No. 6-Tuning In.

His radio set proving to be
pleasure to the whole family, con-
slant source of contact with the out
side world with its concerts. It's
banquets. It's addresses and Its sport
ing events. Smith set aside Saturday
evening with the idea OF inviting in
some friends who hadn't as yet got
the fever. He couldn't have done
anything better to reveal his week
old knowledge of radio.
When the friends went home they
could look back over the evening ana
recall only succession of broken
melodies and sduawks. They were
raa ssured that radio was meaning
less, and they never once considered
the possibility of Smiths being the
whole trouble.
It's all in the operating, he came to
know, just as in ge 9ting results from
an automobile. His idea in. enter
tanning his friends was to arrive at
the product from the loud speaker as
quickly as possible, and in rushing
at the job he had endeavored to skip
over the essentials.
You can't get the stations you
want if you are in a hurry l told
him. Patience is the most important
requisite in operating a radio set,
just as safety Is the chief point In
driving your car I have been able
to switch into distant stations that
you wouldn't dream were on the air
just through painstaking tuning.
| Each type of set requires different
methods of tuning, OF course. But
there are a few general rules to
follow"
See II I've got them straight" he
interrupted First you.tu up your
rheostats that control the amount of
| current into the tubes until there is
sort of frying sound in the loud
speaker. Next you place the dials
at about the points where you pre-
viously received the station you are
| trying to get. Then, having found it
and tuned as closely as possible. you
| go back to your rheostats and try
to get the best results with the least
amount of current"
Fine" complimented him.
You're learning. But let me give
you a few tips. Your set Is not
! equipped with a 'vernier control-one
| of those small dials that provides for
| finer adjustment than you can get
with the big ones. Thus, IL you want
| the best results in your tuning you
should not grasp the knob itself after
getting near the ideal wave length
position. Just stroke the dial gently
with one or two fingers until you
] have moved it ever SO slightly.
Remember, too. that you don I
tune with the filament controls, the
! rheostats. 1t is true that after you
| have your tuning right turning up
| the rheostats usually increases the

Nurmi defeated JOie Ray in
New York with the greatest ease.
Chicago, Rays home, didn't ac-
cept that so very well and planned
to have Ray turn the tables on
the Flying Finn.
So wide was the demand for
tickets that the officials were
compelled to build ten-lap track
instead of a twelve-lap track.
Nurmi. now running indoors for
the first time, didn't like that.
Neither did he like the dangerously
steep banks he found in the Chi
cago Coliseum.
To make matters worse, as he
took a preliminary warming-up,
he discovered the track STUDDED
i WITH PROTRUDING NAILS.
Returning to. his dressing rooms,
Nurmi informed the officials that
he would not appear unless the
nails were hammered down out of
sight and lodged his complaint
against the small track and the
high banks.
Now, enter Mr.. PRIZE BOOB!
According to James Braden, of
the Chicago Daily News, Fred
Steers, president of the cenral
division of the Amateur Athletic
Union, announced that "Nurlni
would have to run his race on this
track or be cast out of athletics
the whole world over"
Reminded by somebody that
"the public might not support
him." he came right back with
Commodore Vanderbilt's famous
remark, "The public be damned
That just about places Mr.. Fred
Steers. Why worry more about
him?
Eventually the nails were ham
mered down in the shaky boarc
track. Nurmi took his place al
the starting mark and waited un
} til Joie Ray was lauded to the
skies and presented with bouquets
Then he ran Rays legs off.
Who is this Fred Steers? VIVA

get off with all this shootin'?
