BANDS ARE CROWDED


ZURICH Switzerland The band
OF radio broadcaating waves is APP:
parently nearly crowded in Europe
as in the United States. and the
Zurich station is having hard time
finding a frequency that win not
conflict with other transmitters.
At first it used wave SIS meters
long, but Vienna, at sac, complained
Of interference. Next sos meters
was tried, but this conficted with
Berlin.
The most recent attempt is on d
65o-meter wave. but it is learned
that Vienna, crowded by Milan, is
considering going over into the six
hundreds, which may mean that
Zurich again will have to change.

Value of a Wave Trap

A wave trap is a cell shunted by
a condenser inserted in series with
the antenna lead-in or ground wire
of the receiving set to eliminate in
terfercnce. BY tuning the wave trap
to the wave-length OF an interfering
station, the undesired signals can
generally be eliminated. The wave
trap offers high impedance to the
wave of the undesired station and al
the same time offers normal imped-
ance to the station the operator
wishes to hear. A good wave trap
for use on the wave-lengths used
for broadcasting can be made by u.s.
ing a honeycomb coil No. rs and a
twenty-three-plate variable con
denser with vernier central. If in
reference is caused by station
using higher wave-length than en-
ployed by broadcasting station, a
larger honeycomb coil should be sub
stituted.

probably give that country the
most progressive radio develop

"Broadcasting of publicity
matter in Spain, which is per-
nitted by law, has made it pos
sible fer a universal broadcast
ing company, formed of all the
various interests in the country,
to make contracts which put
broadcasting upon commercia.
basis. There are two stations,
one in Madrid and one in BARGE
Iona, with one to be installed at
San Sebastian.
Switzerland has no organized
broadcasting service although
there is a 500-watt outfit at
Zurich and another station is ex-
pected to be installed ut Basel.
In the Baltic States there is no
regular broadcasting, but steps
have been taken in Esthonia and
I4atvia looking toward establish
ment OF radio.
Several stations are planned
for Austria, but at present this
country has only one 1-kiIowatt
station, operated by broad
casting company.

NT JEW YORK, Feb. 12.-Radio
I'M hroadcasting is developing
~ in Europe, despite the
governmental restrictions, is the
word brought back by E. A.
Brofos, European commercial
manager of the International
Western Electric Company,
Although installation of re-
ceiving sets is illegal throughout
the continent" he says, 1.-THE pro-
hibition is generally disregarded.
Reluctance OF nations to
modify their radio laws has b zen
due to expected interference be-
tween broadcasting stations in
the several countries. and con-
Germ lest removal OF restrictions
should cause an excessive Inn
portation of foreign-made ap-
paratus.
The usefulness of radio as
publicity for the government is
probably factor in the coming
development.
This is illustrated in the at
titude OF Czechslovakia, which
sees in radio the means OF build
ing up Prague as one of the
outstanding musical and cultural

If the battery terminals are i'm
marked and the wires from them
become mixed, an easy way to tell
which is negative and which is
positive is to test them in salt
water. Add some table salt to
tumbler of water, and with the
wires connected to the batterH
place the open ends in the solu-
ton. The terminal around which
bubbles arise is the negative end.
