Improving Your Receiver by the
Touch System.

Touching various parts of a. re-
ceiver very often has the effect Of
increasing the sensitivity and signal
strength materially. It Is out of the
question, however, to keep your
finger on a certain terminal of a re-
ceiver for the entire length of n pro
gram. In many cases the improve
ment In receiver performance obtained
by touching certain terminals may be
made permanent without the neces-
sity of keeping your finger on that
particular terminal
Touching the aerial terminal of a
receiver often results in such increase
In signal strength. The reason for
the increase under such conditions
is due to the fact that touching the
aerial circuit increases the coupling
between the aerial and the other
circuits of the receiver due to the
proximity or coupling between the re-
ceiver and the body of the operator.
This is especially noticeable when
headphones are used, because in that
case the coupling between the re-
ceiver (headphones) and the body of
tho operator Is at a maximum.
You can mako this improvement
pling between the antenna and secon.
dary circuit Of your tuner by connect
ing the ground or aerial binding post
with the filament lead Of the receiver
Be sure. before trying this. that your
aerial circuit is not already connected
with the f1lamert circuit.
The connection which usually gives
best results Is shown below in Fig. !.

WHITE RADIO BILL

BY Consolidated Press.


ATLANTIC CITY, N. j.. May 1S.--
Although declining to so on record as
an organization I'm favor Of either the
White or Dill radio bills, the majority
Of radio manufacturers and dealers
represented at the annual convention
Of the Radio Manufacturers Associa-
ton are anxious that the White bill,
continuing radio control in the De-
partment OF Commerce, be enacted,
according TO canvass Of the dele
gates.
In adopting a resolution regarding
proposed radio laws, the association
kept in middle ground and asked only
that Legislation be adopted as soon
as possible" The suggestion that the
White bill be given frank indorse-
ment was voted down IN executive
session. 1t was learned.
Oppose Political Check.
It was stated by several leaders of
the industry. however. that almost
unanimous opposition was voiced to
the committee amendment to the Sen
ate bill, which would require broad
casters to open their microphones to
representatives of all political parties
on the same terms.
Such an amendment, it was said,
would be equivalent to legislation
compelling Democratic newspapers TO
print front.page editorials indorsing
the Republican party, and vico versa.
Many Of the leading broadcasting sta
tons in the United States are owned
and operated by newspapers OF de-
cided party aft!liation, 1t was declared,

AGAINST COUNTY
SPENDING MUCH
C. of C. Directors Oppose
Courthouse Expenditure.

Chamber of Commerce directors
were on record today as opposing
any expenditure by the county for
/ the proposed remodeling of the
/ Courthouse. At a meeting Thurs
day the directors declared the is
suance of 100000 in bonds by the
county would "be unwise."
At the last county council meeting,
county commissioners ordinance for
authority to issue bonds for $780,
600 was denied. Councilmen re-
fused to approve the ordinance be-
cause the commissioners failed to
present any definite plans as to
what the Courthouse remodeling
would include. Robert Frost Dag
gett, architect, has been retained to
prepare drawings.
The Chamber directors believed
that eventually the county will fol-
low the plan proposed by leasing the
south half of the Courthouse block
and erect an office-type Courthouse
on the other half.

Peter Pan, Mr.. Drew!

After all these years, it was announced the other
day that John Drew, dean Of Thcspians, was abou;
to d0ff the sock and buskin. and walk from the
stage for the last time
Such a pronouncement did not seem unrcaso enable
in view Of Drews age. which is 70. and great re-
gret was expressed in the minds Of all who knew him
had seen him.
But it the report of NJ. Drcws theatrical
demise was greatly exaggerated. The news brought
from the great actor sturdy denial that he in
tended to retire from public life, that he would
tread the boards just long his legs would hold
up under him, and that he expected they would
hold up for quite while yet.
Drew is an actor of the old school. lie is a good
actor. He is ceverer at 73 than plenty of others
have seen who were forty years younger. We are
glad to- know that he will carry right on 1t is
understood that he is looking around now for play
to bring to Broadway this fall. Mr.. Drew respect
