Playwright Interested in Radio.

No playwright has taken a greater
interest in the radio drama and its
possibilities than CoSmo Hamilton, the
Englishman, whose productions are
we'll known on the American stage
Mr.. Hamilton has given a series of
talks on "Unwritten History" from a
New York station, and the response
which he received from these efforts
partly accounts for his early interest
in radio.
Several weeks ago, before his return
to England to direct the production of
his play. THE Silver Fox" Mr.. Ham
ilton gave the WGY Players permis-
sion to produce four of his plays. The
first of these. THE Silver Fox was
put on the air recently by. WGY, and
the next will be Scandal" three-act
comedy, scheduled for Friday evening.
WY of New York will rebroadcast the
performance. The lines of the play
are full of color and rich in human in

Hint on Radio Receivers.

In designing a radio receiver the
radio fan is up against the problem
of getting efficiency without sacritic-
ing the appearance of the panel lay
out. Frequently. the best arrange
ment of the coils, condensers and
other parts. when judged from q
strictly low-loss point of view, re
suits in an awkward layout for the
front panel. 1t may be necessary to
compromise between efficiency and
good looks, but don't sacrifice every
thing for looks.

WOULD CURB STATIONS
TO RELIEVE CONGESTION
Remedy Seen In Allowing Only
First Glass Bills Instead of
Continuous Programs.

Among the many remedies sug-
gested for clearing up congestion of
the ether, is one which in the opinion
of many students of radio problems.
including Government officials who
deal with the subject, would go q
long way toward relieving the muddle
and satisfying the listeners.
The remedy is simple: Let the
broadcasters stay off the air except
when they can offer first-class enter
tainment and let them get rid of
their ideas that they must keep the
ether full of their call letters and
music at all times.
If all the broadcasting stations
would adopt this plan, both the lis
tenersin and the broadcasters that
are now cramped for time would
benefit. Such a policy probably would
eliminate the necessity for drastic
legislation which now is contemplated

WILL RADIO PRIZE DRAMA.
WGY Players to Be First to Broad
cast Winning Play.

The most studied presentation ever
accorded a radio play will be given to
the drama, written especially for
broadcasting, that wins the prize Of
fered by stations WGBS, New York;
WGY, Schenectady, and WIP, Phila-
delphia.
The name of the author of the prize
winning drama viii be announced this
week and plans will be made imme-
diately for the production in the early
part of the Fall. The play in all
probability will be acted by the WGY
players from Schenectady first and
later at the two other stations.

BUILDING OWN SET.
Directions Given to Help Follow
Me oazica Plans

If you decide to builG a set from
a magazine description it is a, good
plan to cut piece of heavy paper to
the exact size called for in the panel
drawing and then to lay out the cen
ters of the holes used for mounting
the instruments.
Then fasten the paper onto the face
of the panel with clamps and use a
center punch and a hammer 10 prick
the centers through the paper onto
the panel. You viii have the holes
neatly centered and spaced exactly
right when you drill the holes and
the instruments will fit correctly.

Radio Barred From Hospital.

DIR. Isham G.. Harris, superintendent
of the Brooklyn State Hospital for
the Insane. said recently that because
of the irritating effect that static has
on mental cases, the radio has been

sane. Despite this belief, a number
of medical psychologists here and
abroad recommend radio receiving in

SIX STATIONS LICENSED.
Two Glass B and Four Glass A
Broadcasters Authorized.

The one-hundred and second and
the one-hundred and third Class B
broadcasting stations We're officially
welcomed by the Department of Com
merce this week.
They were .WCEE, the twin station
to WTAS, at Elgin. H.. and KFAB.
at Lincoln, Nebr. WCEE, after sew
eral changes in its power, it's class
and its wave length, is now licensed
to operate with 1000 watts on the
275 meter wave band. KFAB is au5
thorized TO use 500~watts and to EN-
ploy the 3407 meter wave length
In addition to these two stations
licenses We're granted TO four Class A
plants as follows: KQP, Hood River
Greg, 270 meters, 100 watts: KFCC
the first Congregational Church.
Helena, Mont, 248 meters, 10 watts,
KOHL, Council Bluffs, Ia, 27S meters.

Radio Exports Increase.

Exports of radio apparatus from
the States during May. amounting to
S667.710, showed an increase of near
ly 130 per cent over the radio exports
in May, 1924, which totaled only
!. s295,677.
During the past five months total
exports were valued at $3,397, ,S37,
against s1,518,326 in the same period
last year, indicating a gain of 123
per cent.
At the average monthly value of
radio exports thus far in 1925, the
annual total will aggregate over S.
900 900, breaking last years record.

Increases Broadcasting Power.

The Department of Commerce au-
thorized two broadcasters to increase
their power during the past week:

went from 1000 to 5000 watts, and
the WOAI, Southern Equipment Com
pany, increased its power from 1000
to 900 watts

advanced sets, the variable plate con-
denser is added, usually to help the
radio fan make the fine adjustments
When you use a crystal set for
local and powerful station you can
| dispense with the inductance, because
the latter controls the wave-length
range of the set. If there is just one
series of powerful waves being picked
up by the aerial ground circuit, the
detector will handle 1t alone, but where
there are several stations of fairly
equal strength you must make some
provision for tuning to the respective
wave lengths if you want anything
approximating seiectivity. The more
inductance you have the greater the
wave length range of the set, and the
| more provisions you make for vary
ing the inductance-thel length of the
coiled wiring-the more selective the
set will be.
You've seen young Smiths tuning
coil, with it's switch that helps him tap
the coil at various points. Well, that
is his crude but fairly successful way
of varying the inductance. Now, with
a more advanced unit, like the variom-
eter, the job is simpler and the re-
suits are better. In a variometer the
coils are connected in series, one ro-
tating within the other. When you
turn the movable coil so that the
windings of both are parallel you have
the greatest amount of inductance.
and the set will tune to-the longest
wave length for which the instrument
was designed. When you turn the
inner coil at the sharpest angle to the
other, the coils buck each other and
| inductance is at a low point. That
represents the lowest wave length of
! the set
