 Casual Conversation

New York, March Jp) --- New York and London have had tclo- phone conversation across the scn, as claar and casual as an ordinary fCross-tho-town talk, and new note in scientific achievement has been struck.
 A group of ncwspapcrmcn gather 1 nl in the American Telephone and i Telegraph offices in New York, talk cl almost 1 hours yesterday by wire 1 loss telephone with a group at the British general post office in Lon don. They were called in to prove the success of intensive experiments on for weeks past,
 The vent Commemoratcd the 5O,h Anniversary or the day Alexander Graham Bell procured the patent for his first telephone. The coinci- 0ence of the dates. however, was ac~ Icidcntal.

POWER INCREASES
ARE NOT FEARED
Cost to Ordinary Stations Too
= Great to Allow Damage to
Broadcasting.

Reports of five and even ten fold in
creases of power by United States
broadcastlng stations are the least of
the worries of the Department of Com.
Snerce at present.
Boosting the power used for broad
rasting costs money, and, except in
the cases of radio or electric manufac-
turers who are searching for a method
of national distribution of radio pro-
grams and are using super power"
FOR experimental purposes, is hardly
worth the expense.
The one-kilowatt station - or, at
best, transmitter with an output of
five kilowatts-is more than sufficient
to serve as purely local medium of
broadcasting, 1t was explained. More
over. the manufacture OF transmitters
of greater power than five kllowatts
so far has not been attempted except
in rare cases.
Crosley Plans Step-up.
Recently plans for increases in
power have been announced at several
stations, the largest of which is that
planned, by the Crosley Radio Corpora
tion, where 50,000-watt transmitter.
it is said, will supplant the present
5,000-watt equipment A suggestion
that the next logical step.up in power
from the 50.000-watt mark, which has
been used by WGY and WIZ, would
be to 100000 watts, was recently of.
fered by the General Electric Co., but
no actual attempt TO provide trans
mitter capable Of work with such a
power has been made.
A number of stations scattered
throughout the country are reported
to be preparing TO step their power up
to the 5,000-watt figure, the limit of
the general run of manufactured
transmitters. Other stations formerly
operating on less than 1000 watts are
expected to go to the one-kilowatt
rating.
Would Necessitate ;unking.
It was pointed out further that any
radical increases in power used at the
majority of stations would >necessitate
the junking of the present plants and
the purchase and installation of en-
tirelY new apparatus.
The present type of SO and 100 watt
stations, it was said. could hardly he
operated at higher power. and the 500
TO 1000 watt transmitters cannot be
expected to function efficiently above
those figures.

WHEN YOU BUY YOUR RECEIVER

The time to think of buying your re-
ceiver or of trading in your old one
for a new one is fast approaching.
Now Is the time to think about the
type you are going TO buy so that you
VIII have plenty of time TO look
around and find out the type YOU
want to buy.
OF course. as in everything else,
there are certain things for which you
should look in buying receiver Bear
in mind that, after all. the best test
to apply to a receiver is that of
actually having it perform in your
own home. You cannot expect
dealer to supply you with test re-
ceivers for a year before you select
one, but any wide-awake dealer will
meet you more than half way in order
to make a sale.
Most dealers have display rooms in
which they give demonstrations. 1t is
wise to have several sets demonstrat-
ed in the display room so that you
can decide for yourself the relative
merits of the various instruments
when tested under similar conditions.
Your selection of the best OF group
of receivers can very easily be done in
the dealers showroom. After you have
picked out the best of all those which
he handles. you can then ask for
home demonstration. so that you can
be sure it will perform properly in
your own home. Such demonstra.
tion of one or two sets in your own
home is easily arranged, and the deal
er will be glad to do that for you.
Difference in Cost.
The first thing you must decide
upon, as far as the mechanics of the
receiver are concerned, is whether
you want receiver that will require
an outside aerial or one which oper-
ates on an indoor or loop aerial. The
indoor aerial receiver will cost more.
but will eliminate the necessity of the
trouble of putting up and taking down
an outside aerial.
When once installed, however. the
outdoor aerial receiver Is usually
neater than the loop aerial receiver
unless the loop receiver has a, self.
contained or hidden loop.
1t is practically impossible to go
into a detailed discussion Of circuits
in this article. Most sets NOWADAYS
are no longer being sold on the basis
Of circuits, but on performance, and
then only actual test will tell YOU
whether or not the set will be salts.
factory.
Sets Much Neater.
Radio receivers are no longer a
mere collection of sets, batteries and
Junk strewn all over the place.
Better decide beforehand whether you
want just receiver and then figure
out where you are going to put the
batteries, or figure on getting either
one Of the self-contained outfits with
battery compartments or Ioudspeaker,
or a separate receiver and radio table
with built-in loudspeaker and battery
and charger compartments.
In the latter case the matching of
the receiver cabinet and table will
be an important item if appearance
is 10 be considered.
Also decide on your source of cur
rent. The storage A. battery is
still the most convenient source of
"A" battery current. With charger,
Ii forms good source Of current
supply for the IA circuit. The mat

INFANT DEATHS FEWER
IN FRANCE FOR QUARTER
Campaign to Save Babies, Aided BY
Americans, Shows Results for
First Three Months.
By the Associated Press


PARIS. August EFFORTS to re-
duce infant mortality in France. in
which effort Americans have taken y
prominent part, seem to be meeting
with success, judging by statistics
just issued by the minister of labor
covering the first quarter of 1925.
These figures show that while the
number of births decreased as com.
pared with the same period last wear
there was an appreciable decrease i'm
the number of babies who died. which
added to diminution in the general
death rate, gives an increase in the
population of more than 900. as com.
pared with decrease of $500 the
first quarter of 1925.
The actual decrease in the number
Of births is 4,34S for the three-months,
period, and the decrease in infant
mortality is 2.93S. The falling off in
the number of deaths, all ages. is
1905.
The number of divorces decreased
from 4,367 the first quarter of 1925 to
4,204 in 1926. There was a falling off
Of 5,517 in the number of marriages.
