Master Piano Class =
May Be Held Here
By Dumesnil

Maurice Dumesnil, the noted
French pianist and interpreter
Of the moderns, has been invited
by the Jordan Piano Company to
return to Washington for a
week, in the near future, to con-
duct a series of Master
Classes" that are being arranged
through Jordan's ''teachers-co-
operative department"
Dumesnil, friend of Debussy,
of Ravel and their contempo-
raries in Paris, received requests
from teachers during his stay
here recently, asking If it would
be possible for him to remain
here long enough to make these
classes possible. He taught all
last summer in Paris and the
idea enlanated from American
students, who found him so
great teacher at that time.
The Master Glass" in Wash
igton will be an innovation. The
Jordan Piano Company is now
making tentative arrangements
to perfect this plan whereby both
class and private lessons may be
obtained from this noted artist,
probably some time in January.
For instance, for intensive
work, a class of two hours day
is contemplated, for three days
in succession. 1t will also be
arranged that advanced piano
pupils, who merely want to be
listeners in the class, may at
tend at very small fee.
interested is desired at an early
Enrolment of those who are
time, as the artist can only be
secured for brief period. In
bringing so broad plan into
effect in Washington, the city
will be given a truly cosmopoli-
tan contact with the teaching
of this artist and probably other
artists who will greatly enrich
our horizon.

pass through a bank Of vacuum tube

wire to the laboratory of the Radio
Corporation located in the building in
Broad street.
Here this unintelligible code, carry
rying the photograph, is translated
back into black and white. recording

of stippled engraving
This device in the RCA laboratory
(the final operation involved between
transmitter and receiver) decides or
unscrambles the complex photo mes
sage, giving each individual electrical
pulse of energy definite task TO per-
form in reassembling the picture
The picture is reproduced in dupli-
cate to the receiver, both on a paper
record and on a photograph film. The
paper on which the record is made is
wrapped about a rotating cylinder,
which, in size and appearance. much
resembles the early type wax phOnO-
graph record. A specially constructed
fountain pen bears against this just as
the needle of the monograph does on
record. The pen is attached to an
electrically controlled lever in such a
way that every pulse Of electrical cur
rent which passes through the magnet
coils of the relay lever draws the pen
| to the surface Of the paper, making a
fine ink mark. A changing current fed
through the magnet coils causes the
pen to wiggle in step with the current
impulses, thus giving the artistic stip-
pling effect in the reproduced picture.
Absolute Synchronism.
One of the outstanding requirements
in sending pictures by radio or wire
is absolute synchronism of the sending
apparatus with the receiving device,
otherwise distortion will occur. If the
receiving apparatus should lag the
slightest particle Of time behind the
transmitting set, the received picture
would be blurred and unrecognizable.
This necessary synchronism is main
tanned by the use of special driving mo-
tors, one geared to the transmitting
cylinder and the other geared to the
receiving cylinder These motors. al
though separated by 5000 miles main
tain the same speed. To check against
any change which might occur, special
controlling mechanism is attached to
the receiver, based upon the constant
pitch Of the tuning fork

Loose Connections Are
Cause of Much Trouble

Loose connections have been the
cause Of many of the troubles expert
enced in receiving sets. When wires
are connected to nuts, binding posts,
etc., or with each other, care should be
taken to see that these joints are
tight and if possible soldered. No
joints should be left unsoldered except
those which have to be changed from
time to time, such as the batteries and
headphones. 1t is advisable sometimes
to solder the "B" batteries, as these
usually last about six months. A good
joint is, first of all, one that is strong
enough to hold up under the strains of
handling. When two wires are con-
nected they should be soldered at the
center. The solder part makes the
connection perfect, and the rest of the
splice takes up the strain.

Electrons Are Negative
Charges of Electricity

To receive with vacuum tube. the
filament must be heated by passing an
electric current through it. When a
metallic substance is heated in a
vacuum, it sends out from its surface
millions of extremely minute particles
which are called electroDs. These ele,,-
irons are small negative charges of
electricity, the smallest known subdi
visions of matter, and upon them the
whole action OF the tube depends. The
filament is there for the sole purpose
of emitting these electrons.
