Miller will furnish music for the dancing in the crystal-shaped ( ball room each evening during the show and also will be heard during the after noon. This h the first appearance of this orchestra in Indianapolis. DIRECTIONAL TENDENCY OF AERIALS Because all horizontal aerials have a directional tendency, bring the lead-in from the end of the aerial pointing toward those stations most desired. Asa general rule an antenna with the lead-in taken from the south end will bring hi stations from that direction better, and vice versa.

‘DIRECT TO YOUR HOME'SEEN SOON . Programs Over Current Wire to Be Next. NEW YORK, Oct. 23. —If current rumors are to be believed, the day of the subscriber to "radio programs by wire direct into your own home” is fast approaching. The idea is that of transmitting music and speech over telephone, or telegraph lines, or house-current wires, to he picked up simply by turning on the switch of an apparatus containing a crystal detector and a two-stage audio amplifier. • The project has been in the experimental stage for several years now. It is expected, though, thatMt will bo made available to a wide public before many more months have elapsed. The super-imposing of music and speech on electric wires, used for telephone or the transmission of power, is entirely feasible from an electrical engineering standpoint. In experiments, it has been

best proof of the boys' popularity is the llood of mail they have received from every station. While at the anniversary program at ivFAB, Lincoln, Neb., they received 43.000 cards, letters, telegrams and other communications. The twins will broadcast such eve ning from the show singing a repertoire of late numbers and will on one evening do a request program of any and all songs for the listeners. They are one of the many features that have been booked for the show.

Pojyer lines will not only supply the musical programs but the energy necessary to operate the vacuum tubes in the receiving apparatus. it is understood that several companies are now conducting experiments, both in the laboratory and its actual usage.

RADIO INDUSTRY’S GAINS PROVED BY OFFIQIALFIGURES Department of Commerce Report Discloses Edison’s Error. /!•< V F I Sm icr / WASHINGTON. Oct. 25.—Figures again are brought out to prove what an error Thomas Edison made when he said radio was losing in the race toward popularity against the phonograph and other musical productions. These are official figures, just issued by the Department of Ajrnmerce, .reviewing information compiled in the biennial cetNus of manufactures for 'l 923. According to these figures, radio shows quite u healthy growth. Dig Increase Shown In two years, from 1923 to 1925, the census shows the value of radio apparatus manufactured* in this country jumped 215.5 per cent. It was $34.000.470 in 1923. It was $170,390,572 last year. The number of tube type receivers increased more than a thousand per cent in these two years, although their value went up half as fast. Against these, crystal set manufacture decrease, nearly 50 per cent, and with them went a decrease in the numlrfT of headsets for their use. More Ixi ud Speakers That, as well as the increase i tube sets, shows a great increase in (he number of loud speakers, which the census bureau reports as 318.3 per rent. That this interest isn't waning is attested by several of the larger radio manufacturers. One firm after another reports It is several thousand sets behipd In orders. EFFIC lENT ANTENNA The antenna should be unshielded from all surrounding objects. It must not be strung In a courtyard between two buildings nor should it be wired along the fiont or sides of a building running vertical to the root. Aerials that are behind an apartment building or next to a wall will generally be shielded In certain directions and may never receive distant stations in those directions.

Matthews, of the Stewart-Warner I*roducts service station, vicechairman of the general convention committee. CONDENSERS The fixed condensers in a receiving set should have mica dielectries for best results. Do not use condensers in which the dielectric is paraffined paper. For the best operat-ion cf a set, it is important to use the condenser of the proper capacity for t he part of the circuit it is in. A MATE IK IS .AIDED New regulations making adequate provision for the operation of privately owned radio amateur stations have just been put into effect in Denmark, according to a bulletin issued by the International Amateur Radio Union. - TEETH OUT TO RADIO Dr. G. M. Smith, Chicago dentist, has found that radio concerts entertain his patients while he is working on their teeth and helps them for-' get the pain. There are more than 2.000 applications for radio patents pending at Washington. D. C.
