Mandan's Fourth Annua
Roundup Closes With Yes.
tcrday's Performance

About 20 men on horseback lined
UP and their namcs were called
through megahhone to the specta-

at the fairgrounds yesterday. Then
there was a swirl Of dust as they
cantercd across The field and the
final afternoon of the rodco was on.
Although attendance was not IN to

fourth annual roundup staged at Man

cnlookcrs were q number of Indian
women. Then there were Indians in
some Of the riding eients. and bright
colors swirled in the bleachers and
formed in eddics of retreat whenever

AS matter of fact but little rain
fell until close to 9he end Of the

every bit as bad as the horses. but
though several of the riders were

Badlands Bill McCarty, who staged
the roundup as personal venture,
expressed himself as we'll pleased with
the outcome.
The show is reported to have made
allsthe expenses from the first days

estimated close to $500. and though
the crowd yesterday was probably
not up to that figure, it was none the
less respectable showing.
McCarty will take practically the
whole show to Minneapolis. where he
is to stage similar roundup next

Noted Authority Radio
All Rights Reserved. Reproduction Prohibited.

The following figures. prepared
after extensive experimentation by
the United States Bureau OF SGpd
ards, will give you some idea OF ne
small amount of current required for
the operation of radio receivers. Those
who want to check them up Will fnd
the statements on page 449 OF the
principles of Radio Communication,
second edition, Radio Communication
Pamphlet No. 40 of the Bureau OF
Standards. Remember that micro
ampere is a millionth part Of an am
pere. A current of so microamperes
will operate an ordinary crystal de-
tector receiver. A current OF 10 micro
amperes is sufficient to operate a SEN
sitive crystal detector circuit. A one
tube receiver will operate on from .0l
to 1 microampere, depending on the
efficiency Of the circuit. Receivers
using radio and audio amplification
will operate on currents much smaller
than .01 microampere.
Most Current Dissipated.
If YOU will think of the current con-
sumed by a receiver as being so small
that only a millionth part Of an am
pere Is required to give good results,
YOU will understand why it is that the
addition of millions of receivers will
not affect good reception. The aver
age tive.tube receiver consumes about
an ampere and a quarter of current
from the storage battery. That en-
ergy would be sufficient to supply mil
lions of receivers If it went direct to
the receivers without being dtssipated
by other objects. Since the amount
of energy dissipated by these other OBJ
jects will remain the same, and since
the amount of energy consumed even
by the addition of several million re-
ceivers is so very small the idea that
the use of more receivers will soon
make it impossible to receive programs
is absolutely false.
Don't worry about the possibility of
a shortage of energy to operate your
receiver. There will never be such a
thing even If every man, woman and
child in the United States gets re-

duced in the near and far sides of the
loop when 1t is pointing toward the
station" he said, 'but, tell me, why
doesn't the very position of the loop
enable the radio waves to induce cur
| rents in the two sides OF the loop In
opposite directions?"
THAT Is because the loop is not
large enough" I explained. IF the
| loop were so big that it's near side
was in the crest of the wave and Its
| far side in the trough, current would
| flow in a counter direction. when in
duced in the wiring of the opposite
sides. Such a loop would be too un-
weildly to handle and quite impossible
for home use. What we are up
against, then, is a situation in which
the two sides of the loop are almost
in one plane with the induced cur
rents practically opposing each other
instead Of flowing the way we would
like.
Note that 1 said practically
There is just one little opening Of
fered by the loop arrangement and
that is what we grasp in an effort to
make 1t practicable for use in radio
receiving. You've already guessed It,.
It's the element of time.
Where Waves Strike.
Radio waves strike the near side
of the loop first. This offers just
enough variation in the current in
duction to prevent complete neutral
ization. AT the end of the loop wiring
we find that there is a current flow.
1t is very slight. of course, but enough
to provide something for our highly
sensitive tuning and amplifying ap-
paratuS to work on"
Smith paused a moment to marvel
over the fact that though the electro
magnetic field that strikes the loop
travels at the rate of 186.300 miles
per second. the speed of light, the mo.
ment the loop is turned toward the
station the difference in time of induc-
ton upon each Of the two loop sides
is sufficient TO start a current flowing
He also caught the idea that the
loop arrangement was one primarily
of induction, whereas the antenna.
ground affair was a condenser effect.
II was just another way of catching
the reason why a ground is necessary

Is There a Limit TO the Number of

the bees knees of all the prize bug
house fables. Perhaps some f1apper
can supply some more remarks that
are not in my vocabulary.
TO begin with, 1t must be under
stood that the actual power received
by a radio receivers antenna Is so
small that IL can be measured only
with most delicate of laboratory in
, StrumentS. 1t must also be realized
that radio receivers, even of the cryS-
tai detector type, operate on currents
which cannot be measured except with
the use of the most delicate of deli
cate instruments. Phones will give a
response with only a few microam-
! peres flowing in the circuit, and, re-
member, a microampere is one-mil
ionth of an ampere.
Why Stations Use High Power.
But you will ask why is it that sta
tions have to use such tremendous
power, measured in such large figures
as kiloWatts, If only a very small cur
rent is required to operate the receiv-
ers. The answer to this is found in
the fact that the energy radiated from
transmitting aerial does not all go
toward the operation of radio re-

BY far the greatest part of this
energy is absorbed and dissipated by

No. 61.-LOoping the Loop.

| Smith found that a loop did not
work very we'll as the wave intercept
ing system for his particular set, but
| that did not discourage him at all
He was glad of the opportunity to
acquaint himself with the principles
| of loop operation.

| not pick up enough for good opera.
ton with his particular kind of set.
There positively was no advantage in
scrapping the regular antenna-ground
method he had been using.
What interested Smith most about
| the loop was that it could pick up the
energy from the air without the use of
a ground connection. This, he was to
find. resulted from the characteristic
way in which a loop can intercept the
electro magnetic and pressure electro
static waves sufficiently to start a
current flow.
Here he had to go back to some
| of the first principles in electricity. In
the simple electric generator loop, or
coil. Is made to rotate within an cleo
tro-magnetic field. This induces a
current in the loop which, in turn. is
led out into power lines. The radio
loop is somewhat the same, except
that when a station is being received
it remains stationary while the cleo
tro-magnetic waves pass across it. A
current is induced in the wires of the
loop just as in the case of the genera
tor.
What Smith couldn't understand,
having reached this point. was why
the current induced in the wiring at
one side of the loop didn't counteract
or neutralize that induced at the
other. thus stopping all current flow
at the end of the wiring. This was
clarified instantly when he learned
that exactly this situation occurs
when a loop aerial is turned at right
angles to the incoming wave In
other words. If the fiat side of the
loop is turned squarely against the
wave there will be no current flow at
the terminal and therefore no recep-
ton.
Maximum Current Flow.
This point is very fine. as 1 will
show you presently" l explained to
him. "The main thing to remember
is that the maximum current flow at
| the end Of the wire is created when
the loop is pointing directly at the
wave coming from the broadcasting
station. If you keep this in mind l
am sure the rest will be simple"
Smiths eyes frightened as he
caught the idea that If the wiring on
one side of the loop were nearer to
