ADVENTURES OF A BROADCASTER

BY FREDERIC WILLIAM FILE,
RadiOscyibe.

Somebody signing himself &. Wood
Arthur. and apparently writing from
the Hotel Driscoll. dislikes my recent
discussions of Senate procedure. Here
is letter from him:
A group of citizens Of Washing
ton gave their time and attention
to The Political Situation in Wash
inEton Tonight" this last week.
with the thought that something of
value might come To them, but
were glad to know that the time
spent was of a very few moments
duration.
Your criticism Of public matters
seems to be that of an egotis rather
than q statesman. hence loses It's
value to the listeners. When man
forgets that the human race does
not depend upon him for its wis
dom alone. and that the world has
few patriotic souls besides him.
self he becomes as sounding brass
and tinkling cymbals."
Your criticism of the Senate of
the United States in your attempt
to be humorous not only insults
the States represented by the Sena-
tors, but does not trend to patriot
ism.
A clear-thinking man does not
have to use sarcasm or ridicule to
convince the public, nor is it good
criterion that to be wise one has to
assume the language of a clown.
The time may come when Amer
lea needs some one to think for the
people and discuss matters of
craftsmanship. at which time you
might make application with sue
cess. but as long as States elect
their Senators it is pretty wise to
believe that they intrust their af-
fairs to them and are satisfied to
let them think out what is needful
and in it's own way.
OF course, we are all aware that
many things are necessary to boil
ster up the weaknesses of the pres
ent administration, and 1t may even
be necessary to employ a Charlie
Chaplin to amuse. II so. please
take the cap and bells and enter
tain the court that likes 1t.
Perchance they would appreciate
your views more than the radio
listeners.
Yours for better entertainment.

Inductance Appliances.

Few fans realize the Importance of
inductanCe in other fields besides
radio. Without inductance effects
radio would he impossible. Without
it some Of the most ingenious cleo
trical appliances would also be i'm
possible.
Inductance effects have been applied
&c the solution Of many problems.
There is one particular effect that
helieve will be of particular interest.
Most fans have an idea as to the
method used to produce the gradually
changing light effects in theaters and
other places where it Is desired to in
crease or decrea Sc the light gradually.
Current In Tube.
The average fan who has seen the
light in his vacuum tubes increase
and decrease gradually as he manipu-
lated the rheostat controls of the
tubes knows that an adjustment of
the resistance in series with the fila
ment of his tubes causes the change
in voltage and current which produces
the heating effect on the filament that
results in light. The greater the
voltage applied to the filament termi-
nails, the brighter will be the light.
While the light itself has nothing to
do with the actual operation of the
tube. the difference in the brilliancy
of the light is the first thing that is
noticed by the radio fan.
Another method that would suggest
itself for dimming lights would be to
connect lamps in series. BY connect
ing lamps in series the voltage applied
to the terminals of the lamp would be
reduced but this method would not
dim the lamps gradually.
Method Used in Theater.
A very ingenious method of dim
ming lamps gradually is used in one
form of theater light DINNER. A coil
of wire of low resistance is connected
in series in the lighting circuit. Alter
mating current is used as the lighting
source. The effect OF inducta nee in
Ian alternating currfnt circuit is to

The proposed survey this year will comprise from seven to ten thousand square miles. They will run the line along the di- vide near the Noatak River; thence Northward along the basin of the Utukok and Eastward to the Meade River If q suitable route is found. Gerald Fitzgerald is topographi- cal engineer and geologist.
 The party will travel by way of the Alaska Railroad to Nenana and rom there to Kotzebue. the last point of Civilization, by dog team. They will outht at Kotze5ue for five pr six months in the wilderness, md return to the states in Septem- Der via Nome.
