RADIO DEAD SPOTS

If your radio outfit doesn't work right, don't
blame hastily your receiving set your amateur
ish installation. You may simply be in a dead spot.
Such spots seem to be scattered around more
pentifully than anybody has imagined. Remarkable
discoveries made recently by a Cleveland radio
editor driving around the town and its suburbs IN
radio equipped automobile.
The investigator found that over and again,
as he moved along radio would fade from full
volume whisper with so foot change in location,
not only among buildings but in open spaces with no
interference IN sight reception not impaired by
the motion of the car, but strong signals from local
broadcasng stations faded without any apparent
in scores of places.
Some Of the dead spots were big, covering miles of
area. Others were incredibly small. Sometimes there
obvious explanation in the presence of steel
building or bridge; at other times there mag
Unable explanation.
If it is true in city, it is probably true in other
cities Similar surveys might be made profitably in
any community.
The experimenter in this case draws the obvious
moral that receiving set will not give the
suits in any two locations He gives this practical sug
gestion
IF you have an aerial which has given good
results, move to another location if possible even
though only few yards away. That may get you
away from dead spot"
There may be where merely moving loop
set to another in the house will give better

A fine example of community effort
that gets results Is found In the work
Of improving the streets that is being

ceded by a group of citizens who, CO
operating with Mayor Leonard, were

Joined the Exchange club with their
contributions and now the depot street
has been completed and good progress
Is being made on College street. There
is enough money pledged, it is said, to
ebert every street in town. There are
other things to be done in Columbiana
and there are similar things to be
done in every other community In the
county. Let our people organize them
selves and take hold for still greater

Such an investment requires mana

not needed in the old days.
Aside from an increase In capital
zation, there has been an increase In
the operating expenses. The sheep
have been crowded out of the land
which formerly afforded range, and
now they must be fed hay during the
winter. Labor charges have advanced,
due to advances in the wage scale
and also because the focks have de-
