JANMNGS LONGS
 FOR MAIN STREET
Noted Movie Actor Would Spend
 Vacation There

Hollywood. Cal. May 2s R - Main Street. for which many apolo. gies have been written. is the thrill. ling goal of Emil Jannings' vaca. tions in America.
 The German film star is most anxious to make the acquaintance of the American small town and to learn toknow intimately the small- toYg folk of his native country = the United States.
 Jannlngs was born in Brooklyn. N. Y., but was taken to Europe by his parents as an infant.
 He was in particularly good hu- nor when the subject of seeing America was preached. He had just killed a happy ending. Moth. ing makes him so unhappy as a happy ending if he thinks it Is not logical.
 A happy ending for his first American film was photographed. but Jannings won his argument, and thousands of feet of celluloid were thrown away to make room for an ending which might be de. scribed as noble but hardly happy.
 But will such an ending be popu- lar on Main Street?
 Janninss thinks so. He believes Main Street is learning to like log ically unhappy endings: "naturar' endings he prefers to call them.
 T want to sit in the little small town movie" Jannings said, and look at motion pictures with the people of small towns. I want to listen to their comments and opin- ions, become acquainted with them and the things they like to do.
 50 many have told me: 'Ameri- can mentality s different It will not accept pictures that please tho European mind I don't believe it, There Is so such thing as 'Ameri- can mentality and European men. tality' in motion pictures.
 There are just good pictures and bad pictures. If I make a good picture, Americans will like it; Europeans too.'
 Just what portions of the coun- try he plans to visit Jannings had not decided. In any event, he said. the proposed journeys would be made by automobile. Nor would he go disguised.
 T am relatively little known in the small towns" he explained. T think I could travel quite casually here and there. I will look and listen and learn. and few will no- tice me-"

FINEAND'S GOVERNMENT
SEEKING RADIO CONTROL
Report Cites Attempt to Regulate
and Supervise All Air
Activities.

The government of Finland is en-
deavoring TO bring the operation of
radio appliances within it's control
and to regulate and supervise broad
casting and receiving activities in that
country, according to a report from
Minister Pearson. at Helsingfors, Fin
land, to the Department of Com
merce.
A new law regulating these activities
stipulates that no electrical appliances
for wireless telegraphy or telephony
be constructed or used in Finland
without official permission to cover a
certain period, not to exceed 10 years.
The law specifically states that radio
appliances are subject to state control
and that the authorities of the govern
ment are authorized to make investi-
cations when illegal operation or con-
struction of the radio appliances are
suspected
The state may require that fees be
paid for constructing or using radio
apparatus. From these revenues, a
special fund will be established for the
development of broadcasting in ac-
cordance with the decision of the
cabinet council. Violations of the law
are punishable by fine when severer
punishment is not otherwise ordain-
ed" Permission to use radio appara-
tus, where granted, may be withdrawn
from the offender, who may also be
required to forfeit his apparatus

THINGS TO REMEMBER

Many radio operators use too high a
filament voltage on the detector. This
does not necessarily cause any dam
age or result in distortion but rather
it wastes current. On rheostat read
ing from zero to 100, and with the
storage battery up to par, it is found
that the detector will operate we'll
enough with a setting of 10 to 20.
Above this it is a case of applying
too much voltage for nothing
The larger the storage battery the
less frequently it needs to be re-
charged and the longer the charging
process should be, assuming that the
charges are of the same rating in each
case. Recharing is not necessary until
the battery nears the point where the
healthiest portion of it is nearing ex-
haustion. This range is, of course,
much smaller for 20 ampere-hour
battery than for one of 120 hours ca
pacity, and thus the former needs
charging much more frequently. In
fact. it should be coupled with a trick
ly charger so that the owner will not
have to rely too much upon his
memory
When moving the set around, and
when it is necessary to remove the
wiring, always disconnect at the bat
teries first. If the job is done the other
way around there is a strong likeli-
hood of getting short circuit through
the crossing of wires.

LOUDSPEAKER HUNT.
Instrument Should Match Set for
Best Results.

Radio owners are missing a good
opportunity for still better results by
not keeping in mind the matter of
using loudspeaker which matches
the set. That the manufacturers
themselves appreciate the importance
of this feature is best demonstrated by
their recommendation that the buyer
of the set also use the speaker either
made by or recommended by the Sc
maker. This is not all sales talk.
1t should be remembered that 6
manufacturers first aim is to make
his set deliver best results. and he
would be shortsighted indeed were he
to recommend a speaker that spoiled
the set, even If he made the speaker.
With the many power sets it is i'm
portant to have a speaker that will
stand the higher voltages. Likewise,
1t is important to refrain from using
a high voltage speaker on set that
cannot feed to it the power 1t requires.

The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1927-02-03

When the American Basketball
League was organized in 1925. nine
cities took out franchises. Of the
original nine three have dropped
out and two new cities have been
added. Boston and Buffalo fen, out
OF the line after the first season
ana Baltimore and Philadelphia
supplanted them in the league.
This year the league opened it's
campaign with nine teams but
after the early weeks the Detroit
team, having been unable to win
q single contest In six starts,
dropped out. although requesting
that its franchise be reserved for
a year at least in order that eff
forts to collect a more formidable
group OF players might succeed.
At present the league Is prO.
ducing some Of the very keen.
est competition I'm the history of
the pro game. The second half
schedule has gotten under way
with Cleveland, winner of the
first half. being subiugafed in
Its first encounter by the i'm
proved Rochester five.
Naturally the high grade of bas-
ketball offered by the league has
attracted wide interest and large
crowds at the contests throughout
the circuit.
In the first half Washington fans
supported the Palace tossers in
numbers far exceeding those of the
year previous, while In a game at
Philadelphia an attendance record for
the season was created when 5000
turned out to witness the Quakers
play the New York Celtics.
The same week 1880 fans viewed
the two-game series between Cleye-
land and Washington in which the
Forest City troupe twice was victor
