SAHARA SHEIKS EQUIP
CARAVAN WITH RADIO
Tribesmen of Desert Tune in on
Programs in France
and Italy.

The desert sheik is the most recent
addict to the dials and tubes of
radio receiver. according to reports
received in Cairo by Richard A. May,
United States trade commissioner at
that city, who arrived in Washington
this week.
Introduced first in the caravan of
one OF the most powerful sheiks of
the Sahara several months ago, radio
is reported to have become a fad
among the wandering tribesmen and
A number of receivers have found
their way from Cairo into the desert.
Reception, according to Commits
sioner May, is understood to be fairly
good throughout most of the year in
the desert and 1t is possible with a
tube set to tune in on programs from
France, Italy and Spain. Although
restricted for the past year in Egypt,
broadcastinS is to be carried on in
cairo in the near future and will
provide additional entertainment for
the sheiks and their caravans at
night. Only one station. working
without governmental authority, has
been on the air in Cairo, and the
range of the transmitter was limited
TO 80 or 40 miles.
Prices of radio receivers in Egypt
have been extremely high for some
time, but they are rapidly dropping.
according to Mr.. May, and a keen
interest is developing among the in
habitants of Cairo in the music OF
the air.

BROADCAST permit
SOUGHT BY LABOR
Chicago Federation Applies
for License and May Seek
Writ to Force Consent.

Formal application for a broadcast
ing license has been made to the De-
partment Of Commerce by the Chicago
Federation Of Labor. 1t was learned
today. The request has been filed with
approximately 800 other applications.
Submission Of the request has set
at rest reports that the federation
would defy the radio officials OF the
Government and launch Its new
broadcasting station on the air WITH
out first seeking permission. Such
course, It Is believed, would have been
followed by an injunction closing the
station and the fling Of a suit by the
Government which, in all probability
would have asked for confiscation OF
the equipment of the unauthorized
plant.
Now the federation has opened
way whereby if the license Is refused.
1t can go to the courts asking a WHIT
of mandamus TO force the Department
Of Commerce to grant the license,
together with a wave length on which

The 329.5 wave was one Of several
wave lengths reserved through
gentlemen's agreement by the De
partment of Commerce solely for the
use of Canadian stations. Until sta
ton WJAZ, acting within its legal
rights, took the privilege Of employ
ing that wave for it's own. no United
States station was opera ting thereon
and only six Canadian stations had
been assigned that wave, four plants
in Saskatchewan, which divided their
time, one station in British Columbia
and one station in London, Ontario.
All six of these stations were of low
power, the highest ratings being those
Of CFCT, at Victoria, and CFQC, at
Saskatoon, which operated on 500
watts.
With this division of the wave
length in Canada, no interference
was reported, and recently it was
found to be feasible to assign another
station. the 5000-watt plant being
erected by the Canadian Broadca sting
Corporation at Burketon Junction, to

Radio Tidbits.

It is true that you can buy ready
made receivers for less than it would
cost you to- buy the parts to build a
set This is due to the fact that in
many of the ready made receivers the
parts used are not of as high quality
as the parts which you usually buy
to build a receiver.
Ready-made sets come in various
styles and in different price levels.
There are some in which only the
highest grade parts and workmanship
are used and there are others in which
everything that goes into the makeup
of the set is portioned out to meet a
price.
1t goes without saying that you
cannot expect to get something for
nothing and the price of a receiver or
the amount it costs to put it together
is usually a fair indication Of the
worth of the receiver.
Home Built Sets Best.
If you are not handy with tools and
are not we'll enough acquainted with
radio values to determine just how
much YOU should pay for the various
elements that go to make up a good
home built receiver, by all means buy
a. completed factory-built set. If,
however, you are handy with tools
and have the usual tools necessary to
build a set so that you do not have to
add the cost of set of tools to the
total cost of a set, by all means build
your own. For a given price you
will get better set and you will
know more about it's construction.
operation and maintenance than If
YOU bought the ready made outfit.
If you do decide to buy good parts
be sure that your workmanship keeps
step with your parts. Slovenly
workma nship will handicap any re-
ceiver and it is too muctxto expect the
