RUMANIA TO OPERATE
new RADIO STATION
Nation Removes Ban on Receiving
Sets and Forms Company
to Broadcast.

Rumania is one Of the foreign coun.
tries to finally see the value of radio
and lift the bans established early in
1920. In September, 1925, this forbid
den activity was approved by the
government and private individuals
are now permitted to operate receiving
sets under governmental supervision.
Broadcasting>i Is government monop-
oily, however, although no station is
yet in operation.
The law provides for the creation
of broadcasting station by stock
company to have a capital Of about
$301,0 900. The state plans to control
60 per cent of the stock and offer the
public the balance. The subscription
to this stock was reported as slow,
but the final operation Of this COM
pany, to be known as the Rumanian
Radio Broadcasting Co., is believed
assured. Eighty per cent of the
100000 citizens of Rumania are
said to be peasants who would scarce
ly be in position to purchase ex-
pensive sets for listening. The bal
ance of the population, nevertheless,
are believed to insure a fair market
for receivers. Interest in urban dis
tricts was demonstrated within year
after the use Of radio had been ap-
proved, when 1000 licenses were is
sued. Today 1t is estimated that 1000
licenses are in effect, fully half of
them by amateurs who built their own
receivers. American receivers are
quite popular and have to some eX-
tent succeeded the German sets. A
wider band of reception Is required in
sets used abroad than is used in the
United States,

AFRICA OFFERED VARIETY,

The Trouble-Shooter Says:

Quite a number of persons using
"B" eliminators are troubled with
what they think is fading. The
effect Is something on this order, but
the cause is varying electric line
power.
A few of those radioists who have
had this trouble realize it is due to the
line, but are puzzled as to how to
meet the situation. The first step is
to know what happens when the "B"
current varies.
If the &c" current varied proper.
tionally with the 3D." all would be
we'll. In fact, in one of the newest
receivers &C" voltage Is made to vary
in accordance with the variations in
the power line. But in the average
radioist's set there is no such oppor-
tunity for automatic variation of the
&C" current, for the reason that small
dry batteries invariably are used for
this purpose.
When the line current suddenly
rises it becomes excessive for the
amount of ''C' blasting. The result
is the blocking out Of the broadcast
or a lot Of feedback characterized by
a humming sound. 1t isn't possible to
overcome the trouble by increasing
the "C'' bias permanently, for then
when the "B voltage IS lower there
will be excessive biasing.
About the best the average set
operator can do under the circum-
stances is to cut down "B" voltage at
the eliminator, through the conven-
lent rheostats and switches for this
purpose. This should be done when.
ever the line voltage is suspected Of
being on the increase. OF course, IL
some convenient way Of arranging for
q variable &C" voltage can be devised,
this would be the proper point for
adjusting. Usually 1t pays to use the
maximum line voltage with power
tubes, providing a proportionally
higher Co blasting permanently.
In tuning in there are times when
nothing can be gotten. Under such
circumstances, be suspicious OF the
excess "B" voltage or the proportion
ally subnormal "C'' bias. Decrease
"B" or increase &C." and reception
will be normal again.

Old Folks Say Doctor
Caldwell Was Right

The basis of treating sickness has
not changed since DR.. Caldwell left
Medical College in 1875, nor since he
placed on the market the laxative
prescription he had used in his prac-
tice, known to druggists and the pub
lie since 1892 as DR.. CaldwelPs Syrup
Pepsin.
Then the treatment of constipa-
ton, biliousness, headaches, mental
depression, Indigestion, sour stomach
and other indispositions that result
from constipation was entirely by
means of simple vegetable laxatives,
herbs and roots. These are still the
basis of DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pep
sin, which is combination of senna
and other mild laxative herbs with
pepsin.
The simpler the remedy for con-
stipation the safer for the child and
for you, and the better for the gen.
eral health of all. And, as you can
get results in a mild and safe way
by using DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pep
sin, why take chances with strong
drugs?
A bottle of DR.. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin will last family several
months and all can use it. 1t is good
for the baby, because pleasant to
the taste, gentle in action and free
from narcotics. In the proper dose,
given in the directions. it is equally
effective at all ages. Elderly people

INDIA SHOWS LITTLE
INTEREST IN RADIO
High Cost, Problem Of Suitable
Programs and Tax Hamper
Sales for Industry.

Little interest in radio broadcasting
has been manifest in India since the
Marconi Co. ceased to render pro-
grams, and probably few will listen in
until the new station planned by the
Indian Broadcasting Co. at Calcutta
goes on the air. Even after this sta
ton opens up, the development Is ex-
pected to be very slow, due to the pow
erty prevalent in most of India. With
the earning power of the individual so
low, there is little promise of radio
sales, which would be considered as
luxuries, and for this reason the pros
poets are not good. according to re-
ports to the electrical equipment divi.
sion of the Department of Commerce.
The question of providing suitable
broadcasting programs which would
please native Indians as well as Euro
peans and Anglo-Indians, is a serious
one. for the Indian music would
scarcely interest the others and vice
versa. Once radio broadcasting is
taken up seriously 1t Is believed that
the sale of American-made equipment
will be good. for American radio manu-.
facturers enjoy a good reputation and
compare favorably in quality and
prices with the sets of foreign make.
A large proportion of the residents
of India, especially the British sub.
jects, have a natural preference for
home-manufactured sets, that is,
those from England, when the prod
uct and prices are comparable with
those from the United States. Diff
culties in reception conditions are
found in India, as well as in other
countries, particularly from atmo-
spherics, for India lies in the tropics,
where static Is prevalent. November
to March is considered the best listen
ing season. Under the Indian tele-
graph act, the possession and use Of
radio apparatus, either transmission
or receiving, is permissible only with
an official license. The fee for listen.
] ing in, per annum, is 10 rupees.

Owner of Station
Is Using Antenna
Plated With Gold

Lawrence Mott, owner of sta
ton KFWO, at Avalon, Calf, is
reported to have the most expen-
sive antenna in the world, and he
claims it is worth the price, but
fails to report the cost. It is gold
plated with 24-carat gold.
The wire used is No. a, soft
drawn copper, 600 feet in length.
This was given a double plating of
silver before the gold plate was
applied and then covered with
Japan lacquer. The idea is to pre-
vent corrosion which took place
when he used ordinary copper an
tenna wire even when it was var
nished. With the new highly fin
ished aerial, he says, it is merely
necessary to lower it once a month,
wipe it off and apply vaseline.

NOW "POWER SPEAKER. "
Former Term for Radio Equipment
Held Antiouated.

It is evident from survey of the
new radio equipment for the year that
the term loud speaker is somewhat
antiquated. The newer form, and the
more modern. is ''power speaker"
This is the logical outgrowth of in
creased interest and experimentation
in power equipment for radios.
These power speakers are all that
the name implies. They involve the
use of the most approved type of
speaker unit in combination with power
amplifiers operated directly from the
electric light circuit Usually they
are cone type speaker, although in
the equipment the appearance of the
cone may be submerged because of the
form of the cabinet or box in which
the combined amplifier and speaker Is
housed.

DELEGATES TO STUDY
RADIO PARLEY VOTES
United States Appoints Committee
of Three to Deliberate on
Ballots of Powers.

While it is likely that the question
of how many votes each signatory
power is allowed at the Forthcoming
International Radiotelegraph Confer
ence will not be decided until the first
open meeting, a committee Of three
United States delegates has been ap-
pointed by the State Department to
dis@uss the question. The committee

chairman; Judge Stephen ]. Davis of
New York. both delegates. and Assist
ant Solicitor w. Il. Valance of the
State Department: alternate for As
sistant Secretary Castle.
The question of how many votes
each adhearing government has is
stated in the 1912 draft of the radio
telegraph convention, still in force,
and the maximum Is limited to six
votes IL the country also represents
its colonies, protectorates or permis-
sion, otherwise but one vote. Under
the old pre-war conditions the United
s ties. Great Britain, France, Russia
and Germany were entitled to six
votes each. AT that time votes were
allotet Germany on account of her
possession in East and Southwest
Africa and other possessions. but since
the war Germany has no colonies
S%eAoCu
in the International Telegra Nh Union.
Now, however. this country announces
that since her interests are as extern
sive in wireless as the other powers,
she is deirous of having a parity with
the six-vote nations. Russia is out
of this conference. not being recogniz-
ed by the host. the United States.
Italy. the Netherlands and Portu-
gal each rate three votes; Spain. Japan
and Belgium, two each, and the others
but single vote.
In view of the reading of article IL
of the present convention, 1t appears
as If Germany could not be granted
more than one vote If she is without
territories or outside possessions, but
the same article states that what con-
stitutes country or a government
may be determined by subsequent con.
ferences.

RADIO GAINS IN BURMA.
Of Two Clubs in Ran
goon Stimulates Interest.

Since the formation of two radio
clubs in Rangoon interest in radio
broadcasting has increased somewhat
according to advices from the Ameri-
can consul at Rangoon, Burma. Up
to about three years ago, however,
little interest was manifest through
out Burma, despite it's population of
some thirteen million people, and the
fact that their standards Of living are
somewhat higher than in India proper.
With the organization of the Burma
Radio Club and the Burma Wireless
Club in 1924, and their attempts to
secure licenses to broadcast, it became
evident that an amalgamation was
necessary. This was finally accomp-
lished, and today the Burma Radio
Club operates the sole broadcast sta
ton.
