TUNING AFFECTS
NEARBY STATIONS

Where a, number of local stations
broadcast at about the same hours
and wavelengths, as Is the case in
Washington. II is dificult to keep a
set tuned-il on any one station.
In the ordinary spark receiving
sets equipped with variable con-
denser and inductance, very fine ad-
justments are possible. By main
tanning fairly loose coupling inter-
ference can Do cut out to q consid-
cradle extent.
In the sets most generally used
today, namely the radiophone re-
ceivers. two persons near each other
and with aerials of nearly identical
resistance experience difficulty in at
tempting to tune to the same wave
length and the same station. This
is because the adjacent aerials are
receiving almost equal amounts of
energy from the transmitting sta
ton, resulting in reduced signals in
.ach serial.
The modern regenerative sets are
in one sense small transmitting sets
within themselves, for there is a
transfer of energy back into the re-
ceivinG circuit. This better explains
the effect on your neighbor's receiver
when you are tuning. an effect which
is very noticeable if you make any
sudden variations OF coupling or ca
pacity.
The better plan when signals be-
come weak is to tune to another sta
tion and wavelength. II this op-
Grafton is done suddenly you. inter-
fere seriously with your neighbor.
You will get better results and also
interfere least with his, receiving IL
you are careful not to let your tube
oscillate, or. in practical terms. keep
below the point where you hear a
click in the phones and splashy
signals.
The newer radiophone sets en-
ploying considerable amplification
permit greater degrees of tuning. in
some instances over a range from
800 meters to $500 meters. With
such set there is no necessity for
remaining on one wavelength or
transmitting station and as there are
a number of stations broadcasting
each evening you may so tune as to
have an undisturbed concert. 1t is
vel to remember that the vacuum
tube Is generally thought to be the
most sensitive electrical device.

stores still retain the greatest, vol,
ume of trade in this line. The de-
mand for advice aud suggestions
has been incessant. forcing the cleo
tricians on duty to turn their ao-
tivities from wing to wireless.
Many of these have much to learn
in the new art.
The Radio CORPORATION. ,l110 Con-

renovated its Offices and Is now pre-
pared to continue its extensive ra :

reaches practically every quarter

is always in operation from con-
tinent to continent and from ship
to shore.
Local dealers who are In New
York purchasing radio equipment
are: A. J. White, of White and

tinental Electric Company. The de-
mand for radio sets and supplies
has been SO incessant the past few
weeks that nearly all local stock $

-Listening-in concerts have become
so popular around town that the

been able to accommodate the

cause they believe the best demon

Installation these stores would
naturally have, and by visiting diff
ferent stores they will become
familiar with the different makes

to be fully convinced good music

POLITICAL TALKS
BARRED ON RADIO

Broadcasting by naval radio sta
tions of lectures and speeches. po-
litical or otherwise, is barred by an
order issued by the Secretary of the
Navy yesterday, effective until a
definite permanent policy is decided
upon. This order. however, does
not include the broadcasting OF con-
certs and other music purely for en-
tertainment.
This action follows the recent
controversy over the use of the ma
val radio for broadcasting political
speeches. the specific instance which
caused the most comment being the
use of the radio to send out a po-
litical speech by Senator New re-
Gently Secretary DENLY had prev
iously stated that there were no
particular restrictions, but that
Democrats were given the same op-
portuRity to use the station as Re
publicans.

tional defense act cannot be car
ried out"
Pointing out that the mission OF
the regular army has been un-
changed since the national defense
act was passed in 1920, the general
called attention TO the fact that
the force has in that time dwindled
from 100000 TO 10000 men.
1T simply cannot do the work
with less" he declared Some
thing must give way. either the
training or the citizen soldier. which
VIC regard as our principal business.
or the coast defenses and ordinary
work Of the regular army. IT'S readi-
ness for strikes and other emer-
gencies. There is a minimum limit
below which you cannot go with
safety"
The air service. Gen. Harbord
said. can hardly he efficient below
$4,000 men; the cavalry and field
artillery cannot safely be diminish
ed. Comparing the strength Of the
pre-war army with its present
strength. the general said:
Air Service Strength
Then we had sixty-fve regi-
ments OF infantry and now we have
thirty-eisht; then twenty-five cav
airy regiments, and now fourteen
then twenty-one regiments OF field
artillery and now eighteen: but Of
course we have an air service,
chemical warfare service, tanks,
motor transport. and many new
units which are necessary under our
mission. but reduce the strength of
the fighting units Of the line"
PERHAPS the greatest apprehension
IS felt by those who are most inter
ested in the training of the national
guard, the citizens reserve and the
organized reserve. Major-General
George c. Richards. chief Of the
militia bureau. IS especially worried
on this score. Said he:
Under the house bill not only
would We have TO suspend our plans
for army and corps units. but we al
so would have TO withdraw recOgni-
ticn from units already organized.
( for the simple reason that we will
