Go Ouer Your Set and
 Get Ready For Cold Days

Now, fellowsi Everybody is back from his vacation and the old radio season is about to slip up on Us and if we don't look out we will miss part of the fun. I know that lots of you boys have been away this summer and since you have gotten back the old set don't look worth fooling with until the cold weather comes on. No, 1t doesn't feel like we are having cold weather yet, but it won't be long be- fore the old stations will roar in" every night.
 If you have that set covered up with sheet and are waiting till the cold weather comes or waiting until the boss of the house says she Is not going to have that thing in the house any longer, you are missing a fine chance to get some pleasure out of your set. Start In tomorrow morning and get the battery charged, go over your set with the soldering iron for loose or broken connections and fix 1t up in first-class condition. Then go out and look over the aerial, pull 1t up little tighter if 1t has begun to sag. Then walk around to where you have that ground wire going (there Is no telling where 1t is going) and you will no doubt find that some body has stumbled over 1t about a dozen times. If you can't find any thing to do, well, drive | couple more pipes in the ground.

Radio Declared to
 Be m Its Infancy

London. September s.-It has be- come apparent that the wireless tele- phone Is still in it's infancy, and that considerable advance in invention must be achieved before 1t becomes really satisfactory as means of broadcasting~ or for other purposes This is the conclusion of the Radio Research boards subcommittee. whose report has Just been issued.
 "We consider that tho development of radio-telephony for long ranges Is in an extremely elementary stage and we see no line of development which would be likely to lead to its establishment on a commercial basis within measureable period" they say.
 For ranges of the order of 200 miles" 1t Is added. I've consider the position more hopeful, and 1t seems that the lines of experiment which are being followed will lead to the development in reasonable time of a system of radio-telephony which will. approach. approximately at any rate, the requirements of e commer- cial system. No means at present are known by which any appreciable secrecy can be obtained for con- versation taking place at certain ranges"

the "B" batteries to see If they have gone on their vacation; then 1t ought to be about time for that "A" battery that you took down to be charged to be ready. You will, of course, have to scrape around in your pocket for 8 bone or two and then when you get home and turn on the old bulbs and turn the knobs a couple of times for practice and that old familiar whistle starts sounding in your ears you hear one of those old-time concerts from way off somewhere. You will hollow so loud that the rest of the family will think you are mad, "Oh! boy! Amt 1t a grand and glorious feelin'?'
 If you wait until cold weather comes to fix up your set you will miss lot of the winter receiving because you know school starts in short while and your time will be limited. Better do all the hard work on that set now It won't be long before the static will give up until next summer and probably by that time we will have him out of the way entirely.
 This coming winter is going to sur- pass any of the anticipations of anna teurs or others interested in radio. Yes, this is what they have said every year, and they were right. This win ter will be a greater step than any of the rest, however, and you fellows had better start getting that set ready now.

It looks as though if W. S. Y. (the radiophone broadcasting station of the Alabama Power company doesn't quit sending so far they will have to set a passport for going into the other countries.

OIL NUTS IN GUATEMALA

From the Scientific American.
 Guatemala abounds in oil-bearing nuts that only await proper handling to become the basis of a great in- dustry. Their oil content is said to be 65 per cent. as compared with 42 per cent for African nuts. On the north coast 6o,o00 tons of cohune nuts are annually available for export, but improved roads are badly needed.

PREACHER ID HANG
 IOWA PRISONER
Former Rainbow Division Chaplain Now Sheriff to
 Spring Death Trap

Des Molnes, Iowa, September g. Intervention of executive clemency apparently is all that will forestall Winifred D. Robb, minister and for mer chaplain of the 16Sth infantry, Rainbow division, from carrying out the execution by hanging of Eugene Weeks, condemned murderer of George Fosdick, Des Moines grocer. at 12 o'clock noon, Friday, September 15 So far as known, Robb will be the first minister to act in such role.
 My duty is clear" Sheriff Robb saida "The law specifically provides that the sheriff of the county in which a prisoner Is convicted of first degree murder. shall attend to the details of the hanging or detail the task to one of his deputies"
 Sheriff Robb states that while he favors capital punishment he does not believe in hanging.
 To justify his actions, the former chaplain quotes from the Bible as follows: "Whosoever sheddeth blood by man shall his blood be shed" He said the Bible is full of examples of capital punishment
 Resigns Pastorate.
 Sheriff Robb until recently was pastor of the Urbandale Federated church here. When 1t appeared that the date of Weeks execution would come during his term of office as sheriff. Robb resigned his pastorate. He explained that he did not want his acts as sheriff to cause embarrass- ment to members of his church.
 Robb's> career as sheriff of Polk county, the most thickly populated in Iowa, has been a spectacular one. On October 27, unless intervention Is made, he or one of his deputies will be obliged to hang Orrie Cross, ac- oomplice of Weeks in the staying of Fosdick.
 Robb was decorated with the dis tinguished service cross during the World war for extraordinary heroism displayed in attending to tho needs of the men in his regiment during the drive against the enemy at Chateau Thierry. His citation shows that dur ing all of the time. and particularly during the operation near Sergy. he showed the greatest coolness under severe artillery fire In attending to the needs of the men of his regi- ment." Robb recently was selected as the democratic candidate for Con- gress from the Seventh Iowa district,

Making AudIo Transformer

Q. Some time ago inquired about the construction of audio fre- quency transformer, and that time you gave me the number of winding needed if 1t is wound with No. A B. & S. wire, but am going to use No. 40 copper wire for winding, so please let me know how many turns of primary and secondary winding I need. NJ. Y.
 A. An audio frequency trans former wound with No. 40 B. x gauge can be constructed as fol- lows: The core should be made up of two oval sections of lamlnatec silicon steel, No. 24 B. & s. gauge. There should be 16 strips to each of the two ovals. The laminated sheets should be one-half inch wide. The two ovals will form two magnetic pathways, and both should be mag netically closed.
 These two ovals should be placed together and the primary and sec- ondary wound over them. The pri- mary will be wound on a spool of thin fiber board, one inch in diame- ter. and these have approximately 1.500 turns of No. 40 single silk covered wire.
 The secondary should be wound on two spools, each one inch in di- ameter and one-half inch long, with a total of approximately 4,500 turns of No. 40 single silk-covered wire.
 The two secondary spools should be placed on either side of the prI- mary The winding can be done by placing the spool on the shaft of a small electric motor.

Using A. c. to Light Filament

o. I have been trying A. c. step ped down to volts to light the filament in my single circuit regen- erative set. took the hook-up from radio magazine. but there Is such a hum in the phones that l cannot get anything, not even tele- graph Can you suggest how this hook-up should be changed so as to balance out the hum with the po- tentiometer, or Is there any other way that could hook up so as to ues A. c. on the fiiament? E. K. H
 A. Up to the present there is no satisfactory substitute for the storage battery. You cannot elimi- nate the effect of the alternating current hum except by the installa- ton of large amount of equipment that will be far too expensive for the results obtained, and even with this expensive equipment 1t Is impossible to eliminate the hum altogether. l would strongly advise you to return to the storage battery.

The Dy-Pass Condenser

c. In your Radio Primer of Au- gust 20, 1922, you give diagram of wo-stage audio frequency am plifier. I notice that you have condenser between the primary and secondary leads of the first trans former Why Is this? What is the capaoity7 You also have condens- CT between the plate and the bat tery on the second tube. Why Is this and what Is it's capacity? M. D.
 A. The condenser shown across the primary of the first transformer Is what is known ae a bypass con- denser It affords a path of low impotence for the high frequency currents to pass through in connec- ton with the regenerative circuit on the detector. This condenser should be .0O2 MED capacity. The other condenser is the telephone con- denser and serves the same purpose. It also clears up a lot of the minor noises that would otherwise be heard in the telephones.

The 43-plate variable condenser can be placed in the aerial circuit in series with the primary of your vario-coupler and the ground connection.

First Aid For Radio Fans

struments. What l wish to know IS this: Does such a length of lead-in wire reduce the power of signals re- ceived? If so, about how great Is the loss and what length of lead-in is ideal? Is there any advantage In an aerial of two wires at right angles to each other? When using the Indoor antenna on say four foot square frame can the ahteuna be located anywhere within the house from attic to cellar and still receive efficiently? To be used with vacuum tube receiver and two-stage 5mplifier.-J. T. R.
 A. It will be perfectly all right to have lead-in of 75 feet, pro vided you use a T type of aerial in stead of an l. type. Tn this case u will be necessary to join the lead-in wire at the exact center of the flat top portion ofs the aerial. Such an aerial will give you good recep- tion from every direction: A lead in of that length on an inverted l. aerial would be too long and cut down efficiency, because you would not be able to tune in. A loop aerial cannot be used for the reception or signals except with radio frequency amplification. On those circuits it can De DlaCeQ anyWn III NhS house. A detector and two sets Of audio frequency will not operate a loop aerial, as the amount of energy picked up by the loop will be in- sufficient to actuate the detectoI eff ficiently, and audio frequency ampli- ficatlon will not operate unless the detector functions properly.
