tons-Many Little EIimn

In an effort to give the radio fan a
set that will do almost everything that
can reasonably be asked, Capt. II. II.
Kramm, of Woodlynne, N. j., has de-
signed a fiye-tube radio-frequency set
that, from all indications, has every
other set of its size backed off the
map. All the principal tuning is done
with one dial, and 1t truly can be
called One-dial set There are many
they have lot of little knobs that
all figure largely in the tuning With
Captain Kramm's set the tuning Is
done with one dial On the distant
stations there are two verniers on the
condenser that enable the listener-in
to clear up the sounds.
The set is extremely sharp, and Cap
tain Kramm says that at his labora-
tory at Woodlynne, three miles by al:
line from Station WILT, he was able
to tune in WTAM, Cleveland, 395
meters, and WHAS, Louisville, 400
meters, and completely cut out the
powerful local station. When WOO
is on the air he can cut Nout this
station and get VINO, Memphis, which
operates at 500 meters.
One of the things that will interest
the fan who desires to build his own
set is that Captain Kramm has been
getting tie Pacific Coast consistently
during the summer. He has had XII,
KIM, both of Los Angeles; CKCK,
Regina, and KGO, Oakland, Calf He
has also tuned In Honolulu (KYQ),
a number of times. The fan must
ton around 10 or IL o'clock at night,
as there is difference of five and one
half hours between Philadelphia and
Honolulu.
The last time Captain Kramm tuned
in this station he had them on the air
for about one hour. 1t was about 5
o'clock our time when he tuned in
Honolulu. He got AZ distant stations
in two nights.
Readings Can Be Celebrated.
Another important feature about
this set is that the dial readings can
be calibrated. The only thing that
will necessitate change in the. num-
bers logged is the use of another
antenna.
The condenser used is special
type, just being put on the market.
1t is three condensers In one, with
two verniers. The rotor plates are on
the main shaft and all move at one
time. The vernier on one side moves

1000 Homeless in Shreveport
Fire In Which Six Are Injured

Shreveport, La.-Nine city blocks
embracing more than ESQ dwellings in

were leveled here by a fire which
broke out shortly after some mighty
force had wrecked the city water
mains in three places. Property loss
was estimated at upwards of 100000
exclusive of losses by public utilities.
Three blocks of the fire swept area
were occupied by homes of the moder-
ately welltodo persons, while the re-
naming six blocks, which extended up
to the business district, housed poorer
persons and Negroes. Six persons
were injured, two seriously.

Ford Company Finds Glass Sand
at Own Plant in Twin Cities

st. Paul-Silica sand, the basic ma
terial for windshield glass, sought
throughout Minnesota by the Ford Mo
tor company, has been found in large
deposits directly underneath the
Ford plant at the high dam, where a
glass manufacturing plant now is be-
ing erected. All along the river, on
both sides of the plant, are sand de-
posits which can be used for making
glass, and already silica sand taken
from Ford property near the plant has
been used at one of the company's
eastern plants to make glass "of excel
lent quality" S. A. Stellwagen, general
manager of the Twin City plant, said.

The coils are of the duo-lateral
type. This Is absolutely necessary, as
CAPTAIN Kramm has used other types
of windings and found the results not
as good as when the duo-lateril wind
ings were used The lest thing the
average set builder can do is to buy
three 75-turn duo-lateral coils on 2B-
inch forms. Take 10 turns Oft each
coil, part of which is to be used for
the primary winding. The GO turT-s
remaining on the coil form the secon-
Diary. Cover the secondary With two
layers of vanished cambria, and then
add the necessary number of turns
to form the primary windings, as
shown in the diagram prepared by
Captain Kramm.
The base board is II inches long,
81a inches deep, and all the parts are
TO be mounted on the top of the board.
No subbase is used.
List of Parts Needed.
The parts needed for the construc-
ton of this set, excepting tubes, which
should be the 201A or 301A, batteries
and loud speaker, are as follows:
/ Scientific compensated multiple
condenser.
Scientific sockets.
/ Bradley leak.
/ Bradley condenser, .0002S.
l 6-ohm rheostat.
/ 2-Ohm register.
! 2OO,0OO-ohm DIX register.
/ O.5 n. Y. coil condenser.
l OOPS n. Y. coil condenser.
/ Solderless single jack.
/ Do: gan transformer 6 to l.
/ Dongan transformer 31a to 1.
Binding posts.
/ Panel 10 by inches.
10 Lengths celacite.
l frequency coil, 60 turns
secondary, 16 turns primary.
Radio-frequency coils, 60 turns
secondary, s turns primary.
The parts above are those used by
Captain Kramm. He states that other
makes can be used efficiently in most
instances, but that it is absolutely
necessary that the set builder fol-
low the specifications as to the num-
Der of turns on coils and the size Of
transformers and fixed condensers
and resistors to get the desired re-

The Loop Antenna

To get good results out of loop an
tenna, set should be used that is de-
signed especially for this purpose.
Such receiver contains from one to
three more stages of radio-frequency
application. For loud-speaker ope-
ration at least four or five tubes should
be used, unless the receiver is of the
reflex variety in which the tubes do
double duty.

There was no explosion. The big
