Cincinnati Station Finds Reports
Falling Off, Except When Offer

special Dispatch to The Star.
CINCINNATI, Ohio, July 25.-Are
radio fans growing lax in applauding
or showing appreciation of their fa-
yorfte station broadcasts?
Since the beginning of the summer
season station WSAI of the United
States Playing Card Company. Gin
cinnti, has experienced a considerable
falling off of reports. which was at
tributed to unfavorable atmospheric
conditions by Paul A. Greene, man.
ager of the station. Occasional DIX
reports indicated that the station was
being heard at distance, but the
volume of cards and letters was sur
prisingly small.
A few days ago new issue OF pho-
tographs and matter descriptive of
the station was offered to radio lis
teners who requested it. A mail six
times heavier than had been received
on any one day for the past three
months was the result of the an
nouncers offer, proving conclusively,
according to Greene, that listeners are
receiving broadcast programs, but are
negIecting to report to stations as
much as they formerly did, unless 1t
is for the purpose of getting some
thing in return.
IF radio fans realized the value OF
reDorts to broadcaSting stations,
said Greene, they would possibly
make more of an effort toilet oper-
ators of the station know how pro-
grams are being received. Listeners
reports are the only means whereby
stations can learn of possible mechan-
icaI defects. They also aid broad
casters in learning what KIND or pro-
grams the radio audience desires.

Pointers on the Care and Use OF
Storage Batteries,

The most important point to re-
that they cannot be expected to do ef-
ficient work if they are not properly
taken care of.
Don't be afraid to use the hydrom-
eter at frequent intervals. A hydrom-
eter costs less than SO cents. If you
take care of 1t and use it often it will
save you many times it's cost in help
ing you to keep your battery in good
condition.
Don't allow the battery to become
completely discharged before charg-
current in the house. whether the
source be direct or alternating cur
rent. get charger so that you can
charge the battery at home. The
charger will pay for itself in very
short time, in the saving of charging
fees for the battery and the rental
fees that are charged by the battery
service station while they are charg-
ing your battery.
With charger you can recharge
against the IS cents charged by most
battery service stations. The fact
that you have the charging device
handy will also do much to keep the
battery in better condition because
charged all the time by charging it
as soon as it reaches the half dis
charged condition. Charging the bat
terry little at a time, but at frequent
intervals, is better for the battery
than waiting till it is completely dis
charged and then giving it q long
charge.
Remember that water evaporates.
You would never think Of going very
far without drinking, yourself, or of
allowing the water in your cars rad
iator to evaporate without replacing
it. Have the same consideration for
your storage battery by making sure
that the level of the electrolyte is at
least one-fourth inch above the tops
of the plates by adding water when
over the level Of the electrolyte gets
dangerously close to the tops OF the
plates.
Distilled water does not cost very
much. Don't be pennywise and pound
foolish by using ordinary water in
your storage battery. The impurities

Correspondence Of The Star and the Chicago

TOXIC, June 21.-Great interest and
enthusiasm attended the announce
ment several months ago that the
government would permit the install
lation ard use OF radio sets through
out the empire. Many applicants for
permits quickly put in their bids with
the department of communications,
while both Japanese and foreign firms
stocked up ready to supply the expect
ed large market.
The failure Of the imperial Japanese
government to open the air of the
islands to this greatest modern means
of communication has been a source of
great disappointment in recent years,
as America, England and other west
ern countries have forged ahead. Not
only has it had a retardng effect on
the growth of a better system of COM
munications here, but the people have
been denied one of the most amazing
and satisfactory means of personal en-
joyment and improvement.
The apparent reluctance of the gov
ernment to permit the universal use of
the radio in Japan is attributed to the
cautiouS-nay, almost suspicious-atti-
tude of the army and navy authorities,
who seem to fear that the use of such
a device might result in secret plottings
against the security of the country or
the interception of secret messages
That such an attitude is both foolish
and unwarranted goes without saying.
Caution Predominate~.
However. the fact remains that this
cautious attitude still predominates.
Although six months have elapsed
since the decision to permit the use
of the radio outfits, it is reported that
