FIivver King Declares Radio

Radio is great evangelist. Thou
sands Of men and women have been
influenced by religious uplift talks
given on the air., The newest con-
vert is Henry Ford. But strange to
say. the Detroit manufacturer de-
clares that his conversion is in favor
Of dancing.
Says Ford: Radio brings excellent
dance music into the home and
am in favor OF dancing within the
home circle. At the present time
am learning all the new steps and
recalling many Of the old ones.
Waltzing to the music Of THE Blue
Danube is my favorite, but I am
experimenting with the Charleston
and all the other new and intricate
steps and / must say 1 enjoy the in

cause Of this fad for dancing in the

kIL0CYCLE new
word FOR AIR
FANS TO LEARN
Will Take Place Soon of
Wave Lengths, According
to u. S. Bureau.
BB Times Special

BB Times Special
WASHINGTON. Sept. Elm
radio the "kilocycle" is taking the
place of "wavelength," the Bureau
of Standards discloses. The making
or logging of dials is found to have
certain advantages when in newer
terms. Already one of the oldest
stations is announcing it's broad
casts on the "kilocycle" or frequency
rating.
1t is simple, for frequency waves
a seconD replaces wavelength Gn
meters). AS q musician can vary
the number of oscillations of his vo-
cal chords. but can not control the
length of the sound waves. which
vary with the medium, so a radio
station can vary the number Of
oscillations a second and let the
wave lengths be what they will.
Example Cited
A high tenor &c" gives sound
waves two feet in length, but the
standard rating is frequency, or
pitch, in this case 512 vibrations a
second Frequency is the number
Of waves produced a second, the
number of waves on the air after
one second Of transmission. "Kilo-
cycle means a Thousand cycles.
hence a broadcast on a 500-kilocycle
frequency produces 100000 radio
waves a second. To aid radio
amateurs and experts the Bureau of
Standards will issue a table so that
at glance any one may translate
from the old rating by "wavelength"
into the rating by frequency, and
vice versa. Radio waves travel with
the speed Of light, about 300 900
kilometers a second. This is the
sum of all waves emitted in one sec
ond. Dividing this by the wave
length gives the frequency. dividing
by the frequency gives the wave
length.
Rule Given
The bureau gives the simple rule
to obtain the frequency when the
wave length is known: Divide 300,-
900 by the wave length In meters.
The answer is In kilocycles. Like
wise the other way around: Divide
100000 by the number OF kilocycles
to find meters. 1t is interesting that
the ratio is the same both ways.
One hundred meters equals 1900
kilocycles; 100 kilocycles Is 5000
meters.
AS the new system proposed some
time ago by the international and
national radio conferences is taken
up by the broadcasting stations and
placed into effect by the Government
in assigning station frequencies. it
will become increasingly important
to translate from wave length to
frequency to tune.

NOISY SET MAY
BE CAUSED BY
POOR CONTACT
Distant Stations Kept Out
When Dirt Works
In.

Poor contact will make the radio
set noisy. and will keep out distant
stations The contact should be per-
feet from the far end of the aerial
right through the set to the ground.
There are two general types OF
contacts used in variometers and
condensers, as well as some OF the
other apparatus.
Friction Contact
The first and most common OF
these is the wipe. or friction, con-
tact, and the second is called the
"plgtailed" contact. The wipe con-
tact will be all right as long as the
place is kept clean and there Is no
dust or soldering flux that can work
into it. On the other hand, the
least little dirt may hold the con-
facts apart. and when the happens
the set will not only be full OF
peculiar little clicks. but it will also
be impossible for extremely weak
signas to get through at all. Some
variometers have a contact between
the shaft and brass bearing plate.
which is apt to cause trouble. and
the only cure is to solder a piece OF
wire to the end OF the shaft and
then direct to the rest of the set.
Wire Should Re Flexible
If this is done the wire should be-
stranded or flexible. and stops ar
ranged on the variometer so that Il
will not turn too far around and
break the wire.
The same thing holds for the NOV
able plates OF a variable condenser.
which frequently cause more trouble
than the variometer. They should
also have a piece of wire soldered to
them. This is called the pig-tail. be-
cause it usually has a couple OF
twists in it like the tail of a pig.

| NEWSPAPER GREATEST
SECULAR INFLUENCE

Inc greatest secular influence in a
mans life to day is the newspaper he
reads according 70 Edward McKer-
non superintendent of the eastern di-
vision of the Associated Press.
The average man may not realize
this, but it is so,' Mr.. McKernon de-
csared in a recent address.
Consciously or unconsciously. he
receives his impressions Of affairs as
he reads, and his daily talk and con-
versatlon reflect to a great extern
what he has read. It is no disparage-
ment Of anyone to say that the aver
age citizen does not know what he
thinks until he has seen his daily
paper.
Accordingly, I cannot conceive Of
anything Of greater Importance to
you than that you should determine
the integrity Of the sources from
winch you receive what puIports to be
a representation of what is going on
IN this day and generation.
The apparent indifference Of many
intelligent persons to the fidelity of
news reports is to me appalling. Ex-
cept IN emergencies, you would not
employ physician until you had
heard something of his skill. You
would not entrust your business af-
fairs to a lawyer Of whose probity
you were not sure You would not
patronize shoemaker until you were
satisfied he would not cripple you for
life
But you might better take some
chances with your body and in busi-
ness affairs than to have your mind
poisoned by misrepresentation of
things as they are.
"'rhis was never so important as
now, when we have reached the stage
Of instantaneous transmission of
news and when modern facilit es have
made possible an enormous increase
in the volume of news matter pre-
sented. Relatively few business and
professional men, occupied with their |
manifold personal responsib lilies, |
have the time thoroughly to read and
digest the facts made known and de- |
termine their accuracy, and so they |
are more and more dependent upon
the newspaper for the correct infor- |
nation that aids straight thinking"
