By the Associated Press. LONDON, April 13.—The rapid spread of radio broadcasting popu- larity in England has hit the mu- sical profession pretty hard, accord- ing to & number of popular concert artists’ managers, but the powers that be In the musical world seem in- clined to attribute the slump in con- cert attendance not to wireless com- petition, but to dull concert pro- grams, Sir Landon Ronald, director of the Guild Hall School of Music, has al- ready come forward with the state- ment that concerts must be bright- ened if they are again to become a paying proposition. A number of leading vocal artists have seconded the suggestion that a majority of the present-day programs are completely out of date and that no progress has been made in the management of con- certs in a quarter century, while at the same time the halls available in London are dingy and old-fashioned, with uncomfortable seats. While the reditals of individuals have always been more or less unre- munerative unless the artist had at- tained front rank in his or her pro- fession, it is news to the nfajority of the British music lovers that or- chestral and choral concerts have not been paying. A number of promi- nent musical authorities already have taken steps in an effort to entico those who have strayed away. PROTEST INCREASES IN CLASS B STATIONS Radio Magazines Plan Fight to Relieve Crowding of Wave Bands. Four of the leading radio publica- tions of the country have made plans for a Summer campaign to reduce the number of Clags B broadcasting stations, it was learned today follow- ing an opening broadside against the air congestion published by one of the magazines. Intimations that the drive against the crowding of the wave bands would be launched were given to De- partment of Commerce officials at the recent conference in New York, at which the metropolitan situation was discussed. The magazines, it is un- derstod, will urge a complete revision of the present allocation system, the revocation of licenses from stations which do not use thelr time on the air and the refusal to grant any more licenses for Class B plants. Coincldent with the beginning of the campalgn, the radio section of the Department of Commerce has started a survey to determine the number of its allotted hours each of the B broadcasters employs every week. It is belleved by officials, how- ever, that only one or two stations will be found which are not Keeping on the air regularly during all or most of their available time. More Conferences Planned. Additional conferences with owners of Class B statlons also are planned by the department, one this week l\:l Chicago and a second probably next week in the New England district At these meetings it is hoped that the station owners themselves can arrive at plans for elimination of in- terference within their districts. Ap- plications for additional licenses also Will be discussed at these regional conferences. - In the way of discouraging pro- spective broadcasters from entering the already overcrowded field, lh_e De- partment of Commerce has ‘done everything but order the new- comers to stop congtruction. In spite of this, however, there has been no noticeable decrease in the number of petitions. It is understood that the magazines will urge the calling this Summer or Fall of a fourth radio conference in| Washington to consider a complete revision of broadcasting bands. The new uses to which the low-wave bands have been put and the growing interest in the higher waves are argu- ments which will be advanced in sup- port of their plea for another govem.l mental parley. { ENGAGEMENT OF GIRL, 18, TO MARCONI IS DENIED Father of Miss Betty Paynter,| British Beauty, Contradicts Report Through Press. By the Associated Press. i LONDON, April 13—In a note to the press today, C. H. Paynter says: “Please contradict the statements in the press that my daughter, Betty Paynter, is engaged to Senator Mar- coni.” The London Daily Express last Wednesday said it understood the en- gagement would shortly be announced of Willlam Marconi, the wireless in- ventor, and Elizabeth Narcissa Payn- ter, 18-year-old daughter of a Corn- wall family, whose father was an intimate friend of Senator Marconi. The newspaper quoted Miss Paynter's mother as declaring: “Nothing definite regarding an en- gagement can be said yet, whatever may be made known in the future.” The Express commented on the beauty of Miss Paynter, describing her as a splendid example of country girlhood, and sald that Signor Marconishad been a frequent visitor to the family home at Bosquenna, where he installed a radio receiving set which enabled him to talk from his yacht Electra at sea.

All Rights Reserved. Reproduction Prohibited. Some Facts About Different Types of | Superheteroiyne Circuits. Part L The purpose of this series of articles is not so much to discuss the now well known principles of the super- heterodyne and how the principle wa discovered as it is to outline the vari- ous ways which have been used to accomplish the end desired, namely, of changing the incoming short wave into one of greater length or lower frequency for most efficient amplifi- cation. A very brief description of the prin- clple involved, merely to refresh the memory of some who have not given the subject very much thought, will therefore be all that will be taken up in this article on the fundamental theory of the circuit Frequencies and Oxcillation. Radlo engineers before Armstrong's time knew that the combination of waves of two different frequenci could be used to produce a wave of a frequency equal to the difference be- tween the two. Kessenden, it seems, was the first to introduce this prin- ciple into practice for the purpose of recelving continuous waves by p ducing an audible beat note by the Interaction of a received continuous wave and a continuous wave produce by a local osclllator. The principle of the heterodyne ac- tion in connection with radio waves is similar to the principle of beat production in sound waves. , It was also known that amplifica- tion at radio frequencies could best be accomplished by the use of long waves. Short waves of the type used In radio broadcasting do mnot lend themselves to cfficient amplification at radio frequencies Prineiple of Superheterodyme. It was Armstrong who put two and two together to make four. He rea- UTILITIES BOARD DECISION MAY SHUT DOWN WCAP Holds Broadeasting Cost Not Prop- er Charge Against Phone Operation Expense. Radio broadcasting by public serv- lce corporations has been hit a blow by a decision of the District of Co-| lumbia Public Utilities Commission. | The commission holds that a broad- | casting station must stand on its own | feet and that the cost of its installa- tion, equipment and operation is not & proper allowance In fixing the val- uation of the owning company for rate-making purposes. This decision was reached in the| case of Station WCAP, owned and op- erated by the Chesapeake and Poto- mac Telephone Company, one of the two broadcasters of the Bell tele- phone system. In passing upon the valuation of the company the com- mission_struck out $125.000 claimed as an allowance for WCAP. Officials of the telephona company were silent today when asked if the decision might result in removal of the station to another city. “There is nothing that can be said just now,” one official explained. “The most we can promise is that WCAP will be on the air Sunday and fon- day. It is understood that a study will be made of the actual cost of the sta- tion during the past year in which it has operated as a commercial station to determine whether the sale of time | on the air can make broadcasting profitable ‘Want Esperanto on Air. A new radlo perfodical is being published in Switzerland in the “in- ternational” language, Esperanto. The new publication comprises four pages and is called Radio-Servo. It is of newspaper size and devoted in | complaints, soned that for most efficient amplifi- <ation at radio frequencies long waves were rejuired. He also reasoned that the short waves could be changed into long ones by the use of the heterodyne principle. The result of Dis reasoning was the circuit to which the name “superheterodyne” was ap- plied. The usual procedure is to have a locally produced oscillation act upon the received oscillation to produce a long wave oscillation for much effi- cient amplification. The usual superheterodyne circuit consists of a detector for bringing in the desired signal; an osctliation for produciing local oscillations to act upon the received oscillation; three stages of sharply tuned {ntermediate amplifiers which amplify the result- ant oscillation at a predetermined frequency best suited for amplifica- tion; a second detector for reducing the signal to audio frequency, and one or two stages of audlo frequency amplification to increase the audibil- ity of the signal. Amplification Explained. matter what the frequency of the incoming signal, the oscillator can be adjusted to the required dif- ference to produce an oscillation of the frequency decided upon as the best for efficient amplification. This is the frequency to which the intermediate amplifying transformers are tuned. A frequency of 30 kilo- cycles, or 10,000 meters, is acknowl- edged to be the best for all general purposes. The fact that the radio frequency transformers can be tuned rather sharply, especially the input air-core nsformer, produces a filter system that gives the utmost in the way of selectivity. In the matter of selectivity the su- perheterodyne stands supreme WAVE LENGTH ROWS ON IN NEW ENGLAND Number of Stations Appeal for Leave to Change for Bet- ter Locations. No Having effected at least a tempo. rary solution of the New York City broadcasting problem, the Depart- ment of Commerce s now confronted with a new outbreak of the “wave- lengthitis” epidemic, this time in New ingland. According to its established method of treatment in other localities, the department has suggested that the stations involved first write their own prescriptions. If this proves in- effective, it is possible that another remedy may be provided by the radio diagnosticians at the Capital. About the only New England sta- tion that is fully contented with its lot is WBZ, Springfield. WNAC, Bos- ton, and WJAR, Providence, have in- quired as to the possibility of chang- ing their wave-lengths to more de- sirable locations, and the C. T. Sherer plant, at Worcester, is particularly desirous of moving up with the class B broadcasters. According to the files in which the radio section of the Department of Commerce places its Interference the ethereal congestion in New England is perhaps worse than in any other section of the country. As a further indication of the popularity of radio in the North- eastern State is noted the fact that of the stations which turned in their lcenses during February, none is in New England. As the first step toward quieting the air, particularly around Boston and Providence, and satisfying, as part to propaganda for making Es- peranto the world-wide language through its use in radio broadcasting. far as possible, the requests of the class B stations, it is planned to hold a conference of all of the New Eng- Dr. Lyon’s when you tire of either the harsh grit or powerful flavor of your dentifrice.
