Summer Is Best Time to
Improve Radio Athena

This Is the best period Of the year
in which to make improvements In the
antenna system-for the purpose of
getting good results throughout the
summer and lettering your usual rec
ords in the fall and winter when
the signals from distant points are
stronger.
Why not try shifting the direction
of the aerial just to compare results?
Sometimes this change makes quite a
difference-and the comparison Of re-
suits will be very interesting, states
the service department of the Freed
Eisemann Radio corporation.
When you are overhauling your an
tenna system, be sure to clean of the
insulator. This past winter, with its
clouds Of soft coal smoke, was a most
severe one. The CRIME with which
your ,insulators are fairly sure to be
covered fs a 'high-resistance conductor
Of electrical currents, consisting es-
sentially of carbon. This means that
some current at least is leaking across
the insulators If they are dirty. If
this is the case, and 1t probably is,
your antenna system cannot approach
it's normal efficiency, because some Of
the energy which it absorbs Is being
carried away from 1t to the antenna
support and 50 leaking into the ground
instead Of travelling down the lead-in
wire to your set.
f you are using insulators Of fber
with an unpublished surface. the SCOT
and CRIME may have become SO i'm
bedded in the surface that it would
be almost impossible to properly clean
off. In this case you will avoid fur
ther loss Of efficiency by replacing the
present insulaters with glass ones or
with porcelain ones. which have q
highly glazed surface. Insulators Of
this kind not only refuse to absorb
dirt and moisture, bat they are also
mach easier to clean. Soap and wa

are attached. Some Of these disturb
ances will be of the nature Of a mere
thundershOwer while others will be
intense thunderstorms.
"Even after the passing Of the
storm, static will exist as long as the
electric influence Of the central low
Is felt. The most severe of all thun-
derstorms occur south or southeast of
central low air pressure area along
a line or front of great mass of
cooler and drier air which Is slowly
descending from the upper atmos-
-phere and undermining or lifting up
the warmer and holster air ahead of
it.
Lightning Affects Set.
"Much static predominates, not
only from the central low area itself,
but from the mechanical action of the
vigorous air currents. Lightning as
ISOLATED with such storms is very Sc
we're and spreads out over a large
area, affecting radio receivers over
many miles, often over a whole state
or more. Thunderstorms occur In
nearly all parts of the world, but the
number decreases rapidly as we pass
from the equator toward the pole. In
the tropics, there are many places
that average a thunderstorm for near
ly every day Of the year, while in the
Far North but one or two storms may
occur in the course of several years.
Eovvar storms occur over tho ocean
than over land, and mountainous re-
gions have far more than the level
plains. In the United States, the
largest number occur over the Gulf
states. In New England there occur
but approximately one-fourth OF the
thunderstorms experienced along the
. gulf, while at certain Pacific coast
sections the proportion is very small
as such storms are rare"

1T Is not the sound of thunder that
Is heard In the radio set, but the &C.
tual wave that 10 propagated by the
electric spark, or lightning FASH" says
B. Francis Dashiell, writing in the
Radio Broadcast Magazine. Thunder
is merely the sound Of the air as it
PUSHES in to I'LL the space or vacuum
made by the passing Of the spark.
Such q wave will be heard simultane-
ously with the visibility of the fash,

725,OO0 meters, or $4,000 miles per
second, while sound travels but ap-
proximately 1000 feet per second.
There are certain regions which pro-
duce more thunderstorms than 9TH
ers, and there are certain weather
conditions, as shown by the daily
weather map, favorable to the incep-
ton Of thunderstorms. Purely local
storms Of a sporadic character may
be caused by local regions Of warm
air within a high air pressure area
and predominating clear sky. These
give rise to local static only, last but
a short time, and seldom cross over
much territory.
Have Much Static.
"There are thunderstorms which oa-
cur chiefly in the regions Of southerly
winds, either to the southeast or
northeast Of a low air pressure area,
probably caused by local typographical
conditions and consequent upward de-
Election Of the warm surface winds,
all Of which stimulate the formation
Of large cumulus clouds. These
storms have considerable static asso-
ciated with them, not entirely due to
the storm itself, but also to the me-
neurological elements Of the central

Attach Adapter for

There are many thousands Of super
heterodyne receivers In use, but prac-
tically all Of them have been,bu for
the reception Of wave-lengths between
200 and $50 meters. Some Of the large
eastern stations are now transmitting
regularly on the very low wave-lengths,
and very often these stations can be
picked up on the low waves when it is
impossible to hear them on the regu-
lar wave-lengths.
The adapter shown is very simple
and can be wound on the form Of an

When connected in series resistors
always add up their respective values.
even If they are different. When con-
neeted in parallel the total resistance
Of the group is equal to the reciprocal
of the sam Of the reciprocals Of the

To Fight Teaching
of Evolution at

Minneapolis, March 3.-lP)--De-
MED permission to speak against
evolution at the University Of Min
nesota today, the Rev. w. b. Riley,
Baptist minister and nationally
known anti-cvolutionist debatcr. will
fight the teaching Of evolution at
the University.
The Rev. Mr.. Riley made this
known after he had been notified by
F. J. Kelly, dean of administration,
that his lecture engagement at the
university, scheduled for today, had
been cancelled.
Dean Kelly said the Rev. Mr.. Riley
had accepted one subject for his talk
and then advertised he would speak
on another. DR.. Riley denied, how
ever. that he had been informed that
he was to speak on any other subject
than that of "Should the teaching of
evolution be longer tolerated in this
state university" The topic Dean
Kelly said was accepted was "Thc
fallacy Of the theory of evolution"
DR.. Riley said that evolution was
being taught to students four or five
hours day, "yct the fundamental
lists are denied a hearing" He indi-
Gated that passage Of an anti-cvolu-
Zionist law would be sought in the
next state legislature.

TRANSPORTATION PHASE OF NICKEL.
PLATE MERGER APPROVED BUT THE
FINANCIAL PHASES WERE OPPOSED

railroad mergers, other than those
indirectly tied up with the proposed
Nickel Plate construction, will not
be deferred by the adverse decision
Of the interstate commerce commits
sion against the Van Swcringcns'
projected combinations, their spoa-
sors asserted today.
Plans which already are well ad-
vanced for the new Loree system in
the southwest, embracing the kansas
CITY Southern, Missouri Kansas
Texas and st. Louis Southwestern
railroads, and another for linking
the st. Louis-San Francisco and Rock
Island lines will be carried forward
as rapidly as possible. Other sug-
gested mergers in the south and east,
which are in a more tentative stage,
also will proceed along lines original
ly contemplated.
Welcoming the Nickel Plate deci-
sion as clearing the atmosphere sur
rounding the general construction
problem, railroad and banking inter-
ests, apart from the Van Sweringen
group, said that the commissions
ruling would guide rather than hin
der them in formulating their own
merger plans.
At the same time evidence accumu-
lated in Wall Street that new fin
ancial structure for the proposed
Nickel Plate unification would rise
upon the ruins Of the plan rejected
by the interstate commerce commits
sion.
