TRY MARS BY RADIO, i NOW AIM OF SCIENCE Series of Experiments at Chicago University Arouses New Interest. BALLOON TO TEST HIGH AIR Question of Electrical Resistance Determining Factor. Ty Consolidated Press. CHICAGO, May 31.—The possibility of communicating with Mars—an idea which has engaged the fancy of scientists since astronomy first de- veloped support for the theory that that planet is inhabited—is being de- bated with renewed vigor as the re- sult of a series of experiments about to be undertaken at the University of Chicago. Radio is the means by which this dream may become a reality—pro- vided, of ceurse, that the coming ex- periments prove successful, and also provided Mars is inhabited by a race which knows something about the mysterles of radlo, but recently dis- covered on this globe. The trouble about radio communi- cation with Mars to date has been that the air about the earth’s surface is an extremely poor conductor of clectricity and would head off any message that tried to get through its blanket into space. But it has been believed for some time that the fur- ther penetration goes into the great empty spaces beyond the earth’s air blanket the less becomes the reslst- ance to transmission of electricity. Balloon to Be Used. Tt is to prove or disprove this the- orv—and thus establish or upset the possibility of radio communication with Mars—that the University of Chicago scientists are bending their vlans.’ An_ extremely ingenious and a ely balanced recording mech- anism, which I8 to be carried aloft 1o new height by a hydrogen balloon. will determine “exactly the condue- of thinning atmosphere as it shoots up twenty miles or more. In making this first attempt at sci- entific determination of the resist- ance of the upper air to_electricity the sclentists hope to send their bal- loon to a height three times that reached by man in his greatest ex- Dloits with balloon or airplane. Even at that relatively nearby distance the atmosphere is so thin that man can- not exist in it. Tt is figured that if electrical resistance is found to di- minish markedly in that distance it will diminish much more in the vast ether beyond. Plan Test in Alps. Meantime scientists are planning a light test, to be conducted in the Swiss Alps next August, in an effort 10 attract the attention of our 35,000,- 000-miles-away neighbors, if there are any, on Mars. USsing the snow as a reflector, the sclentists plan to direct powerful light rays through lars, while great telescopes will w to see what, if anything, the surprised Martians will do by Wiy of response. Failure to get action In this way would leave radio as the last known reourse for interplanetary commu- tion. Of course, there is-no as- surance that a possible race of Mar- tigns would have developed wireless. But scientists think there is a good chance they may have, since Mars is @ imuch older planet than the earth, and its inhabitants, if any, would have had the benefit of a few million vears in which to conduct scientific reSearch and experimentation. In this connection it is recalied that Murconi a few years ago reported that he had picked up radio waves from a station using a 150,000-meter wave length. This is by far greater than any wave length known on earth and some scientists are inclined to the belief the waves were sent out from Mars, Local Radio Entertainment Saturday, May 31, 1924. val Radio Station, R (435 Meters), p.m.—Live stock reports. —Weather bureau reports. —Hay, feed, crop reports, o, Va.

Extensive tests to determine the availability of the radio telegraph for transmitting railroad messages (other than train orders) in the event of ex- tensive prostration of the wire sys- tems have just been conducted through co-operation between mem- bers of the American Radio Relay League, operating under federal 1i- censes, and the Pennsylvania railroad management. B eata. which covered the princi- pal operating points on the Pennsy! vania rallroad sy ftem bctween the Atlantic seaboard on the east and the ‘Mississippi River on the west, proved in the main highly successful, and, in the opinion of the railroad manage- ment, demonstrate that the service of th> radio telegraph stations embraced in the league offers a practical means of emergency communication.

Grace Los Angele: SUMMER PARK CONCERTS TO BE RESUMED BY WSB Special Dispatch to The Star. ATLANTA, Ga., May 29.—Public re- ception of all schedules broadcast by WSB will be resumed at the two leading parks of Atlanta in June through the use of a unique system of wired wireless. As in 1923, the only musical en- tertainment provided for park vis- itors during the summer nights is the Journal radio service. Mammoth loud speakers, designed and installed by the station receive the nightly con- certs, as well as WSB's dally play- by-play stories of the Atlanta base ball team's Southern League games. The horns, are situated near the public bathing pools and entertained tens of thousands of outdoor Atlan- tians last year. The service has been :Ie::‘uly indorsed by the city govern- Police to Hold Services. Inspector Charles A, Evans, acting superintendent of police, directed a message to members of the depart- ment today urging them to attend the police memorial services in Cen- tral High Shool Auditorium Sunday night. the Initial memorial service un the auspices of the.

Reproduction Prohibited How to Build a Supersensitive In- door Aerial Receiver—Part III. Nos. 11, 12 and 13 are radlo fre- quency vario transformers, according | dle to diagrams publighed previously with this series, A good type of fixed transformer can be used, but much better results will be obtained if vario transform- ers are used. Nos. 14 and 15 are standard audio frequency transformers. No. 14 may be a high ratio trans- former. Best results in quality, how- ever, will be obtained if low ratio transformers are used in both stages. Since there is plenty of amplification before the detector, giving a good signal In the detector stage, it is not necessary to have high amplification in_the audio frequency stages. No. 17 is the negative A battery post; No. 18 is the positive A battery ost. Nos. 19 and 20 are double-circuit jacks. In these jacks A and D are the outside springs and B and C the in- side springs. The inside springs marked B make contact with the A springs, and the inside springs marked C make con- tact with the D springs. No. 21 is a single-circuit jack. No. 22 is the coll used for tuning. This consists of sixty turns of No. 22 D. 8. C. wire wound on a tube 3 inches in diameter and . 2% inches long. The coil is tapped at every ten turns. No. 23 is the negative A battery ter- minal post. Nos. 24, 27, 28, 30, 32 and 33 are the vacuum tube jacKets, the type de- pending on the tubes used in the cir- uit. “No. 25 1s a 1 mfd. fixed condenser. No. 26 is the positive B battery ter- minal post for the amplifier stages. Grid Leak and Condenser. No. 29 is a combination grid leak and condenser. The condenser should have & value of .00025 mfd.. while the grid leak should have a resistance of from 2 to 5 megohms, depending on the characteristics of the tube used as a detector. Best results will be obtained by _substituting different valyes until the correct one is found. Np. 31 is the positive B battery ter- minal for the detector stage. No. 34 is the 43 volt C battery. Number 35 is the positive B battery terminal for the audio amplification stages. Wiring the receiver Is not as com- plicated as it may seem. If the di- rections given below are followed -arefully no trouble will be expe- rienced in making all the connections properly. Begin by connecting the number 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 switch points of switch 4 with the corresponding switch points of switch 6. The num- ber 0 switch points of the switches are not connected together. Connection of Ta Next place the coil back af the switch points and begin connecting the taps of the coil with the switch points. The tap at the tenth turn is connected with the wire which connects the number 10 switch points of both switches: that at the twentieth turn is comnected with the wire which joins the number 20 switch points, and 8o on down the line till the last tap at the sixtieth turn has been con- nected with the wire which joins the number 60 switch points of both switches. The number 0 switch points of switch 6 is left unconnected. It merely serves as a “blind” contact when it is desired to disconnect the switch arm of switch 6 from coll 22. ‘The aerial post 1 {s connected with the switch arm of switch 4. Next connect, in the order named, the G terminal of socket 24, the begin- ning_ or top end of winding 22, the B terminal of switch 3 and the A + DoDGE BROTHERS our Passenger ' C’oupe 1 (stationary plates) terminal of con- denser 5. “Then connect together the ground post 2, the switch arm of switch 6, the B (rotary plates) ter- minal of condenser 5 and the B (mid- or slider, terminal of potentiom- ext connect binding post 17 with the A terminal of switch 16. The B terminal of the switch 16 is connected in turn with the B terminals of rheostat 10, 9 and 8 and with the C terminal of potentiometer 7. The positive terminal of C battery 34 is Jjoined with the wire just mentioned. A wire running from post 18 is then used to connect together the F1 terminals of all the sockets. To this connecting wire short leads from the following terminals are connected, thus connecting the following ter- minals with the positive A battery lead. The A terminal of potentiom- eter 7; binding post 23. the A ter- minal ‘of condenser 25:. the I ter- minal of transformers 11, 12 and 13. Remember, however, that the F ter- minals of transformers 11 and 12 are connected with the positive A bat- tery lead only if the UV 201 A tubes are used. If UV 199 or WD 11 or WD 12 tubes are used as radio frequency amplifers the F terminals of trans- formers 11 and 12 should be connect- ed with the negative A battery lead, —that s, with the wire joining the B terminal of switch 16 with the B terminats of the rheostats.
