Voices and Music From Can Covers
Mystify Building Night Watchman

FORT WAYNE. Ind, GP).-Piled hap
hazardly against steel I-beam in the
basement of Fort Wayne hardware
store, dozen or so refuse can covers
produced radio music without tubes
or other electrical aid.
Discovery of this freak means of
radio reception was made by the watch
man after several nights of searching
to locate its source. The music was
heard only after all radio sets and
electric apparatus had been turned of
for the night.
Despite the puzzle that the "can cover
receiver" presented, the explanation was
simple. The problem was solved by DR..
John P Minton, chief radio engineer
for the United Reproducers, whose as
sistance as a radio detective was sought.
Within a block of the building is
WOWO, a 5,000-watt transmitter. Mu-
sic from the covers was heard only
when the station was broadcasting. The
covers were near a steel I-beam that
extended from the top of the building
to the basement. This metal pillar
acted as an antenna.
NearneSs to the transmitter meant
that the I-beam was within modulated
radio field of considerable intensity,
with a large amount of radio frequency
current passing through the beam to
the ground. Tests showed that covers
adjacent to the beam or not far away
gave off the music.
THE current set up about the beam

LOCAL RADIO LEGISLATION
HELD INVALID BY COUNSEL
Commission Attorney Declares This
Function Rests With Congress
and U. S. Body.

State and municipal laws which re-
strict the hours of transmission by radio
stations are invalid, declare lawyers of
che Federal Radio Commission who
have been making study of local leg
1slation on broadcasting.
This is a function exclusively of
Congress and its iI1strumentalities," said
p. D. Spearman of counsel for the COM
mission. The commission has fully
covered the field with nine general or
ders. The license of each station con-
tatnS specific provisions as to hours of
operation, the violation of which con-
Stitutes grounds of revocation
An ordinance Of a city In the Central
Standard time zone requiring q COM
munication station to observe quiet
hours from pm. To midnight would
deprive stations on the Atlantic Coast
OF the opportunity to communicate with
1t from pm. to am and stations on
the Pacific Coast would be similarly af-
fected from 5 until 10 PM
Such Nation wide legislation Is be-
yond any conceivable power Of a mu-
nicipality. Quiet hours have been pro-
vided by some ordinances to eliminate
interference with broadcast reception
from amateur stations.
The freQuencies Of the amateurs are
widely separated from the broadcast
channels. Years ago the spark set OF
the amateur caused trouble. But new
transmitterS and new broadcast receiv-
ers have ended this problem. There Is
no need for local legislation"

created a strong electromagnetic field. y
Dr. Minton said, which in turn set I'D
within the adjacent covers radio fire.
Quency current modulated by speech
and music. The two currents caused a
mutual reaction between the electro
magnetic field and the current in the
covers, which built up mechanical forces
in the covers.
1.-THE covers we're piled together hap
hazardly and many air columns were
formed. When one stood near them
and talked in an ordinary tone, or
clapped his hands, the covers, reinforced
by the air cavities, which consequently
were resonant, generated a great
amount of sound They were, there
fore, responsive to any mechanical noise
developed in this way. The covers,
being made of iron, themselves were
resonant, mere tap of pencil causing
them. to vibrate."
DR.. Minton showed that it was easy
to get radio music by placing two covers
together with a cavity between them,
and open on one side, and then putting
the covers adjacent to the I-beam.

W0LINIST REFUSES
TO BROADCAST CONCERT
Declares European Radio Is In
strument for Exploitation of
Artists and Orchestras.

BERLIN LP)-Bronislaw Huberman,
vlolinist. refuses to play at concerts
which are broadcast because he re-
CARDS the European radio as an In
strument for the exploitation of the
artist and especially of the orchestraS.
My fight is not for myself, but for
the orches~as for which I play as So
loist." he explained Millions of peo-
pie enjoy the orchestra music when a
concert is broadcast, yet the artists
earn no more than a primary school
teacher in middle sized town. Their
economic status could be vastly i'm
proved and a standard of living worthy
of their high art attained at once If
their managers would insist that the
broadcasting companies pay on a basis
commensurate with the vast audiences
reached. So long as this is not the
case, refuse to play when there Is a
microphone in the room"
In most European countries the radio
is a government institution, and the
programs are under the control Of the
postal ministry, with listeners required
TO pay receiving tax.

JENKINS BUBBLES
WITH ENTHUSIASM
Veteran inventor Is Called
the "Happy Warrior" of
Radio Scientists.

C. Francis jenkins, veteran Washington
inventor, is the happy warrior" OF the
radio scientists.
The majority of the great engineers
who today are probing the mysteries of
the ether are soberly skeptical or coldly
cautious in predicting what the morrow
will bring.
jenkins, at 81, worn by almost cease
less laboratory labor for "a years, bub-
bles over with the enthusiasm of a boy
with new electric train. At 81 he has
learned to pilot a land plane-he mas
tered the control of a seaplsne at the
close of the World War-so he can
take panoramic views as he speeds
through the air and shoot them by ra-
dio to. the ground.
Television in Crude Stage.
Television images and radio pictures
IN their present stage Of development
are comparatively crude, and many OBJ
Stacles impede the path to perfection.
Radio vision from an airplane appar-
emily is faced with greater hindrances,
yet jenkins is undaunted. Anything
is possible in radio" he says. and starts
trying to do the apparently impossible.
Back in the sos he attended Earl
ham College, at Richmond, Ind. The
other day the college notified him that
he was to be given the degree Of doctor
of science.
He stepped into his new radio-vision
plane and, accompanied by his wife and
brother, made the trip to Richmond over
the hazardous mountains in PennSyl-
vania in flve hours.
In 1908 the same trio made the same
trip over the new National Highway in
one of the few gasoline buggies Of that
day. Mr.. jenkins, at the wheel, wore
big gauntlets and linen duster, while
large rocks in the road cut through
chains on the wheels.
Also a Financier.
He is one of the few scientists who
holds position of responsibility in the
world of finance. He was recently
elected a director of one OF the large
EsIEks in Washington.
kfsex exploring the timber regions,
AAttle ranges and mining camps of the
West, he came to Washington in 1890
% take q Secretarial job. He resigned
q 1895 to start inventing. He now
holds more than 400 patents, foreign
ara domestic. AS far back as 1894 he
evolved a theory for electrical trans
mission Of pictures. About that time
he invented the motion picture pro-
jector. Later came the transmission of
photographs and OF moving pictures by
radio
In his laboratory he has surrounded
himself with youth. His associate en-
gineers and clerks look like college and
high school students, and their rela-
tionship is that of friendly family.
He has been in radio work for 16
years. and expects to be working on
something new in radio 16 years hence.

Speaking of the test, Prof. Brown

when, on one hand, we consider the
potential value of the radio for molding
correct speech, we grow optimistic;
when, on the other hand, we trace to
the broadcasting stations such faults as
our young high school pupils reported,
we are dismayed. I believe the average
person is unaware how closely we pat
tern our English upon that which we
constantly hear. Otherwise, how can
