some very appropriate gestures while
the toreador's song was being sung. I'd
often wondered the reason.
Oliver is very fond of America, but
he doesn't find 1t particularly exciting.
He thinks many things in Spain are
much livelier. Leaving aside the cruelty,
most of which he believes Is unneces-
sary, Oliver thinks there is no sport in
America to compare with bull fighting.
The danger gives 1t more of n thrill
than boxing or foot ball, and he can
think OF no other sport where grace
Jai Alai he believes, is much more
proves that all this talk about Latins
being lazy is merely talk. Only Oliver
called 1t bunk
He finds American architecture thrill
ing, and although he has been here for
years he Is still amazed at the flexihil
ity and color Of the American brand OF
English.
Oliver can work longer and harder at
rehearsals than almost any other singer
know. You'd hardly think II to see him.
He's slightly under medium height, and
the blacknesS of his eyes in his palish
olive complexion sometimes makes him
appear sickly--until you notice that every
move he makes speaks of q good stock
of reserve energy. He has a big shock
of curly black hair, and his fun name
| is as long as your arm. Julian Oliver Is
Just the beginning Of 1t. He likes 10
sing opera on the air better than on
the stage because he doesn't have TO be
bothered with costumes and makeup.

NEW FIELD is OPENED
FOR RADIO CHANNELS
Four Stations Will Send News to
Automatic Printers in News
paper Offices.

An entirely new field of use for radio
channels was opened when the Federal
Radio Commission, without waiting to
conduct the formal hearing on the ap-
plication that was originally scheduled,
granted authority to the American
Radio News Corporation to erect four
high-powered longwave stations for
the transmission of signals that will
operate multiple printers set up in
newspaper offices within $50 to 500
miles away.
The world Of journalism is intensely
interested IN this development, and
already one leading newspaper has
asked the commission for full details
of the system. The action of the COM
mission in granting channels for this
purpose is regarded as one of the most
important since 1t decided to allocate
short waves for radiotelegraph services
designed to compete with the wire
telegraphs
The radio news distributing organiza-
ton using devices invented and
patented by William Finch, will erect
the four lo000-watt stations at New
Rochelle, N. Y; Atlanta, Ga; Chicago
and San Francisco. From these sta
tions it will send out news reports
which will be picked up on specially
devised antenna and relay apparatus
connected to automatic printer ma
chimes in the newspaper ofhces.
The long waves of 95 and 80
kilocycles will be used.
This service, which may ultimately
do away with all or part of the leased
wire systems now used by press as
sociations and newspapers for agency
to-newspaper dispatching of news,
parallels the development of radio
facsimile services now being perfected.
BY means of facsimile reproduction, it
is hoped ultimately to be able to send
entire pages of newspapers by radio
from one city to another.

HAWAII RADIO-PHONE
HOOK-UP is PLANNED
Systems of Four Islands Being Con
nected With TranspacifC Link
Scheduled Later.

Linking the telephone systems of four
islands of the Hawaiian group by radio,
and thence via Honolulu with the
transpaciflc radio-telephone which
within a year or two will connect
Hawaii, the Philippines, japan. Ans
tralia and New Zealand with North
America, South America and Europe.
Is the ambitious undertaking upon
which the Mutual Telephone Co, of
Hawaii has embarked.
Just as radio has made 1t possible to
converse from almost any telephone in
the United States and Canada with
most of the telephones of Europe and
a large portion of those in South Amer
lea, the Hawaiian system has been pro-
iected to make inter- island conversa-
tions an everyday possibility.
Employing ultra-Short waves for COM
mercial telephony for the first time,
the Hawaiian concern reports excellent
results in fiye months of experimental
ton. Now 1t is asking the Federal
Radio Commission for authority to use
eight frequencies in the band from
$4,000 to $4,000 kilocycles (B.75 to 5.56
meters) for a permanent inter-island
service, which will be joined to the
transpaciflc system as soon as it is
completed.
That the frequencies will be granted
for such a service was indicated fol-
lowing conferences here between the
commission and John A. Balch, presi-
dent of the Mutual Telephone Co. Mr..
Balch told the commission engineers
that the islands to be connected for the
permanent service are oahu, upon
which Honolulu is situated; Kauai
Maui and Hawaii. He said that Hawaii
has pioneered in both telephone and
radio developments, Senator Charles H
Dickey having introduced the telephone
in 1878, or only two years after Alex
ander Graham Bell had obtained his
patents, and Senator Guglielmo Mar
conf having experimental with radio
there some 80 years ago.

OBTAIN SELECTIVITY
WITH ONLY z TUBES
Radio Engineers Devise System
Sending Signal Through Six
Coils and Condensers.

~ the Associated Press.
NEW NOTWITHSTANDING Of 3 super
type, the real secret Of the modern
radio receiver, is possible with only two
tubes.
DESPITE the contention of receiver
designers that at least three tubes. ana
more often four stages of tuned radio
frequency amplification are necessary to
obtain ADEQUATE separation of stations,
a system has been devised whereby
ideal selectivity was obtained with two
tubes.
The method was found to be ap-
plicahle to both screen grid tubes and
pentodes, although somewhat better
with pentodes due to their greater
amplifying quality.
The plan provides for six tuned cir
cults, but only two radio frequency
tubes are used. While there is really
nothing radical about the system, its
sharpness is due to the fact that the
signal is passed through six coils and
condensers before it reaches the de-
tector and amplifier.
Preceding the first tube are three
tuned circuits consisting of the ordinary
sntenna coil and condenser and two
other coils and condensers. One Of the
other coils and its attendant condenser
are connected in parallel with the an
tenna coil, forming a trap circuit. The
second coil is tightly coupled to the
grid coil of the first tube.
The coupling stage between the first
and second tubes consists Of two coils
Of equal inductance, one in the plate
circuit of the first tube and the other
the grid coil Of the second tube, loosely
coupled together. A condenser tunes
each coil, giving the effect of tuned
plate and tuned grid.
The stage connecting the second tube
70 the detector consists of full i'm
pedance coupling, completing the sixth
step of tuning.
This plan was evolved in designing
q four-tube receiver which has many
of the qualities of sets containing six
or more tubes.
Single control is not an impossibility
with this plan of tuning.

REGIONAL NETWORK
IDEA IS GROWING
Small Groups of Stations
Linking Together to
Present Features.
BY MARTIN CODEL.

An outeropping of regional networks,
composed of small groups OF stations
linked together for regular or special
radio features is paralleling the steady
expansion of the Nationwide chains.
One by one, the National Broadcast
ing Co. and the Columbia Broadcasting
System are adding new stations, the
latest N. 3. @. additions last week being
KTAR, Phoenix, Ariz and KFSD, San
Diego, Calf. Columbia momentarily
is expected to announce the acquisition
of all or part interest in a very prom
inent Southern station, which will bring
the total number of stations in which 1t
has direct or indirect interest to nine.
Marked Changes In Structure.
Apace with this growth, marked
changes are being wrought in the broad
cast structure as a whole by the de-
velopment of the regional nets.
First of the regional or special chains
to be formed was the so-called Quality
Group" centering around WOR, New
ark and WLW, Cincinnati. Later
WMAQ, Chicago and WCCO, Mime
apolis. were joined together by special
leased wire to carry programs originat-
ing in one anotherS studios Then
WNAC, Boston, and WEAN, Providence
we're linked together for mutual pro-
croft Maine
Each of these groups has expansion
plans. The AC-WEAN-WLB2 net
work in particular, proposes shortly to
add WHDH, Gloucester WLEX, LeXing-
ton, and possibly others, to form a
Yankee or New England network.
The advantage Of selecting territory
for certain sponsored programs has also
impelled five stations In important cities
to join together to form a special net
work whose program Is originating
weekly in the studios of WLW. Besides
WLW, the stations In this net are
WTANf, Cleveland; WJR, Detroit; WILL,
ST. Louis, and KQV, Pittsburgh.
New Network Formed.
Again last week a new network of
relatively low-powered stations, linked
in order to insure adequate coverage of
formed by G. L. Carrell, best known for
his portable broadcasting stations which
formerly toured the Middle Western
States. This network includes WPCH,
WOW and WEVD, which are Joined for
two hours each evening.
And now, possibly influenced to some
degree by the Starch report which re-
vealed more than so per cent of Pa
cific Coast homes have radio-s much
higher average than the rest of the
country-announcem comes from
San Francisco that plans are afoot to
expand the Pacific Coast unit of the
N. B. C. network by the addition of new
station members. The Pacific chain
comprised seven stations until KFSD,
San Diego, was added on June IL. It Is
sometimes known as the Orange net-
work to distinguish it from the Red and
Blue network out Of New York City,

Behind the MicrOphOne
BY THE RADIO EDITOR.

r. VERY detail of Rear Admiral
- Richard E. Byrd'S triumphal
return to New York this
- week from his 16 months
expedition in the frozen wastes
of Antarctica will be described to
the radio audience of the country
over extensive networks of both
the National and Columbia broad
casting systems.
Literally, Admiral Byrd will be
greeted by microphones. AS the
City of New York, the expeditions
flagship, and the Eleanor Boiling
draw close to Quarantine they
will be met by tugboats equipped
with Shortwave tranSmitterS and
carrying announcerS who will de-
scribe the arrival of the party.
1t Is not definitely known when
Rear Admiral Byrd will arrive, but
the vessels are expected some
time We dneS d ay morning
Throughout the day both broad
casting companies will devote a
major portion of their time to
broadcaSting the arrival and the
reception, which will not come to
an end until late at night. The
following day the party will come
to Washington, and Admiral Byrd
will be presented the National
Geographic Society's medal by
President Hoover.
What is believed to be the most
elaborate system of Ship-to- shore
relay apparatus ever assembled
for a broadcaSting will be utilized
to bring the description of the
arrival from Quarantine and fol-
low the explorers up the New
York Harbor to the Battery. Spe-
cial equipment has been assem-
bled by both broadcasting COM
panieS.
Columbia engineers have erect
ed three receiving stations at
points of vantage in Brooklyn for
reception of the signals from the
tugboat. The station reporting
the best reception will be used for
broadcaSting. All three will be
linked by wire to the main con-
troll room Of the Columbia net
work.
The short wave transmitted
aboard the N. B. C. tug will be in
direct communication with the
control room of its network. The
N. B. c., however, plans to use
new unit, mobile Short-wave
tranSmitter, mounted on truck,
which will follow Byrd's car In
the welcome-home parade along
Fifth avenue.
X 4 X
THE most elaborate broadcast
ever planned, both from the
standpoint of engineering mag
nitude and Importance of the
participants, will be attempted
Wednesday by the National
Broadcasting Co. The broadcast
will link the world power confer
ence in Berlin with the National
Electric Light Association conven-
ton in San Francisco and will
present as speakers to both groups
Thomas Edison, from Orange, N
j.; Guglielmo Marconi from Lon
don, Owen D. Young from Sar
Francisco and Lord Derby from
Camberley, England.
The combined networks OF the
N. B. c., five short-wave trans
mitters, special land lines and the
radio channels between the
United States and England viii
constitute the UNITS for the un.
usual broadcast. The program
will open in San Francisco anC

How selective in their choice
of stations and programs are
radio listeners?
In Pittsburgh, home of KDKA
and pioneer center of American
broadcaSting, a queStionnaire sent
to a list of residences selected
from the telephone directory re-
vealed that IL per cent of those
replying are in the habit of
tuning to a favorite station and
letting the programs run along
without change.
Forty-f1ve per cent replied that
they selected their stations ac-
cording to the programs offered.
The other Ia per cent were in
definite in their replies.
If Pittsburgh may be taken as
criterion for the rest Of the coun-
try, 1t is a fair conclusion that
homes having telephones gener-
ally have radio sets. In that city
it was found that 81 per cent OF
telephone homes are equipped
with radio receivers.
An average of 4.68 persons lis
tening to each set was found. OF
this average, 3.37 represented
adults and 131 children.
Sunday, Saturday, Monday and
Friday in that order were shown
to be the favorite listening days
Nearly SO per cent of the replies
showed listeners during the eve
ming hours. Sixty per cent re-
piled that they listened at some
time between noon and 6 pm
Fifty-seven per cent stated theil
sets were tuned in during the
morning hours.
HAVING done a business Of
$144, 100000 during the first
three months of this year, retail
radio distributors should approx
mate aggregate sales of $645 ,000,.
900 for the whole of 1880, the

with the figures for 1929.
Using returns from about one.
fifth of the dealers of the UniteC
States as an index, the Depart
ment of Commerce estimated
that during 1929 retail sales o
radio equipment aggregated $780,,
100000. This was a much mort
conservative figure than the esti
mate of $3.50, 900, 900 by Radio Re
