DAVENPORT, Tow Stgtion WOC, at Davenport, Iowa, has faBtituted a new idea in radio clubs, which has proven to be very popular with the listeners. The Happy Homes Club is the outcome of almost two years of broadeasting of household hints service. The countless listeners to the schedule were invited to send in their ideas of various dishes, etc., and should they prove worthy they were to be broadcast. Thousands of Tecipes poured in for days and were all carefully read and sorted. Those found worthy were passed on to the rest of the audience by means of the radio, making each listener a neigh- bor to her sister club members. As time passed, some of the ladies became very popular, due to their clever recipes and houschold hints, and a correspondence was started be- tween the listeners on the schedule, the outcome of which was a request that the station formally unite them into a club. This work was carried on by Announcer G. W. W., in charge of the home service, and the club became an established fact. All listeners are' considered mem- bers, but as soon as one has sub- mittde an “Item of interest worthy of broadcasting,” she receives a very pretty membership certificate classi- fying her as an active member and promoting her from the classification of associate. The work of the club is not entirely confined tothe cuisine of the home, but covers all the category of things which interest the modern American housewife, such as needie- work, poetry, economics for the home, travelogues, book reviews, humorous stories, children’s games and végue. it et Assigned U.

RADIO QUERIES Radio Editor: I wonder if you or some of the fans can tell me what station I heard sign off at 11:58 o'clock Friday night, after playing “Roses of Picardy,” “What'll I Do" and “It Had to Be You"? The announcer said it was the Monticello Hotel Dance Orches- tra, then mentioned the call letters and sald: “Down in Old Virginia.” The wave length was between 273 and 283 meters. I am very anxious to know what station this was. The radio page is the first thing T look at in your paper and enjoy read- ing and answering the questions very much.

How to Bulld a Simplex One-Tube Loudspeaker Set.—Part I. of the simplest, yet withal efficlent, sets which the radio cur can build is a one-tube re- ative set using a variable selec- tor as the tuning element; a variable condenser to tune the grid circuit and a varfometer in the plate circuit to provide the regenerative features. This type of set is not only very easy to build but it has that most desirable characteristio of stablility and dependability not usually found in so-called “trick circuits.” There are only three adjustments, none of them very critical, so that it is one of tho simplest sets to operate, and falls in the class of receivers that “a child can operate.” Notwithstanding its simplicity of constructlon, few parts, and ease of operation, the set is very sensitive and selective. All local statlons, and by this I mean stations over 25 miles away, can be tuned in with sufficient volume to operate a loud-speaker so that music and speech can be heard clearly throughout a fairly large room. To Get Volume, All that is necessary to get all that volume that any one could wish for is to add a one-stage audio ampli- fier unit such as was described re- cently in these columns. Two bind- ing posts connected into the plate circuit of the receiver have been provided, so that this addition can be made with very little trouble. The wiring of the receiver is shown below.
