Electron Action
Governs Radio
Mystery of Science Known
Only by Effect in
Operation.

Electrons, electron how-what do
the terms mean? The action of the
vacuum tube depends in the num-
Der OF electrons present and their
rate of discharge or flow between
filament and plate.
An elctron is an exceedingly small
particle of negative electricity.
Numbers OF electrons surround the
atom. The number and symmetri-
cal arrangement of these electrons
determines the properties Of vari-
Gus substances. The atom, there
fore, according to present theories,
is not the basis of matter, but IL a
nucleus about which electrons re-
volve in symmetrical formation. A n
atom surrounded by sufficient
number of electrons is negatively
charged: hence the term negative
particle Of electricity" describing
the electron.
Inside drop of oil, one hundred
thousandth Of an inch In diameter.
20.000,000.000 electrons could move
about without rubbing shoulders.
One questions no W this is known
when no Photographic or recording
device can indicate the influence of
such a minute particle. Yet. when
men desire gold they do not take
into the laboratory a whole noun

mass is known and experimental

rather than In its definition.

the behavior OF the tube. This is
true of all electrical conductors in

TO HEAR

RADIO TONIGHT
Hour C o n c ert to Be

1t Is estimated that more than
100000 will hear the Marine band
tonight. when the Anacostia Naval
Distributing Station will send out
a concert by wireless, by the cele-
brated Presidents own" band.
directed by william H. santeimann.
the concert will begin at s o'clock
ano viii last for one hour. 1t will
include band numbers, marches.
classical selections, the latest jazz
plumbers and an orchestral selection
played by members of the Marine
band.
The first radio concert attempted
by the Marine band was broad
casted last week from the Anacostia
station. Because of doubts of the
naval officers in charge Of the sue
cess OF the experiment no public
announcement was made. The con-
cert proved complete success, how
ever, and several hundred letters
nave been received at the band
headquarters and at the office of
the broadcasting station Containing
enthusiastic praise. 1t Is estimat led
that more than a million amateur
operators have acquired the habit
OF listening in on the program of
the Anacostia broadcasting station
and the officers in charge believe
that the number will be doubled
by the announcement that the Ma
rine band is to play.
Letters thus far have been re-
ceived from points In Illinois and

new RADIO BODY
EXPECTED TOSTOP
FREAK" SENDING
Officials Look to Chamber
OF Commerce to Help
Stabilize Industry.

The disseminating OF freak"
uses of the radio broadcasting set
for political speeches. unscheduled
concerts, and out-of- the ordinary
ether conversations would now
seem a dehnite policy, not only of
government officials. but of radio
manufactures.
Through the newly organized
Radio Chamber of Commerce in
New York, oficials here see a ma
terial gain in progress toward a
stabilized radio art and industry.
The following distinct steps for
ward are seen by virtue of this
new type of chamber of commerce:
1. Marked simplincation In
construction OF radio receiving
sets.
2. A greater degree Of co-op-
Grafton among radio apparatus
makers IN the establishment OF
lower price levels.
s. A corresponding degree
OF cooperation among radio
broadcasters tending toward
an automatic solution OF the
congestion of ether trafic,
which has made necessary
conference under government
auspices.
This last feature OF progress. Of
fcials here believe. Is perhaps the
most valuable from the government
point OF view. II Is understood
the construction of the radio bill
about to be debated in Congress is
sufficiently loose TO extend Secre-
tary Hoover's discretionary powers.
A friendly supervision" over the
manufacture and types of radio re-
ceiving sets Is expected. The chief
concern OF the Department of Com
merct Is good order in the ether.
The fundamentally popular ap-
peal of radio. IL Is believed. will
Of itself keep the radio business
entirely democratic and free of
profiteering. although the universal
demand for radio apparatus would
ofrer the opportunity Of monopoly
Nevertheless the demand Is being
counteracted by an increasingly in
telligent public understanding Of
the principles underlying radio.
There Is consequent prejudice
against anyone who Is trying to
put one over" in the infant in
dustry.
1t is from this standpoint that
government officials look favorably
upon the Radio Chamber of Com
merce. for II Is the logical body to
place the new art on a serious.

about four ounces of plain. ordinary
liquid arvon; apply it at night when
retiring; use enough to moisten the
scalp and rub it in gently with the
finger tips
By morning. most if not ALL of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will completely
dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace of it, no matter
how much dandruff you may have.
You will find. too. that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop in
stantly, and your hair will be fluffy.
