WIRED WIRELESS SEEN
AS PULLING TO FANS
General Principles Based on Cur
rent Depth Travelling at
Radio Frequency.

How is wired wireless possible?
Many radio enthusiasts know that
signals at radio frequency are being
sent over electric power lines with
even more efficiency than they are
sent through the ether. but they are
puzzled.
There are, of course, many technical
considerations. but the general prin-
ciple of the thing is relatively simple.
1t all goes back to what might be
termed the depth of current travelling
a wire at radio frequency.
Take 60-cycle alternating current
(such as is used for house lighting
circuitsJ and 1t is found that this cur
rent penetrates the wires 1t travels.
going straight to the very core. This
slowly, relatively, that it has time to
''sink" into its conductor.
Take radio frequencies, however,
where the alterations run into the
hundreds of thousand per second and
which never are below 10000 cycles,
and it is obvious that the energy has
little opportunity, IL any at all, to dig
into the conductor. 1t simply travels
the surface of the conductor, and
therefore does not interfere with the
lower rated alterations which are
well distributed throughout the entire
body of the conductor.
Possibly it Is stating the matter
more exactly to say that the alterna-
tons Of low rate do not interfere with
the alterations Of high rate travel
ing the surface of the conductor. This
explains why the house current, or
power line, can be friendly to COM
paratively weak series of radio alter
nations travelling along the surface.
Even audio frequencies, which are
anything lower than 10, 900 cycles per
second. are of sufficiently high alter
nation to tend to cling to the surface
of a wire rather than to penetrate
through to the inside.

WIZ ADDS NEW FEATURE.
George Olsen and Orchestra in
Debut April 5.

Further proof of the importance of
broadcasting in the field of modern
music is offered by a new sponsored
feature, George Olsen and his orches-
ira, which will be heard Tuesday,
April 5, in the first broadcast of q
weekly series through WIZ. New
York. and the associated stations of
the National Broadcasting Co.'S blue
network, WBZ-WBZA, Springfield
Boston; KDKA, Pittsburgh, and KWY,
Chicago. The feature will establish a
new precedent in broadcasting In that

tionally known dance orchestra under
an exclusive sponsorship.
Under the sponsorship of the Strom-
berg Carlson Telephone Manufacturing
Co., the orchestra, which has been
augmented in the string and reed Sec
ton so that 1t numbers Is artist-mu-
sicians, will present every Tuesday
evening an hour of modern music
especially arranged for broadcasting.

The Trouble Shooter Says:

As sets become more sensitive, so
that they will reach out farther and
bring in stations with greater quality,
il follows that smaller electrical dis
turbances have more opportunity to
become annoyances. 1t isn't matter
of tuning out local interference, split.
ting the stations or other fine" ad-
justments; these all can be attended
to through the sharp and effective ad-
justments built into the set. What
may prove a source of annoyance,
though, is some interference that is
constant and for all the wave band.
With the growing popularity of bat.
terry chargers, battery eliminators and
the other paraphernalia designed to
make reception better, ] find increas-
ing difficulty with the problem of keep
ing these accessories from setting up
local disturbances that interfere with
the sets operation. There is no diff
Guilty whatsoever where sets are built
with all these accessories combined
with them, for under such conditions
great care has been exercised to avoid
any interference which might be set
up through sparkling or the straying
of eddy currents.
But the operator who simply adds
lot of equipment to a sensitive set
may not be thinking in terms of inter
ference. Particularly, if he is aiming
for neatness he is apt to place all
these devices too close to each other
and to the tuning units of the set
itself. The matter of interference from
such causes is so uncertain 1t is true
that the radio owner who arranged
the various devices most carelessly
might obtain the best results.
II is important to remember, how
ever. that all transformers land bat
terry eliminators and chargers are
basically transformers. regardless of
whether or not they are rectifiers, tool
create eddy currents. There is always
certain amount of induction stray.
ing around, and in the case of sensi.
tive receivers these can cause trou.
| BILE. A careful layout of the set and
accessories always pays.

The particular equipment which han.

RADIO SALES Squirt

RY HARDEN COLFAX.

Radio listeners and broadcaSterS are
not the only ones focusing attention
upon the recently created Federdi
Radio Commission. If this agency
which begin hearings this week, sue
ceeds in it's duty of stopping the pres
ent confusion in the air, manufactur
ers and dealers of the industry expect
sales to leap forward and predict that
the IL months after order has been re-
stored will be the best year radio man
ufacture has known.
The American public already is
spending more than half billion
dollars a year with the radio indus

in new sets, parts and accessories,
the increasing number of stations has
been an index to the growth of the
industry.
See Greater Growth.
Only about II per cent of the
people in the United States are able
to listen to radio programs at pres
ent and while residents of rural COM
munities have been slower to equip
themselves with radios than those of
the cities, yet the urbanites who do
not have radios are much more nu-
merous than the casual observer
might believe.
Although there has been steady
increase in the number of receiving
sets in use in the last half dozen
years, 1t is believed by producers and
dealers in radio goods that the in
crease will be in greater proportion
as soon as there is regulation of
voices of the air" eliminating the
more distressing phases of interfer-
ence.
Sales Reach $506,00O, 900.
Despite the essential fact, in the
present state of development of the
art, that major dependence must be
put on the nearby broadcasting sta
ton, there is something which impels
each set owner, at times, to try for
distance
A survey undertaken by the maya

retail radio sales in 1925 aggregated
$506, 900 900, the largest total in any

Short Circuits Likely.

If coil has been used in many
combinations Of sets and the set build
err has not been especially careful in
his handling of it, a short circuit is
very apt to develop. The following
simple test is used to determine wheth-
er or not the coil is working properly:
Attach the two ends of the coil to the
positive and negative side of one or
more dry batteries. For the final con-
nection, of course, there should be a
spark IL the coil is properly carrying
the current.
