SHORT AERIAL VALUE
IN STATIC SHOWN
Experiments on Ship Beard in
Tropics Prove Efficiency Of
Contrivance.
MADE RECEPTION CLEARER
Enabled Hearing by Loud Speaker
for $500 Miles.

The value of short aerial for
broadcast reception when static is
prevalent was forcibly demonstrated
in a remarkable test made aboard the
steamship Essequibo on voyage
from New York to ports on the west
coast of South America This test was
undertaken by +. X. Cannon, assist
ant export manager Of the Stromberg
Carlson Telephone Manufacturing Com
pany with the latest type of neutFo-
dyne receivers. The purpose was to
determine the efficiency Of the set in
distance reception.
Reports lust received from Mr.. Can
non I'm South America show that clear
reception on the loud speaker was
satisfactorily obtained over a dis
tance of $500 miles from all OF the
first class stations in this country,
despite the fact that static was eA-
tremely severe in the Panama region.
Used. Temporary Aerial.
One of the interesting features of
MIR Cannon's report is the fact that
reception was entirely impossible on
the regular aerial of the ship que
to the excessive static discharge. En-
ploying d temporary aerial or very
short length, the effect of the static
interference was considerably redue-
ed and clear reception obtained.
While the Esseauibo was lying IN
Havana harbor, which is entireiy
land LOCKED ioud-speaker reception
was obtained with ease from stations
WBZ. Springfield; kDkA, Pittsburgh
and KFKX, Hastings. Neb.
In connection with the reception
the report states that the temporary
ships aerial but found that static
was too bad" it concludes.
Four stations Received.
Tho next report received from Mr..
Cannon stated that while the ship
was lying outside of Colon. the east
ern entrance of the Panama Canal.
he obtained loud-speaker signals
from WIZ. New York; WGY. Sche-
nectady: kDKA. Pittsburgh, WBZ,
Springfield.
This reception was obtained de-
spite the fact that supersensitlve re-
unable to receive these stations.
The next report from Mr.. Cannon
referred to reception after passing
the canal Zone. and is as follows:
p,tt.Sursh. tIs' hfsp sprinsRfiea ARsa Mass: sehe. @
nectady, n. +: Cornell University,
Havana. Cuba, and Oakland. Calf. on
loud speaker, Cornell was very clear.
Schenectady was louder tnan usual.
Pittsburgh and Springfield about the
same California strong. Havana, of
course, good.
The radio operator worked out
location for me and SAID ! was 2,ioo
miles from Pittsburgh last night.
we were something like 800 miles
beyond Panama. At Panama they
have some of the superintendent
sets but have been unable TO get
California or Hastings, Neb They
were very much interested when they
found l could get California. They
get the east United States stations
without trouble. l have had Cali
fornia from both sides of the canal.
The tests show the remarkable
capacity OF the neutrodyne system In
distant reception work.

The parts and their terminals have
all been arranged on the layout with
a view to making the wiring as sim

in wiring the unit
pull transformers with terminals ar
ranged in different ways. Since it is
impossible to show all of the various
types, l have selected a representa-
tive one and have shown the layout
this transformer. Other standard
transformers however, can be used
as long as the wiring connections are
made as described and the parts ar
ranged in such a way that the con-
Meeting wires are as short and direct
as possible.
In one transformer. for instance,
all the terminals are arranged on one
side of the transformer, with two of
the terminals together in one group
and the other three terminals sepa-
rated into another group.
In the input transformer the group
having two terminals is the input or
primary winding, while the group
having three terminals is the output
or secondary winding. In the output
transformer the group having three
Terminals is the input or primary
winding, while tho group having two
terminals Is the output or secondary
winding. You can easily see the con-
neetion by glancing at the wiring

the hlament circuit wiring by con-
Meeting the A terminal of the rheo-
stat with the F2 terminals of both
sockets.
The F or middle terminal of the
secondary winding of transformer
Z should be connected with the
negative terminal of battery 10, thus
putting a negative bias OF nine volts
on the grids of the tubes. Later you
may try connecting this terminal
with the negative terminal of bat
terry II so as to try the relative ad-
vantages of four -and-one half

tial and choose the connection which
gives best results.
Ono of the G terminals of trans

NEW YORK, June 1S-An attack
on the present methods Of dancing
and dancing masters who are Eiving
lessons by mail will be broadcast by
Prof Machiara. noted dancing master
of New York, from station WIN,
atop Loew's State Theater tomorrow
evening at 7:20 o'clock.
The professors principal conten-
tion is that the modern form Of dane
ing is unlovely and ungraceful, and
that such dances as the fox-trot and
tango are taught in 2 perverted way,
Unless there is a reform in the teach
ing of the modern dances. dancing
will become a lost art, he asserts. He
is particularly emphatic in his CON-
tention that the claims made by dane
ing masters to teach dancing by mail
are fraudulent and should be pre-
vented by law.
When Prof. Machiara broadcasts he
will issue a challenge to the dancing
masters everywhere to dispute his as
sertions either by direct exhibition
or BY means of a debate carried on

hEICHIKAN SELLING BONDS
 FOR NEW SCH0OLH0USE
(Ketchikan Chronicle)

The City Council last night lJan- uary 16) instructed J. E. Johnson, city clerk, to start out today with a subscription list for the bond issue for the new schoolhouse. People of ketchikan will be asked to purchase the bonds. They will sign up for them now and the bonds will be ready for delivery within two or three months, as soon as the neces- sary legal steps can be taken.
 From reports already made it is in dicated that the people will be keen to buy the bonds for investment and that the whole issue may be sold in Ketchikan. Plans for going ahead with the construction of the build ing at the earliest possible date this spring are well under way and will be hurried along.
 The act of congress authorizing the bonds which are now being placed. on sale, reads in part:
 Sec. 4. That the bonds above spe- cified, when authorized to be issued as herein before provided, shall bear interest at a rate not to exceed six per centum per annum, payable an nually, and shall not be sold for less than their par value with accrued interest, and shall be in denomina- tions not exceeding $1,000 each, the principal to be due in fifteen years from the date thereof: Provided however, That the common council of the said town of Ketchikan may reserve the right to pay off said bonds in their numerical order at the rate of $10,000 or less thereof per annum at any interest period; ; Provided further, That on all bonds paid off the first year after date shall be paid a premium of 21s per centum; on all bonds paid off the second year a premium of 2 per cen tum, on all bonds paid off the third year a premium of 1 12 per centum, and on all bonds paid off the fourth year a premium of 1 per centum be- sides interest.
