Fourth of July will be cele- brated this year as never before, for it jwill bring practically every radio fan in the country into direct touch wifh Army headquarters in Washing- ton. On this date, ter day,” it is expected that 29 broad- casting stations in as ma cities will co-operate with the Signal Corps and the vstem in forming the most exte ‘hook-up” ever ef- fected.

Chapel staff : enport: Orchestra: solos 2:00—Concert from Garod studio: Charley | The city of Dallas, Tex., which was lthe first to install radio as an adjunct lof its fire alarm system, has modern- |ized its equipment so as to operate au- | tomatically from a 50-watt tube trans {mitter simultaneously with regular |fire alarm calls. | Invented and installed by Supt. | Henry Garrett of the Police and Fire Signal Department, this automatic ra dio fire alarm is unique in that it will enable headquarters to keep in touch with its stations, apparatus and men | practically all the time, insuring effi- cient operation, saving money and property, As well as considerable time. The alarm signals are not disturbing and are only on the air two or three ininutes. The Department of Commerce has assigned the call letters KVP to this !new station and a special operating {wave length of 146 meters, with the understanding that it will not be used for messages, but solely for transmit- Jting the fire box and code numbers. | The fire box numbers are intelligible |to all listeners, but the code numbers | notify drivers of apparatus to call| | headquarters for instructions and cr- | ders. As installed in 1921, the original s) tem was part of the program of the |city radio broadcaster, but now it is |separate. According to Supt. Garrett, the system is of great importance to the Dallas Fire Department, which |works its 380 firemen in two shifts. Most of the firemen have radio receiv- ers in their homes and, as many of them listen in when off duty, they keep in touch with headquarters. Ordina- rily they do not have to respond to alarms when not on duty, but they are required to do so on second or third alarms, Having heard a second alarm by radio, the firemen drive directly to the location in their automobiles. Sec- ond and third alarms are frequently sent out, and it is only by Tadio that| these men can be reached quickly/ enough to be of service in such emer- cles. * BNt large fires, when most of the ap- paratus was in action and the chiefs {and captains were on the scene, it ! \was almost impossible to get in touch with either officers or pieces of equip- ment, but under the new scheme this situation is handled nicely. If an Alarm is sounded for a fire in an- other part of the city it is immediately tecelved on the radio-equipped cars wherever they are, and some of the units are dispatched directly to the second fire without delay. The radio alarm system, which op- erates automatically whenever a res- ular alarm is rung at a fire box, also operates similarly when a fire is un- der control or extinguished, saving un- necessary wear and tear on apparatus and fuel. It also serves to recall units en route when not needed at the particular point threatened. Ap- paratus running to a fire some dis- tance from its station may be checked to normal speed or recailed by radio “taps” to its proper station. Usually the nearest chief reached the scene of the fire before the distant apparatus and is thus enabled to sound “taps if the fire is checked, relieving the ap- proaching fire equipment from duty in that section. If the chief on duty finds the alarm was only for a grass or automobile fire he immediately sounds “taps,” stopping all units which are not needed. | Besides reducing wear and tear on apparatus, the new system minimizes accidents due to rapid driving and saves fuel. But chiefly it enables the Fire Department to get back on its 8 TO 9 AM. music: v church * service Sunday school by Methodist Book Concern. rom Grace Church : Church services: Church gervices ... 10 TO 11 AM. uth Congregational Church services .

WIJD RADIO GOSSIP AND NEWS normal basis, with fts units at their proper stations or fire houses, far more quickly than was ever possible before radio signals were used. It is not alone in fire fighting that the Dallas fire equipment is used. Radio also serves in wrecks, storms and other emergencies. Special fire alarm cars always keep in touch with their respective headquarters and the men attached may be called by the central operator on duty. Calls of this type are sent out over the radio station KVP by special code signals, the specific numbers of which require only a few seconds for transmission. Amateurs Helping MacMillan. Short-wave radio transmission is now undergoing its most grueling test at the hands of John L. Reinartz, radio operator of WNP, station aboard the Bowdoin, flagship of the Navy- MacMillan expedition to explore the northern waste lands. From the day the Peary, sister ship of the Bowdoin, sailed from the Bos- ton navy yard on Bunker Hill day Mr. Reinartz has been at work with the short-wave stations on both ships. His tests are designed to demonstrate which wave length is the best for use after the expedition reaches Green- land. Tentative schedules are in effect at WNP, and North American members of the American Radio Relay League, through speclal arrangement with the league, are providing the check-up for the success of Relinartz's experi- ments. WNP is at work four periods in the day. After Mr. Reinartz has completed these tests he will try for an extended range that will permit subsequent news dispatches from the Far North to be sent through a large number of American, Canadian and other sta tions. He plans to steer clear, if pos- sible, of the difficulties that beset the last MacMillan expedition, when at times only one station was able to gather news dispatches from Comdr. MacMillan. Shortly before reaching its destina- tion the expedition will enter the land of perpetual Summer daylight. From that time forward to the end of the Summer all work probably will be on waves of 40 meters or below. The fact that Reinartz is one of the great- est exponents of the daylight short- wave theories will add interest to the results attained. e Amateur Gets New License. Rufus P. Turner, one 'of Washing- ton’s most ardent amateurs, who operates station 3LF, has been awarded a ne#v commercial operator’s license for use in broadcast stations— the second of its kind to be issued in the third district, which includes the National Capital. Turner passed the necessary examination at Baltimore June 25. Studies Fading Remedy. Fading, or the fluctuations in in- tensity of distant signals, is the heavy villain in the radio drama today, ac- cording to Dr. J. H. Dellinger of the Bureau of Standards. It does not bother fans much, except when they are striving to tune to and hold sta- tions over 50 miles distant, he points out. Although it is probably no worse today than it has been In the past, other enemies to good reception have been yielding to scientific de- velopment. Fading is yet unconquered, Dr: Dellinger adds, although he says we John Smith and His Radio BY FREDERICK C. RUSSELL Oar owners throughout the world have fellowed John Smith in his dally motoring—and have benefited thercby. Now he has taken up radio, ahd is willing that his fellow fans should be amused and profit by Ms evening expericnces. 8Smith Ras a faculty for “finding out things” so it will pay radio devotees to follow him in The Sunday Star each week. No. 22: Types of Loudspeakers Smith s a real radio fan now. He has started experimenting. He has found that there is pleasure in operating a radio set even if he pays no attention to what is coming in over the ether, for it is then that he is tempted to try little experiments that help to unfold the whole mystery of wireless communication. This explains how Smith discovered that he could not get any results from the phonograph horn when he sub- stituted one of the earphones for the loudspeaker unit and tried to make the crystal set do the work of the tube set. “That's funny,” he said. “When I put the phones to my ears I can hear our local station as though it were right in this room. Now why isn’t this noise amplified when I hold one of the phones to the place where the loudspeaker unit hooks on to the phonograph?” “Because,” I explained, “in your crystal set the only energy that causes the variations in pulsations in the phone circuit is that which comes in ouver the aerlal. In your tube set the pulsations are enlarged— amplified—by means of the ‘B’ bat- tery, current “I'm glad you explained this,” Smith sald, “because 1 thought there was something the matter with the earphones and I was about to take them apart. I might have ruined them.” That might have been a good in- vestment,” I retorted. “You might easily have learned something about loudspeakers, since the earphone is the basis of all the devices you see for the final reproduction of the re- celved sounds.” Smiith was somewhat surprised to learn that the difference between loudspeakers, as well as that between loudspeakers and earphones, was more than one of size. He had no idea that aside from variations in the size and design of the horns there are three broad classes of loud- speakers. The first is the simplest type, be- cause it is really an enlarged single earphone. It is known as the electro. magnetic type and does just about what its name implies. A thin fron disc, known as the diaphragm, floats on the poles of the electro-magnet. The magnet in the delicate radiophone recelver, or simplified loudspeaker, is usually referred to as a solenold, which {s the technical name for a wire spiral through which current is passed. For Smith's purpose it was only necessary to picture this part of the sound-reproducing equipment as a horseshoe-shaped coil of fine wire wound around an fron core. When current s passed through the cofl, or solenold, the fron cores attract the fron disc across their ends in varying degrees. In order to obtain more volume with the same amount of current a second general type of loudspeaker has been developed. This is known as the electro-mechanical type and is also just about what its name im- plies. Electro-magnetic force is sup- plemented by mechanical action. In this type the poles of solenoids do not pull directly upon the metal disc or diaphragm. The pull is upon an armature which. in turn, is connected with the diaphragm through a series of miniature levers Smith could clearly see how this gave a sort of mechanical advantage, making it possible to get a lot of volume from very little energy. Here I returned to the earphones to tell him that this mechanical type also s found in one of the popular earphones, though the armature and leverage action is necessarily minute. This gave me an opportunity to re- mind him that in buying phones it is important to buy the best, because cheap ones are not only easily dam- aged, but are frequently untuned— that is, in a_pair of good phones there is sufficlent equalization be- tween the two pieces, so that the same tune comes through each ear. “The third general type of loud- speaker mechanism is a little more complicated,” 1 added, “but it works on the electro-magnetic principle. It is the electro-dynamic type, wherein the miniature coil that receives the pulsations from the plate circuit of the set floats in an air gap which be- comes a strong magnetic field when current flows through a large wind- ing of wire. For this type a six-volt current supply for the large electro- magnet 18 necessary. “Of course, there are mixed types. And, finally, there is usually some method of controliing the volume or tone. In the first two types this is accomplished by a lever, which brings the solenoids nearer to or farther away from the dlaphragm or arma- ture, depending upon the type. In the last type the control is by means of a variable electric resistence.” All of which Smith admitted was a lot more than he would have given the loudspeaker credit for saying for itself. the Next Week, No. 23: Adding Power to Aerial. 1925 by the Ullman Feature Service.)

District Amateur to Exhibit. , The finger ring radio set of Her- man Burgess first displayed at Wash- ington’s Initial radio show and later at Chicago and New York, will be sent to England this Fall for exhibi- tion at the Manchester radio show. The set consists of 750 turns of small enamel wire, wound on a form one- fourth of an inch long. It has an adjustable detector and a radiocite crystal. WOC Increases Power. During the week WOC, at Daven- port, Iowa, was authorized to in- crease its power to 5 kilowatts, mak- ing the third broadcaster to go on this maximum power. The others are WLW and WSAI at Cincinnati. At the same time, WEAF, New York, was permitted to increase its wattage to 3,000, or 3 KW, and WCBD, at Zion, IN., went up to 2,500 watts. WRNY Improves Programs. WRNY, the new New York station, is unique in that it propos® to give us fans a good Summertime pro- gram. While many other stations are cutting their programs to the bone, orchestras are quitting the air here and there and star performers are signing off, this station plans a service calculated to interest all ama- teurs and fans. Among its features are hook-ups broadcast by Hugo Gernsback, editor of Radio News, and drawn on blanks furnished by the Experimenter publications. WRNY operates on 258.5 meters and, although a class A station, it is expected to carry as well as many long-wave, high-powered stations. Already it has been picked up as far west as Denver. It can be distin- guished on the air by its unique “staccatone” signal, a flute-like note emitted prior to its going on the air, during intermissions and following its last number. Radio Exposition Plans. Plans now afoot by leading broac casting interests in the United States, who will exhibit at the fourth annual national radio exposition, opening in Grand Central Palace, New York, September 12, will create in the e: position auditorium a new Tower of Babel, in which the voices of the world will be recelved by radio, ac- cording to an announcement by Har- old Bolster and J. C. Johnson, di- rectors of the exposition. Through the, broadcasting studios and receiving station to be set up in Grand Central Palace during exposi- tion week, probably London, and Berlin will be *plugged through high-power transmission and the first exchange of international concerts, it i8 expected, will take place on the opening night. Dis- patches from Berlin, reflecting the great public interest created in Ger- many by the announcement that an agreement had been concluded be- tween wireless interests in that coun- try and America for an exchange of radio concerts, are confirmed by ex- hibitors at the fourth annual na- tional radio exposition. Technical ex- periments, it is added, will begin almost immediately and by Septem- ber the regular exchange of concerts should be in force. . CONCERTS IN PROGRAM. Station WRC to Co-Operate With Others During Summer. Arrangements have been completed by station WRC to join with other Eastern stations throughout the Summer in broadcasting the stadium concerts to be presented in the Lewlissohn Stadium, New York City, by the New York Philharmonic Or- chestra. One or more of these concerts will be on the air from WRC every week until the latter part of August. Dur- ing the first three weeks of the con- certs Willam von Hoogstraten, fa- mous Dutch conductor, will direct and guest conductors for the follow- ing weeks include Nikolai Sokoloff of the Cleveland Symphony Orchestra: Rudolph Ganz of the St. Louis Sym- phony Orchestra and Fritz Reiner of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra. The first of the stadium concerts will be broadcast on the evening of July 11 from 7:30 to 9:30 o'clock.

By the Ascociated Prees. MOBILE, Ala., June 27.—Twenty- three men,” members of the crews of the seven boats captured in the gulf with a cargo of rum roughly valued at three-quarters of a million dollars, were charged with smuggling today. Warrants were sworn out after they had been placed in jail. The seizure was made by the Coast Guard cutter Saukee, single-handed. The schooner Marion Adams, mother ship of the fleet, was of British regis- try. The small boats, according to members of the crews, were owned along the East Louisiana coast. The seamen on the schooner are said to be residents of Grand Cayman and are British subjects, while the men in the smaller boats /are said to be residents of Louisiana. The boats are tied up here. OPENS ELECTRIC STATION JERUSALEM, June 27 (Jewish Tele- graphic Agency).—The last official act of Sir Herbert Samuel, retiring high commissioner for Palestine, took place in Haifa yesterday when he opened the new electric station, which is a part of the Ruttenberg electrifification scheme for Palestine. While there is no certainty with re- gard to the attitude of the Haifa Arab population toward the electric station, constructed and managed by Jews, it has been arranged that the town will be lighted for 15 days on approval. A request to stop the building of the electric station was submitted to the mayor of Haifa last November by the Arab Chamber of Commerce, Arab manufacturers and the Mukhtar of Haifa. In their ‘memoranda the Arabs declared that they intended to estab- lish an Arab electric agency.
