Shipping Problems

The maintenance Of a merchant
marine Is of the utmost i'm.
portance for national defense and
the service of our commerce. We
have a large number Of ships en-
gagged in that service. We also
q have a, surplus supply, costly to
care for, which ought to be sold.
Ali the Investigations that have
been made under my direction,
and those which have been prose
cuted independently, have reached
the conclusion that the fleet should
be under the direct control Of a
single executive head, while the
Shipping Board should exercise
it's judicial and regulatory func-
lions in accordance with it's
original conception. The report
of Henry G.. Dalton. a business
man of broad experience, with
a knowledge of shipping, made to
me after careful investigation,
will be transmitted for the in.
formation of the Congress, the
studies pursued under the d.
rection of the United States
Chamber Of Commerce will also
be accessible, and added to these
will be the report of the special
committee of the House. ,....
do not advocate the elimina-
tional OF regional considerations,
but it has become apparent that
without centralized executive &C.
ton the management of this
great business, like the manage
ment of any other great business,
will founder in incapacity and
languish Under a%diyision of coun'
Gil. A plain and unlnistakable re-
assertion of this principle Of uni
fled control, which Il have always
been advised was.the intention of
the Congress Ito apply, is neces-
saFy to increase the efficiency OF
our, merchant fleet. i

Muscle Shoals

The problem Of Muscle Shoals
seems to me to have assumed
place all out Of proportion with
its real importance. 1t probably
does not represent, in market value
much more than first-class bat
tleship. yet 1t has been discussed
In the Congress over a period of
years and months at a time. It
ought to be developed for the
production of nitrates primarily,
and incidentally for power pur-
noses. This would serve defen-
siye, agricultural, mad Industrial
purposes. The findings OF the
special commission will be trans
mitted to the Congress for their
Information. I am convinced that
the best possible disposition can
he made by direct authorization
OF the Congress. AS a means Of
negotiation I recommend the i'm
mediate appointment of a small
Joint special committee chosen
from the appropriate general
standing committees of the House
and Senate to receive bids, which
when made should be reported
with recommendations as to &C.
ceptance. upon which a law should
be enacted. effecting sale to the
highest bidder who will agree to
carry out these purposes.

Federal Trade Commission

The proper function eoe tthe Fed
eral Trade Commission Is to
supervise and correct those prac-
tees in commerce which are detri-
mental to fair competition. In
this it performs useful function
and should be continued and sup
ported. 1t was designed also to
be a help to honest business. In
my message to the Sixty-eighth
Congress recommended that
changes in the procedure then
existing be made. Since then the
commission by It's own action has
reformed it's. rules, giving greater
speed and economy In he dis
posal Of its cases and fuil oppor-
tunity for those accused to be,
heard. These changes are ina
provements, ana, If necessary,
provision should be made for
their Dermanency.

Coal Industry

The perennial conflict in the
coal industry is still going on to
the great detriment of the wage
earners, the owners and espe-
cially to the public. With de-
posi- of coal In this country
capable of supplying its needs for
hundreds of years, inability to
manage and control this great re-
source. for the benefit of all con.
cerned is very close to a national
economic failure. 1t has been
the, subject of repeated investiga-
ton and reiterated recommends
ton. Yet the industry seems
never to have accepted modern
methods of adjusting differences
between employers and employees.

SH0RT-WAvE STATION
ON WARSHlP SUCCESSFUL
Many U. S. Radio Enthusiasts Kept
in Contact With Fleet by
Experimental Work.

From Plymouth. Mass, to the Cali
fornia coast stations, NRRL. expert
mental short wave station on the u. s.
s. Sea title, in the South Pacific. under
the guidance of Lieut.. f. H. Schnel,
traffic manager of the American Radio
Relay League. has made records for
7wo-way communication by low-pow
cred radio. Despite the fact that the
feet is steadily steaming southwest in
the Pacific and rapidly increasing the
distance from the United tSates there
seems TO be no difficulty in getting
signals back to the United States with
the utmost clarity.
Ralph Pierce, station 1AXA. Of
Plymouth. Mass, and Glance II. Jack
son, station 1PL. of Bridgewater,
Mass. were two of the most distant
stations to work with NRRL.
Among other United States stations
that were successful several times In
working with this experimental sta
tion were: 9DDP, owned and operated
by Carl Jacobson of Kenneth, Mimi;
eBXQ, station of II. NJ. Williams of
Denver, Colo; 9AHD, Ralph r. Will
liams of Denver, and SPL, W. X.
Francis of Shawnee. Okla. This last
station reported good results when
the fleet was 1000 miles south of
Honolulu.

Characteristics of the DV-1, DV2,
DT-3 and DV-6A Tubes.

While the Radio Corporation and
Cunningham tubes are the two most
widely distributed brands of vacuum
tubes, there are several other brands
of Independent tube manufacturers
which are rapidly gaining in popu-
larity.
OF these the De Forest DIV series
are among the leaders. The DV-1
tube is in the class of the UY-1s9 and
C-299 tubes. This is a dry cell tube
which can be used as a detector,
radio frequency amplifier. audio fre-
auency amplffier and osctllator. 1t
has an amplification constant of 8.
Its mutual conducstance is from 200
to $50 micromhos depending on plate
voltage used. The terminal voltage
required Ia three volts and Is OBJ
tained by using three / Il volt dry cells
In series for a total of Az volts. A
rheostat of 80 ohms resistance must
be used to regulate the filameHt volt
age. At its rated filament voltage the
filanent current consumption is 0.o6
milliamperes giving an energy con-
sumption of 0.lS watts. The late
voltage required Is 22ts to as volts
when used as a detector and 45 to
so volts when used as an amplifier or
oscilator. The plate current varies
from one to four milliamperes accord
ing to applied plate voltage, with a
,1slate energy consumption Of from %
to s.bout o.S2 watts.
p Standard Navy Base.
:. Unlike the UNE199 and C-29s 1t has
a standard Navy-type base which will
fit into ans standard socket.
The -DV-3 tube is very similar in
its characteristics as the-Dv-1, having
tho same filaInent and plate current
characteristics as the DV-l and is
used 2or the same purpose. 1t has,
however, a lower amplidcation con-

slant of but a higher mutual con-
ductance which reaches up to 460
micronhos at the higher plate volt
ages. 1t also has a standard base.
The DV2 tube is a power amplifier
tube operating at low filament cur
rent. The amplification constant of
this tube is about Z and the average
mutual conductance 720 mieromhos.
The required filament voltage is Az
volts and can be obtained by using
6volt. storage battery and a 6-ohm
rheostat. Its current consumption at
the rated filament voltage is OPS
amperes giving an energy consump-
tion of 1.13 watts. 1t can be used as
a detector with 22b to 60 volts on
the plate and as a radio or audio
frequency amplifier with As to $50
volts on the plate. This tube has the
standard Navy-type base and may be
used in any standard socket.
Suitable for Detector.
The DV--6A has practically the
same filament current requirements
as the DV-2 tube but is not as pow
as detector, radio or aduio frequency
amplifier and oscillator but does not
give as good results as the DV-2.
Its amplifcation constant is SIS and
its mutual conductance is $50
micromhoS. Tt should be used with
a 6-volt storage battery and 6-ohm
rheostat. 1t has a standard Navy
type base.
For general all-around use on dry
cells, the DE-3 will be found to give
best results, while for use with a g.
volt storage battery the DN2 will
provide the best means OF getting
k-eat volume and best reproduction.
White there are many other makes
of tubes. it is impossible TO give in
formation on all of them in a short
series of this kind. | have therefore
selected the tubes that are best known
and are most easily obtained.

HOOD AND HARDELL
LEAD BILL ON WCAP
Joint Recital to Take Place
~ of First Act of Can
eeIed Opera.

Gretchen Hood and Everett Hardel,
TWO of Washington's most popular
radio singers, will give joint recital
tonight US the principal feature Of
WCAP's musical program. Miss Hood
Is a soprano and has been heard
number of times as Soloist with the
United States Navy Band. Mr.. Har-
deb. a tenor. is known as the 'Caruso
or the ether"
The joint recital of Miss Hood and
Mr.. Ifardell occupies the preferred po-
sttion on WCAP'S program by virtue
OF the failure of the Washington
Opera Co. to present THE Spring
Maid tonight at Polls .Theater. The
advanced program of the c. & p. Tele
phone Co. station had billed the over
ture and first act of This production
as its headline attraction.
Tower Health Talk
WCAP will start hs program with
The weekly Tower Health Talk. which
will come via WEAF. 1t will then
transfer the audience TO the studio
and broadcast a group Of piano Sc
lections by Mrs. cForrine Norris Dahn
and a recital by Earl Carbauh, bari
tone
Other features which will come from
the studio inclhde the joint recital
of Miss Hood 2Snd Mr.. HardeN, selec-
lions on the guitar and harp guitar
by George BaUey and Roger Hin. Sc
lected readings by Maurice Fl. Jarvis
and recit:h by Florence Williams
Parker, English concert pianist.
WRC is laroadcasting as its princi-
pal feature this afternoon ptay-by-
play accCGnt of the Washington
Cleveland base ball game. At
o'clock IL will broadcast the concert
of the United States Marine Band on
The CapStol Plaza. and follow this at
6.55 o clock with an announcement
of the base ball results in the major

ANTENNA RULES.
Should Be as Free From Obstruc-
tions as Possible.

Never put up an antenna near power
wires, for obvious reasons. Never put
up an antenna so that it runs through
trees, near brick structures, near steel
Ernokestacks or near any kind of
Eteel or stone structure. Antennas
should be kept at least 10 or 90 feet
clear of these. This will prevent any
loss of energy.
Put up the antenna as free and clear
Of obstructionS as possible. The an
tenna does not have to run in a
straight line: # may be bent at right
angles, using an insulator to support
the elbow.
