When the telegraphers working on the newspapers in Canada recently went on strike the broadcasting sta- tion of the Toronto Star sent out news bulletins at regular (ntarva}s during the day, so that the papers in the various sections of Ontario were able to get the latest news in spite of the telegraphers' strike, RADIO DIRECTORY Up-to-Date List of All Broad- casting Stations to Be Given Sunday. A complete and up-to-date directory of tho broadcasting stations in the United States, Canada, Cuba and Mexico will be published in The Sunday Star next Sunday. The directory will give the call, wave band, power in watts, and location of every statlon, in addition to its air line distance from Wash- ington. All of the last-minute changes in status of the stations, including the new stations licensed this week by the Department of Commerce, and the reallocated wave bands of the Pacific coast class B broadcasters put into effect Thursday, will be in the directory. . Numerous changes have been made in the status of the American broad- custing stations since February 4, when the Department of Commerce reallocated the wave bands of almost all of the class B stations east of the Rocky Mountains, rendering ob- solete broadcasting station directo- rles published prior to that date. Besides the reassignment of wave bands, a number of call letters have been changed and the power of some stations increased. All of these hanges have been made in The tar's new directory to bring it up to date. The distance in statute miles of all of the stations licensed to broadcast is the chief featurs of The Star's di- rectory. With this information the radio fan can easlly determine the reception range of his set. Radio Frequency Signals Tonight. Wave bands ranging from 952 to 2,400 meters will be covered by the Bureau of Standards in its semi- monthly broadeast tonight of standard radio frequency signals. WWYV, the Bureau of Standards station, will broad- cast the signals between 10 and 11:40 o'clock. The transmissions will b by unmodulated continuous - wave telegraphy. RADIO “PIE CONTEST” TO BE JUDGED TODAY WGY Engages Three Experts to Choose Winners of Prizes From 150 Submitted in Test. The first radio ple contest ever at- tempted has been inaugurated by station WJZ of the Radio Corporation of America as a direct outgrowth of the popularity of the WJZ “Hduse- wives' Hour,” which is a daily fea- ture of that station. Housewives within range of station WJZ wiil have an opportunity to demonstrate their prowess as ple bakers, the winner of the contest receiving, in addition to the prize, the title of the foremost radlo ple baker. Alr announcements concerning the contest have been broadcast from WJZ for the past week, and more than 150 pies are already entered in the contest. The Radio Corporation of will present three prizes makers of the three best judged by the committee of food ex- perts. Judging of the entries will take place between 3 and b o'clock this afterncon at the main ball- room of the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. Three of the leading food experts of New York City will act as judges, thelr decisfon being final. The pies will be presented to various charity orgunizations upon the conclusion of the contest. NOTED SOPRANO TO SING. Marguerite Namara, operatic soprano, will make her only radio appearance in America this season through station WJZ Wed- nesday night at 10 o'clock. The radio recital will be the second ap- pearance of the celebrated singer be- fore an American microphone, WJZ having transmitted a special pro- gram by Namara in the Fall of 1922 Namara is in this country for a short vacation, following her second season as leading soprano of the Opera Comique, Paris. Her only big recital in addition to the WIZ broad- cast Wednesday is scheduled for the early part of March at Town Hall, and immediately thereafter she will sail for a concert tour of Great Britain and Europe. She has been engaged as leading soprano for the famous Mozart Festival at Baden- Baden, Germany, this Summer, being the only American singer engaged for that gigantic production.

Just because a variable condenser is variable and can be adjusted to various values of capacity, there is no reason why this very essential part of a receiving circuit should Teceive so little attention from most io fans. “‘?node!lxnlnx: a set, the size of the variablo condenser which should be used receives very little considera- tion. The average fan disposes o this matter merely by saying, ‘1 don't know just what size condenser will cover the required wave-length band, so 1 guess 1 will use a .001 m-fd condenser, and let it go at that. The capucity of that size condenser is large enough to cover the band, so why worry about close figuring or determining the exact size by experi- mental methods.” This type of reasoning will usually result in the construction of a re- ceiver, which, while it gives good enough T Its, does not give the amount of satisfaction which it could be made to give if a little attention and care were given to just such de- tails as providing a condenser of the proper capacity range, not too high & minimum capacity and too high a maximum capacity and still not the other extreme of too low a min- imum capacity and too low & max- imum capacity. Determining the Size. The proper size to use, of course, will be determined to a great extent by the size of inductance coils used and by the type of transformers used in radio frequency stages. The proper size can be determined only by proper calculation, taking all the factors into consideration, or by the rule of th\gmh method of trying out different sizes until a proper balance between in- ductance and capacity is obtained. A few facts which will help vou in properly selecting the proper sized condenser and a few pointers on the effects of not giving due considera- tion to this question will be of value. In the first place, you cannot hope to get down to the low wave lengths if you use a variable condenser that has a high minimum capacity if yvou use such a condenser with a coil that has been designed for use with a condenser of good design, having a low minimum capacity. Even when all the rotary plates are out of mesh with the stationary plates the ca- pacity of the condenser will not be zero, but will vary from about 13 to 25 micro-microfarads, or .000013 to .000025 mfd. If you have too much inductance in your circuit and use such a condenser, it will be impos- sible to get down to the low wave lengths. Hints on Condenser. It you find that you can reach up into the high wave lengths without using close to the maximum capacity of the condensers the best thing to do is to use a condenser of a lower maximum capacity. This is better practice than taking turns off the coll, because by taking turns off the coil you will merely change the bad effect to the other end of the con- unless it has been difficult A THREE DAYY’ COUGH IS YOUR DANGER SIGNAL Chronic coughs and persistent 1ds lead to serious lung trouble. You can stop them now with Creo- mulsion, an emulsified creosote that is pleasant to take. Creomul- sion is a new medical discovery with twofold action; it soothes and heals the inflamed membranes and kills the germ. Ot all known drugs, creosote is recognized by the medical frater- nity as the greatest healing agency for the treatment of chronic coughs and colds and other forms of throat and lung troubles, Creo- mulsion contains, in addition to creosote, other healing elements which soothe and heal the inflamed membranes and stop the irritation and Inflammation, while the creo- sote goes on to the stomach, is ab- sorbed into the blood, attacks the seat of the trouble and destroys the germs that lead to consump- tlon. Creomulsion is guaranteed satisfactory in the treatment of chronic coughs and colds, bronchial asthma, catarrhal bron- chitis and other forms of throat and lung diseases, and 15 _excellent for building up the system after colds or the flu.

Remember that the loss the capacity range of the con- denser, within limits which allow you to tune in the broadcasting range of wave lengths, the easier it will be for you to tune in the distant sta- tions, because a comparatively large change in dial settiig will produce only a comparatively small change in capacity and make change of the capacity in the circuit advance in small steps as against change in large steps when a high capacity con denser is used. In buying a condenser get a good standard make. See that it is built ruggedly, but not with too much metal in the end plates or frames. There is no mneed to discriminate against bakelite or hard rubber end-plate condensers, because if they are well made they are just as eflicient as the | metal end-plate variety See that the connection from rotor plates to the rotor terminal is made through a or through a good friction If a good friction bearing is used, a pigtail condenser is not necessary. Last, but not least, buy your con- densers by capacity rating and not by number of plates. Number of plates does not mean anything, al- though they give vou a small idea of the possible rating of the con- denser. the o] (-] Why! . —should we be deprived of the pleasure of the local re-broadcasting of the— VICTOR CONCERTS CHAS.
