PARIS, Appil 24—Comoedia, the Paris daily which deals only with things theatrical and the fine arts, is exerting itself to have Mary Garden invited to sing at the opera in recog- nition of the work she had done in behalf of French opera in America. Miss Garden is to sing Melissande at the Opera Comique, where she created the role, and will find the composer, Andre Massager, _once ‘more holding the conductor's baton. Comoedia finds in this celebration a delicate homage both to the veteran composer and to a singer who has valiantly defended French musical art, bhut does not consider that it is sufficient. Comoedia suggests that as the Na- tional Academy of Music, the official name for the Paris opera, is preparing a revival of “Salome,” M. Rousche, the director, should inyite Miss Garden to sing the name part and later give Paris a chance of seeing Alfano's “Resurrection” with her in the role in which she has scored a great success.

A microphone devised with the “‘super- thin” diaphragms, it is said, can be constructed by paralleling two of the 1 membranes and placing between them a very fine silk tissue, plated with gold, silver or platinum. A 200-volt electric current supplied a storage battery then can be sed through the silk-metal tissue, which is in turn connected with an amplifying tube, and with the induc- tion of sound waves the tissue will swing back and forth, producing thereby a low-frequency current, which, when amplified, produces i tone equal to that brought forth by the ordinary carbon “mikes” now in us approximately low price it is wdio fan may R. 1. RADIO ENGINEER Arctic Party 3,300 Miles From Pawtucket. Special Dispatch to The Star. PAWTUCKET, R. L, April a W. Thornley, radio engineer wrge of Station’ WJAR, Provi dence, sent Gov. Aram J. Dothier's message of congratulation Tuesday night to the Byrd Arctie exploration ship Chantier and expects to be con- stantly in direct communication with the Chantier, which is pushing for ward somewhere in the vicinity of Rockal Island, about 500 miles off t} north coast of Scotland and 3,300 miles from Pawtuclet. Mr. Thorrley has been able not only to receive without interruption, but to reply from his home here. He took 15 press and personal messages from the Chantier while at. work four hours at his set on Tuesday night. Oper ator Greenlie sent the following mes sage from the Chantler, which was picked up by Thornley: “Let’s hear you, old what you sound lik Mr. Thornley replied: “Here we are, and T hope it sounds all right to you.” Throughout the nizht until’ Mr. Greenlle was fggred to leave watch, complaining to Mr. Thornley that his ands and feet were frozen, messages poured into the Thornley home. Mr. Thornley is believed to be the only operator in the country to have established an, excellent communic tion with the expedition, although sev erul amateurs have been able to “reach” the ship indistinetly. Mr. Thornley has been able to a range a_workir hedule with the . He is unly z4 years old and s using a homemade receiving and transmitting set. Although within the 40-meter band. he is operating ac- tually on a 37-meter wave length. Te has received 5,000 words to date from the Chantier, getting the vessel every night since Saturday. GERMAN BROADCASTERS FORM ADVISORY BOARD All Operators Outside of Bavaria Organize to Assist Post and Tele- graph Department. man, to see A national organization of all Ger- man broadcasters except those in Bavaria has been formed as an ad visory body to the post and telegraph department, according to consular advices to the Department of Com- merce. Six of the officers of the new National Broadeasting Association have been appointed by the gover! ment and the remaining five have been elected by the broadcasters. Formation of the new body will not alter the broadeasting policies of the government, but is expected to perfect a unification of radio service both in technical and administrative matters. No dividends are to be paid, the entire receipts of the association being de- voted to improvements in radio science, It is also planned to induce the Union Internationale de Tele- phonie to adopt only two wave lengthg, one to be known as the exclusive wave length, to be allotted to only one broadcasting station in each European country, and the other, the community wave for general use and of such length that it will not interfere with the next nearest sending station. It has been stated that approxi- mately two-thirds of the 98 broadcast- ing stations in Europe operate on wave lengths between 200 and 600 meters. TODAY‘S AMUSEMENTS.

TALKS WITH BYRD| Receives Messages With Ease From | BY JOSEPH CALCATERRA ~ Noted Authority on Radio Conduction ~ Through Gases Tonization. Several weeks ago 1 explained the principle of operation of the Raytheon tube. The action of the Raytheon tube as a really efficient rectifier for use in “B” battery eliminators de- pends on two important principles. The first is that of the conductivity |of a gas between two electrodes under the application of high potentials across the electrodes. The second is that of unilateral conductivity of a low- pressure gas gap between electrodes of unequal areas. The first principle depends on the conductivity of an jonized gas. The gas used in such rectifiers is usually neon or helium. An atom of helium at low pressure is a rather simple structure. 1t consists of a positively charged nucleus and negative elec: trons revolving around the positive nucleus. Ordinarily the positive charge is neutralized by the negative charges of the electrons around it. It i pos- ible, however, through the applica- tion of a high potential of the order of 25 or more volts to knock off elec trons from the helium atom, thus leaving a deficit of electrons and mak- ing the atom electrically positive. When this condition of a deficit of negatjve electrons exists, the atom is said to be “jonized.” We then have the atoms split up into two fons—a positive jon (kation), containing the positive nucleus and rome negative electrons, and the enga ive ion (anion), which is the electron or electrons| knocked off from the atom. Tonization Explained. Under such circumstances the elec trical balance is upset. The positive ions will be drawn toward the neg ative electrode and the negative jons| will be drawn to the positive electrode (unlikes attract). This movement of electrodes results in the flow of a cur- rent. The initial jonization is brought about by the application of the high potenti the electrodes and by 3 TICKET SCALPERS CONVICTED OF THEFT Three Operators and a Conductor Sentenced for Conspiring to Defraud Railroads. by By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, Apr —Sentence was imposed Thursday upon three | ticket scalpers, and a raflroad con- | | ductor and a ticket scalper, plicity in a conspiracy to defraud the railroads through theft and sale of tickets. Jail sentences were suspended during good behavior, except in the case of one two-day term, which was not suspended, the court explained, as vor' to the prisoner. David Lyons of Chicago was sentenced to | for com- one of the eight counts in the indict- ment and to serve nine months’ im- prisonment in Cook County, IlL, Jjail on each of the other seven counts, the terms to run concurrently. Adolph A. Blum of St. Louis and | Ross Frazier of Kansas City were | sentenced to pay fines, Blum $300 and Frazier §200, and to serve two years and six months imprisonment. George H. Wertz of Cold Spring, Pa., the only conductor sentenced, was fined $200 and sentenced to two years and six months. J.

Reproduction Prohibited. the fact that there are always a few stray fons in the gas to begin with and that the movement of these fons to the electrodes produces the bom- bardment of the atoms which causes further ionization of the gas atoms, The second principle, that of uni- lateral conductivity of a low-pressure gas gap between electrodes of unequal areas, is based on the fact that in an arrangement where the two electrodes are of unequal areas, the current flow- ing in one direction, when the large electrode is positive to the smaller electrode, only a few microamperes (a_very small current) will flow, but when the large electrode is negative to the smaller a comparatively large current will flow, Produces Reetification. Thus if an alternating current is applied across the electrodes the cur- rent flowing in one direction will be greater than the current flowing in tha oposite direction, as the current reverses and thus produces rectifica tion, The rectification, of course, is not perfect because there is a slight flow of current in the opposite direction, but this unwanted current flow is so small that it can be neglected. The manner in which the unwanted current flow. is reduced to an absolute minimum will be described tomorrow n a discussion of the “short-path principle.” |RADIO COMPANY URGES CONTROL OF INDUSTRY Counsel of Firm, Which Won “Pi- racy” Case, Attacks White Proposal. i By the Associated Pre | CHICAGO, Irving riott, counsel for the Zenith Radio Corporation, which recently won a d on in a suit brought against it by the Government to restrain it from “pirating” a wave length not assigne to it, last night in a radio address, ad vocated a Federal radio commission with power to regulate the industry.
