always get the same combina ton if it
should ever be necessary to take the
tubes out. This is very important in
getting good results. Every tube should
be tried in the oscillator and detector
positions TO determine the best tubes
for those purposes.
Most economical operation is OBJ
tanned by using a 4-volt storage bat
terry as the A battery, with a charger
TO keep 1t up to strength. If YOU do
not care to use a storage battery, yoV
may connect six volt dry cells in
series parallel. This is done by con.
Meeting two sets of three cells each
in series and then connecting the two
sets of three each in parallel to form
Il volt unit.
To operate the set. turn on the bat.
terry current with the battery switch
and turn the rheostats about ,. on.
Set the midget condenser at its mini.
mum capacity. Then begin tuning
with the two variable condensers.
changing the settings little at a
time until you get a station.
How TO Sharpen Up Tuning.
To sharpen up the tuning for cut
ting through local stations. gradually
increase the capacity of the midget
condenser. but not to a point great
enough TO throw the detector into os.
cillation.
If the detector goes into oscillation.
adjustment of the oscillator condenser
l Will have little effect on the tuning.
Rheostat 3 should be turned on as
Tar as possible, increasing the cur.
rent through the tubes. without caus-
ing loss of clearness of tone.
Rheostat 4 should be turned down
as low as possible, decreasing current
through the tubes as much as pos
sible consistent with good reception.
Loop Explained.
Remember that in using and log
ging the set it is just as important
to take the directional characteristics
of the loop into consideration as it
Is to take care of the adjustment of
the condensers. In tuning for a par
t1cular station the loop should be
turned in the direction of the station
so that the station is in the plane of
the loop.
The superheterodyne is the sim.
plest OF all receivers to tune An eve
ming spent in practicing with the con
trols Will give you all the experience
you will ever need in acquiring the
knack OF bringing in distant stations.

RUSSIANS, ENTHUSIASTIC,
SEEK RADIO EQUIPMENT
Craze Spreads From Cities to
Rural Sections and Supply Falls
Far Below Demand.

The radio craze has gripped the
cities of Russia and is beginning to
spread TO the rural districts, accord
ing to reports from Moscow received
by the Russian Information Bureau
IN Washington. The demand for re-
celving sets far surpasses the supply
Six thousand workingmen's clubs and
l2,O0O provincial reading rooms are
being equipped with loud speakers.
The principal types of broadcasting
are the radio newspapers and the
radio concert.
The radio newspapers are broadcast
In two editions, the afternoon edition,
at 1925 o'clock, and the evening edi.
! ton, at 1855 O'Clock. The first edition
Is timed to coincide with the midday
stoppage at factories and mills, and
the workers gather about the loud
speakers at public eating places to get
the news of the day. The evening
edition contains all the departments Of
printed newspapers, including news,
special articles, short stories and lit
erary, musical, dra matic and moving
picture reviews.
In the near future a children's radio
newspaper will be broadcast. and
the leading pedagogical experts in the
Soviet union will be asked to partici-
pate.
The radio concerts include cycle
concerts by eminent composers with
eXpla natory lectures. More attention
is devoted to classical works than to
jazz.
Lectures on scientific and technical
subjects are sent, and special atten-
ton is given to agricultural instruc-
ton for the peasants.
The commissariat of post and tele-
graphs, which has about SO radio
transmitting stations, is developing
the educational features of the radio
programs. An All-Russian Congress
of Radio Fans will be held in the near
future.

JAZZ DEVOTEES SCORE
IN RADIO REFERENDUM

The battle of jazz versus classics
still ra ges, with the cohorts drawn up
and both sides Boosting ardent sup
porters WTAM, one of the out
standing broadcasters of the country,
| recently replied to an alleged Clever
| barrage of publicity launched from
the classic" trenches with a counter
attack of figures and percentages
taken from a careful study of the
stations mail.
Now the non combata want to
know which side is in the right. 1t
has been suggested that the pre-
ponderance of mail in favor of jazz
reported by WTAM is due to the fact
| that the admirers of the classics do
not write their appreciation.
| If that is true, and WTAM admits
| it probably is, the classic" army will
be the losers in the warfare. If the
| lovers of the old composers who
wrote real melodies and music of
merit want representation on the
board of program directors of radio
stations they will have to send in
| their dispositions.
The one place in the world where
the public can get what it wants for
nothing is the broadcasting station.
| But program directors base their
program arrangement on the evil
dence at hand, and if the preponder-
ance OF evidence says "jazz," the pro-
gram will be jazz.

How to Build a De Luxe 8-Tube Super
Heterodyne Receiver for SIS. Part V.
How to Operate the Set.


If you will read the article carefully
and study the bottom view of the re
ceiver shown in subpanel layout, Fig.
4, you will have no difficulty in max
ing the proper loop and battery con-
nections to the receiver
The tap on the loop should be taken
at the z point so that it divides the
loop into two sections, one section
having three times the number of
turns in the other section.
The tap should be connected with
terminal 80. The end of the large
section should be connected with bind.
ing post 33 while the end of the
small section should be connected
with binding post 81.
If you cannot tell how the loop is
tapped try it first one way and then
the other and leave the loop con.
nected in the way that requires
greater capacity in the midget con-
denser to give oscillation.
If spiral loop is used the tap
should be taken at the 3. point from
the outside turn.
Connect Batteries.
The battery terminals are marked
plainly on the subpanel layout of Fig
4 Terminal 81 is connected with the
ItcSdliNc Noit tctilllIldI ana Ter
minal IS with the negative S-volt ter
minal of the c battery.
Terminal 40 should be connected
with the positive 45-volt terminal of
the B battery and terminal Al should
be connected with the positive 90
volt terminal of the 3 battery.
A five-wire battery cord can be
used for the A and B battery con.
nections. The small c battery can
be placed just back of the set and
connected with the terminals by short
lengths of insulated wire.
Have Tubes Tested
Care must be taken that tubes capa-
Bile of oscillating be used for the oscil-
lator tube IS and for the detector
tubes 20 and "a. 1t is best to have
the dealer test your tubes to see that
none are defective. A standard tube
tester should be used for the purpose
You can later determine which are
best in the various positions by num-
bering them and then switching them
around from socket to socket until
you get the best results and then not.

Adventures of a BrOadcaster
Radio Lets the Light In on the Blind.
By FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE,
Radioscribe,

One day this week l was sitting
in the office of David Sarnoff, vice
president and general manager of the
Radio Corporation of America, in the
dizzy heights of the Woolworth tower
on lower Broadway. Sarnoff is one
of the wonders of the air world. His
career reads like an Oliver Optic story
of what a poor boy in New York,
given natural ability and oppor-
tunity, can achieve. Sarnoff and l
were discussing the remarkable eff
feet Of the spoken word on the public
ear. "Tolstoi," he said, dealt with
that a long time ago. In one of
his books he remarks: There is more
soul In sound than there is in a
thought
That picturesque observation lent

haitian, which has escaped general
attention hereabouts. That is the use
to which radio was put by Gov. "Al''
Smith of New York in his recent
triumph bout with the hostile Re.
publican Legislature of that State
The Legislature attempted to balk
Smith on certain jor policies. Ii
had the votes. but he felt sure he
had the people. So to reach the
people and overcome the votes the
governor took the air. For several
nights, at strategic moments. he
broadcast his views. He told of the
opposition he confronted He asked
the people to help him break it down.
They did SO. The Legislature yielded
Smith-plus radio-won out.
