RADIO ELECTION :
 RESULT ON TRAIN
Returns Received On Speeding Twentieth
 Century Limited

Radio election returns were served to passengers aboard speeding passenger trains successfully for the first time in history the night following presidential election day, marking an epoch in the progress of wireless transmission.
 Approximately thousand passengers travelling between New York and Chi cago aboard the Twentieth Century lim- ited on the New York Central railroad, which ran that night in three sections eastbound and three sections westbound, heard reports of the counting of the na- tional voting continuously from 7:1a until 1 o'clock next morning. The re- ceiving sets were placed on the bookcase shelves at the forward end of the obser- vation cars at the rear of the trains. each one manned by an engineer of the Western Electric. Except for temporary interruptions and returning due to change of broadcasting stations every persons in the cars, which were filled to capacity with passengers from the ad- joining Pullmans, heard the election bull letins, broadcasted from chain of twen- ty-seven stations. The night was clear and balmy and with the rear door of the observation cars kept ajar the reports were heard distinctly even by the groups on the observation platforms out of doors.
 The alI-steel cars, the oscillation and swing of the trains around curves and even their passage through tunnels and highest speed, failed to prevent the con- tinuous delivery of election returns of the United Press association, interspers- ed with an unusually good musical pro- gram originated from station "W. B. A. F." at New York. At times the Twentieth Century limited attains a speed of more than 80 miles an hour.

LETTING THE TEMPER GO

In the morgue in New York City the other day were the bodies of a woman and two men, brought there, as far as known, by the bad temper of one of the dead men. The tragedy occurred in a little apartment on the East Side, and was as drab as the room in which it was enacted. It had no dignity, its passion rose no higher than the rage of his father who resented the marriage of his daughter because her taking of a husband deprived him of services which were helpful to him in his crip- pied state, and there was lost to him the money which the girl turned over to him from the wages she earned in a shoe factory.
 So he shot the bride and her husband to death, and then he went out and let speeding truck hit him and inflDct injuries from which he died. In a day or two the double murder and suicide will have been forgotten by as much of the world as heard of it, but while it is still fresh in the public mind it can serve as the text for a lesson which many should take to heart.
 The lesson is to control the temper. Outbursts of rage seldom result as tragically as in the case of Giuseppe Gandolfo, but many a household is dis turbed and made miserable because its members cannot keep raging temper from flaring up upon the smallest pro- vocation, or no provocation at all. But violence always turks in the back ground of furious temper, and no person who permits himself unbridled bursts of anger can be sure that he will not do that for which he will be sorry.
 A quick" temper is quite another thing from a violent one, and an out Lulst may clear sultry business or domestic atmosphere as thunderstorm wrings the humidity out of the atmos- phere. But q violent temper has an un- restrained and savage quality that takes little heed of consequences when vent ing itself and is as dangerous to it's possessor as to those who are the Ob- ject of it's attack-Philadelphi Bulle- tin,

BEFORE.THE.WAR' MYTH
Idea Everything Was Much Better
 Then MiScOnceptiOn, Writer Says

1uea EVerytnlng was MUCH Detter
 Then MiscOnceptiOn, Writer Says
 The legend of Golden Age dies hard, Just now it takes the form of a prev alent belief in the general superiority of everything before the great catastro- phe of ten years ago. To listen to a good many people, you might imagine that everything was nearly perfect then.
 A really good suit of clothes could only be made of pre-war cloth. Pre-war iron and steel could stand any strain i; so could prewar nerves and muscles. Pre-war beer and spirits were altogether different from the vapid beverages now on tap. Pre-war working men were always industries and contented and pre-war manners and morals, not to say pre-war literature and art, held up a standard of excellence which cannot even be approached in these days.
 That serene atmosphere may, how ever, be easily exaggerated. The Old World had troubles of it's own. A great many matters were badly unsettled and continually going wrong even in pre-war times. There were any number of strikes and disastrous disputes between employer and employed long before we had heard of Bolsheviki. Labor was not in the least contented and had far more genuine cause for it's discontent than it can urge at present.
 Nor was capital quite happy, either. The competition of the persistent in- trusive foreigner is not phase of today or yesterday. Twenty years ago Brit ish manufacturers and producers were feeling the strain badly. Germany, Bel

For the Notebook

Tubes and batteries are about aI that wear out in a set. Porcelain insulators of the corrugated type are best for use on aerials.
 The frying sound in q set is some times due to deterioration of the B" battery.
 When rope is used as guys for the aerial it should be slacked off during rainy weather.
 Never use oil on any working part of a set, as the oil will attract dust and will cause leakage of the high-fre- quency current.
 The ideal length of antenna for re- ception of broadcasting stations is about 125 feet. An increase in the size of the antenna would not improve its se- lectivity.
 It is poor policy to tear a manufac- tured set apart just because it does not work. Batteries may be incorrectly connected or the aerial and ground sys- tens may be faulty,

International Radio Week Set For NOvem-
 Der "A

Next week, November 24 to 30, will be known to radio fans as International Radio Week. During this week con tinental and English stations will broad cast for the purpose of ascertaining the possibility of reception in America. These foreign stations will broadcast each night between the hours of Il D. m., and midnight, our time and ev- eryone will be listening in to catch these far off stations.
 ITO be certain that one will catch the European stations next week, he should be equipped with an Atwater- Kent receiving set" said Ed Henley of Birmingham Electric Battery company, Birmingham distributors for this popu- lar line. ''The only set in Birming- ham, to our knowledge that has caught London, was an Atwater-Kent, and we feel sure that owners of these sets will be sure to get the continental sta tions next week"
 Atwater-Kent equipment has found a large sale in Birmingham, number of retail dealers handling this line here, and it is expected that many fine pro grams from across the Atlantic will be heard in Birmingham next week.

Repairing Panels

Sealing wax will restore an old panel that has been bored with many holes. Obtain some sealing wax the same color as the panel. Then lay the panel down on smooth surface and heat the wax over the holes to be filled. When each hole has been filled to the top with the wax go over the entire surface of the panel with fine sandpaper, rubbing in one direction only. The finished prod uct will not show the covered holes and

Care of Headphones

Never remove the caps from head phones. This is decidedly harmful to the receiver; that is, it impairs the eff ciency of the units for the following reason: When the phones are tested in the factory the receiver caps are frightened until the pressure upon the diaphragm is just right. This test is made with delicate instruments.

This means a total amplification in the order of eighty-one to 100 times for the two tubes, or it is about equal to the one tube of radio frequency which l have already mentioned. An actual performance which consists of listening to signals of constant strength showed this to be true.
 Probably the worst of all radio fal- lacies is the conclusion that all sets which produce plenty of noise are good reproducers. As a matter of fact, l have heard sets operate with a fine de- gree, of volume but as far as quality was concerned you could not under stand one single word of the amour cer's message.

Three-inch dials are about as small as will afford suitable grip for operat- ing, and four-inch dials are better. Even 1-2-ineh is better than the smaller size. If small dials are used, however, the principal tuning control ought to have large dial and knob. Fine ad- justment is impossible with a tiny knob.
