RADIO QUERIES

Radio Editor:
/ am very much interested in radio.
and, having little knowledge of the
subject, allow me to ask you several
questions that puzzle me. Is it true
that in the near future house current
will be used in place of batteries?
If so, will it be possible for persons
having expensive sets to change
them so that electricity could be
used without doing away with the
set? Is there an apparatus on the
market that is used with ones talk
ing machine that gives the results
of radio?-Mrs. Barbara X. Nimnom.
A. A device has recently been in
vented by George B. Grouse of the
RAIDER Appliance Company designed
to furnish the filament and plate cur
rent of a radio keceiver without the
use of A or B Batteries and also c
batteries whenever necessary. 1t
utilizes the power from the current
line with which the average house
is already equipped. The device con-
sumes 103 watts of power, so that
the cost of running five-tube set
with the tubes ordinarily used will
be small. No change in the receiv-
ing set is necessary to use this de-
vice.
AS to the device for use with a
phonograph, you probably refer to a
loud speaker attachment, but a re-
ceiving set is necessary. There also
is on the market a combined phono-
graph and radio receiving set.
Radio Editor:
Who is the amateur operator in
Washington that transmits with an
old Marconi nom -synchronous spark
gap set? He often interrupts the
reception of entertainment programs
broadcast from WCAP and WRC.-R.
B. c.
A. The -synchronous spark cap
transmitter is under ban. Your COM
plant should be filed with the Bureau
Of Navigation of the Department of
Commerce and steps will be taken to

aerial post and No. 2 the ground post

sist of two coils, one inside the other,
in close inductive relation to each
other.
The inside coils consist Of a few
turns of wire, while the outside coils
consist of many turns Of wire, with a
tap several turns from one of the
ends. 1t is not desirable to construct
these coils, better results being pos
sible from the coils constructed and
marketed for the purpose.
In the first neutroformer the in
side coil is used as the aerial coil
and the outside coil is used as the
grid or secondary coil. The top end
of coil has been marked A, the tap
has been marked B and the bottom
end has been marked c. The same
letters have been used to mark the
terminals of the other neutroformer

WRC Has Varied Program on
Afternoon Session for
Today.

WCAP will broadcast as its chief
attraction tonight the outdoor con-
cert of the United States Navy Band
at the Washington navy yard.
charles Benter, director, will yield
the baton.
The concert has been divided into
two groups. The first part of the
program will be broadcast from 1880
to 5 o'clock and the second from
S:45 to els. During the respite in
the band music WCAP will shift its
audience to the studio of WEAF IN
New York for an entertainment pro-
gram by the Eveready Trio. one Of
the most popular advertising fea-
lures that goes on the air.
The final attraction scheduled is
a concert by the pupils of the Louis
Thompson studio, many of whom
have been heard before by Washing
ton radiocatchers.
There is a total absence of ad-
dresses on WCAP's program-some-
thing almost as rare as the proverbial
dodo in the history of radio broad
casting.
Another lecture on Summer sports
for women, entitled Swimming" will
be given over WRC at o'clock this
afternoon by Camille O'Hara, athletic
director of the Metropolitan Athletic
Slub. II Is no secret that not until
recent years have women given any
thought to the development of their
bodies through the medium of athletics
In consequence of this, the business of
educating them along this line has nigh
well over burdened sport writers and
sport eXponentS. The radio has not
exactly neglected the subject, but
much remains unSaid that SportSwom-
en- ..ould eagerly consume. Accord
ingly, the Metropolitan Athletic Club
has arranged to present through WRC
each week a short talk confined to
the discussion of one sport.
The principal musical event will be
the violin recital by Mildred Hoover,
an artist Of the Mrs. Duff Lewis
Studio. Miss Hoover will be accom-
panied by George r. Ross and will be
presented at 3:35.
Other scheduled features include a
song recital by May Becker, pupil of
Mrs. Robert Dalgleish; the fashion
talk prepared by Eleanor Gum, the
report of the National Industrial
Conference Board, and a lecture ar
ranged by The Outlook entitled

GERMANY EXPANDS
BROADCAST AREA
System Soon Will Embrace

Germany's broadcasting system is
gradually expanding and will soon
include nine high-powered stations so

ception in all parts of the country.
The radius of the central stations

in areas where the central stations
are not heard properly.
The recently completed station at
Stuttgart, which operated daily to a
distance of $50 kilome eters on a 437
meter wave, like the other six major
broadcasting stations, is owned and
operated by the Federal Telegraph
Administration, which collects a fee
of two marks per month from sub
scribers through the post office.
Stuttgart is not only heard all over
Germany, but in England, Sweden
Norway. Denmark, Holland, Austria
and Switzerland, when weather con-
ditions are good. The other operat-
ing stations are in Berlin, Breslau.
Frankfurt, Hamburg, Leipzig and
Munich. Koenigsberg and Munster
have stations nearly completed.

fans may be surprised TO learn that
even receiving set owners must Sc
cure licenses from local postmen and
