Expert Describes UV-1oo
Which Increases Volume at
Little More Cost

The UV-199 tube operates with
three dry cells connected in series
for the filament, and the tempera-
ture is controlled by a 80 ohm
rheostat
The filament draws only 60 mil
liamperes at three volts, which is
the normal operating potential.
A common flash light tubular bat
terry will operate a one tube set
one hour daily for a month. It is
not critical as to filament control.
This tube contains a new type of
tungsten filament, which is twenty
times more efficient than the old
type, such as is used in the UV-2OO.
When used as a detector it oper.
ates best at 45 volts, although this
voltage may be increased to abouz
6C, with a greater volume but
cost as a "B" battery life is short.

can handle up to 80 volts of "R"

1t functions extremely well as a
radio frequency amplifier, because
Of the comparative absence of ca.
pacity between the small elements
and the short leads. The tube ia
only Sh inches high and one inch

The tube is free from noises
which were common in the old
types. These noises are due to
high temperature of the filament,
and to small traces Of gas left IN
the tube. The new tubes, operat-
ing on low temperatures, and
pumped to a high degree of vacuum,
are free from this trouble.

WDAP 0UGH 7
by TRIBUNE
REPORT
Chicago Fans Are Faced by
Second Recent UpheavaI
in Broadcasting

CHICAGO, May 2S.-Reports that
the Chicago Tribune, which now
operates station WGN, has pur-
chased station WDAP of the Chi.
cago Board of Trade and will hold
an opening program on the night
of June l. from the new station,
come from what seems to be
reliable source. The story circula..
ed is that the Tribune will move its
call letters to this new location
with the opening program.
This reported transaction coming
before radio circles in Chicago
have Gained down from the last
upheaval less than two months
ago, has the city engaged once
more in a guessing contest as to
what it all means.
1t was only about two months
ago that the call letters WJAZ. Of
the Edgewater Beach Hotel, drop.
ped out of sight and in their place
came WGN. with changed wave
length, operated by the Tribune.
Soon after this the epidemic for
new stations began to grow and
three new stations were started in
and around the city. Simultaneous.
ly with this new announcement, it
is said that three more stations
will be installed, one on a hotel,
In an electrical store.
While it was generally understood
when WGN appeared on the air,
that the Tribune had bought WJAZ
from the Chicago Radio Laboratory,
this has turned out to be false.
The Tribune has never owned the
equipment and the change merely
meant that the newspaper was
furnishing programs for the station
still under the control of the
laboratories.
1t is believed that the Tribune,
desiring to have a station it could
call its own and finding it impos-
sible to purchase the present WGN,
began negotiations for WDAP. It
is rumored that the call WDAP
will no longer be heard after the
first, and that WAX will once
more come on the air.
1t Is said that WJAZ will keep
its present wave length of $40
meters and that the new WGN will
operate on $50 meters, the present
length Of WDAP.
If WDAP goes off the air it will
mean the passing Of one of the
oldest and most popular broad.
casters in the country. It has
been heard in every State of the
Union and many foreign countries,
and the call WDAP has fallen upon
MANY weary ears, in the wee small
hours, carrying encouragement to
continue the hunt for other DIX
stations.

DR.. Eugene Lyman Fiske, director of the Life Ex
tension Institute that in the last century the aver
age span OF lie has been heightened 20 years and the
chances are that it will be heightened 20 wears more
within the next generation.
1t used to be that when man reached So he was
old and near his end Now the man of so in good con-
dton can look forward with reasonable expectation
OF living to 80 Before long, perhaps the man so can
look forward with reasonable expectation to reaching
100.
Here is marvellous gain if life is reckoned only
IN length OF years But duration of time. as every
i've person knows, is only half of it. The same scien-
tlflc progress that has heightened life in the last
generation two, and is operating more rapidly
than ever to that end has enormously increased the ex
perlences that be crowded into any particular term
of years.
A man nowadays can easily come into contact with
10 or 100 times many people his grandfather
could. Travel and communication take him easily
throughout the world bring the world him. There
immensely interchange of ideas and information
and enormous multiplication of manufactured goods

them.
few years of ordinary life may now be crowded
with experience impossible to a Solomon and Me-

and healthy person may mean, for most purposes of
existence, much a thousand years would have
