Tuning Knobs Aid
High SeLectiUity

Some notion of the way the man
ufacturers have aided the dialer in
tuning in short-wave stations on
their all-wave sets may be had
from an example
When the standard broadcast
band is in operation, eleven turns
of the knob takes the dialer from
end to end to produce local accu-
rate tuning.
But when you shift a short-wave
band where the stations are closer
together, into position by means of
simple adjustment, 62 turns of the
tuning knob are necessary to take
you from one end of the dial to the
other.
Thus the finer, more sensitive Sc
lection necessary for good short
wave tuning, is automatically built
into the all-wave set, making selec-
ton of a foreign station almost as
easy as selection of a local STAN
dard broadcast.

separate one station from another
close by.
1t must be borne in mind, too,
during this careful tuning that some
of the wanted foreign stations are
thousands of miles away and that
their signals may come in very
weakly at first.
Your automatic volume control
can then be brought into play to
enhance the audibility of the weak
station you sought and finally found,
and to keep it coming in strong.
Still another thing to bear in
mind is that the sensitivity of the
short-wave sections of your all-wave
set is so great that extraneous noise
will find its way through your set
unless it is carefully tuned.
Best results can be obtained by
equipping your set with one Of the
new type aerials which are being
brought out to aid in the reception
of Short-wave broadcaStS.
The makers have gone long way

CALL LETTERS
KEY LOCATION
OF STATIONS

All countries of the world have
definite blocks of call letters as
signed to them for use by their
short wave stations.
The call letters are international
in character. They help you to
recognize the nation sending out a
broadcast through you do not recog-
nize the language or hear the ex-
act location.
For example, the G block has been
assigned to Great Britain. GSH
would be a station in England 1t
is, matter of fact, one of the calls
assigned to Daventry, w and N
blocks are assigned to the United
States.
Here is list of international call
assignments that will be helpful to
you:

New DialS on All-Wave Sets
Designed to Simplify Tuning

OF course there is the standard
broadcast band on which regular
American broadcasterS are available.
Then you will find another which
charts your way to police. aircraft
and amateur stations.
A third will lead you to ships at
sea, South American short-wave
stations and United States short
wave stations.
And the fourth to foreign broad
casts from all over the world.
Different manufacturers have de-
vised different, simple little controls
by means of which to bring any one
of the dialS into play.

Skip Distance Is
Factor in Radio

The skip distance factor is one to
be considered in short-wave recep-
ton. 1t means what it says literally.
Short waves being broadcast from
a given station rise angularly to-
ward an atmospheric layer far
above the earth, from which they
rebound at an angle. Thus they skip
across wide areas to another far
distance, where they may be re-
ceived readily. Directional anten-
ma are employed to point the
waves toward given areas of the
earth's surface.

DialS on the all-wave radios for
1885 present an entirely new appear
ance and at first glance seem to be
an impenetrable mystery.
But a second glance will reveal
their now ilocycled faces to be a
marvel of simplicity pointing the
way for dialers to foreign lands and
hitherto unexplored mysteries of the
ether.
Generally speaking the new dialS
are divided into bands and when
the needle pointer is travelling
through a given band the set is in
position to receive certain very def
mite types of broadcast.

Remote control of the new radios
is being offered in more highly de-
veloped fashion with the new season
than ever before.
Remote control is the device
which enables you to get wanted
stations from your arm chair across
the room from the radio itself, and
to control the application and tone
from that same spot.
Or you can move the remote con-
troll device into an entirely differ
ent room if you care.

toward the elimination of eXtran-
eouS noise which for time threat
ened to defeat the popularity of
short-wave reception, but again by
careful tuning and proper equip
ment you can improve the quality
of your own reception.
The most successful dialerS, it has
been determined from a check upon
many, are those who tune carefully
and patiently.

Remote Control of New Sets

Remote control, definitely is a
luxury in the field of radio equip

when the comfort of an invalid who
can not move easily from spot to
spot, is involved by way of exam
pie, and the family finds it imprac-
tical to buy an additional radio for
the pleasure of the invalid.
With it, the invalid can change
stations at will from bedside.

Time Factor
in Obtaining
Best Results
Expect to Hear
Station That Isn't
on the Air.

UBL GHtO IACFe
International time is an impor-
tant factor in the successful opera
ton of the all-wave set.
For the station which you want
to receive from some foreign coun
try obviously will be in operation at
some different hour of the clock
than is shown by your own watch
here.
It is daytime in America when it
is night over parts of Europe and
vice versa, and that, in measure,
accounts for the fact that evening
broadcasts from Germany may be
coming to you in broad daylight
Practically all of the dealers who
are participating in the city-wide
radio exposition have pamphlets or
log books or simple guides of con-
venient kind, which they provide
for those who obtain all-wave or
Short-wave sets from them.
Clarity Time
These guides will greatly clarity
this matter of comparative time
with their maps and tables illus
trating the difference of time the
world over.
Generally speaking, the world is
divided east and west into twenty
four hours of time and for each
zone of time that you move east
one hour is added to the time at
home.
And for each hour that you move
to the west, one hour is Subtracted
from the time at home.
Thus when it is z a. m. in New
York, barring arbitrary local day.
light-saving regulations, it is noon
in London and 10 p. m. of the night
before in Sydney, Australia.
Practically all of the short-wave
radio logs which you will be using
in guiding yourself around the
world on ether waves use Eastern
standard time as the basis for their
logs.
Conditions Change
This means that the time given
for a station to be on the air is
United States time, and the time
against which you should reckon in
adjusting your reception schedule.
Because of local time traditions
in countries the world over and be-
cause of the rapidly changing con-
ditionS in the broadcast of short
wave, it is wise for the dialer to
note down changes of time of recep-
ton for foreign stations as against
those given in logs which may be
slightly out of date.
1t will not be long, if the dialer
does this, before he is on familiar
terms with the time factor in the
reception of Short-wave stations.
The time that the signal from the
distant broadcaSting station takes
to reach your receiver is SO minute
that it does not figure in any of the
time factors.
Worlds Other Side
One of the fascinating things
about short-wave radio is that you
can listen, for example, to a mid
night broadcast from abroad dur
ing the late afternoon at home. and
that the intimate glimpse into the
other country is coming to you in
simultaneously over distance of a
thousand miles.
With some of the best and most
sensitive sets on the market, all
general conditions being favorable,
it is possible to pick up signals
from the other side of the world
and to bring them in strong and
clear.

OKLAHOMA CITY, September %
The orderly development" clause of
the N. r A. code for the oil industry
was held unconstitutional today by
Federal Judge Edgar S. Vaught.
He denied an injunction sought by
the Government against the Eason
Oil Co. of Enid. Okla.
This court is OF the opinion that
that portion Of the code which is in
v0lved in this case was not even
authorized or contemplated by the
act Of Congress and would be clearly
unconstitutional If it had been. and
is therefore merely an unauthorized
order of the Secretary of the Interior
District Judge Vaught said.
If Congress can regulate and con-
troll the production of oil and gas
wholly within a State it can regulate
and control any other private Intra-
state business, and the rights of the
State heretofore recognized by the
Constitution and by our highest court
will be entirely destroyed
