Capital Heard in Samoa.

The naval radio station located at
Tutuia, Samoa, is reported to have
copied the radio signals sent out from
the Naval Research Laboratory at
Washington. Another long distance
naval record was established by the
cruiser Seattle while off New England
when her operators picked up the
signals Of the U. s. s. California
lying off the west coast of Mexico.
The chief credit. Of course. goes to
the California, whose signals passed
across about 2,40O miles of inter
vening land, but at the same time
considerable credit is due the oper-
ators on board the Seattle for handling
their new receiving sets.

To regard all music which comes
over the air as being divided into two
general classes-classical and popular
music-is to make a common error.
Actually, there is a great quantity
of music which neither is classical nor
popular. Contrary to apparently gen
eral belief, classical music is not elect
ed to that designation through age
alone. Some persons seem to believe
that any music which has survived
the test of time is classical" and that
all music which is currently favored
and of recent origin popular. IL
would be impossible here to outline all
the different kinds of music, as well as
the sub-headlings of the two general
groups, classical and popular, but per-
haps a few pointed facts will serve to
illustrate the point.
Under the general heading OF clas-
steal music there is grand opera, SYM
phonies, chamber music, concertos and
the better class of songs. A large
group of music which is not classical
is the hymn, including patriotic music
and the more serious college and or.
ganization songs Folk music falls
into a class entirely it's own. There Is
distinct type VI uluSlC hIloWH az
band music, a type which neither is
classical nor popular of its own ac-
cord, but which may be either depend
ing upon its treatment.
Under popular music there are many
groups. There are the current songs
and the current dance music. There
is light opera, which may be com
plete score, as robin Hood" or Vic
tor Herbert's "Serenade." Then there
is music from musical comedies, which
is not to be confused in any sense with
what Broadway recognizes as strictly
popular music.
The lyric song is in a class by itself,
figuring most prominently as encore
music on the concert stage, as we'll as
in the private home.
And this merely is skimming the
surface.

CARRY PLANS TOO FAR.
Radioists Cau toned Against Care
less Tres. tment of Tubes.

Much trouble in the operation of
sets can be trs iced to carrying service
plans too far. Take, for example. the
matter Of kee ping the prongs Of the
tubes clean. some radioists file them
ar believe that the job Is not COM
plete until the brass shows through.
This may be- all right in theory, but
it should be remembered that these
tubes have ii be put back into sockets
that have not been frightened to COM
pensate for the metal filed off the
prongs.
Tight contacts are important in
radio, and adical service on the tubes
may violate, this rule. 1t Is best to
clean the tube prongs with a rubber
eraser.

to the inexperienced,t like diagrams in
radio, are a puzzle ,i'n themselves. The
actual product is sc, much simpler to
the untechnical mind that it Is we'll to
note that the REASON why engineers
can read blueprfnts and diagrams
with such ease Is because they have
formed a close acquaintance with the

Radio ExpOl is Increasing.
Radio exports in June. which total
approximately $5sI8.786, while slightly
lower than the tot al for May, $606,233
indicate that this half year.; total will
pass that of last. year and probably
the total years exports will exceed
the record of 1925 by several thou
sands of dollars.
It is even estimated that the total
exports this year will pass the ten
million-dollar matk. Although 378 less
radio receiving sets were exported in
June than in May the total value in
creased $4,000. showing the increased
value of receivers at export prices.
