in the church under direction of the

which authorized ordination. and its
predecessor in 1920. which opened the
ministry to women, more than 90
women have taken their first ordina-

sarv to erect ones aerial not moro

broadcast aerial and parallel 10 it. 1t
would be safer, he points out, to use
a "watcr-Cooled" crystal, since. If it
handled enough power TO operate "a

come overheated. Another suggestion
is to use a sheet of asbestos instead
of an ordinary panel in the receiver.
A uper-charged" or "regenerative
catwhisker" is recommended where
excessive power is desired. to prevent
fire.
Lapsing into more serious discus

experiments show that with l0o

of the signal rectitied by a crystal is
only one.four r-hundredth of the power

ADAMLESS FARM
ADMITS HUSBANDS
British Woman Colony Finally
Decides Men Are Essential

By Gable to The Star and New York World
LONDON, August 21.--After an ex-
pertinent extending nearly six years.
a. party of British women who have
been running an Adamless farm
colony nave had TO admit that man
is almost essential for farm work.
and they have decided to admit males
provided that they are the hus-
bands of members. and that they
have no voice in the administration
of the colon.
This humiliating confession was
made by Mrs. Ruth Gentry, leading
spirit Of the Were Hill Colony. near
Lingfield, Sussex. Mrs. Gentry adj
mitted the theory that women could
suitably cultivate the soil without the
assistance of men had broken down
under experience. but she insisted
apart from this drawback the colony
was a success.
About 100 acres of farm land We're
purchased some six years ago by half
a dozen young women who did not
believe men were the only possible
tillers of the soil. Incorporating
under the title of the Women's Farm
and Garden Association. they estab-
lished a. colony of women with Il com
munal ideal. but independence of ac-
ton in everything save the right to

tenants of small holdings of from
three to five acres each.

Organize National Radio Club.

Work of organizing the National
Radio Club goes forward in Washing
ton, where it is explained that this or.
ganization is to be a club. Independent
of other affiliations, which in no way
will parallel the work of, or interfere
with, the activities of other radio
broadcast associations. The member.
ship will be chiefly made up of broad
casting stations, active and proposed
Commenting on the organization. a
representative said recently that the
first OF the IL managers had been Sc
lected. Russell Conklin of Spokane,
Wash, will represent the Northwest,
ern district. The other II are being
chosen from other quarters of the
country. so that representative
board of managers will be secured.
Mr.. Conklin is well informed on radio
matters. having, until recently. been
associated with Senator Dill of Wash
ington. the author of the Senate radio
bill. He is now planning to enter bust
ness in Spokane.
Although club quarters in the Ma
tion's Capital have not yet been Sc
lected, a broadcast studio with indi-
vidual booths will be included. to-
gether with a switchboard capable Of
connecting the miCrophoneS with
trunk telephone or telegraph lines to
distant stations. The idea is to have
facilities for broadcasting. through
either local or distant station. so
that a member may address his listen
ers directly from the Capital City.
Speeches or talks by members of Con
gress or other governmental officials
may be similarly transmitted when
ever they are desired by member
station.
A recent bulletin of the club states,
in part. as follows
This movement has no ulteriore mo-
tive: neither have the promoters any
thoughts Of paralleling the activities
of other organizations. 1t is a club
proposition, strictly and there can
seem to be no reason why stations,
now holding together as associations.
cannot. without prejudice. join to-
Gether into a club OF a national char
acter for the interchange of ideas and
social benefits.
1t ought to appeal as an added ad-
vantage when all. or nearly ALL sta
tionS become members. 1t will make
for a national thought and serve to
remove any notion of class as be-
tween common users of the air. 1t is

No. 78-About AmplificatiOn.

It is a common fallacy in radio TO
consider a transformer or an am
plfier tube as the "amplifier." and
Smith was one to share in misunder-
standing. The real amplifier is the
combination of transformer. tube,
socket. current, circuit and any con-
trolls. such as rheostats, which are
necessary to make the combination
harmonic.
The more accurate designation is:
A stage of amplification. These
stages can come before the detector
or after it. In the former they would
be stages of radio frequency ampli-
tication: in the latter they would be
the audio frequency variety.
Smith seemed to be laboring under
the impression that the purpose of
amplification was to increase the rate
of frequencies of the signal current
passing through the tuner and de-
tector.
"In amplifying, YOU simply are in
Creasing signal strength. or power"
I told him. THE frequencieS are not
altered by correct amplification. al
though they may he altered. and fire.
quently are, by poor transformers, the
wrong use of transformers, faulty cir
cunts, excessive voltage or 100 many
stages of amplification.'
I went on to remind him that the
only unit of the set to change fire.
quencies is the detector. Whether a
crystal or a. tube with it's current and
circuit. the detector alone can effect
material and desirable frequency
changes. 1t brings the high radio
freQuencieS down to the audible type.
No other unit in the set does such
work. The amplifiers simply make
the frequencies more pronounced
working on them while they are of
the radio type or the audio, depend
ing upon needs.
1t was plain to he seen that Smith s
mind was clogged with a question
that needed attention. I asked him
what it was.
Principle Of Ampliffcation.
"Amplitication, he replied. THE
general principle of it. 7 am begin
ming to see the details and | appre-
ciate now that a. transformer, or a
tube. or the batteries or anything
else alone could not increase signal
strength. ] also understand you per-
fectly when you explain that ampli-
6cation simply magnifies the ire

rent travelling the ether waves or of

RADIO GOSSIP. AND NEWS

Fans are still looking for the chaos
in the ether, but so far the only diff
Guilty seems to be in some of the GU
riOuS routes selected. Only four new
broadcaSters We're licensed to go on
the air by the Department of Com
merce during the past week. and five
older transmitters announced changes
of their broadcast channels.
There is, however. one difficulty not
apparent at the first glance, and that
is due to the unscientific methods used
by many broadcaSters and some of the
old ones in selecting their normal
channels. They are failing to pick
out standard frequencies or wave
lengths. 1t is something like trying
to run an automobile down an alley,
a gutter or across lots instead of fol
lowing an established traffic thor
oughfare. These careless broadcasters
interfere with traffic on the adjacent
ether channels and also on neighbor-
ing ones not 10 kilocycles distant.
AS has been pointed out in these
columns previously, the most sensible
method under the present system of
ether channel distribution would be
to make the selections in the kilocycle
column. letting the wave lengths in
meters be the equivalent, no matter
if it does result in an odd number of
meters. For example, 900 kilocycleS
is 299.S meters.
In last weeks list of broadca sters,
kGB% selects S62 kcs. or 341.S meters.
instead of $50 kcs. or 34S.6 meters.
The use of his channel will undoubt-
edly cause unnecessary interference
with stations WCBD and WIS. which
are only S kilocycles distant on $40,
and of course kGBX will interfere
with those stations on $50 llcs. SINH
larly WkBC selects l 1888 kcs instead
of the regular channel 1880 kcs.
which is only kcs. from stations
WBBM and WHO. KEPY has chosen
! .09s kcs., only . kilocycles from
13 stations on LOO kcS.. and only
from 26 other stations on 1000
kcs. the standard route.

yielded some startling results. In a

1T is startling to learn that the
addition of one pint of milk a day to
diet, which, by itself satisfies the ap-
petite Of growing boys, could convert
an average annual gain of weight of
1886 pounds per boy into one of Cos
pounds and annual average increase
of height from 1.S4 inches to 2.63
inches. This unmistakable better
ment in nutrition was proved to be
