FOR BIG RADIO FAIR
Conservatism Is Keynote of Dis

Conservatism seems to be the key
note of the radio shows that have
been arranged for this Fall. To date
most Of the larger cities have an
nounced Fall displays. Approximate
ly rs shows, headed by the Radio
Worlds Fair, to be held in New York

booked.

aganda which made the radio shows
of two years ago among the best
money-making industrial exhibits in
a decade.
From advance literature distributed
by the promoters for many of the
Shows" there will be a tendency to
conf1ne the displays to local dealers,
augmented by booths representative
of a few of the larger radio manu-.
featuring companies and distributors.
The entertainment features, which
played an important part in the shows
of 192324, are being eliminated to a
considerable degree and the exhibits
are being arranged with the idea of
stimulating interest in radio for the
coming Winter and not in the hope
of making money directly. A lesson
was learned last year, when the pub
lie failed to display the interest that
previously had been capitalized.
The New York Radio Worlds Fair
will be the official show of the Radio
Manufacturers Association and ex-

ENGLISH BOYCOTT
OF RADIO PLANNED
Dealers WiIl'Refuse to Handle
Foreign-Made Goods Under
New Association Plan.

If American radio manufacturers
are anxious to establish British mar
kets for their supplies they are ad-
vised to ''do it now," in report to the
Department Of Commerce made today
by Hugh d. Butler. acting commercial
attache at London.
The radio industry of Great Britain
hopes by the end of the year to have
fully developed a unique organization
in the National Association Of Radio
Manufacturers and Traders. The as
sociation is endeavoring to include in
q single organization all three impor
tant trade groups-the manufacturers.
wholesalers and the retailers, all of
whom will decline to deal in foreign
goods.
The ambitious program Of develop
ment which is contemplated by the
association is set forth in detail in a
report by Mr.. Butler. So far the Brit
ish scheme has no parallel in the
American radio industry. where the
only real national organization Of any
one Of three groups Is the Association
Of Radio Manufacturers. which has
just concluded its first national con-
vention. The American wholesalers
and retailers are usually found CO.
operating locally In the ma jority Of
cities where radio merchants asSocia-

Why You Should Not Force Your
Vacuum TubeS.-Part 9.

There is one thing that you must
remember if you want to get maxi
mum efficient service out of your
tubes. The result of letting your A
or B batteries become run down with
out rechaI ging or replacing them will
surely result in lessened efficiency OF
the tubes.
The reason for this is easy to see.
Just as soon as your A battery begins
to run down you will find that the
signals become weaker. You will
find, however. that it is possible to
strengthen the signals by cutting
down the resistance, on the rheostat
and you will gradually cut down on
the resistance more and more as the
battery runs down until you reach a
point where the rheostat is entirely
cut out and you cannot increase, the
signal strength any more by further
manipulation of the rheostat. 1t is
then that you think about looking at
the battery and charging it if 1T is OF
the storage battery type or replacing
it with new cells If you are using a
dry-celI battery.
Expensive Practice.
I have known of fans who, not sat
isfied with this condition, have con-
nected four dry cells in series and put
the entire six volts across the fila
ments of Nv 1919 or c 299 tubes. The
tube will stand this kind of operation
for a short time, but very soon you
will find that while the tubes continue
TO light up, even a fully charged A
battery or new dry cells will not be
able to coax them to give off the re-
quired quota of electronS for efficient
operation.
Then you will have to try reactiva
ton or buy new tubes.
You can easily tell how far to go in
increasing the current for good opera
ton by testing the tubes in the circuit
when you know that the batteries are
in good condition. Just as soon as
you find 1t necessary to turn the
rheostat another quarter turn or so
10 get the results that you got when
the batteries were up to the mark,
then you will know that it is time to
look after your batteries

for wholesalers and retailers, and by
a regulation providing that no whole
saler may become a member of the
association IL his application is reject
ed by the manufacturers group.
So far the organization is only in
the formulative stage, being made up
of 90 manufacturers, 88 wholesalers
and only a small fraction Of the re-
tailers. The blacklisting of American
radio supplies by this body is not as
serious a matter as it might seem, ac-
cording to Mr.. Butler. The diverse
character Of the many retailers ham
ding wireless goods gives the Amer
can exporter or his London representa-.

get maximum audibility Just as soon
as you notice that further decrease of
rheostat resistance fails to increase
audibility to any marked extent you
will know that you have reached the
maximum filament voltage that you
should use. Then work the rheostat
back the other way, increasing the
resistance until you notice a marked
decrease in signal strength. The point
just before the signal begins to in
crease to marked extent is the point
at which you should keep the tube for
best results and long life.

obtainable by such methods.
Can Determine Waste.
The waste resulting from the use of
excessive filament voltage on a tube
of the wv 199 or c 299 type can be
seen very easily by plotting a curve
of audibility against filament voltage.
In the diagram, arbitrary audibility
values are plotted on the vertical
axis, while filament voltage is plotted
on the horizontal axis.
Notice that the relative audibility
curve rises rapidly from 2 volts to
about 2.S volts and then flattens out
and increases only to a negligible ex
tent between 2.S and volts. The con-
clusion that you should draw from
the results shown by the curve is that
1T does not pay to use voltage higher
than about 2.S volts on the filament
of a wv 1919 and c 299 tubes. Any
increase of voltage gives only a slight
increase in audibility, but greatly
shortens the life of the tube. If your
battery is in good condition you can
tell when you are operating the tube
at its best point by gradually decreas-
ing the rheostat resistance until you

though the contemplated plan in
wolves an extension of Rhode Island
avenue through to Hyattsville and the
building of a connecting road from
the present boulevard to the extension
of Rhode Island avenue, this road to
pass under the railroad tracks. The
members voted to recommend the ex-
tension of Rhode Island avenue to
HrattSville and also TO provide a suit
able crossing either over or under the
railroad tracks at Hyattsyille, so that
traffic may move either way.
Forest Warden Scott reported that
the State forester has completed his
survey of the town for the purpose of
ascertaininG the kinds of trees TO be
planted along the streets and their
location. The trees recommended are
elm, willow oak. straight oak and red
gum, to be planted from 35 to 40 feet
apart. If this plan Is followed there
will be a continuous line Of shade on
the streets within eight years. The

take orders for the trees, which will
be supplied at cost by the State for
ester's office: V. A Simmel. chairman,
and Messrs. Weeks, Hamilton, Ras-
