First Radio Worlds Fair Manager
Says Bronze Figure of Saint

Art and science are to be blended
in a most interesting manner, pro-
vided a unique theory just advanced
by James F. Kerr, general manager
of the first radio world fair, stands
the acid test to which it is now
being subjected by a special COM
mittee of radio engineers
1t is barely possible that the far
famed bronze statue DIANA" which
surmounts the tower of Madison
Square Garden and which is univer-
sally acclaimed as one of the finest
pieces of sculpture in existence, may
soon adopt a more useful profession
than that Of a beautiful weather
vane. In other words, Saint-Gaudens'
masterpiece MY go into the radio
business and establish herself as the
worlds most exquisite antenna-
Manager Kerr is of the opinion
that the huge nude figure can be used
with broadcastsng, both sending and
receiving, and Ehree wireless author
tiles are now conducting experimears
which may result in Diana" playing
a prominent part in the ultra-im-
portant transoceanic and transconti-
mental tests which are to be staged
during the big international expo
sition here next September, under
the supervision OF the leading Euro
pean and American radio scientists.
Mr. Kerr refuses to disclose just
how he expects to use the massive

to be completely grounded, as an an

conclusion of his preliminary expert

GERMAN RELIEF APPEAL
PLANNED OVER RADIO
Washington Committee to Conduct
Entertainment Over WCAP
Next Monday.

Monday, May -. will be human
ity night" at WCAP. All those who
listen in will be placed on their
honor to pay a fee of $1.00 for reserv-
ed seats around the receivi ing sets
in homes, clubs or wherever they
may be.
An exceptional program is promis-
ed. including speakers of national
reputation and entertainers of equal
merit The purchase of reserved
seats naturally must be left to those
at the receiving end and they will
have the satisfaction of deciding
themselves whether the show and
the cause were worth the money aft
er they hear it rather than paying
at the box office, sight unseen.
The purpose of this unique innova-
ton is to give radio fans an oppor-
tunity, if they so desire, to contribute
to the fund now being raised to feed
millions of children facing starvation
in Germany This money is being
collected by the American Committee
for Relief of German Children, head
ed nationally by Maj. Gen. Henry T.
Allen.
Five-minute talks on the absolute
need of this relief will be given.
All the addresses VIII be inter-
spersed with instrumental and vocal
selections and with other forms of
entertainment, some of them sur
prises which, it is said, will appeal to
discriminating radio devotees.

or negative resistance" in tho cir
cult.
The circuit of the superdyne receiver
Is shown above.
If the ticker coil were removed
from the circuit and the switch arm IL
were connected directly with the positive
B battery binding post 81 the circuit
would be reduced to a simple circuit
consisting of one stage of tuned radio
frequency coupled to the detector circuit
by means OF the tuned coil IL. In addi-
ton TO the detector and the one stage
OF radio frequency amplification there
are two stages of the regular type Of
audio frequency amplification.
The coil 3S which forms the primary
coil or the circuit consists merely of
four turns of insulated wire wound
around the secondary coil 5. When the
primary coil is of this fixed turn type
the cirCuit is said to be an "aperiodic"
circuit which means that the circuit is
untuned.
Confusing Fact.
Many fans are confused by the fact
that the leads to the ticker coil cross
each other. This does not indicate that
the winding of the coil is any different
from the other windings, but merely diff
ferentates this from the regenerative
circuits. In the diagrams of regenera-
tive circuits the leads do not Cross To
indicate that this diagram makes use
OF tne antl-reBeneratlVe or reversed
feed-back' principle the leads to the
winding are crossed
In action the wave-length adjustment
consists in setting switches and IL
to the proper taps depending on
whether short or long waves are TO be
received and tuning in the required sta
ton by means of the tuning condensers.
The tendency OF the circuit to osciIlate
when the plate circuit of the first tube
is in resonance with the grid circuit is
controlled by varying the adjustment of
the coil 6.
A description OF the parts used will be
given in tomorrow 8 article
