The plans of the agents of foreign
loan sharks last year were to try to
bully the farmers into signing over
One-fOurth of their crop during the
period of redemption. The loan COM
panIes cunningly prepared for this
fraud by giving foreclosure cases to
all the small town lawyers. The re-
suit was that the local disciples of
blackstone sought to create a legal
fiction that the mortgage companies
were entitled 20 One-fOurth of the
crop during the period of redemp-
ton. Hundreds of farmers came in
TO the office of the Producers News
and told me that these loan shark
agents had told them that they would

crop and if they did no. believe it

No. "a: The Radio Day.

Whenever / see Smith lingering
around the radio supply store / make
up my mind that there are two pos
sible reasons for his behavior: interest
in some new Improvement for his set
or desire to learn the cause of some
trouble with IL. This time l guessed
in favor of the latter, and was right.
I'm using up batteries too rapidly"
he explained. There must be some
thing wrong with the set"
How long a radio day are these
batteries working?" l asked.
Smith looked at me with suspicion.
He doesn't like to be joshed, par
ticularly in front of store clerk.
Maybe these batteries are working
a long day and are suffering accord.
ingly," / explained. Your set is ac-
customed to operation SO many hours
a day and you are accustomed to
buying current on that basis. Now
when you alter the radio day, you are
surprised to flnd that you must alter
your purchase of current"
But 1 have been using the set only
about half again as much as usual, !"
Smith argued. Yet am using more
than half again as much current.
That's what puzzles me. "
Don't let it puzzle YOU" told him
Your set is behaving according to
Hoyle. You should not expect to buy
exactly half as much current for the
set with SO per cent increase In its
use. With an increase in set use, bat
terry life is more than pfoportionately
decreased. Putting it another way
with an increase in the use of the set
you must buy current at a greater
rate of increase"
Smith was surprised to find himself
inferr-ing from this that possibly the
whole set, including the vacuum TUBES
were governed by this same Jaw
However. cautioned him against any
such deduction for the reason that
many factors enter into tube and SET
life. Also If the idea of shortening
the life of each tube is kept upper.
most In mind one is likely to curtail
use of the set unnecessarily. As !
saw it. Smith was not begrvdging the
expense of buying new batteries some
what more often than usual. he
simply worried because he did moi
understand why current life was moi
as long as usual
Treat Tubes Properly.
/ told him that he could do more
TO save the tubes by treating them
properly than by restricting any use
of the set. The main point is to keer
a better check on the daily use OF the
set so he will know instantly whether
any requirements of batteries OF
tubes are the logical result of greater
set use or a result of some undis
covered trouble.
Have you ever tried the time clock
idea in using your set" asked him
OF course he had not. Nor had the
radio store clerk ever considered the
idea.
Well. it's q good plan, told him
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1926-07-25

i've investigated q number OF cases
where owners have had trouble with
their "A batteries and l have been
surprised to find that in almost every
instance sets have been used more
than any one imagined. This meant
that owners were not using their bat
terry chargers enough to maintain a
proper balance.
while we speak of the average
radio day. and show from statistics
that the set Is used an average of
two hours a day, you would find that
your set works very irregularly. It's
use is dependent, not merely upon the
popularity and frequency of the pro-
grams being broadcast, but upon a
number of other factors, including
your business, the season of the year,
your home life and the time.
II know you never have considered
these points, but you'll find them
logical enough If youth think them
over. Just think what a difference
daylight saving, or even the normally
longer evenings of Summer, makes in
the length of your radio day. The
average may be completely upset with
very material changes in the rate of
set use, battery wear and tube life.
Use Set Late.
IL you are putting IN long hours
at the office, the chances are that you
will not use the set until late in the
evening. But under such conditions
you may use your set more on such an
evening than you would IL you reached
home at $50 and started right
in.
Here's the picture: Assume that
you come home early. You go to the
set and tune In. OF course YOU do not
get the best programs early in the
evening nor as good reception. You
may tire of the radio earlier that eve
ming and actually put in a short radio
day.
"On the other hand, suppose you
come home late, read your paper and
never think Of the set until $40 or
9. When you tune in, you pick the
leading features of the evening. You
are tired and the entertainment offers
relaxation. Reception Is good. Well.
the chances are that you will use the
radio for two or more hours without
interruption.
Better get radio time clock and
keep check 1t pays. :

TWO RADIO MEASURES
AWAIT CONFERENCE
Dill and White Bill Passed by Re-
spective Houses, to Be Studied
in December.

Reposing on the desks of the con-
ferees of the Senate and House, await
ing their reassembly in December,
are two radio regulating measures,
neither of which became law. Both
hills aim~to confer sufficient authority
for the control and regulation OF
radio. but they differ greatly as to
means of administration. The senate
wants an independent COMMISSION
while the House would leave radlo
control under the Secretary OF COM
merce. ~,
senator Dill. and the House bill, OF
which Representative White is the
author provide for the detailed reg
nlation of practically all matters al
fectinp radio communications; they
authorize the issuance of licenses 10

Segment of channels, power, time OF

of public convenience.
Thev each provide for Appeals

mits have been revoked. Eacn meas
IRE provides against radio monopolies,
or for that matter, a general mono
noly of communications through the
linking up of RADIO, cables, telegraph
and telephone lines under existing
anti.monopoIy laws. They insure the
safety of life at sea, by requiring all
vessels to carry radio, and giving
priority to sos calls. Both bills re-

each station. State rights are pro-
tected. and each of these radio meas
lIres provides for equitable distribu-
ton of radio channels so that zones.
states, and communities shall have at
least one channel reserved for their
uses. While the House bill continues

Commerce Department, the Senate
directs its transfer to the radio COM
mission. insuring skilled supervisors
and inspectors in the field under
eitheI measure.

New license forms for all stations
Just drawn up provide for the record
! ing OF the owners name, location OF
station, purpose for which station is
licensed and wave length designated
as the normal sending wave. Power
Is not mentioned and licenses Will
cover periods Of three months. Warn.
ing is given that the President, In
time of war, may take over a station
or close 1t. and that the station OPP
orator shall not willfully or malicious
iy interfere with any radio communi'
cation from another station. the
laws OF the United States, including
the 1912 radio law and certain inter-
national treaties, govern station OPP
erations.
An interesting question which may
arise is the Interpretation OF willful or
malicious interference At present 1t
is construed as covering efforts of one
station to prevent the reception of an
other. 1t applies especially to broad
casting stations and is included in the
1912 radio law, which is believed en-
forceable. If, for example. broad
casting station transmits meaningless
noises, whistles or perhaps phono-
graph music on a wave length used
by a station nearby, 1t would be con-
sidered as willful interference. II
station undertakes TO DTOaQCdSL Oh d
wave length used by another station
in the vicinity at the same time, it
would also be considered as willful in
reference.
II the broadcasters give any serious
thought to the situation or call in
their engineers, they will soon realize
that all they can accomplish by
changes of their channels will be to
make matters worse, unless they get
together in conference, either locally
or nationally, and attempt scientific
reallocation of the SO channels which
stations in the United States are just
ly entitled to use.
There are six other practical broad
cast waves. but they belong to the
Canadian broadcasters and should not
be utilized by our stations. Retalia.
ton might follow any breach on the
part of stations In the States. If
Canada decided to do so. she could
assign her SIS stations each wave
length chosen from those used in the
States, which would create chaos in
North American ether and perhaps
an international complication.
The idea of selecting radio car to
become the Judge Lands or Will
Hayes of radio broadcasting is an
other possible solution. Such an arbi-
traitor might make reallocations to
suit everybody and prevent piracy
in the ether by indignant or ambitious
individuals.

and loss OF sleep. Explaining one Of
the theories OF radio interference de-
veloped recently. DR.. Dellinger says:
There seems to be some effect Of
sun-spots on radio reception. Sun
spots throw out enormous ell options of
electrons and other electrical particles,
some OF which reach the earth's at
mosphere. When the sun-spots are
particularly intense. radio reception
is apt to be disturbed and poor. This
has not been conclusively proved, but

FEWER HORSES. MORE FOOD

In typical midde-Western state, an agrlcul-
tural authority says the farm machinery suppantlng
horses has released for human more than l,ooo-
600 acres OF land thereby enabling the same cultivated
acreage to feed 900 more people.
Here is element of the truck and tractor traffic
that is usually lost sight of. Horses have been es-
sental to farms in the past and still have their value
there Vet it is true that horse working on the
farm must draw his living from the farm and that
a mechanical contrivance which does that horses
work without consuming any Of the crops produced
leaves Just much more food Tor the human pop
ulation.
This is one Of the factors making food cheaper and
enabling farms to feed the nation with fewer farm
workers. So far the city consumers have had most
OF the resulting benefit. Eventually 1t Will come
