PERFORMANCE TEST METHODS
Rules Are Drawn Up by Bureau OF
Standards for investigation of
New Apparatus.

Owing to the very large demand
which has arisen for simple radio re-
ceiving sets. many retail dealers in
other lines Of work have taken up the
handling of such equipment. 1t is very
difficult for such dealers 70 decide
whether sets offered by the manufac-
turerS are of good or poor quality,
says Radio Merchandising. The whole
art is so new and some of the ques-
lions involved are so technical that
the problem presents considerable diff
ficulties
As consequence, the Department
Of Commerce, and particularly the bu-
reau of standards, has received a
great many requests for tests of such
apparatus. As it is impossible for the
bureau to conduct all the work Of this
nature which it would be called upon
to perform, it has drawn up rules coy
ering performance test methods which
are to be carried out by the Electrical
Testing Laboratories of New York in
cooperation with the National Retail
Dry Goods association, the latter rep
resenting the retailers Of radio receiy-
ing sets As the work develops sug
gestions regarding Improvements of
methods of testing will be subject to
the approval of the bureau of stand
ards.
The tests outlined include: lnyes-

design, simplicity of adjustment, rug
gedness, sensitivity, sharpness Of tun-
ing. wave length range and faithful
ness of reproduction in radio telephone

TIPS TO THE RADloIsT

DR.. MarcOni cites as one OF the
future benefits of radio the abil-
ity of a man to talk with his
wife without others being able to
listen in. Some of us who live
in apartments and have to listen
to the nightly dialogues Of the
Jarr family will hope that they
will arrange to use radio at no
late date.
No better example of the YER
satility of radio can be cited
than its use for transmitting
Chinese music.

A HINT FROM ITALY

The Fascist. Saviors Of Italy"
Is the opinion expressed by Joseph
Collins in The North American Re-
view. He regards this movement a
spiritual expression brought about by
the war, reaction from the tyranny
OF socialism which had paralyzed the
government. Mussolini the organizer
and inspirer Of it he thinks practical
and sincere with a genius for organi-
ization and lover Of his country.
Once an ardent socialist he left that
body because Of its attitude during
the war and he Is now striving to I'M
do some Of the mischief it had
wrought.
Among other results he found the
railroads. which formerly were a
source Of revenue become a public
burden. run in the interest Of the
operatives, the country taxed to make
up the deficit caused by the misman-

the lead Of McAdoo it easily might

Whatever may come out Of the
consideration OF ways in which II
may be practical for this country to
help toward the stablization Of

what may or can be done should be
formed in recognition Of certain evil

In the FIRST place there is Presi-

Of the legislative branch Of the
Government: his insrained belief
that the states and communities
should look after their own affairs
wherever that is feasible and not

Christmas

IT'S midnight in Judea, calm and still,
But suddenly, DER plain and hill,
An outburst of celestial light,
A multitude of angels bright
Appear. But bark!
There's music in the air
Lo, the Herald Angels sing
"Glory be to God on high".
Glory to the newborn King!
The Christ, the Christ, of Israels stem,
Is born today, in Bethlehem.
Shepherds on the mighty plain,
In wonder listening, from afar
Catch the glory-freighted strain
Peace on earth, good will to men,"
Filled with fear, the shepherds cry
10, in the East, his star we see,
Portent of his divinity
Well haste and 60 to worship him,
The babe, the babe, of Bethlehem.
Not these alone should worship Him,
But every nation, people, tongue
Join in one grand, united song
Of joyful, soulful praise to Him,
Our Christ, the babe of Bethlehem.
