So be prepared for another fine program Friday night. FOR THE NOTEBOOK The heart of a vacuum tube is the filament. Only a high resistance voltmeter should be used to test condition of dry cells of batteries. A crystal detector, as well as a vacuum tube detector, can be amplified to almost any degree. A carefully installed indoor antenna will often give very nearly the same results as an outdoor aerial. ' Experience and a little study of the art of tuning are necessary for the successful operation of any radio receiver. The aerial or counterpoise must be kept well away from all electric light or power wires of any circuit of more than 600 volta. With the ordinary receiver having three to five and one quarter ampere tubes, the 90 ampere-hour storage battery is all that Is necessary. Soldered joints in a receiver are better than loops over binding posts, because they insure better and more lasting contacts. An aerial may go bad through a broken wire, broken Insulator, sooty Insulator, wet Insulator (temporarily) or through touch ing objects. A single circuit set is not so select as a two-circuit ,one. A set does not have to be in a polished cabinet tol give good results. Corrosion in aerial and lead-in contacts Is A common cause of poor reception. The full amplifying efficiency of the tubes is never realized in a reflex circuit. A }oose contact or partly worn out "B" batteries frequently create disturbances that sound exactly like static. When using battry charges it is absolutely necessary to connect the positive terminal of the charges to the positive of the battery. A grid leak is essential to the proper operation of the detector tube. Shielding, when improperly installed, introduces excessive losses (n a set. A storage battery Is good for several years or more, depending on Its careful maintenance. By adding a few turns and increasing the distance between them, the efficiency of a loop will be increased.

THE v INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

BROADCASTERS TO BE LIMITED BY UNCLE SAM License to Operate Station Will Be Difficult to Obtain. Hu Time* Special WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.—A license from the Government to operate a radio- broadcasting station may, within the next few years become more precious than fine gold. This was demonstrated at the radio conference just concluded her. Cost of broadcasting is increasing and poorly financed stations have been falling by the wayside. While the little fellows were failing, however T the big fellows have been waiting for a fling. There are now 5,78 stations, of which 114 are the so-called Class B stations. These -are the stations broadcasting on a 280-meter wave length or better, x and using power of 600 w-atts or more some up to 5,000. There ere 175 applicatlns for new radio stations pending in the Department of Commerce, mostly from organisations apparently able to see it through. Blit these prospective broadcasters are out of luck because of the physical impossibility of finding new wave lengths for them. Future experiments may provide new methods whereby other stations can take the air, but at present there are only 89 wave lengths. RADIO FLOWER O. E. Becker, senior announcer at WGR, believes that radio should be represented by a flower. Becker suggests the cosmos. He declares that the name is appropriate, as it is indicative of the universal good of radio.
