A man strolllng carelessly through

he is never alone. that his slightest

The Atwater-Kent radio receiving set on display at the Dixie Auto show achieved a distinct success, according to Ed Henley, of Birmingham Electric Battery company, Birmingham distribu- tors tor this popular line: This set, said MT. Henly was the first to get a radio program in the auditorium. in spite of the fact that the many cleo trical appliances and the steel ot the municipal structure interefered seriously with reception, the Atwater-kent came in clear and strong.
 MT. Henly also points out that those who contemplate giving radio sets or equipment as Christmas gifts should place orders immediately as the ernor- nous demand that is sure to be expe- rienced by radio dealers will surely de- plete stocks to such an extent that satisfactory selection will be impossible.

MELODIES HEARD
 llDYDNG HOUR . -------- Death Races With Radio
 To One Ohio Farmer.

While death waited near the bedside of John Krownapple, S3-year-old Cosh, hocton farmer, the dying man heard his first radio program.
 The program from the Crosley WLW broadcasting station eased his last hours and fulfilled wish of several years duration, says the Akron Press.
 "Silver Threads Among The Gold," that old time melody, closed the eyes of the aged farmer in slumber while two Akron men looked on in silence.
 Harry Hungerford of the Indiana Land and Investment company and Fay Hine were the two, who through long friendship brought to the mans bedside the radio outfit at his request.
 Hine purchased the radio receiver to take with him to the farm of Krown- apple, where accompanied by Hunger ford, they were going to spend several days hunting. nr1
 Arriving at the home of their friend they were surprised to find him near death. However he asked whether or not they had brought the promised radio outfit so that he might see and hear one.
 The apparatus was set up in the sick mans room and loudspeaker attached. The dying mans face lighted up when old time songs filled the room.
 Whether or not the old songs took him back to his boyhood days or wheth- CT he had filled a long desire in see ing and hearing a radio set, neither men could say why the man enjoyed himself.
 Krownapple had spent his entire life in the hills and except for information carried him by friends, he knew noth- ing of the modern world in which we live or of the worlds greatest invention.

AMERICA LEADS
 IN RADIO FIELD
De Forest And Edison Rank With Foreign
 Scientists

Though radio in its modeH sense|ls only four years old, and so far as most of the public is concerned is little more than two years old, its history goes back many years to the discoveries or the German scientist. Hertz and the work of the Englishman, Clerk-Max- well.
 Step by step through the intervening years, about seventy of them, the prog ress has been steady though gradual toward the perfection of radio as we find it today.
 The most notable invention in radio telephony is credited to an American, Dr. Lee DeForest, whose invention .of the audon tube in 1906 has made the long-distance reception of broadcast slg- nals possible. Dr. DeForest is still live wire" in radio circles and has re- gently successfully pushed his claims of priority of discovery ill the invention of the regenerative circuit.
 Edison An Inspiration
 Prior to the invention of the audion tube. the electrical work of the wizard, Thomas A. Edison, proved an lnsplra- tion for many others, who have fol lowed in his footsteps. Bdison's study of inductances contributed much to the perfection of radio.
 Another outstanding figure in the ra, dio world is Gugliemo' Marconi, the famous Italian whose work in radio telegraphy was most conspicuous through his success in long distance transmission, many years before the practicability of radio telephony had been considered. Senator Marconi Is still carrying on, working on the lab oratory yacht, the Electra.
 Under these hands and those of scores of others radio was brought to state

 As the cartoon above infers, kFkA is taking it's place among the first 10 broadcasting stations in the country and is winning its place of merit on its own initiative.
 KFKX is still repeating regularly programs relayed to it from kDkA on the short waves and thus doubling the effective wave length of the worlds pioneer broadcaster.
 All over the country today, KFkA is one of the regular standbys of the regular world and no DIX fan can count his record complete without establish ing the fact that he has heard the Westinghouse repeater station.

HASTINGS, Neb., Dec. 6.-KFKA, the worlds pioneer repeater station of the Westinghouse Electric and Manu- featuring company, located at Hastings, Neb., is fast becoming known as one of the worlds best long-distance broad cast transmitters and is now regularly being heard in such far-off places as Alaska, Central America, Mexico and Hawaii. \.
 In the past week reception reports which have been confirmed were re- ceiyed from broadfast fans located in San Salvador; Haines and Chacagof, Alaska; Los Morales, Mexico; Hono- lulu, T. H.; La Lima, Honduras; and Santurce, Porto Rico.
 KFKX was originally established as repeater station for KDKA, though at the time it was installed arrange ments were made for the station to

A set that is equipped with three or more tubes will work better if the tubes are changed from one socket to another.

ID Bend BuS.Bar

Bus-bar can be easily bent with the aid of two ten-penny nails and small piece of wood one-half inch thick. Drive the nails into the wood, leaving about one-quarter of an inch protruding. The nails should be placed close enough together to just allow a piece of bus bar to slip between them. To bend the wire at right angles or into loops at the ends, simply insert the bus-bar be- tween the nails and bend it in the de- sired direction.

To protect expensive vacuum tubes from burning out, place 15 or 20 watt electric lamp of the common 11O- volt type in series with the "B" bat tery, so that the current must pass through the lamp before going to the set. This will protect the tube in case of a short circuit.
