pr. Charles P Stelnmetz. chief en- gineer for the General Electric com pany, is right. The people interested in radio are all wrong with reference to ether waves, says Mir. w. O. Ar ginger, manager in charge of Re- search Laboratory for the Flotation company of Arizona. whose labora- tory Is located at 925 Twenty eighth street, north.
 Mir. Arzinger states that an aerial. for receiving, Is useless, and, further more. he proved it to us, for he had us to listen in over his set and hear W. s. Y. very clearly. with no aerial. Tho aerial was then connected and no improvement was noted.
 'I am positive that those inter- ested in radio are all wrong with ref erence to ether waves" said MT. Arzlnger. 'I have been interested in wireless for many years and was with tho DeForest company over Is years ago. Afterward I became inter- ested In Notation systems, such as are used in connection with the graphite business to float the min erals or positive elements on top of the water allowing the negative ele- ments to sink.
 Now, strange as it may seem. it was while experimenting with this Notation work that | first came to realize that the one important thing necessary in wireless was good round. I found this to be true in connection with flotation experi- ments and applied it to wireless My experiments with wireless, since then, have proven to me that l was correct and while I have conducted these experiments but short time the results have been most gratifying. We must get away from this ether wave fal- lacy. What we do constantly get in, through the air, are hydrogen ions. These bring the messages to us and the reason we have more trouble in

NEW MATTHEWS
 STATION IS ABOUT
 READY COOPERATE
Donald Beatty Will Be in Charge of Station He Has Constructed
 Here

Donald Beatty, who is in charge of the radio department of the Mat tkews Electric Supply company of Birmingham. recently obtained very splendid results from tests he has been conducting with the future broadcasting station of the Mat thews Electric Supply company. Dur ing these tests he has received many phone calls from those who were list ering in, congratulating him on the splendid modulation and clearness. MT. Beatty, during these tests was using only the straight ground, with no counterpoise, together with two bulbs, and radiated 3ia amperes, This is splendid radiation under these conditions.
 The entire set was designed and constructed bw MT. Beatty, who has been interested in wireless for 6 long time and who holds govern ment first class commercial license.
 The Matthews Electric Supply company will start broadcasting as soon as the station is properly tuned and their regular government H. cense obtained MT. Beatty states that they will broadcast each Tues day. Thursday and Saturday evening and every other Sunday evening They also expect to send out a short program each morning and afternoon Broadcasting will be done on 360 meter wave length and gov einment reports, market and weather reports will be sent out on 4S5 meters and telegraphy on 200 and 275 meters. Each morning news will be sent out, very slowly, by code in order to enable this same news will be read over the radiophone.
 Mir. Beatty states that he expects to reach the Pacific Coast by telegraphy and hoped to reach over about as great a distance with speech transmission When completed, this station will orerate on nine 50-watt tubes, ( of which will be oscillators, modula- tors and one for speech amplifica- tion,} A generator capable of pro drcihg 1,50o volts is used for the plates.
 The antennae system, which was also designed and built by MT. Beat ty. is suspended between the top of .he Matthews building and the fChamber of Commerce, 20-foo. pole or one building and 40-foot pole on the other. Aerial is of the cage type, wires and 140 feet long, This is especially fine for radiation. A nection with this station and con nection wit hthis station and con sists of 8 wires suspended at the base of one pole and running to the side of the building. MT. Beatty IS to be congratulated on the very splendid construction of this station Ii is complete In every detail. The operating room is so designed that the best possible acoustics are oo- tained. This design eliminates any chance fo recho or other disturb ances that might interfere with the programs sent out from this sta tion.
 Br. Beatty states that he will ap- preclated any reports, from those who listen in on this station, as these reports will be of great as- sistance to him in his desire to give those interested in radio the very best possible results from the Mat thews Electric company broadcast ing station.

Boys Ask Questions Al
 Age-Herald Radio Parties

On Saturday morning, June "A. we had real bunch of radio bugs down here. Those boys wanted to learn how to halSe one of the Age-Herald sets and we were bombarded with questions and that's what we like. That's the only way to learn how to make a set. If you don't understand all about 1t, ask about whatever you want to know.
 After the set was completed all were excited to see who was goingl to be the holder of the lucky number. MT. Stanley held the winning number up and said No. II wins the set. Hot dogl That's mel came voice from the crowd and handsome young Charles Lowery, 14 years old of 1123 Elm street came edging through the crowd

and went home with the Age-Herald receiving set No. 3.
 If you were not down here yester- day morning, We want you to be here next Saturday. We want every boy interested in radio to meet with us every Saturday morning at II o'clock here on the fifth floor of the Age Herald building. One boy is going to win the set. Maybe you are the boy. At any rate you can surely learn how to make a set of your own and join the bunch ofsradio bugs who are fastening in" every night. We'll be looking for you next Saturday morn ing.

 The super-regeperative system vbich Is destined to revolutionize the re ception of radio-phone broadcast ing, was demonstrated before tiie Radio Club of America on Wednes- day evening by Maj. E. H. Arm strong, its inventor. The demonstra- ton was given in the Havemeyer tuilding, Columbia university, a short distance from the Marcellus Hartley laboratory. where 1t was developed.
 Dispensing with the more technical language he>vsed in the previous demonstration before the Institute of Radio Engineers. Major Armstrong went into a practical explanation of the working of his latest wonder cir cult for the benefit of those present.
 Before him on tables there were arranged two sets of apparatus em- bodying the principles of his new system and a model of his first rev olutionary radio invention-a regen- erative receiver with two stages of aud frequency amplification. One of the new sets was arranged for the reception of radio telegraph signals and tie other for radiophone broad casting.
 Details Given for First Time
 As result of the demonstration, I am in a position to give complete details concerning the new parts and a complete diagram of every part used in it. Under the circumstances. therefore. I propose to outline these before going into a description of the demonstration itself. The follow ing description and diagram are ab- solutely authentic and are published d herewith for the first time. The numerous so-called circuits and working directions which have been published and put on sale are. abso- lutely incorrect.
 In this particular story I am going to give the details of the system a3 it is applied to the reception of ra- dio-phone entertainment from the broadcasting stations. Used in tliis form it requires three vacuum tubes. each of five-watt rating. The third tube is an audio frequency amplific-.
 A glance at the diagram will en- able the reader to understand tho following description of the various parts. The coils shown at L-1 and L-2 are composed of the primary and secondary of the regulation short wave regenerative vario-coupler. The primary is L-1. but the secondary is used as the tickler coil, L-2 In this case it may be necessary to add a few turns to the secondary in order to get the best results.
 How Loop Is Connected
 The loop aerial is connected across the primary of the vario-coupler, aud

Diagram copy lighted, 1922) it should be tuned for reception at 360 meters. A three-foot loop will answer the purpose, but where clr- cumstances warrant a four-foot loop should be used. The loop can be tuned by having a clip connection that can be placed anywhere along one of the outer turns.
 In the diagram only one rheostat Is shown, but 1t is advisable to use separate rheostat for every tube. The coil L-3. shown between the de- tector and oscillating valves, is a duo-lateral coil of 1,250 turns. Any other form of inductance of the same equivalent value can be used in is place, but a duo-lateral coil is the handiest in form. The values of ihe various condensers are shown in the diagram.
 Coil L-4 is an open core choke coil with a total inductance of 10 milli- hsnries. Coil L-5 Is another duo lateral coil of 1,5o0 turns or it's equivalent.
 Enter Circuit Is shown
 It will be observed from the da- gram that there is filter system used in the circuit. This consists of the resistances RI and R-2 and the iron core choke coll L-6, together with the condenser C-5. An audio- frequency transformer. marked T in the diagram. is placed before the final amplifying tube. The values are given in the diagram.
 The filaments of the three tubes can be lighted from the same stor- age battery, but as these are five watt tubes. 1t must be remembered that they need seven and a half volts. therefore, an eight-volt battery should be used. Separate "B" bat teries must be used, but if the dia- gram is studied carefully it. will be seen that the "B" battery of the tele- phone circuit is led back to the first battery in order that total of from 160 to 200 volts is put on the plate circuit of the simplifying tube.
 The final detail of the circuit is the c batteries. These batteries are used for the purpose of putting a negative bias on the grids of the tubes. They can be the high voltage B battery type. made variable.
 System Is New
 The experimenter who tries this set out should bear in mind that he Is dealing with something entirely different from what he has ever, handled before. It will take a little time before he is able to get it ad- justed to it's best possible receptive condition, and he must investigate the cause of every extraneous noise he might produce by faulty adjust ment.
 When the circuit is properly aa- justed 1t gives forth clear and undis-

with two stages of amplification. The additional stage will make three stages of ampllflcation. What ad- vantages would this give me? F. s.
 A. The additional stage of ampli fication above your present two stages will increase the volume of sound, but will also increase the local noises in your set The latter will be increased to such an extent that they will overcome all the ad- vantages that you may gain In in- creasing the volume of the music and speech. More than two stages of audio-frequency amplification are really impracticable, and 1t is for this reason that you rarely see fAy diagrams showing 1t. although. of course. such diagrams have been printed quite a number of times. would strongly advise against the addition of the third stage.

 Mechanical equipment for bull lights fits well into the Mexican's notion of the fitness of things and the proper direction for development of efficiency. After an animal has met defeat, it has been the custom to have team of horses or mules drag him away. At Chihuahua recently, however. an American tractor was substituted.
 All the traditions were smashed. put everyone was highly pleased be- cause of the time which was saved before the next Inning" of the Mexi- can national sport could be staged.
