The hold-up men according to their well worked ot and probably rehearsed plans, made their getaway in a high powered car. ‘A pedestrian across the street got the last two numbers on the license plate at the rear end of the fleeing machine.

DRUG SALES ENORMOUS. i Survey Shows Wholesale and Re- | tail Expansion. i Special Dispatch to The Star. NEWARK, N. 1. June 20.--The Nation's retail drug trade now aggre- gates $35,000,000,000, it is shown by surveys whose results are made pub- ylfl‘ by the National Wholesule Drug- ':isls' Assoclation. The total volume of wholesale drug sales is estimated at $417,000,000. There are 202 service wholesale drug- gists serving 50,000 retailers, who reach an average of 435 families each and a total of 21,000,000 families. Of the 52,304 retall drug stores in the United States 50,290 are independently owned and operated. About $23,000,- 000,000. or two-thirds of all the retail trade, is done by the independents. B R LTS L A Bohemian glasscutter was work- ing one day when a few drops of nitric acid fell upon his spectacles. ‘When he picked them up he was antonished to find that the acid had corroded and softened all the glass with which it had come into contact. He drew figures on a sheet of glass with a kind of varnish and then painted around the outline with the acid. As soon as the latter had had time to act he cut away the glass around the outline.

A concert by the choir of the Ohev Sholom Temple, under the direction of Cantor Calmus, recently appointed head of the organization, will be one of the leading events to be broadcast rext week by station WRC. The Ohev Sholom concert will broadcast Tuesday night from & 8:30 o'clock from the new studios at Fourteenth street and Park road. Other outstanding features of the week's broadcasting from the Radio Corporation station include a detailed account of the Poughkeepsie intercol- legiate regatta, Monday afternoon; the fourth of the Wanamaker concerts, which will feature the Apollo Male Quartet; the Fay Foster Quartet and the Alda Brass Quartet; two concerts by the United States Marine Band— one on Wednesday afternoon from the be | Capitol steps and the other on Thurs- day evening from the Sylvan Theater; the regular Saturday program of “Crandall’s Saturday Nighters,”anda resumption on Friday afternoon of the play-by-play accounts of the base ball games played by the Washington world champions abroad. Luncheon concerts will be played daily from three of the leading Wash- ington hotels—the Willard, the Shore ‘ham and the Hotel Washingtoh. The week also will bring the last radio address by Frederic William Wile until Fall. Mr. Wile will speak Tuesday ht from $:30 until 9 o'clock ‘on “The Political Situation in Washington Tonight.” A short time later Mr. Wile will leave Washington for the Summer, but is expected to re sume his regular broadcast from R.

RADIO GOSSI When the three naval seaplanes hop off from San Diego for Honolulu early in September each plane will carry a complete radio outfit and a skilled radio operator. All along their transpacific route of approximatel; 400 miles radio will guide these ve: turesome aircraft, bringing weather reports, giving them their positions so they may keep on their course, and enabling them to send out queries or distress calls if they are obliged to come down on the ocean. Actually radio will serve them as an invisible guide and messenger: it is expected that all three ‘hlp*Afll the air will be in communication with ship or land radio stations all the way across.

A kito @erial i also carried on each of rthe planes for use when greater distances must be covered from the surface of the ocean than the wing aerials would serve. All aerials can be used for_reception as well as transmission. The sets are of the type used on naval fleet scouting seaplanes. which operate regularly up to 500 miles with reliability. Due to the fact that much of the plane construction is of metal. it has becn decided not to carry radio compasses, as is usually done, but to rely upon ship or shore stations to take frequent bearings from the radio signals of the planes and transmit to them thein positions, as is done by naval radio compass stations for ships. In order to conserve space and weight, the complete radio apparatus has been reduced in weight to 150 pounds, about an average man's weight. The transmitter itself weighs about 105 pounds. One operator will flv in each nlane. By means of onter- phones, similar to a small house tele- phone circuit, he can communicate with the pilot, navigator or with any part of the craft, relaying messages. This aerial Rum Runner to Radio Station. A rum runner confiscated off the Atlantic coast bas been purchased by Clarence K. Ogden, president of the Kodel Radio Corporation. and will be used on the Ohio River for broad- casting concerts, boat races and other features from towns between New Orleans and Pittsburgh. The rum yacht, formerly the Betty Marie, was shipped to Cincinnati last week by train. 1t will be skidded into the river and moored behind the Kodel factory. The boat is a 37-foot cabin cruiser, equipped with a galley, sleeping ac- commodations for 12 persons and carries a powerful engine. Wishing to experiment with short wave lengths, Ogden will apply for a license to operate a 20 to 30 watt transmitter on a wave length of from 40 to 50 meters. The boat will carry storage batteries, sufficient to give 700 volts and four 10-watt tubes will en- able the broadcasting of voice or music over a range of 500 miles. Collapsible entenna masts 25 feet high will be built especially for the river broadcasting station, the first of its kind in the Middle West. Rebroadcasting from WKRC will be one of the features. The concert sent from the boat or a river town will be picked up at the Alms Hotel and amplified into the transmitter of WKRC, which will rebroadcast with 1,000 watts power on a longer wave length. It is probable that operation of t “radio boat” will not begin until late Summer. as a special compact trans mitter must be assembled. . 1ol w. | them | Two pilots and navigators | 00 miles will be the maxi- | the wing tips and | D. ¢, JUNE 21, Local Radio Entertainment Sunday, June 21, 1925.

Substitute for Bedtime Stories. 1t radio bedtime stories are begin ning to bore American children per haps they would like “rising-time” dancing lessons, is the suggestion of Mme. Thamar Karsavina, recently arrived Russian court dancer. Be- tlieving that the most enjoyable forms of exercise is dancing, and knowing | American propensities for exercises, even early in the morning, Mme. Kar. savina believes broadcasting stations might profit in popularity by giving her idea a trial. 3 During her early studies she states |that when her dancing teacher, Mme. Sokolova, could not attend a rehearsal she directed them over the telephone. She hummed the tune first, then de- tailed minutely the execution of each step and whirl. so this premiere danseuse believes radio dancing is quie practical. The broadcasting of the daily set ting-up exercises to thousands of citizens makes for robust men and graceful women, and is as beneficial as maintaining a large standing army, she claims. As a further development she urges special early morning dancing exer- cises for the young folks. This Fall Mme. Karsavina will present her bal- let in Washington and other cities. Tip for Amateurs. Herman Burgess, operator of an amateur transmitting station at 2462 Ontario road, offers a suggestion to other “hams” who plan to listen for the Arctic signals this Summer. He write: “The best type of aerial for the bands of 20, 40 and 80 meter massages is of the vertical type 20 feet long, composed of four wires in cage fash- ion, followed by a counterpoise of a single seven stranded 40-foot wire 4 or 5 feet above ground. “The recelver might have a stage of audio frequency if desired. but it is not essential. The coils should be wound with wire certainly mot smaller than 18 DCC. The primary should “have five turns. secondary 12 turns and the tickler 12 turns. The secondary - should be shunted by a .0005 mfd. condenser with the plates cut back fan fashion to keep the sta- tions from crowding into one-half of the dial readings. Instruments should be spaced well apart »x crowding re- duces-the reception.” ) 1925— PART with | Denver | ; | are four stations broadcasting 'u. S.

Smith has a « will pay radio devotees to follow No. 21: Reflexing Made Plain. Smith had reached the point where he could look ov wiring diagram of a receiving set and see something | besides lines, but when he purchased a bookful of hook-ups for reflex sets he found himself just about where Smith, jr., would be with a caleulus text hook. “I looked ness.” he explained imagined it was one of the simp arrangements in radio. I've a friend at the office who ulwavs telle me that if 1 had a reflex set I wouldnt have to have so many tubss. And he even | simplifies reception bv using 2 loop aerial clusively.

Those tiny engines that run the foreign automobiles are very economical, but owners have 1o put up with a lot of gear shifting. It's the same with radio.

Evervthing is rather compaci Naturally. these feaiures are highly desirable in many cases “I think you're a little confused over these hook-ups because got reflexing mixed up with the generative idea. " In the latter. output from the plate circuit the | ietector is fed back to the grid ’( | vou've the the detector tube =0 45 to increase the strength of the incoming signals and thus increase the corresponding siz- nals in the plate circuit, which is af- | fected proportionally. in the reflex- | ing process, however, the idea is sim DlY to use the same tubes for radio and audio frequency amplification.” Smith admitted that all this sounded imple enough. but pointed to the com- Jicated diagrams and asked wherein hey suzzested anv such simplicity The trouble was that he was looking it a twotube reflex hook-up employ ng a fixed erystal detector. This pro. ided for two of radio iuency amplification and two of audio, making the set the cquivalent of sentrodyne. which emplovs five tubes There was only one thing to do and hat was 1o look up a diagram of the | Implest reflex set—a single-tube stages re. thereby. | the | frequencs program ve f.llowed John Smith in his daily Now he has taken up radio shou!d be amused and profit by his faculty for «finding out things.” so him in The Sunday Star eack week. flex receiver emploving a crystal de tector Here. however, It was neces 4ry 1o digress moment to explain why «crystal detectors are usuallv preferred in reflexes.

What worried Smith most with the single-tube reflex diagram was that frequency process seemed to come first. judging from the odd po sition of the earphones. Smith had been accustomed seeinz the ear phones in the plate cireuit. or at least bevond the detecior Reflexing is a simple enough process,” 1 told him. “but the method of arranging the various units is in genious. What vou really do in the simplest reflex set is (o pass the tuned » frequency current through the as an amplifier. Then you pass through a radio frequency trans former. through the crystal detector and then through an audio tramsfor mer. The current is then pulsating direct current instead of alternating and vou pass it back through the tube. The phones are placed between the plate of the tube and the radi frequency transformer. In this pe sition they seem: 1o be on the radi side of the detector. and in reality they are, but if you follow through the transformers and the de tector and then back through the tube again you'll that they are about where vould expect Thev're right in a direct circuit the ‘B battery and plate of Tube des their men Smiih evening 1 for hi to unders wants if anudio then with he arrange the te unigue went home to his radic set vith the men out all this considerablt who originall and he hegar nd why the true radio o build # set of his own he has a manufactured one Next Week, No speakers.
