CAMPERS FIND RADIO
Y IS BEST IN MORNING

Campers find radio reception bsst
IN the morning before II o'clock,
when the air is not yet over heated
Atmospheric disturbances die down
about three hours before dawn, and
the ether remains quite free Of
vagrant currents for about eight
hours. The signal itself Is always
better before the sun crosses the
meridian, regardless of other fac
tors, and in the afternoon it falls
off perceptibly until it's return to
greater volume at night.
The theory of the ionization Of
the air strata is generally accepted
as the cause, of the decline in sig.
nal strength when noontime comes,
and the signal at this period Is
unable to rise above the volume
of other sounds produced by stray
currents which increase rapidly
after IL o'clock.
Short aerials will be found to
work best under these conditions
because they intercept less of the
vagrant charges accumulated In
the air during the hot summer day.
The difference between the long
and short aerial will be particularly
noticeable during the night.

ESKIMO JAZZ BAND
SUED BY PUBLISHERS

j ANCHORAGE, Alaska, June 26.-
The uniformed Eskimo brass band
at Point Barrow is in a peck Of
trouble-but the organization is not
worried about it.
The aggregation, probably the
farthest north band in the world,
has been playing copyrighted jazz
music over the radio for the benefit
Of Alaskan and other North Pacific
fans. A New York publishing
house, hearing Of the infringement.
at once started legal action to re-
cover damages at so much per
concert.
AS Point Barrow is 5000 miles
from New York, and 1t takes a
whole summer to make the round
trip, there is small likelihood that
any Of the jazz musicians will be
hanged at sunrise.
The Eskimo artists declare Jazz is
easy for them. because in more
than one popularity it harmonizes
closely with their native style Of
singing and dancing.

INVENTIONS
ARE FEW
HazeItine Corporation Finds
But Three New Circuits
in Six Years

NEW YORK, June 26.-Since the
advent Of popular broadcasting only
two new circuits have been In.
vented. This fact may come as an
astonishing revelation to the ma.
jority of fans who have laborlously
followed the intricacies of the in.
genious hook-ups which appear reg
ularly with every issue Of the va.
rious radio publications. The state
ment, however, comes from the
Hazeltine Corporation.
These two radio inventions in
volve basic principles which were
we'll known before the dawn of
broadcasting. Consequently, 1t will
be seen that revolutionary develop
ments are very rare even in the
rapidly growing radio art.
The two inventions referred to
are the super-regenerative system,
ana the neutrodyne. The former is
based on the phenomenon of regen-
GRAFTON, while the latter has removed
the difficulties which previously
prevented the successful application
OF radio frequency amplification.
Another startling thing in this
connection Is the fact that Of the
two inventions produced during the
past three years only one has been
developed commercially. Both have
been employed by fans, but one of
the two inventions still requires a
large amount Of experimental de.
velopment before it can be brought
to practical use.
In addition to the inventions
named above there has been an i'm.
provement invention upon the super
heterodyne. This receiver was in.
vented in France in 1918 and oriRi.
nally involved the use Of eight tubes,
The latest invention on this circuit
has reduced the number of tubes to
six.
The analysis, therefore, shows
that during the last six years only
three new systems have been
evolved-the super. heterodyne in
1918, the super.regenerative in 1922
and the neutrodyne in 1923. In ad.
dition to this a careful survey Of
the situation shows that no radical
invention is in sight, according to
the Hazeltine statement. There will
be some improvements on the ex.
listing systems occasionally, but it Is
always some considerable time be-
fore these improvements can be
placed before the public, due to the
limitations imposed by manufactur.
ing conditions.

HOPE TO ADAPT RADIO
TO USES OF SCHOOLS

OAKLAND, Calf, June 26. - A
plan to adapt radio to the public
school is now being tried out under
the supervision of the research di'
rector of the Oakland public schools,
with the assistance of KGO, the
Pacific Coast station of the General
Electric Company.
From tests already made 1t IL
expected that through the medium
of radio more voluntary attention
may be obtained from child in
school.
Doctor Virgil Dickson, research
director of the Oakland public
schools, announced recently that a
committee working on the radio
problem is divided into two groups,
differing in opinion.
One group believes that a lesson
by radio will be limited to a mes
sage of special importance by some
special speaker. This is the lecture
type of lesson, and will be limited
to specialists.
The opinion of the other group is
that radio can supply actual class
room lessons.
The lecture plan, as advocated by
group one of the committee, has
been tried out by broadcasting one
lesson in music and another on In
dian customs. Returns from va
rious schools listening indicate that
both lessons were successful.

to handle two and one.half and

At the present time the maxi

will be the power used by WSAI
during transmission periods. 1t is
planned to have the equipment in

Power to the trasmitter will be
furnished by rectified current

$1,000 volts; three motor generator
sets and storage batteries.
Arrangements made with the new

mike" IS USED
LITERALLY IN
GERMANY
Each Individual Player in Or
chestra Is Broadcast
Separately

NEW YORK, June 26.-The
broadcasting system in Germany
Is proceeding along a different line
from that in America, according to
news dispatch from Berlin. A
successful experiment was tried out
In Munich in which a performance
OF die Walkure" was picked up
on microphones installed at the in.
dlvidual musical instruments at the
opera house and carried on tele.
phone wires to outside listeners.
The idea Of providing an individ-
uaI micropohne for each instrument
IN an orchestra is a good one. In
this way the feeble notes of the
less noisy prices are not lost, but
their journey over the wire, and
the reproduction at the distant end
becomes more like the original
orchestra than is otherwise possible.
The effect could be demonstrated
on smaller scale by radio. For
example, a duet could be broadcast
In two parts, one piece over WIZ
and the other by WY, but it would
be necessary to employ two sets
at the receiving end, tuned to the
respective stations, with separate
loud speakers or a split head-set,
one phone connected to the WY
set and the other to that of WIZ.
The superiority of a solo Is OBJ.
served when its purity of tone Is
compared to that of a combined
group. The microphone does not
seem to do justice to the weaker
notes in the presence Of stronger
ones. This is explained by the fact
that the microphone is actuated by
a vibrating element in it, whose
period of vibration is not flexible
enough to reproduce several tones
faithfully

WEATHER EFFECT LITTLE
ON SHORT WAVE CIRCUITS

The short waves sent out by
KDKA and WGY are unusually
clear because reception on waves
around 100 meters is not influenced
by weather conditions to the same
extent as is found on longer waves.
This is particularly true during the
summer season, when signals from
distant points do not come through
with the same degree of regularity
or volume as during the cooler
months.
The reason for this is found In
the use Of a shorter aerial for pick.
ing up the signal, and also in the
effect Of the smaller inductance
needed to tune it into resonance.
There is yet another cause for
better reception on extremely short
waves. Absorption by buildings and
other things in the path Of the field
does not occur to the same extent,
because they are generally out of
electrical resonance with il.
