AT FUNSTON SCHOOL

MOULTRIE, March 28.-Farm-
ers of this section turned out in
masses to witness the showing of
the farm film at Funston, exhibit
ed in the big consolidated school
auditorium, which was crowded to
capacity. The film visualizes in an
impressive way the manifold Yyssi-
bilities of this favored section show
il the progress and advances made
along lines of improved farming
in his section. The film was made
in this county and it was the first
exhibition. Short talks were made
at the showing by several men while
a comedy contributed by a local
theater aided in the entertainment
The film will be shown in all sec
tons of the county.

files of letters from enthusiastic
listeners thousands of miles away
who have listened with delight to
their program. Letters OF that kind
are very welcome in the studios of
these stations and furnish the per-
sonnel with the encouragement re-
quired to keep their enthusiasm alive.
1 personally, cherish many letters
which / have received from those
fans who read my articles and con-
struct the sets which l have de-
scribed and who write in telling of
the results which they are getting
with them.
l have received many letters from
readers who have constructed the one
tnbe set which l described some time
ago, reporting recognition over dis
tance up to 5000 miles on one tube
and also reporting the use of a
loud speaker with strength enough
to be heard several feet away on
stations up to 900 miles away.
Several readers have added one and
two stages of audio amplification to
the one-tube set and have listened
to stations up to 5000 miles away on
loud speakers.
1t Is difficult to say what a set will
do under different conditions, but you
can safely say that the man who
pooh-poohs such seemingly impos-
sible reception records does not know
what he is talking about.
In reporting record reception re-
suits always give full details of the
set you are using. giving wiring dia-
gram, and also the tubes, and other
accessories which you have used in

FANS FEARFUL LEST
BROADCASTING CEASE
Government Officials, However,
Believe Lack Of New AppIi-
cants Shows Stability.

No applications for broadcastine
, licenses have come to the Department
of Commerce in the last three weeks
This is the first time in the history
of the now popular game that this
has occurred. Some fans want to
know what it means, fearful lest
broadcasting dies out.
Practically every one is of the
opinion that broadcasting Is here to
stay. and that while, if the stations
now on the air drop out, the best
ones Will remain. The fact that no
new concerns or institutions seek
licences to broadcast, is held as itself
the answer that there are enough
now-544 stations are still in opera
tion and 81 of them are the high
powered Glass B stations. About q
year ago there were SCI, and Ger
talnly the situation is better TODAY
than ever.
The big radio interests, manufac-
turers, and many retailers and edu-
cattonal institutions will never stop;
the good Will and advertising are too
valuable. Churches, theaters and
some business organizations find it
profitable in one way or another and
will continue to function Some
private and smaller stations may
close down.
T,- only thing to be regretted in
the present situat tion is the distribu-
tion of stations. Some communities.
like New York have a dozen stations
while another center has a single
station or none at all. However, the
more powerful stations are solving
this difficulty and it is doubtful If
there are many spots in the United
states where some stations cannot be
picked up on fairly good set
Government officials, broadcasters
| and those interested in radio broad
casting development feel confident
that the coming year, like those al
ready passed, will be better than the
preceding year. ''Certainly," they
say, last year, even during the sum
mer. was the best yet. next year will
be better" So why worry if we
never get another new station

Radio Reception Records.

II you have been getting excep-
tionally good results with your set
and think that you are the only one
who has been able to get such good
results, just take a look at what
others have done along that line.
The remarkable thing about these
reports is that reception in practi-
cally every case was accomplished
with standard receivers of four tubes
or less.
The long distance record Is prob
ably held by station WGR Of Buffalo,
which has been heard practically
halfway around the world. On
March 80. 1924, at S:45 pm, Austria
liam time, station WGR was heard
Australia, and Clement e. Ames, sec
retary of the Eighth Australian Di-
vision of the Wireless Institute.
WGY of Schenectady, n. Y, has
also been heard thousands of miles
away
Not so long ago a radio fan In Cape
Town, Africa, a distance of 1880 miles,
reported that he had listened to WGY
for over half an hour and backed up
his statement by giving the time and
the program which he had heard.
Used Four-Tube Set.
The remarkable part of the per-
formance was that f. Davis, who
heard the program, used merely a
small sdt consisting of four tubes,
one stage of radio frequency ampli-
fication, a detector and two stages
of audio frequency amplification,
with an aerial $50 feet long.
While the static conditions were
bad, he had no trouble in recognizin &
the numbers which were played.
Another long distance report was
received by station WEAF of New
York City, when American Vice
consul Quincy f. Roberts at Apia,
Samoa. reported uninterrupted recep-
tion of WEAF'S program for a period
of over half an hour.
The distance from New York to
Apia is 1900 miles. Here again a
standard single circuit regenerative
