LAW PRACTICE
BRINGS FIGHT
Bar Association Members
Charge Movement Hits
Night Schools.
BY r. o. BAILEY,
United Press stan Correspondent

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Oct. IA. -
Charges that a Clique" within its
own organization it attempting TO
use the American Bar Association to
foster a college monopoly on legal
education" will come before the as
ISOLATION when it meets here in
national convention next week.
Precipitating the charges is
movement within the bar associa-
ton to make two years of college
work a requirement for law school
entrance, thus "outlawing" night
and part-time law schools.
The charges have been filed with
the executive committee of the bar
association, the United Press has
learned, upon reliable authority.
They will be presented to the con-
vention by Gleason l.. Archer, Bos-
ton author, educator and lawyer.
Organizer Is Attacked
Members who are filing the
charges will ask for the removal
of H. Claude Horack of Iowa City,
salaried organizer of the associa-
ton. They also plan to ask the
Withholding of bar association funds
from Horack and two other officers
of the section of legal education.
The two other members coming
under fire are William Draper
Lewis of Philadelphia, chairman,
and John B. Sanborn, of Madison,
Wis, secretary treasurer of the legal
education division.
Fight Is Expected
Archer will air the charges in
paper on Facts and implications
of College Monopoly of Legal Ed
ucation," which he will read on the
opening day of the convention. Its
presentation is expected to call forth
spirited fight from its opponents.
The legal education division Off
GERS are accused in the charges as
being simply propaganda spreading
members of the Association of
American Law Schools"
They have made members of
the American Bar Association VIC
TINS of one of the most cleverly
executed plots that ever has been
perpetrated upon a national organi-
zation,' the charges allege.

COURSE INDICATOR
FOR PLANES TESTED
Bureau of Standards Visual De-
vice for Use With Radio Beacon
Declared Success.

The visual course indicator for air
planes, designed by the Bureau OF Stand
ards for use in connection with the
radio beacon system, will function re-
markedly WELL even when a large
amount of interference from the engine
ignition is present, experiments have
shown.
The visual indicator, which oper-
ates from the output of a received tuned
to the radio beacon, indicates whether
or not the airplane is flying on Specl-
fed course and. If not, to which side and
cation is given by the relative amplitude
the pilot of his position.
In the tests a receiver and visual
indicator were installed in a plane hav-
ing little shielding When using ten
foot trailing wire antenna the ignition
interference was SO great as to mask
the beacon signals when listening in
telephone receivers even when only five
miles from the beacon.
On the other hand, the reed indicator
worked satisfactorily until the airplane
was approximately 35 miles from the
beacon. A slight fluttering of the reed
was then observed caused by the over
loading of the receiver by the ignition
interference, since the Sensitivity of the
set was increased as the distance from
the beacon increased.
These results showed that the nor
NAL operation of the reed indicator
was obtained so long as the interference
was not more than six times as strong
as the beacon signal, the engineers say.

Radio Answers

Representative questions are selected
each week from the queries OF radio
fans and will be answered collectively
through this series by leading radio
engineers. In this way most accurate
and authoritative solutions to everyday
radio problems are assured to our read
ers. The engineer who answers the
questions is DR.. Alfred M. Goldsmith.
The question: viii a power tube i'm
prove any type of receiving set? Are @
batteries required for output tubes? Is
an output transformer required with
power tubes?
The answer is in the Affirmative, and
for two principal reasons: In the first
place, if a radio receiver does not have
a power valve as its output tube" 1t
uses what is known as q general pur-
pose tube" for the output stage. All
general purpose tubes have such plate
impedance value that it is not possible
to make transformers which will oper-
ste with them to give as faithful re-
production as can be obtained with
power tubes. Lower plate impedance
values in the output tube are necessary
to match well with transformers OF rea-
Dnable size and cost.
Low Plate Impedance.
For these reasons the outstanding and
fundamental characteristic OF Satisfac-
tory output tubes, or power tubes" Is
their lower plate impedance.
In the second place, loud speakers
have certain Sensitivity, and require q
definite amount of power to operate
them with full volume of sound. Now
adays listeners desire a considerable
volume of sound from the loud speaker
in order that striking and dramatic eff
fectS can be obtained in the climax OF
an orchestral production and in order
that reproduced music may satiSfac-
torily override incidental sounds, for
example, street noises which drift into
the residence of the listener. The power
which is required to operate q loud
speaker must come from the output
tube, which, therefore, must be capable
Of delivering such power without dis
tortion. The output tube must there
fore be powerful one, which means
that It requires plenty of voltage and
current to operate it.
Loud Volume Obtained.
Therefore, with a power tube, loud
volume is obtainable without distortion
being introduced by the last tube, which
distortion would be produced If the tube
were not powerful and therefore were
overloaded in the loud passage of music
or speech.
&C. batteries or grid blasting voltage
are required because the design OF a
power tube is such that the grid must
have relatively high voltage applied to
it. So the higher the power of the tube
the higher must be the applied grid
voltage to get full output volume.
This voltage may be obtained either
from dry batteries or from a power
supply unit properly arranged for such
use.
Receivers designed for operation on
power supply lines can obtain their GRID
voltage from the voltage dropped across
a resistor through which direct current
Is passing.

SH0RT-WAvE RADIO
SET is EXPLAINED
Design of Receiver Follows Trail
of Brother" the Broad
cast Model.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, January 5.-Design OF
the short wave receiver is following
the trail beaten by its older brother
the broadcast set.
The regenerative circuit first was used
to bring in signals under 200 meters,
but the tendency now is toward the
use of tuned radio frequency amplifl-
cation, with the shield grid tube given
the preference In the first socket. The
detector remains regenerative in most
instances.
Evolution of the broadcast receiver
was similar. Early models were based
upon regeneration until tuned radio fire.
quency was adopted as being more
stable.
While broadcast sets employ more
than a single RI stage. most of the
new short-wave models do not go be-
yond one step. Drawbacks to a greater
number are the need of several coil:
to cover the short-wave bands and diff
culties encountered in the design o.
sets using a large number of RI stages
Construction of satisfactory RI set,
to work on the high frequencieS ha:
been due to the development of tn;
shield grid tube. This non-oscillatinl
valve is much more stable under 2Ot
meters than COLA, although shield.
ing generally is required 1t has beer
given credit of putting the short-wave
receiver on a par with the broadcas
outfit in many respects.
The use of more than one RI stage
probably will not come for some time
engineers expecting the first develop
ment toward that end to be elimination
of regeneration in the detector circuit
for phone reception. Introduction o.
the multitude shielded set and of the
superheterodyne may follow later. The
super has an advantage over severa
stages of RF in that only two coil!
need be plugged in and out to change
the waVeband.

Missing Calico Dog
Sent to Broadcast

ASHEVILLE, N. C. P).-The
mystery of the disappearance of
Margaret Henniger'S calico dog
has been solved.
For days and days Miss Hen
niger hunted for the calico dog.
Then one day as she sat at her
radio there came the announce
ment that WING of Asheville
had adopted a mascot in the form
of a calico dog, and wished to
thank Miss Henniger for her gift.
She had left the dog on a desk
in a city hall office and some
practical joker had sent it to the
radio station with a note saying
Miss Henniger had given it to
the station.
Now the calico dog sits on his
perch overlooking the nicrophone
in the broadcasting room at
WING and hears himself talked
about. Radio fans are trying to
decide what to name the dog.
