FIFTEEN MINUTES OF RADIO EACH DAY

tubes can be used both as detectors
and amplifiers with the exception of
the soft tubes OF the UV-200 and
C-300 types. These two are strictly
detector tubes and have the further
| limiting characteristic of not work
ing properly as detectors if the plate
voltage is more than 22i4 volts.
All of the hard tubes. with the
exception of the WD-11, WD-12,
Gil and C-12, can be used as de-
| tectors, radio frequency amplifiers
and audio frequency amplifiers. The
! tubes mentioned can be used as de-
tectors and as audio frequency am
| plifiers. but do not make good radio
frequency amplifiers.
| If a high voltage is applied to a
tube the tube may be damaged tenn
porarily or it MAY be burned out. If
the tube is burned out there is moth :
ing that can be done for it, but il it
is damaged temporarily the tube can
be destored by lightning the filament
at the rated voltage for 20 minutes
or more with the 3 battery discon-
nected.
Tubes do not last forever. The end OF
the useful life of a tube is usually mark
ed by a rather sudden decrease in it's
efficiency. II you notice that the set
does not work as well as it used to
and the batteries and everything
else seem to be in good condition,
have your tube or tubes tried out in
a set that is known to be working
properly and thus determine whether
the fault lies in the fact that the
tubes are ION their last legs
The ends OF the tube prongs which
make contact with the socket springs
as well as the socket springs them
! selves should be cleaned occasion
ally with sandpaper to assure a good
| contact between the tube prongs and
! the socket springs.
| Most amplifier tubes work well with
! plate yoltages up to 80 volts When
! higher voltages are used it is neces-
sary to use a c battery Of from ~.
| to 9 volts.

TRAIL OF ssREDS'' In AMERICA
Organization Which Directs Operations Throughout
World Modelled Along Military Lines, With General
Staff in Moscow Directing All Radicals.

represented by Boris Reinstein Of
Buffalo. a former member Of the So
ciai Labor party.
A: the second congress, 1920, the
United States was represented by five
delegateS-John Reed, Louis Fraina.
Alexander Stoklitzky. John Ballan
and Edward Lengreen. In 1921 there
were two delegates from the United
States-Robert Minor and Oscar Ty-
verowsky-and in 1922 the American
delegation was larger than that from
any other country, consisting of 10
delegates. their identity being hidden
under code names.
In a similar manner the identity Of
all who work for the cause of Com
munism is protected BY aliases which
are changed every six months.
Operations in the United States.
In the United States all Commun-
ist affairs are under control of a CEN
tTral executive committee, the head
quarters OF which varies. according
to the action displayed by Govern
ment officials in different sections Of
the country. Sometimes it meets in
Chicago, sometimes in New York.
Mostly it is New York, however. be-
cause of the greater speed in COM
munication from there to Russia. This
executive committee has final author
ity delegated TO it from the execu-
tive committee OF the international
in Russia. II is the body from which
orders issue directly to local Com
munist organizations here. and 10
which are submitted all matters in
controversy for settlement This
committee also appoints organizers
and divides the country into districts
and Subdistricts. In these districts
various individual groups-the vari-
Gus language federations. the Anarch-
ist stCommunists, etc.-elect their cap
tains, and the captains elect the
branch organizers. The branch or
ganizers in turn elect the local or
ganizers. All are directly under the
authority OF the central executive
committee.
The organization, it is seen. is pat
termed much after the organization
of an army division. the Moscow ex-
ecutive committee taking the place
of general headquarters, the execu-
tive committee of the United States
In relative position Of regimen tal
headquarters. with the various Ian
guage federations, divisional groups
| and local groups reporting in much
tho same fashion as the battalion,
company and platoon, each group
having its own head, who is respon-
sihle to and takes orders from an
other head of a larger group.
Nor does the analogy stop there,
for discipline is one Of tho main
eachings of Communism. Not to do
what is assigned to one is an unfor-
givable breach of party loyalty. 1;
is the plan, in fact, to build up a
strong centralized organization of
military character, which. it is
planned. will lead the workers in due
time against the armed capitalist
state.
The next installment in this series
will appear tomorrow.

TWO DEATHS IN OHIO
LAID TO HCRAZY GASu
Several Men Also Made III During
General Motors Research.
Is Report.
By the Associated Press.

COLUMBUS. Ohio. November L.
The series OF deaths in connection
with the manufacture of ethyl gas"
or LEAD tetraethyl" at the Bayway-
pant Of the Standard Oil Co. at
Elizabeth. n. j.. had an apparent
counterpart earlier this year at the
research laboratories Of the Cen
eral Motors Co. at Dayton. Ohio. Dr.
]. +. Monger, director of the Ohio
department Of health, revealed here
yesterday.
A joint investigation by the de-
partment OF health and the state di-
vision of factory inspection showed
that certain chemicals of hitherto un-
known properties used in the manu-
fscture of the substance known as
ethyl had caused the death of two
persons and the illness of several
others.
DR.. Monger declared that the eI-
treme caution exhibited by the Day
ton concern in the manufacture OF
the gas made its danger TO garage
workers and auto repair men vir-
tually negligible. He declared tf1a {
the dangers connected with its manu-
facture had been confused with the
apparent harmlessness of the sub
stance as marketed and that no eri-
dence had been received at the health
department to prove that tetraethyl
lead was dangerous to the public.

The Prevention and Elimination OF

The Prevention and Elimination OF
Radio TrOubles-Part v.
A good sized book could be written
on the subject of how to select radio
parts, with details on the good and
bad points of radio apparatus.
In the short space available / will
have to confine myself to generalities.
To begin with, remember that the
chances of getting good apparatus
from reliable manufacturers who have
a reputation at stake are much bet
ter than when you buy the products
of manufacturers of the "fy-by-
! night" class, who are In radio for
whatever they can grab. The parts
of the reliable manufacturer may cost
you a little more, but they will give
you satisfaction that you can never
hope to get from parts made by the
second class of manufacturers.
Use standard tubes. but remember
that while the greater part of the
tubes bought in reliable stores are
good. bad tube occasionally gets by.
Do not take it for granted. therefore,
hat tube is good merely because
the filament lights up. If possible
that is working, or il you cannot
do that try it in some friends set
before you come to the conclusion
that something is wrong with your
set.
Applicable to Phones.
The same thing applies to phones.
While most phones are good when
they leave the factory. 1t is. always
possible to find one once in awhile
that is defective.
Some tubes will work we'll as am
plifierS. but cannot be made to oscil-
late and will not give good results
/ as detectors in regenerative circuits.
/ The only thing you can do in such a
case is to use the tube as an ampli-
| fer, exchange ii with n friend who
needs an amplifier tube or take it
back to the dealer.

RADIO QUERIES

Radio Editor:
Please inform me through your
radio section in The Star what sta
ton around sos meters was broad
casting Sunday night. The announce
ment sounded like WCEF. The an
nouncer asked how the radio audi
ence liked the new station, and also
said that prepaid kilograms would be
received. 4 r&usical selection played
was Roaming in the Gloaming."--
KING MALLORY.
The only new station which began
it's broadcast service last Sunday
night was WGBS, IN New York City.
1t transmits, however, on a 3l6-meter
wave band. Have no record of Il station
with the call letters WCEF.
Radio Editor:
VIII you please tell me what sta
tion was broadcasting about 7:15
o'clock Thursday evening? The pro-
gram at that time was a prayer. fol-
lowed by music and talks. I heard
the announcer say, THE Voice From
| Way Down South" and thought he
said WNAS. 1 looked on my radio
map and found that was Austin, Tex.
My husband thinks l heard this
| wrong. Would be very glad if you
could verify this for me. ] always
read your radio column and enjoy it
very much.-MRS. Ii. l.. BRIGGS.
WSB, Atlanta, Ga, uses the slogan,
The Voice of the South" No other
station in the South has Il slogan
similar to this. according to records
available. Moreover, WNAS stopped
| broadcasting months ago. You may
have heard WMAF in South Dart
mouth Mass. which uses the slogan,
The Voice From Way Down last"
Radio Editor:
VIII You please ask in your query
column for information as TO what
station broadcast the services Of d
Baptist Church from 1880 pm. Sun
day, October 20. TO 1880 am, Monday.
October -: The wave length was
approximately so meters, and this,
together with the fact that il must
certainly have been in the Pacific
time zone. leads me to think it was
kGO. The service includes the bap-
tismal ceremony and although ] un-
derstood the minister and recognized
some of the hymns. The last one
played was Abide With Ne" The
announcer's voice was unintelligible.
Since this is the first time that l have

frmation.-C. NJ. SMITH.
For positive confirmation you
should write to kGO. However. some
