NEWSPAPER OF GREAT VALUE
 TO LIBRARIES
REFLECT MORE FULLY THE LIFE OF PEOPLE, IS VIEWPOINT
 CONGRESSIONAL LIBRARY

WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.-Lbrari- ans are committed to the preserva- 1 tion of files of newspapers as far as their resources permit, according to officials of the Congressional Li- brary, because the newspapers re- fleet more fully the life of the peo- pie.
 Frank B. Shuts, publisher of The Miami (Fla.) Herald, spent several days here on his way south and made a thorough investigation into the handling of newspapers at Am erica's largest library.
 Tt was interesting to know what importance the librarians attached to newspapers that would lead them to preserve newspapers so carefully all issues are kept at least a month," said MT. Shuts.
 T was surprised to learn that SIS newspapers are bound and perma- nently preserved. I was told by the chief of the Periodical Division that they receive S10 newspapers-about 300,000 issues annually Of these 507 are American dailies and 99 foreign, while 179 are weeklies published in this country, with 25 weekly editions from abroad
 T got the librarians viewpoint from H. H. B. Meyer, director of the Legislative Reference Service, who told me that there is much informa- ton in newspapers not found in books or periodicals-local informa- tion not as rule given in periodi- cals found they are particularly in- terested in interviews and details of opinions of prominent men which are given quite fully to newspapers, as we'll as current business, political and social events.
 ''The Legislative Reference Service of the library maintains collection of newspaper clippings on current social, political, economic, financial and historical questions for the use of committees and members of Con- gross. These clippings are pasted on standard sheets of manila paper and kept in regular letter files.
 "Mr. Meyer, I think, sounded the keynote when he said, Librarians are committed to the preservation of
 files of newspapers as far as their resources permit, because newspapers reflect more fully the life of the people,"

wholesome, full of fun, and to whom the world contains no evil: and. Robbie, her brother is typical Tar kington boy, seventeen, at the age where he takes himself and his clothes very seriously; while their mother, Eve Stanley, is a contented home-loving woman, colorless and conservative. Her husband, Peter Stanley, is of the roly-poly, self-sat- isfied type, conventional in the ex- treme, and who would view as a rad ical departure the changing of his brand of cigars.
 Stephen Winslow is a man-about- town, suave and charming, immacu- lately dressed, and the direct anti thesis of David, husband of San dra," who is simple, sport-loving, outdoor man, intensely devoted to his wife, and whose idea of a good time is fishing.
 Then, we have the Reverend Will fam J. Hapgood, serious-minded, sincere type of young minister, more interested in his work than he is in erecting a magnificent edifce as a tribute to his money-raising powers.
 In "Sandra," First National pie ture, these characters present a drama from the page of life, mov- ing about and always acting as hu- man beings adn not puppets of the screen.

call what ] said about amplifying
noises as well as the things you want
to hear. you'll tune in our present sta

Smith tried my plan, but was dis
appointed because he could not tune
clearer, and here it was necessary to
tell him to try shifting the tubes
around. Tubes that are poor as radio
amplifiers will sometimes work very
well as audio amplifiers. 1t pays TO
change around.

Preliminary tests to determine the
feasibility of operating a floating
broadcasting station on Lake Mich
igan during the Summer will begin
this week when a party of radio ex-
perts leaves Chicago harbor in a
power boat fitted out with special
electrical laboratory equipment for a
short cruise.
No attempt will be made on this
initial expedition to carry on exhaus-
tive experiments, although the boat
has been virtually converted into
floating laboratory with every facil-
ity for the work.
w. E. Newman, chief engineer OF
the Mohawk Electric Corporation
who is directing the expedition, sends
word to Washington that the. party
Is merely going to investigate the
practicability of a floating broadcast
ing station.
sIf the first test justifies further
research" said Mr.. Newman, 1--WE Will
undoubtedly make further tests be-
fore the Winter is over. There is a
great deal of theoretical material
available on the subject, but nothing
pra actical in the way OF a high-pow er
floating broadcasting station has
ever been attempted TO my knowl-
edge"
1t is the conviction of the Mohawk
officials that a floating broadcasting
station which could be moved 10
any point of vantage in Lake Mich
igan will aid greatly in solving the
problem of Summertime reception.

Radio I'm Poland.

Polish radio regulations have met
with disfavor from fans, manufac-
turers and dealers. due to their sever
ity and complexity. Recent advices
state dealers are forced to see off,
cial permits before they can sell COM
plete receiving sets, or loud speak
ers, but now sell parts freely. I'm
portation is discouraged, as the Poles
hope to establish a large home in
dustry. At present the one large pro-
ducer is seeking a monopoly.
Despite the regulations and handi-
caps, radio is becoming a craze. De-
mands are increasing for equipment
of foreign make, in spite of a high
sales tax of 20 per cent on imports.
Only Polish Is permitted on the air.
A new broadcaster is expected to
open this month, but as the wave
lengths to be used are not yet an
nounced, the types OF sets best
adapted to reception are unknown.
The band may be between $50 and
500. or 600 and 1000 meters. Broad
casters are held rigidly to regula-
tions, the number is limited in dis
tricts, and special concessions are
necessary. A fee of 100 zlotys per
year per kilowatt is required from
private broadcasters. Receiving set
licenses are granted only to citizens
of age, and fees are charged by the
government and the broadcasters.

No. 5--Getting Static.

Like the boastful little girl who
told her inquirers that If her father
could get Paris he certainly could get
static, Smith was boasting of lot of
reception that no one ever wants.
"Atmos ospherics," the technically mind
ed call II. "the noises Of space"
While the origin of true static is
still matter of opinion, being caused
by sun spots, miniature electrical
storms in the ether or some natural
process of this nature, IT Is known not
to have a definite wave length, and
thus cannot be tuned out of a receiv-
ing set at will. The noises put into
the air by humanity, such as that ere
ated by electric generators, street car
motors, etc, however, can be reduced
or eliminated by changing the posi-
tion of the set or by complaining
against companies responsible for the
interference.
Smith feared at first that all the
noise he heard one evening was due
to his tubes or his batteries. but by
disconnecting the aerial wire and
turning up his filament rheostats un-
til the customary frying" sound came
from the loud speaker he found that
the noise was mainly from the air.

lie somewhat WOTTled.
IF this were regular, do you sup
pose that millions would be buying

torted. There is good radio weather
and bad. Just happens that tonight
the air is full of noise. When this
happens, my advice to you is to save
your time and your batteries for
nights when the air is right. You

toring just because you aren't com
