RADIO NEWS

A message broadcast from station
2ZY at Manchester, England, was be-
lieved to have been heard last night
by a party of radio engineers lis
tening in on receiving set in the
laboratory of DIR. j. Harris Rogers OF
Hyattsville, Nd. George e. oliver OF
station WRC, one of those who lis
tened in, said that the English sta
tions are tuned too low, making the
voices of the speakers virtually in
audible.
DR.. Rogers latest invention, the
underground antenna, was used. 1t
is of the coil type and is placed in a
well down to the water line and to a
height of about foot above the
ground, where il forms cap or
curb. thus completely inclosing the
coil and insuring that the waves
come through the earth from the
bottom Of the well.
American stations will try to reach
England in the final transatlantic
test of the week tonight between 10
and 1890 o'clock. WRC will be one
of the stations participating in the
test. 1t has arranged to broadcast Il

of toilet soap cost SO. 900. 900 marks Oc-
tober D. which was about 16 American
cents, estimated on the rate of ex-

Public baths are operating only spas
medically because of the scarcity Of

central heating has been generally
abandoned. and the price of coal and

Let us have no silent night .by

a long step backward.
What we all need to do is ac-
quaint ourselves with our sets,
both tube and crystal, after which
most any of us VIII be able to tune
out the nearby stations and pick
up any of the distant stations we
have within the range of our sets.
To those of us who have tube
sets, 1 will offer a simple help that
any of us can attach to our sets.
Take an ordinary coil used on a
slidebar crystal set and place 1t
between the aerial and the aerial
binding post of your tube set and
by using the slide i'll connection
with the detector coil of your
tube set you can tune out any of
our local stations and reach far
distant stations within the range
of the set
This method has proven success
full on a number of tube sets.

help and information printed each
