NEW LICENSE LAW RIGID.
Florida Legislature Unanimous on
Bill Regulating Realty Men.

Passage of a new real estate license
law for Florida, held to be much
stronger in its enforcement pro-
visions than the license bill enacted
by the State two years ago, completes
the roll of such license legislation
enacted during the sessions of State
legislatures held in the early months
of 1925 in A. States.
The new Florida law was passed
unanimously by both House and
Senate. Under il administration Is
vested in the county judges of the
State with the assistance, of a Real
Estate Brokers ReSistrat ton Board.
The board is to consist of three per-
sons appointed by the Governor from
men who have had at least 10 years
experience in real estate. The board
is empowered to make such investiga-
tions as it deems necessary, and to
assist the courts in the prosecution
Of violations of the law.

The accident was caused by IAN

which left the track We're jammed
into the locomotive. Escaping steam

No difficulty had been experienced
at this point over period of 25
years or more" the report said, and

Engine Crew Blamed.
Investigation of the collision at
Ricohoc. La, which resulted in the
death of 13 persons and the injury
of Is others, on March % last, was
concluded today by report which
placed responsibility on an engine
crew.
The two trains which collided were
operating over the Louisiana and
Texas Railway section of the South
ern Pacific lines, and eastbound pas
senger train No. II was brought
squarely head-on into collision with
westbound passenger train No. 109.
This accident was caused by the
failure of train No, l. to apDroa ch

troll. as required by the rules: failure
TO wait at Ricohoc, as directed by
fore passing the block signal at The
cast end of Ricohoc passing track"
the commissions report said. for
which Engineman Mathews is pri.
marily responsible. Engine
man Mathews did not offer any ade-
quate explanation for his failure prop
erly to control his train. and ii is diff
cult to understand how an engiAemau
OF his experience could have become
so confused as to his location, not
withStanding the fact that there was
a dense fog. Because of this fog, which
materially obscured the view of sig
nails. he should have exercised
extraordinary care. Fireman Thibo-
daux should have been more alert to
the impending danger. and when the
train passed the water tank and tele-
phone booth without any reduction in
speed having been made. he should
have taken decisive action, which was
then necessary to avoid running be-
yond the east switch. An adequate
automatic train control system
would have prevented this accident"

Can You imagine getting a radio

experiments picked up song with his

without any carrier wave other than
the vibrations of the throat.
And Mr.. Strohmeyer's word can not
be doubted for be is the head of the

for fear of losing patent rights, having
lost several patents through giving dc
tails OF his work.
While working near the antcnnae
Tuesday afternoon he was attracted
by a whistling sound. He listened for
a while and then detected the notes
of the hooking bird. singing away IN
all of the abandon OF q wild lark.
The whistling notes were coming
from the new antennae. mysterious
affair which no one has seen but the
inventor. Then StrOhmeyer began to
look for the bird. As he left the an
tennae the concert faded little. but
after searching n while he found tn,

jumping from the chimney TO the roof
and back again. singing all the while.
Strohmeyer listened while and then
went back to the antennae and there
was the bird again. he being able to
see the bird in the distance. and hear
ing it at the same time being rebroaG-
cast by the antennae. u
Mr.. Strohmeyer has talked about
the phenomenon with several scientific >
ally inclined persons and most agree
that it is one Of the mysteries OF
resonance. the wire picking up the
vibrations of the birds song and re-
turning them into the air at increased
volume. :
Anyway. the new antennae whiek
was invented TO eliminate static, APP
parently has been success in that it

bROADCASTERS
To BE SILENT
FOR TESTS
Stations Will Cooperate
to Let Public Try
for Europe.

Broadcasters of the United States
will gladly stay off the air one hour
each evening during International
Radio Week, January 24-30, 1926,
according to advance information re-
ceived by the executive committee
handling this event.
Formal action by the broadcasters
of the United States will come at q
meeting of the National Association
of Brosdcasters which will be held
early in November, this body being
expected to handle the broadcasting
features Of the week from the Amer
lean side.
while we haze no official word
from the broadcasters' society,"" L..
A. Nixon. secretary of the radio week
committee said, "wc have had advance
assurance from some OF the more
prominent brondcasters OF the coun-
try that there will be no question of
a hitch in observing the silent hour
so that American listeners may hear
the overseas stations.
"The official silent hour will be
from eleven 10 twelve Eastern stand
ard time, according to our present
information, and while this will not
work tremendous hardship on
Eastern stations, it represents n
rather important hour to the broad
casters in the central and western
states.
THE cooperation OF the broad
castine stations of the country in past
international tests has been one of
the most important factors, and We
believe that this same cooperation
extended for the coming event, will
continue to be one Of the greatest
factors in helping thousands of the
American listeners TO add another
foreign station or two to their lists.

November TO January 24-30 which was
authorized at the recent meeting Of
the radio week committee, was made

companying international radio broad
casting tests into the best possible

conceded a better radio month than

They will operate two sepa-

ceive two different wave-lengths
at the same time will connect one
earphone with the set adjusted

STATION FREQUENCIES.

Broadcasting stations are placed on
certain wave lengths and even today
the position of q station is given in
meters, while actually the stations are
placed at equal divisions Of frequency.
The condensers were accordingly made
to tune by equal changes i'll wave
length.
The frequency difference of two
stations on Il low wave may be lO
kilocycleS. yet they both may r. To-
Gated within a band of two meters.
II these two stations were located on
high waves and separated by 10 kilo-
cycles the wave length Of the two
might be five or six meters apart.
This makes the lower wave lengths
appear TO he very congested when or
binary variable condensers are used
for tuning. Stations on the high
waves are just as close together and.
in fact. every available frequency
band has been occupied by two or
more stations.
EASIER TUNING.
This matter is now being corrcccd
by designing condensers that tune by
equal variations in frequency, rather
than changes OF capacity or wave
length. The best new condenser has
n straight line frequency celebration
curve that changes the tuning of tho
circuit in approximately 10 kilocycles
for each division on the dial.
Stations are spread over the dial
equally, with stations on the lower
end Of the dial separated and the high
wave length stations crowded together
n preat deal more than on ordinary
condenser dials. This makes tuning
easier and eliminates the need for
hairline tuning devices and vernier
controls and helps to clear up the mp
parent congestion on the lower wave

LETTERING PANELS.

To letter on panels of receiving
sets without the use of engraving
tools, first clean off the surface with
alcohol to the remove the film of dirt
and grease. The lettering can then
be done with n fine lettering pen,
using thin Chinese white or else
draftsman's white ink. Allow the
lettering to dry thoroughly and then
cover the inscription with a coat Of
transparent varnish, using soft
varnish brush.

took careful counsel among them
selves. AS a result, production sched-
ulcs have been very carefully gone
over and the national aggregate Of
manufactured radio products has been
cut in half and may be cut even
more.
preliminary estimates called for a
production of four million receiving
sets. This estimate is down now to
two million and in all probability
not more than a million and one-haH
sets will be manufactured.
I'm revising the production sched'
ules downward, manufacturers arc
protecting not only themselves, but
also the public. They must protect
the public because, in the final an
alysis, their prosperity is dependent
on public appreciation.
INSURE AGAINST LOSS.
by keeping production within
sound limits, manufacturers are in
surfing against heavy inventory loss
and can build better sets for less
money. The same holds true for loud
speakers and all associated radio mer-
chandise.
"All the rumors to the contrary re.
gardless. the public may be assured
that there is not going to be any
heavy reproduction, and that any
price cutting, if IL comes. will be due
not to ovcr-production but to MGR
chandise which cannot sell on the
usual basis of good apparatus honest.
