tance reception and volume as can be
obtained when any other of the ordi-
nary type of circuits is used.
While the results obtained with
these circuits are really remarkable
in many cases. they are all but graft
flying in other cases. The trouble in
most cases, however, can be traced to
some fault in wiring; the tendency
of the fan to follow out his own ideas
on the subject, and the use of availa-
ments especially designed for such
circuits.
Most fans know that it is impossi-
BILE to tune in a station unless they
have the proper number of turns in
their variocoupler windinEs and the
capacity Of the tuning condensers ad-
justed to the proper value. These
same fans, however, do not seem to
realize that 1t is just as important
that they use parts which are de-
signed TO operate with maximum eff
cheney in reflex circuits.
Radio Frequency Bames.
One Of the most common stumbling
blocks of the average fan who con-
structs reflex circuit is his use of
radio frequency transformers which
are not designed for reflex circuit
work. There are several types of
radio frequency transformers now on
the market which have been designed
for use in reflex circuits. These have
been widely advertised and you
should have no trouble in getting
such transformers from your dealers.
II you use any old transformer and
find that your set does not work
properly, the first thing to suspect Is
the radio frequency transformer. Be-
fore you write in saying that the cir
cult is no good or that you have fol-
lowed directions but cannot get re-
suits. try substituting special re-

that popular composition. This in
spite of the fact that the song will
probably neither be sung nor played.
The artists for the night are all Lo-

will be billed as "All-Lorain Night"
Radio listeners will remember Lo-
rain as the Ohio city that was nearly
wiped out by tornado June 28
WTAM, at that time, was instrument
tai in rushing aid to the stricken
city when all other means of com
munication in and out Of the city were
wrecked.
First information to the world of
the plight of Lorain was made public
through radio amateurs sending word
from the city and cooperating with
WTAM in asking help.
NOW a. group Of Lorain people, some
OF whom lost relatives or friends, and
some Of whom were rendered home
less by the tornado, are coming to
WTAM to enetrtain radio listeners.
1t Will be no easy task for some Of
these people to stand and sing in
front OF the same microphone that
told OF the loss Of their loved ones
and summoned aid to the homeless.
But the spirit OF devastated Lorain
will be exemplified by them when thew

Gated any considerable distance from

unfortunate, because the crystal de-

OF TRADE ASSOCIATION
Introduction Of Models by Manu-
facturers Will Be Discussed at
Coming Convention.

NEW YORK, July 29.-The action
taken by radio set manufacturers in
bringing out new models during the
months of July and August rather
than announcing new models at 9TH
er seasons, which was approved by a
strong vote of members of the Ma
tional Radio Trade Association, will
be discussed at length at the national
radio convention, to be held under the
auspices of the National Association
in New York City, week of Septem-
Der 22, II plans now contemplated are
carried through. Since the vote was
taken considerable comment has been
aroused among manufacturers and
dealers which has caused the subject
to be reopened.
The claim has been made that the
trade does not fully understand the
significance of a special model time
and it's relation to merchandising. In
order to hear from those who enter
tain opposite opinions. a special ses-
sion of the convention will be as
signed to the subject, at which every
angle will be discussed. The referen-
dunn vote is not obligatory, but is he
ing taken with a view of finding the
opinions Of the membership in the
matter.
The secretary of the association
has requested that members interest
ed in the movement communicate with
him at his Office in New York City
SO that their names may be included
in the list Of speakers for the occa-
sion.

CHAPLIN IS HOT
 OVER CAFE BRAWL
Julian, Accused Of Swatting
 Comedian, Makes Denial

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Jan. 23.- Charles Chaplin, cinema capitalist and custard pie artist, suspects c. c. Julian, a prominent business man, as the as- sailant who gave him black eye in a cafe Sunday night.
 Mingled with threats to sue Julian there came Tuesday from Chaplin de- mands for pitiless publicity and "a square deal for the movie industry"
 T don't think Julian's name ought to be shielded just because he's we'll known capitalist" said Chaplin. "Im of thousands of dollars invested in the movies, and I don't want my name dragged in tn, mud
 Julian denies that he is the donor of the blackened Chaplin orb, and the man whom Chaplin floored with a perfectly serious uppercut. He says he was in San Francisco that night.
 Miss Peggy Brown, however, an act ress who was with Chaplin's party, says two men in the party from which the assailant came, at the table of Mil dred Harris, divorced wife of Chaplin, were introduced to Miss Brown as c. c. Julian and c. A. Julian
 q don't know Chaplin, and never have seen him." Juliann declared em- phatically. II would have no reason to strike him. If anyone signed c. c. Julian to cafe checks that night, they were posing fraudulently.p
 Julian appeared before the grand jury Tuesday, evidently in connection with the affairs of his company, the Julian Petroleum corporation. Its funds were impounded recently by the state corporation commissioner pending an investigation of its business.
 Chaplin was extremely angry bbe- cause stories of the affray had featured his black eye, and not "Julian's" re- cumbent posture at the end of it.
 He was a total stranger when he walked up to me and made an insult ing remark" said Chaplin. q resented it, and the fight followed. The fellow scrambled away at the end of it when I invited him to fight to finish"
 With Chaplin were Mary Miles Min ter, the film actress, and Mir. and Mrs. Carey Wilson, as well as Miss Brown.
 None of us had a single drink '' Chaplin asserted. T am a teetotaler and haven't used tobacco or intoxicants for years.
 Nevertheless, this incident further and unjustly endangers the repute of
