WALL STREET LIST
IS WEAK At CLOSE
Motors and lnduStriaIS Lose
From 7 to ID Points During
Sharp Break.
BY STUART 2. WEST.
SPECIAL Dispatch TO The star.

Special Dispatch 10 The star.
NEW YORK. November 1S.-The
stock market was very weak again
today. the losses in the motor shares
and hiCh-priced industrials elsewhere
amounting in some instances to {. )
and up TO Il points. There was only
slight recovery at the close. Trading
reached another enormous volume. In
creased bank rates, present and pros
pectiVe, were much discussed. But
mainly the market was undoins last
months rank speculation.
Motors Break Badly.
Hudson Motor rallied at the start.
then broke badly, well below par
against its recent high of 1884,. Jor-
dan Motors was selling 90 points from
its top. There were violent declines
in Du Pont, Fisher Body and Chrys-
Ter. White Motors at IS compared with
its top figure of 104l2 and represent
ed complete loss of all the Summer
advance besides. Studebaker was
down a good deal more than half of
its entire rise during the bull cam
paign.
High priced induStrialS outside the
motors suffered severely. Around 1870
United States Steel was off practically
all its recent gain. American Can.
General Electric, Sears RoebuCk,
United States Cast Iron Pipe. Com
mercial Solvents. Allied Chemical,
Baldwin and American Locomotive all
broke heavily.
Rails Also Come Down.
The announcement of the so per cent
stock dividend on Mack Trucks proved
TO have been we'll discounted. The
stock had a series of ups and downs
following the news. but finally the
selling side got the upper hand. 1t
was, however. the customary selling
on good news and not an expression
of disappointment over the action of
the directors.
Railway shares came down with the
rest. New York Central fell below 127,
after having sold around 13l as re-
Gently as Saturday. Chesapeake and
Ohio. which was the strong feature
Tuesday. came off rapidly and so did
+. and O., Chicago and Northwestern
and other recent favorites in the rail
way group.
Some Startling Drops.
AT the low prices reached as a rule
midway through the afternoon the
losses from the high points in the
trading of a fortnight ago We're
extraordinary. Du Pont, for instance,
was off some so points: ChrySler, So
Hudson Motors, IL; Mack Trucks and
White Motors. -: Fisher Body. 30:
General Motors. %; Jordan Motor, 2l;
United States Steel, II: Studebaler
IA: American Car, nearly 20; United
States Industrial Alcohol. II; United
States Cast Iron Pipe. So. and United
States Rubber and Baldwin Locomo-
tive, 10 points apiece.
This meant that in little more than
a week Wall Streets bull market" of
September and October had gone COM
pletely to sma sh and that the wild
predictions of still higher prices made
at the top of the boom simply had the
effect of encoura ging the public to
stay in until it had very serious losses.

RADIO LISTENERS
BAND TO CLEAR AIR
indianapolis Organization Seeks
to Extend Work to All
Parts of Nation.

A serious attempt to organize the
:adio listeners of the country into
national association for the elimina-
lion of interference Is under way in
indiana.
Secretary of Commerce Hoover gave
the purpose of such an organizati ton
complete support at the recent radio
conference. and the department has
received notice that the hitherto
purely nominal National Broadca sters
League will now endeavor to develop
m interconnected system Of local
listeners orga nizations throughout the
United States.
The National League is an out
rrowth of the Broadca sters' Associa
ion of Indianapolis, which, although
srga nized less than year ago, had
1920 officially enrolled members early
n November.
The primary policy of the In
Annapolis organization, as well S of
Rhe national body, is to locate local
interference, as reported by members,
and to remedy the trouble, in co-opera-
lion with the district radio super
7isorS appointed by the Department of
Commerce. SO far. the Indianapolis
association has reported the checking
,f more than a thousand cases of in
reference and the removal of the
sourCes. These included leaks in
grounded high tension wires, street
gar rail connection. garage rectifers,
violet ray machines and faulty guy
wires. In this work. public utility cor
2orations freely co.operated.
Numerous listeners clubs exist in
many cities, and 1t is hoped these may
al be brought together. SO far the
indianapolis Club and an organization
IN Chicago have been able to run
themselves with little financial out
ay, paying only the committee which
works daily on reports submitted by
members,

be given to the process of tuning the

Gives Correct Adjustment.
One manufactures OF volunteers
has already put out a voltmeter panel
which Is an exact reproduction OF the
battery compartment door of a we'll
known superheterodyne This volt
meter can be connected into the cir
cult very easily and serves to give
definite check on the tube adjust
ment.
The use of a voltmeter Is especially
important on multitude sets because
one bad tube can endanger the lives
of the others by making 1t necessary
TO turn up the tube filament current
through the other tubes to take care
OF its reduced efficiency with the
proper current flow.

times that of a tube under flament
current control
Another very important advantage
or the voltmeter control over the
ammeter or current control lies in
The TACT that a Yoltmeter Is con-
nected across the terminals of the
hlament so that 1t Is not necessary
to break the circuit, as is necessary
with an ammeter. This makes it
possible by suitable simple switching
means to use one voltmeter for check
ing up on several tubes in a set.
whereas In using an ammeter a sep
arate instrument must be used for
each tube unless elaborate switching
means are employed.
If no voltmeter is provided in the
circuit, adjustment of the tubes must
be guessed at by listening to results.
AS / mentioned before, this IS not a
satisfactory means because il is pos
sible to get slightly better results by
forcing the tubes, thus getting an in
creased signal at the expense Of tube
life. BY using a voltmeter the tubes
can be adjusted to their best points

giving the tubes Just what they need

r he filaments of tubes, for instance.
of the wv 199 or G 299 type consume
0.06 amperes when a voltage Of 3
volts is applied to the filament ter
minals of the tubes.
AS the tube is used. however, the
characteristics of the filament under
go change and If the current
through it is kept at the same value
the filament will disintegrate more
rapidly than If the voltage across
it's terminals is kept at constant
value. The life of the tube can
be prolonged by the use of fila
ment voltage control instead of fila
ment current control Tube manu-
facturers and other authorities on the
subject claim that the life of a tube
under filament voltage control is three
