wave receiving set using yariometers ana two-stage audio- o-frequency ann plifier.
 Boothton recently enjoyed a radio concert over an experimental receiv- Ing station installed there. This was snort wave set using a tickler coil ana two-step amplifier. together With Magnavox loud speaker The croWd enjoyed several selections rom many parts of the country, but due to the location the signals would
 rade' very badly. In spite of this fact, however the Atlanta Journal and Constitution were heard Curing practically all of the program. The same thing was true of the Louis- Vile station (W. H. A. S). Memphis. Pittsburg, Kansas City and several others were also heard.
 Coleman Gillian 6 D. G.) recently constructed cage aerial for his 80 watt c. w. set. This aerial looks like 1t should give fine results for such set. The aerial has :. cage "leadin" also.
 Billy Lathem is getting very good results from his crystal set, and he should give much credit to his erial for these results. Billy has his aerial on two poles which are located on top of the Highland View apart ments. This not only makes the aerial a good one, but the building is itself on a hill, free from nearby objects that would interfere. Now, you fellows who live in apartments have the advantage on the others instead of the former condition. It used to be that boys who lived in apartments were slightly deprived of some of the pleasures of life, but now you fellows, if you are bugs" have a fine place to put an aerial without "skinning" up the tree as the others have to do, and then it is a higher clearer and better aerial In the long run.
 People have no doubt thought that the crystal sets which so many boys are installing were merely toys, but they are not used as such in many cases. Robert Morefield, 1925 Thirteenth avenue, south, entertains his grandmother each Sunday even ing with the chapel service rendered from w Y, the radiophone broad casting station of the Alabama Pow CT company. Robert has a crystal set.
 Roger Rice states that he is en- toying every night the local concerts which he receives over his crystal set. Roger tells us that his set is working fine. He lives at 1895 Thir- teenth avenue, south.
 Joe Hill Is one of the "bugs" who has grown from the stage of having a crystal set. and now has a short wave set. using vacuum tube.

Using a Loop on Crystal

c. Can a loop aerial be used with a crystal set? If so. please state the apparatus needed. and please give the hook-up for it.-W. D.
 A. loop aerial can only be used with a crystal detector when the re- ceiving station is not more than few blocks from the broadcasting station, and then only on condition that the broadcasting station is using at least 250 watts In the antenna. If you are not very far away from the station and cannot use an outside aerial, I would suggest that you erect an in- door aerial. This can consist of 150 feet of No. IS bell wire laid around the picture moulding of room in such a way as to get as wide dis tribution as possible. ground con- nection to the water pipe will have to be used in the usual way.
 Comparing Two Circuits
 c. May I ask how Armstrongs super-regenerative circuit compares with the regenerative circuit, with radio frequency units. in regard to distance7 Does 1t bring Chicago. De- troit, etc, to New York city, where the tests were made? Are there any good, reputable concerns making the new circuits?-W. c. R.
 A. Comparisons are always diff cult, particularly in radio. where varying conditions exist in each To- cality In addition to this. the super regenerative system Is so entirely new that 1t Is difficult to make any pre- diction regarding the distance that can be covered with 1t. As matter of fact, however. E. F. Butcher. well known radio engineer. in converse ton with me the other day, said that he had received clear and very strong signals from an amateur located In Port Arthur. Tex, distance of more than 2.000 miles, on a loop aerial, using two tubes with the super-re- generative system. The amateur In question was only using 10 watts. It will probably be from year to IS months before this system is placed on sale. This is due to the fact that there is quite lot of work to be done in refining 1t and placing 1t on standard basis. ready for quantity production.

Radios s AdUance
 in q Single Year

What radio did last winter was something that woke up the people. What radio has done this summer stirred the world. What radio will. do next winter is too great to estf- mate.
 The conditions of the atmosphere alone next winter will make every thing along this line twice as good as it now is and that together with the improvem ents that are coming faster than one can imagine will make broadcasting almost perfect When one thinks of the many things that have been done with radio it seems that the coming winter will be like dream. Very soon 1t will not be an odd thing for every house to have radio set and for every city to have a broadcastiing station of their own. In Budapest there Is a newspaper that uses wires only for sending out their news. This paper has no printing presses but only tell ephones which are sending from g o'clock in the morning to 10 o'clock at night. This 1t seems will soon be replaced by radio and save the ex- pense of keeping the wires In good condition.
 W. J. 2. last year broadcasted some or the 1ootpau game returns as the games as played, by running a private wire to the field. Several intercollegiate games were simul- taneously sent out last season.
 The worlds series games were re- ported by radio last year by men of prominence in this line.
 The Dempsey Carpenter fight was sent by radio at Seattle. Wash, by a newspaper.
 All these things happened last year when radio was practically nothing to what 1t is now. There IS no way of telling what we will De able to do with this in a year or two and even this year everyone Is waiting anxiously and not patiently

 New System Promising
 The post office stations have ai- ways been able to receive on vertf- cal loops. either multiple or single turns. when no work could be done on the ordinary transmitting antenna. This, of course. means getting the traffic through under bad conditions, a work which promises to be settled completely by the use of the under water, horizontal antenna. A great deal of development work is neces- sary to devise the best means of making the underwater loop uni directional There has been other work done in this line by other de- partments, hut further use of the loop ip practical work along with experimental work may produce better results. 1t is declared The underground loops used at such sta tions as North Platte, Neb.. are as u rule buried to the water depth under ground with 500 feet of wire on each side of the receiving set in a plane of the transmitting stations. The vertical loops used are either multi pie or single turns and as a rule cover an area of about 500 square feet.

On the Electrolyt,c Interrupter

Question-How can I make an cleo trolytic interrupter 1T. D. c.
 Answer-I would not recommend an electrolytic interrupter, as they were discarded several years ago. Their operation is by no means steady and they require a great deal of care and careful watching, How ever. if you desire to make one, you can do so by getting a glass or por- celain jar and immersing it in a lead plate of fairly large size and a plati- mum electrode covered with a porce- lain sleeve. You will have to very carefully regulate the amount of platinum exposed in the sleeve. The two electrodes will be covered with dilute solution of sulphuric acid. The electrolytic cell will then be joined in series with the primary of the induction coil. and the source of current. These cells will not function very well on potentials of less than 80 volts.

fortieth turn. the fourth at the six tieth turn. the fifth at the eightieth turn, the sixth at the one hundred and fifty ghth turn, the seventh at the two hundred and fifty-third turn, and the eighth at the four hundred and fourth turn. Those, of course. will be joined in series to your present inductance.
 It will undoubtedly be necessary for you to increase the number of turns on the tickler coil, and I would suggest twice the number.
 How to Make Vario-C Coupler
 Question-Will you please help me on the following parts for my set: l. How to make vario-coupler. g.. How to make a variometer?-T. D. C..
 Answer-1. A short wave vario- coupler can be made with 80 turns of No. 22 D. c. c. wire wound on a tube four inches in diameter. The rotor can be either ball type or tube type and should have 50 turns of the same sized wire. The primary wind ing should be tapped each turn for the first eight turns and these turns connected to a switch, and then the succeedings turns should be tapped off in groups of eight, each attached to another switch. 2. A variometer is made in four sections forming two coils, each comprised of two wind ings. The stator winding should have about 25 turns on each section and the rotor winding the same, using No. 22 wire.
