(WITn RADIO FANS,
SOCKET AERIAL
ELIMINATES STATIC

DR.. William q. Brown, Newman,
Ga, writes: "Just few words Of
appreciation to you for the wonder
full concerts you are giving to the
| radio fans and 'fannies.' I have a
Westinghouse receiving set in my
Office for my friends and patients,
and they all enjoy WSB, the radio
phone broadcasting station OF The
Atlanta Journal. I have been wait
ing to find something of a construc-
tive nature before writing that your
concerts were heard. I am giving
you the particulars of a hook-up
that has been Of benefit to me in the
partial elimination Of that old pest
called static. This may be Of some
service to others if you care to pub
lish it. To those that have tried
the electric light socket condenser
without success, this same conden-
ser is all that is needed, and I will
give the method as used by me as
follows: The material should first
be assembled, which includes three
pieces of ordinary lamp cord with
the insulation removed off Of each
end for about an inch, the cords to
be twelve inches long; three pieces Of
tin foil three inches square; eight
pieces of cambria four inches square,
the cambria to be well shellacked; two
dry pine boards one-half to three
quarters of an inch in thickness and
six inches square; three double-point-
ed mating tacks, and four wire
nails two inches long. Take one OF
the boards and draw q line through
the center, then on each side of this
line draw another line two inches
out, making a total Of three lines in
parallel. These lines will be num-
bered one, two and three. On line
No. 1 fasten one of the pieces Of lamp
cord with one of the mating tacks
so that the tack will be half an inch
from the edge of the board, leaving
about three inches of the wire on
the board. Now skip line No. 2 and
fasten wire on No. 3 as on No. /,
and on the opposite end fasten wire
on No. 2 as on one and three. This
makes two wires on one end and
only one on the opposite. Place on
this board two pieces of the cambria
and on top of the cambria place one
piece of the tin foil, then take wire
No. and place on the tin foil, max
ing sure that the wire is in contact
with the foil Place two pieces of
ShA+Ol Az AO1lV"lh5 Will 1Ol1 d1lu
wire as in No. / until all three wires
are connected to the foil and covered
with the cambria. Take the second
piece of board and clamp the whole,
using the four wire nails to do this.
With the above arrangement you
will be ready for the hook-up, which
is as follows: Wire No. 1 is fasten-
ed to the ground on the instrument,
wire No. to the aerial attachment
on the instrument, and wire No. 3
to the aerial lead-in wire. After
making the connection as stated,
tune in as of usual. With this con-
nection have been able to listen in
when with just the aerial alone I
could not get anything but static,
HEARD WSB PROGRAM
IN SPITE OF STATIC
John r. thurman, Atlanta: "Your
concert came in fine last night, ex-
cept for the static, but that was be-
cause of the condition of the air;
otherwise it was all right"

Fertilizer Men Would
Welcome Henry Ford,
Saws Atlanta Delegate

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS,
w. Va, June 15.-At the annual
summer meeting Of the Southern
Fertilizer association held here Tues
day, President J. Russell Porter, of
Atlanta, stated that if Henry Ford
could demonstrate how to manufac-
ture fertilizers more economically
than they are now being manufac-
tured, this knowledge would be well
coined by the fertilizer manufac'
turers: also, that Mr.. Ford or any
one else who may acquire Muscle
Shoals and engage in the manufac-
ture of fertilizers will be welcomed
into membership Of the Southern
Fertilizer association.
Mr.. Porter stated that his associa-
tons had been actively opposing the
tariff on potash, the burden of which
he said, would fall on the cotton
farmer who is not able to stand it.
Among the points stressed by him
was the sale of high grade fertili'
zers. which he said were the most
economical fertilizers; that in ex-
tending credit to cotton farmers,
those farmers who devote enough
acreage to food and feed crops to
meet their home requirements,
should be given preference. He,
however, urged the fertilizer manu-
facturers to get on cash basis as
soon as possible.
On the subject Of farmers coop
erative cash purchasing of fertili.
GERS, he advised that every accom-.
mediation within the range of sound
business. be accorded.
