NEW YORK, December 20.— That the movements of harbor tugboats can be successtully and instantly ordered by radio wi successfully demonstrated today, when for two hours New York Central tug No. 13 was dispatched by radio orders, The experiment was directed by the marine department of the New York Central Railroad and per- sonally supervised by G. Harold Porter, general superintendent of the marine department of the Ra- dio Corporation of America. It was demonstrated that much time could be saved by masters of the tugs not having to make shore for telephonic’ communic: tions with headquarters. It was the first experiment of the kind. Orders were sent by telephone to the Radio Corpora- tion's station WNY, Bush termi- nal, thence by radlo to the tug, under command of Capt. C. W. Degan. RADIO QUERIES Radlo Editor: Wednesday morning about 1 o'clock I heard 2XBJ testing on about 400 meters. Then about 1:20 I picked up a sta- tion on about 270 mete The call letters sounded like WORD, at Dris- don or Trenton. When I first had this station a woman was singing a solo; this was followed by a selection on an accordion. Then a talk was given about the modern inventions, wire- less, radlo, etc. After this talk a man sang two solos; the first was erusalem,” and the second was “Glory, Glory, Hallelujah.” The s tion then signed off, at about 1:50 o'clock. The announcer sald some- thing about testing. I would appreciate any information regarding either of the two stations I heard. T read your column every night and think it helpful. —C. S. | THOMAS. Jr The experimental call letters 2XBJ belong to Gimbel Bros’, station WGBS, In New York City. WORD is & new station in Batavla, Ill, and has not been fssued a license to broad- cast by the Department of Com- merce; neither has its permanent wave band been assigned. Radio Editor Could you tell me the location of station WCPO, which T heard Mon- day night. The only unnouncement made was “the Gold Medal station.” Your radio columns are always inter- egting.—E. W.

It is a (0-watt sta- tion and transmits om a 258-meter wave band. of the fans tell I heard it Wednes and letters G Radio Editor Recent complaints of interference remind me that some amateur, ov. dently in my neighborhood (Chevy Chase, Md.), bursts in with his spark as soon as the local broadcast sta- tions finish for the evening, and often before. Last Thursday night he called for a whole hour ABC or WGH, while the Le Paradis Orches- tra was on the air. This has been going on for a whole year, and in particular it was annoying at the time of President Wilson's funeral services, completely drowning most of the program.

How to Cut Down Juterference From Unwanted Stations. From time to time I get a letter from a long-suffering radlo fan, the substance of whose complaint is as tollows: “I live about a mile from station Blank and this station comes in so strongly that it is practically out of the queation to tune It out entirely and listen to the other stations which are sending out programs that T would like to listen to in preference to the program being sent out from the nearby powerful station. What can I do to eliminate this station and listen to those I want to hear?” A man in that position can, of forget about the other sta- nd listen to the nearby sta- night after night; he can move away where that station does not give him so much trouble; he can get & more selective receiver or he can take steps, to improve his pres- ent receiver so that he will not be troubled by the station, or, at least, S0 that he can reduce the inter- ference from that station. In most cases the first threes reme- dies are out of the question, so that the only thing left Is to improve the receiver with as little trouble as This can often be accomplished by the use of a separate unit called a rap. This (nstrument consists of a variable condenser and a coil connected In various ways to per- form the function of a filter clrcuit frequency to affect the recelving ap- paratus. One of the most efMclent and sim- plest methods of accomplishing this result is by connecting a .0005 mfd. varlable condenser of good quality in series with a 50 to 75 turn honey- comb coil. The parts for this Instrument can be arranged in a separate compart- ment or cabinet, not too close to the receiver tuning element The free terminal of the coil can then be connected with the aerial Post of the set and free terminal of the condenser can be connected with the ground post of the set A switch may be inserted in the aerial lead of ths trap so that when the offending station is not broad- casting the recefver can be tuned without using the wavetrap, thus making the tuning easier and the slgnal stronger. The use of a wave trap will usually cut down the signal strength of the desired station, but it cuts down the strength of the interfering station to @ much greater extent thus giving a more desirable result The action of the circult is to pro- vide a path of least resistance to the signal current of the offending sta- tion by tunigg the trap circult to the A where This property terms see to eliminate the undesired frequency and permit only the desired station's Repreduction Prekibited. offending etation's signal, while the tuning circuit of the recelver is tuned to the station desired. The trap will cut out one undesired station so that if an interfering sta- tion on a slightly different wave length is broadcasting at the same time as a station which you want to tune in without interference, you may cut out that station. If two sta- tions, one having a slightly higher wave length and another having a slightly lower wave length than the Like a property begins. cannot be surpassed from either home or investment viewpoints, and its residence sites will not be on the market long. prices, detailed For information and ALLAN E.
