" 40 FARM RADID FANS TOHAVE LECTURES U. S. Department of Agri- culture Will Begin Courses on October 1. BY RL H. BUTMAN. Farmer radio fans and their fam- | {lles are in for a real radio treat this ¥all. The Agricultural Department’s | broadeast program starts October 1. Although the department is not em- phasizing its radio programs this Summer, believing that the farmers are so busy in the fields in the da. time that they are too tired to listen in at night, this Fall it is S-X)\e('_!fld; that about 100 reliable broadcasting stations will carry on an extensive | and varied program of information | and instructicn along agricultural | lines. Chief among the features to be offered is National Radio Farm School for the farmers and their sons. Twenty-four short courses of eight lessons will be offered and the only entrance requirements are good hear- ing and a ra recelver. A million enroliment blanks are be- | ing distributed and it is hoped t when the r: rhool opens, at least 50,000 will be in ttendance.” Classes will meet for 15-minute lectures on live stock Monday evening, on poul- try Wednesdays, and on dairying Fri Laboratory work will (‘nnsi‘sl of putting the ubjects taught |nl0] actual practice. While no collegiate di- | plomas are to be given at the end of | the courses, the department plans to issue certificates for each eight-week course on which reports are made by the students. Printed copies of the radio lectures will be available, sup- plemented by bulletins for all those who listen in regularly. ¥ Another feature this Fall will be the daily chat to housekeepers on various home problems, including | economic ‘This will be supplemented by talks on insects and pests, weather data and forecasts, agricultural eco- nomics, ome timely news bulletins and a unique series of letters from a farmer boy in college to his dml.v The first r: o programs of the U. S D. A. were begun, modestly, in | Februa: of this yvear. About 60 sta- tions used the questions and answers called “Fifty Farm Flashe: A\mut. 50 stations used the sekeepers’ Chat,” the daily news . the fea- | ture called “Uncle Bert, the Garden | Expert, the weather reports and 0 market reports. { e ‘hest ragio agricultural college was organized the Kansas State Agricultural College during the lat- ter part of 1923. The experiment was so successful, both from the view- point of the farmers and of l}_m in- structors, that within a short time a score of colleges had installed radio broadeasting stations. When William M. Jardine became Secretary of Agri- culture he appointed a board to con- sider the feasibility of broadcasting information from the United States Department of Agriculture. fl’l'he h(’id:. approved _the plan, and Sam Pick ard was called from Kansas to becom: chief of the radio section.

The equipment is of Amer- fcan manufacture. Public interest is high, and the sale of receiving sets is expected to increase rapidly, Consul W. J. McCafferty reports, New Station at Vera Cruz. CYC is the call of the new Mexican broadeasting station, on 337 meters, with 50 watts power, at Vera Cruz It was installed by an American com- pany. according to advices from Vice Consul Willys A. Myers. Two Stations in Italy. Ttalian radio telegraph. telephone and cable services are under govern- ment control. The Coltando radio station, the most powerful in Italy, is located near Pisa, and maintains direct communication with the more powerful stations in the United States. There are two broadcasting_ stations in Italy, one at Rome and one at Milan. Commercial Station Licensed. A commercial radio-telegraphic sta- tion, to be used in maintaining com- munications through the miring in- terests of the By-Products Coal Ct in Kentucky, has been licensed by tI Department of Commerce. The sta- tion will be known as WLK and will operate on 43.45 and 50.99 meters. L e 32 Ships Get Radio Compasses. Eleven commercial vessels and 21 ships owned by the Government were added last month to the growing list of ships that are equipped with radio compasses, according to an announce- ment made today by the Department of Commerce. The 32 additions of @ehips thus equipped sets a record for any one month this year. | 85 "Mooseheart, Iil.- 0—Philadelphia )—Mooseheart, 9:45—Chicago Springfleld: South” C Philadelphia: Holy i regational Cathedral Church services Church services ..

Cincinnati:” Mise Mari program’ from Swi Two new multiple radio receiving tubes, the latest unique developments in radio, have just been announced by David L. Loewe of New York. One of them is a “three-in-one” tube. A pair of them, when connected with a varlable condenser and an in- ductance, are said to be equivalent to a five-tube receiver. The inventor, Dr. Stegmund Loewe of Berlin, is credited by experts as having made a great contribution to radio—if not the most important in 1926. The next step would seem to call for a com- plete set within a single tube. The first Loewe tube contains two stages of resistance-coupled radio fre- quency amplification, and the second |has a detecting element and two stages of resistance-coupled audio amplification. Within the first tube there are two sets of filaments, grids and plates, together with two re- sistances and a condenser for cou- pling the tubes together. This tube also has an extra grid for control purposes. Inside the other tube there are two sets of amplifying elements, with resistances, like the first tube, and a third element which serves as a detector. Many new feats are accomplished within the confines of those vacuum tubes, which measure 6 inches from tip to base prongs, and are 1% inches in diameter. All resistances, for ex- ample, are protected by being sealed up in small inner tubes. Many con- necting leads are eliminated or re- duced materially in length. Claims set up by the inventor of the tubes include the minimization of static and distortion at loud speaker volume. Like most European tubes, these operate with a filament voltage of only 4 volts, and the bases carry six connecting prongs instead of our standard four. Diseases of the Ether. “Microphobia” is the new word coined by Earle Ennis of San Fran- cisco to describe the disease-like fear of the microphone experienced by many amateur and some professional broadcasters. He also contributes an- other new word—'‘microphonitis,” de- scribing the insidious disease from which some announcers seem to suf- fer. The last complaint appears to be a chronic infection which so expands the ego that one is never content ex- cept when talking through the “mike,” a synonym might be *‘bullosis.” Realizing that the microphone has succeeded the pen, which long ago seems to have vanguished the sword, we beg to assert that this same mighty microphone is often abused, and through it many otherwise happy listeners.

Some new diseases affect the fans, too: “Radio ear” developed a couple of years ago, when headphones were more popular and were worn for hours at a time. “Disto-mania” followed, ac- companied by, “audio-toxication” and “‘nocturnal radiophasia.” All of which diseases, although infectious, are real- ly harmless unless they become chronic. Naval Radio Men Heroes. Three radiomen of the Navy have distinguished themselves above their fellow craftsmen. Admiral W. R. Shoemaker, chief of the Bureau of Navigation, has just announced the names of Elmer E. Wisendanger, Joseph Henry Aubin and Otis G. Stantz with commendations, Radioman Wisendanger, with a name difficult to live up to, “displayed heroic daring” in aiding in the rescue of the survivors of the wrecked de- stroyer Delphy off Point Honda. He was not only commended by the Secre- tary of the Navy, but presented with a gold life-saving medal by the Secre- tary of the Treasury. Radioman Joseph * Henry Aubin, whose first name is significant in the realm of electric endeavor, was com- mended for the heroic rescue of a shipmate by swimming in freezing water at New Dungeness, Wash. Chief Radioman Stantz, with two aviation pilots, was commended for performance of duty and conduct dur- ing the hazardous aerial voyage over the Pacific in PN-9 plane No. 1. Radio Legislation Delayed. Although radio legislation should be one of the livest topics of news, since it is of prime interest to all broad- casters and of considerable fmport to every fan, it is practially dead. It is almost impossible to ascertain whether or not Congress will enact either of the proposed radio laws now before it. Senator Dill, sponsor of the Senate independent radio com- mission measure, is still hopeful that action in the Senate may be secured before adjournment. Representative White, author of the House bill augmenting the administrative powers of the Secretary of Commerce, has become somewhat pessimistic. While not favoring the Senate measure, Mr. White believes, however, that if the Senate passes the Dill bill, which is recorded as an amended House bill, that there is a possibility that the con- ferees might work out mutun"y‘_nt- isfactory station. The President, it may be recafled, HOOVER SEES SOME HARM IN RADIO FREE SPEECH Literal and Indiscriminate Abuse ‘Would Be Tyranny, He Says, Urging Right to Choose. The pending radio bill brings a new angle of the free speech question be- fore the public, Secretary Hoover stated recently when asked to com- ment upon the need for definite radio legislation. An advocate of free speech, especially in the ether, the Secretary, however, pointed out that taken literally, unilmited and indis- criminate discussion via radlo might become tyranny. The pecullar part of radio, he claims, is the fact that it actually enters our homes, and although undesirable matter may be eliminated by tunfng it out, something g00d may be lost. Unlimited free speech from a broad- casting station was likened to requir- ing all editors to publish everything offered, regardless of their opinions a8 to fts news value. If the Senate radio bill in fts present form fs en- acted into law, it would tend to drive the discussion of public questions and religion off the air and confine broad- casting to entertainment solely, re- sulting in the loss of radio's educa- tional features, he believes. Some stations were held as undoubtedly partisan, but with the cosmopolitan vepresentation of all faiths, creeds and political parties on the air, practically as they are represented by the gen- eral press of the country, he does not belleve control of the air could be ef- fected by any class, faction or party. Stattons, like newspapegs, should be permitted to maintain their editortal privileges, he claims. Mr. Hoover believes, however, that broadcast stations should be liable to slanderous matter broadcast, as well as those who utter it, similar to the method followed in publications. Stations WEAF and WJR-WCX Found Leading in Accuracy. Stations WJR-WCX, at Pontiac, Mich., and WEAF, at New York, con- tinued to lead the broadcasting sta- tions of the East in May in keeping on their assigned wave lengths. The Pontiac and New York broadcasters were the only two of the Kastern plants to be found always transmitting correctly when their signals were measured by the Bureau of Standards. Other stations .which: were found deviating only slightly from their as- signed frequencies were WCAP and WRC, at Washington, and WGY, at Schenectady, which showed variations of one-tenth of 1 per cent, and WSB, at Atlanta, which showed a deviation of two-tenths of 1 per cent. OLD PLAY REVIVED. ‘““Secret Service,” Civil War Melo- drama, to Be Staged in London. ON, June 12 (#).—"Secret ‘Willlam Gillette's celebrated melodrama of the American Civil War, has been revived in London by Gerald Lawrence, just 29 vears after . the Boston-born Lawrence, returned to the stage after a retirement of several vears to take a part in the play. wife Many Foreign Inquiries. Foreign inquiries for American- made radio receivers and parts have been filed with the Department of Commerce from France, Germany, F pt, Netherlands, Denmark, Czecho- sla and Australia. Citizens of Bagdad, Iraq, are interested in six and eight tube receivers, with and without loud speakers and batteries, according to one communication. Re- quests for catalogues and pri on American radio apparatus, particular- ly receiving cquipment, have been filed by the American consul at Con- stanza, Rumania. Recently Licensed Stations. Among the recently licensed special land radio-telegraphic stations are plants owned and operated by War- ner Brothers, at Los Angeles, who have been given the call letters AQ for a portable station; the Airways Radio Service, also of Los Angeles, which has established a station trans. mitting as 6XB, at Milford, Utah, and the Calvary Baptist Church of New York City, which has been given the call letters 2XAS, . WEW Now on 1,660 Watts. Broadcasting station WEW, owned and operated by the St. Louis Univer- sity, has installed a 1,000-watt equip- ment, according to the radio super- visor at Chicago. WEW first oper- ated with a power of 150 watts, on 248 meters, but has been granted a request for increased power. WDEL to Sign Off. Station WDEL, owned by the Wil- mington Electrical Specialty, Co. Inc., will “sign off” June 15 for the Sum- mer, a letter to the Department of Commerce states. This station will resume broadcasting on September 1. Denmark toVBrnudcralt. The Danish Rigsdag has authorized a government broadcasting station to operate under the direction of the minister of traffic and a radio coun- cil, according to a report to the De- partment of Commerce here. All lis- teners will pay fees to be applied to broadcasting after the expenses of the telegraph service have been met. About 100,000 radlo sets are reported in operation in Denmark, 27,000 being newly registered. New Venezuela Station. A radio broadcasting station in Caracas, Venezuela, began operation about June 1.

Having had long experience with storage batteries in his automobiling, Smith was posted on the fund: mentals of life extension for the “A" battery of his radio set outfit. But dry batteries used for the “B” cur- rent were something new to him. In earlier days fe used ordinary two- volt dry cells in serfes for operating the doorbell and Srith Junior's train of cars, but dry cells delivering 45 volts in one unit were a moderniza- tion of something with which he was not very familiar. The problem always on his mind in connection with the “B" batterles was their length of service. “How long will they last?” he asked. He no longer asks tne question be- cause he has formulated several rules which enable him to predict battery life with surprising accuracy. First, he has found that battery life is greatly dependent upon the radio operator. This applies more to the “A” battery than to the “B" va- riety. Second, he discovered that the serv- ice obtained from the “B" batteries was closely linked up with the make of battery used. His own knowledge of good products was a point to be considered at all times. Third, he learned that longer “B" battery life hinged upon using the right type of battery for the right service. A battery suitable for a three-tube set, for instance, will be less than half as serviceable when used to operate a six-tube set. Fourth, he found that the use of an_inexpensive “C* battery repr sented a considerabie saving in “B current. Consumption Rate Important. As Smith readily realized, it was important to know the current con- sumption rate of the average tube be- fore attempting to make any study of the consumption rate of the set as a whole. He found that tubes built to draw upon storage battery current for the filament have a drain of six milllamperes when 90 volts are ap- plied to the plate and there is no biasing. However, ne did not make the mistake of* multiplying this figure by five or six tubes and reach a sum of 30 or 36 milliamperes as the com- bined drain of the typical five or six tube set, because muititude sets are in- variably equipped with biasing ar- ngements that serve to cut down “B" battery —current consumption. j And there is the detector to figure on. A storage battery vperated detector has a drain of two milllamperes, and every tube set has a detector. There is not a great deal of difference be- tween “B" battery drain in most in- stances where filaments are lighted by means of dry-cell current. What the set designers have done to lengthen battery life was clearly indicated to Smith in the matter bilasing. When a tube is biased means of one of those little “C* bat- terfes the drain is only two mi amperes instead of s1x, or exactly same as the drain occasioned by detector. “But doesn’t the set owner have to pay for the ‘B’ current saved in purchase of ‘C' batteries?” he during our discussions “That is a logical question,” I mitted. is an emphatic ‘no.". Experie: seems to be that a ‘C’ battery will last as long as the ‘B’ batteries it wo with.” It is clear now to & efficient B in lengthening the lives of the * batteries. If the “C" battery is replaced at the time new B’ are installed, the current the biased tubes will be g necessary. The cost o1 a “C" batt, is less than 10 per cent of the c of a d5-volt “B” battery. Economy Steps. He knows, too, that by cutting a stage of audio amplification in five-tube set, whenever this is mith that drain mally consumed by one of the au amplifiers, which is two milliamperes. 1f he can cut out both audio amj flers and receive through phones, there is an additional sav of two milllamperes. cal thing to set, alone. do when working stage of audio it may to use more filament current. ever, it may be an advantage an economy to use more than usual amount of filament current, when the storage battery is somew! overcharged, and it is also true t H with one audio tube cut out the sav- vell compen ‘A" current frequency ing at that point pretty sates for the additional consumed by the radio tubes. One of the interesting features the study of current consumption the set is the fact that if the is used more than the average num- ber of hours daily, which has b figured by some investigators as t a more than proportionably higl rate of current consumption appl If the set is used less savings are proportionately increased. (Copyi'ght by the Ullman Feature Servi Next week, No. 69: Exceeding DX Limit. Civilian Army News Officially Lieut. Col. John Scott, In- fantry, completing his four-year detail as senior executive officer of the O ganized Reserves in Washington, will sever his connec- tion with the loc: reserve units to- day. When he as. sumed his duties at headquarters four years _ago there was only a semblance of the present organiza- tion of the re- serve in the Di: trict, and it is largely due to his tireless energy in building up the lo- cal units to their present high state of efficiency. Col. LIEUT. COL. SCOTT. Scott has been absence of about one month, the expiration of which he upon vill Staff School, Fort Leavenworth, Kans., not later than July pon’ reach: ing Fort Leavenworth he will be a: signed to duty as chief of the corre- spondence school section of the Com- mand and General Staff School course. When it became known weeks ago that Col. Scott definitely assigned elsewhere to duty considerable spec as Leen in-| dulged in by the local reserve officers | 1s to who would be designated to suc- | ceed him. No officer holding the rank of lieutenant colonel has up to the ‘present time been definitely as- signed to the local headquarters. and the indications are that there will not be for some time. As announced in these columns several weeks ago, Maj Rowan P. Lemly, Infantry, who has been on duty in the general staff, will be relieved of his present duties in the office of the chief of staff July 31 and Is assigned to the local head- quarters. In all probability Maj. Lemly will not report for duty until the middle of August. In the inter- val Maj. Albert S. J. Tucker, Infan- try, assistant executive .officer .of the Washington reserves, will be in charge of the Graham Building. The absence of Maj. C. P. George, Field Artillery, assistant executive of- ficer at headquarters, who is now on the high seas en route to England, where he will participate in the in- ternational horse show at the Olym- pla, London, will naturally be felt, and with the rapid approach of the Summer camps the loss of the serv. ices of two officers in the dispatch of official business will be severe. This will be partially offeet, however, by the assignment of Capt. Willlam R. Woodward, now on duty with the 6th Field Artiilery at Fort Hoyle, Md.. who has been assigned to the local veserve units, effective next Tuesday. It is expected that Capt. Woodward will perform the adjutant duties and will also assist in connection with the exclusive concession to broadcast and ) Summer instruction and training of to import and deal in radio sets and equipment. A fee of $5 monthly will be charged for the privilege of listen- ing in, Consul McDonough, at Cara- cas, writes, recently expressed himself as in favor of continuing the radio administration under an existing executive depart- ment rather than under another bureaucratic commission responsible to_no existing Federal office. Unless the Senate takes up the Dill bill very soon, it appears almost cer- tain that the measure will be lost in the last rush of legislative business during the closing days of Congress. In that event the revision of laws will have to go over until this Fall, when it may be considered. What will hap- pen in the broadcast field in the mean- time no one dares predict.

Gen. Robert C. Davis, adjutant gen- eral of the Army, as the result of sev- eral cases which have come to the attention of the War Department where citizens’ military training camp candidates, who, after agreeing to bear personally partial transportation costs, have become stranded at .the close of camp and without the neces- ary financial means to return to their homes. This has been the source of considerable concern to the War De- partment and has proved to be a most perplexing problem to solve. One camp commander, in w relieve the situation, i necessary travel orders for the entire return journey to the candidates’ homes, only to be advised later by the Comptroller General that payment had been disallowed for this travel. In another corps area, providing the applicant was under 21 years of age, the signature of the parent or guar- dian to the agreement requiring par- tial payment of the transportation costs was required. This latter method seems to have sol this problem, and, it is insisted, should be required in all such cas Another suggestion to solve this problem is to require all applicants before accept- ance for a particular camp to deposit with the proper officer sufficient funds to cover the excess cost of the return Journey. War Department guthori- ties hold to the view that striét com- pliance with these instructions will eliminate to a minimum stranded cases, which in the past have been the cause of considerable annoyance to the department. of by illi- the the the ad- nce rks an ‘B not of ery ost That a uniform standard of qualifi- cation may be established, the War Department has issued a program of markmanship instruction with small arms, machine guns, 37-mm. guns and 3-inch trench mo attend- ing the approaching citizens’ mili training camps, the first of which wiil open early in July Basic students not considered qualified to fire the pre- scribed range course may be given a suitable course in gallery actice.
