CZE ANNOUNCER MAKES
CLEAR JUST WHO'S WHO
Last Five Minutes Of Program
Sounds Like College Yell, But
Identifies Station.

Mexico City introduced a novelty
in radio programs in it's contribution
to the North American broadcasts
Of Thursday night and last night.
when the announcer for the final five
minutes Of the hour gave nothing
but the call letters and location of
station CZE.
Surprised listeners in the East
thought at first they We're hearing
some sort Of college yell, as the an
nouncer repeated over and over
"CZE, Mexico, Mexico. Mexico, CZE,
Mexico City" The CZE form Of pro-
gram, however, might have been imi.
tated with success by some of the
European stations whose music drift
ed across the Atlantic, but whose
widely scattered announcements were
lost in the static fire of the ether.

last RADIO TEST
LOST TO CAPITAL
Big Experiment, Just Closed,
May End Transatlantic
Program Exchanges.

With the transatlantic and trans
canal portions Of International Test
week disposed Of, radio fans Of the
country may settle back to their Sc
rious listening. with nothing momen-
tous on the radio schedule for at least
another year.
The fifth hour devoted to the cur
rent fad Of tuning in Europe" ended
Thursday night, as It began, in rather
inglortouS failure as far as the Capt.
tai was concerned. The squealing sets
foregathered early in the evening and
completely spoiled whatever chances
the non-squealers had of listening to
a few words from lover there"
Whether the international tests will
be repeated next year lies with the
officials of the Test week committee
who have intimated that the expert
ments Of this year may be the last of
their kind.
The cost of arranging the programs
from abroad, which the difference in
time necessitated being presented in
the early morning hours OF Europe,
is known to have mounted into the
thousa nds of dollars. BY next Janu-
airy, however. it is hoped that with the
expected advance of radio science and
engineering transatlantic broadca St
Ing will have taken its place in the
scheme of American radio to such an
extent that silent hours in the United
States and especially prepared pro-
grams Will not be necessary for tun-
ing in the continent and South
America.
The most extensive preparations
for Test week broadcasting, II Is
learned. were carried out In Lima,
Peru, where every effort was made to
bring the new voice of Peru to the at.
tention Of American listeners. From
early reports, its attempt was the
most successful of any of the foreign
broadcasters

Valuable Data Gathered.

By the Associated Press
NEW YORK. January 30.-Radio is
gradually triumphing over all OBJ
stacles, Powell Crosley, Cincinnati
chairman of the Radio week com
mittee, said after studying the results
OF the third international broadcasting
tests, in which American and Eu-
ropean stations suffered much inter.
ference with their efforts to exchange
programs.
THE International tests were
hampered this year by every him
drance that has ever occurred in the
history of radio-extreme static,
magnetic disturbances. two S. o. s.
calls and storms at sea, to say nothing
of several practical jokers, who trans
mitted on foreign waves, giving calls
Of foreign stations" Mr.. Crosley said
with all the hindrances, however,
the radio tests have been most sue
cessful from the viewpoint of advance
ment of the radio art and there is no
question that IA great deal of valuable
data has been gathered

URGE RADIO RECEPTION
AT ISOLATED STATIONS
Experts Believe This Would Assure
Regular Connection
With Europe.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. January 30.-Regular
radio communication with Europe, by
establishing receiving stations in iso-
lated spots out of reach of local inter
ference, was suggested yesterday by
Lewis NJ. Clement, radio engineer,
and Houston F. Stark, secretary of F.
A. d. Andrea. Inc.
Northeastern Maine was suggested
as favorable location for an Ameri-
can station, the two experts pointing
out that reception at Bar Harbor dur
ing the war had demonstrated its ad-
vantage.
The radio engineers, after checking
up the international broadcaSting
tests, said that transatlantic broad
casting would be improved rs per cent
by the elimination of regenerative re-
ceivers.
Only 10 per cent Of interference,
they asserted, is due to static, while
Is per cent is caused by commercial
interference and power lines and 10
per cent by sets with 'squeals.'

Vacuum Tubes, Old and New. Part V.

The electrical characteristics OF the
WD-11, VIDE and Wx-12 tubes Of
the Radio Corporation and the Gil,
Gle and Cx-12 of the Cunningham
Co. are all the same. Mechanically,
the WD-11 and Gil tubes have the
original push-type bases with the long
polarized prongs, that is, prongs so
made that they can be inserted in the
socket only in the proper way.
The VIDE and C-12 have the
standard Navy type base, while the
WIFE and the CX-12 have the new
standardized WX and OK bases.
All of these tubes operate at a fila
ment terminal voltage Of IL volts,
supplied by standard 1.5-volt dry cells.
They draw 0.25 ampereS at IL volts.
A 6-ohm rheoStat is required for MA
ment voltage control. They may be
used as detectors and audio frequency
amplifiers, but are not efficient as
radio frequency amplifiers. AS detec-
tors they should be used with plate
voltages of from 20 to 40 volts. A
grid condenser of O.00025 mid. and a
grid leak of from to megohms
should be provided. AS aInplifiers a

used with plate voltages between 80
and 100.
Identical Characteristics.
Uy.1ea, C.2ss, UX-1s9 and Cx.2ss
tubes are identical In operating
characteristics The last two differ
from the first two only In the type Of
base used. The small standard Tx
and OK bases are used in the last
two, while the special small base is
used in the first two.
The small standardized UX and OK
! ba ses differ from the large standard
lied UX and OK bases only In sthe
outside diameter Of the base. The
length and diameter of the prongs and
their distances from one another is
the same in both small and large
| bases, so that the same push-type
socket can be used for both large and
small standardized bases The large
| base, however, can also be used In
| standard Navy type sockets, whereas
the small base can only be used In
the new push-type sockets.

STOCKADEF FINDS
DEMAND GOOD

NEW YORK. April 24.-There Is
no apparent dimlnution in the pres.
ent building boom If demand for
material is any index, according
to r. B. Fuller, president Of the
Stockade Building System. He re-
ports increasing demand on the
part of the building industry for
stockade. the new fiber block which
Is considered by some authorities
the most revolutionary development
since the appearance of reinforced
concrete.
Although this is a comparatively
new product, having been on the
market II months, demand has
been generally steady until the last
two months, when 1t has taken a
sharp upward turn, according to
the quarterly report of the COM
pany's president, r. B. Fuller.
This demand, says the report, is
chiefly from Florida, Illinois, New
York and New England. Near Chi
cago, a real estate development at
Midlothian is to utilize the new
blocks in many houses.
Stockade Is the invention of
James Monroe Hewlett, director Of
the American Institute Of Archi'
tects. The fiber blocks, eight times
the size of common brick, are
