Radio Fundamentals for the Layman
Part iii.

The first step in a radio program Is
the production OF the voice or instru-
mental selection at the broadcasting
station studio. The sound waves cause
a vibration of the diaphragm of the
microphone and this vibration Of the
diaphragm produces a variation of the
current flowing in the circuit into
which the microphone Is connected.
This current is not suitable Tor
TRANSMISSION through the ether. The
carrier wave OF high frequency suit.
able for such transmission is produced
by special unit designed to generate
highfreQuency currents. and the voice
freuuencies produced in the micro
phone circuits are superimposed on
the high frequency currents in what
might be termed a mixing box The
process of molding the hign-frequenc%
current with the voice currents is
called the process of incubation.
The current then has the high fire.
uuency characteristics necessary tn
transmit it through space plus the
voice current characteristics that will
make 1t possible to reproduce the voice
or music at the receiving end.
1t really corresponds to the courier
on horseback The courier actually
receives and delivers the spoken mes
piece.
Control System Used.
Considerable power must be used to
send the message through the ether.

A TRICK REFERENDUM AND WHAT CAME OF IT

The referendum submitted by tho vets
and ultimately placed on the ballot, was
analysed by the Anti-Saloon League in =
circular which read as follows:
Should the Congress of the United
States modify the federal act to enforce
the Eighteenth Amendment to the Con-
stitution of the United States so that the
same shall not prohibit the manufacture,
sale, transportation, importation, or cx-
portation of beverages which are not in
fact intoxicating, as determined in ac-
cordance with the laws of the respective
states"
COPIED from Daily press Of Septem-
Der /, 1920
This so-called Brennan Referendum
provides that the alcoholic content of per-
United liquors shall be determined accord
ing to the laws of the several states.
Such a proposal is an evasion of the
Constitution. It does not refer to the
Eighteenth Amendment at all. It only
suggests an improper method of modify
ing the Volstcad Act On this you are re-
quested to vote.
Furthermore, on account of the inter-
rogative form in which this amendment is
drawn, "No" vote does not give man
date TO Congress OF to its members, to do
anything. 1t does not even forbid them
to modify the Volstead Act. 1t only neg
atives this particular proposal.
To vote Yes" on such a referendum
would be to vote for a thing that cannot
be done To vote "No" will not neces-
sari1y mean that the voter is dry. 1t would
only mean that he was not in favor of
trying to modify the Volstead Act that
way. IN NO SENSE OF THE WORD,
DOES IT AFFORD AND OPPORTU-
NIFTY ITO STAND UP AND BE
COUNTED" IN BEHALF OF PRO
H1BITION.
1t is a trick referendum devised by the
vets to confuse and split up the drys and
divert their attention from the main duty
of the hour which is to prevent the cleo
ton of George Brennan to the United
State Senate.
IGNORE THE REFERENDUM.
VOTE FOR FRANK SMITH FOR
UNITED STATES SENATOR.
BEAT BOSS BRENNAN AND
BOOZE.
Many other reform organizations and
the official bodies of the Baptists, Meth
odists, and Presbyterian churches took
cognizance of the referendum in Illinois
and other states and likewise opposed
them. We insisted that all of the refer
enda were promoted as wet move, aud
for that reason, if no other, should be dis
couraged and ignored by the drys
This claim of ours was confirmed by
literature issued by the Association
Against the Prohibition Amendment, cop
les of which we possess, in which they
