RADIO SHOW FREE
No Admission Charge for
Pupils Under is at Matt

School children up to the age of 16
years will be admitted free today to
the matinee of the second annual radio
show at the Washington Auditorium.
Special attendants will explain to the
children the various features Of the
historical and educational exhibit on
the second floor Of the Auditorium.
The fashion revue. under the dtrec-
ton of Marie Lenore Moran, continues
to be one of the most popular attrac-
tions of the show. Dainty Pemberton

Arguments for ana Against.

The proper selection Of radio
eoubment depends on a careful con-
sideration of the arguments for and
against a certain product or practice
and the selection of the side which
has the highest ratio when the ad-
vantages are divided by the disad-
vantageS.
There is no questioning the greater
volume, greater distance and ease Of
tuning which Is possible when long
aerial is used. But when the receiver
installation is located in a congested
section with powerful broadcasting
stations located within several miles
of the receiver, the advantages OF
greater volume, sensitivity and ease
Of tuning are more than offset by the
disadvantage Of lack Of selectivity or
difficulty in separating even local
stations.
From the standpoint Of selectivity,
there is no type Of aerial that can
compare with q loop aerial when
used with a very sensitive or power
full receiver having several stages of
tuned radio frequency amplification
or one of the superheterodyne type.
There is little use, however, of using
q loop aerial with a set that Is not
sensitive enough to operate on the
small amount of energy picked up by
q loop aerial.
Use Insulated Wire.
If you are confronted with the
problem Of getting greater selectivity
with a set that Is not designed for
operation on a loop, your best bet Is
to run an insulated wire through sew
eral rooms Of your house to form an
inside aerial that will give you very
good results without the lack of sen.
sitivity that you experience when us
ing an outside aerial.
In your quest for simplification. do
not forget that to a great extent the
efficiency Of a receiver is governed
by the degree to which the various
elements can be adjusted to their best
operating points. Many experiment.
ers are turning to the amperite type
Of self-adjusting resistance for con-
trolling the filament temperature in
place Of the use Of rheostats. While

Fans who have experienced the deli.

quency stages of a receiver know the
value Of a control feature on the
radio frequency and detector tubes.
While the actual adjustment Of volt
age in the amplifier stages does not
produce a noticeable change in the
operation Of the receiver, the best re-
suits as far as the life Of the tubes
Is concerned are obtained when the
filament voltage is adjusted to the
point specified by the tube manufac-
turer.
In considering the substitution of
resistance-coupled audia frequency
amplification for transformer-coupled
audio frequency amplif1cation, don't
lose sight Of the fact that two stages
of resistance-coupleda amplif1cation will
not give you as much volume as a
similar number Of transformer coupled
stages. II you want the same amount
of volume you will have to use a
greater number Of tubes.
Low.losses in coils are of little
value, II you must introduce resist
ance in the circuit to reduce the tend.
ency Of the circuit to oscillate. Un-
less you use some form of neutrali-
zation, you are not taking full advan-
tage Of the possibilities in your low.
loss coils.
There is little advantage to be
gained in using q low-loss variable
condenser when you shunt a mica
or paper fixed condenser across it to
increase it's capacity. If you must,
have increased capacity. use higher
capacity variable condenser, not a
high-loss fixed condenser.

further that those in a position to

SELLING HIT s
STOCK MART
EARLY
BuIIish Operations Are Put
Under Way, However, in
Same Issues
BY international News Service

NEW YORK, Oct. THE stock
market was slightly unsettlea in
early trading today by insistent
selling Of the railroad stocks and
high-priced industrials, most of
which were offered at lower price
ranges at the opening. But bullish
operations were resumed without
much delay in the motor and ac-
cessory stocks, with Dodge. WHY'S
Overland, common and preferred;
Mack Trucks, Thinker Roller Bear
ing and United States Rubber lead
ing the procession. Heavy buying
Of WHY'S preferred sent the stock
up 4 points to q new high at 1874
in the first period. Ward Baking
and United States Realty continued
to advance.
The extremely irregular tone of
the market, as evidenced by the
steady decline In some stocks while
others were, bounding along to
higher price levels, is believed to
be the result OF professional selling
of stock and heavy profit-taking
in stocks bought at lower prices.
The extended short interest in some
stocks has been Of great assistance
to the professionals, while the plain
evidences Of a gradual Tightening OF
the money market has quickened
the process In the last few weeks.
Call money opened today at 51a
per cent, but with an abundant
supply at that rate.
Trading was quiet and orderly
In this period, with a conspicuous
lack OF the violent movements or
speculative stocks, under pool
guidance which has been seen since
the. middle of last week. May De-
paftment Stores and Coca Cola
continued to sell at the best prices
Of the movement, the former 0d-
vancing to a new high for the
year at 1924. Railroad stocks were
freely offered, and prices were frac-
tionally lower for most active rats.
Market Street Railway stocks de-
clined on reports that the COM
fnittee OF San Francisco business
men had condemned the proposed
purchase OF the property Of the

BANK CALL HELD
NO INDICATION
Of SLUMP
Coming a Few Days Earlier or
Later Deposits Would Have
Been Much Greater
By RICHARD HATTON

No significance Is attached to the
lowering OF deposits In some OF the
Washington banks as indicated by
reports resulting from tho recent
bank call issued by the Treasury.
Local bankers state that whatever
losses in deposits are reported in no
way indicate a loss in business,
either in the banks or in the COM
mercial life Of the city generally.
Fluctuations in bank deposits are
to be expected, according to local
financiers. especially after period
wherein deposits have been above
normal as has been the case here.
In one Instance a few days either
way in the date OF the Treasury de-
mand for a statement would have
made q difference in the amount re-
ported Of over 81 900 ,000.c From this
1t Is possible to predict that had
the call been for q date few DAYS
earlier or a few days later the en-.
tire loss would have been covered
and the statements in the aggregate
have shown a gain over the previous
statement.
New York banks, at the present
call, showed a loss in deposits of an.
proximately 30,000, 900. Neverthe.
less, had the call this year been for
October 10 as it was in 1924, it is
possible that both the WASHINGTON
banks and the New York banks
gain.
Much OF the money withdrawn
from deposit recently has bear 81,
account Of investment OPPORTUNITIES
IN a good market. Vacation with.
orawals, also. were a factor. MANY
or the banks reporting q loss rIsae.
poslts on September 20 would have
reported gain today.
