AWAY OUT WEST
Away, away from the city and street,
Away from the tread OF thronging

That hurry and crowd, but never
know
The trails where a man may joy to
go.
Away where the pines are green and
tall,

SET IN OPERATION AIDS
TO INFLUENCE PURCHASE
Owner Can Tell Quicker by
Giving Demonstration for
Prospect.

Selling used radio sets and equip
ment is not the easiest task in the
world, and it behooves radio owners
who are trying to dispose of their oid
equipment in order to keep abreast
OF the newer things on the market to
remember that set in operation
always Is worth two in discarded form.
If the old set is working and is
bringing in stations. a prospective
buyer may be given a good demon
stration and can see that he is buy
Ing something more than mere equip
ment. On the other hand. if the set
Is knocked down and is not in opera
tion, the prospect appreciates that 1t
he becomes a buyer he must take a
chance on the possibilities that the
equipment will. not operate.
There is another factor involved.
This is radio enthusiasm. A lot of
non operating equipment fails to carry
with it the thrill and enjoyment of
radio reception, but if this equipment
Is in operating condition the prospec-
tive purchaser Immediately is fasci-
mated with what he hears and realizes
that he is buying something intangi-
BILE along with the tangible articles
In most cases the buyer of used
radio set is some one who never before
has owned a radio and is willing to
pay something for the novelty.

and Mrs. Marion Longfellow O'Dono-'

1t was Mrs. Burke who opened her

the infant organization of 1897, and
who gave literally of her time, AL

RADIO GOSSIP AND NEWS

Interesting facts regarding the or.
ganization and operation of the Ma.
tional Broadcasting Co., which fur.
nishes most of the big chain programs,
were revealed by Merlin Hall Ayles-
worth, president of the organization,
at a recent hearing before the Federal
Radio Commission. The occasion was
the defense of the frequency assigned
to WIZ and sought by a New York
broadcasting station owned by the
Peoples Pulpit Association.
According to Mr.. Aylesworth, the
company owns only one station,
WEAF, having bought it for 81 ,000,-
900 from the Radio Corporation, own.

station. Besides WEAF, the Broad.

thing as newspapers subscribe to a
news or feature service. In most
cases no contracts exist with these
stations, only a working agreement.
For the use Of its lines, the company
pays the telephone company about
$1,500,000 a year. This contract. how
ever. is not exclusive.
Two types of programs are prepared:
Sustaining programs offered by the
Broadcasting Co.. but paid for by sta
tons that use them. and the sponsored
programs, paid for by various indus
tries. The associated stations carry

the wish Of Owen D. Young, a director
to have Magazine Of the Air" estab

So far the programs, telegraph to!ls
and station operation appear to be

about $500 900 for it's first year. Mr.

The Trouble Says:

Damaging a radio set by careless
ness in caring for 1t may be an eX-
pensive process. / think radio owners
would do we'll to be more careful in
their testing and in their own trouble
shooting.
One of the rules l keep before me
is to make every effort to avoid
giving customer more trouble than
he had TO start with. It's not an
easy rule to follow, because testing
has a way of being troublesome to
any set, But the rule is important
and | recommend it for use by all
radio owners.
| found one owner, for instance.
looking around for loose wire and
using a screwdriver for this purpose.
He realized that If he expected to
detect looseness at connections 1t
would be necessary to keep the set
switched on during the test, but it
never occurred to him that il he
short -cIrcuited something he might
give himself some additional troubles
Of a far more serious nature.
For such testing it is best to use
thin silver of wood, Having de-
tected loose point. the soldering or
tightening should be done later with
the set switched off and no current
running through the leads.
/ often have mentioned the plan
of tapping a tube in order to prove
that it is simplifying. but some
owners overdo these suggestions
Testing at best Is a handicap to. a
set. and unless it is done with care
new troubles are sure to develop.
This is illustrated by the way some
persons use a hydrometer for the
simple matter of testing a storage
battery. They will draw out some
Of the electrolyte and then. taking the
hydrometer to the light where they
can read it. let some drops of the
acid drip into the sset where much

Pointers in Radio History.

Looking back into radio history to
understand radio itself to better adj
vantage has a number of points in
it's favor. Before the neutrodyne cir
cult came into existence. for example.
the superintendent was the only cir
cult that provided entirely satisfac-
tory radio frequency amplification.
The superhet tuned the signal to fit
the set, or at least the intermediary
portion of its amplification depart
ment. while in the neutrodyne the set
was turned to the signal. That hap
pened, publicly, in 1920. Most of the
sets now are tuned to the signal.

SLOW TUNING BEST.
Radio Operator Often Misses sta
tion in Haste.

There is much to be learned from
watching the average radio operator
tuning his set. If he is trying to
find an out-of-town station or one a
little beyond his usual range, he seems
to violate all the simple rules of radio
ana TO proceed on altogether different
lines than in the case of fishing for
his local station.
One of the most common mistakes
he makes is to assume that because
he does not hear a station immedi.
ately 1t is not on the air or his set
will not reach for it. The chances
are, however, that he has gotten the
station during one of those periods
when the announcer has asked his
audience to stand by. 1t is fact that
the slow tuner usually gets the sta
ton.

SUN AFFECTS SIGNALS.
Strength of Radio Waves Gov
erned by Spots.

Long wave radio signal strength is
affected by the activity Of the sun. Dr.
Austen of the Bureau of Standards
points out In a recent report of the
activities of the special laboratory for
radio transmission research.
Data and curves recorded in this re-
port indicate close relationship be-
tween the long wave signal strength
and the changes in the number of sun
spots over an 11-year period: signals
increase in strength with increased
sun spots, he states. Other periodic
relationships are also mentioned, but
they are not as well established.
