Use Radio in Sick Room — DAILY RADIO FEATURES

New Way to Bar Static Meets Fair Success. BT R. L. DCSCAX, Director Radio Institute of America. Ail devices so far put forth to eltm* Inate static Interference also cut down the signal strength of the radio station. But a balanced crystal set constructed by the English Marconi Company operates with fair success. It consists of two ca-borundum detectors energized by a local battery current One detector Is adjusted to a high degree of sensitiveness and the other to a lesser degree. When a heavy charge of static enters' the aerial, the crashing sounds are some- j what eliminated by the reaction process of the crystal rectifiers. But the incoming signals are likewise weakened. In tropical countries, where one ordinarily can receive transmission from & station 500 miles away, It is at times ; impossible to receive even ten miles on j account of static interference. To reduce static interference to a min- i imum, most transmitting apparatus to- j day employ a 500 or 600-cycle note —one ■ having a high-pitched musical sound, j Static comes In on a very low pitch. A good way to cut down on static In- j terferenee is to employ the least pos- i sible degree of coupling between the ' primary and secondary windings of the receiving tuner to the lowest point where the signals yon wish to copy are still audible. Don't forget to see that there Is a good lightning switch on the aerial connection leading into the house. Not only Is this necessary to comply with the rules of the fire underwriters, but it Is a great protection for the house, making j the aerial ground act as a lightning rod. j

Radio Shows Need for International T ongue . LONDON. April 27.—Radio is reviving the movement for an international language. Out of the International radio conference held here comes the suggestion of adopting some language, like Esperanto, so that radio fans the world over may understand one another. This is one of the subjects taken up by the wireless experts of America. England, France and Germany at this conference. It was suggested by Edward J. Xally, president of an American radio distributing firm. NEED OF ESPERANTO. •'One of our greatest hopes,” said Xally, "is the establishment of an International radio language or code, like Esperanto, which could be understood by all. This would place the activities of the whole world at everybody's tars. “There is no reason why every American school house should not have a simple wireless apparatus to enable teacher j and pupils to listen to what the rest of! the world is doing.” Esperanto, the proposed language by which this worldwide commur ieation may be made possible, has already been accepted by many countries as the language of the world. It was composed by Dr. 1. L. Zamenhof, the Russian linguist, in 1887. Since then Esperanto has spread in popularity until now Brazil, Czechoslovakia, Russia. Finland and important parts of other countries have introduced the language in their schools. The Paris Chamber of Commerce Is carrying on a campaign for the adoption of Esperanto by all the world's commercial bodies as the official commercial language of the world. ARGUMENT STKE.M.T HEXED. The chief argument for Esperanto as the international language is being . strengthened through the popularity of ■ radio the world over. It is thought that i this will draw humanity closer together ; by a single medium of intercommunication. With the rapid progress made in the development of radio as a world-wide means of communication, the need of such language as Eiperanto becomes more apparent.

Study Lightning Bug for Radio Hunches. PEORIA, 111., April 27.—1f science can discover how the lightning bug's s-nd-ing apparatus Dashes light waves, present day radio science may be superceded, E.

out an electric magnetic wave, but Us j source Is still a mystery and this he Is i investigating. j 'lf we could find this I think | we could throw away all our antennae, j audion bulbs and other apparatus, because in my belief the lightning bug may have a little power plant of his own more highly perfect than any fruit of radio science,” said Professor Shalk- , hauser. "It has been proved repeatedly that j the wave transmitted by the bug Is a cold light wave. The light wave, heat i wave and radio wave are the same In a sense, because they have the same frequency. It may be possible to tune down to a sufficiently low wave length to discern the bug code." HERR'S A SO,OOO COOK. HOVE, England, April 27.~M!ss Mary 1 A. 11.
