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

Due to TIE great interest taken in ra-
do since broadcasting stations have
been started, many radio terms are
seer 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 Il
wave motion. Every one is familiar
with the wave motion set up on the
surface of n still body of water by the
dropping of Il stone into it.
Every time a point on the surface
of the waves goes through Il complete
set of motions and starts to repeat
those motions the wave is said to have
gone through Il cycle.
The number of complete cycles gone
through per second Is the frequency.
The human ear Is responsive to
sound ~frequencies up to n 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 FREE
Guencies above 10000 cycles, radio or
inaudlble frequencles-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 p%ropagates ra-
do energy in all directions.
The medium that transmits the cleo
tro-magnetic waves is the same me
dunn 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 1t 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.
quenc If the frequency is high the
wave length is short. ON the other
hand if the frequency is low the wave
length is long. Numerically the wave
length Is equal to the distance tray
eled by the wave in one second divided
by the frequency. Suppose, for eX-
| ample. that ii were desired to know
the wave length of nm electromagnetic
wave having Il frequency of $4,000
| cycles. electromagnetic waves travel
at the same speed as do light waves,
that is, $4,000 miles per second. Di-
viding the $4,000 by $4,000 he wave
length would be DOB miles or 396
Yards. In radio work it is measured
in meters. a meter is equal to ap-
| p~roximntely IL yards. Converting 396
wards into meters the wave length
would be 396 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 a frequency
of 3 5000 cycles.

HAWAII WANTS RADIO NEWS

DISTINGUISHED Helper.

In San Francisco the other day a
white-haired elderly gentleman dressed
IN blue denims entered a building be-
ing converted into a clubhouse for the
American Legion. He locked around
c~uriously and then accosted the man
in charge Of the volunteer workers.
Il hear you are trying to fix things
up q bit for your opening party" he
said. "Can l help?
"Sure. pitch In" was the answer,
w%hereupon the elderly gentleman
pitched in" and for more than an
hour labored with hammer, saw and
broom.
Suddenly there was n new arrival
and the elderly gentleman was inter
rupted in his work with "Why, Cen

PRINCIPLES

In a r%adiophone transmitter there
are two requirements hat must be
fulfilled. First, there must be a source
of high-frequency current, say, between
$1,000 and 100000 cycles so con-
neeted to an antenna and ground sys-
tenn that energy in the form of electro
magnetic waves will be radiated. Sec
ond, there must be some method of
controlling this hlgh-frequency current
or modulating It SO that the variations
in the amplitude of tho h~igh-freQuency
current will he directly proportional
70 the voice or music to be transmitted.
The high-frequency current is known
as the carrier-waye and its 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 Mt the transmit
ting station.
1t Is the frequency of the carrier
wave that determines the wave-length
on which a r~Gliophone station is trans
mitted. BY experiment it has been
found that electromagnetic waves
travel at the same velocity that light
waves travel, that is, $4,000 miles per
second. Wave-length Is the distance
between. any two similar points on two
successive waves; for example, the dis
lance from crest to crest of any two
successive waves in the same direction,
measured in meters, L unit of length
equal approximately to n and one
tenth yards. Converting $4,000 miles
to meters, the equivalent Is 300.00O.OO %
meters. The length of an electro-mag-
netic wave is equal then to 800 100000
divided by the frequency. Suppose a
station was transmitting on n wave
length of 800 meters. The frequency
of the carrier-wave would be approx
mately $4,000 cycles.
The portion of n radio receiver that
changes the wave-length Mt which 1t
Is electrically resonant Is called a
tuner. Suppose that "A" station trans
mits on a wave-length of 200 meters
and "B" IN a wave-length of 800 me-
ters. By adjusting the tuner until the
constants of the receiver make 1t cleo
trically resonant to a 200-meter wave
or a 360-meter wave, either of the two
stations can be picked up, but both
stations cannot be picked Up simulta-

CAPES AND CAPE WRAPS;

NN MANY a sunny day gentle

shoulder to confiding mortals. But we
have long ago learned to expect it,
and thereby hangs the tale Of wraps
for spring. Every year we must pre-
pare ourselves for emergencies of chill
ly weather that drops In on a winter
weary world just when the calendar
Is holding out every promise of balmy
days. Since we must have wraps we
demand that they interpret spring and
be smar- and even swagger.

evident that the smart set among

Radio Used in scout Training.

Radio now is Il prominent part in
the training of boy scouts. In many
parts of the country amateurs report
that regular classes have been formed
to teach the boys the fundamentals Of
principles employed in radio transmits
sion and receiving, and the continental
wireless code, so that the scouts will
be able not only to receive and send
messages of all sorts, but also that
they may be able to construct their
own outfits.

How One Editor Uses Radio.

The editor Of a paper in an iso-
lated town in the northwest is using
the radio in Il most ingenious and eff
fectlve way. An aamateur radio friend
in a big city 80 miles away buys the
latest editions OF the city papers as
soon us they are off the press, reads
the best news into his transmitter, and
q typist in the country Office copies the
news ms it comes in over the office re-
ceiver. The editor, through this in
genious plan, is always First With
the Latest" in his home town.

Envy of Talent.

As to clever peoples hating each
other, | think a little extra talent does
sometimes make people jealous. They
become irrltated by perpetual attempts
and failures, and it hurts their tem-
pers and dispositions. Unpretending
mediocrity is good, and genius Is glo-
rIous; but a weak flavor of genius In
an essentially common person is detest-
able. 1t spoils the grand neutrality or
a commonplace character, as the rms
