Capt. Willlam J. Stannard, leader of the United States Army Band, will introduce the radio audience to his newly organized 86-plece orchestra tomorrow night during the Pan- American program to be broadcast from the patio of the Pan-American Union by WRC. The orchestra will he conducted by Master Sergt. Theo- dore Bingert. Master Sergt. Bingert's work with the double sextet of saxophones and his arrangements for the band are familiar to radio gudiences. He studied violin with David McManus and conducting with Reine Polaine. He continued his studies at the Insti- tute of Musical Art in New York City. He was the honor graduate in the band leader course at the United States Army Music School, class of 1922, and is at presgnt taking post- graduate work in composition and ar- ranging with Dr. Percy Goetschius, who has written many text books on musical art and is a universally rec- ognized authority on these subjects. The Army Band Orchestra has pre- pared a well balanced program. The selections are from a number of the Latin American republics. The entire program is being played for the first time. Two numbers from the “Trop- ical Suite” by Alberto M. Alvarado will be played—one an aboriginal dance, the theme of which was taken from a legendary Mexican air. First is heard the imitation of a native in- strument played by the medicine man of the Yaqul tribe, followed by the dance proper. Another feature in the program will be a spoken song. Ruben Dario’s poem, “Springtime.” has: been trans- lated into English and a musical back- ground composed by Rafael A. Cas- tillo. This poem will be recited by Florence Louise Lyon and the music played by the Band Orchestra. MACMILLAN RADIO TALK. Famous Explorer Goes on Air Next Sunday Night.

In such receiv- ers all or part of the working parts are sealed, ostensibly for the pur- poses of preventing any one from tampering with the working parts of the set. that if anything goes wrong with a tube, few dealers will replace It until after they have sent it back to the manufacturer and received the manu facturer’s O. K. to replace the tube. The same holds true for recelvers. 1t something goes wrong with your recelver and the dealer finds it neces sary to return it to the manufacturer you must wait until the set goes back co-operated | I am not referring here to recelv- ers which are shielded to avold pick- up by the coils or the wiring of a set. When properly done, shielding prevents such pick-up and increases the selectivity of a set. Prevents Tampering. In theory the practice of sealing a set to prevent “tampering,” thus as- suring the manufacturer or dealer that nothing has been done to harm the receiver, works out fine. In prac- tice, however, the question leaves many factors open for Wiscussion. Radlo sets are at best devices that are subject to little irregularities when improperly handled. The rough handling which receivers un- dergo, regardless of the “Fragil Handle Carefully” signs plastered all over the cartons, is inevitable in the general scheme of _transportation now in vogue. No matter how much care has been exercised in the inspec- tions at the factory before the re- ceiver {8 packed for shipment, little things llke a poorly soldered connec- tion which seems all right until the set is banged around a bit, are bound to slip through.

Resistance values are so important that you should always use ‘B’ batteries with low internal resistance values.” . factor carburetor got out of to the manufacturer and is then re- turned to the dealer, a procedure that usually takes several weeks.

Don’t be satisfied with good tubes, good connections, and capacity voltage. Look to the resistance of your “B” batteries. | Read above what Mr. Cockaday says. Resistance and resistance coupling have come to be two of the most important factors in the minds of radio engineers. When you have high internal resist- ance in your “B” batteries, that adds to distor- tion, blurs reception and cuts down distance. ‘When you have low internal resistance in “B” batteries, you get clearer reception, you cut dis- tortion to a minimum, and you add miles of dis the Ray-O-Vac Battery, with the lowest internal resistance of any dry cell battery made. Give your set every chance to let you listen to broadcasting at itsbest. Install Ray-O-Vac Batteries in your new set —or replace your present batteries with Ray-0-Vacs. Increase your set’s range, and get clearer tone at any distance, without changing a thing but “B” batteries. This is a quality battery—and yet it costs no more than ordinary batteries. It has low internal resistance because of its secret formula. That same secret formula makes it the battery with staying power. You will find that Ray-O-Vaes in your set will still be good when ordinary batteries have been thrown away—and all the time they last, Ray-O-Vacs, with their-low internal resistance, give you clearer reception and greater distance. Ask for Ray-O-Vac Batteries by name—and be sure that you get them. Write for the “Ray-O-Vac Radio Trouble Finder and Directory of Broad- casting Stations.” This book is free. Write for it.
