homemade radio set until they hear
a bigger and better set at their neighbours.
It's much the same with tobacco. You
may think your present brand is the last

Albert, you don't know how good that
pipe can taste!
Among the biggest boosters this grand
old tobacco has are the converts who

OF good batteries. just through max
ing another mistake with this test.
Ut seems that when he touched the
terminals with the phone cord tips
he did not make tight contacts. Every
time the contacts slipped a little there
was an interruption in the current
flow, and, Of course, noise In the
earphones.
Makes Costly Mistake.
Another costly mistake he made
recently was in using voltmeter to
test the A battery. Smith uses a
good voltmeter and usually uses 1t in.
diligently, but this could not be said
OF him in connection with watching
over the A battery. He did not know
that a storage battery may be very
| much in need of charging, even
though a. voltmeter reading Of six
volts or Whereabouts can be obtained.
A storage battery should be tested
with hydrometer. since it is essen
tally a chemical battery and the spe.
cific gravity OF the solution In its
cells is directly related to its eff
cheney. AS q storage, or chemical,
battery discharges It's plates are really
going into solution, with the result
that the plates are inclined to buckle.
Most fans have been led to believe
that buclsling is a trouble confined
to overcharging.
When battery's specific gravity
registers 1900 or less 1t is reaching
a point where excessive chemical
action is beginning to shorten its life.
1t always takes very much longer
to charge a battery that is a little
under the safety point. One reason
why storage battery lasts so much
longer for a radio set than for an
automobile is that discharges and
charges are less extreme.
Judgment Not Good.
In making the loose connection
test" Smith does not always use good
Judgment. l caught him the other
day listening for clicks from the
loudspeaker when turning dials. one
at q time. There was no static, as
his neighbors had verified. The bat
.teries were delivering an uninterrupt-
ed flow of current. But he was MAX
ing the mistake Of testing with a
rheostat control. Al rheostat cannot
help but make a noise for its slider
breaks contact when changing its POI
sition.
Smith should have been testing for
scratching sounds from the loud
speaker by turning one variable con-
denser dial at a time. This would
have shown up any loose connections
at the condenser rotor or stator. In
making such d test the set should be
tuned to a local station, otherwise
noises might be due to interference
with stations near the same wave
length.

though permission to remove WRW
from Tarrytown to Yonkers has been

radio legislation, the department will
take no action, although the purchase
OF a. station to secure q wave length
Is not ordinarily sanctioned, and 1t

RADIO EXPORTS FROM Y. S.

Period D Year Ago.

American radio exports in May
totaied s443,9S1, compared with $577,-
ITO in May, 1926. the Department OF
Commerce announces.
Exports included $99,213 worth Of
Transmitting apparatus. 2.9D2 receive
iIlg sets valued at S87.642, 2T,5Op tubes
valued at $32.2s9. parts valued at
$l1S.534 and accessories valued at

A survey Of the electrical export
industry shows that during the past
four years American manufacturers
Of radio apparatus shipped out $22..
PSI 900 worth OF equipment, This was
distributed as follows: 1922. 81, S97, z 80;
1923, $3,448.112: 1924, 81, O30,914. and

NAVY Anfhorizes Nav Sets.

F1agships OF ali naval sea-going
units are soon to be equipped with
high-frequency or short-wave radio
apparatus, according to the program
of the Naval Communication Service.
Flagships Of the main squadrons will
be equipped with 5KW transmitters,
and those Of the minor units with "
XIV sets.
Experiments with 25O-watt short.
wave transmitters at land stations
and on some destroyers have proven
very successful for long-range work.
The Denver, while at africa, commu-
nicated successfully with the Finch,
which was on Asiatic station, and was
also heard In New Zealand. The
Memphis and Pittsburgh have been
authorized to conduct special COM
munication tests on 10 and 35 meters
with amateurs while cruising across
the Atlantic. Destroyers now going
abroad to relieve ships in European
waters are being fitted out with short
wave receivers, and authorized to
build 25O:watt transmitters. with
these measures In progress, the Navy
expects to materially improve COM
munications with European stations.
Other naval radio undermining
moves include the award Of contracts
for 10 500-watt and 10 2-KW tube
transmitters for installation at vari-
Gus radio stations on the Atlantic and
Pacific coasts. Three 100-Watt tube
transfnitters have also been ordered
for stations at Boston, Norfolk and
Mare Island. Al large tube set, has
just been assembled at San Diego: II
Is rated at gOKW. Recent transcon-
tinental tests showed clear reception
at washington.
The undermining of the Navy radio
shore and ship stations is expected I'd
improve communication all around
and TO decrease local interference con.
lsiderably.

No. 72-Tests That, Really Test.

no. 1S-TeStS Inat. hea4iy TEST
Being q firm believer In the value
OF fubjecting the receiving set to fire
quent and systematic tests isn't neces
sarily a safeguard against preventa
BILE radio, troubles. One OF the impor
tant points is to be sure the tests
test.
A little knowledge is dangerous
thing in radio set care, as Smith
soon discovered. He always had be
lieved in feeling the sets pulse, but
he was to learn that often the pulse
can be misunderstood.
The earphones' test is case In
point. With ordinary phones 1t is 9
simple matter to listen in on the
action Of the "B" batteries. The
noise that comes from the loudspeak
er along with the concert may have
its origin in these batteries. The bat
teries themselves do not make a noise
but they often do deliver current ir.
regularly, which, so far as the radio
owner is concerned, results in noise.
If a battery is in such a condition
the way to be sure Is to touch the
tips of the phone cords to its ter
minals and listen for the evidences
OF unsteady discharge which will be
registered as clicks.
The first time Smith tried this test
he forgot to pull the tips of the phone
cords out of the plug, trying to test
the batteries by touching one ter
minal at a time with the plug. OF
course he heard nothing at all be-
cause there was no circuit flowing
through the phones. Later, however,
he found that the tips of the phone
cords could be pulled out of the
phone plug and that to make the
test he must touch one tip to each
terminal Of the battery being con-
sidered.
Learning Slowly.
He was learning, but very slowly
Stumbling would be the better word.
Even with all these revisions of his
original plan he got no response from
the phones. When / investigated
found that he was touching the tips
of the two positive terminals of a
45-volt battery. which has a separate
plus terminal for those desiring to cut
in for only 22h volts.
"You need positive and negative
connections for a circuit" told him.
Next time you try that test touch
one tip of the phone cords to mega
tive post and the other to a posi-
tive. You have several batteries, so
be careful to confine your activities
to one battery at time, or to the
combined output of the batteries
when they are connected in SERIES.
In the latter case first see that the
batteries are wired together from
positive to negative or vice versa,
and that you touch the phones to the
free terminals, being careful to touch
one negative and one positive, and
not two positives."
Smith thought this was simple
enough. And yet he discarded set
