The large commercial broadcasting
stations operate on wave length of
$50 meters and have carrying range
of 200 to 800 miles. In amateur
transmission the wave length is re-
stricted to not more than 200 meters
to prevent, SO far as possible, the
confusion of messages in the same
locality.
(Tomorrow's article will explain
how radio messages are received)

Radio Apparatus
Of the. several types of sending sta

shows one that has been designed by
the u S.. Bureau of Standards for
experimental purposes. The five
tubes on the instrument are electron
tubes, the most important part of the
apparatus used in radio communica-

To send out instrumental or vocal
music rendered by individuals, a
modified telephone transmitter
shaped somewhat like megaphone
but embodying the same principles as
contained in the ordinary telephone
transmitter, is used.
Voice Transmission
When the receiving apparatus is

caught by the instrument through
the telephone transmitter. The cleo

voice waves and the whole is silently
sent out into space to be caught and

TINFOIL REDUCES
HOWLS IN RADIO

INV A>J tAs MAIN
Here's way to reduce the howis
and noises coming through your re,
ceiving set:
Line your receiving set with tin
foil. Do not use glue, but paint the
interior with shellac and stick the
tinfeil to the wet shellac. Glue is
not an insulator..
After the tinfoil is stuck to the
shellac, it should be grounded. If
you cannot obtain tinfoil in any
store, that from cigarette packages
will serve the purpose.
In addition, place aluminium sheets
between the vacuum tubes and
ground these.
Those mysterious signals, says Pro-
fessor Ambrose Fleming, of London
University, are caused by the friction
of the rotating globe against the
great outside vacuum. s7s sr- 80

the Bureau of Biological Survey to
cooperate and they will furnish
100 gallons of poisoned grain provid-

team and it looks as if they were go
ing to capture the pennant this sea-

the Legion as usual and Thyret was
a very able catcher. The Elks had
about one pitcher for each inning,
tried out Cochrehan and Sharman,
but the invincible Legion boys proved
too much for any of them. Rausch

the Elks Everybody had lot Of
