that the audio transformers tf mis-
set cause less distortion with certain
frequencies. This is common to
audio amplifying layouts when trans
former coupled, but few radio oper-
ators take the trouble to study their
sets to find out what freuuencies
record best. Sometimes Just a slight
difference in frequencies will result
in wide difference in tone.
Smith also explained that with his
set some Of the extremes il musical
vibrations were lost in reception
which meant some Of the high violin
notes and some OF the low notes uf
the saXaphone or base violin were
nearly lost. Newer sets claim 70

JUSTICE PRAISES
TENNYSON POETRY
Stafford Also Says Present Vera

Tennyson in speaking Thursday night

Arts at Central High School Audito.
rum.
Justice Stafford, himself the author
of several volumes of verse, said after
quoting from Ulysses" one of the
best known works of the former poet
laureate of Great Britain; II consider
the piece from which these lines were
taken worth more than all the poetry
written in the past % years
The work of James Russell Lowell
also was praised, and his poem. "The
Present Crisis" written as Lowell's S
contribution to anti-slavery literature,
was held up a model of blank verse.
Most of our present day poetry is but
the tinkling of piano strings" the
speaker said. when compared to that
trumpet blast of LoWelIS."
Attempted modern deviationS from
the standard forms of Verse We're Sc
vereIy criticized. "Lawlessness has no
place in poems," Justice Stafford de-
clared. The first poets knew as much
about the fundamentals of poetry as
we do. From the fundamental laws
we cannot depart without making our
selves ridiculous"
Although admitting that there is .
certain amount of so-called free Verse
that is its own justification. Justice
Stafford announced his belief and hope
that the poets of the day are return
ing more and more 10 the established
forms.
In answer TO the question. What is
a pCem?" announced as the subject of
his talk. the speaker quoted Millions
descriptive phrase, Poetry is simple,
sensuous and passionate" and Illus
trated with readings from the leading
British and American poets of the last
century. His selections included Kip

SECOND RADIO CONCERT

Tomorrow.

\ second radio concert by the TOu-
torSky Russian String Quartet. which
made it's debut on the air from the
Homer l.. Kit studios recently, will be
broadcast by station WRC tomorrow
afternoon. beginning at 5 o'clock. The
program for the concert will be com
posed almost entirely of Russian folk
and gypsy songs. of which Basil TOu
torsky, violinist, and conductor of the
orchestra. has made extensive collec-
tions. Arrangements for many of
these old melodies have been made by
Mr. Toutorsky.
Toutorsky, who recently arrived in
the United States. received his early
musical education in Russia under the
Italian master, Stegli. of the Milan
Conservatory. He is a member of one
of Russia's oldest titled families and
is a graduate of the Imperial Lycee.
During the World War. he was an Of
fer Of the Imperial Russian Navy,
serving as flag lieutenant on the staff
of the commander-in in-chief of the Black
Sea fleet and later was associated with
the procurator general of the army
and navy.

ders. My ankles felt cold. The street
lights sparkled. 1t occurred to me
that the weather had turned OH clear
and crisp and that it would be gooo
for radio reception"
That was the truth. Out OF simple
observations and deductions Smith had
been learning to get more from ms
radio set Other less experienced
radio owners would not have bothered
to touch the set again after the poor
results Of the early evening.
New Angles Develop.
Even as he entertained us by tun-
ing in for the best dance orchestras
on the air he was revealing new
angles to his radio sense. Just one
of the things was the comment ne
made when an unfamiliar noise ac-
companied reception from a not too
distinct station. =,
They've been cleaning the house,
he said. There's dust between the
plates of the condensers."
In q few minutes he had busted
off the plates with a special soft
brush. Obviously. it was radio sense
that prevented him from making the
error of blowing off the dust.
At one point during the 1mpronptu
dance that followed Smith came upon
two stations so close together that ne
could get both at once. That, or
course. didn't satisfy the dancers, so
he was forced to make selection
For a moment he listened to the two,
but suddenly swung first into one ana
then the other.
That's a good tune. some one
said. Give us that one
1T isn't a question of tunes. but
of tones" Smith said, dialing for the
other orchestra.
This went over the others heads,
but somehow the matter interes ted
me. How did he know that one or
chestra would be better than the
other? Smith. incidentally, is no
cunnoiSseur on music.

RADIO GOSSIP AND NEWS

The advent of radio into the world
of science, and more Immediately into
the realm of the home, has literally
put "sQusic in the air and has awak-
ened the layman to an acute curiosity
as to how this is done.
Comparatively few persons. how
ever, realize the amount OF research
and experimental work that is con
stantly being carried on in broadcast
ing studios throughout the country
for the main purpose OF perfecting the
art of broadcasting and thus aiding.
as much as possible. the reception of
various features on home receiving
sets
Take the organ. for instance. This
instrument, though most enjoyable
one to the ma jority OF music lovers. is
the most difficult TO reproduce faith
fully over the air. The chief reason
is that. unlike most instruments, the
organ is really a battery of instru-
ments, and unless proper attention is
given to this combination of organ
tones they will not do themselves jus
tice. and are apt to be mediocre and
unsatisfactory when recorded on a
purely mechanical device such as the
microphone.
When Baltimore's Super-Dower sta
ton WBAL recently added 10 its pro
gram a semi-weekly organ recital, its
organist and those in direct charge of
broadcasting this particular feature
were confronted with these facts, and
Immediately set about to correct them
in order to provide as perfect repro
duction as was physically possible.
The logical and most practical means
to remedy such defects. ii was found.
was to exclude from the ears OF the
organiSt the direct sounds of the or
gan and let him hear instead the prod
uct of his efforts as recorded on the
microphone and through the ampli-
tierS.
The most effective way to achieve
this, its seems. Is to have the organ
ist wear ear phones or an aviator s
helmet while broadcasting. And SC
Frederick d. Weaver, WBAL's staff
organist, was provided with a set OF
head phones which he wears every
time he puts the stations organ on
the air.
The tones sound through the ear
phones the instant the keys are
struck. more promptly in fact, than
they sound when the phones are not
used. since the console is 80 or 40
feet away from the organ pipes and
the performer can notice d perceptib!e
lag in tones reaching the ear. The
headphones also eliminate all echoes
this was demonstrated by striking a
chord on the full organ, then taking
the ear phones off and hearing the
chord again from the hall.
1t has been found that certain organ
tones register better than others OF
even greater power; consequently
when broadcasting. the organ is
played in an entirely different man
ner than in ordinary recital Certain
pedal tones cannot be used at al
when brOadca sting

No. 53-DevelOping Radio Sense.

Whether or not he appreciates it,
Smith is beginning to develop a radio
sense. He goes about his radio recep-
ton in an entirely new and decidedly
better way.
Some persons have what Broadway
calls "show sense" They can ap-
praise a new play regardless of the
first might audiences reaction to 1t.
Among automobile drivers there are
those with automobile sense" These
are the ones who can tell when an
other car is trying to pass even II
they do not see it in the rear view
mirror or If no horn warning is given
They feel their way about, almost in
stinctively.
Similarly, Smith is training himself
to handle his radio set so that he
seems to do things instinctively. Only
the other evening he jumped UP from
the bridge table and going over to the
set tuned in for a distant, station
which he obtained without the slight
est effort.
How did you know you could get
WFAR?" I asked. Early this eve
ming reception was generally poor"
Instinct, I guess" he replied 60
ing ahead tuning in for another dis
tant station. which he obtained with
little effort.
Secret Revealed.
Hold on! That's something worth
looking into" l suggested Radio is
entirely too new a subject to be an
instructive matter. This faith in your
set at this particular moment is the
result of investigation and practice.
Come now, tell us the secret
