WRC HAS VARIED | PROGRAM TONIGHT Music and Good Stories Will Make Up Three-Hour Schedule on Air. vocal and ° instru- mental recitals, and a thrilling sea tale are the outstanding attractions on the diversified program! tonight of WRC. The station will be on the air for about 3 hours. The Hotel Roosevelt Trio and the Better 'Ole Club Orchestra hold the pivotal positions on the musical side of the program. Capt. F. B. Bassett, hydrographer of the Navy, is billed for the feature address, which will be built around the mysteries of the deep sea. Gertrude Smallwood, pianist, Mabel Flohr, contralto, and Hazel Hughes e the artists who will entertain be- tween the chief attractions. Hook Kennedy, the “Scotch Songbird.” will be called on to close the program at 10:15 o'clock. Dance music, Repertoire of Music. The Better "Ole Club Ore! open the program at 7:30 o'clock with a repertoire of snapp: ncopep” selections. Maj. R. E. Carlson of the Bureau of Standards will follow with a talk on “Safe Driving at Night.” which will be given under the a pices of the American Automobile Association. Between 8:30 and 9:30 o'clock. Miss Flohr and Miss Hughes will be heard in their recitals and Capt. Bassett will zive his talk on “Wanderers of the Tcep Sea” The Hotel Roosevelt Trio will play from 8:30 to 10:15, but will take a brief intermission to allow WRC to retransmit the Arlington time signals from 9:35 to 10 o'clock, estra will Invite Children to Enroll. Alblon, WRC's children's story teller, has invited the young- sters to enroll in her Children's Radio Music Club. To become eligible, they ust pledge themselves to listen in cach Friday at 6 o'clock. If they are studying, they are requested what instrument they are studying and how long they have been work- ing. From time to time those chil- dren who are ready to do so will be invited to participate in the pro- grams. Several children volled and all of them strenuous efforts to qualify ciently to participate in the programs. The interesting thing is the number of boys who have cnrolled and ex- pressed their enthusiasm of the idea. A feature of the Friday programs will be a series of music stories for chil- dren told by Miss Louise lakin, di- rector of the Foundation School of Music. Miss Lakin will tell and illus- trate next Friday the story of “The Beginnings of Music.” Lat tell the childhood cxperiences of the great composers and will have selec- tions played from the composer whose story is presented Local Radio Entertainment Thursday, October 16, 1924.

Before starting on the construction of the aerial it is best to give some thought to the general situation and see where the aerial can be located to best advantage. In general, it is best to locate the set near the window through which the lead-in is to be brought. If it is at all possible, preference should be glven to the location which brings the set near a window through which the aerial can be brought and also near the pipe which {s to act as a ground. If this ideal condition can- not be attalned preference should be given to the location near the window. The lead-in wire should not touch the edge of the roof, the sides of the bullding or the walls of the room, for what will it profit you If you in- stall a very efficient lead-in connec- tion and are careful of the insulation of the aerial at its supports if the wire touches the grounded sides or other portions of the bullding? The leakage I8 often small, but it Is there none the less. = The different portions of the aerial and the lead-in wires should be sol- RADIO QUERIES Radio Editor: As the naval radio officer for this dis- trict perhaps you will allow me to in- form your readers where some of the “code "interference” comes from. The Navy is obligated to send out time and weather to ships at sea on an audible frequency. The Navy is not much interested in modulated transmis- sion for its own use, as ‘continuous wave,” or C. W., seems at present far superior. However, there are many Shipping Board and commercial stations which cannot receive C. W., and *‘modu- lated” is therefore imposed on us. During the Summer, while the Arling- ton tune set was being modified, the time was sent out on the navy yard tube set, designed for C. W. This set used rectified 500-cycle current and by cut- ting out the filter, transmitted C. W. with 500-cycle modulation. The har- monics, which had not previously both- ered the broadcast listeners, then be- came audible. As soon as the material could be put together, the sct was screened and the harmonics reduced, but not eliminated. Time and weather are now sent out by Arlington at about 25-ampere radia- tion in the large antenna. which is the same radiation as previously used at NAA, and also this Summer at NAL, the navy vard station. This is about 3-K.W. output. My house is about 1 mile from WRC and WCAP and 3 from the yard. 1 listen on a neutrodyne, with an antenna on the roof, and I find that thesc sta- tions completely block off my recep- tion between about 430 to 500 meters, and therc is a very pre inent harmonic somewhere around meters, or course, loop reception would improve my conditions if 1 wished to use it The Navy output on time and weather is probably about six times that of the local stations, and a set which would be quite good enough as far as har- monics wis concerned on 500 watts would not fill the bill. We are trying to completely eliminate all interference, and think that in the last few days a very noticeable advance has been made. If this is noticeable to your readers, perhaps they will write you about it. All the code “interference” does not come from NAA or NAL. I frequently copy these messages for check, and would suggest that any of your readers who cannot read code, but who wish to identify the Na time signal (signed NAA. whether sent out from Arlington or the navy yard). tune in from 10 p.m. and note the settings. Any sub- sequent interference on some other sect- tings will then not be confused with NAA. Personally, T think that the people with oscillating receivers are a much worse pest than NAA. Many a time I have had rcception from KGO and other stations spoiled by some enthu- siast beating with the carricr wave. We all want to receive all the sta- tions, but let's g0 50-50 on it. We will do our best to climinate har- monics and you can let us know whether it helps you. and won't you use your influence to suppress (or chloroform) the “oscillators” >—ROB- ERT S. LOWELL. R iTH B zhsas siziesy Radio Monday night T received a station in Des Moines, lowa, broadcasting an organ recital played by Mr. Myer. When the station signed off shortly before 1 o'clock, Eastern standard time, it was announoed as the Elec- trie Light Co., Des Moines, lowa. Could you tell me the call letters and the distance from Washington to this station?—C. S. The only station in Des Moines, Towa, is WHO. It is operated by the Bantes Life Insurance Co.

The wire can be fastened to the loop ends of the in- sulators in the manner shown In Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 by doubling up about three inches of the wire, slip- ping the doubled end through the loop and twisting the doubled portion around the aeriul and lead-in wire. e ig!

Some fans seem to have the idea that it is necessary to have the hori- zontal portion of the aerial system absolutely level. Such is not the case and one end of an aerial system may be higher than the other. Remember, however, that the higher you erect your aerial, the better will be the results obtained. Then there is the matter of directional character- istics of the acrial. In general, re- ception is best from stations located In a line with the direction of the aerial and from the direction towards which the lead-in of the acrial is pointing. With the average small antenna used for broadcasting recep- tion, this directional effect is not very marked or worthy of attention. Pref- erence should be given to erecting the aerial as high as possible and as much as possible over clear ground. The effective length of the aerial is the distance from the farthest and to the binding post of the set and includes both the length of horizontal span and the length of the lead-in. It is best to make this total length from 100 to 150 feet for loud and long distance reception. In congested districts where there is considerable interference, it s best to limit the total length to about 100 feet at most. This will result in a decrease in signal strength, but will also result in minimizing interferenc: The financed wide, one re only tube Mt Ple Louis & K C.

Cardell Wells, colored, 2109 E street northwest, charged with the larceny of a revolver from Policeman Golden . Groves, was held for the action of the grand jury by Judge Schuldt in the Police Court yesterday. The bond was fixed at $1,000. The evidenge showed that Policeman Groves had arrested Wells and a col- ored woman and was taking them to the station house in Wells’ automobile, when Wells assaulted him, breaking one of his arms, and, taking the pistol from the police officer, drove off with the car and made his getaway. Later he was arrested. Wells charged that the officer, without provocation, shoved his pistol into the abdomen of Wells, and that he (Wells) took the pistol from the officer. John I.
