RADIO RHYMES
RY RoRFRT 8. suTLlFFE

BY ROBERT 8. suTLiFFE
r WENT into a Radio store and
4 looked at sets and horns ga
lore, about two dozen kinds or
more-to make a start; told
the clerk I nothing knew bout
what TO BY or what TO do. TO get
good entertainment through the
Radio art. didn't want TO get
IN deep. just wanted something
sifnple-cheap. an outfit any one
could keep--no work for me:
some little thing to please the
folks, TO sing as songs and tell
us jokes, TO run with simple
turns and pokes--from troubles
free.
This is the place." the fellow
said, "don't be by any one mis-
led, for Radio outfits we're
ahead; we treat you white;
don't throw away your time and
cash. by foolIng with some sim
pie trash, get something good
and cut a dash. start going

naught bur toys. all right for lit-
tie girls and boys. who only want
TO get a noise from near at

perfect state, from Montauk
Point to Golden Gate you'll hear

They say there's one born
every minute. I fell and found
myself deep In It. went the
limit to begin II, with that set;
more than q hundred plunks !
paid to get reception OF high
grade. but a mechanician. I'm
afraid, I'll have to get.
There Is q moral in this telling
for those with minds on Radio

The most out OF the smallest amount
OF apparatus Ia the goal most SET
builders are striving for. applying par
ticularly to receiving sets that are In
tended for portable use. where space
and weight are important factors to be
considered.
The combination OF the reflex type
Of circuit and the newly perfected low
loss doughnut type of coll is ideal.
The reflex circuit Is especially deslr-
able for the saving Of tubes. and the
doughnut coils for their high efficiency
and low losses combined with the fact
that they may be placed at almost any
position In the receiver, consistent
with saving Of space. Ordinary coils
must be placed at critical szssles and
at a conservative distance from each
other. in order to minimize the mag
netic spraying effect from the ends
Of the cola
Advantages That Is important
The low loss doughnut coils pos
sess another advantage that is very
important IN radio frequency receivers.
Lew distributed capacity This Is
gained BY a peculiar winding construc.
tion used. where the wire is indented
at regular intervals, preventing adja-
cent wires from running parallel to
each other. This fact alone gives a
greater volume and tone quail
ity than is obtained with ordinary
layer wound coils.
The circuit described in this article
is similar to that OF a neutrodyne or
tuned radio frequency receiver with
the exception that three stages Of
radio frequency Zone refiexed), crystal
detector, and tive stages OF audlo fire.
quency Zone refiexed) Is obtained with |
only four tubes. No balancing or neu-
tralizIng condensers are necessary
when low loss doughnut coils are used /
FOR there will be no stray magnetic
ields to interact and cause the re-
,eiver TO break into oscillation.

Tipster On Crime
Turns Out Burglar With
Confession of Thefts

into account that 1t was just mid
night when a new patrolman came
on the beat.
The new patrolman, Charles
Schaefer. not having been advised
that all the law-breaking in jamaica
was being carried on in another
direction, walked past n cigar store
on Jamaica avenue and discovered
that the usual light was not burn
ing. Summoning n fellow officer, he
entered and found n man working
away at the safe in the rear.
The burglar attempted to flee. but
duoked Into n closet when the patrol
men opened fire. And there, the
patrolmen found their old friend,
Honest Bill'' Shepard, model citi-
zen. husband and workman. Be-
meath the ample folds of his blue
Inspectors coat, securely tucked in
n rubber belt, they say they found
n whole kit of safe cracking tools.
In the pockets OF his nently pressed
blue trousers, they claim to have
found $40 which Shepard had taken
from tho cash register.
There was great commotion at
the station house when Shepard was
led In to face his friends of the
force as the most mystifying burg
lar jamaica had had in months.
There was equally great connection
at Shepard's home when Mrs. Shop.
ard was told her model husband had
been n burglar. There was almost
as great commotion at the Il. NJ. T.
inspectors office.
"Dr. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde"
chorused the police psychologists of
jamaica.
"saps." commented a professor at
the police school.
But he was not talking OF Shepard.

held In allegiance, pending the re-
port, during March Is, of the en-
cheering firm of Coverdale and Col
pitts, which is making an ~independ-
ent physical examination of the
property, President H. E. Byram
announced today on his arrival from
Chicago.
While declining to make any pre-
dictions of the form OF the refund
ing program, undoubtedly one Of the
biggest railroad financial problems
that has confronted bankers in re-
cent years, Mr.. Byrnm declared that
he was very well pleased with the
condition of the property as he saw
1t on his recent trip over the sys-
tenn with the engineers.
Mr.. Byram is optimistic over the
earnings outlook for his road. The
January report. which will make its
appearance in n day or two, will
show n good gain in net over last
year. February, 1924. was the best
of February on record. he said. and
this February's gross business will
not equal It, but there has been a
substantial saving in operating ex-
penses this year, which will permit
n favorable comparison in net earn
ings.
