The earlier program will open at 7:45 with the weekly Bible talk un- der the auspices of the Men's Organ- ized Bible Class Association of Wash- ington, to be conducted this evening by Arthur Black. At 8 o'clock Mildren Ensign of the Lovette School of Music will offer the first group of a piano recital, to be resumed at §:20.

RADIO QUERIES What is the wave length of AT, lo- cated at Fort Bragg, N. C.? I would like to state, for the infor- mation of Warren Parker, that music from the Venetian Gardens is broad- cast by station CFCF. Also for the information of S. M. Greene, station C broadcasts from the Mount al Hotel—W. R. C. . AT9 broadcasts on a wave band of 435 meters, the same as is used by NAA's radiophone station. The following communication was received from Miss Elizabeth M. Zondonini, secretary-treasurer of the ‘Washington Radio Club, better known to the “Hams” as 3CDQ, and because of its interest to all broadcast lis- teners is published. The letter an- swers a query published in this col- umn Wednesday. It follows: “We have had our attention called to the query of R. B. C. appearing in the radio column of The Evening Star of August 27, in which he states that he has been annoyed in the reception of broadcast concerts by an amateur using a non-synchronous spark trans- mitter. We beg to advise that the spark transmitter is (and has been for some time) obsolete in the Dis- trict of Columbia. Relative to the use of non-synchronous spark apparatus, such use by amateurs is entirely within the law (See paragraphs 3 and 4 of Section 4, act of August 13, 1912 of United States laws and regula- tions). Any spark transmitter— whether of the synchronous or non- synchronous type being immaterial— is alwayvs susceptible of causing in- terference and for this reason, among others, amateurs have practically abolished their use. ““We feel that R. B. C. is under a mis- apprehension as nearly all interfer- ence experienced by broadcast listeners can be shown to result from government of commercial stations or from ex- traneous causes. “We will be more than willing to help in running down the causes of interference to broadcast lsiteners coming to your attention.” FOUGHT AT GETTYSBURG. Virginia Confederate Veteran Dies at Age of 81 Years. $pecial Dispatch to The Star. FREDERICKSBURG, Va., August 30.—James Garland McCleary, a Con- federate veteran, died Wednesday night at the home of his son, J. M. McCleary, at Rapidan, where he was visiting, aged 81 years, Mr. McCleary was a native of Orange County and enlisted in Capt. John Welch’'s com- ipany .at Madison Court House in March, 1861. He was later assigned to Gen. Pickett’s division, Long- street's Corps, Army of Northern Vir- ginia. He participated in the battle of Bull Run, the first Manassas and Wil- liamsburg, Seven Pines, the battle of | Fredericksburg and the battle of Get- | tysburg.

The great trouble with the major- ity of Neutrodyne receivers that are built by radio fans is that the re- ceiver will work even if the tube ca- pacities are not properly neutralized. The results obtained, however, when this important detail is not attended to are very poor when compared to the results obtained when the re- ceiver has been adjusted properly. eutrodyne \Mr. McCleary, with a number of others, was taken prisoner, sent to !

No. 5 is a standard radio buzzer. No. 6 is a table-mounted vari- able condenser of from .00025 mfd. to .0005 mfd. maximum capacity. Connections Easy. The connections are very easy to, make. First connect the binding post 1 with the A terminal of condenser 6; the A terminal of coil 2 and the positive terminal of the battery 3. Then connect together the B terminal of coil 2, the B terminal of condenser 6 and the A terminal of buzzer 5. The negative terminal of the bat- tery is connected with terminal B of switch 4, while the A terminal of switch 4 is connected with the B ter- minal of the buzzer. When you have finished your Neu- trodyne set and have made all the battery connections and inserted the tubes in their proper places, you are ready to begin the job of neutralizing the tube capacities. Connect the ground post of the set with the ground and the aerial post of the set with binding post 1 of the test apparatus, seeing to it, however, that the apparatus is placed about 10 or more feet away from the set. Then turn on the A battery light- Ing the filaments to their brightes points by turning the current on full. Plug In your phones and begin the tests. - Then adjust the receiver dials and the dial of variable condenser of the test circuit till the signals sent out by the test circuit are received with maximum intensity. Now remove the first radio fre- quency amplifier tube (the one near- est the antenna circuit) from its Socket and readjust the dial settings of the receiver until the signals come in as strongly as it is possible to get them. The next step is to cover one of the filament prongs of the tube with a plece of paper so that the fila- ment circuit of that tube will be broken when the tube is inserted back in its tube socket. When the tube is returned to its socket the grid and plate prongs will make contact in the socket, but the tube will not light be- cause its filament circuit is broken by the plece of paper which rests be- tween the filament prong and the cor- responding spring of the socket. Signal Strength Varles. Unless the neutralizing condenser happens to be adjusted properly you will still hear the signals to some ex- tent. The strength of these signals, however, can be varied by moving the tube of the first neutralizing con- denser or neutrodon from one end to the other. The neutrodon should be adjusted to the point where the sig- nals become very weak or disappear entirely. When the tube is taken out the signals should come in again com- paratively strongly, but should prac- tically disappear when the tube is re- placed, with the paper covering one of the filament prongs. This adjustment completes the neu- tralization of the tube capacity of the first radio frequency tube. The pa- per can then be removed from the filament prong, and the same proce- dure followed with the.second radio frequency tube, leaving the first tube in its socket with fllament burning. The adjustment for the second tube 1s obtained with the second neutraliz- ing condenser, Before attempting to adjust the neutralizing condenser in each case be sure that the dial settings of the receiver are such that maximum sig- nal strength -is being obtained to start with, Reception with the neutrodyne re- ceiver should be of the type obtained with a non-regenerative receiver— that 18, no squeals should be heard as the receiver s being adjusted to a station. The station should come in without the squeal which usually heralds it in a regenerative receiver. If that is not the case you should try to readjust the receiver. This, of course, does not apply to the squeals you may hear. caused by the radiating sets of your neighbors, as those squeals will come in spite of all you can do, but applies only to the squeals created by the actual op- eration of the receiver.

Swamped With eleventh-hour en- trants in the $100 prize contest for a new name to displace the word Yjazz,” Meyer Davis announced today that it would be impossible to name the win- ner before September 15. It had been originally planned to announce the winner Labor day. Almost 500,000 names have been sub- mitted in the contest.
