SUPERIOR, Wis, December 30.— Wisconsin’s minimum wage law is invalid in its application to adult women, a final decree given by Judge Luse in Federal district court sterday declared. The decree also restrained the State Industrial Com- i from enforcing such pro- visions of the law. Judge Luse's ruling does not affect the law as it governs wages of minors. The findings are a result of an action brought by the Folding Furniture Works, Incorporated, of Stevens Point, Wis., which asked for an order re- straining the Wisconsin Industrial Commission from preventing the em- ploynient of women at a wage less than the 25 cents an hour set by the law.

Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, December 30.—Mrs. Louisa Porter, 18, and attractive, pleaded guilty in special sessions of petty larceny. Ministers in court sald she had aroused their sympa- thies by hard luck stories and while they were out of the room, getting | clothes or money for her, she took anything available. Onoe, testified, a minister arranged to send her to her home in Richmond, Va., and was going with her to the rail- x0ad station when she disappeared. John Larkin, investigator for the Stores’ Mutual Protective Associa- tion, said she passed a bad check for $7.50 and had similarly defrauded at least a dozen other department stores. Mrs. Porter wore in court a coat belonging to a fellow prisoner in Jefferson Market prison, who did not know the coat had been taken from her. However, she will get it back, as Mrs. Portey was remanded there to await sentence January 2. —e C Battery Doubles Volume.

Washington's radio fandom regis- tered keen disappointment today fol- lowing the announcement by WRC that its outstanding Tuesday night feature of the past three weeks— “The Brunswick Hour of Music'— would not be broadcast tonight by any of the Radlo Corporation of America stations. The Brunswick Company, It was pointed out, origi- nally planned only three radio con- certs as a test and made no arrange- ments to-continue the programs in- definitely. Whether the Brunswick Company will resume the radio concerts in the future could not be ascertained.. The plans of the Victor Talking Machine Co. to broadcast a series of concerts by its artists through a chain of sta- tions, including WCAP, however, are expected to draw tae Brunswick artists back to the air. WCAP, interconnected with WEAF and a number of other stations, will broadcast the first of the series of Victor programs Thursday night. Al- though Thursday night is WRC's pe- riod on the air, it has switched nights with WCAP and will broadcast to- night and tomorrew night. RADIO QUERIES Radio Editor: Will you or some one give me the following information: (1). What station was broadcasting an organ recital between 1 and 1:30 o’clock last Saturday morning? The selection I heard was “Love's Old Sweet Song.” (2). Also what station was broad- casting about the same time selec- tions * from “Sweep Your Troubles Away?” I heard them very plainly but the only announcement I picked up sounded like Rainbow Gardens. (3). T also would like to know what station was broadcasting from Ok- lahoma around 2 o'clock Saturday morning?—J. J. Sheridan. The organ recital you heard was broadcast from the Vicker's Theater in Chicago by KYW. The station which broadcasts from the Rainbow Gardens is WQJ, Chicago. Have no record of the stations in Oklahoma which broadcast early Saturday Radio Editor: Would you inform me what station was broadcasting a story by “Foxy Grandpa” at 5:30 o'clock Saturday afternoon? Also what station used the slogan “The Voice of the Lake"? Was WSAD broadcasting a program of dance music Friday evening at 7 o'clock?—HUGH DAVIES. WEEBH, Chicago, uses the slogan, “The Voice of the Great Lakes WSAD, Providence, R. 1., was sched- uled to broadcast last Friday between | 6 and 8 p.m. Radio Editor: Some time ago I read with interest the complaint of Mr. E. B. Lane with regard to interference from an ama- teur spark station in the v Chevy Chase, and in Friday's read with Interest the article by Mr. W. M. Browne, evidently an amateur operator, I do not agrees with Mr. Browne's views entirely, as I have met with the same interference as Mr. Lane complains of. This spark station be- gins 40 operate about 6 o'clock in the evening and runs almost continu- ously to midnight. During the last weelc or two this spark station has been almost incessantly on ths air during the evening, and in view of the fact that it is very noticeable along the entire wave band from 226 to about G536 meters, it is quite evi- dent that the station is located with- in the vicinity of Chevy Chase, where I also reside. Friday night I took particular pains to check up on this spark station and found the great- est interference on the .following wave lengths, to wit, 226, 273, 300, 337, 345, 436, 509, 517 and 536, I have a five-tube meutrodyne set, which type of receiver s non-oscil- latible, or is supposed to be, at any rate While I have had difficulty with this same spark station all during the Summer, it has been only in the last few weeks that it has become a regu- lar pest. My set Is very sensitive, as is evident from the fact that when either WRC or WCAP is on I can tune It out for WEAF without much difficulty, and I can get stations in the lower wave band five or six me- ters apart without serious interfer- ence, except that interference which is occasioned by this spark station. The operator of this spark station has a habit of keeping his spark on for lopg iIntervals between dots and dashes, apparently with the object of causing all_the interference he possibly can. Unfortunately I have not yet learned to read code. If the interference continues much longer I shall have & professional tele- grapher to “listen in” c,me evening for the purpose of localing this sta- tion, and when I get it located I shall send in to the authoritles a proper complaint. A number of good programs last week were utterly spoiled by this in- terfering station. ALBERT E. DUTERICK, 1 McKinley street northwest. SRR, X STEAMSHIP IS DAMAGED. Vessel Disabled in Gales Proceed- ing Toward Isle of Wight. LONDON, December 30.—A radio dispatch yesterday to Lloyds from the steamer Sarthe, which sent out SOS signals Saturday evening that she had been disabled in a gale south- west of the Scilly Islands, said the steamer was proceeding under her own steam without convoy, that all on board were well and that she ex- pected to reach the Isle of AWight Tuesday night. Then she would re- quire tugs, as she was unable to re- verse her engines. The Sarthe was instructed to pull into Dartmouth in- stead of Southampton. — e The first radio club In Russia has been organized in Poznan. The club's object is to arouse interest in radio. TIPS, 200, 2014 Base. FIFTEEN MINUTES OF RADIO EACH DAY —_— BY JOSEPH CALCATERRA Noted Authority on Radio. 4l Rights Reserved. The Antenna and Grid Circults. Part 11 There are several ways in which the constants of a circuit can be varied to produce the exact require- ments for tuning the circuits to a particular point of electrical resonance or syntony. At this point we will separate the grid and plate circuits and take them one by one, explaining in detail the various common methods of adjusting circuits to requirements. In yesterday's circuit the antenna cireuit consisted of a fixed coil con- nected between the antenna and ground. The coil had no means of adjustment and could not be varled to the constants required for differ- ent wave lengths. 1t is possible, however, by the sim- ple expedient of a tap or inductance switch, or by means of a slider con- tact arrangement of the type referred to as tuning coils, to vary the num- ber ‘of turns of the coil to permit tuning to different wave lengths. Element Is Variable. The symbol of one such arrange- ment which can be interpreted as using either a slider arrangement or a tap switch arrangement. The ele- ment is a variable one. If a tap switch is used, taps or connections can be taken off from the coil at every five to ten turns and these taps can be connected with the switch points of the switch. The number of turns in the circuit between the antenna and ground can then be varied by moving the switch arm from switch point to switch point. While this arrangement is better than the one where no adjustment at all is permitted, it is not satisfactory where the coll must be adjusted rather accurately, because the ad- justment can be made only within the limits fmposed by the rather coarse Beproduction Prohibited. taps that are taken on the coils. If, for instance, 23 turns would glve best results in the raception of a par- ticular staticn, the coil could not be adjusted éxactly to 23 turns, because taps are taken at every five turns, and the nearest adjustment that could be made would be to set the switch on either the twentieth turn or the twenty-fifth turn. Some radio experimenter, who real- ized this disadvantage of the single- tap switch arrangement, with the taps at every 6 to 10 turns, conceived the idea of using two tap switches, one to vary one end of the coll at every turn and the other to vary the turns in larger steps. The term usu- ally applied to this arrangement is the “tens and units” system of coil ad- justment, because usually taps were taken at every turn for 10 turns and each tap was connected with a switch- point on the “units” switch, and then taps were taken at every 10 turns for the rest of the length of the coil and the taps connected with the “tens” switch, The switch arm of one switch was connected with the antenna and the switch arm of the other switch was connected with the ground. The turns could then be varied in one-turn steps by setting the “tens” switch on the re- quired group tap and then making the finer adjustment with the “units” switch. Even this method did not make it possible to get the most accurate ad- justment often needed in recelving from distant stations when the con- stants must be just 8o, as the coil could be varled only one turn at a time, so that the nearest adjustment possible was within one-half turn above or below the required point, but in those days, when interference was not an important factor, because so few statlons were operating, the need for finer adjustments was not very great. _—_—nmnmmm RADIO’S BEST OFFERINGS .

HARRISBURG, Pa., December 30.— Poultry intended for {immediate slaughter may be shipped into Penn- sylvania from all states except Dela- Wware, New Jersey, Connecticut, New York and Rhode Island, Dr. T.

If the atmosphere is not free from static noises it {s useless to include radio- frequency amplification or to make heavy regeneration, because while these additions will Increase the sig- nal strength, they will also make the noises louder.
