A. J. Simmons Opens
 Modern Radio Store

Determined to keep his establish
 ment up 10 the minute, Albert J. Simmons. owner of Simmons Storage Battery company of 1Gs Arch street. will this evening open a modern radio
 store at the above number. In speak ing of his new department. Mr. Sim
 mons said:
 '1 started in the storage battery business some years ago. featuring the famous Willard batteries. That department has grown in leaps and
 bounds and is 10 continue to be one of my best profitable departments. few years later, I believed there was a demand for a modern cleo trical station in New Britain and aft CT some angling I succeeded in get ting the agency for Splitdorf. Delco- Remy and other electrical lines and my expectations with this depart ment were more than fulfilled.
 .'Of late, many people have asked me why I did not invade the radio field and following exhaustive tests upon various makes of receiving sets l have decided to sell the Tuska sets. The C. D. Tuska company, of Hart ford, makes these sets which means that all Tuska products are tested under Connecticut valley conditions. That is an important point to begin with for it means that before any Tuska set is placed upon the market they arc tested under exactly the same conditions that prevail in New Britain.
 Another point in favor of the Tuska line is that this company makes one-tube, three-tube and four tube sets. The one tube set sells for sS5, the thrce-tube set sells for SIS and the four-tube set sells for SIPS.
 ''The four-tube set selling for s1a5 is the much-talked of Tuska Super dyne, Anything I say about this set might seem prejudicial but just read what Dr. William NJ. Stockwcll, su- perintendent of the Tuberculosis at Newington, a man who has owned number of different radio sets, has to say about the Su- perdyne:
 "I have tried many of the so- called best sets but the Tuska Super dsis IS DS lar Inc DeSt nave ever heard. I have gotten everything from Mexico City to the coast with the loud speaker and an indoor an tenna. And I get such tremendous volume that I cannot use an outdoor in bringing in Springfield
 When Dr. Stockwell says tho above, you have an endorsement worth while and if is we'll to remem- ber that Newington is but a short distance from New Britain and the results obtained there can easily be obtained here.
 Among the others who have en. Enthusiastically endorsed the Tuska Su- 1 is D. c. C'asom, radio writer | for ihe New York Snn-Globe, who 1 says: There is magic in the Super dyne. Ii is sensitive. seiective and 1 easy 10 handle.'

 As this is the first sepulture of pharaol ever found inriolate, theories regarding the contents of the sarc plagns arc mostly surmise, but Egyptologists here are of the opinion th4t several mummy cases, ono within another will be discovered around the body.

QUALITY OF MUSIC
 RECEIVED BY RADIO
Range in Frequencies and Varia-
 tiOn in Volume Allowed for

i In q demonstration and technical paper delivered before the Midwinter i Convention of the American Institute Of Electrical Engineers on February s, 1 hy W. H. Martin and H. Fletcher, en- l gineers of the American Telephone and Telegraph company and Western Electric company respectively, thor ! ough discussion of quality in broad cast reproduction of music was dis ! cussed, Many points of great inter- est to radio listeners were brought oGt. An idea Of the compleNity of the problem is given according to these engineers by the extraordinary range Of frequencies and variation in vol ume which are encountered in the transmission of radio music
 The most remarkable piece Of ap- paratus employed during the demon- stration was d new and experimental form Of loud speaker. Two of these instruments were hung over the stage and two others in the upper rear of the ballroom Of the Bellevue Strat- ford. This arrangement made ii pos s!be 10 reproduce tho Wanamaker or gan and it's echo organ in the ball room with astonishing fidelity, the deep rich tones Of the pedals coming through with the same clearness as the highest tones. The loud speakers are recent development of the tele- phone laboratories but are not yet available in the market. In addition To the organ selections. other musical numbers were reproduced with all the reality of life.
 Both music and speech consist of combinations Of sound waves of many
 differing frequcneies The notes of music ranges all the way from the lowest tones of the organ and the ket- tie drum, which arc in the neighbor- hood of sixteen vibrations per second, I'D to the high overtonos of the violin and the piccolo which may exceed even 1000 vibrations per second. The sounds of speech do not cover quite as wide a range of freaueneies as those occurring in music. In gen eral, most Of the energy of speech is carried by the vowel sounds and at frequencies below 1000 vibrations per second. but the fine modulations of the Nowels which produce the stop consonants involve froqueneies mostly above 1000 vibrations or cycles. The production Of the fricatiNe consonants also involves higher frequencies and 1t was found that such sounds as '''S" and "F"' and "Th" have their sound spectra in the frequency range be- tween 4o00 and 10000 cycles.
 Range in Broadcasting.
 Such a broad band of frcquencies need not be transmitted in order 10 make speech intellisible. For ox- ample. T transmitting system, be it either wire Or radio, which carries frequency range from 500 10 201O cycles reprodnees speech which can be easily understood. Although these limited frequeneies give intelliribilitE they do not give I natural reproduc. ton. For this reason n wider fire. quency range is used in broadcasting. A frequency range from 1on 10 30o6 cycles gives a satisfactory degree Of naturalness in broadcasting speech Arpreclable improvement is obtained

Although it sells for only s10 ii does its job almost as well as the loud speakers selling for two to five times that much.

 Wonderful OppoItunit,
 'l sec through this radio service so generously rendered a wonderfuf op- portunity to bring the actual work of the school system into closer relation with the home. l particularly need and desire the help and advice of every member of the school system in arranging for the public such series of talks and educational entertain msnts as will make our educational series the subject Of table-talk in every home. In other words I am dCsrous Of giving the public over the ladio cross section view of the school system.
 "A number of department heads will be requested to give brief talks on the manner in which the work Of their several departments is conduct cd. l am sure that l may count on such cooperation.
 The nature of the entertainment offered by the schools might very well include short talks on special phases of education music lessons songs, glee clubs. music appreciation. orehestras, recitations in reading English, history, eieies, geography. arithmetic, nature study, science and the like, spelling lsssons. and exercises for special holi- ffays.

by the extension of the upper end of
 the range to 1000 cycles. and prefer
 ably it should be placed much higher
 In broadcasting music. the broad
 sweep of ifs frequencies from about
 l6 cycles to 10000 cycles makes its
 proper handling extremely difficult,
 particularly when the large energy of some of the low notes such as used in the pipe organ are taken into ac-
 count. However, ii has been found that by transmitting frequency range from 50 to 5000 cycles good re-
 production of most kinds of music can be given.
 Another problem which offers many difficulties is the wide variation in volume which must be handle in the case Of certain musical instruments. This, according to the authors of the paper in question. constitutes one of the phases of the technique of broad casting which requires constant at tention. For speech, the variation in average power Of the order of 1000 to l. In music, and especially that such as is given by a symphony or chestra. the energy variation between the softest and the loudest passages may be as great as 100000 to 1. In the present state of the electrical art. if is not practicable to handle such an enormous range of volume in broad2asting. This limitation arises, not so much from the capacity of the broadcasting apparatus as from the existence Of eAtraneous noise. The softest musical passages when broad cast, must be made sufficiently loud to override static and other electrical in the ether. receiving set noises and any incidental noise. When the softest passages are made loud enough 10 overcome such extraneous it would be extremely expensive to proyisa the equipment for making the iondest passages 100,- GOO times as loud.
 Monitorins Equipment.
 Consequently. good broadcastins re- auires q skilled listener and lnoni- | torinG device at the point where the program is picked up. The function Of this listener is to adjust the ampli- i fer in the broadcasting system so that it's output will take due account l of changes in loudness in the pro gram. These changes in loudness must not be unduly reduced but they 1 must be made such as will carry best to the radio audience, without over i loading any element in the broadcast 1 ing system. Tho skillful operation i of .monitoring equipment is an inn nortant factor in WEAF's successful l broadcasting Of such orchostras as the 1 Capitol symphony, the New York i symphony and the Philharmonic.
