Obscure MaIady Is Cured by
interest in Building
It for Self.

The use Of radio receiving, sets
in hospitals has become fairly com.
mon, but It remained for q Massa.
chusetts doctor to prescribe a set
for one Of the patients he was
treating in her own home.
For some time he had been the
family physician Of two middle.
aged women living on q rather lone
~ farm. One OF the sisters had
been under his care constantly for
an obscure condition which seemed
to be growing chronic. A consulta-
ton of physicians revealed no or.
ganic trouble, and the conclusion
was reached that the patients all.
ment was more mental thar physi-
cak -
Doctor o Fan.
It happened that the doctor was
q radio fan, and the thought Of q
radio set for the patient suggested
itself, and he promptly prescribed
one.
The price Of a complete set, how
ever, seemed prohibitive, so he ad-
vised the sisters to build one. They
wouldn't have been more surprised
| II he had asked them to build an
aeroplane. But the doctor loaned
them his own set until he could go
to town and buy the parts for one
for them.
He found that one manufacturer
had recently issued q booklet with
diagrams showing the apparatus
connected into sets Of various kinds
so simply that It was only a ques-
ton of placing the parts on board
and connecting them piece to piece
as shown in the dummy.

As they say in novels. the idea
Intrigued" the sisters, and with q
little help from the doctor they built
the set, got excellent results right
off, the bat, and they are rapidly
becoming ardent radio fans
Meanwhile the sick sister. forget.

absorption in the set. ceased TO ba

to- q perfectly normal condition.

WIRELESS TINE
SIGNALS
WORLD
Importance Of 5roadcasting
by Great Stations Explain
cd to Fans by Expert.

Time signals are often puzzling
to the radio fan, and many have
wondered why they are continued
for five minutes These time sig.
nails are very important ana one
Of the greatest developments Of
radio. because Of the time accur-
acy they allow, owing to high speed
of transmission, radio waves being
able to circle the globe seven times
in one second.
For ships at sea, accuracy Of
time ia essential to safe navigation
because II their thermometers or
clocks are not set exactly right
they may have trouble. Frequently
ships carry several of these cl1ro-
nometers 50 that the time OK the
group may be averaged and any IN
accuracy avoided
With the advent Of radio, time
signals enable these clocks to be set
in mid ocean by means making for
greater accuracy.
Operate On Schedule.
These signals are sent at different
times and on different wave lengths
from the big stations Of the world.
Paris. Rome, Nauen and Arlington.
These high powered stations oper.
ate on a regular pre-arranged sched.
ule so that checks on chronometers
may be made at various times dur
ing the day and night.
The amateur hears the time aig.
nails on .broadcasting wave lengths
because the broadcasting stations
have receiving sets which pick up
the $500 meters wave length Of
Arlington and send them out again
on lower wave length.
Otherwise the average listener-in
would never hear the signals.
The time signals from Arlington,
NAA. start exactly on the dot Of
9:55 p. m. and run for five minutes.
One beat Is skipped at every thirty
seconds, or half minute, and there
Is a silence Of five seconds before
each minute.
At the end Of the last minute
the skip IL ten seconds instead Of
the usual five, and then the final
dash comes at exactly, 10 o'clock.
This final dash Is just the length Of
three ordinary dots.
Naval Observatory System.
The identical time signal is also
sent out from NAA beginning at
1855 a. m. and ending at IL o'clock
noon, but many Of the hroadcasting
stations do not rebroadcast this.
In the Naval Observatory. where
the master clock is kept In q vault,
which is absolutely impervious to
weather changes. an electrical de.
vice has been connected to the
pendulum and every time II swings
back and forth Il closes the con.
tact, causing the signals to be sent
out from the station, exactly on the
second.
Once in a great while this elec.
trical device win stick or fail to
work, and sometimes II fails to
work at all, but this seldom hap
pens.
