RADIO GOSSIP AND NEWS

AS part of It's work in establishing
electrical standards, the Bureau OF
Standards, has increased the accuracy
of radio-freQuency standards and
measurements during the past fiscal
year. Broadcasters. as well as other
radio stations, were directly aided In
keeping on their assigned wave
lengths, which naturally aided the
radio broadcast listeners in tuning
and eliminated some interference.
In the annual report, the radio Sec
ton of the bureau points out that
progress In the reduction Of radio in
reference depends on the maintain-
ting of transmitting stations on their
assigned freQuencies. Stations we're
directly aided in holding their fire.
quencies constant by the establish
ment of standard frequency stations,
by measurements of station fire.
Quencies at the bureau laboratory.
and by the transmission of standard
frequency signals from the bureau
station WV.
Two advances In radio beacons were
made recently. One was the compile
ton of the development of a directive
system which enables a ship or air
craft to follow specific course with
the aid of ordinary receiving appara-
tus. The other was the construction
of a low-power beacon apparatus
which will be placed in service on
buoys and may become an important
new aid to navigation.
In cooperation with Government
and manufacturing interests the cleo
tron tubes used in radio and methods
for testing have been standardized.
Applications of the tubes have been
made in numerous practical radio re-
ceiving problems. In its radio stand
ardization projects and technical in
vestigations the bureau has CO.
operated with the various national
engineering and scientific societies
and with the other Government de-
partments and boards having to do
with radio. Direct service has been
rendered to various branches of the
Government on q large number of
technical radio problems.
In cooperation with the coast and
geodetic survey a method has been
ards for locating accurately the posi-
tion of a surveying ship when the
visibility is SO poor that the coast
cannot be seen. The method employed
involves the combined use of acoustic
and radio signals. A small bomb is
exploded near the ship, the instant
of the explosion being recorded on
chronograph on board. The sound
wave produced by the bomb Is picked
up by under water microphones To-
Gated at two or more known posi-
tions along the shore. When the
sound signal reaches the microphone
1t is automatically sent back to the
ship by radio, where the instant of
it's arrival Is recorded on the chrono-
graph. The time required for the sig
nal to travel from the ship to each
shore station can be then found by
multiplying the time by the speed of
sound in sea water. With this in
formation the position of the ship
can be quickly determined. The
method is now in daily use by the
coast and geodetic survey in connec-
ton with sounding operations off the
Pacific Coast. Formerly surveying
operations were often limited to five
or six days in each month, due to the
visibility being so poor that the
shore stations could not be seen.

Radio Development. in Past Year.

Evidence of the rapidity Of the
growth in radio interest is indicated
by the fact that in 1923, one large
manufacturer sold S22.465,0S0 worth
of equipment, compared with $l1,2s6,-
4S9 in 1922, and $1.46S.919 in 1921, ac-
cording to the Department of Com
merce The cost of radio work of the
department in the past fiscal year was
s2o6,73 compared with $13S,2o0 the
tions were held and more operators
licensed, and nearly thousand more
ships and stations were inspected.
1t seems probable that broadcasting
is permanently established as public
necessity. and may be considered as IN
dispensable in the average home as the
telephone. The broadcasting OF the pro-
cee6ings OF the Democratic and Repuo-
lican conventions demonstrated its value
In enabling the public to keep in imme-
date touch with important events Oh
general interest.
The number Of class 3 stations in
creased during the fiscal year from AZ
to 81, resulting in some difficulty In
providing satisfactory operating chan-
nels for them within the wave-length
band reserved for this class.
During the fiscal year class sta
tions increased from 203 to 31S. This
increase was offset by the change in
class c. which was reduced from 327 to
101. Class d stations number two. On
June 80. 1928, we had total OF 57a
broadcasting stations. On June 80, 1924,
We had 535, a decrease OF 3S.
The question Of who will pay for
broadcasting does not appear to require
immediate consideration. The pubic
will probably continue to contribute
literally through cost of equipment pur-
chased At present there does not ap-
pear to be a more equitable way Of dis
tributing the cost, while. on the other
hand. such stations must have con-
siderable advertising value justifyinE
the expense of operation where owners
are not benefited through sales Of radio
apparatus.
The broadcast listener is an unknown
quantity. Dependable figures indicat-
ing the number Of persons deriving
pleasure and benefit from this new and
fascinating service cannot be furnished
It's effect cannot be forecast. nor its
value estimated. An accurate express
sion Of it's views is unobtainable.
Prior to the establishment of the
broadcasting service, radio inspection
work was confined almost entirely to
the marine service. The advent Of broad
casting not only necessitated inspection
and careful adjustment of the broad
casting stations, but required an extern
sion of this work to other stations to
prevent interference and insure, as far
as possible, satisfactory reception by
the broadcast listeners.
During the fiscal year 1923 there were
6.933 inspections made Of ship stations :.
in 1924 the number increased to 7.727.

German Radio Patents Desired.

The Navy Department is being
hooded with requests from American
radio manufacturers for the use Of
the German radio patents recently
onered on reciprocal licenses. A
standard non-exclusive, non trans
ferable. but revocable, license has
been drawn up and will soon be
submitted to applicants with a re-
quest for list of their patents
which would become available to the
Government. The process OF going
over the many applications and ac-
companying lists Of patents will re-
Quire considerable time, officials of
the Navy Bureau Of Engineering
point out, indicating that no licenses
will be issued for several weeks. All
applications will not be granted;
probably only those firms having
patents believed of value to the
Government will be cross licensed.
Fifty-three applications already
listed indicate that many new sets
may appear in the near future, in
volving the famous Schloemilch-V Won
Bronx reflex hook-up. which Is the
best known of German patents.

BLACKMAIL PLAN
 LEADS TO JAIL
Texans Threat To Dynamite
 Buildings Brings Threat

SHREVEPORT, La, July 26.-An attempt to extort $10,0O0 from Col. John B. Slattery, owner of the new IT, story Slattery building here, with threat to dynamite the building unless the money was delivered according to specific directions given in the anOny- nous letter demanding the sum, was frustrated by Sheriff T. R. Hughes and his deputies with the arrest Friday night of John Thomas Sanders, 54 years old, living at the Waterman sawmill settlement, just across the state line near Waskoma, Texas.
 Sanders readily admitted authorship of the letter when he was questioned in the parish jail this morning. He is charged with blackmail.
 VI thought Colonel Slattery was rich and would readily give up the amount wanted than have his fine building blown up," the man said.
 Sheriff Hughes received the letter Friday morning and at once laid plans to bring about the arrest of the au- thor. Several deputies were dispatched to the place described in the letter. Sanders was seen walking in the woods about 75 yards from the spot where he gave instructions for money to be left and deputies immediately placed him under arrest.

.ABATTOR URGED
 BY HEALTH BOARD
Slaughtering Methods In EtOwah County Re-
 ported Unsanitary
(Gadsden Bureau)


 GADSDEN, Ala, July 26.-The Eto- wah County Medical society and County Health Officer 0. l.. Murhpree have asked the city council to establish a municipal abatoir, declaring that the present methods of private slaughtering over the county under insanitary con ditions is menace to health. In let ter read Friday night, Dr. Murphree states that the destruction by fire of a large abattoir here last year has rem dered the inspection of home killed meat impossible. He says that unless there is change native meat will event. ually be run out of the local market.
 Negroes Show Increase-Authoritie are unable to account for the fact that there are 459 more negro children in Gadsden now than two years ago, while there are 14 less white children. This is according to the school census just completed. The count shows a total of 5,404 children of school age as com pared to 4,959 two years ago. The white number 3,1S5 and the blacks 2,219. It is thought that the negro in crease may have been due to the re- turn of many members of the race from northern industrial centers during the past few months.
 C0Osa Bridge SOught-At a meeting Saturday afternoon the mayor and ald- ermen of the incoming city administra- tion, county officials and officers and directors of the Chamber of Commerce it was decided to use every effort to secure the building of a traffic bridge across COosa river at the foot of Broad street. The officials vii hold confer ence with Chairman Rogers of the state highway commission Monday.
 Must Serve Term-Verbon Sullivan, 18-year-old youth, who secured his re- lease from the county chain gang a week ago on habeas corpus writ will have to go back to the roads Monday to com plete a F months sentence. He was released because the town of Altoona, which sentenced him to hard labor for insulting a school teacher, did not have an ordinance authorizing the lease of its convicts to the county. That defect has been cured by ordinance, it is said, and the formal contract leasing the boy has been filed in the probate office.
