In the Sugar Market
(Bv rhomson q McKinnon)

we're quiet, the market developing little
in the way of special interest. There was
more or less profit-taking by nervous longs

available at 3 1915 cents, cost and freight.
There now seems to be little doubt that the
production of sugar in Cuba will be con-
trolled by legislation and in view of the
strong statistical position II is likely that
the advance will be resumed.

The Why Of Wired Radio.

There is something to be gained by
looking ahead to newer developments
in radio. and in some instances it is
believed that there Is more to be
gained by this than by digging into
the fundamentals of the electricity
upon which radio is founded. This
clearly Is demonstrated in the case Of
so-called wired radio, in which the
frequencies come to the receiver over
telephone or electric power wires
rather than through the ether.
Wired radio is made possible be.
cause the excessive frequency Of radio
waves renders them incapable of pene-
trating to the center of even the small
wire over which they may travel.
Different frequencies penetrate to diff
ferent depths. This process is very
simple and considerably more under
standable than many of the theories
and laws Of electricity which may be
regarded as fundamentals, but which
are confusing to the layman.
Once one has grasped the signifi-
canoe of the inability of these higher
frequencies to penetrate wiring, one
has the thought that radio frequen-
cies are such nervous" forms of en-.
ergy that they cannot be expected to
linger for any great while in any part
of the receiving outfit. That is why

formers for the radio frequency

Of stations transmitted speeches being
given before a banquet Of the National
Press Club in Washington. Between
the various features. of course, the
pickup was shifted back to WEAF"s
studios for concluding and preliminary
announcements.
This constant shifting of the source
of network programs requires the
transmission of an elaborate system

actly. Operators located at the vari-
Gus pickup points must keep in con-
slant communication with each other.
for a few seconds of delay will result
in an awkward pause in the program
and a good deal Of confusion all along
the line.
An announcement was recently
made by Merlin Hall Aylesworth. pres
ident of the National Broadcasting
Co. to the effect that beginning next
October many features would be sup
piled to the company's networks from
studios in Chicago. This additional
service should accomplish great deal
toward the extension of the broadcast
stage. Red and Blue Network listen
ers will be entertained during the
course Of the same evening by pro-
gram features originating in the me-
tropolis Of the East and the metropolis
of the Middle West as well. Network
under the new regime, will
be better balanced than ever before,
since Chicago is at present a great
center in the entertainment and edu-
cational fields and one which Is con-
stantly increasing in Importance.
1t is within the range of possibility
that additional permanent studios will
be established at various centers
throughout the country to furnish
radio features to network audiences,
and it is assured that the broadening
of the scope Of the pickup of network
will continue. 1t seems a
safe prophecy that the time will come
when radio users all over the country
will be able, during an ordinary eve
ming of listening, to hear features
at many points through
out the United States. all combined
into a program which will shift rapidly
from one pickup point to the next
perceptible pause.

were about to hear a special program
for the benefit of the Red Cross food
relief fund.
The announcer then stated that
Secretary Of Commerce Hoover would
address the radio listeners from the
studios OF VINO in Memphis. The an.
nouncer introduced the Secretary, and
the change-over to the Memphis sta
ton was made instantly. Mr.. Hoover
spoke for IS minutes from the very
center OF the flooded area, from the
point which he was then making his
headquarters in directing relief work.

Chicago at the time. The announcer
stated that Mr.. Jolson would entertain
the listeners from the studios Of KYW

Another practically instantaneous
change.over brought the well known
entertainers voice TO those who had
tuned In one of the network stations,
and Mr.. Jolson's songs and stories oc-
cupled the remainder of the half-hour
period. Throughout the 80 minutes,
there was not the slightest hitch in
the proceedings. although some of the
special circuits which were carrying
the program both to and from New
York passed directly through the flood
territory.
Beyond the fact that all three por.
tions OF the Red Cross program We're
co-ordinated so that they fitted exactly
together, 1t is interesting to note the
manner In which the entire half hour
was inserted into WEA1"s schedule
for the evening. SO far as remote con-
troll pick.ups were concerned, the eve
ming was probably the most extensive
that the National Broadcasting Co has
ever carried out.

Looking Backward Helps.

So many new and improved radio
sets have come on the market that
when the modern radioist Is called
upon to operate a set Of older manu-
facture he often actually forgets how
to do 1t. The situation suggests the
importance of keeping in mind GER
tain features Of the past, as we'll az
developments of the future.
A case in point was where a modern
radio owner started to tune one of the
old-time radio outfits, only to come to
the conclusion that there was great
amount of interference with which he
felt that he could not possibly cope.
AS a matter of fact. the noises which
came from the receiver were nothing
more nor less than what it normally
produced of its own accord when i'm
properly handled. 1t was one of those
intensely regenerative sets, which re-
quire a certain amount of high-pitched
noise in tuning. Continuous whistling
was developed just prior to proper
reception from the particular station.
All this had been forgotten while
racing along the road to progress. 1t
reminded the radioist that in basking
too much in the modern he may be
losing sight of certain fundamentals
which can, and which undoubtedly do,
contribute definitely to proper under
standing of present-day equipment.

RADIO GOSSIP AND NEWS

Great attention has been centered
upon the fact that through the use of
network broadcasting, listeners in in
all parts Of tho country can be
reached by the same radio program at
practically the same instant. The
size and geographical distribution of
the network audiences appears a con-
tinuaI source of wonder. Yet the stage
Of the network radio theater is just
az extensive as it's audience, although
this phase of the matter has received
but scant consideration.

alter have been moved to the bound
aries of the United States, and the &C
complishments of network transmits.
sion indicate that this broadcasting OF

peare's pronouncement that "All the
worlds a stage" has been given a
more comprehensive significance than
ever before.
A notable instance of this extension
of network pickup occurred during
the Red Cross relief program trans
mitted a few weeks ago by the Ma.
tional Broadcasting Co. through spe-
cial network of stations associated
with the red and blue chains. Halves
OF this half-hour period originated in
Chicago and in Memphis. approximate
ly 500 miles apart. and in addition, the
announcements which were an essen

from New York City. about 700 miles
air distance from Chicago and $50
miles from Memphis.
The successful manner in which the
various portions of the broadcast
were combined into a smoothly run
ming 80 minutes was vivid proof Of the
present high state of development of
network operation. At 1880 pm, a

HARD TUBE HELD BEST
Type Offers Better Service as
Amplifier.

Since the value of a tube as an
ampliher depends to very large de.
gree upon the extent of its vacuum.
it is evident that a hard tube is SUI
perior to soft one for application
purposes. The term as applied to a
tube means the degree of vacuity. In
the case of detector tube. however.
II Is possible to use a soft tube, pro.
vided the set is sufficiently critical and
the operator is willing to take addi-
tional pains to get results.
Few radio owners appreciate that
even when a vacuum tube is acting as
a detector it also acts as an amplifier.
Because a lower plate voltage Is ap-
piled in the case Of a detector. the
tubes effectiveness as an amplifier is
less than when the higher voltage is
applied. as in cases where IL is not de.
tecting.

20 TYPES OF TUBES.
Score Of Radio Vacuum Devices
Being Manufactured.

There are being manufactured some
90 types OF radio vacuum tubes under
one trade name. This gives some idea
as to how many different uses there
ere for vacuum tubes. In this par
ticular make they range all the way
from the so-called peanut type, oper-
ated by dry batteries. to the giant
transmitting tubes which become so
hot in operation that they must be
cooled by water.
One thinks of the vacuum tube as
being confined to the receiving set.

Der of other phases of radio, as well

SATURATION POINT.
Radio Limitation Applies Only to
Use of Set.

There is a saturation point In radio,
but it has nothing to do with radio
sales or the use Of radio equipment.
The reference is in terms Of the opera
ton of the set.
Perhaps many radioists with new
eliminators have tried hooking up the
amplifier tube to the highest voltage
terminal on the device simply with
the idea of finding out what woulo
happen under those circumstances
That is when the saturation point is
found. II the plate current is too ex
cessive, variations in the grid poten
tial do not affect it. At best there
would be distorted reception.

Human Body as Conductor.

Here is a little experiment which
will demonstrate that the human body
is a fair conductor of electricity:
While the set is operating, remove one
of the speaker cord tips, hold it in one
hand and with the fingers of the other
hand touch the plug where the tip or.
dinariIy would connect. Turn up the
power quite some more than usual. 1t
often win be found that the speaker
operates loud enough to be quite
audible provided the room is quiet

Reduce Charging Rates.

The charging rates on battery
chargers can be reduced SO as to mt
them to new type of sets and to alter
their characteristics. If 1t Is desired
to change a 5-ampere charger into a
sort of trickle charger, charging at
the rate of only 2 amperes per hour,
this can be done by any experienced
radio man. -
