HARTFORD. Conn, December I2.-
Radio station 6CTE, one of the $4,000
amateur radio telegraph transmitters
or the American Radio Relay League,
permanently signed off the air the
other night when it's operator, Tom
Banzhaf. went to his death while lis
tening to the dots and dashes of fell
low amateurs. Banzhaf, whose home
Is at 3466 Twenty-first street, San
Francisco. died following an attack
OF heart strain, the same trouble
which had made him a chronic suf-
ferer for some time. Happy and
contented a few minutes before, he
was dead before the headphones
could be removed.
During his long illness amateur
radio was his greatest comfort, ac-
cording to his mother, Mrs. II. A.
Banzhaf. who tells the pathetic story
in n card to the A. r. r. l.. headquar-
ters. Practically all amateurs have
cards with their calls printed on
them. which they send to other op-
orators upon request. Banzhaf had
received large number of such
cards from amateurs who had heard
acknowledgement to her sons friends
Of the air" that she wrote the follow
ing message:
MY son received your postal ]

wanted you to know that he passed
away Monday night at 9:30 o'clock
sitting at his radio with his cousin,
with his earphones on. He was hap
py and seemed so well-recovering,
We thought; he had been quiet for
the last year on account of heart
strain, but was SO much better we
were planning a trip for him.
He just dropped and was gone.
He was trying to get distance, as
his whole being was wrapped up in
radio. He enjoyed the many cards
from friends of the air all over the
United States. Please transmit this
for heartbroken mother. his pal also"
The othter side of the postal on

AMATEUR STATION WINS
PRAISE AT BIG SHOW
Entire Equipment Located inside
Exhibit Building in Chicago
for Benefit of Visitors.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, December 12.-One of
the prominent attractions at the Chi
cago Radio Show. held at the Chicago
Coliseum, was the exhibit given by
e. T. Flewelling of amateur station
9XBG, who set up his station for
broadcasting and handling messages
for visitors.
The most unique feature of the ex-
perimental station was the fact that
the entire equipment, from the cur
rent supply to the antenna and coun-
terpoise, was located inside the build
ing. The transmitter was a 100-watt
set, broadcasting on 80 meters, and
operated entirely from power sup
terplied from storage batteries.
Special permission was secured
from Il. A. Beane, supervisor of radio
for the ninth district, to permit
broadcasting on the short waves. Musi-
cal programs were given by two en-
tertainers. Mr.. FleWelling was as
sisted in the operation of the set by
members of the Radio Traffic Asso-
citation, affiliated with the A. r. r. j.

TOWER GUIDE TO FLYERS,
Signal Lights on WLW's New Sta.
tion Directs Aviators.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, December Ia
Red and green signal lights have been
placed atop the antenna towers of
TLW's new o,000-watt station at
Harrison, Ohio, as a guide to aviators
flying at night.
Not only do these tower lights
serve as a guide to the town of Har-
rlson, but to other neighboring cities
as well. The aviator flying southeast
on direct line from the red light to
the green light will eventually strike
Cincinnati. If he flies northw est
along the same line he will pass very
close to Indianapolis. Flying north
east between the two lights, perpen-
dicular to the direction of the aerial.
ne will pass through Dayton, and fly
ing southwest along this same line he
will be going directly toward Louis
Vile. Thus the tower lights serve as
valuable air-lane guide posts, giving
the directions of the largest neigh
boring cities.

Radio for Madame's Car.

The French have introduced a radio
receiver for use on automobiles. All
wires. batteries and tubes are con-
tanned in a cabinet matching the color
of the cars upholstery. The phones
are attached to a silver enameled
handle, which slips under the chin
instead of over the hear. so as not to
disturb the hair or hat. When car
gets in a traffic jam. as is often the
case, for a quarter OF an hour, madame
listens to the radio concert.

Avoid High Regeneration.
TONIGHT.

II is much better to add a stage Of
audio- frequency amplification to a
set than to have to use regeneration
to the extent that the set howls. Such
high regeneration not only makes the
program unpleasant to hear, but also
causes considerable radiation, which
interferes with other sets in the
neighborhood.

Keen Radio Sets BRIGHT.

The parts of a radio set work best
when they are bright. A dull sur
face usually means that corrosion has
taken place, which offers resistance
to high-frequency radio currents. AS
radio currents travel on the surface,

A RADIO FAN.
AGW is Charles Feland Cannon,

Wednesday night at $50 o'clock l
heard some strong code. This /
heard while wCAP was broadcasting
a concert by the United States Army
Band. Could you give me any in
formation concerning the station? II
sounded like NAA. but that station
was scheduled to broadcast speech
at that time.-HARRY PARKER.
Only an experienced radio operator
who can read code messages can
answer your query. The fact that
NAA was transmitting a speech at
the time does not indicate that the
Arlington station was not sending
code. The speech was broadcast by
the radiophone station at Arlington.
Code is sent out with an entirely
different apparatus.
Radio Editor:
The station Mr.. ]. G. Seymour heard

LARGE AUDIENCES
Even in the smaller communities
the people come from far and wide
to hear the farmer-labor speakers. At
Westby and Dooley there were fine
audiences. In the Comertown pre-
cinct there was an audience of about
10, the same was true of the Ray
mond and Outlook meetings and in
the Daleview precinct which is one of
the smallest in the county, the school
house. was packed with eager farm
ers and their wives who wanted to
hear the truth about the situation in

FARMER
ASKS QUESTIONS

COmertcwn, Mont, Oct. %, 1924.
The Producers News,
PlentywOod, Mont.
Gentlemen:
Please ask the following questions
for the benefit of Mr.. Niels Christen-
sen, now a candidate for county com
missioner on the old gang republican
ticket:
l. Why should the farmers in
Sheridan County vote for Mr.. Chris
tensen when they knew that he pro
fessed to be a Lacquer and took part
in the farmers county convention
two years ago, but who is now align
ed with the most corrupt gang that
ever infested the State of Montana
and is campaigning for those pOliti-
clans and who also double-crOssed the
league four years ago and was secret
ly supporting Conner for judge?
2. Why is it not more proper to
support Edward IversOn who was en-
dorsed by the Farmer-LabOr conven-
ton last July and who without ques-
tion is one of the most ardent sup
porters cf the farmer-labor forces in
the county and who has always stood
where he stands today?
8. Why should we not elect a man
upon whom we may depend to stand
by us and who viii remain in the
ranks of the farmers and the work
lers in the county?
Yours truly,
u. G. FARMHOUSE.
