"You ought to have a wave trap,
to be sure, but it isn't needed to-
night think this job is going to
be headwork more than anything
else"
Smith became deeply absorbed in
the job as the time for the speeches
drew near and as l switched off the
charger, but he grew a little un-
easy when l tuned in on WGAS so
sharply that one scarcely could
hear WHIT's preliminary program.
We'll just hold WGAS until this
selection is finished" I explained.
Then they'll announce, and while
the orchestra is getting ready for
the next number there'll be a quiet
moment in which we can tune
sharply for WHIT"
To his surprise the plan succeed
ed so we'll that when WGAS came
on again the two stations had
changed places so far as clarity
goes. While both stations were

A light in the garage the other
evening was evidence enough that
something was wrong with the ra-
dio. 1t was obvious Smith couldn t
get what he wanted over the air.
81 want to hear those speeches
as much as anybody" Smith ad-
mitted when l stepped into the
garage and told him that he was
missing a treat. "But how am
going to hear WHIT while WGAS
is on the very same wave length.
"That ought to be easy enough
to solve" 1 suggested. What do
you think you've got a radio set
for?"
Smith put the bottle of body pol
ish back on the shelf and switched
off the light. 1t was plain that he
was going to take me up on the
proposition, so l went ahead of him
into the house and switched on the
battery charger before he entered
the living room.
"The real thing won't come or
for an hOur or so, L explained
while we're putting our heads to-
gether on this proposition it might
be a good idea to give the storage
battery just two more amperes
Every little bit helps when you're
cutting out stations"
"That doesn't sound logical tt
me-" Smith argued. "The louder
get WHIT the more WGAS viii

low" l answered, "you may ge

prefer to have them both reason

using the loop aerial for directiona
effect and experiment little with
other things I have in mind"
This gave him a new picture O.
the thing and at once suggested the
advisability of pressing into use the
spare set of "B" batteries which
he always has on hand for getting
distant or difficult stations. The
The Winslow mail., 1926-01-08

only reason he hadn't made this
it would be useless, since the sta
tion he didn't want would come in
just that much louder.
Smith displayed a little radio
skill by not trying to hook up one
good "B" battery with one of the
run down ones. He just wired in
the good set and set aside the old.
Reception is noisy when old bat
teries are connected with new, and
that sort of inefficiency isn't at all
necessary When Smith is just
listening in on a local station he
can easily use up the old batteries
by substituting them for the good
ones for the time being.
The next step was to find out the
position of the interfering stations
and their mileage from the Smith
set. This developed the fact that
the stations were directly opposite
to each other which meant that, as
suming that the loop aerial would
pick them up, changing the direc-
ton in which the loop pointed
would not have altered the condi-
tions.
This looked like the last straw
/ but as a matter of fact it was just
one of the things that was to help.
1t led us to the conclusion that we
had better switch in the big out
side aerial and attempt to get both
stations as clearly as possible first
/ even if they conflicted Little by
little, therefore, we were reaching
a point where any cutting out OF
WGAS would have to be matter
of tuning.
Maybe l ought to have one OF
those wave traps" Smith said. 81
understand they're pretty good for
cutting out the noise from spark
transmitters and the highpoWered
stations"
Eyes, but WGAS isn't a local sta
} ton and if you trap it's wave you
will trap WHIT as well" l replied
The Winslow mail., 1926-01-08

supposed to be on the same wave
length there must have been a
slight variation. If a set is selec-
tive enough the finest of variations
can be detected provided one of the
stations is not a local
1t didn't take Smith long to start
splitting the stations as he had
previously learned to do in situa-
tions like this, but he added the
feature of plugging in the ear
phones temporarily so as to be able
to detect the values of the changes
he made. Soon he had WHIT so
that he could hear what was be-
ing said, and fading on the part of
WGAS helped materially. In other
words, Smith was actually capita
lizing the shortcomings of radio
transmission for his own benefit.
That's headwork in radio recep-

KERBY'S OFFICE
SOURCE OF MUCH
STATES REVENUE

New legislation providing for the
registration of titles to all automo-
biles owned in Arizona and for the
issuance of certificates of title
brought a deluge of work on the
office of Secretary of State James
H. Kerby during the last six months
of the year
The law, imposing the require
ment that motorists show their
certificates of title before obtain
ing a 1926 state automobile license
necessitated the issuance by the
secretary of state of over 10000
certificates.

shows that the regular duties of the
office are growing by leaps and
bounds with the growth of the

Eleven months of 1925 showed a
gain of 9605 registrations over the
entire year of 1924.
Similarly the fees collected dur
ing the first II months this year
from motor vehicles licenses total
ed $400,08415. Twelve months OF
1924 showed collection of $337,326

on 23,187, ,3419S gallons. The total
gas tax for the entire year of 1924
amounted to $730,846.13.
The 1925-26 Arizona Blue Book,
the most complete volume of in
formation on Arizona was COM

LeOpOld and Astrid

There are pleasant touches at romance and rem
iniscences Ct fairy lore in the wedding of Crown
Prince Leopold of Belgium to Princess Astrd o!
Sweden. In the old fairy stories, it will be remem
bered, the beautiful princess longs for a handsome
lover who shall want her for herself regardless of
kings or queens kingdoms The dashing lover
arrives under her balcony window on fiery steed
land all the rest of it.
Of course Leopold did not to Astrid 4
fiery steed, but he came by third class rail compart-
ment, and that his way of showing Princess
Astrid that he coming for her and not for the
pomp and glory and the circumstance of political
alliance. Observers say it is truly love match,
that the young couple thoroughly devoted.
What direct contrast to most royal weddings
most of them undertaken at the behest Of reignng
powers for political purposes! Usually it is case
of expedency, to bind in ties of blood two totterng
Kingdoms. How CHASTITY existence for both par
ties to such arrangement! Can it be wondered
that intrigues abound under such circumstances?
Such will not be the with Leopold and Astrid
we are sure. Everything points to life of happy
companionship and, if Astrd does eventually be.
come queen of the Belgans, she will reign with the
same grace and simplicity and good judgment that
characterize her daily life now.
At any rate, all the world loves lover we are
told, and the world extends to the newly welded
royal pair the heartiest of congratulatinos and all
hopes for happy. productive life.
