PROGRAM OF WRC MAY BE POSTPONED Elaborate Features Arrang- ed, But Convention Session Believed Likeiy. An claborate and diversified pro- gram of entertainment has been scheduled for tonight by WRC, which will be sidetracked for the proceed- ings of the Democratic national con- vention should a night session be held in the Madison Square Garden arena. Liver since the beginning of the con- clave Tuesday the local stations have curtailed their programs, expecting the Democratic convention to furnish the entertainment, but thus far they have been disappointed. There is, however, a greater possibility of a night s on tonight than at any time this week, and it is likely that WRC will not use the artists it has booked. The chief attraction billed by WRC tonight is a concert by an orchestra of the United States Marine Band, under the direction of Henry H. Stephan. The program is principally classical. WRC the air’ at 7:30 o'clock with its regular Saturday night feature—a Bible talk—which 1l be given by Chaplain Thomas L. Kirkpatrick of the United States N A concert by the St. Andrew’s 1 Church Quartet, under the ection of Margaret Allen Ross, will follow. The quartet is composed of Minnie Volkmann, soprano: Walter | Frick, tenor; Sue Hess, contralto, and George Parker, basso. After the Marine Band Orchestra concert, which will begin _at_8:45 o'clock ‘and continue until 9:35, Doro- thy D. Wilson, contralto, will ‘give a song recital, accompanied by Francis Lloyd. A song recital by Ruth Pe- ter, soprano, will conclude the pro- gram. will “take Changes in Stations of Army and Navy Officers Of Interest to Capital ARMY. Maj. H. S.

Reproduction Prohibited What to Watech For in Buying Socket: e socket is probably one of the mowt troublesome pieces of radio ap- paratus as far as its potentialities to create trouble are concerned. Sock- ets at best are merely necessary evils; at their worst they are faithful imps of his satanic majesty—Trouble. The most efficient receiver would be one in which no sockets were used. a recelver in which the leads to the various elements of the tubes used in the receivers were soldered directly to the prongs of the tubes. In such & case the losses which or- dinarily take piace through _the socket would be eliminated and good firm contact between the leads and the tube elements would be assured In most cases, due to mechanical dif- ficulties in holding the tube and the undesirability of applying heat to the prongs of the tube, this method of mounting the tube is not very prac- tical. The use of a socket is therefore re- sorted to. There are a number of points, how- ever, which must be considered in selecting and using the sockets 30 as to avoid trouble later on. The Socket's Function. The firat point is to use a socket that has as lttle material as possible. The function of the socket is to hold the tube in place and provide a means of contact for the leads to the prong: All material in excess of that re quired to perform that function is harmful to the efficient working of the socket, The next point is to see that the springs of the socket are held firmly in place, so that the relative position of the iour springs does not change A very good method used by som. socket manufacturers is to place the spring in a groove, as shown in Fig. 1. fice CONTACT SPRING SUPPORT InG a3 SPRING MEXICAN REBEL CHIEF SHCT BY FIRING SQUAD Chao Smiles at Sentence and Faces His Executioners Calmly. By the Assoriated Press. MEXICO CITY, June 28.—The rebel leader, Manuel Chao, arrested near Parral, was executed vesterday morn- ing at Parral, according to press dis- patches. The former governor of Chihuahua, who was one of Villa's chief lieutenants, heard the death sentence with a smile and calmly faced the shooting squad. After the flight to the United States of Hipolito Villa and the submission of Nicolas Flores and other leaders who revolted at Canutillo last De- cember, Chao refused either to sub- mit or to go into exile, although left with only a small group of followers, Chao began his revolutionary ca- reer in 1910, under Madero; was ap- pointed governor of Chihuahua in 1913 by Villa: vanished when Car- ranza and Villa clashed; reappeared in Costa Rica and participated in the revolutionary movement against Ti- noco, being appointed war minister when the revolution was successful. The main function of the socket is to provide a means of making the connection between the wiring leads and the prongs of the tube. If a socket fails in this respect it is worthless. A considerable number of the troubles and nofses met with in a radio receiver are due to lack of con- tact or imperfect contaet between the socket springs and the tube prongs or between the binding post screw and the ;socket spring. Lack of Contact. Lack of contact may be due to the use of a poor or weak spring ma- terial. Some manufacturers are over- coming this deficiency of the ordinary spring by using two leaves of thin metal instead of one leaf for the con- tact spring. This improves the spring action, so that it is not as easy to bend the spring down out of contact with the prong. Another good method used by another manufacturer is to use two leaves—one a copper one, to provide the good contact. and the other a supporting spring of steel, as shown In Fig. 2. In some cases the contact formed between the end or the tube prong and the face of the socket spring does not provide a very good contact. Some manufacturers have improved the method of contact by turning up the end of the socket spring, so that as the tube is turned the edge of the turned-over spring bears against the side of the prongs, ko that in place of one contact, as Lefore, there are two points of contact between the prong and the spring. as shown in Fig. 3. Solder Useful. No matter how much the which holds the spring is tightened it will loosen again, 5o that the screw is making poor contact with spring. Once the socket is.in place and the wiring leads connected with the socket terminals, it Is practically impossible to tighten the screw or the nut, because the head of the screw cannot be held and insists on turning. My safeguard against this condition is to drop a bit of solder on the head of the screw, soldering it to the socket spring. Then, if_the spring is of the type which is fitted into a Broove to prevent turning, all that is necessary to tighten up 1S to remove the lead wire to the binding post and tighten the binding post nut. The springs should be bent up and the contacting surfaces cleaned once in a while to make sure of maximum efficiency A little attention will prevent a later on SEES GREAT AIR LINES.
