Class C, this class covers renewals of licenses authorizing the use of 60 meters wave length. New li- censes will not be fssued to use this wave length. Stations preferring to continue the use of this wave length are to be permitted to do So.

The use of the 400 meters wave length will not be per- mitted after May 15, 1923, except by the station to which this specific wave | length is assigned under the new plan. Hereafter all government reports will be sent on the wave length assigned to the station and the exclusive use of the 485 meters wave length will be discon- tinued for this service. Stations now licensed to use 360 meter (now placed in Class C) have the privliege of transferring to Class A snd using 2 wave length between 222 and 300 meters, which will be designated by the radio inspector. Condenser Improves Set. The operation of radio receiving sets can be Improved by the use of & ver simple and cheap condenser connected across the telephone receivers and a similar one connected in series with the antenna, according to the bureau of standards. Longer waves cun be re- celved by the use of u simple type of loading _coil. il _is particularly useful in connection with single cir- cuit receiving sets, The auxiliary condenser, which i used in series with the antenna, and the loading coil nay also be used ‘when the crystal detector is replaced by an eleotron tube detector unit, or when an amplifier is added to the recelving set. The condenser used in series with the antenna makes it convenient to tune to wave lengths less than 300 meters. The condenser used across the telephone. re- celvers increases the intensity of sig- nals which are received from some radio stations. The loading coil en- ables the equipment to respond to wave lengths above 600 meters. up to about 3,000 meters. Time signals from high power stations can thus be received. The use of the loading coil also in- creases the receiving distance of the equipment, because many of the higher power stations use longer waves. All these features are fully described in circular No. 137 of the bureau of standards, which is the fourth of a series dealing with construction of a very simple radio receiving eet, and may be obtained from the superin- tendent of documents, government printing office, Washington, D.

This is the first time that { President Harding has spoken through { one of the great radio broadcasting stations to the people of the United States. The occasion is the twenty-seventh anniversary of the founding of the Volunteers. held in honor of Gen. and Mrs. Ballington Booth. President Harding is the guest of honor. John W. Davis, former ambassador to Great Britain. will act as chairman. An insistent demand has been made by the millions of broadcast listeners for an opportunity to hear the Presi- dent's voice. The success of prev broadcasts from WEAF cont from points outside the broad. studio assures the highest quality of transmission and realistic reproduc tion of the President's voice in hun- dreds of thousands of receiving sets. Radio Tests in School. The first successful transmission of readin’, writin' and ‘rithmetic by radio has just been witnessed by more than fifty “officials of the board of educatic of New York and the Radio Corporatic of America. Accountancy had been selected as the subject offering the most conclusive test | of the efficiency of this new force in th spreading of education. Station WJZ was chosen as the station through which to conduct the experiment and from 1:15 to 1:45 a series of accountanc problems was broadcast. At Haaren High School engineers of the corpora- tion had installed a receiver and loud speaker equipment before which the Sludents were walting at their adding machines. Promptly at 1:15 the an- nouncer's voice came through loud and clear to every one in the classroom and the buzz of conversation ceased abrupt- ly. The various problems were then presented slowly and distinctly just they would be if the instructor were before the pupils. A few minutes after the lecture was completed the correct answers to the problems were sent out and received at the board of education headquarte: and at the school, where they were checked against the results arrived at by the studen The overwhelming correctness of the pupils’ work testifies to the faultless manner in which radlo waves carried the many details of the complicated problems, every one of which had to be received to permit of a correct solution. Principals of over twenty-five city high schools were interested “li teners-in” at the board rooms, as were the assistant superintendents of schools present. Gen. J. G. Har- bord, president of the corporation. was enthuslastic regarding the dem- onstration. have long been vinced,” &aid Gen. Harbord, radio telephony need not be limited merely to the broadcasting_of amuse- d entertainment. it has now its greatest sphere of useful- ness. Millions of people heretofore denied the advantages of higher education and advanced vocational traintng, either because of their loca tion or their working hours, can now receive this instruction nightly in their own homes. I am delighted that this test was such a pronounced success and trust that this new ap- plication of radio will be developed quickly all over the country.” Haaren High School was not the only one to receive this instruction. Other high schools, radio-equipped and operated by the pupile, also “lis- tened-in” and the telephone brought to the waiting officials reports of suc- cessful reception from schools scat- tered all over the city. This was conclusive proof that hundreds, even thousands, of pupils in many widely separated locations can now listen to leading instructors and experts with whom they otherwise would never come in contact. Ofcials of the board of education were warm in theif praise of radio as an educator, and are already dis- cussing methods for the immediate Dbroadening of the service. 19. from up b | { 1 i Open New Ether Band. Will there be a scramble of all radio interests to “get in" on the once _supposedly worthless ether band below 160 meters wave length? The onward march of radio trans- mission has undergone so many changes within a period of mere months that even the most expert hesitate to express an opinion for fear of being called upon to retract. This has been true of most all pre- dictions about the value 'of short waves. In recent weeks there has been a great deal of comment on the po; bility of long-distance communi tion below 150 meters and it is only natural, that the amateur should again demonstrate that he is the ploneer when it comes to this par- ticular phase of radio_development. During the recent CQ (short wave) test party under American Radio Re- lay League auspices 6G1, an amateur station, operated by Archie Wade of 465 North Lake street, Los Angeles, Calif., transmitting on a wave length of 120 meters, was heard in every state the Union. This station holda, the record for short wave transmission, the power :being only five watts. . : Other long-distance records. en short wa been reported by amateurs who ticipated in the American Radio Relay lLeague short wave tests. It would appear from this information that much better results can be obtained on 150 meters than is ordina the case on 200 meters. the band commonly used by amateurs As the more powerful commercial stations operate on wave lengths be- tween 0 and 25,000 meters, the short wave tests are just another indication that the most successful radio transmission will be xt the two extremes, also that the region below 150 meters is well worth fur- ther investigation.

Beau, the pilot, had to keep an altitude of 2,000 feet to stay out of the mist. When he noted the accident, he slide- slipped through a hole in the fog to a small fleld and effected a perfect landing without damage of any nature to the plane. Although it was possible to repair the leak to the tank, the field in which he was forced to land was So small that It was impossible to take off. A truck was procured and the two officers dissembled the plane. It then was hauled seventeen miles to a railroad station. properly crated and shipped to Washington. Lieut, T. P. Smith and . Z.
