England Selects Davison
 Scholars for Schools

CAMBRIDGE, July 31. P)-T h C committee of the Henry P. Davison Scholarship Fund has selected the following scholars for the academic year 1925-26: H. H. Thomas of Sid ney Sussex to Yale; w. P. N. Ed wards of Corpus Christi to Prince ton, and G. c. R. Eley of Trinity to Harvard. Thomas won the Chan cellor's medal for English verse this year; Eley recently gained first in the law tripos and Edwards has played golf for the University.
 The Henry P. Davison Scholarship Fund was founded in 1923 by Mrs. Davison, widow of the former chair man of the Red Cross and partner in J. P. Morgan & Co.,, in memory of her husband and to carry out an ideal of his own. The fund provides that six English students represent, ing "the highest type of university man" shall spend at least year in 1 Harvard, Yale or Princeton. The object of the fund is ito aid in fos tering goodwill betwene the United States and Great Britain"

wuI HAT will be the favorite cir
lWI cult this coming season Is
a question asked by many
interested in radio. The replies
from some seem to say super
heterodyne is bound to be it: others
claim much for the multitude re-
fiex circuits and say their econ
omy is a point which is much
sought for by all; still others claim
form of tuned radio frequency
receiver, somewhat on the order
of the neutrodyne, but without its
bad features, viii take the country
by storm.
1t goes without question that
last season was a neutrodyne sea-
SON and they performed very well
when it is considered that In the
great majority of cases the sets
were being operated while i'm
properly neutralized.
Manufacturers have realized
that present methods Of neutral
ization left much to be desired.
It could not be done by the aver
age man; an attempt would be
made, but the job was seldom fin
ished to his satisfaction. The feel
ing that it wasn't exactly right
was ever present, and the feeling
was usually right.
Neutralizing by means of COM
pensating coils is being used with
much satisfaction, and the process
is truly simple one, and now
comes a receiver employing two
stages of tuned radio frequency,
detector and two stages OF audio
frequency amplification, but with
out any compensatfng condensers
or coils--in the talk OF the radio
shop, nothing to fuss with.
This new receiver is known as
the Freshman Masterpiece and was

engineer of the Charles Freshman

coupling coils, wound in such a
manner so as to reduce capacities

a close coupling between the pri-

which prevents or reduces oscilla-

forms OF tuned radio frequency re-
ceivers used a comparatively loose

make the set oscillate.

then be turned down two divisions

ARGENTINA NEXT
TO SERENADE j. s.
Radio Corporation Consider
ing Giant Transmitter in
BuenoS Aires.

Argentina is the country most like
ly to be selected as the next to sere-
made the United States.
Having successfully demonstrated
it's ability to rebroadcast England to
America, the Radio Corporation of
America. while continuing it's expert
ments with transatlantic broadcast
ing, is understood to be preening a
giant transmitter in Buenos Aires
for South Americas debut radio con-
cert in the States
Following the Argentine, Japan may
well be expected to add its voice to
the international chorus of broad
casters, which David Sarnof, vice
president and general manager of the
Radio Corporation, has predicted will
soon be heard around the world.
Such a course of development would
be following up the channel already
established for world wide wireless
communication by telegraph. 1t is
an interesting feature of the demon
strations of the past week that very
little equipment supplementary to the
apparatus already in use for trans
oceanic telegraphy was required. The
10-mile antenna at Belfast, Me-, used
for the reception of the program is
the same antenna that is used for
reception of telegraphic messages
when static or other forms of inter-
ference render. reception unsatisfac-
tory at Riverhead, Long Island. The
Chelmsford transmitter similarly, is
one of the principal sending stations
for transoceanic wireless telegraphy.
In rebroadcasting the human voice
and a musical concert across the
ocean, however ii was necessary to
develop special type of receiver
and to conduct extensive experiments
in eliminating static and other forms
Of interference.
In a statement made public by Of
ficials of the Radio Corporation 1t is
explained that the rebroadcast con-
certs of last week are only expert
mental and that the difficulties of
transoceanic reception are not to be
underestimated.
1t may happen, the statement de-
clares. that from time to time during
the Spring and Summer the expert
ments will have to cease because of
storms and other Interruptions which
will not permit the tests to be made
under predetermined conditions.
Enough progress has been made, how
ever, the statement concludes, to war
rant the declaration that the world is
now entering upon an era of inter
national broadcasting that will event
ually bring the entertainment, speech
and music of other countries to every
home in America.

BY JOSEPH CALCATERRA,
Noted Authority on Radio.


In wave length; while a change of 10
degrees on the upper portion of the
dial from 80 to 100 degrees produces
change of only 1913 meters, then
if, Tor the sake OF argument we say
that stations are transmitting 10
meters apart, there will be approxi-
mately eight stations to tune in in
the first 10 degrees OF the dial and
only three stations to tune in in the
last 10 degrees of the dial, SO that
greater latitude of movement is AL
lowed on the upper readings than
can be hoped for in the lower dial
readings.
Obviously, the remedy is to take
care of this condition by a special
design of the plates, making IL nee
essary to turn through a larger
angle at the lower end of the dial
to cover the Wave-length range. In
other terms, what must be accom-
plished is to cause a greater change
| of capacity on the upper scale read
ings for given angular motion of
| the dial The method used to OBJ
tain this result will be described

WHERE GRID LEAK COUNTS

The more energy picked up by the
antenna the greater the surplus of
electrons and the more need of an
efficient bypass. When the energy
is relatively weak, as usually is the
case with distant stations, a grid leak
which Is satisfactory on local stations
will bypass parts Of this low energy
from distant stations, and may elm
mate the signal entirely.
Therefore, while we have more force
than we need when receiving nearby
stations, we have too little on the dis
tant ones, and must have some means
of variation so we may gather into
our receiver every bit of energy and
use it without losing or by-passing
one more electron than we can pos
sibly help.
Take a broadcasting station of. let
US say, 500-watt pawer. Your attenna,
which is, for example, 200 miles away
from the station, picks up its fair
share, which is usually enough to
operate the loud speaker satisfac-
torily. The aerial of some one else is

10 times farther away (2O00 mlles).
That same original 500-watt energy
is now distributed over a much larger
circle. The anteHna of the other feI-
low, 1000 miles away, has very much
less energy to gather in, and every bit
is required to produce sound within
hhe receiver. AS a rubber band be-
comes thinner and thinner as il is
stretched, SO does the electrical energy
diminish as the circle becomes larger
The signals are faint or stronger, de-
pending upon whether or not the grid
leak is wasting energy

The SGuare-Law, Strafght-Line Wave
length Celebration Variable Con-
denser. Part IL.

The wave length of the circuit dis
cussed in yesterdays article, using
an inductance coil of a millihenries
and a condenser with it's minimum
capacity OF 13 micro o-microfarads, is
according to the formula, 1858
meters.
If we move the condenser dial 10
degrees Con a 100-degree diaD TIE
capacity will change from 13 to 36.7
micro -microfarads and the wave
length will change to 220.52 meters,
a difference of SAP meters.
Another 10-degree change in the
dial setting will increase the con-
denser capacity by another 22.7
micro -microfarads and viii bring the
stotal capacity in the circuit to 500
micro -microfarads with a corre-
spending change of wave, length to
292.04 meters, 4 difference of 71.42
meters from the previous condition.
Another change of 10 degrees to
the 30-degree mark will increase the
capacity to S4.1 micro mi microfarads
with an increase in wave length to
345.6S .meters, a change of only 1854
meters in wave length.
Maximum Circuit Capacity.
The highest wave length to which
the circuit will tune, using the MAXI
mum capacity (250 micro-mt:ro-
farads) of the condenser is 596 me-
ters This would be with the dial
set at 100 on a zero-to-100 dial4N
At 80 degrees the capacity ofNthe
condenser would be about 23.7 micro
microfarads less. or 1858 micro
microfarads. The wave length of the
circuit using this amount of capacity
would be 5000, or a difference be-
tween the 80 and 100 degree setting
of only 29.s meters.
Now we can very easily see that
while the movement of the dial over
every 10-degree change produces a
uniform change in capacity of the
condenser. it does not produce a uni
form change in the wave length of
the circuit.
SeIective Tuniag.
The result is that in tuning in with
such a condenser stations separated d
by a certain number of meters on the
wave-length scale on the lower
wave-leng-th band will crowd closely
together on the lower end of the
dials while higher wave-length sta
tions. separated by the same meter
difference in wave length, will be
separated considerably on the dial
readings.
Selective tuning, therefore. can
only be accomplished on the higher
wave lengths.
The reason for this is more or less
obvious. If a change of 10 degrees
on the dial for the first 10 degrees
produces change. of S4.72 meters

''The onward and upward trend

workmen injured in employment
shall be compensated adequately
and speedily as a part of the cost

ence has shown that only in a few
instances is the individual employ
er able to compensate the injured
employee, and that lacking ade-
quate compensation the injured
workman and his dependents be-
come pauperiZed and burden

solution is to have system of col

the state, by means or which each
industry collectively bears the bur-
den of compensation for injuries
occurring in that industry. That
is, the mines pay for the mine, the
business men for the business man,
the farmers for the farmer, but the
farmer has nothing to do with the
mines nor the businessman, nor
have the mines anything to do with
the farmer. Each industry is
classified according to it's kind and
pays it's own way independent of
any other industry
