Anti-NOise Driue Seeks to Gust
 sSMm-Nade Static," Foe of Radio
By c. E. BUTTERFIELD
 Radio Editor
"A. r. Feature Service)


 CHICAGO. Dec. 26.-When man devised the light socket receiver he took upon himself the solution of a real problem of his own making.
 It is the conquering of man. made static,
 While man has not made much progress in the drive against at mospheric static, he thinks he can master something he has created himself
 "Man-made' static, considerably different in tempo" from that gen. erated in the air, gets it's name from the clicks, the crashes and the miscellaneous noises and other disturbances produced by motors, warming pads, electric iceboxes, au- tomatic telephones, light sockets, doorbells and 50 and one other cleo tric shortcuts to labor saving.
 Probably the greatest offender is the motor, which takes many guis- es in household appliances. It is used to drive vacuum cleaners, oil heaters. washing machines, and whatnot. Most of the trouble comes from the sparkling brushes, whose blue discharge registers via the re- ceiver as a continuous series of hum like clicks.
 Any electrical device that sparks whenever a contact is made, such as turning on and off of a light, completes the list.
 Naturally, with the AC receiver connected directly to the house lighting circuit, disturbances will register easier than with the bat tery set. Not only are clicks and crashes that develop within the house translated into sound, but similar interference will come from outside sources. Even automobiles with faulty ignition systems will register as they pass the house.
 Engineers have tackled the prob lem by developing electric fil- ters. In the Leslie F. Mutcr labor atories as well as elsewhere, two types of interference eliminators have been tried out. One consists of two heavy duty condensers, with the center point grounded, to be connected across the line furnishing power to the receiver. Another contains choke coils in addition to the condensers to give greater Altering action. Its pur- pose is to block interference from motors and the like, and is placed either in the set power line or con- nected to the apparatus causing the trouble
 Such devices are designed to cover approximately 99 per cent of the disturbances. However, the filter ing action is not complete, although tests in the average household show them to be of value in muf- fling and reducing noises. As more of the novelty of owning receiver without batteries ito fool with" wears off, the listener probably will demand click-free re- ception. It will then be up to the set manufacturer to consider the in- sertion of Q noise filter just as inn portant in set design as the circuit itself.

Senators fairly new in their jobs, but intent on getting some action on the tariff. This legislation, al ways the main point of difference between the old political parties, still is in the making with long controversy in prospect and one on which the Democrats will go to the country.
 Jouett Shouse, who took over di- rection of National Democratic af- fairs early in 1929, with headquar- ters in Washington, made this clear in a statement issued at the end of the special session of Congress and in which he laid blame for the failure of Congress to act on the doorstep of the President.
 Prepare for Contest
 Both parties are preparing for the impending contest for the sup port of the voters. Claudius H. Illus ton, business executive of Ten nessee, new chairman of the Re- publican National Committee, is cor operating closely with the Sena- torial and Congressional Commit tees.
 MT. Shouse, who vas appointed by John J. Raskob, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, has been exceedingly active both in CO., operating with his party commit tees in the Congressional contests and also in issuing prepared state ments to the country on passing political events.

A younger lad with the ave- in- spring name of Larry Hickenlooper, delivers papers to the various of- fices of another studio, and he will increase his earning by enacting for time his real life part in Show Girl of Hollywood"
 Any inclination on Larry's part to become tenperamental as a re- suit, however, should be forestalled by the reminder of his immediate predecessor fate.
 The former studio paper boy, se- lected for bits in several pictures, became so unruly in consequence that he not only was omitted from future casts but was barred from the studio and could not even con- tinue vending his papers!

HOLLYWOOD, Dec. 26-Stray bit players picked up from here and there about Hollywood for minor roles in certain movies, are always wise if they continue their former occupations, however humble.
 Similar bits may not come their way for months, and perhaps never again.
 Oscar Smith, negro bootblack on a studio lot, did not "go Hollywoo3' when director gave him a chance to stutter in talkies for the comedy effects, and although he now has an actors contract on days when he's not acting any prop boy may get shine" at his same old stand.
 Nestor Aber, high school adoles- cent, makes decided personal hit in his role as Buddy Rogers" pesti- ferrous kid brother in Halfway to Heaven'-but after school hours almost any day patrons of a cer- tain steak house may buy a paper from him at the door-and perhaps be greeted with a snorted "Horses" if they try to kid him too much
 "Horsesl" is the boys principal retort to all Buddy's big -brotherly upbraidings in the talkie. This rather elegant way of expressing many things may make Nestor fa- nous in a measure, and again it may not But he's still a newsie and schoolboy.
