OWNING YOUR OWN HOME

Ever since the advent of the auto
mobile the humorists in the news
papers and periodicals have been
coming jokes about how the people
who have homes do not stay in them
any more. And the great boom in
apartment houses in the larger cities
has added to the belief that the indi-
vidual home is becoming passe.
Doubtless this condition has been
exaggerated, but if it is true that
the people as whole do not care
so much about their homes as they
used, there is more reason than ever
to encourage the Gown your own
home movement" Every enterpris-
ing city likes to pride itself on the
fact that it is city of homeowners,
whether it really does enjoy that dis
tinction or not. And there is reason
for this.
AS general thing the home
owner is pretty good citizen. And
ne is more apt to stay in his home
than the fellow who only rents park
ing space in an apartment. This is
not saying that the apartment is I'M
desirable. 1t doubtless fills neces-
sary place in our city life, but the
individual home is still the ideal to
be strived for.
The homeowner is not apt to be-
come bolshevist. He feels that he
has little property right in his own
city and country and if he is ambi-
tlous, as most homeowners are, he
wants to increase that property right.
He is taxpayer. He is interested in
the improvements in his home city
and is very apt to be very useful
citizen in general. Of course the
man who rents may be just as good
and useful citizen as the man who
owns his home, but this is not gain
saying the fact that the homeowner
has it on the renter in more ways
than one.
A city or town therefore cannot do
itself or its citizenry any greater
good than in encouraging in every
way it can the Gown your own home"
movement. 1t will not do to say that
people do not stay in their homes
after they have acquired one, because
this is not true. The latest inven-
lions of science, including the radio,
to say nothing of the electrical conve
niences of which every housewife
knows the value, have checked the
"away from home" movement, and it
is quite possible that there will be
general movement in the other direc-
ton, namely-back home.
Why not do what we can therefore, y
through our banks and our civic orr
CARNATIONS, to encourage this home
ownership idea? Some would-be
homeowners are deferred by lack of
proper financing, a condition which
can usually be remedied. And there
are others who are waiting for the
cost of building material and labor to
come down. But we are not going
back to the pre-war standard of prices

RADIO EQUIPMENT
Gifts Have Brought Pleasure
to Remote Stations, Says
Secretary Hoover.

Generosity of the public in con.
tributing radio equipment has result
ed in equipping all the more remote
and isolated stations of the Light
house Service of the Commerce De-
partment with radio sets, Secretary
Hoover announced Yesterday. Mr..
Hoover said, in statement to the
press, that about 3S1 receiving sets
and 100 head sets have been received.
His statement follows, in part:
Mr.. Putnam, commissioner Of light.
houses, states that the men In the
service who have received sets sim
cerely appreciate the kindness of the
press in prevailing upon some of our
generous citizens to make the dona-
tions which have so greatly improved
their conditions.
Letters coming in from the light
keepers indicate that the sets which
the department has been able to dis
tribute thus far are working very sat-
lsfactorily. The keepers report that
they are getting clearly and distinctly
the words of prominent speakers,
musical entertainment, good Sunday
sermons and the like. One keeper in
expressing appreciation describes his
radio as the most company OF any
thing I have ever seen in the light
house service
'Jn addition to being entertained,
the keepers are making use of the sets
in receiving important messages and
in the reception of weather reports
and time signals. When they become
proficient in reading. code, many of the
sets may be of vital use In receiving
urgent code messag ges."

ing Wave-Lengths and Such
Things Held Non-existent.

Spcrtsmanship and spirit of fair
play among the broadcasters of the
United States comprise one of the pre-.
dominant features of American radio,
according to w. D. Terrell, chief radio
supervisor of the Department Of Com
merce.
Aside from the few test suits insti.
tuted to determine the extent of the
authority of the department. and occa-
sional matteringS of unrest in the
ranks OF a small minority of stations,
the large body of more than 500 sta
ton owners have worked together and
with the department almost as one for
the Improvement of brOadca sting and
the science of radio.
Stealing" programs has been prac.
ticed seldom If ever in the four years
of broadcasting, Mr.. Terrell said. de-
spite the lack of legislation that would
prevent such action. In the three
years that the chain program has
broadcasting, no attempt to retransmit
this high-grade entertainment by a
station outside the chain has been re-
ported to Mr.. Terrell's office.
The only attempts at rebroadcast-
ing programs have always been car.
ried out with the mutual consent of
the stations involved. and "a gentle
men agreement prevails regarding
the unauthorized. use of program ma
terial booked at Sthe larger and more
influential plants.
Even with the court decision made
recently in Chicago, which held that
the department is without authority
to prevent stations from operating on
an unassigned wave-length. the great
majority of station owners have con.
tinued to recognize the department s
wishes, and so far have not attempted
TO transgress from their conduct dur.
ing the early days Of broadcasting, Mr..
Terrell explained.
Whether this spirit of sportsman n.
ship will continue indefinitely cannot
oe determined, Mr.. Terrell said. The
broadcasting fraternity as a whole Is
extremely anxious for radio legisla-
tion that will let it know where au-
thority rests so that it may make its
plans for the future.

AS tried to show him, the big things
in reception happen up to and IN
cluding the detector. Beyond that
you can enlarge upon signals to a
point where distortion takes place,
but If these signals are not sufficient
ly energetic to start with, the appar-
ent ampiification process simply
means distortion.
'If it were possible to follow the
plan you have worked out all the
radio manufacturers would have to
do would be to provide a surplus Of
audio amplifying tubes and transform
ers," l told him. considering the
sales value of such sets, judged by
their actual performance, this could
be accomplished at comparatively
little cost. II would be Il wonderful
sales scoop. But it isn't done. And
that's the best answer l can give as
to why you can't expect to do it.
To Improve Reception.
"If you want to improve reception,
the place to start Is at the source of
the signal strength, not at the other
end. l do not say that amplification
is not important or that you cannot
add q power tube and get better re-
do say that the logical step is to look
to increasing signal strength as pick
ed up by the Waveintercepting sys-
tenn.
1T is the same principle you apply
20 your car when YOU want to in
crease its climbing ability. You
are justified In greasing the wheels
and in seeing that the brakes do not
drag but the main thing is to have
the valves seating properly and the
carburetor mixture right. III an
automobile 1t is possible to step up
power by gearing the car lower at
the rear axle, but this is never real
efficiency. You can step up the final
product Of your receiving set through
additional audio amplification. but
that does not increase the real range
and sensitivity of your set.
"In q nutshell, the idea Is this: The
grid of the detector tube controls the
audio amplifying system, but II there
is not enough signal strength to en-
able the grid to set off the rectifica-
ton process you will get nothing but
silence. regardless of how many stages
Of amplification you use. how many
tubes and how much battery energy.
If you can get the grid to- start
something YOU have something TO
work on in the amplifying line, and
1t usually happens that you get bet
ter results by building up signal
strength before it reaches the grid
than by trying to make a lot out of
very little through audio amplifying."
