Moonlight A Radio Wrecker Moonlight, a commodity generally believed to worry nobody but the writers of popular songs, today was revealed in a new role as a radio wrecker. Preliminary teste for the national survey of foding and static to be con ducted by the Stewart-Warner Speed ometer Corporation in cooperation with Northwestern University, Depart ment of Physics, on the nights of February 9, 10 and 11 from 8 to 11 central standard time, brought unex pected reports on the insidious ac tivities of the moon Published reports of private inqolr-1 ies into the causes of disturbances that prevent good radio reception so far have dealt with the manner In which atmospheric conditions are changed by son spots, comets and eclipses Even the aurora borealis ha* been investigated, but it has nevei been suggested that the phases of the moon might have anything to do with the adenoidal performance of distant sopranos. R. C. Themen, an electrical engin eer, of Chicago, today forwarded to J. K. Smith, director of the national Sat-fteate. a report covering a period <* eighteen month«. He suggested «bat it be investigated during the Febru ary teste and possibly at other times, during the year. quit« accidentally that distance reeap tfen was almost impossible on a night when «he moon was full and high In sky", said Mr, Tberrien ht his re port.

Each silent night I made careful note of recep tion conditions and lunar phases ana gradually I built up the evidence to show that my supposition was at lea«, worthy of further investigation. "I discovered that during the sum mer we frequently had nights free from static, despite warm, sultry weather. Invariably, such nights were those when the moon was in the first or last quarter. I discovered also that many nights which began with the atmosphere perfectly "dead", so fat as radio reception was concerned, showed marked improvement later Ii. the night when the moon had gone closer to the horizon. "The night of December 28th of last year was a typical one. The air was crisp, cold and clear and there was no appreciable moisture, in spite of which it was impossible to pick up any but the most powerful distant stations and very few of those. The moon was just approaching fullness. <S X t ÿ f I 'I I EjlJ V È 1 /^ROWING children need and like good things to cat. Good cake is healthful, nutritious and easily di gested.

After midnight conditions improved and continued to get better util just before daylight when every thing went dead again. I have noted similar conditions virtually every Monday night when the moon was full or high. "I am not attempting to draw def inite conclusions from my observa tions, the record of which is enclosed herewith. But I do believe the result» are sufficiently interesting and of suf flcient importance to the radio public to warrant an investigation of lunar influences on s comprehensive scale." As a result of this letter, Mr. Smith sent out notices to the 4,000 observers who will take port in the teste Feb ruary 9, 10 and It, asking them te make notations during the period ot the survey.
