L. M. . A number of fans have reported picking up this Spanish program, but thus far none has been able to identify the station. Some seem to think it was WKAQ at San Juan, Porto Rico, but this station broad- casts on a wave band of 360 meters. Radio Edito Radio Editor: Could you tell me what station was broadcasting a program by the Sal- vation Army Quartet? I heard it at 12:05. The piece being played was from some opera, and the instru- ments used were plano and cornet. 1t was very clear, but I was unable to get the call letters—P. I H. WGY, in Schenectady, usually broadcasts concerts by the Salvation Army musicians. It is probable that the quartet broadcasts from this station. Radio Editor: Will you please tell me in your paper what station Thursday night gave a concert in Spanish about 11:30 or 12 o'clock?

Reprodustion Prohibited. The Meaning and Effects of Close and Loose Couplings. When two circuits are so arranged that a current of an alternating character flowing in one circuit, des- ignated as the “primary circuit,” causes a similar current to flow in the other circuit, called the “secondary circuit,” the two circuits are sald to be “coupled” to each other. This coupling may be of different types and may be such as to cause either a small or a large transfer of energy. In this article we will take up the inductively coupled circuits and the effects produced when the circults are coupled together to different degrees. In 'the diagram the circuit marked “P” is the primary circuit, or the cir- cuit in which the original alternat- ing current flows, while the circuit marked “S” is the secondary circuit, or the circuit in which current is made to flow through the action pro- duced by the current flowing in the primary circult. L The alternating currents are pro- duced by any standard form of alter- nating current generator, designated by E. yIl'l the circuit shown the primary and secondary circuits are not con- nected to each other, and transfer of energy from primary to secondary takes place entirely through educa- tion. The amount of energy trans- ferred from the primary to the sec- ondary depends on how closely or loosely the coils L1 and L2 are cou- pled. In the loose-coupler -form of tuner, the coupling is changed by varying the distance of the coils from each other, moving them close to or away from each other along the same axis. The coupling is said to be “close” or “tight” when the coils are close to each other and “loose” when they are at a greater distance from each other. In the variocoupler type of tuner, the same effect is obtalned by using two coils arranged concentrically with each other, with one of the colls mounted on a movable shaft so that it can be turned to change the relative posi- tion of the axes of the coils from a Point where both axes are in the same line to a point.where the axes of the coils are at right angles to each other. ‘When the axes are in the same line the coupling is sald to be “close” or “tight,” while when the axes are at right angles to each other the cou- pling is said to be “loose.” The greatest transfer of energy takes place when the coupling is close, 8o that it would seem that in designing radio tuning circuits the desirable thing to do would be to make the coupling between the aerial and grid - circuits close rather than loose. There are other factors, however, which ‘must be considered. While close coupling gives the greatest transfer of energy, it also has some decided disadvantages. The Reactance Curves. A study of the reactance curves of two coils at different degrees of coupling reveals that there are two frequencies at which the reactance is zero and the current, therefors, at a maximum. In the case of closely coupled circuits these frequencies are very far apart, while in the case of very loosely coupled circuits they are very close together. " A closely cou- pled receiver then will tune in two different frequencies equally well on the same settings of the constants | tures upon 4 has been a prominent teacher of the { Taken from the Earth, BALTIMORE PASTOR TO PREACH IN D. C. Rev. Robert E. Browning to Speak at Church of Epiphany Tomorrow. The special preacher at the Church of the Epiphany, G strect between Thirteenth and Fourteenth streets, to- morrow will be the Rev. Robert I. Browning, rector of the Church of the Ascenslon, Baltimore. Before going to Baltimore, Mr. Browning was on the staff of Epiph- any Church as an associate minister, first with the late Rev. Dr. Randolph H. McKim, then with his successor, Rev. Br. James E. Freeman, the pres- ent Bishop of Washington.

Rev. Dr. J. H. Moore to Preach at Shiloh Church. Rev. Dr. J. H. Moore, pastor of the First Baptist Church of Charlotte, N. C, and one of the secretaries of the Lott Carey Baptist Foreign Mis- sion Convention, just ending its twenty-seventh annual session in this city, will preach at Shiloh Bap- tist Institutional Church (“Strang- ers'’ Home”), Ninth and P streets, at the morning service, tomorrow. Rev. Moore’s subject will be, “The Importance of Stewardship.” The Shiloh Male Quartet, composed of T. H. Ward, William H. Green, William Guy and Gustavus Harkum, will reh- der special music. The program for the Fall and Winter at Shiloh Church is taking definite shape since Dr. Waldron, the pastor, returned from his vacation. He plans “an aggressive evangelistic and community uplift campaign” for the church. Tomorrow night “hte hand of fellowship” will be extended to be- tween 15 and 20 new members at “the Lord's supper.” SHRINE RANKS HIGH. Gives $605.48 for Peter’s Pence Collection. BALTIMORE, September 6.—The Shrine of the Sacred Heart Church, ‘Washington, was second in the list of contributions made to the recent Peter’'s pence collection in the churches of the archdiocese with $605.48. The total of the collections amounted to $19,779.25. St. Paul's of Baltimore was first with $710.63. Other parishes which gave $400 or more are: St. James’, Baltimore, $500.18; St. Patrick’s, Cumberland, $500; Sacred Heart Church, Baltimore, $497.98; St. Aloysius, Washington, §$486.10; St. Patrick’s, Washington, $465; St. Michael’s, Baltimore, $436.70, and St. Matthew’s, Washington, $430.96. ‘WNYC on Air Sunday Night. For the first time since it began operation two months ago, WNYC, New York's new municipal statio; will broadcast a Sunday program to morrow night. The feature will be the concert of the Rivoll Orchestra, in the Mall in Central Park. Veni ‘Warwick, contralto, and well known opera singer, will render a program between the orchestra selections. — of the circuit, so that it is possible on such a receiver to tune in a broad- casting station and a higher wave length code station at the same time. This explains the code Interference often encountered by operators of single circuit sets in which the cou- pling between the two circits is clos- est. In such cases the trouble is not with the transmitting station but with the receiver. The choice of the proper coupling to use depends largely on conditions. If the receiver is to be operated near a transmitting station, so that the amount of energy in the aerlal system of the receiver will be comparatively large, a certain amount of signal strength can be sacrificed to gain the desired advantage of freedom from interference. ‘When the receiver is to be oper- ated at a considerable distance from the transmitting station, then it is necessary to corral every bit of avail- able energy, and In that case it is de- sirable to use closely coupled circuits. BISHOP CANDLER ATMOUNTVERNON Leader of Southern Metho- dism to Preach at Both Services Tomorrow. ° Bishop Warren A. Candler of At- lanta, Ga., will preach tomorrow at 11 o'clock in the morning and at 8§ o'clock in the evening at the Mount Vernon Place Methogist Episcopal Church South. Bishop Candler is noted as one of the best preachers in the Southern Methodist Church. He was one of the leading opponents of the unificu- tion of the Methodist Episcopal Church South and _the Methodist Episcopal Church. With a number of the other bisops, Bishop Candler carried on his fight right up until the time the general convention acted upon the question. It is likely that he will touch upon this subject in his sermons tomorrow. _Rev. Dr. W. A. Lambeta, pastor of the church, who has been oa his va- cation, has returned and will be in charge of the services. The full chorus choir of 80 will re- sume its work tomorrow under the direction of R. Deane Shure, with Mrs. Frank A. Frost at the organ and the new male quartet, W. Arthur McCoy, first tenor; Everett S. Hardell, second tenor; Howard P. Bailey, baritone, and James E. Schick, basso, will sing for the first time. Preceding the evening service, R. Deane Shure will resume his series of Z0-minute organ recitals. The Senior League will meet at 6:45 o'clock in the evening. BISHOP FREEMAN RETURNS TO CITY Appoints Rev. Calvert E.

Before being appointed as vicar at Trinity, Mr. Wolven had been on the staft at Epiphany Church for over two years, coming as associate min- ister to Dr. Freeman, then rector. Since Dr. Freeman's consecration to the episcopate, Mr. Wolven has been acting as minister in charge until his retirement to assume charge of | Trinity this past week. The choir quartet of Epiphany volunteered its services for Mr. Wolven's first service at Trinity In recognition of his effi- cient services at the former church, and as a mark of respect and esteem in which the members hold the new vicar. LONDON MINISTER TO OCCUPY PULPIT Dr. Frederick Norwood to Preach at First Congregational on ‘World Policies. Dr. Frederick W. Norwood, minister of City Temple, London, England, a church that is known around the world, will speak at the First Con- gregational Church, Tenth and G streets, tomorrow at 11 am. on “World Policles Through Old Testa- ment Windows—Law,” and at § p.m. on “World Policies Through Old Tes- tament Windows—Labor.” This is Dr. Norwood's second visit to America, and his itinerary has in- cluded some of the most influential churches from San Francisco to the Atlantic coast. Born in Australia and left fatherless when a boy, he has worked his way up from humble sur- roundings to the most important Non- Conformist pulpit in the British em- pire. Dr. Norwood will also speak Tuesday at 8 p.m. on “The Romance of the Pacific,” a tale of the unveiling of the East, challenging attention to Dbig problems awaiting solution. On Thursday at 8 p.m. he will give an address on “When Questions Shall Cease.” —_— e ORGANIZING BOY CHOIR. Arrangements are being made for the organization of a boys choir at Trinity Episcopal Church, under the direction of Percy Newton Cox, who has been appointed organist. Mr. Cox was formerly organist at St. Ann's Episcopal Church at Anna- polis, Md., and was last year a schol- arship pupil at Peabody Institute, at Baltimore. Mr. Cox was also a pupil of Edgar Priest, the organist at Wash- ington Cathedral. It is announced that boys Who de- sire to try out for the choir should communicate with the rector, Rev. R. L. Wolven, or with Mr. Cox. Boy choristers between the ages of 10 and 12 are needed. The plans for the organization are progressing favor- ably and a number of boys have al- ready made application for the choir. A boy's choir is an innovation at Trinity Church and it is hoped that the chorister's will soon be organized. . ’ CHURCH WILL REOPEN. Rev. Henry L. Durrant to Fill Pulpit at Grace Parish.

Al- though great advancement has been made by the medical profession in controlling - epidemics and curing physical ailments, the entrance of any serious illness fills the members of the home with the realization of the limitations of human knowledge and power. No disease ever baffled the Lord Jesus, whose ministry of heal- ing added tremendously to His popu- larity as a preacher and teacher. The medical missionary has opened wide the doors of the mission field for the entrance of the Gospel mes- sage, just as the healing of the no- bleman's son prepared the way for the beginning of Christ’s ministry in Galilee. .Jesus had turned His face toward the heights ef Northern Pal- estine, when He passed through Sa- maria, where He tarried for a brief ministry, as a result of His talking with the woman of Samaria at Jacob's well. The success of those two days may have prompted the Master's re- mark “that a prophet hath no honor in his own country.” He had pre- sented Himself during His ministry in Judea to the national leaders as the Messiah and had been rejected. The attitude of the Samaritans must have thrilled Him as He faced the Gali- leans with whom He had been asso- ciated since His boyhood days. He knew their freedom from the tradi- tions of Jerusalem. It may have caused Him to hope that He could arouse their zeal for Him to such an xtent that the whole nation would be persuaded to accept Him as their Messiah. Cana, where He sanctioned mar- riage by turning water into wine, was the first place in Galilee that Christ visited upon His return from His Ju- dean ministry. Probably He passed through Nazarath, because His moth- er was in Cana, where she had a large part in the wedding activitics, when the Master manifested His glory by the beginning of His miracles. His fame had been increased by the re- ports of His miraculous power, r vealed during the feasts at Jerusa- lem. The Galileans who were at the feasts had filled the section with re- ports of His greatness. His pres- ence in Cana was soon known by the wireless method of earlier days when rapidly from place to place the news of importance spread from individ- uals to othters by word of mouth, The Nebleman's Petition. Twenty-five miles away in Caper- naum the news of the Prophet's re- turn brought a ray of hope to a servant of Herod Antipas. The nobleman, who was not only an officer of the king, but also in all probability of royal birth, had a son who was dangerously ill. Serious illness has driven many a man to think of religion when he bas been indifferent to the claims of God and of his obligations to Him during the days of health. If the nobleman had con- sidered that his home was secured against the ravages of sickness, he | changed his mind, when he was com- pelled to enter the valley of the shadow of death with his beloved son. The beautiful home was a scene of sorrow. Wealth could not push away the dreaded death. No physician B. Y. P. U. NEWS Sundzy night will be “smile night” at the E. Y. P.

Lapsley of Richmond, Va., will preach at the First Presby terian Church-tomorrow morning in the absence of the regular pastor, Rev. Dr. John Brittan Clark. Dr. Clark will re- could help, but the reputation of Jesus gave him encouragement to seek His help. He did not trust another to make the request, but started off over the hills to Cana, determined to secure at all costs the presence of Jesus at the bedside of his suffering son. He did not believe that the Lord was the Messiah, but he was convinced that He possessed greater power over nature than any other rabbi, who were the medical men of the period. The reputation of the Christ moved the nobleman to appeal to the Master for a miracle. Every person who takes their troubles to the Lord is sure of receiving help, although they may not get the aid in the manner that they may desire, Jesus never fails to aid all who call upon Him for assistance. The nobleman made a serious mis- take in believing that the presence of Christ was necessary to cure his son. The Master sought to develop the man’s faith into a truer conception of His power, by impressing upon him the spiritual significance of His deeds of mercy. There is in His words a condemnation of the attitude of men, who welcbmed Christ as a social worker, but failed to detect the evi- dence of His personality and spiritual mission in His miracles. The faith of the king's servant was so weak that it depended upon the actual presence of Jesus to heal the stricken son. It had passed from a confidence in the Lord's power, due to His reputa- tion, to a trust in His word. The man’s faith had to be tested. 1In no other way could it be strengthened. The Master declined to go with him, but E told him that his son was improving. His healing power had saved the lad's life. The father proved his faith in the Lord's promise by starting home immediately. Faith Rewarded. Leaving Cana about 1 o'clock he reached home, s we would say, that might; but as the evening marked the beginning of the day with the Jews, he probably did not reach Capernaum until after sun down. Be- fore he reached his home, the noble- man received the welcome news of his son’s recovery. Inquiry revealed the fact that his son’s cure ocom- menced at the very hour that Jesus had assured him that he would re- cover. This resulted in the noble- man and his family becoming fol- lowers of Christ Jesus. No better opening for His Galilean ministry could be asked than the winning of this high official. Our Lord avoided any spectacular display of power through refusing to go personally to Capernaum. He won His man by the performance of this second mira- cle in Galilee, which, like the first one, filled a home with happiness. Just as Jesus was the refuge and strength for the king’s servant, o He is today for all who are wearied and heavily laden. He helped them, though absent physically from the suffering child. He is today, as He was then, the Healer of our diseases and the strength of our life. We must not forget that sometimes physical maladies are a source of spiritual help. Paul found that the thorn in the flesh was not removed, when he asked for it, but that he was “made perfect through weak- ness” The nobleman’s faith de- veloped under the teachings of the Christ. Our faith will grow if we make it a habit to take all our prob- lems to the Lord Jesus, who is “the way, and the truth and the life. It we refuse His aid, our end will be like that of Capernaum, that re- jected its great opportunity.
