By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, February 20.—Thou- sands far from New York now kuow the coloratura soprano voice which carried Marion Talley from a church choir in Kansas City to stardom in the Metropolitan Opera House. Making her debut on the radio last night, Miss Talley concluded with “Home, Sweet Tome,” especlally for the benefit of friends and relatives at | home. Many persons at loud speakers in Main street found in the song a par- ticular appeal, symbolizing the rise of an American girl to a place in the operatic world dominated for many years by foreign stars. Perhaps none of her radio audlence was more touched than her 80-year- old grandfather, Gustav Braun. *“I'm the “proudest man in America,” he! sald, as he wiped tears from his eyes. Miss Talley at the end of her pro- gram said: “My love and thanks to all my friends in Kansas City. Your loyal support for more than three years has Dbeen my greatest encouragement. And to my new friends of the radio audi- ence, my affectionate greetings.” Two nights after the 19-year-old daughter of a telegraph operator made her debut at the Metropolitan she ang four songs at Aeolian Hall, which were broadcast from -seven statlons. Never before has a comparatively un- known voice been given such wide audition so quickly. Three floors below the broadeasting room 150 friends from Kansas City heard the young soprano sing “Caro Nome,” “Comin’ Through the Rve,” Una Voce Poca Fa" weet Home.'

The composition of the proposed Fed- eral Radio Commission—whether it shall contain only members who have no connection with radlo, or whether it shall have at least one recruit from the broadcasters or the amateurs or both—is one of the details that is yet to be declded by the two congressional committees which have the White and Dill bills before them for final consid- Opening of the Elks’ carnival in Honolulu by Vice President Dawes, WRC, 11:25 o'clock. eration.

FIFTEEN MINUTES OF RADIO EACH DAY BY JOSEPH CALCATERRA Noted Autho; All Rights Reserved. Reproduction Prohibited. The Trend Toward Simplification in Radio Circuits. The first trend of any industry orart is a tendency toward frill; and com- plicated arrangements. Later, as the art develops, the trend is always to- ward simplification. Most fans whose experienoe in radio dates back two o= three years remem- ber the complicated arrangement of filament contrel Jjacks, inductanc switches, double pole, double-throw switches, serles-parallel switches and the regular assortment of first stage and second stage phone and loud speaker jacks and the separate rheostats for ‘each tube that “adorn- ed” the front panel. This has now been changed in prac- tically all modern receivers and the front panels now look like the decks of a battleship stripped for action. how to The B purest, cl able. From th tion is ca motorist detector, | rity on Radio The malin reason for a tapped pri- mary winding on the tuning coil was to make It possible to adjust the cofl to best advantage for any particular antenna. Better results in selectivity will be obtained with a long antenna if the number of turns on the primary winding is cut down to a minimum. This adjustment was obtained by means of Inductance switches. In the effort to aimplify and standardize cir- cuits engineers have feund that two'or at most three taps will take care of all these adjustments and, accordingly, where antenna circuits are tapped only three taps are used, as shown in Fig. 1. When a short aerial is used and a maximum transfer of energy from an- |tenna. to grid circuit is required, the antenna is connected with tap termi- which includes a cowpara- | portion of the antenm: cofl | the antenns and ground. When a longer antenna is used, the antenna can e attached to terminal while when o long acrial is used, the connection is made with terminal In some circuits a single tap alone is used, and greater selectivity with a long antenna is accomplished by in- serting a fixed condenser in the aerial cireult, as shown In Fig. 2. In this case a short antenna is |attached direct with the coll by con- necting it with terminal “A” fn Fig. 2, while a long antenna is connected with the coll through the scries con- denser “C." Jacks Soon Obsolete. ‘ilament control and all other vpes of jacks will soon be as ex- tinct as the dodo. Jacks have no place on the front of the panel. They make an unsightly appearance be- speaker plug and cord hanging down the front of the panel is unything but pleasing in appe: Best practice s to use the phone tips jacks on the subpanel at the rear of the receiver, so that loud speaker cords enter at the rear and hang down at the back of the receiver. Thig also simplifles wiring connections. Rear Cabinet Connections. Double-pole, double-throw and series- parallel switches are no longer to)- erated on recefvers.
