Radio Editor:
The station which Mr. Dewey l.
Smith referred to in his query as
broadcasting between 7:l5 and 7:30

answer your query.
Radio Editor:
As have received many letters
from fans in regard to my long-range
crystal set referred to in your column
recently, 1 wish to say, for their
benefit and I'm reply to the query of
Mr.. C. E. Surrier, also appearing in
your column. the following:
There isn't set on the market
like the one l have; at least I have
never seen any. II is homemade. AS
I am still experimenting with 1t. I
prefer not to publish the hook k-up at
this time. When l first started I
only received 100 miles; now l re-
contented, I will try and give them
a crystal set with the same range as
three tubes. The reason I answered
the piece in The Star where the Ma
tional Radio Institute said 25 miles
was the limit under normal condi-
tions, and others are always saying
you have to use a tube set to get dis
tant stations. l thought I would let
these people know that long distance
can be got on other than tube sets.
1 agree with Mr.. Surrier when he
said batteries, tubes, etc, are expen-
sive. Before I turn this loose to the
public I am going to try 1t out in the
four parts of the city - northeast,
southeast, northwest and southwe e ct
to see il it will do the same thing
there. Now, I don't want the fans to
feel sore at me for not giving out tn e
secret for publication, as I want to
be sure 1T will work anywhere. The
fans probably will hear from some
that have heard for themselves

20 ACQUITTALS FINISH
BAILEY TOBACCO CASE
Government Fails to Get Single
Conviction in 49 Mail
Fraud Charges.
By the Associated Press.

GREENSBORO, y. G. February IA.
With unexpected suddenness. the
Bailey trial terminated in Federal
court here yesterday when the jury
after an hour of deliberations re-
turned a verdict of not guilty as to
the twenty remaining defendants of
ftcers and statesmen of Bailey Broth
ers, Inc, of Winston Salem. charged
with scheme to use the mails TO
defraud in connection with a stock
selling campaign put on in 1921-22
OF the original 40 defendants
named in the indictment. 19 cases
had been dismissed by directed YER
diets, one defendant died before the
trial began and the remainder were
mol pressed either during the trial or
Immediately following announcement
of the verdict.
The termination of the Bailey case
marks the end of one of the largest
crashes in the tobacco industry in
the South. The corporation went into
the hands of a creditors committee in
May, 1929, and voluntary petition in
bankruptcy was filed in December of
the same year. The litigation grew
out of the allegations that the com
pany had sold s 300. 900 in stock at a
time when officers of the company
knew 1t to be inSolvent.

the celebration of the fifteenth ami

You will notice that in this case the
signal passes through the tubes in
order, first going through number one
tube, after which it is rectifed by the
tube after which II is rectified by the
crystal detector shown by square
figure. After it is reduced to an audio
frequency current it is passed
through the tubes in the same
order in which It passed through
them as a modulated radio frequency
wave.
II is easy to understand that a
weak signal or current variation in
the grid circuit OF a tube will cause
mparatively small current varia-
tfon or small current flow in the plate
circuit of the tube, while strong
signal or current variation in the grid
circuit will cause a comparatively
circuit of the tube.
Now let us see how this applies to
the threetube circuit shown in the
functional diagram of Fig. l.

This plate variation is applied to the

The audio frequency current is now

The result then is that we. have

it were discovered 1t was doubtful
whether a suitable port from which

WEARS ago, Studebaker started to work
i to certain goal D.. :. ). the manufacture
Of quality car under the One-P Profit
Unit-Built plan that won the world to
Ford In the low-price field.
To gain it, we plowed the earnings of
years back into our business We declared
only reasonable dividends We used more
than half of all earnings developing plants
and machinery that stand out as world
models. AS a result, we have one hun
dred million dollars lin net assets con-
centrated on the production of One-Proft
Studebakers.
Because Studebaker builds for Stude-
baker cars all bodies, aNengines, all axles,
clutches, differentials, steering gears,
springs, gear sets, gray iron castings and
drop forgings-it is possible to give pur-
chasers three advantages:
1. One-Proft Value, because Stude-
baker eliminates extra profits which all
other manufacturers Except Ford) must
pay to outside parts or body makers. Thus
Studebaker is able to use steel of extra
toughness, fine northern white ash and
hard maple for body framework, wool

upholstery, plate glass, painstaking work
manship to precision standards, and extra
equipment, such as gasoline gauge, clock,
stop light, etc.-yet charge no more than
competing cars
2. UnitBuilt Construction, because all
parts are not only designed to constitute
one harmonious unit, but are Unit-B
in Studebaker plants. Being built as a
unit, every Studebaker functions as unit.
This results in years longer life, scores of
thousands of miles of excess transporta-
ton, greater riding comfort minimum
repair costs.
3. ',No.Yearly-Models," because all
phases of manufacture are directly under
Studebaker control. Studebaker cars are
constantly kept up to date. Improvements
are continually made-not saved for spec
tacular announcements which make cars
artifcially obsolete. Resale values are thus
stabilized.
Consider these facts when buying anv
car in the quality field. For actual proof
OF these values we urge you to see the
Standard Six Coach, outstanding example
of One-Proft manufacture.

Worlds most powerful car

the Studebaker Standard Six is the most
powerful car OF It's size and weight.
The most popular car in the Standard Six
line 10 the Coach-the lowest priced enclosed
car ever offered by Studebaker.
Thirty-one makes have s-passenger closed
models which cost from $50 to 81 800 more
than the Standard Six Coach but have less
rated horsepower.
II has much more room than the average
coach 1t seats five passengers in real COM
forthwith ample leg and head roou1-with
room to enter or leave without disturbing

In the Standard Six Coach we use northern
ash and maple IL the body construction-ths
same as in our Big Six models.
1t is trimmed in fine grade of wool uphol-
stery-a durable fabric that will wear for
many years.
This Standard Six Coach Is an unusually
comfortable car Seats are restfully deep and
full width, with extra springs and ~ inches
of genuine curled hair in the cushions. It has
genuine full-size balloon tires, for which
steering mechanism and tenders have been
especially designed.
Long resilient springs made OF special
chrome Vanadium steel give greater buoy
ancy and protection from road shocks. The
crankshaft IS completely machincd to reduce
vibration to minimum.
In addition, there's gasoline gauge on the
dash, an 8day clock, automatic windshield
cleaner, rear-view mirror, door pockets, ash

light, tire carrier locked by the same KEY that
locks door and the splendid coincidental lock
