practically any type of set he may
choose simply by buying the extra
coils in the construction of new
type of set.
The advent of the Ford" in radio
in the form Of very cheaply con-
structed sets has created overnight
an astonishing demand for complete
sets. This demand for complete sets
does not in any way mean that fewer
fans are building sets. AS matter
of fact the radio parts business for
the past season has been greater than
ever before in the history of this in
FAINT industry. Jobbers and dealers
all report that their sales of parts
have been more than ever before and
that they do not anticipate any fall
ing off in the demand for parts dur
ing the coming season.
No Revolutionary Changes.
One of the reasons for the consid-
cradle increase in the sales of COM
plete sets has come partly because of
the logical breaking down of the re-
sistance to buying which many eau
tious people have entertained because
they thought that developments in
ra dio were going to reVolutionize the
design of radio sets. These people
are beginning to realize that no revo-
lutionary changes will take place and
are no longer putting off their radio
enjoyment because of that reason.
The coming of the cheap set has
brought TO the fore in the buying
field a great class of people who were
unable to pay the high prices asked
heretofore for receivers and who We're
unable because of lack of the re-
quired skill TO build their own.
The cheap set draws its buyers
from an entirely different class and

STATIC E[|M|NATOR
STILL UNDEVEL0|PED
Bureau of Standards Finds
1t DirectionaI; Doubts
RemOVerS.

Looking interestedly but skeptically
into the many forms of static elm
inators offered or suggested to the
public this Spring, experts of the
Bureau of Standards are going ahead
along their own lines of research,
confident that the real static remover
is a thing yet to be developed.
Bureau officials contend that the one
big fact known to date Is that static is
directional. $50 far" one of them
said today. that is our only guide in
our search for the cause and the re-
moval of the annoyance"
1T is true" it was explained. that
static can be reduced. But so far
nearly all of the static-reducers have
at the same time reduced the strength
of the signals. These methods of de,
creasing the interference do not there
fore lead to the real solution of the
problem. What we must have In
mind Is a method by which static can
be removed without affecting the sig
nal strength"
Crowds Noises Out.
Interesting work has been carried
out by the Radio Corporation of
America in it's fight against static in
reference in transoceanic communi-
cation. Taking the directional fea-
ture of static into account, 1t has con
structed its receiving station at River
head, Long Island, in such way that
undesired noises can be crowded in
behind the teleSra phic signals and
thereby eliminated to some extent.
The increase of power used by
broadcasting stations also will be OBJ
served carefully by the engineers at
the bureau this Summer to see to
what extent stronger signals will over
ride the static disturbances.
Many suggestions for elimination of
static have drifted into the bureau
and all are given careful considera-
ton. The underground antenna and
the tree antenna, chanpioned by Gen.
Squier of the Signal Corps, have been
the two most interesting of the re-
ducers to be brought before the public
this year.

Big Virginia Plant Planned.

A super-power broadcasting station
for Richmond, Va, now being con-
templated, would give that State its
first big radio voice. Most Virginia
listeners-in now take their best pro-
grams from KDkA, at Pittsburg, WSB,
Atlanta and the two Washington sta
tions, WRC and WCAP. The plant
proposed for Richmond would be a
2.0O0-watt affair and would probably
share time with some one of the 9th
er Eastern stations

has little if any effect on the sales
of parts or of expensive receivers.
We will always have with us the
tinkerer who likes to boast of the re-
suits he gets from his homemade re-
ceiver. This type of fan uses good
parts and the results he obtains are
usually much better than those OBJ

Difference i'm Transformers.

In a homemade set the audio
transformers, the condensers, the
sockets, the rheostats and most of
the other essential elements are the
same. The difference lies chiefly in
the design of the radio frequency
transformers or tuning elements and
the circuit used in wiring the parts
together.
The average radio fan with some
mechanical ability, therefore, can buy
these essential elements and build

Parts, Kits or Complete Setse

One of the most important ques-
tions which the newcomer in the
radio field must decide not only has
to do with the type of set to get for
his purpose, but also to determine
whether he shall build his set from
parts or kits or buy the set complete
In his choice of complete sets. the
buyer is usually limited to the vari-
GUS models which are available at the
dealer nearest to him. In his choice
of sets to build a greater latitude is
allowed because the parts with which
to build set are more generally dis
tributed.
A dealer cannot carry every type
of complete set because of the space
which such complete sets take up
and because of the large outlay of
money that is required to carry such
sets.
There is very little limit, however,
on the parts which a dealer can carry
because the various circuits which
have been described in the many
radio magazines and in the radio sec
tons of the various papers differ
from each other only in minor de-
tails.

1T is highly undesirable, how

ried in the last District appropriation

That would finally dispose of that
question and largely remove 1t from
the field of annual controversy. At
the same time. the rapid increase of
taxable property in the District, to-
gether with the small increase in
the tax rate that has been put in
effect this year, will insure rapid de-
velopment of the city in regard to

With the avowed purpose of settling

tional Government in regard to fiscal
relations, Representative Louis c.

sum appropriation of approximately

1t was Representative Cramton who
last year upset the fiscal plan of a
definite proportional division of the
expenses of the Capital, which had
been in operation for more than half
A century, and during a legislative
lam succeeded in having the lump
sum plan substituted for the present

District residents have always felt
that they had a contract with the

The Senate has recognized this as
a just claim by the District and

and which would give the District
some $4,000. 900 or SO 600 600 in addi-

cause this new legislation was ruled
in order last year and agreed to in

the purpose of the proposed legisla-

1T has always seemed to me most
regrettable that the relations between
Congress and the public in the Dis
trict of Columbia SHOULD be upon so
unfriendly Il basis, The controversy
has largely conferred around the tiscai
relations, and of recent years has had
to do with this so-called surplus and
the failure of Congress to make
larger appropriations for District
purposes.

proposing lump-sum contribution
by the Federal Government to Dis
trlct expenditures, which, as en-
bodied in the last District of Co

for contribution of $4,000, 900 by Tue
Federal Government, all refunds and
repayments from District activities
to go to the Districts use The
