excellence of their technique. Popularity with their audience has at times been embarrassing for they cannot secure leave of absence from college to accept all the offers of engagements. The most important concert thus far this year was given in the auditorium of the Steel Pier in Atlantic City when they played to an audience of more than a thousand. They appear in New York annually. CORRECT USE OF LOOP Precaution Should Be Taken to Get Best Results. The use of a loop for an antenna Is becoming more popular each day, but there are certain precautions which must be taken to get the most out of its directional qualities. It should be located so that it is free to rotate and not come nearer than eight or ten feet to any metallic object of any size, such as steam radiators, bed springs, metal roofs or the lead-lli wire from an outdoor antenna. In such cases these articles also pick up some of the energy which would otherwise pass to the loop, causing the loop to lose much of*its directional properties.

Tubes will often lose their power to detect and amplify before they burn out. The symptom that a tube Is “dying” is a gradual decrease in volume and the disappearance of distant stations, blending into a rapid decrease In volume. Diaphragm Adjustment The success erf good headphones lies In the accuracy to which the air gap between the tip of the pole pieces and the diaphragm is adjusted. The distance between the diaphragm and each of the pole-piece tips must be the same, so that the maximum volume may be had without distort! an. / Complete Installed MOHAWK-RADIO rives Tube*—Jolt Oil Dial #IAC to Tnn* JiJJ INDIANAPOLIS REFLEX.
