RADIO OFFICIALS
TOREPORT JUMPS"
Court Decision Affecting
Wave Lengths Was Expect
ed to Cause Outbreak.

Radio officials of the Government
were watching closely today for indi-
cations of an outbreak among the
country's broadcasters which had
been promised if the Government lost
it's suit against station WJAZ,
Chicago.
Although their hands apparently are
tied by the decision that denied the
Department of Commerce the author
ity to regulate the ether, word has
gone out from Washington to the
radio inspectors throughout the coun-
try to keep a close check on nearby
broadcaSters and to report immed1-
ately any stations that jump their
wave lengths.
Thirty Stations Demur.
During the last two months ap-
proXimately 80 stations, dissatisfied
with their ALLEGATION, notified the
department that they were prepared
to take more desirable ether channels
if WJAZ should be upheld in its
alleged piracy" Only one other
station, however, was known today
to be operating on an unassigned
wave length, namely KWkH, at
Shreveport, which followed the Iead
of WJAZ two weeks ago.
Officials were watching, also, to see
whether any Of the applicants of
recent months who have been denied
licenses would endeavor to go a step
further and assume the right to
broadcast without a Government per
nit. 1t was said, however. that there
was only a remote possibility of this.
In view of activity in the Senate to
create new radio legislation before ad-
journment. it is not believed that the
outbreak, if it occurs, will assume
very alarming proportions for at least
another month, and then only if Con-
gress fails to act.
Are Likely to Wait.
Most of the dissatisfied broad
casters, it was explained, will prob
ably wait to learn the congressional
attitude before taking any radical
steps that might endanger their
chances of obtaining more favorable
ALLEGATION under the proposed legis-
lation.
Meanwhile. every effort is being
made to push some sort of radio bill
through Congress. Petitions to the
Senate committee on interstate COM
stations asking for immediate legis-
lation to prevent further ether ma
rauding. Among these petitions was
one from 10 Chicago stations opposed
to the action of WJAZ.
1t is also expected a further appeal
will be made to the listeners of the
entire country to urge remedial legis-
lation.

Sousa Says Radio Has Changed People
Into Listeners, Killing Sale of Music

royalties totaled $29,500, "a mere
pittance" in comparison with his
come prior to the invention of phono.
graphs and radio.
He attacked the copyright law of
1909, which limited to cents the
royalty that might be paid compos-
ers on each record sold of their
compositions. He added that "when
we furnish the brains through which
the companies make money we ought
to get something out of it,"
E. c. Mills, chairman of the ad.
ministrative committee of the Amer.
ican Society of Composers, Authors
and Publishers, denied that the or
ganization was a music trust" He
said the society was organized in
1914 "as a policeman to catch the
thieves who were infringing upon tn
rights Of composers and publishers. y

shown in the illustrations above, the
base support is fioated on four springs
which serve the double purpose OF
shock absorbers and flexible connec-
tions from the binding posts. which
are wired into the circuit and the tube
contact springs which make contact
with the tube prongs. The esprinS is
made in one piece, thus doing away
with the possibility of poor cOnnec-
tions between the contact springs and
the binding posts.
Rubber has been used as a cushion
or shock DISORDER in some sockets
Unless connections to the terminals
are made with flexible wire, however.
the value of supports is nil. Rubber
supported sockets are not as sturdy

in which the tube base is f1oated on
spring connectors.

vibration of the loud-speaker it
can often be eliminated by plac-
ing the loud-speaker on a separate
stand or table and as far as possible
away from the receiver. Turning the
loud-speaker horn away from the set
will often help considerably.
Changing tubes around will often
cure the trouble, because the micro
phonic tube does not cause as much
trouble in the amplifier stages as it
does in the detector.
Probably the best method of elimi
mating this nuisance is the use of
spring cushion sockets, which act as
shock abSorberS.
Various types of cushion sockets are
available. The Benjamin spring sus-
pended type, shown in the diagram. is
probably the best known and most
used of this type. In these sockets.

tions of the tube elements changes the
electrical characteristics of the tube
and the fluctuations Of the current in
the plate circuits which are produced
by the ringing or bowling.
There are a number of ways in
which this disturbance or jarring may
take place. Walking across the floor,
hitting against the receiver or stand,
touching the controls are the most
common. A truck numbering over the
street may cause the disturbance. In
many cases the vibration of the loud
speaker will cause such disturbance
either directly because it vibrates the
common stand or table on which both
receiver and loud-speaker are placed,
or indirectly through the movement
of air which it sets up and causes
narts in the receiver to vibrate.a

You can test yourself with a sheet

in them. If they appear merely as
hlots. YOU are of the conventional
type. If, however. YOU see in them
fantastic and original pictures. then
YOU belong to creative type above

Interview That Has

Those correspondents In Washing

President with sincere envy. The first
Presidential statement made to a
newspaper reporter came from the

John Quincy Adams clothes on shore
and listened to what the bather, clad
only In river water and dismay, had
to say. There were no "ah's" and
"oh's." Whenever she failed to grasp
the sense of a remark, she demanded
an explanation. And the President
clarified 1t nobly. The story is told
entertainingly in "Seventy-fve Years
of White House Gossip" by Edna M.
Colman.
Nowadays the correspondents in
Washington assemble at the White

Neup Musical Depice

A Russian musician, S. Gilev, has
invented a new musical instrument
which, he hopes, will replace upright
and grand pianos. The instrument
which has an ordinary keyboard, is in
the form Of a box one yard wide and
weighing only eight pounds. The
usual strings are replaced by steel
comb, and the little hammers by tiny
pinchers which touch upon the teeth
OF the combs. Russian composers and
musicians, including Ippolitov-Ivanov
and Avranek, who have played the In
strument at the Moscow Conservatory
of Music, testify that it is capable of
replacing existing pianos and that It
has a stronger tone and better intona-
lions than the ordinary pianos. The
new instrument has been named
"Pinchetone."
