electrical resonance. Stations trans
hitting on any wave-length other than
800 meters will not cause a current
to be set up in the receiver.
The portion of radio receiver that
changes the wave-length at which it
is electrically resonant is called a
tuner. Suppose that "a" station trans
mits on a wave-length of 200 meters
and "B" on wave-length of $50 me-
tiers. BY adjusting the tuner until the
constants of the receiver make it cleo
trically resonant to a 200-meter wave
or 360meter wave, either of the two
stations can be picked up, but both
stations cannot be picked up simulta-
neouSly. This is the reason that more
than one transmitter can be operating
at one time and yet only one can be
heard on receiver without interfer-
ence from the others.
The other necessary part Of a radio
receiver Is the detector. The function
Of this portion of the receiver Is to
utilize the small currents in the tuner
that are set up by a transmitting sta
ton and make them audible through
the medium Of telephone receiver. If
the telephone receiver were connected
directly to the tuner the high-frequency
current would not operate the dia-
phragm of the receiver and even II the
diaphragm were set in motion it would
be too fast a motion to be picked up
by the human ear.
In simple receiver the detector u.s.
ually consists of two pieces mineral
in contact or a piece of mineral in con-
tact with a metallic spring. Either
combination is known as crystal de-
tector. A detector of this type is moth
ing more than rectifier; that is when
an alternating current is applied at the
terminals the current is allowed to
flow only in one direction.

The high-frequency current Is known
as the carrier-wave and it's function
is TO radiate into space IN the form Of
electromagnetic waves and by its va
ration in amplitude carry with it the
variation in the tone at the transmit
ting station.
1t is the frequency Of the carrier
wave that determines The wave-length
on which a radiOphone station is trans.
mitted. BY experiment it has been
found that electromagnetic waves
travel at the same velocity that light
waves travel, that is, 10000 miles per
second. Wave-length is the distance
between any two similar points on two
successive waves; for example, the dis

THINGS BEGINNERS
MUST LEARN FIRST
Explanation of Terms Used in
Radio and of Its Basic
Principles.

Due to the great interest taken in ra-
dio since broadcasting stations have
been started, many radio terms are
seen and heard that may be unfamiliar
to the novice. Some of the most COM
monty used terms are explained and
defined below.
Like light, heat and sound, radio
energy Is propagated in the form of a
wave motion. Every one is familiar
with the wave motion set up on the
surface of a still body of water by the
dropping of a stone into 1t.
Every time point on the surface
of the waves goes through complete
set Of motions and starts to repeat
those motions the wave is said to have
gone through cycle.
The number of complete cycles gone
through per second is the frequency.
The human ear is responsive to
sound frequencies up to few thousand
cycles per second but is not capable Of
responding to the higher freQuencies
encountered in radio. Arbitrarily a
frequency of less than 10000 cycles
has been called an audible frequency
one which can be heard-and frei
quencies above 10000 cycles, radio or
lnaudible frequencies-because they
cannot be heard by the human ear.
The particular type of wave which
propagates radio energy is an electro
magnetic wave. All of us have seen
bits Of iron and steel attracted by the
little toy magnets made up in the form
Of horseshoes. This attraction of the
magnet for the bits of iron and steel
showed the existence of a magnetic

field about the tips of the magnet and
this same kind of a field propagates
the electromagnetic force, except that
unlike the toy magnet, its power comes
off in the form Of wavy motions. This
electromagnetic force propagates ra-
diO energy in all directions.
The medium that transmits the cleo
tro-magnetic waves Is the same me-
dium that transmits light-the ether.
This medium is supposed to fill all
space, even that occupied by fluids and
solids. Little Is known about its prop
critics.
In radio it is more common to speak
of wave length than frequency. The
wave length of any wave motion is the
distance between any two successive
crests in the same direction. The
wave length depends upon the fire.

wave length Is short. On the other
hand if the frequency Is low the wave

by the frequency. Suppose, for ex-
ample, that it were desired to know
the wave length of an electro magnetic
wave having a frequency Of $4,000
cycles. Electromagnetic waves travel
at the same speed as do light waves,
that Is, $4,000 miles per second. d.
viding the 10000 by $4,000 the wave
length would be .223 miles or 1896
yards. In radio work It Is measured
in meters. A meter is equal to APP
proximately IL yards. Converting 396
yards into meters the wave length
would be 1906 divided by IL or 800
meters. This Is the wave length on
which KDKA operates. 1t also means
that the electromagnetic waves sent
out from this station have frequency
Of $4,000 cycles.
FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES

are two requirements that must be
fulfilled First, there must be source

$1,000 and 100000 cycles so con-

State Fair Horseshoe Tournament

Although the State Fair Board
has already planned more novel and
interesting events for the last day
of the Ohio Fair this year than were
ever attempted before, arrangements
have just been completed to add one
more big outdoor event.
This will be statewide horse
shoe pitching tournament, with both
amateur and professional classes, to
determine just who is the open pro-
fessional and amateur champion of
Ohio.
The competition is open to any
bona fide resident of the state
Eliminations will be started on
Friday afternoon, Sept. ], at 2
O'Clock in both classes, and contin-
ued until dark, or until all players
have had a chance to qualify for the
finals.
The finals will be begun on Sat
urday morning, Sept. 2, at 10 o'clock,
and continued until the champions
in both divisions have been selected.
There will be suitable cash prizes
for the professionals, and cups, med
ais and merchandise prizes for the
amateurs. The first cash prize in
the professional event will be $50
and a gold medal, emblematic of the
State Championship. Second prize
will be $35 and silver medal, with
cash prizes for the first eight men,
and medals in addition for the first
three. The amateurs will receive
cups, medals and merchandise priz-
es, valued in the order of players
finishing position, and 1t is expected
that the first Is men in the amateur
division will receive an award of
some kind The first IL will posi-
lively receive prizes, and as many
more as the entry list will justify.
The group plan will be used in
eliminating players. Entrants will
be grouped into squads of eight
each. In this squad. each man will
play each other man one game. The
two high men in each squad will go
