The transmitting range of a sta- tion is dependent on the power of its transmitter, powers which now range from a few watts to approximately 6,000 watts and which may eventu- ally reach 100,000 watts or higher. The transmitter, in turn, is dependent for its effective functioning on the antenna circult with which its own circults are assoclated. If these ¢ir- cuits are adjusted to resonance, or electrical harmony on the station's broadcast wave or frequency, then the higher the over- head antenna wires are suspended above the earth and the lower the total resistance value of the over- head and “ground” parts of the an- tenna circult, the greater will be the effective signal energy produced by the transmitter and radlated into space by the antenn We can see then that powerful broadcast music and speech signals, which may be made audible many hundreds of miles from the transmit- ting station, can be produced and radlated without considering the acous- tical properties of the broadcast studlo Coolest nearby _salt-water bathing, music, dancl there. ~Drive your own car vi Va., or Morgantown, Md., or Johns to Colonial Beach. meets all bouts.

The acoustical problem involved i to prevent, as far us possible, echoes and reverberations of sound: or reflected sound waves, within the studio. which, being impresed on the diaphragm of the sensitive micro phone along with the original sounds, distort them, thus automatically broadcasting the distorted sound equivalents in space. Sounds of quite different quality from those orfginally produced by thi performers may thus be made per- ceptible to the ears of the distant radio fan. What was originally mu- sle, for example, may thus become a jumble of sounds entirely devoid of harmony. v Broadcast studios must also be made as nearly sound proof as it is possible to make them. This is for the purpose of preventing the en- trance of sound waves corresponding to noise and other extraneous sounds from the outside and their radiation in space through the studio’s micro- phone and its assoclated transmitter. It is probably impossible to con- struct a broadcast studio which is entirely sound proof gnd acoustical- 1y perfect, into which no extraneous sounds can enter and which is en- tirely echoless and which reflects no sound waves whatever. Near to Sound proof. 1t'is feasible, however, to construct a studio which is almost sound proof and in which the intensity of the echoes and reverberation of sound e very greatly reduced, This con- sists of constructing studios of suit- able size and dimensions and specially treating the floors, walls and ceilings. The studic floor is always covered with a hea-y carpet or rug., and in some studlos a specially manufac- tured felt or other sound-deadening muterial fs spread over the floor underneath the carpet. The walls and ceiling may be draped with sound-deadening material only, but In most cases they are covered with felt or other similar material and curtains are draped over this ma- terfal. Some broadcast concerns utilize the same identical methods as devised by them at all of their studios, while other concerns utilize different meth- ods at each of their different studios. Virtually all of the larger broadcast concerns, however, are giving con- stant study to the acoustical prop- erties of their studios and they are making careful scientific experiments with a view to bringing about im- provements. Remarkable improvements along this line have been made within the short interval of time of two years, during which the investigations and experiments have been under way. It is likely that eventually some par- ticular design for a studio will have proved its superiority over all others and will have become standard prac- tice In radio broadcasting. ce Will Sound Dead. Persons who speak in a specially constructed and acoustically treated broadcast studio will experience a peculiar sensation. Their voice will sound “dead,” due to the virtual ab- sence of the reverberations to which they have been accustomed to hearing when speaking_under normal condi- tions. The absence of the usual reverberations will make their voice seem unnatural and this unnatural effect is made more noticeable by the abnormal silence which ordinarily prevafle within the sound-proof studio. The problem of acoustics as It casting s only one of many “inci- dental” problems which must be solved before we can hope to have perfect radiophone broadcast pro- grams. and it indicates the wide field of investigation and study involved in the science of radio.

Simplicity of Radio. about radio, but a majority of them are so technical that the average reader does not understand them, and ithe result is lack of interest in the gredtest of modern sciences. books, the Crosley Company of Cincinnati decided that there was a need for one which could be easily understood by the layman. That is why Powel Crosley, jr., presi- dent of the Crosley Manufacturing Company, wrote -the “Simplicity of Radio.” which describes the function of radio parts and their combined use in the reception of broadcast con- cert. Another interesting chapter in the book, is a description of broad- casting station WLW. Probably one of the most Interest- ing portions of “Simplicity of Radio” is devoted to the erection of the an- tennae. This is given such clear de- scription that it is used as part of the instructions which go with every Crosley radlo recelving set. “Simplicity of Radio” is fully. illus- trated in.a way that may be easily grasped by the average reader. Times Signals from WJZ. The re-transmission of time signals from the high-power government station NAA at Arlington, Va, through station WJZ at broadcast central requires much simpler appa- ratus than the average person imag- ines. It requires only a simple long- wave recelver capable of intercepting the 2,500-meter signals from NAA (spark transmitter) and a switching device enabling the operator to con- nect the output of the receivingset with the studio microphone circuit or to throw the microphone directly on the radlo circuit for announcing purposes. The incoming signals from NAA are received on a highly selective re- gelver, the output of which is passed through two stages of amplification. From this amplifier they enter ther mplifier which {s normally used for strengthening the microphone cur- rents in the studio. Thus the time ignals are simply a substitute for the current variations ordinarily pro- duced by the microphone and actuate the more powerful amplifiers of the transmitting set proper and modulate the antenna current in a way similar to_that of. the voice. The true characteristics of the tone |" which has for years identified the old faithful Arlington station are pre- perved in the sudcessive stages of ampilfication which the signal under- uleu at WJZ before entering the e 2 A Definttion of Radio.

ROAD OVER CANADIAN ROCKIES THROWN OPEN By the Associated Press. KOOTENAY CROSSING, British Co- lumbla, June 30.—The Banff-Winde- mere highway, the first motor high- way across the Canadian Rocklesand | the northern connecting link of the | 6.000-mile system known as the Grand Circle tour, was officially opened to- day at ceremonies conducted by the lleutenant gavernors of British Co- lumbia and Alberta. Representatives of the Dominion government and of Montana, 1daho, Oregon, Washington and California also were represented. ‘The new highway, which opens a route to the Columbla river, gives ac- cess to a reglon of great scenic beauty in western Alberta and east- ern, British Columblia. — bility drops rapldly, reaching the low level in the late spring. From June on the rise is correspondingly rapid. From this we See that, contrary to popular bellef, the bottom already has been reached and that from now on recelving conditions will be improving rapidly. Advantages of Loop Aerial. One of the good effects of the new bmxl’!mllns craze has been to bring to attention the great interference prol lems which exist, naval experts say. The loop antenna has been brought Into | great prominence for receiving purposes jas a means avallable for avoiding in- terference. Practically unlimited receiving ranges are possible with the loop when suffi- clent radio frequency amplification is used. One reads frequently of the enor- mous distances obtained on loops even s small as two feet In dlameter. In solving naval problems it is very probable that the loop will be of serv ice other than its use for direction finding. It 1s concelvable that all receiving sets may be done on loaps some time in the near future, as is done in Washington on the long cir- cuits Some of the advantages claimed for the loop aerial are: Sharp tuning, wide Tange of frequencies available in & sin- gle_coll, directive effect, easy portabilit &nd replacement, small space occupl and little- radiative effect when gen- eration is used. One Set for Each Aerial. More than one recelving set cannot be operated on one aerial. Soms readers Irave tried it and could hear Imothing. Ofln{htn the different char- acteristics of the recelving sets and the difference in the wave lengths to which they are tuned, such an arrange- ment will not work successfully. ‘More than one.aerial may be , but when this is done they should placed at right angles ‘and shpuld be separated at least fAfteen feet-in fast, as far away as possible. There are some receiving sets now on the market and.on account of their de- sign they become transmitting sets and give off continuous waves. I one of to nve TN these sets is used, it is gol considerable trouble to others near-it. v %
