leading fans to believe that the I'M
portance OF good ground has been
grossly overestimated.
\ II you really want to find out how
much difference a good ground makes
get crystal set or any one-tube set
that Is not particularly sensitive and
try 1t with good ground and with a
poor ground
Then you will notice the difference.
The difference in volume when a
good set with plenty of ampliflcation
Is used is not so pronounced because
the amplifcation used makes up for
the loss in sensitivity due to resist
ance in the antenna circuit intro
duced by a poor ground. When you
do notice 1t on set employing am
plifcation is when you try fishing for
distant stations.
Then you will find that the set
performs entirely different when it
has good ground than when you
use poor ground.
Then you will notice that while
your set will bring in local stations
with plenty of volume without any
ground connection at all, it can't be
made to bring in the distant ones un-
TIL you connect up a good ground to
the set.
Or course, II you are using a long
antenna and have trouble in separat-
ing the local stations it is all very
well to leave off the ground connec-
tion, as that Will sharpen up the
tuning considerably, but when you
go after distant stations and have TO
conserve every bit of the energy in
tercepted by the antenna, you will
find that good low-resistance
ground will be worth a stage of am
plification in bringing in distance.
Whenever possible the ground con-
nection should be made to water

OF course If that is impossible you
will have to be satisfied with the

connection to a gas pipe, as that Is
forbidden by the fire underwriters
1t is not sufficient to wrap the wire
around the pipe. The Underwriters

NEW WAVE BANDS
ASSIGNED DONCOAST
RealIocation of Nine Class B
Stations on Pacific Made
by Commerce Department.
BY Consolidated Press.


Listeners East of the Rockies who
have encountered difficulty during the
past month in locating stations on
the Pacific Coast can begin their tun-
ings anew with positive assurance
that the stations actually will be on
the air whether they are heard or
not.
Reallocation of the nine Pacific
Coast class B stations was announced
yesterday by the Department of Com
merce. Under the new ALLEGATION,
five OF the leading kay" stations
have been permanently assigned new
wave lengths. heretofore used only
in tests.
KGO, Oakland, has been moved
from 312 meters to 361.1; XIII, Los
Angeles, goes up 10 points to 405.1
KPO. San Francisco, makes slight
advance to 42s.5; KFOA. Seattle, is
assigned to 3s4.4, and KFAE. Pull
man. Washington, is given 1886.
The four other class B stations on
the Pacific Coast remain approx
mately on their old wave lengths
namely, xxx, Hollywood. 1868: KF1

Pacific Coast stations which will &C
on the air in the near future. Among
these stations are those to be located
at Corvallis, Greg; Phoenix, Ariz.
Pasadena, Calf: Salt Lake City;
Missoula, Mont, and two new stations
at Seattle and one new plant at Los
Angeles.
The reallocation Of the Pacific Coast
stations completes the experiment
conducted by the Department Of Com
merce for the past two months to de-
termine how best to crowd In al
Of the class B stations in the space
allotted to them on tho air.
Wave lengths have been assigned
to all the class B stations now oper-
ating and to those that will make
their debut in the immediate future
But under the new system, the 5. r
Q. sign has been hung out for any
additional arrivals in that class.
According to w. D. Terrell. CHIEF
radio supervisor. there are no more
wave lengths. Organizations planning
to broadcast must stand by and wal
either until a wave length is va
Gated or until an additional band i.
provided for the class B stations.

It is often overlooked.
Another contributory cause to poor

FOG SIGNALS BY RADIO.
Light Vessel at Nantucket Shoals
Demonstrates Utility.

The Nantucket Shoals light vessel is
sounding radio fog signals and the
submarine oscillator spontaneously.
Vessels equipped with radio and sub
marine signal receivers may deter
mine their distance from the light
vessel with accuracy.
The radio fog signal sounds, every
80 seconds, groups Of four dashes for
60 seconds and then is silent for 80
seconds. The submarine oscillator
sounds three groups of six blasts
every 90 seconds, thus: Six blasts of
one second each, 2 seconds silent;
six blasts of one second each, 81 sec
onds silent; silence between blasts in
group, 3.5 seconds. In each reception
Of the characteristics of the signals
the first dash of the radio fog signal
and the first blast of the oscillator
are sounded simultaneously; the diff
ference in time in seconds between
the reception of the dash and the
blast multiplied by 1000 gives the
distance in yards separating the OBJ
serving vessel from the light vessel.

EXPERIMENT IN RADIO.
Result Of Amateur Effort to Reach
Arctic Schooner.

An amateur radio transmitting sta
ton was established recently by the
American Radio Relay League for
the purpose OF communicating with
the schooner Bowdoin on her return
from the Arctic.
After the transmitter had been
rigged up an unaccountable shifting
in the length Of the transmitte ed
wave took place. 1t was finally dis
covered that the rise and fall of the
tide was responsible. The counter
poise was erected directly over the
water and the tide changed its eff
fectiye capacity.

Requests that come to broadcasting
stations range from the care OF radio
sets to the possibilities OF success in
farming on the Virgin Islands. The
desire for the return of missing per

the number of requests for help in

GENERAL MOTORS DENIES NEW
TYPE AUTO AND FUEL.

Reports of the discovery of a new
automobile fuel that would revolu-
tionize the motor car industry today
were characterized as ridiculous by
A. P. Sloane, Jr., president of the
General Motors Corp, said Herb Kur-
vinen, general distributor of Bucks
in this section. Mr.. Sloane took cog
nizance of reports published on the
strength of a statement reputed to
have been made before the annual
convention of the American Chem
ical society of Los Angeles.
"My attention has been called to
recent statements in the public press
relative to revolutionary inventions
in the way of type OF automobile
for new motor fuel or something
else new and radical.
''These reports are ridiculous on
their face for General Motors has re-
Gently announced new series of cars
which should be sufficient answer.
In addition to this there is absolute
ly nothing to form even the slightest
foundation for such a statement.

Both of the young people are too

Both are graduates of The Ely

get at the cost Of improvements to
the depot in 35 years and we guar
antee that the total cost will not
be in excess of the cost of the ped
estal and fence at and around the
Two Harbors relic plot.
All this has no bearing on the
fact that the Ely depot is crying
shame and should be replaced with
a building BETTING the city and the
business given to the railroad in ard
tout of Ely. We still maintain that
the road does more passenger,
freight, express and mail business
out of the Ely station than out Of
all the stations on the road con-
bined. We except, of course, the
passenger business out Of Two Har-
bors but will qualify this by saying
that two cash sares out % Ely sur
passes the gross income of the one
or more extra coaches daily at

Maybe the erection of a. attract

that something is due US, besides an
extra toilet in the old depot, for the
thousands of dollars spent in getting
tourists into this section in which
the railroad shares to a much larger
cash value than from any other
station on the line.
Let's have a new station. Also,
why not take over the bus line and
put up a fine combined passenger
station? That's the ticket. Let's
go.
