It's enforcement" Mfr. Wheeler said
There are more than 40 national wet
orgs MIA tions mobiliZing their forces
to get 2.75 beer and to spread their
poison propaganda so that the law
cannot be enforced. They are being
aided by the wet liquor organizations
OF Europe, the smugglers from Rum

mobilize and outorganize these
enemies of enforcement, and repulse
their every effort at attacking the
constitution. If those who favor the
eighteenth amendment stand pat it
is only a matter of time until we can
break these law breaking forces
Mr.. Wheeler declared that rumors
that the ChurCneS and the Antl-SalOOn

forcement are a misconception, and
are being used by wet forces to break
down the morale of the drys. He in

Prohibition practically is paying it's
own way now, Mr.. Wheeler declared
His assertion was based, he said, on
reports of the United States Govern
ment on the cost of prohibition en-
forcement and the fines to the Govern.

amount expended by the Federal Gov
ernment through the prohibition unit
of the Treasury Depa rtment for the

The amount of fines and penalties
imposed in the Federal courts was
1884, ,S54.69, and the amount actually
paid in during the II months was
more than S5,00O,0o0. These amounts
do not include fines collected in State

SEEK BROADCASTING
OF 0NE-ACT PLAYS
Booking Agents Circularize Vari-
Gus Radio Stations on Sub
ject of Playlets.

Several booking agencies for the
one-act play, either for direct or in.
direct advertising. have sprung into
existence and circularized the leading
hroadcasting stations in an effort to
determine what use they can make of
the playlet on the air.
Several stations, including the three
General Electric Co. stations. WGY
at Schenectady: kGO. at Oakland. md
kOA. at Denver. have worked out a
scheme of broadcasting plays which
met with considera Bile success during
recent months. A full company of
players. recruited for the most part
among the employees of the General
Electric plants. provided one presen.
tatlon a week at each station.
Other stations have taken occa sional
flyers into the radio drama game. but
most OF them have laid it aside until
1t can be developed TO a greater de-
gree.
Under the plans of the agencies
now at work on the broadcasting of
one-act plays, skits will be written
which are especially adapted to radio
and which can develop their effects
through the spoken word and other
sounds If the sketches prove popu.
lar they will be offered to broadca st
advertisers. who will then make the
presentations under their trade name.
One of the most interesting pieces
of work of this sort was carried out
by WEAF and a chain of seven sta
tons in broa dcasting a radio version
of Camille some time ago. 1t is
understood that WEAF is planning
another attempt to interest radio
listeners in the radio drama.

as long as $50 feet without bad results,
unless your set is not selective. If
you find after erecting your aerial that
1t is too long and you're troubled by
interference and cannot eliminate sta
t1ons very easily, cut down the length h
of the aerial. All that is necessary to
do this is to lower the support at the
far end of the aerial, cut the horizontal
span about 20 to 25 feet nearer to the
leadfn end and insert another aerial
insulator. A good plan is to start
with long aerial, about 100 to
$50 feet in length over all, including
lead-in, and then shorten it about 10
feet at time until you get a length
that gives you best results You will
find 1t easier to fit your aerial TO your
set than to fit the set to the aerial.
Long and Short Antennas.
In many cases very little attention
can be given to such fine points as
directive properties. because the ma n
ner in which the aerial is erected is
governed not by preference but by the
conditions imposed by location of the
apartment and supports. If YOU are
interested only in local programs, very
little is to be gained by considering
directive properties of aerials. For
distance reception, however, erect your
aerial, if possible. so that a line drawn
from the far end of your aerial and
passing through the lead-in end, if
continued, would pass through the dis
tant station which you would like to
receive with greatest efficiency
The use of more than one wire for
an aerial is not recommended, except
where the length of the aerial is lin.
ited. If you can get a horizonta
stretch of so feet, do not bother with
two or three wire aerials.

AMATEURS FACING

Now Polling Ranks to Determine
If Diminution Is to Be

Confronted with the probability of
losing another batch of their wave
lengths at the next national radio
conference, the amateurs of the
United States have begun to poll their
ranks as to what. if any, opposition
shall be made to the proposal
According to all indications, the
downward trend of the wave-length
bands for broadcasting stations un.
doubtedly will necessitate the annex
alton of the wave lengths be-
tween $50 and 200 meters. at
present used extensively by amateurs.
In return for the appropriation of this
band, 1t is expected that additional
bands lying. below $50 meters will be
offered to the amateurs. And, in view
of the intense interest being shown
by many amateurs in the exceedingly
low wave lengths, it is believed that
at least large group will make no
complaint.
There are. on the other hand. a
great many amateurs who have reed
Justed their transmitters and receivers
to work around $50 meters and have
made use of their amateur licenses
solely for the entertainment thev de-
rive in conversing with their fellow
radio fans in other cities and other
countries. To them the loss of the
18O-meter wave length would be a
matter of considerable annoyance.
Hiram p. Maxim. head of the Radio
Relay League, at the last radio con
ference represented the amateurs and
urged at that time that the rights of
the original radio fans be respected
and that they be allowed to keep the
wave lengths assigned to them. He
pointed out that broadcasting had al
ready taken away nearly all of the
wave lengths originally enjoyed by the
amateurs.

Be Careful in Constructing Your

1t takes a lot of pains and expense
to build set to overcome the handi-
caps imposed by poor aerial. There
is no part of a receiver installation
which will respond as nobly to good
treatment as the aerial system.
AS far as cost is concerned. 1t takes
very little extra material or quality of
parts to make n good aerial than it
does to make poor aerial. Yet many

The reason for this lack of care in

own judgment in erecting an aerial
that is as good as circumstances will
allow.
Length of Antenna Explained.
The length to be used is governed
largely by local conditions and the type
or set you are going to use. If you
have a powerful set of the five-tIlbe
type, do not use an aerial longer than
100 feet, including the length of lead
in wire. If your aerial is to be erected
on the roof and you are located on
the first floor. say about so feet from
the roof, count the length between
the roof and your window as part of

portion not more than so feet.
