of musical programs for radio dis

the first to deliver a program
based on the weather and the ele-
ments that make it. when they

The regular program features Of

LABOR LEADER
DEFINES POLICY
Another most interesting delivery
OF the loud speaker, which had
nothing to do with music or enter.
ta1nment, was the very straight
talk on trade unionism by Hugh
F,rayne of the American Federation
Of Labor on the early program of
WRC. There are few more able
labor leaders than Mr.. Frayne and
his very lucid explanation of the
1act that trade unionsm in the
United States is an economic and
not q political factor in national
life was most enlightening to many
listeners who have been led to much
confused thought regarding the
careless way in which politicians
speak of the so-called labor vote.
Incidently there was a brilliant
exhibition Of piano PLAYING from
WMAL by Charlotte Klein. We
use the word exhibition advisediy
because Miss Klein's playing was
brilliant, accurate and very speedy
but at no time did she realize one
iota of the poetry and romance of
the exquisite music she was play.

The Department of Commerce has

ELIMINATOR TIPS.

The 'B' eliminator viii not be
ruined if it is left going for even so
long as day? 1t should be switched
off when the set is not being operated,
as precaution against damage and
to save current. But there is no
need to feel that good money has
been lost should ones memory fail.
If shielding is TO be carried OUT
consistently there should be heavy
metal caps over the tubes? In some
cases the tubes are uncovered at the
top.
Automatic oscillation control is
merely naturalization. In some sets
oscillation is controlled by hand'
through the variocoupler knob or
other control Where the process is
automatic it is said that the oscillation
is neutralized because the neutralizers
control it in that way.

CRYSTAL DETECT0R USE
WITH NO MULTIPLICATION
Antenna System Is Held Most
Important Feature OF
Hook-Up.

When using a crystal detector ana
no ampliflcation, the antenna system
is the most important feature of the
circuit. And since the antenna is the
most important factor, its direction
will be a matter of importance If
specific stations are to be heard.
While it is a good rule to change
"C'' batteries whenever changing the
BIS" it is not necessary to do so If
the former deliver the right amount of
voltage. There may have been some
thing to discharge the BIS" alb
normally.
When winding coils, wind tightly to
avoid variation of induceance. A
loosely wound coil can be used for
specific purposes where, for instance,
it is desired to do some particular
trick with inductance or impedance,
but for straight inductance in radio
frequency circuits the tight winding
iS essential to best results.

DISSATISFACTION CITED.

Much radio dissatisfaction is the
result of observing how easy it is to
tune an expensive set and then trying
to tune an inexpensive one the same
way. The prospective radio owner
shops around and is given amazing
demonstrations in selectiyity and in
ease of tuning.
Just a mere turn of the dial, or the
station selector as it now is called,
and the broadcaster is found. Then
the prospect considers the price and
ends by going home with something
which is considerably harder to tune,
and fails to match the original idea
of getting everything desired just by
giving the dials a careless twirl.

The contract for the construction of

GERMAN CITIES BEST
FOR RADIO RECEPTION
cne Station to Each Community
Saves Fans From Inter
fereuce

German cities are perhaps the best
places In the world to live in as far as
radio reception goes. Usually there is
but one radio station in community.
American fans would relish the relief
from interference, but would perhaps
miss the variety offered by several
stations.
However, in most German cities the
very fact that there is only one station
enables fans to listen in with either
crystals or single tubes, saving the
expense of such sets as Americans
have TO buy to cut through tnterfer-
ence and pick out even a few stations.
This accounts for the fact that in Ger
many the use of simple tube sets and
crystal receivers predominates, wee
Consul Zawadski reports. German
manufacturers are, however, develop
ing sales for multipletube sets for
those who so in for distant reception.
In Bavaria interest is quite general.

service and about 500 individuals re-

cents a month for entertainment and

BATTERY ELlMINAT0RS
REQUIRE PRECAUTIONS
Use of Device Held Simple and
Safe If Suggestions Are
Followed.

"B" battery eliminators are simple
and safe if few precautions are OBJ
served,
Do not plug in the instrument 10
the house lighting circuit until the
rectifying tube has been inserted.
BE sure this tube is all the way
down. Some of them do not light, and
one cannot use light as an indication
that it is properly inserted. Take care
in this. for if the tube is not inserted,
and the instrument is fed to the line,
its condensers will be damaged.
Do not attempt to make any wiring
changes while the instrument is con.
nected to the house lighting circuit.
The high voltage post of the more
powerful eliminators give 1876 volts
| and over, enough for serious shock.
The eliminator may look well just
to the side of the set on the table,
but it should be at least two feet away
| from the set at all times for best
| operation.

k AIDING ELIMINAT0R.

Here is some good news for the
radio owner who has bought a "Bi
@liminator, but who has not been
cautious enough TO buy one with high
enough voltage TO permit the use of
high power tubes. While it is an ad-
vantage to have a "B" eliminator that
will provide 135 volts or over. it is
not necessary to trade in or scrap the
machine if it can deliver only 80 or
400 volts.
All the set owner has to do is 10
buy a IS volt "B" battery and connect
IL in series with the "B" eliminator
Battery and eliminator then can col
laborate in providing the approximate
voltage needed.
