The temporary antenna proved to
be a valuable experience for Smith,
for it demonstrated to him the i'm
portance of details. And that is half
the story.
He found that when you take the
ends of two wires and twist them
together with your fingers the con-
tact thus afforded isn't going to be
the sort that helps a radio set per-
form at its best. He discovered that
though the lead-in wire may saw
against a cornice Of the house and
not stop proceedings altogether. 1t
will cut reception radically. also
causing what often passes for static.
Tks variations in performance oc-
casioned by his constant rearrange-
ment of the lead-in and his fussing
with the makeshift connections told
him very plainly that one of the first
things is to prevent high loss
through good insulation, good con-
nections and low resistance wiring.
But here, like thousands of other
radio fans, he carried the idea too
far and made an interesting error.
As told him, when explaining the
situation, You're favoring yourself,
not radio"

If the potential in the aerial reaches
too high a point a spark jumps the
gap of the arrester and is grounded.
Connect with the steam radiator
for your set ground. And remember
that the ground lead should be as
short as possible. Keep II within six
feet for the best results. And he

Then, having made sure that the
arrester was well insulated and that
the lead-tn tube through the window
frame wasn't crack ed, he proceeded
TO make very neat job of tacking
the insulated extension of the lead
in around the subbase of the room
until the set was reached. 1t was a
fine job. and even Mrs. Smith ap-
proved of his effort to hide all un-
necessary paraphernalia.

"Yes, but / wonder whether the

RIGHT OF WAY TEST
ON IN CINCINNATI
Radio War Called to Atten-
ton OF Secretary Hoover,
Who Plans ArmiStiCe.
BY CARL III. BUTMAN.

Two Cincinnati broadcasters get
credit--if credit is due-for staging
the first real fight for an aerial right
of way. Disputing the right of the
other to use 1929 meters a few days
ago, stations WLW, Crosley, and
WMH, Ainsworth- Gates, both went on
the St simultaneously to the distress
of radio fans within a radius of sew
eral hundred miles. Locally the din
raised was said to be intolerable but
farther away WLW won out, as it's
power was higher and the other sta
tion die not interfere at distant
points az in Washington, for example.
Alarmed at this situation, Secre-
tary Hoover at once sent Commits
sioner ID. B. Carson of the Navigation
Bureau and Chief Radio Supervisor
w. d. Terrell to Cincinnati to hold a
conference with the warning factions
and see if satisfactory time sched-
ule on the 422. .3-meter wave could
not be arranged. District Supervisor
Edwards also was summoned to the
scene of conflict, where an armistice
is now understood to have been
called.
Three Class II Stations In City.
Cincinnati has the distinction of hav-
ing three Glass b stations and only two
wave lengths, but it was thought that
lstactory program for the alternate use
OF the disputed wave length and the
32o.9-meter channel used by WSAI, the
United States Playing Card Co.'S sta
ton. During the past month WSAI and
WMH shal ed the latter wave without
difficulty or interference. When WHM
as had Geen agreed recently shifted to
1928 m1ts-a, no mutual gareement as to
hours could be effected, with WLW, and
hrnl
for the next few nights. An appeal from
the Crosley Company to Supervisor Ed
wards was answered by statement
that the broadcasters must adjust the
matter between them, as had been
planned previously.
Secretary Hoover believes matters
may be adjusted amicably, but is leav-
ing 1t to his aides on the scene. In
the event another radio chanel cannot
be allocated for Cincinnati which is ex-
tremely doubtful, considering the pres
ent congestion, and the stations refuse
TO share the wave lengths, extreme
measures may be considered.
May Charge Malice.
1t is possible that the department may
hold that one of the stations, by re-
fusing to cooperate, is causing mali
cious interference. in which case the
wave channel might be denied TO that
station temporarily at least
This break, the first in Secretary
Hoover's successful administration of
over 500 radio broadcasters on prac-
ucally voluntary basis, may serve
as an example to broadcasters who
strive to gain and hold the respect and
attention of the radio public. 1t is GER
tain that the listeners will not tolerate
another display of temperament in the
ether which spois all their broadcast
reception. A referendum taken in Gin
cinnau alone, it is suggested, would
soon show the attitude of the local
fans, and probably would indicate which
station was preferred regularly.

interference by stringing his anten-
ma from high poles above the roof,
never realizing that while this ap-
peals to the human being as an ideal
method of getting results II doesn't
fit in with radios own ideas along
this line. A high antenna Is not as
selective as a lower one, though the
latter does not give as good results
in volume or in range.
Accordingly the aerial. when COM
pleted, ran about 10 feet above the
roof. The lightning arrester was in
stalled about six inches from the side
Of the house between the lead-in and
an insulated wire leading straight
down to the earth and grounded. Just
before the arrester the lead-in was
tapped for a direct 1ead-in to the set
itself.
The lightning arrester, Smith came
TO learn, is more of a protection
against damaging the set than
against fire damage from lightning.
He could readily appreciate that the
small wire Of the aerial is even less
of an attraction to lightning than
the electric light wires or the metal
water leaders and that, if actually
struck, the aerial would burn to
pieces instantly.

are no longer followed, as they would
hamper efficient radio communication.
This necessitates an international
agreement.
The radio interests of the United
States are deeply interested in the
plans of the conference. Commercial
organiza tions, ship owners, shippers,
manufacturers Of apparatus, and mer-
chants throughout the country would
be benefited by improvements in In
| ternattonal communication which re-
suit from this conference. Many ad-
| vauces in radio development occurred
| in the United States, and the sessions
at Washington will give the foreign
representatives an idea of the prog
| ress made in invention, construction,
and extensive radio communication
systems. Technical experts from all
the world viii be brought together,
and should bring about many inn
provements and advances in interna-
tional radio communication.
Solutions Don't Charge Batteries.
The "wets" Of radioland, who pre-
fer to use storage batteries on the
| filaments. and perhaps the plates of
| their tubes. will be interested in what
practically constitutes an expose by
charging solutions.
An official bureau statement says,
Changing the solution in a storage
battery does not charge it, and con-
tinues as follows:
AN investigation was recently
| made at the Bureau of Standards of
certain solutions which were said to
charge batteries instantly, or in a
short time as compared with the
l
shown that batteries containing these
solutions, contrary to the claims made
for them, behave in accordance with
well established laws of electro
chemistry.
Analysis revealed these solutions
to contain 3S to AZ per cent of sui
phuric acid, which is about the
| amount in the ordinary electolyte of
an automobile battery when charged.
In some of them were found also
significant amounts of sodium or
| magnesium as well as scoloripg mat
ter. The sodium may have been add
ed as soda, lye or glauber salts; the
magnesium as epson salts. The use
OF sodium sulphate (glauber salts) in
batteries Is an old story. 1t was sug-
gested more than 80 years ago, but
various authorities since that time
have stated that such material is
without beneficial effect. This has
been confirmed blythe bureaus re-
cent experiments, which show the
rate of sulphation of plates to be
| unaffected by even to 5 per cent
of EPSON salts or glauber salts.
Comparison was made between
| batteries containing these solutions
and similar batteries containing cleo
trolyte of sulphuric acid of equivalent
strength. No essential differences
were shown in the charging, the
voltage, the efficiency ar the tenn
perature When a battery is said to
be charged it is understood that the
battery is fully charged. A battery
which is almost completely dis
| charged may have nearly the same
voltage as one that is charged. In
this condition it may be able to
operate the starter of an automobile.
but this fact cannot be taken as evil
dence that the battery is fully
charged. 1t takes as long to fully
charge battery containing one of
these solutions as to charge a sim
liar battery containing the ordinary
electrolyte.
The indiscriminate addition Of these
solutions to a battery is not advisable,

LEGION AMERICANISM
COMMITTEE APPOINTED

Inc AmerlcanlSm committee of the
American Legion, department of Ari-
zona, having charge of citizenship
work in the state, has been completed
by the appointing of state chairman
and q county chairman for each coun-
ty Of the state.
The Anericanism- committee. has
under consideration matters dealing
with immigrants, American traditions
and institutions, personal liberty, ma
tlcnal morale and unity, and national
health and physical welfare It's I'M
mediate goal is the teaching of citi-
zenship and of physical education in
the schools Of the state.
The proposed work Of the commit
tee was submitted to the state, board
OF education at its October meeting
and met a very favorable reception.
At the present time some of the fore
most educators and physical directors
of the state are at work as a board in
formulating an outline, manual and
lesson plans in the field of national
health and physical education. A
close study is being made ofs the laws,
outlines, manuals and lesson plans Of
the different states of the union and
foreign countries, as basis for the
formulation of a proper system for
the state Of Arizona The study, when
completed, will be submitted to the
state board of education for it's ap-
proval.
As part of its physical development
the committee will inaugurate and
sponsor mass athletic games through
out the state, confining activities this
year to basketball, baseball and track
and field work. Already the rules
and regulations for the basketball
worR are being distributed.

GIN B0OTLEGGER
GETS AWAY WITH COTTON

The cotton fields in the vicinity of
Scottsdale have turned up new kind
Of law violator, to-wit, a cotton thief
on wheels.
Rancher Jarnegon, residing five
miles west Of Glendale, went to his
cotton field TO take load of cotton
to the gin and discovered that fast
working party, driving a California
licensed car, had coupled onto the
wagon and departed for unknown
parts.
Mr. Jarnegon then took up a hot
pursuit, and after picking up and
losing the trail several times, landed
about p. m. at the Scottsdale gin,
where he ascertained the cotton had
Ia short time befoIe--been ginned
and sold.>
While the cotton was being ginned
the party piloted the wagon off to
some unknown spot, and returned to
the gin and received his bale ticket
and sample, and immediately~sold the
cotton. He then deposited the check
for $21S in the bank, took a deposit
Slip for same, drew SIS of it in cash
and quickly disappeared.
Jarnegon notified the sheriff's Of
flee and in a few minutes deputies
were on the ground and hot on the
trail and it is to be hoped, will soon
have the miScreant in custody.

to adverse political influences, both
republican and democratic, stating
that he had full information concern

FORWARD ARIZONA WEEK
PHOENIX JAN, IL TO Is

With conventions of five Of the
states greatest agricultural livestock
and industrial organizations to be fol-
lowed by the annual meeting of a
leading national livestock body, Ari-
zona viii hold it's largest and most
important convention week here Jan
uary IL 20 Is with "Cooperation" and
Forward Arizona" as its keynotes.
The state conventions, forming a
series Of direct interest to every Ari-
zonan, will draw hundreds of Arizona
citizens from all parts of the state,
and will culminate in one big pros
perity celebration and public dance
the night of the 18th in which all the
organizations will join Another big
dance will follow the night of the
18th in honor of, the American Ma
tional Livestock association, which
will bring hundreds of stoclmen to-
gether from all parts of the country.
Cooperation week" will open on
Monday, January II, with annual CON
ventions of the Arizona State Farm
Bureau federation. Connected with
the former will be the annual meeting
of the Maricopa County Farm bureau,
with big crowd of farmers from the
Salt River valley joining large dele
cations from the Yuma, Pima, PinaI,
Cochise, Yavapai, Coconino and other
county farm bureaus in the state
meeting.
Farmers, stockmen, chamber Of
commerce delegations, business men,
industrial representatives and citizens
from every industry and section of
the state will come together ON Tues
day, January II, for the annual con-
vention of the Arizona Industrial con-
gress, devoted to discussion of CO.
operation in solving each others
problems, coordination of each others
efforts along common lines, and state
development and colonization under
the slogan ''For a Greater Arizona" :"
On that day the state meeting Of the
Arizona Cattle Growers association
also will be held, to be followed the
18th, 18th and Is th by sessions Of
the American National Livestock as
sociation.
The night Of the 18th will see the
greatest cooperative celebration ever
held in the state, when all the state
organizations join in huge pros
perity celebration and public dance at
the big Shrine auditorium in Phoenix,
to be directed by the Industrial con
gress. Sponsoring the celebration
with the congress will be the Arizona
Farm Bureau federation and the Arr
zona Wool Growers association,
whose members will attend in a body,
along with the visiting cattlemen and
A. !. G. members from its various in
dustrial and business groups.
Plans for the celebration provide
FOR making it the biggest thing OF the
kind ever held in the state, with a
host of novelty features, coptests,
prizes and buffet supper Dance
specialties will be presented by num-
ber of womcn's clubs and neighbor-
hood clubs in the Salt River valley,
many Of which will attend in body,
and the addition of serpentines and
noise makers will make it a carnival
night. Tickets arc already being sold,
so LARGE a crowd is expected, and
everybody is invited.
The cattlemen's ball to be given
the night of the 18th with all the
features Of national affair will be
an equally notable event of the week.

BEGINS EXCAVATION
OF ANCIENT PHOENIX

Erich Schmidt, an archaelogist of
the American museum of natural his
tory, familiar with the southwest
through extensive work among its
ruins, has started excavating at the
ancient village Of Phoenix, lying on
the Tempe road a short distance from
the present city.
Primarily, Mr.. Schmidt is seeking
to ascertain the relative age Of the
Phoenix ruin, the largest and be-
heved by many TO be the ns5st inn
portant in Arizona. The American
museum of natural history has long
been interested in the ruin and it is
believed that the excavations will re-
suit in the obtaining of much import
ant information concerning the pre-
historic people of Arizona.

AN EGGS-AGERATOR'S
SCHEME TO CHEAT HENS

According to L. c. Boggs, extension
poultryman, laying hens should have
a f4-hour day, even in the depth Of
winter. He suggests that lighting be
afforded in the henhouse in the late
afternoon or early morning, or that
the birds be reused By light for an
evening meal, after roosting for sew
eral hours.
All this is on the basis Of computar
tion that digestion is finished within
five hours after meal, leaving the
hento draw upon her store of fat for
the balance OF Q 12-hour night.
If electricity be available, the lights
may be turned on and off by, simple
automatic clock devices, with inclus-
ion of an alarm that viii serve to adj
wise the hens that another day has
begun, one in which an egg reason
ably may be expected. The agricul-
tural extension service of the univer-
sity started its 1926 egg laying CON
test December /.
