SPECIAL COURSE
BE|NGARRANGED
viii Be for Dealers, JObberS,
Statesmen.

NEW YORK, oct. 25.-A special
course in radio, for the express benc-
fit Of dealers, jobbers. statesmen and
scrvice men has been established by
the Radio Institute of America. In
order that men actually engaged in
the business of selling radio sets to
the public might possess more than
a mere veneer of radio knowledge,
instruction in the simple mechanics
Of electricity and radio, with labora-
tory session in wiring. assembling
and installing sets, is now being Of
fered.
In the opinion of r. L. Duncan,
director of the institute, there are
two fields open in radio, the traffic
or communication field, and practical
radio work in radio merchandising
and servicing. He claims that radio
men are trained, not born" and
that most of the large radio organ
izations possess ''directorates of men
whose names could be found on the
active list of Government licensed
operators in days gone by"
It was to more fully cover all
branches of the radio industry that
the institute recently installed its
classes for those engaged in the
radio business. Not only are class
sessions held. but correspondence
courses are offered.

these two lines is being sought in
the design of a receiver getting it's
A and b. battery power direct from
the electric light line. This immense
improvement has not been perfected.
The set itself. when finished, is an
attractive piece OF furniture, far su-
perior to the ugly-dialed apparatus
that is now on the decline. leading
cabinet makers are making the
boxes and consoles for the receivers,
so. that they may be kept on a par
with other furniture in a room.
That is only for appearances sake.
Besides, there are many innovations
to make the set foolproOf and easier
to operate-one dial control, freedom
from spqeals and bowls, greater Sc
lectivity even at the low wave
lengths, elimination of tube and
other noises. greater volume with
less distortion of sound.
Altogether, the modern receiver,
although far from perfect, is a de-
cided improvement over that pro
duced only a year ago.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1926-10-25

Radio has changed in the last year
as much as the automobile did in
ten.
Building a receiver, like building
your own car, is already almost
passe. Only the amateur and real
dyed-in-the-wool fans-those who
like to tinker with wires and such
still build their own sets.
For it doesn't pay. Nowadays the
radio fan can buy a receiver Of any
kind for much less than it would
cost to buy just the parts. The time
and trouble in building the set, and
the question whether it viii work
when finished, are additioal.
Yet set building isn't all that's
relegated to the earlier days of radio
although were still in the early
stage.
The manufactured product itself
is quite~a revelation. Even the re-
ceiver of last fall is ancient COM
pared to that Of today.
No Wiring Shown
Wires are being coveredup. Even
the tubes, condensers and other APP
paratus in the receiver are being ar
ranged and boxed in shields of cop
per almost as much for appearance

an airplane crash. Last years list
OF faealities amounted fifty-six.
In the seven weeks of August and
September, seventeen members of the

ATWAFER KENT
HOUR WILL Be
SHOW FEATURE
Allen MCQuhae, metropolitan
Opera Star. to Sing
Over WFBM.

One Of the outstanding features of
the Indianapolis Radio Show will be
the Atwater Kent Hour of Music,
which will be broadcast-from the
big crystal studio wednesday eve
ming, Oct. 81, between $50 and $50.
The featured artist on this pro
gram will be Allen McQuhae, Metro
politan opera star, who has been
featured on the Atwater Kent pro
grams each Sunday evening during
the past summer from WEAF and
a chain of fifteen of the largest
broadcasting stations in the country.
This program is through the cour-
tesy Of Adolf Wagner of the II. I.
Electric Company, local distributors
of Atwater Kent radio sets, who Is
bringing McQuhae here direct from
New York City.
Several weeks ago McQuahae was
the featured artist at the Chicago
Radio Show, where he was accorded
one of the greatest receptions ever
given an artist. During the past
several years ne has made a num-
Der of recordings for the Brunswick
Company. This will be the first timp
that a Metropolitan opera star ever
has been heard over WFBM, the
local station Of the Merchants Heat
and Light Company.
Programs will be broadcast each
evening from the show between {?
and midnight and viii include some
of the leading broadcasting talent of
the country. Radio fans will have
an opportunity of seeing and hearing
such famous stars as Ray Miller
and his Brunswick orchestra, the
Ray-O-Vac Twins, Lee Simms, the
Mona Motor Oil Twins, Jean Alexan-
dra, known as the Rose Girl of
Radio; Norman Brokenshire, fa-
nous announcer from station WIZ,
New York City, and many others.
Bailey Fesler and Carl Foil will an
nounce the program from the show
with the exception Of Wednesday
evening, when Brokenshire will
handle the microphone.

as for greater efficiency. The re-
ceiver within is a clean, finished
product, as opposed to the jumbles
of wire still in use through the coun-
try.
Outside the set, leading to the bat
teries, the charger, the aerial and
the ground, wires made a mess of a
pretty living-room corner. They still
do today in many homes. But that's
passing also.
Instead we're coming to loop re
ceivers, eliminating the unsightly
outside aerial and ground connec-
tons. Many loop sets are coming
out this fall, sets ranging from six
to eight and nine tubes, much more
powerful and effective than ever.
One Line to Batteries
The unsightly storage battery and
dry batteries, too. are either being
boxed nito compact and attractive
form, or are being eliminated. Only
one trunk line, now, is required TO
lead from the receiver to the box
that holds charger, A battery and
B battery all in one. And there's
another line from this box to the
electric light plug. That's all.
Even here, elimination of one OF

POLITICAL COMMUNICATIONS
 AND NEWSPAPERS

The Herald for the last few days has been going through an experi- ence quite common at election times In this plant as well as others. It has been deluged with political arguments of the you did" and you didn't" type, sub mitted by the writer in the fond hope that his words were going to turn the tide Of voters to or from one or another candidate for office. And the Herald Is obliged to re- fuse the use of its columns for such purposes for the very simple reason that 1t cannot hope to print all the personal opinions of many individuals and the inspired ideas of many organizations - 1t has not the room.
 Inasmuch as 1t is compelled to refuse some it must refuse all, playing no favorites in the grant. ing of Its space. One after another of the writers of communications may feel that they have a just grievance against or a valuable ar gument for a candidate or party. Usually each seems 10 think that he or she is the only one who should be privileged to use the columns and our expensive space, or fails to realize the accumula- ton of such matter on hand. If 1t were a matter of satisfying one person, or one on each side, we should be glad to donate the neces- sary space - but it is not. It i' a matter of accommodating all oi none. Hence our rule. It's none.

DETECTION AND PUNISHMENT

The Bridgeport Telegram and tho Waterbury Republican have been in. dulglng In q spirited argument over capital punishment, the former in favor and the latter against,
 Says tho Bridgeport Telegram; Both England and Italy have plenty of police and strong law.en- forcement machinery, but England, where there is capital punishment, has only one-tltth the murder rate Of Italy, whore life Imprisonment Is tho limit"
 Which sounds very impressive. but the facts arc that in the United States, in which all but few states have capital punishment the mur- der rate is twice that fin Italy, We lead the world in homicide, despite capital punishment. Only one in ten murderers are ever caught and con- yicted.
 New York city has capital punish- ment-but that isn't stopping the murders. So has Illnois-but what they do in Chicago is a by-word. Michigan first of the states to abolish capital punlshment--has q 1 large city with fewer murderer per 1000 than New York or Chicago,
 In the New York Herald Tribune last Sunday was a news story from England, with the heading, British Crime less Than in Pre-War Days. " And in the body of the article was the following significant paragraph:
 Contrary to common opinion, the British record is not entirely due to sureness Of detection and punish ment. The fact is, that during 1924 only II persons were sentenced to death. and of these only ten were actually executed. Despite a yearly average of 190 murders during the last F years, there were only 4l2 convictions for murder. It has been pointed out, however, that the re- quirement of the British law for strong proof in murder cases re- suits in an unusually large propor- ton of acquittals from this charge"
 And near the end these words; The report (British criminal statis- tics) taken as a whole, shows that over the period of years England has been growing less criminal and is according more human treatment to the criminal"
 The reason for the British record is not alleged severity in the attitude toward criminals, but the tendency of it's people not to commit murder
 It is 8 peoples heart, not the law that governs crime statistics.

NEW ENGLAND CONSUMERS
 AND THE WEST

The total of goods made in the middle west but consumed in New England is enormous. One can go into any store, look at the manu- facturers labels. and find that goodly proportion of the articles on sale are not manufactured in New England. This would not be sur prising were it not for the fact that much of the goods could just as rasly be made in this tier of states.
 Governor Brewster of Maine said Inc other day that while Maine was raising potatoes, it's people were buying and consuming tons of po- .ato chips made in Chicago, The reason for this was that the Chi cago potato chips came in neat car tons. and were easy to handle and 10 buy. Maine could put up chips 1 in cartons and sell them in Maine and the remainder of the country; but it doesn't do it. The potatoes arc shipped to be put up In cartons in the form of chips elsewhere, then Maine imports the chips.
 Governor Brewster also referred 10 the 15.00O,0o0 acres of hard wood trees within the state. Many industries could be built around them. As 1t is, Mainc's people are buying radio loud speakers made out of hardwood, and the speakers are made as far away as California. The governor wants to know why Maine could not manufacture loud speakers and export them to the re- maindcr Of the country, II must be due to q lack of enterprise.
 New England is willing to buy anything 1t needs from elsewhere but it ought to be able 10 supply it's own needs 10 q greater extent It ought' 10 bc able to manufacture greater variety of goods for eX- portation 10 other parts of the country. As manufacturing states those in New England have earned much lamo and reputation; but 1t k question whether they are hold
 ing their own in all lines, especial! when the total of goods from else where Is considered that are beinl consumed in New England.
 The situation has only one goo' point: When existing lines becom slack New England can think o . the things 1t is importing. But wal until then,
