains substances that are
fairly good conductors The best
way to finish such a panel is to
smooth it down well with sand
paper and give a coat of thin white
shellac. Add alcohol if too thick.
In planning the layout of the
panel consider not only what looks
the best, but how the wires con-
Meeting the different instruments
may be kept as short as possible,
and the amount of space taken up
A good panel design for this set
would be one having the coil mount
in the upper left hand corner, the
large variable directly below, with
the grid condenser in the center and
the same distance from the bottom
the filament rheostat in the lower
right hand corner, above the
rheostat small inch hole through
the bulb can be seen. The bulb is
mounted on the back Of the panel in
a vertical position. A pair Of
binding posts should be provided
on the left side for connection to
the antenna and ground. On the
right hand side binding posts for
phones an "a" battery, and "B"
battery will be required.
In making any kind Of set the
one that tries to make his work

teur takes time to make his set
neat he will never regret it, because
nearly everyone land there are
plenty coming to see his set re-

In wiring up the set use only one
size wire throughout. No. .16 or Is
rubber covered fixture wire is ex-
ceIlent for this work Remember
to solder all connections where
there is not a good binding post to
connect to. In soldering do not

d1oNews Views and Suggestions for Amateur Operators
APPARATUS FOR RECEIVING CAN
BE INSTALLED BY ANYONE; LICENSE
REQUIRED FOR SENDING STATIONS

Anyone may install a radio re-
ceiving set.
There is 3 no government law
against listening in on the numer-
Gus messages that are filling the air
day and night. Only one precau-
tionary measure should be taken
before inaugurating the new receiv-
ing station. That is to get the ap-
proval of the fire underwriters, that
the installation is safe from danger
by lightning or fire.
Sending messages by radio has
been under government control ever
since the general use of wireless
telegraphy. But with the advent of
the much simpler radio telephony,
in the last two years, traffic has be-
come so congested that the present
laws will have to be changed so as
to conform with the rapid progress
of this science.
Rules for Sending.
Until the new laws are passed,
the following rules will govern the
transmission of messages by radio
phone:
Every person desiring to trans
NIT messages must obtain a license
from the radio inspector of the dis
trict in which the station is to be
operated. Control of radio is in the
hands Of the bureau of navigation
of the department of commerce. Nc
charge is made for license.
Radio transmission is divided into
three classes, for the purposes OF
limitation and control. Government
commercial and amateur.
Government radio transmission is
unlimited in the use of wave length
The federal stations, however, have
confined their messages to wave
lengths above those allotted to COM
merCial and amateur stations.
Commercial stations are allowed
special wave lengths to transmit
their messages, and a certain time
at night for their exclusive use. Ell
forts are being made now by the
government to allow the CONNER
cfal companies greater leeway in the
transmission Of their messages.
Trouble With Fans.
Greatest difficulty is found in con-
trolling the vast army of amateurs.
At present the law divides amateur
stations into three groups:

The greatest feat in wireless
telephony so far was the converse
ton last year between the steam
ship Gloucester in the Atlantic
