D. ¢, TUESDAY Adventures of No. l.—America’s First In the first place, I never did, and I never will, quite understand how we got away with It. I had just concluded my weekly broadcast of “The Political Bituation in Washington Tonight” at sta- tion WRC Tues- day evening, March 3, 1925, when the station manager flabber- gasted me by say- ing: “How would you like to take the air tomorrow morning on the inaugural stand on the east front of the Capitol and speak @ short plece just before President Coolidgo comes on?" * % % % After I had recovered consclous- ness and regained the power of speech 1 rejoined that It was all right with me, if the supreme digni- taries in charge of the morrow's pro- ceedings had no objection.

David Sarnoff has kept his promise to the listeners of the United State Six months ago ,the young vice president and gencral manager of the Radio Corporation of Amerdca faced the third annual radlo conference called by Secretary of Commerce Hoover in Washington and assured the radio public that, given the use of 50 kilowatts of power, he would make British voices and _British musie audible In the United States. Now he has startled the listening East with an unannounced concert from the Savoy Hotel, London. The program was rebrowdcast simul- taneously Saturday night by WJZ, New York, and WRC, Washington. An earlier attempt at transoceanic broadcasting Thursday apparently failed The second concert, the real thing, and to those who tuned in transoceanic radio con- corts passed once and for all out of the realm of theory. Sarnoff had brought British voices and British music clearly to America, and had done it with half the power he had suggested. This success is just a beginning of 1s to be done on the alr that covers the Atlantic. It was learned today that the British programs will be repeated as often weather and other conditions permit. And although for the time being Sarnoff {s unable to carry out another promise—to send American music across the Atlantic to Europe in return for the British and Con- tinental programs—it i{s believed the however, was x ¥ % x .. 8 am. of Inauguration March 4, 1825, Telephone rang {s Berkeley, at WRC.

Police quote the girl “He choked me and then told me he would drag me off the school grounds and kill me uniess I went with him to get married. 1 was afrafd of him and he he loved me.

Hunting Trouble in Reflex Recelvers Part It also is possible that there may be a broken connection in the radio or audio frequency transformer winding connected in the plate circuit. A considerable amount of trouble in reflex and other circuits would be eliminated if the transformers and other instruments were tested before they were used in the thereb, eliminating the posibility of poor re- sults from the use of defective ap- paratus. Care should should, of course, circuits. If you have no trouble in getting low wave-length stations, but find ft difficult to tune in the higher w length station, that is to say you cannot cut in enough condenser ca- pacity to tune to the higher waye lengths, try connecting another varf- able condenser in parallel with your present condenser and see whether hat. does not reme the difficulty. If you do not have another variable condenger, a fixed condenser will da for the me being to make the test. If you find that the added capaci eliminates the trouble, substitute higher capacity condenser for yo present one. Body capacity or trouble due to de- tuning of the set when the hands are removed from the dials can usual- 1y be overcome by reversing the leads to the offending condenser. In all cases the rotary plates terminals of a variable condenser should ba connected with the side of the cir- cuit farthest from the grid or high potential side of the circuit. o PERM!S-SION IS GRANTED FOR KAROLYI TO SPEAK be tested for shert be used in soldering rminals to avoid the application of heat enough to discon- nect the scldered connection from the winding to the terminal on the inside of the {nstrument. Jacks, of course, are responsible for their share of trouble in reflex as well as in other types of circuits. These should be carefully tested before be- ing put in a set and should be mount- ed in such a way as to be accessible for cleaning contacts and bending springs into contact Weak signals may be caused by run-down batteries; poor contact be- tween various terminals; connection of grid returns to the positive in- stead of the negative side of the A battery; reversal of A battery con- nections; open connections in the grid ciréuits and by a poor aerial instal- lation. A poor crystal detector will invari- ably cause weak signals. In mapy cases a set will not “re- flex” properly unless the radio and audlo frequency transformer termi- nals are connected properly into the circuit with the polarities of the vari- ous coils connected in proper rela- tionship with each other. A good way to test this is by re- versing connections to cither primary or secondary windings or both of each transformers until the best method of_connection Is found. When the circuit is operating properly a howl should be heard when the catwhisker of the crystal detec- tor is lifted from the cryatal in the case of an adjustable crystal or when the erystal is disconnected the case of a fixed crystal. 1f you do not get this howl under those conditions, reversing the trans- former connections will usually rem- edy the trouble.

R. Castle, jr., chief of the division of western Huropean af- fairs. Count Karolyi has been inwvited to speak before the Open Forum. It stated that when Karolyi, a well known Hungarian Liberal, came to New York to visit his wife, who was dangerously ill, he agreed not to en- gage in_ “political activities” while in the United States, but there was nothing in this pledge to prevent hi; making speeches if he desired, Rev. G. M. Johnston, chairman of the Open Forum, said.

It was a long time before I ever accustomed myself, at WRC, to speaking for 15 or 20 minutes, without the encouragement of ap- plause from persons I could see be- fore me. Here, at last, was an au- dlence of audiences. It stretched farther than my naked eye could see —hundreds of vards farther. It was S0 immense that it obliterated the landscape loveliness of the Capitol plaza. Even the trees were occu- pied. Around every monument and lamp-post humans were perched and clustered like birds. The roofs of the majestic Congressional Library and of the marbled Senate and House Office buildings, respectively to left and right, were thronged. In every direction faces and heads and human forms—not a sca of them, ocean of them. To my astonishment the moment my words began floating out there came over them a silence that was terrifying in its profundity * % % x The radio experts ward that I had that my voice lacked a little of its customary ease and resonance.
