FOR NOVICE TO
HEAR BROADCASTS
All He Needs Is a Single
Strand of Wire Slung 30 to
80 Feet Above Earth.

To the novice trembling on the verge
of entry into the radio world the aerial
is the most formidable OF the obstacles
to be surmounted before the sweet
strains OF w u enter his ears by way
OF his own set.
The greatness Of the difficulties which
he must overcome depends upon many
and varied things. If he is an apart
ment dweller. the temperament OF his
landlord, the shape and height of the
roof, and the nearness of power lines
or telephone wires all enter into the
matter If he is a suburbanite, the
length of his backyard. the nearness OF
some other support. preferably higher
than the house end of his antenna. all
enter into the matter.
The radio amateur who desires only
to listen to the broadcasts sent out by
Newark. Pittsburgh, Springfield or Med
ford Hillside, need not lose too much
sleep and hair over his problem for all
he needs is a single strand Of wire, pre-
ferably between i75 and 200 feet long. Of
copper. phosphor-bronze. or aluminium.
slung at from thirty to fifty feet above
the earth.
A somewhat more elaborate antenna Is
needed by the novice who hopes some
time to go into the sending end of the
game, bat these are not so terrifically
difficult as they may seem after listen
ing to the chatter OF expert amateurs.
Three types of antenna. the inverted
l.. the r and the umbrella. which are
sufficiently efficient for the work con-
templated.

BROOKLYN RADIO SHOW
TO START TOMORROW
Army to Take Leading Part
at Dean Street Arnory.

So many radio enthusiasts live IN
Brooklyn, where opportunities for aerials
arc better than in Manhattan. that that
borough VIII have its own radio show
this week.
Tomorrow afternoon at o'clock an
exhibition OF all kind of radio equipment
will be opened in the armory of the
Twenty-seventh Division. Signal Corps,
in Dean street near Washington ave-
nue Tho show will continue all week
from . to III y. NJ
In addition to the commercial exhibits,
the army has a truck. rugged with an
aerial for field service and a number OF
other pieces of equipment of interest TO
the radio fan. The concerts and lectures
broadcast by stations at Newark Fort
Wood, Schenectady and elsewhere will
be reproduced on loud speakers by the
army.
Many radio experts will be present TO
help those newer TO the field to solve
problems Of all descriptions. The exhi-
bition ls under the direction OF the Radio

amount OF current at comparatively
high voltage.
In the case OF the Tungar bulb the
electrons emitted by the heated fila
ment ionize the gas. thereby making It
conductive. This onized gas acts as
the principal current carrier, with the
result that the bulb operates with very
much lower voltage drop (5 10 10 volts)
and is capable OF passing a current OF
several amperes.
The action of the bulb on alternating
currents is similar to that Of one way
valve or a flow of water. During one
half OF the cycle electric current flows
through the bulb from anode TO cathode
that is, from the plate to the filament
But during the other half of the cycle
the current cannot flow back Hence the
term half wave" rectifier.

six volt battery at two amperes. or
twelve volt battery at one ampere. The
five ampere outfit will charge a six

fier and go away and leave II to work

The Inverted 81" Type.

aerial. This type receives or transmits
waves equally well In all directions, but
is not very good radiator in any direc-

Of course. carefully insulated from both
the pole and the stakes at the foot, hold

There is nothing particularly myste-
rious about the aerial or its insulation.
The object of the aerial is to intercept
feeble radio waves. These waves induce
in it a current OF feeble voltage. but
OF high frequency oscillation. Naturally
this wire should be a good conductor
and should be insulated from its sup
ports. SO that the whole energy OF the
current may be led to the receiving
apparatus which is to translate II into
sound, slight or great, according to the
apparatus. Greater care in insulation
should be taken il the aerial Is to be

fully insulated and should be kept clear
OF all distractions.
The lead-in should be brought down
to a knife blade switch which may d.
rect the surrent either to the set or
through an outdoor connection to the
ground. This switch should be thrown
to send the current ON the latter path
when not in use or during thunder

the house should be connected perma-
nently to a ground. preferably TO q

VAUDEVILLE CONTRACTS
FORBID RADIO SINGING
Broadcasting Cuts Into At
tendance at Theuters.

From Chicago has come the news
that singers on vaudeville circuits are
prohibited In new clauses in their con-
tracts from singing for radio telephone
broadcastng stations. According to
the Western Vaudeville Managers As
sociation the best efforts OF the sing
ers are needed for the stage and not
for the ether
One reason for the prohibition is be-
lieved to be the fact that the increas-
ing number of radio enthusiasts Is cut
ting perceptibly into the attendance al
theaters. Many former ardent movie
and vaudeville goers are now occupy
ing free seats at home and getting free
music and other entertainment via the
air route.
In New York city there are also a
few signs that theaters either feel now
or anticipate drop in attendance be-
cause OF radios popularity.

Several tea rooms have installed re-

The New York herald., 1922-04-02

The sudden popularity OF radio, which
has showed under manufacturers Of
wireless equipment everywhere. has also
stimulated the demand for other electri-
cal equipment. including. of course, stor-
age batteries.
The General Electric Company, which
manufactures much radio equipment, is
finding also a big demand from radio
enthusiasts for the Tungar battery
charger, a gas filed rectifier which for
mery was used principally for recharg-
ing storage batteries used on automo-
biles. The smaller sizes, like the two
and five ampere capacity chargers. are
most wanted by radio operators or
their batteries at home.
The electrician theory on which it
works is similar to tina. OF the two ele-
ment vacuum tube. which has done so
much to make radio telephony possible.
The essential part is a bulb. or glass
tube which contains cathode and an
anode. The cathode is a short tungsten
and the anode--or, in terms of
radio. the "plate"-is a graphite disc.
After being exhausted of all air tile
bulb Is filled with argon. an inert gas.
This is the chief difference between the
Tungar bulb and other two element
the kenetron.
The vacuum tube depends for opera
tion on the emission from an incaades-
cent filament of small particles of cleo
tricity, electrons. negatively charged.

Conrad settled. was part Of the ira
dition in the families from which
Alvin York came. The tragic his
tory of William Brooks, from Michi-
Nancy Pile. was one of the reverbera-
tions of the civil war among the
Cumberland Mountains. Brooks was
horribly murdered to avenge the
death Of Preston Huff. the desperado,
and his wife came back from the
North, where she had fled with her
baby girl, and ended her life with
her own people in the valley. And
at the age of Is this baby girl, grown
to be Mary Brooks, who had the
piquancy and wit that had made her
mother the belle of the valley, mar
ried William York. the son of Uriah
York. A home was built for them
beyond the branch, beside the old
spring, where old Conrad made his
first camp In the Valley of the Three
Forks O. the Wolf" and Alvin York
was their third son.
The craftsmanship of these noun

high that all the world knows about
it now. And the unerring skill,

American rifle shoots five times, and
a clip was gone before the Germans
realized that the fire upon them was
coming from one point.
"They centered on that point.
Around York the ground was torn
up. Mud from the blowing bull
let's besmirched him. The brush was
moved away above his head and on
either side of him, and leaves and
twigs fell all over him. But they
could only shoot at him. They had
no chance to take deliberate aim.

along that machine gun barrel
would come an American bullet,

on the ground squirmed under the
fire that was passing over them.
Their bodies were in tortuous motion;
but York held them there; it made
the gunners keep their fire high"
The officers recall his quaint and
memorable answer to the inquiry on
the tactics he used to defend him
self against the Boches who were in
the gunpits, shooting at him from
behind trees and crawling for him
