TEXAS is A BIG STATE

The following clipped from exchange contains some
interesting facts well fancies regarding the size
of Texas:
Texas occupies all the continent of North America
except the small part set aside for the United States and
Canada. Texas the north of the Rio Grande, the
only dusty river the world also the only with the
possible exception of Trinity which is navgabe for mud
cats and pedestrians.
Texas is bounded the north by twenty-five thirty
states and the east by all the Of the world
except the Pacific and the south by the Gulf of Mex
leo and South America and the west by the Pacific
ocean, Milky Way and the real side of the universe.
If Texas chopped loose from the rest of the United
States at the Panhandle it would float into the

tated through Il complete circle, il
would be noticed that certain trans
mitting station would come in loudest
when the antenna was in a certain
definite position. That is, single
straight away antenna receives signals
better from one direction than from
others. This is illustrated in Figure
2, which shows the directional char
acteiistics of this type of antenna.
"a" shows the lead-in and ''B" the d.
rection in which the antenna is
stretched.
If a transmitting station Of con-
slant power were moved around the
receiver along the path of the curved
line &C." the signals from this trans
mitter would come in with equal in
tensity at all positions. Conversely,
stations from the direction I'D" will
be received over greater distances than
those in any other direction. Keep
in mind. the direction of the transmit
ting station from which it is desired to
catch signals and point the free end
of the antenna away from the station.
If the lead-in is brought in from the
center of the antenna, it's fundamen-
tai wave length will be decreased, and
its drectional characteristics will be
similar to that shown in Figure 3.

the amateur than the straight, single
wire antenna, as high in the air as it
can be placed, and about $50 feet long.
An antenna Of this sort, will give bet
ter results, in most cases, than any
other sort. 1t will take up less room,
and will not cut so heavily into the
owners finances
The function of the antenna for a
receiving set is to absorb the maxi
mum amount of energy radiated from
a transmitter. This means that it
must be so built and placed as to be
as efficient as possible. The factors
governing the type Of aerial to be
erected are as follows:
Amount of space available.
The amount Of money which Is to
be spent.
The wave-length range which is to
be received.
The distance from which signals are
sent.
An aerial possesses both distributed
capacity and inductance, which COM
bined give it defined period Of oscil-
lation. These oscillations will set up
wave motion the length of which is
related to the capacity and inductance
by formula which can be closely ap-
proximated by multiplying the length
Of the antenna in feet, plus the length
Of the lead-in in feet, by 1.22. This
will give the fundamental wave length
of the antenna.
No matter what kind Of antenna is
used it must always be remembered
that the leadin should be as short and
as direct as possible. In other words,
don't use up any unnecessary energy
received in the antenna to force a
way through a long lead-in to the re-
ceiver
If multi-wire antenna is used,
have the lead-in consist Of as many
wires as are in the antenna. These
wires should be wrapped together at
point few feet from the antenna and
brought into the receiving set as a
cable. Where this cable passes through
the walls of the building, it should be
insulated with porcelain tube or stand
ard electrose lead-in insulators.
Be careful to keep the lead-ln as
far as possible from electric light
wires, telephone wires, etc. If this is
not done, an Objectionable e0-cycle
hum may be heard in the phones,
caused by electric light induction.
The ground connection should also
be as short and direct as possible.
Service water pipes or gas pipes make
excellent grounds, and should be used
in all cases where available. All con-
nections in the ground lead-in should
be soldered, especially the connection
to the actual ground pipe. If this is
not done, the ground resistance will
so decrease the strength of the re-
ceived signals as to make thlm almost
inaudible.
If water pipes are not available for
q ground, bury from eight to ten feet

OF fine mesh chicken wire In a moist
spot and connect the ground lead to
this, or drive siX-fOot length Of gal
vanized pipe or copper rod into the
ground.
All outdoor receiving or transmit
ting antenna should be protected BY
some form Of lightning arrester or
switch, approved by the National Board
Of Fire Underwriters. This switch
must have at least capacity of 100
amperes, 600 volts, and must be sup
ported at least five inches from the
side of the building. The ground con-
nectiOn from the switch consists OF NO.
10 3. & S. gauge copper wire, also sup
ported five inches from the building.
If the antenna is to be used for re-
ceiving only, any one Of the numerous
approved lightning arresters now on
the market will be satisfactory. How
ever, these cannot be used for trans
mitting station, as the current put into
the antenna' by the transmitter is IN
effect miniature lightning discharge
and would escape to the ground
through the arrester.
One Of the most satisfactory an
tenna for short wave reception con-
sists of a single wire, 100 to $50 feet
long, supported at least 40 feet above
the ground, with the lead-in taken
from one end. This wire should be
placed so that it is free from all OBJ
structions, such as trees and houses.
If power or high tension transmits
sion lines are in the immediate neigh
borhood Of the antenna, it should be
placed as nearly at right angles to
the power lines as possible, in order
to reduce the 60-cycle induction.
No. ~ or No. II hard drawn copper
wire, or copper clad or copper weld
of the same gauge make a very salts
factory antenna. Furthermore, this
wire is strong enough to support It,
SELF and will stand up in weather Of
all kinds. Phosphor bronze wire or
standard copper cable has higher
tensile strength than a single wire,
and therefore long spans may be safe
ly made, but the receptional qualities
of these wires are not noticeably su-
periOr to the wires first mentioned.

1t is estimated that in one years
time from 100000 to 100000, new
radio receivers were installed in the
United States and from observation
II would appear that there were al
most as many different styles Of an;
tennae erected as there were sets
Installed. This, too, despite the fact
that the country was flooded with liter
ature telling each and every citizen
how to build his own set.
These cage fiat-top, E1ulti-wire, um-
brella, ETC., kinds Of antenna were de-
signed primarily for their sending
characteristics. Remember that, in the
beginning of radio, the man who want
ed to hear wireless signals had to
know quite bit about practical radio.
He had to know the Continental and
Morse codes, and in addition to be a
fairly decent sort Of mechanic. He
was, in short, the radio amateur, who
wanted to send as we'll as receive.
Therefore oil this early literature was

Since radiophone broadcasting was
first started, there has grown up an-
other army of radio enthusiasts,
greatly outnumbering the pioneer anna
teurs, who do not want to send at all,
but who do wish to receive. Therefore
much of this early literature does not
apply, or more correctly, all of it does
not apply, to the new generation.

How to Succeed-How to Get

Bv JESSIE ROBERTS
DO YOU WANT SUCCESS? ?

no YOU want to make a success of
your business life, or do you put
that second to having a good
time? Don't complain If you can't
have both. The girl who runs around
from party to party is not going to get
to her work in the best state for doing
it well. Her mind is not clear, her body
is not alert She is tired.
Are you willing to do the uninterest-
ing part of your. job well, or do you
slur what you don't like in it? Every
Job has its grind side. But to succeed
you must make that grind worth while
by doing it well. 1t is part Of the price
you pay for success.
You must keep in good physical con-
dition if you want success. You need
proper rest, enough sleep and healthful
food You need exercise in the open
air Keeping fit is part Of the price
you must pay for success.
A number Of girls regard an office as
sort of matrimonial bureau. Their
first idea is to be fascinating to the
male element But if that is what you
are after, don't say you want success
In your business, and don't be SUI
prised If you see other girls who do
want success get advancement while
you stay put.
Success is big thing. The success
