the Eastern High School, was award
ed first prize in the poster contest for
the Americanization School Associa
tion festival and dance to be held

New Loop Antenna Appears.
A new type of loop antenna that

barrel hoop, with a number of pegs
of insulating material inserted in the

on one side of it. The loop Is then
wound on these pegs. The advantages
a:e said to be a firm support by the
hoop, and the small amount of di

WEAF Broadcasting Record.
WEAF, New York, continued to set
the record for the country’s broad
casting stations in maintaining a
constant frequency during February,
the Bureau of Standards announced
today. WEAF turned in a perfect
score with WCAP, Washington; WSB,
Atlanta; WGY, Schenectady; WBZ,
Springfield; WRC, Washington, and
KDKA, Pittsburgh, showing an aver
age deviation from their assigned
wave lengths of one-tenth of one per
cent.
Cause of Poor Joints.
Most of the poor soldered joints
that bother the amateur radio con
structor are due to working with an
iron that is not hot enough. It must
be remembered that the solder on the
point of the iron should be hot
enough so that the surface of the
wire or soldering lug which It
touches will be heated to a tempera
ture which will permit the solder to
flow onto the surface of the metal
not simply stick to It In a pasty

send up to r.O miles, and the receiving
sets used in -conjunction with them

Derby Races Reported on Air.
Before even a small part of the
crowd that gathered recently at
Epsom Downs in England to witness
the Derby (the biggest horse racing
event in Great Britain), knew the
name of the winning horse thousands
of radio listeners as far off as India,
South Africa, and even South Amer
ica, had heard the news over the air.
No provision was made to announce
the news at the race course, so that
distance in this Instance had its ad
vantage through the mfcacle of radio.

RADIO AROUSES MUSICAL
PROFESSION IN LONDON
Slump in Concert Attendance
Blamed on Pooor Programs
Offered.
By the Associated Press.
LONDON, April 13.—The rapid
spread of radio broadcasting- popu
larity in England has hit the mu
sical profession pretty hard, accord
ing to a number of popular concert
artists’ managers, but the powers
that be In the musical world seem in
clined to attribute the slump in con
cert attendance not to wireless com
petition, but to dull concert pro
grams.
Sir Landon Ronald, director of the
Guild Hall School of Music, haa al
ready come forward with the state
ment that concerts must be bright
ened if they are again to become a
paying proposition. A number of
leading vocal artists have seconded
the suggestion that a majority of the
present-day programs are completely
out of date and that no progress has
been made in the management of con
certs in a quarter century, while at
the same time the halls available In
London are dingy and old-fashioned,
with uncomfortable seats.
While the reditals of Individuals
have always been more or less unre
munerative unless the artist had at
tained front rajik in his or her pro
fession, it is news to the nfajorlty
of the British music lovers that or
chestral and choral concerts have not
been paying. A number of promi
nent musical authorities already have
taken steps In an effort to entice
those who have strayed away.
PROTEST INCREASES
| IN CLASS B STATIONS
I
Radio Magazines Plan Fight to
Relieve Crowding of
Wave Bands.
Pour of the leading radio publica
tions of the country have made plans
for a Summer campaign to reduce
the number of Claes B broadcasting
stations, it was learned today follow
ing an opening broadside against the
air congestion published by one of
the magaztnes.
Intimations that the drive against
the crowding of the wave bands
would be launched were given to De
partment of Commerce officials at the
recent conference in New York, at
which the metropolitan situation was
discussed. The magazines, it is un
derstod, will urge a complete revision
of the present allocation system, the
j revocation of licenses from stations
which do not use their time on the air
and the refusal to grant any more
licenses for Class B plants.
Coincident with the beginning of
the campaign, the radio section of
the Department of Commerce has
started a survey to determine the
number of its allotted hours each of
the B broadcasters employs every
week. It is believed by officials, how
ever, that only one or two stations
will be found which are not keeping
on the air regularly during all or
most of their available time.
Store Conferences Planned.
Additional conferences with owners
of Class B stations also are planned
by the department, one this week in
Chicago aJid a second probably nc*t
week in. the New England district.
At these meetings it is hoped that
the station owners themselves can
arrive at plans for elimination of in
terference within their districts. Ap
plications for additional licenses also
will be discussed at the-se .regional
conferences.
In the way of discouraging pro
spective broadcasters from entering
the already overcrowded field, the De
partment of Commerce has ’done
everything but order the new
comers to stop construction. In spite
of this, however, there has been no
noticeable decrease in the number of
petitions.
It is understood that the magazines
will urge the calling this Summer or
Fall of a fourth radio conference in
Washington to consider a complete
revision of broadcasting bands. The
new uses to which the low-wave
bands have been put and the growing
interest in the higher waves are argu
ments which will be advanced in sup
port of their plea for another govern
mental parley.
ENGAGEMENT OF GIRL, 18,
TO MARCONI IS DENIED
Father of Miss Betty Paynter,
British Beauty, Contradicts
Report Through Press.
Br the Associated Press.
LONDON, April 13.—1 n a note to
the press today, C. H. Paynter says:
"Please contradict the statements
in the press that my daughter, Betty
■Paynter, is engaged to Senator Mar
coni.”
The London Daily Express last
Wednesday said it understood the en
gagement would shortly be announced
of William Marconi, the wireless in
ventor, and Elizabeth Narcissa Payn
ter, 18-year-old daughter of a Corn
wall family, whose father was an
intimate friend of Senator Marconi.
The newspaper quoted Miss Paynter’s
mother as declaring:
"Nothing definite regarding an en
gagement can be said yet, whatever
may be made known in the future.”
The Express commented on the beauty
of Miss Paynter, describing her as a
splendid example of country girlhood,
and said that Signor Marconi .had been
a frequent visitor to the family home
at Bosquenna, where he installed a
radio receiving set which enabled him
to talk from his yacht Electra at sea.

Some Facts Aboat Different Tjws of I
Superheterrtdyne Circuit*.
Fart 1.
The purpose of this series of articles
is not so much to discuss the now
well known principles of the super
heterodyne and how the principle was
discovered as it is to outline the vari
ous ways which have been used to
accomplish the end desired, namely,
of changing! the incoming short wave
into one of greater length or lower
frequency for most efficient amplifi
cation.
A very brief description of the prin
ciple involved, merely to refresh the
memory of some who have not given
the subject very much thought, will
therefore be all that will be taken
up in this article on the fundamental
theory of the circuit.
Frequencies and Oscillation.
Radio engineers before Armstrong's
time knew that the combination of
waves of two different frequencies
could be used to produce a wave of a
frequency equal to the difference be
tween the two. Fesspnden, it seems,
was the first to introduce tills prin
ciple into practice for the purpose of
receiving continuous waves by pro
ducing an audible beat note by the
Interaction of a received continuous
wave and a continuous wave produced
by a local osoillator.
The principle of the heterodyne ac
tion in connection with radio waves
is similar to the principle of beat
production in sound waves. t
It was also known that amplifica
tion at radio frequencies could best
be accomplished by the use of long
waves. Short waves of the type used
In radio broadcasting do not lend
themselves to efficient amplification
at radio frequencies.
Prinelple of Superheterodyne.
It was Armstrong who put two and
two together to make four. He rea-
UTILITIES BOARD DECISION
MAY SHUT DOWN WCAP
Holds Broadcasting Cost Not Prop
er Charge Against Phone
Operation Expense.
Radio broadcasting by public serv
ice corporations has been hit a blow
by a decision of the District of Co
lumbia Public Utilities Commission.
The commission holds that a broad
casting station must stand on its own
feet and that the cost of its installa
tion, equipment and operation is not
a proper allowance In fixing the val
uation of the owning company for
rate-making purposes.
This decision was reached in the
case of Station WCAP, owned and op
erated by the Chesapeake and Poto
mac Telephone Company, one of the
two broadcasters of the Bell tele
phone system. In passing upon the
valuation of tho company the com
mission struck out J 125.000 claimed
as an allowance for WCAP.
Officials of the telephone company
were silent today when asked if the
decision might result in removal of
the station to another city. “There
is nothing that can be said just
now.” on© official explained. “The
most we can promise is that WCAP
will b© on the air Sunday and Mon
day.”
It is understood that a study will
be made of the actual cost of the sta
tion during the past year in which it
has operated as a commercial station
to determine whether the sale of time
on the air can make broadcasting
profitable.

I soned that for most efficient amplifi
cation at radio frequencies long waves
were rejuired. He also reasoned that
the short waves could be changed
into long ernes by the use of the
heterodyne principle. The result of
his reasoning was the circuit to which
the name ''superheterodyne” was ap
plied.
The usual procedure Is to have a
locally produced oscillation act upon
the received oscillation to produce a
long wave oscillation for much effi
cient amplification.
The usual superheterodyne circuit
consists of a detector for bringing in
the desired signal; an oscillation for
produciing local oscillations to act
upon the received oscillation; three
stages of sharply tuned intermediate
amplifiers which amplify the result
ant oscillation at a predetermined
frequency best suited for amplifica
tion; a second detector for reducing
the signal to audio frequency, and
one or two stages of audio frequency
amplification to increase the audibil
ity of the signal.
Amplification Explained.
No matter what the frequency of
the incoming signal, the oscillator
can be adjusted to the required dif
ference to produce an oscillation of
the frequency decided upon as the
best for efficient amplification.
This Is the frequency to which the
intermediate amplifying transformers
are tuned. A frequency of 30 kilo
cycles, or 10,000 meters, is acknowl
edged to be the best for all general
purposes.
The fact that the radio frequency
transformers can be tuned rather
sharply, especially the input air-core
transformer, produces a filter system
that gives the utmost in the way of
selectivity.
In the matter of selectivity the su
perheterodyne stands supreme.
WAVE LENGTH ROWS
ON IN NEW ENGLAND
Number of Stations Appeal for
Leave to Change for Bet
ter Locations.
Having effected at least a tempo
rary solution of the New York City
broadcasting problem, the Depart
ment of Commerce Is now confronted
with a new outbreak of the "wave
lengthitis” epidemic, this time in New
England.
According to its established method
of treatment in other localities, the
department has suggested that the
stations involved first write their
own prescriptions. If this proves In
effective, it j s possible that another
remedy may be provided by the radio
diagnosticians at the Capital.
About the only New England sta
tion that Is fully contented with its
lot is WBZ, Springfield. W.VAC, Bos
ton, and WJAft, Providence, have in
quired as to the possibility of chang
ing their wave-lengths to more de
sirable locations, and the C. T. Slierer
plant, at Worcester, is particularly
desirous of moving up with the class
B broadcasters.
According to the files In which the
radio section of the Department of
Commerce places its interference
complaints, the ethereal congestion
in New England is perhaps worse
than in any other section of the
country. As a further indication of
the popularity of radio In the North
eastern State is noted the fact that
of the 37 stations which turned in
their licenses during February, none
is in New England.
As the first step toward quieting
the air. particularly around Boston
and Providence, and satisfying, as
far as possible, the requests of the
class B stations, it is planned to hold
a conference of all of the New Eng-
land district station owners at an early
date. Radio Supervisor Charles G.
Kolster, at Boston, will represent the
Government at the meeting-
New Station at Nicaragua.
The new wireless station at Blue
fields. Nicaragua, was opened by
the Tropical Radio Telegraph Co.
March 9, according to consular ad
vices to the Department of Commerce.
This station is located on a hill back
about three-fourths of a mile from
the water front and business section.
It has two steel towers, 200 feet in
height, carrying an 800-foot antenna.
The cost of construction, including
office, power buildings and residence
for employes, exceeded $60,000.
The Tropical Radio Telegraph Co.
has stations at Managua and at Cabo
Gracias a Dios, and the Cuyamel
Fruit Co. operates two small wire
less stations, one at Rio Grande Bar
and the other at El Gallo. The Brag
man Bluff Lumber Co. at Puerto Ca
bezas maintains a private station.
The tariff to Rio Grande Bar. El Gal
lo, Puerto Cabezas and Cabo Gracias
a Dios, distances from Bluefield vary
ing from 100 to 180 miles, is 70 cents
a word; to Managua. 10 cents a word;
to Panama, 20 cents a word, and to
Washington, 54 cents a word.

Clear the digestive tract,
if you would relieve dizziness,
PI the dark ages of medical knowledge, people
didn’t understand that most unpleasant of af
flictions—uncontrolled dizziness. They blamed
the heart, the lungs, the brain—everything but
the right thing; suffered untold torture as a result.
Today, sensible people know that dizziness is
simply a symptom. It usually means that con

saturating the entire system with its poisons.
