Advice for Shielding.

When shielding is resorted to for
the elimination of interference from
body capacity it is much better to
use small shield for each instru-
ment that large one covering the

due to intercapacity between instru-
ments. is likely to result in the lat

Monday night I tuned in a station

ing the well known "Over the Waves"

RADIO QUERIES
Radio Editor:

Radio Editor
I noticed in The Star on the sec
ond page Tuesday an article stating
that only two radio fans in Washing.
ton. appear to have picked up Euro
pean stations Monday night, namely,
Fred 8. Lincoln and John Lutz
In this connection L wish also TO
bring to your attention the fact that
the undersigned on his three-tube set,
at about 1855 or u:27 pm. heard the
same station for about four or Ave
minutes, but on account Of the Ian
guage. being in French the call let
ters could not be discerned. This
station came in near the wave length
for WGBS and was also heard through
talker by other listeners, very
family, and was evidently the Brus-
sells station SBR on a a65- wave
length.
l. may also state that my set Tues
day night received d soprano solo and
two.or three orchestrations on wave
length 335 to 400. running from 11:l5
to HAS pm, when ] turned off to
other. wave lengths. The reception
came in clear and distinct. but in
order to hold 1t it became necessary
for mo to turn the rheostats almost
to the limit. ! WAS unable to get the
