STUDIES WEATHER
FORECAST BY RADIO
Professor Explains Effect of
Atmospheric Conditions
on Reception.

Studies Of the effect of weather con-
ditions on radio reception, by which
1t may soon be possible to forecast the
weather by noting the clarity with
which programs from near and distant
stations come in, We're described to
the American Association for the Ad-
vancement Of Science at Kansas City
by Prof. j. G. Jensen, professor of
physics at Nebraska Wesleyan Uni
yersity.
Prof. Jensen, who is also engineer
in-charge Of radio station WCAJ, has
been studying the relations of wireless
ana weather for nearly 10 years.
Actual reception" he stated, de
pends not only on the signal strength,
but also on the ratio Of signal to
static. When the strength of static
interference begins to approximate the
signal strength reception becomes I'M
practicable Static noises are known
TO vary from day to day and have
been shown to be worst on the ap.
proach of a storm area When the
storm has passed, the high area which
follows is characterized by settled
weather in which 'atmospherics' are
largely absent
Some Of the conclusions which have
been reached as a result of this work
are as follows:
Reception is best when the broad
casting station and the receiving set
are within the same area of high at

SAUNDERS AT PEACE
WITH PIGGLY WIGGLY
Settlement Satisfactory to Both
Sides in Controversy Announced
by Attorneys.
By the Associated Press.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. January .
Peace reigns today between the Piggly
Wiggly Corporation and Clarence
Saunders, who. for the past two years,
have waged a legal war in many
courts. State and Federal, and both
sides are claiming a victory.
In the settlement announced by at
torneys for both sides Clarence Saun-
ders, former head of the Piggy Wig
gly Corporation and who led the IA
nous fight against shorts" in Piggy
Wiggly stock in Wall Street, is to pay
the corporation $150,00O within two
years. The corporation will waive all
claims against Mr.. Saunders. and he,
in turn, will drop litigation against the
The terms of the agree
ment call for a $4,000 payment by
Mr.. Saunders within go days, and
other payments will be at stated in
tervals.
In the settlement Saunders saves the
difference between s150,000 and the
$201. 900 allowed the corporation
against Saunders in a recent Federal
court ruling.
Suit filed by E. A. Guilfoyle, stock
holder in the Piggly Wiggly Corpora
ton against the directors Of the cor
asking $2.500,000 from them
on the ground that they were liable
with Saunders for losses alleged to
have been incurred in Wall Street
was dismissed yesterday
in Chancery Court under a recent de-
cree. This was regarded as a victory
for the corporation, as the decree will
serve as a bar against similar suits in
the future.

SCHOOLS ABANDON
TEACHING BY RADIO
Only a Few Find Success in
Wireless Education Field
in United States.

OF all the varied interests that have
turned to broadcasting in the past
three years the schools and universi-
ties, with a few notable exceptions,
have found radio endeavor unsuccess-
full.
In the past year more than so of
the broadcasting high schools and
universities have turned in their lic-
snses to the Department of Commerce.
Twelve Of them were among the %
stations deleted from the list during
December.
The great expense of maintaining
stations and the failure to carry out
effective broadcasting on the low
wave lengths and low power, were re-
sponsible for the gradual surrender
ing Of licenses by these educational
institutions.
Some Have Success.
On the other hand, some universi.
ties and schools have discovered that
educational broadcasting can be con-
Quoted successfully in cooperation
with long established, high-powered
stations.
The twelve educational stations
which surrendered their licenses last
month were:

THE THEORY AND PRACTICE OF
TUNING. PART /.

1t Is difficult for the lay mind not
acquainted with the theory Of alter
mating current action to grasp the
action of "A radio frequency circuit
when tuning to a particular wave
length or frequency and tuning out
all others.
The best way to explain the action
that takes place is by means of an
analogy to an action in common life
that isRyery easy to understand. Most
of us have seen sieves or separators
of val1otis kinds and action. Some of
them are used to sort out rocks of diff
ferent sizes into separate piles or bins;
others are used to sort out or separate
fruits, such as apples, peaches, lem
ons. etc. into different piles or bins,
according to size. The object in each
case is to divide a Heterogeneous mass
Of objects of different sizes into sew
eral piles of objects of similar size.
In it's simplest form sieve is
container whose bottom is bored or
drilled with holes. The sizes of the
holes depend on the size OF the OBJ
iects which 1t is desired to separate
from the rest.
Evening star., 1926-01-05
OOOz09q2 , 70

Suppose that we have mass of OBJ
jects Of different sizes, as shown In
the diagram. These range In size
from the largest, shown at "A, to the
smallest, shown at "E." In TINS par
ticular case We want to sort out the
"C'' size from all the others. Th@
sizes shown in the diagram merely
show the approximate range OF nFe
sizes. There are actually thousanoS
in the pile, so that hand sorting
would be out of the question. A sim
ple way of sorting out the size
from all the others would be to make
two sorting sieves. The first sieve
should be drilled with holes that are
slightly larger than the &C. size so
that all objects of size C ana small
er will pass through. The holes
should be small enough to keep out
all objects larger than &C, so that
objects of sizes "a and "B" would
not be allowed TO pass through the
mesh of the sieve.
The next step is TO use sieve
whose holes or mesh is such as TO
stop the objects of size &C. from pass
ing through, but which Will permit
all those that are smaller to drop
through.
These two operations serve to sep
arate the required sizes from the
larger and smaller sizes.
While the action of the two sieVes
is not exactly the same mechanically
with the action that takes place In
an electrical high-frequency circuit
when tuning in signal, IL Is similar
enough TO serve for purposes of Illus
tration.
If the two sieves are properly de-
signed-that is. when the first sieve
Is just slightly larger than the de-
sired size and the second sieve Is just
slightly smaller than the required
size-only objects of the size desired
will be held in the second container,
the larger sizes being excluded in the
first operation and the smaller ones
being excluded in the second opera
ton. If. however. the holes in the
first sieve are much larger than the
desired size and those in the second
sieve are much smaller than the de
sired size, the second container will
hold widely varying sizes.
In a we'll designed circuit the same
thing holds true. If the circuit is
properly designed it will permit only
a single station to be tuned in at a
time and will exclude all other sig

mosphere or pressure, or when the
weather conditions are settled.
Good reception may occur when the
transmission is from a high pressure
area into an adjoining low-pressure
area, or vice versa; but when It takes
place across a low pressure area so
as to extend through it to a high on
the opposite side low audibility oc-
ours.
Static disturbance is most trouble
some when the low-pressure area of an
approaching storm is to the north
west
Fading is more troublesome at night
than In the day, and IS most severe
when there is little difference in atmos-
pheric pressure in different parts of
the country. a condition which accom-
panies unsettled weather.
Prof. Jensen pointed out that these
conclusions are only preliminary and
require further study, but to test
them, he has been issuing a daily
forecast of radio conditions from his
station, and that the success of these
has been very encoura ging.
