SUPERIORITY Of
LOOP AERIAL
SHOWN
Receives More of the Electro
Magnetic Component than
the Antenna

The present type Of aerial does
not pick up a representative amount
Of the radio impulse because It
functions mainly as a condenser,
gathering in the electro-static COM
ponent of the wave field.
The electro-static component is
the force that exists between one
charged conductor and one sepa-
rated from it, which Is called con-
denser effect. The aerial wire also
has inductance, but being straight,
the inductive value is low, and it
is unable, therefore, to extract
much of the other force present in
the wave, which is the electro
magnetic component.
The electromagnetic component
is. as the name implies, a magnetic
force emitted from a wire carrying
current. The aerial at the trans
hitting station radiates this force,
as the electro-static field, both being
an inseparable part Of the oper-
alton, apd both forces arrive at the
receiving station. 1t seems per-
fectly clear, therefore, that unless
both components are put to work
at the receiving end the efficiency
OF the set is considerably below what
IT, should be.
The loop aerial receives more of
the electromagnetic component, as
10 shown by the directionaI effect
OF the loop when it Is turned In the
advancing magnetic field. The sig
nal Is not, however, as strong as
that delivered from the straight
aerial, because most of the electro.
static component is lost.
Experiments conducted with looms
and straight aerials used in COM
bination indicate that receiving eff.
cheney is increased by such com.
bination. The loop retains its d.
regional effect, which seems abund.
ant proof of the theory that both
components are effective.
There is another force, It is be.
Eeved, called the ground or con
ductive component, which is not
utilized to great extent. Expert
nents with buried aerials show
that signals travel along the ground.
II this is SO, it means that a cur
rent actually flows from the trans.
hitting station through the earth.
although it may be argued that the
waves from above penetrate the ton
soil. At any rate there is a field
here for development, and if the
third component really exists it
may be combined with the other
two to produce a signal of greater
intensity.
The Washington times., 1924-07-11

The set has been in operation.
for a month on the original dry
cells, and it has made numerous
trips to the beach, once with a
crowd of boys, who returned it
showing visible evidence of rough
handling, yet it has not developed
any loose connections or change
in efficiency. 1t does not oscillate,
nor does 1t produce audio frequency
feed-backs and tube noises, and no
shielding Is necessary for the three
audio transformers.
One rheostat controls the fila
ment current flowing in the three
tUN.lS9 tubes, which are suspended
upside down from the reverse side
or the panel. The crystal detector
is adjusted by means of bakelite
knob on the face of the panel.
How to Use Loop.
If loop reception is desired, a
frame aerial can be wound around
the hinged cover of the CARRYING
case, using about ten turns of 90
gauge double cotton covered wire.
While the loop does not bring in
signals with the same volume as
that of an elevated aerial, it is quite
suItlclent for reception at any point
not more than twenty miles away
from broadcasting station. This
does not mean that the set will not
bring in signals from a greater
distance on the loop, but, rather,
that 1t Will not bring them in with
enough volume to be heard we'll
above the noises of the open air.
For general reception a simple
single wire aerial thirty feet long
strung between two sticks about
six feet off the ground will inter.
cept enough energy from the pass
ing wave to produce good volume.
NO fixed rule can be set up. how
ever, for the aerial design, because
OF the various conditions imposed
by the location selected. In the
country the antenna may be sus.
pended between trees, or even from
an automobile top, If the place is
not too thickly surrounded with
foliage. In locations far removed
from broadcasting station It will
be well to erect longer aerial of
about 100 feet.
The Ground Connection.
The ground connection is some.
times a problem in places where
the soil Is dry. On the beach it is
obtained by driving a copper rod
one and a half feet in length into
the wet sand, but in dry places q
counterpoise is best. This is
wire about fifty feet long and
stretched out on the earth. The
set may be used in a motor car in
motion, using a frame aerial and
the body Of the car as a ground.
The set will operate a loud
speaker with more than the ordi-
nary volume obtained from a three
tube set, but 1t must be appreci-
ated that the noises of outdoors
are generally loud enough to make
a loud-speaker quite useless.
The apparatus as 1t appears in
the picture is unwired, which gives
a more clear view of the arrange
ments of parts than would show
otherwise.

FASCIST BANK
GOES BROKE IN
QUAKER CITY
Black Shirt President
Kicks the Bucket
Especial to The Daily worker)


PHILADELPHIA, Sept. o.
The closing by the authorities
of the South Philadelphia State
bank, operated by prominent
Fascist sympathizers, has swal-
lowed up the savings of the four
thousand italian working men
and women who had deposited
their savings.
A shortage of almost a mil
lion dollars in the reserves of
the bank led to investigation
and suspension of payment.
A warrant for the arrest of Edward
A. Fichera, the treasurer, was sworn
out by the chief examiner Of the bank
ing department. Fichera disappeared
from his home the day before the
bank closed and has not been seen
since. Several of the minor officials
are also missing. 1t is reported that
they escaped with over $4,000.
The president of the bank, Joseph
Cerrotti, collapsed in his home and
died instantly. Receipt of the news

appearance in the Volkszeitung of the
advertisement offering for sale bonds
of the murderous counter-revolution-
airy Horthy government Of Hungary?
First we are told that the Volkszeit-
ung had a contract with the banking
house selling these bonds and that it
might have been sued and ruined fl
nancially if it had refused to publish
the advertisement. In answer to this
writer, we say that we would rather
thousand times have the Volkszei-
tung ruined financially by a suit than
that it would sell it's revolutionary
honor by consciously publishing an
advertisement of bonds of the muir
derous counter-revolutiona Horthy
government. A Communist goes to
prison, yes, sacrifices his life, rather
than to sacrifice his revolutionary
principles. We are glad to be able
to say that it was thru gross negli-
gence and carelessness that the
Horthy advertisement got into the
Volkszeitung and not for such rea-
son as the writer Of this letter assigns.
Communist papers depend for their
existence upon the support Of the
workers and not upon the good wish
es of banking houses.
The discussion Of the question Of
principle in this communication takes
the same counter-revolutionary non
working class attitude. Horthy sells his
bonds to the banking houses, we are
told. He gets his money whether
they are advertised and sold to the
public or not. We might answer this
argument by stating the fact that
banking houses will not purchase
bonds which they cannot sell to the
public, but such an answer would be
on the plane with the argument of the
secretary of the New Yorker Volks-
zeitung- Conferenz.
For us as Communists there is
something more at stake than the
question of the relationship between
the murderous Horthy government,
the banking houses, and the public, in
connection with the sale of these
bonds.

organ of revolutionary Communist

intensely Interested IN the pre-
sent political struggle. They
1ocked in full force to the Git
low meeting in Bellaire from
the various surrounding mining
camps. Many of them came
over the line in West Virginia.
The local fake labor leaders had in
tentions to rally the miners for a big
demonstration on Labor Day, but only
succeeded in getting out a bare forty
six miners, most of them under the
influence of the leaders" Conse-
ouently, when Gitlow in his campaign
speech called attention to May LIST as
Labor's real, International holiday, the
assembled miners wildly cheered.
Workers Party Is Communist Party
Gitlow's exposure of the labor re-
cord of their next-door neighbor, John
w. Davis Of West Virginia and Wall
Street, aroused from the assembled
miners loud applause. They repeated
ly made the rafters of the hall echo
with their hand-clapping and foot
stamping, when Gitlow showed how
LaFollette fought and betrayed the La
Dor Party. "The Workers Party of
America is the Communist Party or
the United States The Socialist
Party betrayed the possibility of in
dependent, political action. The work
ers, thru strong, militant, revolution
airy unions and thru powerful revolu-
tionary party, like the Workers Party
of America, must overthrow the rule
of the capitalists and must, by setting
up a workers government establish
Communism on the ruins of capital
ism"
Following this wonderful meeting,
every miner who had sat in the large
audience, insisted upon shaking the
hand of our vice-presidential candi-
date, Benjamin Gitlow.
LaFollette Reactionary.
"The program Of LaFollette is re-
dictionary program and is framed in
the interests Of the small capitalists.
II is against the logical development
OF our present Industrial and economic
order"
Loud applause greeted this remark
made by Benjamin Gitlow, Communist
candidate for vice-president, from a
large audience gathered at the most
successful meeting of militant work
ers ever held in the home Of the Amer
lean Rubber trust, Akron, Ohio, last
Saturday night.

ers Party is fraternally affiliated
section Of the Communist Interna-
tional, as is also the Hungarian Com
munist Party. In other words the
Workers Party is part Of the world
organization of Communists which
established a Soviet Government in
Hungary. This government was
overthrow by the murderous Horthy
white guard regime. This murderous
Horthy regime visited its vengeance
upon the workers of Hungary by
shooting and hanging thousands and
casting other tens of thousands into
vile prisons, resorting to the extremes
of terrorism in order to break and
destroy this working class movement.
We here in the United States today
are part Of the world organization Of
Communists which is fighting against
this murderous Horthy government.
We stand shoulder to shoulder with
our Hungarian Communist comrades
in the struggle to end Horthyism in
Hungary-and, yet, one of the organs
of our party carries an advertisement
offering for sale the bonds Of this
Horthy government.
No matter how this happened
and the Central Executive Committee
has already declared that 1t was thru
gross negligence and not consciously
that the advertisement appeared in
the Volkszeitung-i is a matter Of
shame and disgrace to the Workers
Party. 1t should be a matter of shame
and disgrace for the New Yorker
Volkszeitung Conferenz.
We hope that the New Yorker
Volkszeitung-C onferenz, after recon
sideration of the letter Of its secre-
tary, will definitely repudiate the dis
cussion of the merits and principles
of this matter expressed in that letter
and take its stand with the Central
Executive Committee of the Workers
Party on working class view Of this
advertisement as expressed in this
letter.

astic. Comrade Gitlow particularly ad-
dressed the LaFollette sympathizers
when he said: "LaFollette will fail
to bust the trusts just like Teddy
Roosevelt did. The Standard OIL
company is richer today and more
powerful in spite of the fact that a
few years ago it was dissolved by the
United States Supreme Court. The
workers have nothing to gain by re-
placing the exploitation Of the work
ers by the big capitalists with that of
the small capitalists"
Home of Rubber Trust.
The rubber plants of Akron are
famous for the industrial spies and
omen shop conditions which prevail.
The trade union movement Of Akron
is weak and poorly organized. Some
time ago spies were discovered in the
Central Labor Union. They had for
a long time occupied prominent posi-
tions and have always discouraged at
tempts to organize the rubber indus
try. Since the exposure of these
spies. the labor movement Of Akron
has been a little more alive.
The Workers Party, particularly, is
playing a major role in building up
sentiment for a great concerted drive
for organization of the workers in the
local rubber industry. Gitlow's sue
cessful meeting will stimulate this
sentiment tremendously. 1t was the
best meeting ever held under the aus
pices of the Workers Party in Akron
The enthusiastic applause at the con-
clusion OF Gitlows speech indicated
the revolutionary sentiment develop
ing here and also marked the CONVEX
sion Of many who had up to the time
Of that meeting been sympathetic to
LaFollette. Gitlow in closing said:
"The only party organized in the in
terests of the workers is the Workers
Party of America. Il seeks to organ
lie the workers, industrially and poll
tically for the overthrow Of capitalist
government, and for the establish
ment Of a workers and farmers re-
public. IL seeks to do this by revolu.
tionary means in order to abolish
capitalism and institute the reign of
Communism"
