NelD Book on Radio
ReadH for OperatOrS

The Government Printing Office at
Washington has just issued an ele-
mentary book on radio communica-
ton. This book is The PRINCIPLES
Underlying Radio Communication,
Signal Corps Radio Communication
Pamphlet No. 40. second edition. The
first edition was prepared during
1918 at the Bureau of Standards at
the request of the Signal Corps for
use as textbook in training en-
listed men of the Signal Corps for
radio service. The revised edition has
also been prepared at the Bureau CT
Standards. and has been consider
ably increased in size. Some ohso-
lete material appearing in the first
! edition has been replacei. and con-
siderable new material has been
added. There is new material on
batteries. ordinary WIRE te!epTaphY
| and telephony. line radio communi-
| cation, transformers. antennas in
cluding coil ,antennas and direction
finders. transmitting apparatus. par
ticularly arc converters. electron
tubes and electron tube apparatus.
a. plate supply. and radio telephony.
Numerous circuit diagrams are given.
The construction of antennae and
ground connections are described.

tains table Of dielectric constants.
copper-wira tables. wave-length ia
bles, and the International code. safe

formation regarding radio laws and
regulations. and'regarding radio pub
locations. including government pub
licat'ons. A complete index has been
added. The revised edition contains
over 500 pages and more than 800
Illustrations, many of them photo
graphs. The book is durably bound
in fabrikoid.
The first chapter deals with ele-
mentary electrical principles. the
second chapter with dynamo electric
machinery, ard four other chapters
deal with radio principles and prac-
tice and discuss the construction and
operation Of the important types of
radio transmitting and receiving
apparatus. the book assumes that
the reader has ad at least the major
part Of a high school course, but doe
not assume a knowledge of mathe-
matics beyond algebra. BY study
Of this book a person having some
general familiarity with electricity
can acquire a good foundation in the
principles of radio communication.
The first edition enjoyed wide
sale to mahy different classes of
readers, and was used as a textbook
by various schools and colleges as
well as by the Signal Corps.

LOCAL DRUG STORE

Ihe story in yesterdays Herald
ABOUT department stores selling ra-

Cleaned their first information from
The Herald account. But new de-
velopments occur almost too fast
Tor publication in a daily paper; the
news Is old stuff when 1t first ap-
pears in print.
At Christiani's drug store. Ninth
and the Avenue, last night a group
Of interested men and women or
dered radio sets over the same
counter where yesterday nothing
was for sale except the usual drug
store articles. such as soap, medi-
cine and hair brushes.
Through a Magnavox connected
TO the store. radiophone set just
Installed, came Al JoIson's voice in
"Yoo Hoo" from far-off Newark,
after which the loop aerial was
turned a bit SO that Norman s
Stamm in Pittsburgh would have
his say on the Junior Civic Club
and Its Aim" Another turn of the
loop and all heard NOF. the Ana
costa Naval Radio Station, send
music, then lecture by a member
Of the United States Health Serv-
ice. The program lasted resthan
two hours.
The soda-fountain clerk was over
worked. The place resembled
German beer garden-people drink
Ing light beverages and listening to
music. 1t sounded too good to leave.
so orders were taken by store clerks
for the delivery of radio sets to
homes. These orders cannot be
filled at once because sets are not
manufactured that fast, but until
the sets arrive as many as can con-
venieptly gather will be entertained
at the store almost any evening and
during several hours of the day.
The night trade in this drug store
will be on the increase. other drug
stores are contemplating the install
lation of radio sets.
Thus ends One more episode IN
the rapid development of radio ac-
tivity in the Capital City.

SATURDAY BOYS
DAY FOR RADIO

One result OF the present interest
In radio telephony and telegraphy
will be the desire aroused in boys
to stay at home and rig up new ap-
paratus so that all the family may
enjoy the concerts and speeches COM
ing, from the many broadcasting sta
tions throughout the country. Sat
urday is not a school day. 50 what
better activity can a boy be engaged
In than working with his radio set?
Just few years ago when wire
less experiments were confined to the
laboratory, inquisitive boys asked
questions about the new science and
wondered by they couldn't hear
things through the air. One boy in
small New England town decided
he would try to geather something
from the great atmosphere above his
own home. He read Marconi had
discovered that waves excited In the
air ut was moi known as ether then)
could be received on a wireless
long ways distant. Just as water
waves would resound upon a distant
shore. To receive signals these
waves conveyed, this boy read he
must have wire, now called an
aerial. on which the incoming waves
were received; little coil of wire to

Questions and Answers
Lead-in Wire.

o.-What kind Of insulated lead
In wire from antennae through wall
can / use? / cannot use regular
lead-in insulator.
A.-Steel-clad insulated wire will
be all right for receiving purposes
lsurance Demands.
o.-1s there anything in insur-
ance policies requiring lightning
switch in connection with wire
less receiver?
A.-The underwriters require q
suitable switch be placed outside
the house, so that the aerial car
be grounded.
Aerial Wire.
Q.-Is aluminium as good as cop
per wire for an aerial?
A.-No; copper is best. but alumi-
mum may be used.
Authorizations Explained.
OIL often read the letters CIV
and ICw. What do they mean?
A.-Cw refers to continuous wave
telegraphy. and concerns the con-
tinuous train of high frequency
waves radiated from an aerial
where vacuum power tubes, high
frequency alternators or arcs are
used for the production of high fire.
quency currents. Continuous wave
telegraphy is the most efficient form
of radio communication.
ICW means interrupted continu-
Gus wave telegraphy. 1t is rather
difficult to explain in simple Ian
guage the operation OF continuous
waves. especially with short wave
transmission. For instance. where
wave length of 800 meters Is be.
ing used. the frequency Of the, radi-
ated currents Is 100000 per second
This frequency Is far too high foI
any receiver to handle. and as II
is not always possible to utilize the
heterodyne or beat" system of re.
ception. the waves are modulated
by an interrupting device which op.
crates in a similar manner to the
voice modulation of continuous
waves in radio-telephony.
Such a device consists Of a rotat-
ing chopper" which Interrupts OF

result that a wide range OF musi-
cal notes can be obtained and re-

o.-what is a tickler. and what
does II do?
A tickler is an inductance coil
inductively coupled to the secondary
of the oscillation transformer and
directly connected in the plate cir
cult of your vacuum tube detector
