AMATEURS SHOULD PLAY FAIR
Radio Inspector Schmidt Urges That
they Learn the Laws and
Regulations.

Nine out of every ten radio fans are
good sports, but the tenth is either a
fan with poor judgment or 'rotter."
Il is up to the amateurs to see that
restrictions are not imposed upon
them, by playing fair, says Radio In
spector L. r. Schmidt of the Ninth
district.
This can be done by observing GER
tain cautions and by becoming posted
on the radio laws and regulations. A
copy of these regulations may be OBJ
tained from the superintendent of doc
uments, government printing office,
Washington, d. c., for 10 cents. 1t is
worth while to spend 10 cents in order
to be square shooter" in the radio
game.
The great trouble with amateurs is
that when they want to send a mes
sage around a corner they put on all
the power they have with the hope
that some one in Texas might pick up
their message. The object should be
to use the minimum amount of power
to get the message to it's destination.
I'm all circumstances, except in case
Of signals or radiograms relating to
vessels in distress, all stations shall
use the minimum amount of energy
necessary to carry out any communi-
cation desired"
Amateurs should keep their wave
length to 200 meters.
They should use pure wave" or,
as Che regulations state, "if the send
ing apparatus is of such a character
that the energy is radiated in two or
more wave lengths, more or less sharp
ly defined, as indicated by a sensitive
wave meter, the energy in no one Of
the lesser waves shall exceed 10 per
centum Of that in the greater"
The wave must be SHARP" AS to
this the regulations state: "At all sta
tions the lOgarithmic decrement per
complete oscillation in the wave trains
emitted by the transmitter shall not
exceed two-tenths when sending dis
tress signals or signals and messages
relating thereto"
Amateurs frequently are at fault in
calling stations too often. The law
states that they can call three times,
send I'd e" once and sign their station
call three times: but often the anna
,eurs will send the calls a dozen or
:aore times.

TIPS TO THE RADIoiST

The higher the aerial the
stronger the signals. An increase
of five to ten feet in the height
CT the fiat top aerial will In
crease signals.
Addition of a variable con-
denser to the secondary or to
the primary Of u lOOse coupler
often helps to tune out the
undesired signals.
The sliders on tuning coils of
ten make poor contacts with
the slide rod. Thus much of the
signal strength is lost. You can
overcome this by soldering a
flexible wire to the slider.
Increase length Of spreaders
of two, three or four-wire aerials
from six to ten feet for best
results. Each wire should be
from four to six feet from its
neighbor. Two wires one or two
feet apart are no better than
one wire. Likewise four wires
on short spreaders are no bet
ter than one wire.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR
TROUBLE SHOOTING
How to Detect and Remedy the
Open Circuit, Short Circuit
and Leakage.

Radio circuits are subject to the
same ills that the ordinary power
circuits are subject to. However, to
cure them is not such a difficult task
as might be supposed, especially if
some logical procedure Is used.
If a receiver Is well put together in
the first place and all contacts and
other parts gone over once In a while,
there is no reason why there should
be any trouble. But the human be-
ing is prone to err, so that for the
"once In while" that is liable to hap
pen, this article will be devoted to
the explanation of what might happen
to simple receiver and the best way
TO fix it.
The usual troubles of the receiver
fall under one of the following three
headings:
Am open circuit.
, "a short circuit.
3-Leakage.
An open circuit can most easily be
detected by means Of a series lamp.
Nearly every one mas available the or
binary 10 volt lighting circuit Take
an ordinary extension cord and cut
one wire at any convenient place and
use these two ends as test clips or
tips. The extension cord is plugged
into the house lighting circuit at any
convenient outlet and when the two
cut ends are held together the lamp
will light as the circuit is closed.
When the tips are held open the cir
cult is open" and the light will go
out.
Suppose it is desired to test for an
open circuit in a tuning coil. Connect
one tip to one end of the winding and
the other test clip to the slider. AS the

The Better 'OIe.

A bad fire broke out in a garage on
the main automobile route between
New York and Boston and apparatus
from bali dozen nearby small towns
were rushed to the scene. When the
chief Of the first apparatus to arrive
dashed in, he was amazed to see the
proprietor sitting on a chair in the
middle of the flaming structure.
"FOr Pete's sake, get out quick ="
beloved the chief. 'This place is full
Of gasoline and it'll be blown sky-high
any second"
Cant leave" calmly retorted the
proprietor. "a guy said he'd drop
around in ten minutes and pay me five
dollars he's been OWN me for a
month";"

GREENsEA ISLAND BY Victor Bridges.
6. p. PutnRm's Sons
A YOUNG; En2lishman, stamped with
the historic name John Dryden,
while returning TO England from Bra
zil as second officer OF a merchant
steamer, receives letter Informing
him that he is the heir of the estate OF
his uncle, Of whom he knows practi-
cally nothing. 1t chances that a young
woman, Christine de Rods, niece Of a
somewhat decayed, at least oyerri ipe,
Brazilian, is also on the boat.
After an exciting evening ashore on
the Spanish coast, few hours that
end in danger for the two, Dryden tells
the girl of his inheritance. To his sur
prise she cvinces alarm and shuns him
during The remainder of the voyage.
He suspects that old de Roda is in
some wav concerned with the mystery
of his unexpected inheritance.
Dryden has become the heir to q
small island at the mouth Of an cstu
ery presumably on the Norfolk coast
He goes there and discovers that he is
the owner Of a peculiarly charming
house. the only building on the island.
Into the plot now comes one Manning,
an adventure glib and persua sive. He
cndeavors 10 induce Dryden to sell the
property. The latter refuses and soon
finds himself in q swirl OF trying ex-
perierces seemingly without cessation

and performs one or two stunts that

Of free verse can use fixed verse; ex-
