Some AdUice For the Radio Bug Who Is Just Starting 2
Begin With Crystal Set and by Purchasing Prope Equipment Much of It Can Be Used as the Anna
 teur Advances to the Audion Sets

We will endeavor, in this article, to assist the new amateur. To. help him start off on the right track when he first becomes interested in radio so that, instead of throwing away all of the equipment he has purchased for his first experiments, he will be able to gradually add on to the equipment he has purchased originally.
 We will give you rough estimate of the cost of the several sets you may be interested in and suggestions in connection with these sets.
 The first set. generally to be con Btructed by the new bug Is little crystal set. This is. certainly tho most inexpensive set having a little piece of sensitive mineral as a de- tector. This set Is good for about 25-miles and gives very clear and natural tone to the signals being re- ceived.
 This set can be made and installed complete with S6. head phones for $S.72, and when you graduate from this set you will still have the use of your head phones and your aerial so that your first trial has not been an expensive one and you have de- rived great deal of pleasure while Soai are beginning to learn something about wireless.
 This set. which costs $S.72 com plete, is the same set which Is made and explained down here at The Age Herald every Saturday morning at Il o'clock. Any of you who con- template making one of these sets or any of you who have endeavorcd to make one and are having trouble, come on down next Saturday morn ing and we'll be glad to get you strengthened out. You will also have a chance to get a set free complete and ready to install The material, for this set, is as follows:

BOYS DELIGHTED
 W|THRAD|O SETS
 FROM AGE-HERALD
Many Have Learned How to Make Their Own at Sat
 urday Demonstrations

The boys of Birmingham interested in radio have certainly gotten lots of pleasure from The AgeLHerald radio day each Saturday. Not only the ones who ha~c been lucky enough to go homo with a complete set ready to opt crate. which has been presented to one boy each Saturday, but many of the other boys have told us that they have learned how to make sets of their own and are now enjoying the nightly programs from WSY.
 The first Saturday we gave a com plete set to Claude Shill, 1122 Twen- ty-first street, north, and Claude ad- vised us that he had the set working fine the very first night
 The next Saturday the set was pre- sented to Henry Turner, 1415 Seven teenth, street, south. and we were told that Henry left for New York the fol- lowing morning with his set carefully packed. On the third \Age- Herald radio day Charles Lowery was the lucky boy, and on Saturday, July l., James Grlswold, 3915 Avenue c, went home with a complete set. presented to him by The Age-Herald. We have receive dthe following letter from James:
 Birmingham, July 3, 1922. Jack Turner, Radio Editor, Age
 Herald. City:
 Dear Jack-When I heard you read the. lucky number-2o2-las Satur- day, and found I had won The Age Herald radio set that Is given away by The Age Herald every Saturday, there never was a happier boy. could hardly wait for S:30 to come so could hear the concert begin. It Is working fine. I think The Age Herald people are the finest ever for giving away the radios, and I hope they will have success in everything they do. Yours truly.
 JAMES GRISWOLD.
 We are delighted that these sets are giving their owners so very much pleasure. Yesterday another boy went home with set No. 5. We are all delighted to have the boys here each Saturday. Come again next Sat urday and bring your friends with you. Saturday is your day at The Age Herald.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1922-07-09

Each week we are publishing the names of boys owning sets. In look ing over the list you will note that there are a great many more crystal sets than audions. It is natural to start with a crystal set. This Is good idea, but we want to see more boys graduate from the small sets to the audion sets, so that you will be able to hear the programs from distant points. Try, at all times, to improve on your set Go to see some of the other bugs and look over their sets. Radio bugs are glad, always. t7 exchange ideas. If you are using any new method or any. unique idea in connection With your set, let us hear from you so that we can pass 1t on to the other bugs.
 How many c. w. sets are there around Birmingham? We would be glad to hear from all boys owning c. w. sets.

It Is harder  reference than the c. w. stations If you are able to own a good sending set. do not use a spark transmitter. but start on a radiophone. You will. of course, find that 1t Is more diff cult to build, hook up and operate, but what is the fun of building set If 1t Is easy? A properly tuned radiophone causes little interference whereas a spark station can not be tuned so sharply. Let us hear from the boys who have c. w. sets, and those who are building these sets.
 W. D. M, the broadcasting station of the Church of the Covenant, In Washington. D. C., was probably the ' first church to broadcast sermons and services regularly. Tho power used is 105 watts on 360 meter wave length. Services are broad casted regularly each Sunday morn ing and evening.
 ". W. K, operated by the 1ost of- flee department, Washington, D. C., broadcasts weather and market re- ports on 1160 meters each day at and s:30 a. m.. and at 4, 6;30. ' and $50 D. m. standard central time. Four 25o watt tubes are used.

THE RISE OF RADIO


 Arthur Ruhl. in Leslies Weekly.
 The present popularity of the wireless telephone began with the establishment of powerful broad casting" stations which send out a regular daily program of news, spe- cial talks of various sorts. sermons and music The waves are flung out into space, they spread in concentric circles just as the waves spread on q quiet pond when stone is flung Into the water, and all the individual has to do is to hang up his aerial wire. attach 1t to his receiver and anything he can pick up Is his No records to buy no thought or bother. but something going on every hour on the hour, and in the evenings q regular concert. And as receiving machines which can pick up every thing within a radius of about twen- ty-five miles can be bought for as little as S25, or even S15, while more delicate receivers have picked up messages sent out from New York as far away as 1000 miles west of San Francisco (the West ern Electric company was the trans hitter in this case and the matter was intercepted by the steamship J. of wireless telephony is not difficult to understood.
 Every transmitting station broad casts on different wave length Thus the Westinghouse station at Newark, N. J., one of the best known WIZ is it's call letter-transmits on what Is known as a wave length of 360 meters In order to hear what WIZ has to say you must tune your receiving set to the 360- meter adjustment. T the machine Is tuned to a lower wave length, you might. for instance, pick up the message of some less powerful, nearby amateur.
 Unless there is some sort of regu- lation of transmi ssion, unless it is understood who is to do the trans hitting and at what wave lengths, there will, obviously, be hopeless confusion. As MT. Hoover put it, If 10,0o0,000 telephone subscribers are crying through the air for their mates, they will never make a june tion; the ether will be filled with frantic chaos, with no communica- ton of any kind possible"
 In other words, the wirelss tele- phone has one definite feature, and Niiot ID lVt tAC cpi Ndtu Oi tcItstiu Pf C- determined matter of public interest from central stations. The material must be limited to news to educa- cation. to entertainment and the communication of such commercial matters as are of importance to large groups of the community at the same time.
 It Is therefore primarily a ques- ton of broadcasting, ard 1t be- comes of primary interest to say who Is to do the broadcasting and under what circumstances. and with what type of material. It is inconceiv- able that we should allow so great a possibility for service, for news, for entertainment, for education and for vital commerciaf purposes to be drowned in advertising chatter, or for commercial purposes that can be quite well served by our other means of communication.

they are to recogp themselves for the capital outlay upon he broad casting plant and the expense of maintenance.
 Questions of procedure among the various concerns might be got over by the official permission for more than the eight transmitting stations at present allowed. An authority has stated that 20 or more stations would not be impossible; but that difficulty has not yet seriously arisen. The postn aster generals po- sition is that he cannot move until the broadcastirg concerns make their recommendations, but it is under- stood that he still adheres to his decision that there must be no manufacturing monopoly.

 The radio editor enjoyed a visit last week from Julius Lowenstein of Nashville. Julius is real radio bug and was greatly interested in hearing of what The Age Herald is doing to create interest among boys interested in radio. He has a 1O-watt C. w. set at his home in Nashville and has been heard as far as Morse. Canada. His call is 5-A A NJ and his receiving set is a resenerative audio frequency two-stage.

 How about a picture of that set of yours? Send us a picture of your set, or, if you have no picture, bring set on down here and we will be glad to have picture made. We want to get pictures of the best scts owned by the boys. Let us have a complete description of the set, with the picture.
 During the summer months 1t Is rather hard to listen in on the statons very far away but a great many of the bugs. who own Audion sets are listening in each night on the splen- did programs sent out by the Atlanta Journal station, Atlanta, Ga. Their daily program Is as follows:

 After experimenting with this set the next step, usually with this set of an audion detector. When you start on this set you will be wise to purchase good inductance. The kind most amateurs would want is the short wave regenerative set. The builder has his choice of vRri- ometer or a ticl1ler coil. We greatly prefer the latter for radiophone con certs.
 This audion set can be constructed for about $40 if the amateur will build the cabinet and wind the coll This. the amateur. who has now had some experience, should be able to do and he will now own a set capable of receiving around 300 miles with favorable weather condi- tons, he should be able to hear much further.
 The next step Is the adding of amplifiers. These increase the volume and sound of the signals. These can be added to his set. Next comes the loud speaker Which will cost from $5 to S45 or they can be made at home. After the installation of the loud speaker you are now ready to sit back and enjoy all the concerts from the distant broadcasting sta- ttons.
