WJZ ANNOUNCES 2-PART MYSTERY TALE BY RADIO Plans to Demonstrate Effectiveness of Broadcasting Under Condi- tions Not Before Experienced. In an attempt to determine just how eftec ‘e the broadcasting of a two- part mystery tale will prove, station ‘WJZ, will put the first part of a brief hut thrilling adventure story, “By the Breadth of a Hair,” by Arthur B. Reeve and Margaret O. Reeve, on the air tonight and will broadcast the second and final installment one week Jater. The idea of a ‘“radio serial story” has long been cherished by authors and program managers alike, but it was found through trial that the radio audience differs somewhat from the magazine audience, and that long- drawn-out stories of several install- ments, even though by well known authors, aroused littie enthusiasm among the listeners. Tris trial, presenting a mystery story, especially written for the radio by the acknowledged king of mystery story authors, Arthur B. Reeve, and dividing it intg only two parts, will, it is hoped, prove both interesting and thrilling to the fisteners, and if suc- cessful may open up the fleld for an entirely new type of fiction—the “two-part radio tale.” RADIO QUERIES Radio Editor: When and where will the third national radio conference be held? W. B. C. The conference will be held in ‘Washington, beginning September 30. Many important questions vital to the future of radio will be discussed. Radio Editor: 1 would like to know the call let- ters of the station I heard Monday night at 11:40 o'clock, which broad- cast Senator .Wheeler's speech.

Part L There are many instruments which can be inspected and whose good and bad points can be determined to some extent upon careful examination ot the construction of the instruments. Audio frequency amplifying trans- formers, however. do not fall in this class and_the only way in which a fan can determine the relative effi- ciencies of various types 18 to use them in a set and try changing them around. Since it is impossible to give comparative statements of the rela- tive merits of various makes of instruments in these columns, it is well for the radio buyer to consider several well known facts about transformers and transformer manu- facturers before investing in any given make of transformer. In the first place, regardless of all the knowledge you may have on the theory and operating of transform- ers, it is rather difficult to see, espe- cially now when many such trans- formers are neatly encased in metal shells, whether or not those good points of design and construction have been incorporated in the instru- ment. Buying & Transformer. The first thing to consider, then, in the seleotion of a transformer is the reputation of the manufacturer. ‘this is not very difficult to do if you have been reading the advertising columns of the newspaper radio section ana the advertising columns of the va- rious radio magazines. The largest advertising campaigns are not always carried on by the manufacturers of the best devices, but the general rule of good material ’| begets volume of business and great- er_ possible expenditures for adver- tising purposes generally holds good and vou may use that as a guide, Now let us consider the function of an audio frequency amplitying transformer, the characteristics re- quired to make it perform that func- tion and the manner in which -it should be used to have it pertorm that function to best advantage. In a radio receiver it is not pos- wible to get sigmals-of-the required strength for loud-speaker operation at the time the signals are detected. It is necessary, therefore, to use some means of building up electrical impulses to the required strength be- fore they are made to actuate the loud speaker, which changes the elec- trical impulses into sound impulses.

Written by an expert, in non-technical language, it answers the questions in the minds of thousands who today are consider- ing oil heat for their homes. Oil burning is the new-day way. It is here to stay. In the past five years numberless thousands of American homes have adopted this clean, trouble-less way of heating. You, too, may have oil heat. Here are the facts— read them. Answering a few questions Is oil heat dependable? —that is usually the first question. The answer: virtually all new battle ships and ocean liners, many railroad locomotives, today are driven by oil. Old coal-burners are being converted to this clean efficient way. Thousands and thousands of American homes are today heated by oil. They have banished the drudgery, the dirt of coal. Innu- found thus far to accomplish this end has been that of step-by-step or cas- cade amplification in which the re- ceived electrical impulses are passed from one step or stage to another, in order to be amplified a certain degree in each succeeding stage until the required strength is obtained. Action of Transformer. The device which actually accom- plishes the amplification is the vacuum tube of each stage; the transformer merely acts as what might be termed &n “introducer” in that it takes the current flowing in the plate circuit of the preceding stage and introduces it into the grid circuit of the next stage of amplification. The procedure, however, is not as simple as it might seem at first sight, since the action is not accomplished merely by tapping off the current in the output circuit of the previous tube and leading the current into the input circuit of the next tube. In accomplishing this transforma- tion of the current from the plate cir- cuit of one stage into the input cir- cuit of the next stage, several im- portant functions are performed by the transformer. These functions and the manner in which they are per- formed will be taken up in tomo.- row’s article. Radio Attractions Tonight.
