SPENT IN OPERATING RADIO STATIONS
When Radio Is Blind By Roy K. Moulto"
Tried for John W. Davis
and Got Robert La
Toilette By Mistake.

Believing that another little radio
station won't do us any harm, / have
started a new one on my ranch up by
the Hudson river, which will be
known as station WRKM.
For a long time I have believed
that we need new stations. 1 have
had a large seven-mule-power receiv-
ing set for some time and it has been
no trick at all for me to get two or
three stations at one time.
1 have an simplifying and transmit
ting machine added to my radio equip
ment, and this powerful station is
now able to signal ships as far out
to sea as Staten Island, although we
have nothing to signal them about.
This all came about in the following
manner, which, I am sure, will inter-
est the fans.
A RARE OUTFIT, INDEED.
Ny receiving outfit was reporting
the Voice of Central Park and the
Bawl of the Bowery at one and the
same time. Now of course, in one
way it is all right to have. two or
three stations coming across, at the
same time as one thing may interest
one member of the family and nobody
else, so everybody can have a chance
to get their favorite dish.
l would call for a speech and my
machine would give the sextette from
Lucia.
1 was anxious to hear a speech by
John W. Davis and I found out after
ward that my machine had given me
LaFollette by mistake. My machine
was one Of those five-tube sets that
does not know it's business-always
getting tangled up with itself.
WHAT'S WRONG IN WORLD.
With my knowledge of machinery
1 should be running a one-tube set,
but that is the way it goes in this
world. A lot of one-tube guys are try
ing to run five-tube sets.
About all / could do to this ma
chine was to kick it in the Stats and
try to jar some sense into 1t, but
that didn't do a particle of good.
So / got an expert to come in by
the Shame of Fleishaeuer, his first
name being Eric, which you can spell
with a *" if you like. 1t will not
hurt my feelings in the least. Well,
Eric is the radio expert who got me
into this game in the first place.
He knows quite a lot about radio
at that, because he can stick his fin
ger in the battery and tell when it is
about empty. which 1 tried to do the
same one evening and if i have any

Official Rules on New
Idaho Tax Legislation

BOISE.-Rebates are to be made by
the bureau Of motor vehicle registra-
ton on approximately 5000 licenses,
which had been taken out before the
present law, reducing the cost, had
been passed by the legislature.
Applications are coming in from
the different counties now for refunds,
but will not be acted upon for several
days yet, because of press of work in
the Office.
When the work of refunding begins
the rebates will be made to the differ
emit counties and individual refunds
will be made by them.
It is not improbable that the new
law will be tested in the supreme
court, as the county commissioners
of Kootenai County have refused to
remit to the state the full amount of
the license under the old law for that
part Of the present year before the
new law became effective. The Koo-
tenai officials hold that theAnew law
became effective January /. Since
1921 the state has received Is per
cent of all the fees collected by coun-
ty assessors. Commissioner F. A. Je-
ter holds that this law was in effect
until the present law was approved by
Governor Moore.

THE MAGNiFYING GLASS OF RADIO

The simplifying transformer is the
microscope of radio.
The scientist looking through a mi
croscope gazes upon fascinating
world Of cell and germ life SO tiny
as to be invisible to the naked eye
The microscope magnifies them.
Likewise the simplifying transforms
er magnifies, or amplifles, faint sounds
to clear, distinct volume so that a
whole roomful Of people can hear
them on loud speaker.
But it is very important that the
simplifying transformer does not dis.
tort the sounds at the same time 1t
increases their volume. A transform.
er that distorts is like a microscope
that blurs the vision. The simplifying
transformer must not only increase
the volume, but must also give 1t ex-
actly like the original sound-pure in
tone and quality, loud and clear in
volume.
The simplifying transformer is a
very important factor in good recep.
ton. 1t is through good transformers
that application without distortion
can be secured Without a good trans
former, no set, whatever else 1t may
have, or how elaborate the case con-
tanning it, can give satisfactory re-
suits.
No part which enters into the con.
struction of a radio set requires as
high grade of skill, on the part Of
both electrical engineers and exports
in sound production. One well-known
company, nationally KNOWN as pioneer
transformer and radio engineers and
manufacturers, was the first company
to market an audio frequency amplify-
Ing transformer for amateur and OK
perimental purposes, and when 1t de-

Summer House Roofs

Aluminium paints are used to best
advantage on the under side OF the
roofs Of summer and spring houses.
Aluminium paint retards radiation and
will, therefore, keep the interior very
much cooler than it would be If I'm.
painted, or painted with an ordinary
paint. The. outside Of the roof should
be in light color so that as much
heat as possible may be reflected. Sill
yer or bronze paint should decorate
the interior, preventing the entrance
of heat absorbed through the roof, and
making the interior appreciably
lighter.

cided to bring out a radio frequency
transformer 1t spent many months of
research work in it's laboratory before
bringing out the new product. The
success of both its audio and radio
frequency transformers demonstrates
that radio must be carried on by spe-
cialists of long experience both in
electrical engineering and in sound
production.
The transformers manufactured by
this company are embedded in moist
ure-proof, non-conducting sealing COM
pound, and are subjected to the most
rigid tests for short circuited turns
and other possible defects, and SO con-
sistently has the company followed its
original policy of furnishing only per-
feet transformers that whenever one
Is found which has the slightest de-
feet 1t Is replaced without charge. The
standard of quality maintained by
such companies has probably had
more to do than any other one cause
with popularizing the use of home
made sets. BY using good transform
ers and other standard parts, which
are nowadays called for by their
brand names, any man, woman or
child, with little ingenuity can build
a set at home adapted to his own par
ticular needs and taste and get as
good results-and sometimes better
than with a set purchased ready
made.
Many writer's advocate the use Of
audio frequency transformers having
Inherent ratio in each stage of multi.
stage amplifier The best expert opin-
ion. however, is not in sympathy with
this idea and insists that the ratio OF
4.25 to is best for all stages.
Amplification is the key to radio.
