The difficulty of understanding the call letters of distant stations supplies a continual urge to inventors of new ways of signing off. One way, suggested by Dr. C. M. Swingle of Cleveland, is to play a series of musical notes instead of to speak the letters. Probably a better device would be a short musical phrase like a bar of “Home, Sweet Home” played on some instrument like the chimes. In time the, fans would come to recognize this us the property of the station using it. Tests for World Transmission.

It saves the price of a tube, a socket and a rheostat, as well as current from a storage battery, and gives good, clear reception. From the standpoint of highest sensitivity and consistent operation, the vacuum tube is superior. Therefore, the informa- tion you received may have been cor- rect, although it was not complete. Both the crystal and vacuum tube de- tector have thelr place in the reflex set, but each is better from some spe- cific standpoint.

HELD IN RADIO THEFT. Three Accused of Stealing $15,000 in Sets and Accessories.

They were Martin Chate, James De Luca and May Fischler, a radio supply store pro- prietor. According to the police, Chate and De Luca were accustomed to visit radio purchasers of & local department store and remfve expen- sive sets ostensibly to repair them.

FIFTEEN MINU Nos 3, The Radio Dead Spot. Practically every radio editor in the country receives many letters from fans who want to know why it is that they cannot get a certain station well or in many cases cannot get that par- ticular station at all while he does get all the other stations and in spite of the fact that John Jones, located not more than a mile away, gets per- fect reception from the station which it 1s almost impossible for him to get. In many cases he asks whether it is possible that there may be some- thing wrong with his receiver. In some cases the trouble may be with the receiver, as, for instance, in cases where the receiver is not prop- erly designed to tune-in stations on comparatively high or low wave lengths, In such instances, of course, the only thing to do is to improve the receiver by changing the tuning units or substituting properly designed units which will tune-in the stations desired. But this is not the trouble which I want to take up in this article. If you find that you can tune to the highest wave-length stations and to the lowest wave-length stations, but that a particular station or stations within that range absolutely retuse to do you the honor of visiting you in spite of your most heroic efforts to coax them in, you may rest assured that nine times out ten the trouble is that you are located in a dead spot with regard to that station. A radio dead spot may be likened to the shadow cast by an obstruction in the path of light. If you erect a partition of some transparent material like glass, light will go through it and illuminate the space back of it just as though there were no partitions there at all. If you use a material like a white win- dow shade for the partition a con- siderable amount of light will filter through, but it will not be as’ intense as before with the glass partition. If you use a more opaque material some light will still filter through and other light will be reflected into the space behind the partition, but the intensity will be much less than before, while if you use a very opaque material, such as wood or metal, you will get almost total darkness, de- pending on the amount of light which will be reflected into the space be- hind the partition. If the partition is very large and very opaque the space just behind the ! partition will bg yery dark, If, hows TES OF RADIO EACH DAY BY JOSEPH CALCATERRA, Noted Authority on Radio.

In the very shadow or vicinity of the obstruction the signals from the broadcast station lose a considerable amount of their intensity because of the absorption of energy by the steel structure of the building. As the waves travel on past the obstruction they close in again just as though noth- ing had ever impeded their progress, so that receivers located a considerable dis- tance back of the obstruction have no difficulty with reception in much the same way that areas some distance beyond an opaque object are lighted up by the light which goes over the edge of the partition. 1f you are in a dead spot there is nothing you can do except to get a more sensitive set that will operate on the smaller amount of energy available in that locality.

He had hoped to spring on her back But he hadn't been quite quic enough. She was not fully grown, but still she was big enough to fight hard, and so Yowler hesitated. But it was only for a moment. He knew that she was young and probably never had been in a fight. He was quite willing to be bitten and scratched a little for the sake of such a dinngr as that voung Otter would make him. So with a snarl Yowler | sprang at her. He tried to seize her by the throat, but she was too quick for him. The spitting and was no longer any fear in that young Otter. She was simply fighting mad But Yowler was bigger and stronge and he was an old fighter. It cer tainly looked bad for that willf heedless, young Otter. (Copyright 1924, by T. W. Burgess.)
