be given as much outdoor air as is
possible and, in later childhood,
should be encouraged to engage in
all sorts OF healthy exercises and re-
creations. Its disposition will be

be universally popular. The strength

If today is your birthday, you
should cultivate application, dili-
gence and perseverance, as you are
too prone to tire of an undertaking
before it Is completed, and the re-
suits are not good. You like to form
new friendships and make new ao-
quaintances. Your personality is
strong enough to make your friend
ships and love constant, true and en-
nobling.
With your inherent abilities, with
your quickness to learn, with your
forceful personality, you should have
achieved much, and your measure OF
success should have been great. You,
however. not only lack perseverance,
but are not persistent, and soon grow
weary of well-doing. If immediate
success does not await you, you
abandon the task all too soon and
embark on a new one. You would
never hesitate to swap horses cross
ing a stream, as the novelty of a new
mount would appeal to you.
Nothing worth while has ever been
achieved in this world by sudden and
kaleidoscope changes of endeavor.
All success has been won by plodding
perseverance.

That means that you must not use

GIVEN $500 PRIZE
ON QUERY IN RADIO
H. D. Kellogg, Jr., Answers
Question, ''Who Is to Pay
for Broadcasting?"

Fl. d. Kellogg, jr., OF Haverford, Pa,
has been awarded the $500 prize
offered by the American Radio As
ISOLATION for the most practical an
swer to the question, who is to pay
for broadcasting?"
The winning plan calls for the
public TO pay for broadcasting by
means of tax on each vacuum tube
and crystal bought by the consumer
for his radio set. 1t is pointed out
that radio broadcasting, to be placed
on q sound economic basis, must pay
It's way as do other forms of enter
tainment: that to secure the best
that radio can offer calls for broad
casting to be put on a paid, contract
basis. 1t was further pointed out
that tubes have a life commensurate
with the service they render, which
makes them an index OF 'broadcasting
consumption Furthermore, the num-
ber of tubes was considered TO be an
excellent index Of the cost of the set
and the range over which IL will re-
ceive. and that since the manufacture
Of tubes is so nearly a monopoly
consistent check-up of tho tubes pur-
chased could be had. IT is suggested
that the tax money collected be de-
posted with the Government and that
a newly created Bureau Of Broad
casting administer the fund. Stamps
purchased by tube manufacture
from the Bureau of Broadcasting
would be affixed by the manufacturer
TO the tubes, the amount of tax to be
paid 10 be determined from statis-
tics compiled by this bureau"
Mr.. Kellogg's plan is replete with
Illustrations which point to the prac-
ticability of 1t, and while embodying
considerable thought. and deserving
of the $500 prize, nevertheless did
not receive the Endorsement of the
American Radio Association, the Of
fcers of which feel that any plan
sponsored by the association should
be arrived at in conference with the
various groups involved in radio

than can be obtained from a single
wire of large cross-sectton.
This does not mean that ordinary
bare wire twisted together will give
the desired result The wires used
in such a cable must be perfectly in
sulated from each other except at
the terminals. 1t is just as impor-
tant to be sure that every wire of
the cable is Joined together at the
terminals as it is to be sure that
each wire is well insulated from
each other wire throughout the
length of the cable.
Litzendrant wire, which is merely
cable of fine wires perfectly insu-
lated from each other, is the type of
wire which makes best use of weight
of wire in a conductor.
A cross-section of that type of wire
is shown in the diagram.
This, however, must not be con-
fused with the ordinary stranded wire
sold for use as aerial wire. The
stranded aerial wire is very little
more efficient than ordinary solid
wire as far as efficiency in carrying
radio currents is concerned, because
the strands are not insulated fom
each other. In the diagram each
wire shown in oss-section Is per-
fectly insulated from all the others
by an enamel insulation. Such cable
can also be made with other forms
of insulation besides enamel.

OF the pipe until the full force of the
water current is established to the
extent that water flows into the pipe
faster than it flows out Of II at the
other end.
Within the limitations of the wa
ter analogy in explaining electrical
phenomenon that is what takes place
in an electrical conductor, except that
instead of flowing along the bottom
of the conductor, the current flows

In toward the center.
Effect MomentariIy.
In direct current circuits the effect
takes place momentarily at the be-
ginning of the flow of current and
very quickly the current is estab-
lished throughout the whole con-
ductor. In the case of alternating
currents, however. the effect is re-
peated at every alienation of the
current flow. and II the reversals of
current are frequent enough the cur
rent is not allowed to establish it
self throughout the conductor before
the reversal takes place.
In cor.mercial alternating current
practice at low frequency the effect
is not very noticeable, but when you
get into the high frequencies used in
radio work the effect is very pro-
nounced and skin effect must be TAX
en- into consideration in the design OF
radio circuits.
In such cases a tube OF conducting
metal will give practically as good
results as solid conductor. Weight

a large number of small wires than
there is in one large wire, so that
greater efficiency can be obtained by
