QUICK ACTION

NEW YORK, Feb. 18.-Out in a Chicago studio, the william checked the heroine. with one brief minute left for her expiration or rescue.
 She gasped and screamed into the mlcrophone. A radio network picked up her sounds of anguish and carried them to the far reaches of the land.
 In the Manhattan office Of the broadcasting company a telephone rang. A stern voiced man said he represented a society which pro tects children rom abuse. Some are given temporary shelter under it's roof.
 That woman's screams are frightening our little ones" thun- dered the voice We want you to order the program halted imne- diately."
 What the public probably will want to know is why the gentle man complaining did not turn of the radio. And so do we. Never theless the obliging radio man glanced at the clock. It showed the program had a bare 30 seconds to run.

 And the radio episode went right off the air, as per schedule.

 WITH GAINES
Writer Finds Out that Stage Star Is Now Real
 Pie Maker
By WILLIAM GAINES

NEW YORK, Feb, 18.-Remem- Der Emily Ann Wellman? She was a stage star years ago.
 Well, she's now known as 'the apple pie maker of Stamford" Her pies are famous over the Connecti- cut countryside, and beyond.
 She prefers to be known simply as Mrs. Richard Gordon, wife of the player who is Sherlock Holmes in those radio addresses.
 The other afternoon she attended a bridge party, where most of the guests were people of the the ater. The game at her table was interrupted while she produced a photograph of her husband and showed it about.
 Not once did she refer to her own successes on the stage-which, you may think, is rather unusual for an ex-actresS. She seems wholly con tent to rest upon her new laurels as a culinary artist. If the show worlds spotlight is thrown upon her family, she wants her husband to bask in it alone.
 s'I carry a picture of him wher- ever I go" she said.

TEL. L.E:vISION FAN HAS NEW ISSUE ON FREQUENCIES
Has Lot to Learn When Beginning to Delve
 Into New Field
By c. E. BUTTERFIELD Associated Press Radio Editor

NEW YORK, Feb. 18.-The tele- vision fan who delves into the high frequencies to learn for himself the possibilities of picture recep- tion on those channels has a lot to learn.
 For one thing, high frequency or ultra short wave receivers do not function quite as smoothly as does a. broadcast set. "Touchy" is the right word to use.
 Purely from the standpoint of the amateur investigator, a nunf- Der of checkups made with the high frequency receiver show it is prac- tical in the hands of the compara- tive novice. It tunes fairly easily oscillates satisfactorily and gives adequate anplification.
 These tests were conducted on the contention that AC operation was the only one to be considered This method of power supply was found entirely feasible, with the surprising fact that the line noises picked up on the broadcast set were entirely absent The set was almost as silent in its operation as is the case with batteries.
 Tuning has to be carefully done That part of the circuit was se- lected with the idea in mind that sharpness would be reduced by combination of a series and a shunt condenser. Still it is easy to slip over signal. The range covered was from seven meters down, the lower limit depending upon the characteristics of the coils used. P In one checkup the receiver was operated two hours straight on one signal, coming from transmitter about IA miles away, without a bit of variation due either to fading or to the crankiness of the set itself.
 To produce sufficient signal strength, the circuit was a super regenerator, with the oscillator or variation frequency slightly above 100 kilocycles. Run as a straight regenerative circuit, no signals could be copied, while at the same time oscillation was uncomfortable.
 Tuned radio frequency was tried, but found to be ineffective at seven meters. Engineers say that the only way to build up amplification is to use the superhetrodyne circuit in addition to the superregenerator so that the signal frequency can be changed to one which can be am- plified.
 The tuning coil was in two sec tions, three turns each of No. IA wire, each turn spaced about a quarter of an inch The coil cir conference was one inch. One coil was placed in the grid circuit and the other in the plate of the de- tector, magnetically coupled to- gsther.

New Theory Advanced Re. garding Man Killed
 by Mounties

FAIRBANKS, Alaska, April 26.- The belief that Albert Johnson, killed by the Mounted Police last winter, after he had killed one Mountie and wounded another, was the famed Nation River Charley Creek Ghost, is expressed in a let ter written by Jim Taylor, resident of the Nation River community Yukon Territory, to Jim Newlen, of Fairbanks, but former trapper in that district.
 Taylor said Johnson's description tailed with that of the Ghost who terrorized white and Indian trap pers for several years. The Ghost roamed about the Nation River district in the summer months then disappearing in the winter. prob ably going into the Arctic. Taylor pointed out that Johnson was head ed for the Nation River region when he was killed. The Ghost was long hunted but never cap- tured.

 Tardieu Tunes His Ear
 A new Cabinet will come into power after the May elections and Tt will have only few weeks in which to select its delegation to Lausanne and fix it's attitude.
 But going on the assumption that he will remain as Premier, Andre Tardieu is keeping his ear attuned to Washington's reactions to the various proposals. Like his predecessor. Pierre Laval. he has already annouTsced willingness to lessen Germany's burden provided there is similar scaling down in payments to the United States.
 Significant in this connection is an item in the recently voted 1882 budget showing an income |of 1,a73, 100000 francs, roughly s46,- GOO 900, from separations above what France must pay to Great Britain and America.
