ST0CKYARD SINGER
IS HIT ON RADIO

Few radio artists have to change
,.:eir personality so completely when
they go on the air as Pat Holster,
tenor who broadcasts from Station
WOK every Monday noon. Neither
do they have to change their clothing
so completely.
For Mr.. Hoster virtually steps
from the hog pens at the stockyards
into the refined atmosphere of n radio
studio. It's long stride, but the
radio artist makes it several times
week when he has engagements to
sing in public. In the morning he
is a hard-headed hog buyer, and
looks the part; but in the afternoons
and evenings he is a muscian-and
looks the part.

RADIO ENTERTAINERS
DUE IN CHICAGO

Russ Wiley and Billy Sheehani
widely known to radio fans as a har-
mony team, will interrupt a six
months radio tour of the country to
return to Chicago during the radio
show this month. While here they
will broadcast regularly from Station
WOK, Chicago's 217.3 meter wave
length station. The boys left Chi.
cago five weeks ago and have thus
far visited Minneapolis. st. Louis,
New Orleans, Atlanta and Cleveland
At each city they were featured on
programs broadcast from the local
stations.

23l Meters and Calf
KUT' Assigned to "
New Station.

License for broadcasting has been
granted the University of Texas radio
station at Austin, and the call let
ters KUT have been assigned it, ac-
cording 10 DIR. s. L. Brown in charge
of the station. The call letters are to
bue used in the slogan KUN to the
University Of Texas" The power Of
the station is TO be 500 watts on a
wave length of 231 meters. although
the station may be raised in wave
length Mt some later date. This pow
er will give the university station n
sending range of upward Of 800 to
1000 miles at night.
Market and weather reports will not
be sent out at this time. 1t is plan
ned, however. to begin immediately
regular schedule of programs to be
given two nights each week. One pro-
gram will be given by university tall
ent, such as the glee clubs, lectures
by members Of the faculties, the Uni-
versity band and various organizn-
tons. On the other night the talento
will be drawn from Austin residents
and elsewhere. and will always be the
best obtainablc, DIR. Brown said. r
Embraced in the territory this stse
ton will serve regularly, including
the entire state of Texas and many
other states as well, it is estimated
that there are about $4,000 radio rc-i
ceiving sets on farms and over 300.-l
600 in towns and cities.

Anyone Who Can Hold

structor of Fine Receiver.

Many readers Of The Light, unac-
customed to the Interpretation of ordi-
nary radio diagrams, have appealed to
the radio department for publication
OF a drawing simple enough to aid
the most recent amateur in his con.
struction Of a Browning-Drake re-
ceiving set.
The Light, therefore, prints here
with a phantom drawing of four-tube
Browning.D Drake, with each connec-
tion numbered separately, for the pur-
pose of clearing the mystery for those
who have had difficulty in compre-
hending the schematic form of dia-
gram.

SET GETS DISTANCE.
In this particular set, it will be
noted, the two audio transformers hap
4 pen to be of different types. At that
particular time two transformers of
the same brand were not obtainable in
the city. The difference in shape and
size makes no difference in the per-
Torrance Of the set. The terminals
are marked a. and G. in the diagram
so that the reader may place these
instruments in their proper places.
The transformer near the center is of
5 to 1 ratio. the other 3 1-2 to /. All
other pieces of apparatus may be To-
Gated on the Dashboard easily by ref.
erence to the diagram.
In placing the tube sockets, the
builder can identify the various ter
mina1s by noting the position of the
slot in the socket which accommodates
the peg on the side of the vacuum
tube.
z Amateurs who follow this layout
will notice that the arrangement is
wrong. at first glance, in that the plus
and minus terminals of the tube fila.
ments are in some cases reversed.
MAKES NO DIFFERENCE.
This fact makes not the slightest
difference in the opeation of the set.
however, since the direction of the
current which flows through tube
filament is unimportant. The mark
ings on the sockets are placed there
only for convenience in building.
In constructing the set by this dia-
gram, simply trace out the wires
which connect two numbered termin-
ais. as given in the list below.
Then make the connections. using
as short wire as possible. and using
curves where necessary rather than
fsharp right angle bends.

is no short circuit. and it is safe to
attach A and b batteries to their
proper binding posts and operate the
set.

no filament switch was provided. II
this feature is desired the switch may
be mounted on the panel between the
ticker shaft and the first rheostat
Cut the wire between I and 3. and
attach the cut ends to either side OF
the switch.
The switch then will cut off all
tubes when pulled. regardless of the
positions of the rheostats, which may
be left at their most effective set
ting.
= Failure Of the set to oscillate when
the ticker is manipulated indicates
that the flexible leads to the ticker
are reversed. Remove ticker coil from
mounting shaft. turn it over and re-
place in this position. which has the
same effect as switching tie wires
The set should now oscillate readily.
