SAY
LONG ORDEAL
NEEDLESS
High Frequency Sending
Apparatus Would Have
Speeded Rescue.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.-If the
Pho had been equipped with a spe-
cial high frequency (short wave) trans
mitter the plane would have been able
to carry on constant communication
with the searchers and avoided nine
days of helpless floating on the Pa
cific ocean.
This is admitted by radio experts
Of the Navy Department, who are
jubilant over the rescue of the plane
which had been given up for lost.
Admittedly the hardest blow TO
Commander Rodgers and his asso-
ciates during the whole experience
was to learn by wireless that they
had been given IN for lost and that the
search would be discontinued. Real
izing the vastness of the Pacific
ocean, Rodgers and his hungry men
knew that unless they were success
full in making a landing at one Of
the small islands, starvation or ship
wreck was inevitable.
TO AVOID REPETITION.
To be able to hear yourself pro-
nounced dead without being able 70
deny it is hardly an enviable expert
ence. Experts of the Navy Depart
ment are determined that a similar
situation will never arise il possible
to prevent it.
The Pho was equipped with stand
ard navy radio equipment. The pow
or for the transmitter was furnished
by Q wind-driyen generator OF 1000
revolutions minute. which provided
800 watts When the plane was N
flight the transmitter worked perfect
~. Just as soon as the plane took
10 the ocean the power supply was
cut off, without which the transmit
ter could not be operated. The TO.
ceiving apparatus was not affected,
however, because a few storage bat
teries provided current for this pu--
pose.
The Pho was not equipped with q
fixed antenna. When in the air the
plane let down a wire which answer
ed the purpose. The plane was alsc
equipped with kites which could b,
sent aloft with a wire which would
serve as an antenra.
NEW DEVICE IN USE.
Recently the navy has invented 6
special high frequency transmittei
which can be operated on a few stor-
age batteries. Communication ovoi
several thousand miles has been ac.
complished with these transmitters
Had the PN-9 been equipped with
a high frequency transmitter, the
chances are that it would have been
located almost Immediately.

HERE ARE SOME HINTS
FOR YOUR SCRAPBOOK

Radio amplifiers build up distance
and also volume slightly.
In series condenser the wave
length is longest when the plates are
closed.
More vacuum tubes are destroyed
by burning out than from any other
cause.
The efficiency Of the entire circuit
is lowered if one Of the tubes is
dead
IL is necessary to have a test
"buzzer' for successful operation of
a crystal dctector.

LIGHT TO WIDEN FIELD.

With the dedication of the new sta
ton The Light will continue its radio
sport service over a wider field of use
fulness.
With baseball for the year prac-
tically a thing of the past The
Light will endeavor TO broadcast
other athletic events of public interest
from time TO time.
With the opening of their new sta
ton. the Southern Radio Corporation
Of Texas will become a nationally
known enterprise. The organization
was formed in 1920 as the Alamo
Radio Electric Company by J. c.
Rodriguez. president Of the present
concern. The business, in the early
days Of broadcasting. consisted chiefly
in the construction and repair of re-
ceiving sets.
As popular interest in radio grew,
Mr.. Rodriguez took in two partners,
G. r. Atchison and W. c. Egerton,
and the organization was incorporat-
ed. Later Frank Keymore was ad-
mitted to the business and is now sec
rotary Of the corporation, which is one
Of the leading electrical and radio
wholesale supply houses Of the South.

crate a huge direct current generator,
which will provide a steady flow OF
pure, unvarying current, with vastly
improved tone resulting.
Amateur set builders will be inter
ested to study the construction OF the
huge power amplifier, which embodics
several new ideas in radio engineer
ing.
STRAY WAVES CONTROLLED.
The fan who suffers from feed
back" in his home made set, and dis
covers a transfer of energy from one
piece of apparatus to another is to
blame, can appreciate the problem
which engineers face in handling radio
currents millions of times as power
full as those which come in over the
broadcast listeners aerial.
The amplifier of a broadcast set, IN
particular, has an evil habit of pick
ing IN impulses from the stations own
antenna, simplifying them again, pick
ing up the magnified wave once more,
and so on, repeating the process sever
al thousand times a second. The re-
suit is chopped IN wave, howl or
distortion in the listeners earphones.
The Southern Radio Corporations
amplificr cannot do this, since every
wire and piece of apparatus in its
makeup is shielded. That is each
part is covered by a metal shield
which, in turn is connected to the
earth. every stray wave which wan
ders in is seized and led away under
ground. where it can do no harm.
LIGHT FURNISHES PROGRAMS.
The antenna equipment of the new
station is conventional. Two 130foot
towers support an aerial 60 feet long,
consisting of six wires. The spread
is % feet. Just above the roof Of the
broadcast studio is the counterpoise,
comprising IS wires, each 67 feet in
length.
The antenna and counterpoise wires
are each made IN Of 81 strands of No.
90 wire. twisted into cables.
Under The Lights arrangement
with the Southern Radio Corporation,
the operation of the new plant will be
divided into two parts. The radio
company will operate the mechanical
equipment. The Light, for its part,
will furnish the programs which are
to be of the highest standard.
The Light already has become
known to thousands Of fans through
out the state through the popularity
Of its baseball broadcasts, inaugurated

MANY NEW IDEAS.

Worthy Of note is the fact that the
new broadcast station will manufac-
ture its own power. from city cur
rent. Many stations employ alter
mating city current, rectified, to op-
crate their tubes, which accounts for
the humming note which is heard
whenever the station is on the air but
not broadcastinS. San Antonio's new
-ation will use the city lines TO op-

disappear. This despite the fact that
the station will be putting out more
power than any studio within 1900
miles.
The Southern Radio Corporations
new building on Pecan street, over
shadowed by two 130-foot towers. is
practically ready for the opening pro.
gram.
The new set which is to advertise
this city in every part OF the country,
was made here in San Antonio. 1t in
corporates several features new to
local listeners.
5000 WATT TUBES
1t is built in three units-oscilla-
tor, incubator and power amplifier.
Two 5000 watt tubes are provided for
the first two. In the amplifier are
four more tubes, each of 80 watts.
Technically, the transmitter is a
modified Hartley oscillator, indLctiyc-
ly coupled, and including in its in
nards a harmonic suppressor which
guarantees that one wave, and one
wave only, will go out from the an
tenna. Inductive coupling, instead oil
the conductive method employed in
less modern stations, assures sharp
ness of tuning.
The five thousand watt frequency
modulator employs the Heissing sys'
TEN, which modulates a greater per-
centage Of the radio wave than any
other discovered TO date. The power
amplifier is of the push-pull type, with
its attendant freedom from distortion.
In addition to all this there is q
three-tube line amplifier of special
construction, which builds up the
voice and music from the microphone,
and feeds it into the set.
COST NEARLY $4,000.
The fan who buys his tubes at IS
each. will gaze almost prayerfully at
the two giant bottles" which will put
out the power. They have little resem-
blance TO the familiar receiving tube.
In the first place, they are water
cooled, like an automobile cylinder
head. Long coils of rubber tubing pass
gallons of water each minute about
the tube elements, to dissipate the ter
rifle heat of the filament. An ingeni-
Gus mechanical continuance makes it
impossible TO light the tubes unless
the water is flowing. for otherwise the
fragile filament would burn out al
most instantly.
The tubes cost $3.50 apiece. fans.
And it is a shock to learn that their
life is only from so to so days, under
average conditions.
The demon statistician estimates the
cost Of operating a tube at $50 hour
| ". The new station. complete, viii
represent an investment of nearly $780,
600.

night before the members of the
Smith School Parent Teacher Asso-
citation and their husbands at the
annual Fathers Night observance of
the club, which was held in the
school building Monday evening.
Mr.. Taylor stressed strongly the
part the Parent-Teacher Associations
may play in seeing that the many
things with which they come in con-
tact and which are sure to have a
share in their development, are of
the proper kind. He mentioned es-
pecially the books. moving pictures
and similar influences which they
are bound to come IN contact.
He spoke in high terms of the
work of the schools of the city and
of the great progress that is being
made in education in general. He
also complimented the teachers
highly upon their work.

be ready to do whatever they could
in q personal way.
Congressman John E. Nelson
showed the difference between the
old style schools and the present day
schools. He pointed out how the
increased efficiency in the schools
could only result in better education
for the students. He declared how
ever that there is one education
which must always be considered in
determining the efficiency Of the
school and that is the teachers of
the school.
In this regard he paid Miss Ada
Edgecomb, the principal OF the
Smith school high compliment de-
claring that nowhere did he know
of teacher better fitted to make
OF her pupils good men and women
as well as educated ones. He ex-
pressed his regret that his duties
make it impossible for him to CO.
operate with the school and its ia
Guilty as he would like it, but stat
ed that he was indeed glad that his
children could go to such a school.
Chairman Frank Hewins OF the
school board spoke with regard to
this city, and gave some very inter-
esting information which was great
ly appreciated.
The meeting was very enjoyable
one and was attended by a large
number of parents. The hostesses
were Mrs. William Warrell, Mrs.
George Royal. Mrs. Fred Malcolm.
Mrs. Blaine Owen and Mrs. Guy
Dow. Delicious refreshments were
served by the hostesses and passed
by the girls of the upper grades.
A very pleasing program was pre-
scented by the pupils of the school,
assisted by an Augusta school or
