PAPER BEATS RIVAL
BY RADIO FLASHES

In a small town In the Middle
West, there are two weekly news
papers. Both Of which are published
on Friday. There is considerable
rivalry between them. Recently
one Of the papers ran lead.
stating that its news was "newsier"
than the opponent paper. Immedi-
ately. the second editor began work
ing on a plan to outdo his rival.
and hit upon the following scheme.
This editor wrote a friend in a
nearby large city," had q radio re-
ceivfng set installed in his ONCE,
and astounded his native town, as
we'll as his rival editor, by printing
the last-minute news. even before
the big city papers came to town.
Finally, his method was discovered.
He had his friend buy the late
papers in the big city. read the Inn
portant last-minute news into his
radio sending apparatus. which
broadcasted the items so that the
editor. with his radio receiving set
could hear" the radiophone mes
sages. and write copy simultaneous
ly.

BOOK DESCRIBES
ARMSTRONG SET
Author Treats Subject from
Practical and Theoreti-
cal Standpoint.

One Of the FIRST complete exposi-
tions Of the Armstrong super-re-
generative circuit 20 appear in
print is contained in a booklet en-
titled The New Armstrong Super
Regenerative Receiver. How to
Construct and Operate It." The
author is Kenneth Harkness: the
booklet is issued by the Radio
Guild. Inc. New York City.
The author. who has himself de-
signed and successfully operated
several radio circuits. treats the
new super-regenerative receiver
first from a theoretical standpoint
then from the standpoint OF the
practical radio electrician who is
interested in the fundamental cir
cult and in the variations made
possible by the new principle in
volved in the use Of the super-re-
generative system.
The super-regenerative circuit is
an entirely new method Of recep-
tion and il would be well for those
who experiment with IL to remem-
ber this fact. The conditions and
effects which apply to the ordinary
receiver do not necessarily apply to
the super-regenerative states the
author. The principles involved in
the new system are then described.
following which Mr.. Harkness leads
the reader on to the more practi-
cal considerations
The author has himself con-
structed sets embodying the Arm
strong principle but with varia-
tions in connections.
These he describes in detail. One
circuit Is described as the Radio
Flivver" because OF its simplicity.
He writes. This is a circuit in
which one tube functions as the re-
generative amplifier. the oscillator
and the detector. all in one. This
is indeed the radio flivver."
The booklet is authoritative. fully
illustrated and well arranged II
involves technical and nontechnica I
discussion Of a nature comprehens. =

experimental novice as well

CHURCH SERVICES
RADIO BACKBONE

Some people may take exception to
the statement that church services
are really the backbone Of the radio
phoning broadcasting programs. But
they are.
The church Is the most powerful
factor In America. And the mere
fact that church services are being
broadcasted Is proof enough that
radio hroadcasting II not only a
means Of amusement for idle hours,
but h also a messenger of hope and
uplift for serious minded men and
women
The broadcasting Of church ser
vices Is practically the history Of
radio broadcasting. 1t was started
with almost the nrst OF the regu-
lar concerts sent out by KDKA, the
Westin ghouse Company station which
was the pioneer OF radiophone sta
tions. and these services are the only
part of the program which has sur
vived the nrst year and a half of
broadcasting. All the other things
tried on the radiophone in those first
months have made way for some.

WHISTLING RADIO"
is CANARY CUSTOM

American manufacturers OF radio
broadcasting or receiving devices
might just as well pass up the Canary
Islands as a market for their instru-
ments in the opinion of American
Consul F. A. Henry at Teneriffe. There
is not a chance. says the consul. par
ticuArly on the remote island Of
Gomera TO compete With the "whistl-
ing language" of the natives.
The inhabitants of this island by
use of a system OF whistlinc signals
can convey bits of news and informa-
ton over considerable distances with
great rapidity. The system dates
back hundreds of years. says the con-
surs report, consequently radio tele-
phony is practically unknown.

with the grid and plate circuits,

AUTO BUSINESS IMPROVING

Automobile dealers thruout Ken.
lucky report the best conditions
since 1919, according to word re-
ceived by ]. A. Kaufman, one OF
our local dealers, from the office OF
the Kentucky Automotive Trade AS
ISOLATION at Louisville.
Mr.. Kaufman was notified at the
same time OF his appointment as
County Chairman for this county
representing the State Association.
The information in regard to busi-
ness conditions was compiled from
answers to a QUESTIONABLE sent out
from Louisville to dealers in all
parts of the ctate. Reports from
every source indicated that business
is better than it was at this time
last year and in many instances 1t
showed an increase Of fifty to a hun
dred per cent from the correspond
ing period of 1921.
A membership campaign will be
put on the first week in August, ac-
cording to Mr.. Kaufman, the object
of which will be to enroll every
automobile and truck dealer and
garage man in the State Association
The purpose of the organization is
to bring dealers together in all the
branches OF the automotive business
in Kentucky and to improve trade
conditions. It is also sought to Ia
vor legislation at Frankfort that
deals intelligently and and fairly
with the motor business, as well as
to oppose the opposite sort Of legis-
lRtion.
