F[|VVER RADIO
SET COSTS
Y CENTS
n. w. Johnson, Builder, Claims
Apparatus Can Be As
sembIed In Is Minutes.

A cheap, satisfactory and easily
made radio set has been devised by
H. w johnson, 1913 N street north.
west, which can be constructed by
any one in fifteen minutes at a
total cost of about IL cents.
While the maker presents no
claims for distance reception on
this set. he does claim to hear
local stations clearly and distinctly,
though Of course not with the
volume of bigger sets.
When brought into The Times
office, it's receptive ability was
doubted by everyone from the Man
aging Editor down to the copy boys,
but the radio editor took It home to
try 1t out and found reception to
be all that was claimed for it.
Since that time, members Of The
Times staff have made similar sets
with equally good results.
All That Is Needed.
All that is needed for the set is
two or three feet of copper wire
about the thickness Of ordinary fuse
wire and a 10-cent crystal. OF course
the, phones must be bought in addi.
ton.
johnson built the set on a piece
Of cardboard about two inches
square, with coil of this copper
wire wound around pencil ends
about an inch long, standing in
each corner. With the two coils
on the left corners connected under
meath, and the two right corner coils
connected in the same way.
The crystal is set on the top of
the right back corner coil, with a
eats whisker" from the left rear
coil touching it to form the detector.
Aerial Connection.
The aerial should be attached to
one Of the coils on the left and the
aerial to one of the right coils. The
head phones should be attached in
the same way and the set is com.
plete, and with connections for q
ground and aerial. A radiator and
bed spring will form satisfactory
ground and aerial for this cheap
set.
johnson uses q thumb tack in
the center Of the cardboard base to
hold 1t steady on the table. but, as
someone on The Times staff re-
marked, ''that is an awful extrava-
gance."

Correspondence.
One Of our readers, H. e. Carnes,
3003 Eleventh street, has written
to us asking that the log card Of
fered by the Sanford Ink Com.
pany, New York, to all radio fans,
be sent to him.
Although the announcement car.
ried on this page noted the offer,
1t was stated that all requests
should be directed to the Sanford
Company. ,Carnes' request- has been
forwarded to the proper destina-
ton, but all others DESTROYS Of OBJ
tanning the log cards should write
to New York and not to The Times.
Carnes also makes a sugges.
ton that the daily programs make
announcement Of stations in The
far West lying between Kansas
City and the coast. An attempt will
be made to comply with the re-
quest.
1t would be appreciated If any
other users of the programs would
write us Of any stations not now
appearing in the program which
are heard locally and which they
wish included.
Tonight, ladies and gentlemen, we
will have at local station more
