- Despntches were received early
this week stating that Capt. David
Murphy. of Norfolk, Va, native and
former resident of this place, died
at sea on the passage from Antwerp
to New York, death occurring
shortly before reaching port. Capt.
Murphy was in command of large
steamer in the foreign trade. lie
was born in this place about forty
nine years ago, son of the late
Capt. Joshua and Margaret Murphy.
When quite young, he commenced
following the sea, and became master
mariner when quite young man.
He had been in command of large
sailing vessels, and in late years of
steamers in the European trade.
Retiring from the sea a few years
ago, he was for a time U. S. deputy
marshal at Crewe, Va, but the lure
of the sea was too strong, and he was
soon on the ocean again. Capt.
Murphy was twice married. His
first wife was Miss Josie Walls,
daughter of Capt II. W. Walls and
wife Mrs Murphy died a few years
after the marriage, and a little
daughter died soon after, After some
years, he married Miss Edna Green

purposes. They consume 1 ampere

should be used as the source of cur

To facilitate matters I am going
to mention the tubes OF the wv series
in what follows. but you will under
stand. of course. that what / say
applies also to the corresponding
tubes Of the c tube family.
The wv zoe type can be only used
as a detector. 1t will not function
with any degree of efficiency as an
amplif1er. The plate voltage used
with this type of tube should never
be allowed to exceed 22h volts The
use of higher plate voltage will cause
q characteristic blue glow to appear
in the tube.
The wv 2o1 type can be used both
as a radio frequency amplfier or as
an audio frequency amplifier 1t can
also be used as a detector, although
1t is not as efficient as the. wv 20
for that purpose.
The wv 1873 and UV 201A tubes can
be used to good advantage in any
part of the receiver. They make good
radio and audio frequency amplifiers
and very efficient detectors.

GREATER WAVE LENGTH
is ACQUIRED BY WLW
423 Meters Is Cincinnati Stations
New Radiocasting Measure;
Same as KPO.
Special Dispatch to The star.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, June 23.-WLW,
the radio station of the Crosley Radio
Corporation, now is broadcasting on
its new wave length-423 meters
final plans for the change having
been made as d result of a special
request made by Powell Crosley. jr.,
owner of the station, to officials of
the Department of Commerce.
This wave length is the same as
is used by KPO, at Oakland, Calf,
but because Of the great distance be-
tween the two stations and the diff
ference in time there will be no
will be used by WBAV. of Columbus.
Ohio. but that station and WLW will
divide operating time. Friday night
will remain silent night so far as
Cincinnati is concerned.
This change was neceSSitated by
the addition of third class B broad
casting station in Cincinnati, which
had been assigned a wave length of
800 meters, the same as was used by
WLW and WSAI.
1t had been suggested that a three
way division of time he worked out,
but Mr.. Crosley realized that this
would be impossible. citing the fact
that there is but one other instance
of three stations dividing time on the
same wave, and that the others in
volved also were in Ohio, the Column
bus station being one of them.
He Immediately suggested that a new
wave length be assigned to WLW,
and asked for the same as is used by
kPO. declaring that if the Columbus
station were assigned the same two
birds could be killed with one stone"

WAGNER SAYS U. S. GIFTS
WILL SUSTAIN FESTIVAL
Trip to America for Funds Emil
nent1y Satisfactory for Bay
reuth Project, He Reports.

By the Associated Press.
BAYREUTH, Bavaria June o.
Siegfried Wagner, who has just re-
turned from a tour of America to
raise money for the perpetuation of
the WagnerIan festivals at Bayreuth.
has delivered a lecture here in which
he expressed satisfaction with his
American trip. He said the amount
of money he obtained for the festival
will make the revival of the summer
opera season possible, but will not
suffice for long.
Wagner made the statement that
the French propaganda in the United
States against Germany and the
Germans hindered his work. But
there was also anti-Bayreuth propa-
ganda, which charged that he was
only soliciting money for his own
purse. But above all the Washing
ton flag incident was the worst blow
he had to face in his American tour.
Wagner expressed much satisfac-
ton with the artistic success of his
American visit, and was enthusiastic
about the hospitable treatment ac-
corded to him and his wife by Amer
leans.

Tubes to Use and How to Use Them.
A goodly part of the question and
answer mans mail consists of in
quiries regarding what types of tubes
to use in a given type of set Many
fans write in asking whether such
and-such a tube can be used in place
of the tubes specified in a set de-
scribed in one of the articles.
To begin with, l want to eliminate
the confusion which exists in the
minds Of some fans regarding two
sets of tubes having practically the
same electrical and physical char
acteristics. but distributed by differ
ent concerns under different type
numbers.
The ones / refer to are the NV"
series of the Radio Corporation and
the &C. series Of the Cunningham
Company.
Those distributed by the Radio Cor
poration include the Nv 1ss. wv 200,
wv 201 and wv 2o1A. Those dis
tributed by the Cunningham Com
pany include the c 299, c 300, c 301
and c 301A.
My literature has been rather sadly
neglected, Dut / Oel1eVo tnAt II was
Shakespeare who said, Whats in a
name? A rose by any other name
would smell as sweet" In the Ian
guage of the day, Shakespeare said
a mouthful"
Now. If you want to get the wv
type and the dealer says he is sorry
but won't the c type do as we'll or
vice versa, don't be alarmed. Take
what he has because the difference
won't be noticed.
The G 299 of the Cunningham Com
pany correspond to the wv 1s9 Of the
Radio Corporation, the G 300 to the
wv 200 the 30l to the wv 201 and
the c 30lA to the wv 201A. In each
class the tubes are interchangeable
Dry Cell Tubes.
The wv 199 and C 299 are those
usually termed "dry-cell tubes" be-
cause their low current consumption
characteristics make them specially
adaptable for operation with dry
cells They consume .06 ampere at 3
volts. A 4.5-volt battery should be
used.
The next in point Of low current
consumption are the wv 201A and
q 301A tubes. These tubes may also
be used with dry cells but are more
properly storage battery tubes. They
consume rs ampere at 5 volts. A
6-volt battery should be used.
The wv 200, c 800, wv 201 and G 3o1
