Due to variety OF causes with
which We are all familiar, banking
In the United States has grown up
In fashion quite unique. There
has never been the same closely
knit understanding and solidarity
among banking institutions in this
country that have been developed
IN most European countries. It Is
not necessary for us to consider
whether this has been a desirable
or an undesirable development; at
least 1t is a fact. The number of
banks in the United States Is al.
most beyond the belief of European
unanciers; and the vastly greater
number Of our banks are purely
local institutions with only rather
vague associations with the greater
centers and forces of finance. This
condition has of course been yervl
much modified since the establish
ment OF the Federal reserve system.

that quite striking1y differentiates
the methods OF American banking
from banking in the "Old World"

Although PTS meters is not recog

Batavia station expressed its willing
ness to remain on that band provided

that the increased power on the A

cessfully worked with a short-wave
radio set in a Navy plane In flight
during a recent test held at the Naval
Air Station. Anacostia. ID. G. Sig
nails from the plane, a Navy DH-4B
type, were heard in st. Paul, Mimi,
and Tampa, Fla, but were not heard
at stations much nearer. The plane
was in communication with the Naval
Radio Research Laboratory at Belle
vue, d. c., on a 20-meter wave length
up to a distance of so miles, at which
point signals from the plane were no
longer heard later reports telling of
the reception with good audibility OF
the signals in st. Paul and Tampa
This appears to be a peculiarity OF
transmitting sets using very short
wave lengths.
Experiments with this type of radio
equipment by the Navy during the
past year have shown that signals
on wave lengths below 40 meters have
what is known as a ."jump-over" eff
fect-that is, they travel only mod
crate distances, then disappear for
distance varying from 800 to zoe
miles, reappearing at distant points
The lightweight transmitter in the
plane used only two receiving tubes
and the reception of signals from the
set 1000 miles away is believed to be
record for heavier than aircraft
radio equipment.
Receiving in the plane while in
fight, using the 20-meter wave length
was possible only up to 40 miles, due
to the excessive interference eX.
perienced from the ignition system OF
the engine. This is due to the fact
that each of the "a spark plugs of

plane is powered acted as transmit.

of the radio set go meters). Like
most spark stations, these signals
are very broad and difficult to tune
out. Attempts are now being made
to overcome this difficulty.
This development of h-frequency,
short-wave radio equipment for use in
aircraft in flight. is based largely on
experiments that have been carried
on for the past few months at the
Naval Research Laboratory at Belle
vue, d. c., the Marine flying field at
Quantico, Va, and the Naval Air Sta
ton, Lakehurst, n. j. Experimental
shortwave sets at these stations, op-
Grated from the ground, have been
able to send signals heard in New
Zealand, besides being able to receive
the same distance. 1t is hoped that
the adaptation of short-waVe radio
equipment of extreme lightweight
will open up a new field for the use
of radio in aircraft.

he should buy.

which means that it will charge the
battery at the rate of two amperes
an hour This Is very satisfactory
for use with a set that does not con-
sumo at more than this rate, because
all you have to do Is run the charger
about as long as you run the set. But
when the battery Is way down like
this. you'll find II a genuine economy
and satisfaction to have II charged

With the charger definitely decided

No, you needn't fear overcharging

query. Just remember how you
often drive all day with your auto
mobile generator charging the battery
at a rate varying from eight to four
teen or more amperes. See that you
have distilled water up to within half
inch of the tops OF the plates of the
cells and then use the charger gen
erously.
Yes, it is perfectly safe to let 1t

you can switch the battery to the

No. you will have no trouble at
