Although the industry has been vir-

be a banner year. Earle predicts.
Rigid supervision OF the industry
and adherence by all oystermen to
Federal regulations which will be
drafted this week at the national
conference In Springfield, ILL.,, will
inspire complete confidence in the
industry, resulting in Unprecedented
business next season, according to

RADIO QUERIES

Radio Editor:
Referring to your column of the
past week containing letters on in
reference by Mr.. Cain, Mr.. Massey
and Mr.. Webb, they have, II anything,
understated the case. In my vicinity,
n street near 18th street, the same
interference develops. The hum and
cracking complained of sounds like
the hum of a high-speed power belt
with static discharges. Another dis
turbance, which is intermittent
throughout the evening. is similar 10
that made by an irate telephone sub
scriber juggling his receiver hook
when central is little slow. The
crack is as sharp as when central
reciprocates.
On the wave band 24S to 266 meters
during the early part OF the evening
there is another high pitched hum:
this can be gotten through, but it
spoils reception. There are other mi
nor interferences which are not al
ways present. So much for involun-
tary interferences.
1 do not desire to get into con-
troversy in regard TO deliberate in
references. From a perusal of your
columns il seems that it is only nee
essary TO mention to possibility Of
careless and deliberate interference
by amateurs to precipitate an ava
lanche of semi -vituperation. The fol-
lowing is a history of Friday nights
occurrences, from which any one is at
liberty to draw his own conclusions.
There is no difference in volume of
reception between KDKA and the To-
cal stations. At 7:45 pm. a beautiful
spark Gin using spark I mean tele-
graphic stattons) cut in on kDKA at
309 and crowded him off He came in
from 240 meters to $50, wiping out
everything within those limits Ny
antenna is directional with WCAP
yet with the latter going full power
from the studio I only sacrifice about
100 meters in getting him out The
indications are that this spark sta
ton is very close to my set. (The
wave-band signals from the Bureau
of Standards did not start until 10
p.m.)
During the next hour I tuned in
exactly eight sparks running from
24S to $50 meters. These were sta
tions and not carrier waves The
worst ones were from 24s to 278. One
was a plug like a COW pulling it's
foot out of the mud; one was q hiss
ing squeal like quenching a hed-hot
bar in water; one sounded like tear
ing a piece of canvas: several were
clear, high and musical. and the 9TH
ers more or less defy description.
To avoid the comeback that the set
used was not sufficiently selective, I
will state the following:
The following stations with the
same allotted wave CTS meters) were
on the air at one time Friday night
WHAR, Atlantic City, 100 watts:
WHAD, Milwaukee, 500 watts; WAS,
Pittsburgh, 500 watts, and WGAZ,
South Bend, $50 watts. Due no doubt
to slight variations in their actual
transmitting lengths, they were all
brought in one after the other clearly
and distinctly on the loud speaker
during a lull in the sparks. The
movement on the selector dial was
less than one-half of q division for
the whole four stations.
There is a gap in the spark sta
tions from $50 meters to about 500
meters when the carrier waves Of the

the static disturbances originat-
ing In places lying in the direction
in which it is pointing, so that the
number and intensity of these dis
turbances which are capable OF max
ing themselves felt in such a re-
ceiver are cut down considerably. re-
sulting in quieter operation. This
feature of lop reception is especially
valuable during the Summer months
when static disturbances are par
ticularly annoying.
The same directional characters
tics that enable a loop set to prac-
tically eliminate static disturbances
also afford protection against "squeal-
ing" or radiating sets because the
only "squealing" sets that have any
considerable effect are those which
are located in the general direction
in which the loop is pointing.
"Squealers" from other directions
will not cause any serious interfer-
ence OF the type they cause in sets
which use an outside antenna.
Another great advantage of the
loop set is it's inherent stability. The
settings of the dials on a loop set are
not affected by changes in atmos-
pheric conditions or by changes In
the location of the receiver TO any
thing like the extent to which sets
using outside antennas are affected
1t is a very simple proposition to
log loop set so that once a station
has been tuned in and the readings
of the dials recorded, one can go
back to that station at some other
time by the simple procedure of
setting the dials to the settings for
that station.
This characteristic OF a loop set
aids greatly in tuning in other sta
tions which have not yet been tuned
in because all that need be done is
10 adjust the controls to the posi-
tions which should bring in the de-
sired station, granting, of course, that
the broadcasting station is broad
casting and that the set is sensitive
enough to pick up the program from
| that particular station. If the set
| has already been LOGGED for a num-
| ber OF broadcasting stations so that
you have the settings for station
slightly below and for another
slightly above the wave length of the
desired station, the station you want
should be brought in on settings
somewhere between the other two.

BRUNSWICK STARS !
TOP WRC PROGRAM
Fourth and Last Event of
Music Memory Contest
Listed for Tonight.

The fourth and final program of the
February Brunswick music memory
contest Will be broadcast tonight by
WRC as one of the chief features OF
a varied program. Another outstand-
ing attraction is a concert by the
United States Navy Band, under the
direction of Charles Benter.
As usual, the Brunswick program
viii he on the air from to 10 o'clock.
The final contest program for Febru-
airy offers a slightly easier task for
the listeners, since the process of
elimination has materially reduced
the list of possible artists who ap
pear incognito. Out of the 20 artists
eligible for participation in the pro-
grams, at least 10 already have taken
part in the three previous broad
casts. The chain of stations which
will be linked up for this concert in

While the Brunswick contest probably
takes the center Of the stage tonight the
other features on WRCS program are
equally good. After Peggy Albion's chill
drens stories, the Meyer Davis New
Willard Orchestra, under the direction Of
Augustine Borguno, will furnish one
hour of dinner music. Another hour will
be taken by the United States Navy

The Advantage of Loop Reception
Part III.

Aside from the ease with which a
loop receiver can be installed the
greatest advantage of the loop re-
ceiver lies in its ability to cut out
interference even from powerful
nearby stations and reach out and
bring in the distant stations.
No other method of radio reception
can compart with loop reception
when it comes TO cutting out inter-
ference and separating stations that
are only few meters apart, regard
less of how close the undesiIed sta
tions are located.
The directional characteristics of
the loop antenna make II possible to
increase the intensity of signals from
stations in the plane of the loop and
TO decrease the intensity of signals
from stations from all other direc-
tions so that the number of stations
from which signals are received with
maximum intensity can be regulated
by turning the loop so that 1t points
In the direction of the desired station.
1t is this property OF the loop that
gives 1t the extreme selectfvity which
is rapidly assuming greater and
greater importano as the number of
broadcasting stations increases, and
tuning from one station to another
becomes moro and more difficult.
The directional property of the
loop also makes it possible to practi-
cally eliminate static noises.
The ordinary type of outside or
inside antenna receives almost equally
well from all directions SO that static
discharges, no matter where they
originate, all affect the set and make
their unwelcome presence felt, much
to the annoyance of the listener.
The lop aerial, due to its direc-
tional characteristics, receives only

VITAL RADIO ITEMS
HIDDEN IN MEASURE
Appropriation Bill Asks Money for
World Conference on Sub
ject Next Fall.

By Consolidated Press.
Buried deeply in the middle Of a
fifty -million-dollar appropriation bill
to be considered by the House of
Representatives this week are two
items, relatively s9all in amounts,
but large in their Importance to radio.
Far-reaching in effect especially Is
the smaller of these two items-a re-
quest by the State Department for
$4,000 with which to finance an in
ternational radio conference next
Fall. The other appropriation is
sought by the radio section of the De-
field personnel to a point where it
can hope to cope with its problems
during the coming year.
With the s125,oO0 asked-and ap-
proved by the Bureau of the Budget
the Department of Commerce would
add 81 men to the radio sections
field force which is charged with the
task of investigating interference,
watch for violation of air regulations
generally and assist listeners and
broadcasters with their problems.
Just "a men now handle that big
job. They have to work day and
night to police the ether and keep
abreast of what is going on.
Plans for the international radio
conference contemplate the first real
get-together meeting of the world S
radio experts since the birth Of broad
casting. The conference would be
held probably in September or October
of this year and SO or more nations
would be represented by their leading z
radio inventors and manufacturers.
1t would be the first world conference
of the kind since a meeting held in
London 13 years ago. The World
War upset plans for another in 1917
and since then no arrangement has
been concluded for an international
parley on wireless communication in
all its forms.

 THE LATEST
Cod Liver Oil Now in Tasteless Tablets
Greatest Flesh Builder

No more will weak, thin, unfortu- nate children cry in protest when the nasty, fishy-tastihg, horrible-smelling cod liver oil is brought out.
 Medical science progresses rapidly, and now you can get at your drug gist's real, genuine cold liver oil in sugar. coated tablets that young and old can take with ease and pleasure. Even the rundown and skinny grown-ups. who ought to take cod liver oil, because it really ie the greatest yitamine food and builder of healthy flesh in the world, will feel extremely joyful when they read this welcome news.
 Of course, doctors have been pre- sCribing cod liver oil in tablets under another name for several years, but it is only of late that one can walk into a drug store and get a box of these producing tablets just as easy as bottle of cough syrup.
 Thin, rundown, anaemic men, women and children who need to grow strong and take on flesh are advised to get box of McCoy's Cod Liver Oil Compound Tablets, and if you don't gain pounds in 30 days just get your money back.
 One woman gained fifteen pounds in five weeks, according to her own doctor-another ten pounds in three weeks. A very sickly child, aged nine. twelve pounds in seven months, and now plays with other children and has good appetite.
 Just ask for McCoy's Cod Liver Oil Compound Tablets. Dickinson Drug Co. or any good druggist will tell you that. they are wonderful flesh and health builders. Only 60 cents for 60 tablets, and don't forget that they are wonder workers for feeble old folks.
 Be sure and get McCoy's, the orig inal and genuine.
