of the miniature apparatus had

the jumper cut loose the trans
mitter within 100 feet Of the
ground.
Although transatlantic flyers
seem to find the hop from Amer
lea to Europe more easily accom-
plished, it would appear that the
situation is reversed in the matter
of radio sound waves, according to
Alan s. Hunter and J. e. Sieger Of
London, who are making a survey
Of broadcast facilities in the
United States.
The English visitors based their
opinion on a comparison of short
waves picked UP in this country Of
British programs and a similar
pickup in England Of American
stations.
America they point out is able TO
pick up British programs with a
great deal more quality and VOL
ume than England has ever been
able to get the American broad
casts.

A new use for an electric motor
with air pump attached was dis
covered recently in the N. 3. c.
studios.
In a special program it was
found necessary to reproduce the
sound of an auxiliary gasoline
motor in a schooner. Several
means were tried, but none sue
ceeded until a studio attache
thought of moving a box contain
ing the motor and the pump close
to the microphone. With the
soundproof lid opened, the effect
desired was obtained.

Nils Radhe of Chevy Chase, Md,
who has had marked success IN
picking up short-wave broadcasts
from Europe and Australia, re-
ports that Station VK2ME, in Sgd
ney, will attempt another rebroad-
cast of grarnaphone records played
at Drunmondville, Canada, this
morning between s and 8 o'clock.
Eastern standard time. He said
he heard a perfect broadcast from
the Sydney station between the
same hours last Sunday morning.
E.G. Berquist, 1928 Corbin place
northeast, another short wave
fan, inspired by Mr.. Radhe's re-
suits, reported the success he has
had with what he describes as a
two-tube Junk box short-wave
receiver. Aside from a number OF
American short wave stations. he
said he has picked UP G5SW,

INCREASE IS SHOWN

Statistician Says Trend
Is Toward More.

NEW YORK, May 31.-An increase
IN the suicide rate in the United States
is shown by survey made by Fred
erck L. Hoffman, consulting statistician
rot the Prudential Insurance Co.
" sfThe rate in 1928 was IT'S per 100000,
the highest since 1916, when it was ID.
Although the present rate is below that
of 1908, when it reached 21.5, the report
says the tendency is toward a higher
rate in the future.
THE increase in rate is difficult to
understand says the report, lin view
of the generally favorable industrial
and business conditions of the present
period. But what is true of the coun-
try in general is not necessarily true of
certain sections, or particular elements
of the population, which may be iniuri-
ously affected by industrial or financial
depressions"
OF 156 cities studied, 88 showed an
increase over 1927. The 10 cities show
