PANEL MARKING

To accurately lay out a plan on a panel simply cover the surface with black waxed crayon where it is desired to draw line. Measure exactly with rule where the line is to be drawn and then with a toothpick mark the wax. Should the line be drawn in the wrong place, it is a simple matter to re- peat the process. When the drilling is completed the wax may be rubbed off with a soft rag, leaving the panel in perfect condition.

AMATEUR DIES
 AT RADIO PLANT Operator Of 6CTE Dies While
 Listening In

HARTFORD, Conn.,-Radio station 6CTE, one of the 1S,0OO amateur radio telegraphic transmitters of the American Radio Relay League, permanently signed off the air the other night when its operator, Tom Banhaf, went to his death while listening to the dots and dashes of fellow amateurs. Banzhaf, whose home was at 3466 Twenty-first street, San Francisco, died following an attack of heart strain. the same trouble which had made him a chronic suf- ferer for some time. Happy and con cented a few minutes before, he was dead before the headphones could be removed.
 During his long illness, amateur radio was his greatest comfort, accord ing to his mother, Mrs. H. A. Banzhaf, who tells the pathetic story in a card to the A. k. k. L., headquarters. Prac tically all amateurs have cards with their calls printed on them, which they send to other operators upon request. Banzhaf had received large num- Der of such cards from amateurs, who had heard his station, and it was in final acknowledgement to her sons friends of the air" that she wrote the following message:
 My son received your postal. do not know that he answered it, want you to know that he passed away Mon day night at 9 80 o'clock sitting at his radio with his cousin with his earphones on. He was happy and seemed so well recovering, we thought; he had been quiet for the last year on account of heart strain, but was so much better we were planning a trip for him.
 He just dropped and was gone. He was trying to get distance, as his whole being was wrapped up in radio. He en- joyed the many cards from friends of the air all over the United States. Please transmit this for a heart-broken mother, his pal also"
 The other side of the postal on which the foregoing was written carried a printed description of 6CTE, and ended with the greeting, Best 73's," which in radio means "best regards"

Many Owners Get Certif. icates Of European
 Reception

Day by day, yes almost hour by hour we perceive the advance and progress of radio. Each week witnesses many new patents recorded and inventions made practical, until the infinite pos abilities of this newest science baffle the imagination. In this progress of radio, Atwater.Kent has played con spicuous psrt and is entitled to much credit. Tn the recent International Radio test, the large number of Atwa- ter-Kent owners receiving certificates of successful reception of European stations was one of the notable features of the week.
 "On fair night and with reason ably good antenna an Atwater-Kent five tube set is guaranteed to have and easy 1,5O0 mile loud speaker range bringing in such stations as Omaha Minneapolis, Havana, and other dis tant stations. The reception is clear and the stations easily tuned in on this efficient set," said Will Kennedy radio expert at Birmingham Electric Battery company, distributors for At water-Kent products in Birmingham More than a dozen retail firms in Bir mingham and others in Ensley and Bes semer now feature this popular line of radio products.

 DURING DAYTIME
New Zealand Radio Bug Re
 ceives From England

HARTFORD, Conn.-Six months ago F. D. Bell, of Walhemo, New Zealand, wrote the American Radio Relay League that the favorite sport of local 1 radio men was logging Yankee amateur stations" For several weeks afterward there came lists of "calls beard" each accompanied by an enthusiastic letter describing receiving conditions. The cli- max as regards the reception of Amer ican stations came when Bell reported that in one night he had heard all dis tricts.
 As usual with the amateur radio man, regardless of what part of the world he is located, that fact reduced the business of receiving Yankee sta tions to q mere pastime. Bell immed- lately set out to accomplish something better even than that. He succeeded finally according to his last letter, in hearing stations in England and France. Meanwhile, several New Zealanders conversed both ways with European amateurs.
 This was the start of a steady flow in the reception of European signals un- til 1t has become nightly event.
 We continue to get Europe almost every night" states Bell, between 6 and 80 p. m., New Zealand time G 80 to a. m, q. NJ. T) and, of course, it Is bright sunlight at both ends. l seem to get them better here than they do in northern New Zealand, which indicates the signals go by way of the South Pole"
 The reception of these signals was accomplished during period of unfa- vorable radio weather, which Bell de scribed as being the worst for static" that he had ever experienced. There were times, he said, when the British stations came in more clearly and with greater reliability than the Yankees" 7" Ehe loduest European stations were

 Broadcasting stations to the num- Der of 120 co-operated with the bu- reau in the transmission of weather reports, covering every section of the country, while every section of the country while wireless telegraphy also was said to have greatly advanced the marine meteorological work of the bu- reau.
 The report estimated that warnings issued by the bureau prior to the Ohio river flood in the Pittsburg dis trict last March resulted in proper ty saving of S1OOOO.OOO.

RADIO NOT NEW;
 USED BY FAIRIES
Picture Character Says It Is An Old Way Of
 Communication

Did you think radio was something new?
 { No such thing. It has been in use for thousands of years.
 ! According to Peter Pan," the fairies blave used radio ever since they came Unto being to communicate with each 4ther. That is why, when you were a\ child and believed in fairies, they used to come and visit you when you called them. They heard your wish by radio.
 "The secret" says Peter Pan,' other wise, Betty Bronson, lis to think beau titul thoughts"
 In the scene where "Peter" teaches th8 three Darling children how to fly Herbert Brenon, who produced the p1 cture for Paramount, asked each child t4 express in words just what "beau- tiful thoughts" they had while trying ip fly.
 4 Betty Bronson, who plays the title ole, said her mind was with what he orchestra was playing at the mo-
 ant, The Swan Song" from "Lohen- ,x Sgrin."
 n Mary / Brian, who pays s"Wendy,' was thinking of tree tops and the flight birds.
 , Jack Murphy, who plays "John Darl' ihg," replied candidly that "he was thinking how popular he would be after Peter Pan was released"
 Phillipe de Lacy, who appears as
 Michael" was equally candid in his | nswer, "Ice-cream.'
 Miss Bronson is featured in the pro- ( action with Ernest Terrence, Cyril Chadwick, Virginia Brown Faire and A ma May Wong. Willie Goldbecl s,fote the screen play, which opens at l. D Strand Monday.

TUBE EFFICIENCY

Tubes should not be burned past the critical point. The efficiency of the filament in vacuum tube is governed by the brilliancy and this brilliancy or heat is regulated by a fheostat, or variable resistance, which controls the amount of current reaching the filament. Few tubes work the same at equal bril- liancy. There is one point of brilliancy in each tube at which it works most ef ficiently. If too much current is ap- piled to the filament the efficiency of the tube is reduced just as if the cur rent supply was too small. Too much current reduces the life of the tube and causes distortion and howls.
