Radio BROADCASTING STATE FAIR IS INTRICATE TASK Mammoth Job Is Achieved by Engineers at Indiana Exposition. Some idea of the magnitude of ,-v the task of broadcasting the Indiana State fair by WLS, the SearsRoebuck station of Chicago, in cooperation with WENR, station of the Great Lakes Broadcasting Company and the Interstate Public Service Company during this week from the State fairground can be gained from the following facts: Microphones for various pickups giving the highlights of the fair are located in the coliseum for judging cattle, and leads go into the cattle barn, race track and other vantage points over the grounds. These wires all terminate in a radio control room, which is a temporary structure located in the southeast corner foyer of the women's building. Microphone wires from these points run into what is known as a mixer panel, where the various programs are blended. This means that the pickups are made instantly from these several microphones. Sec Artists in Action The WLS portable studio is located also in the southeast end of the foyer. This is where fair visitors are enabled to see the WLS artists from Chicago in action. Two special wires carrying the “big doings” go from this panel to the American Telegraph and Telephone Company toll or repeating station in downtown Indianapolis. From this central office in Indianapolis six repeating stations located between here and Chicago carry the amplification. Each station amplifier insures a proper level for a perfect broadcasting from the 5,000-watt WLS station in Chicago. The receiving end at Chicago gets the pickup and then it is carried by land wires to the WLS transmitting station at Crete, 111. Two operators are located at the fairground control board, and a man •continually is following the program and checking its quality as it is amplified at each of the six amplifying points. Three Engineers Check At the Crete transmitting station three engineers give the program its final check and send it out on huge antenna, where it is available to listeners. In addition to the wires that handle the program is another special wire which runs directly from the temporary control room of WLS, Chicago, this wire being for the sole purpose of permitting communication between chief operators at each end of the line. The average listener, when hearing a program, thinks only of the announcers and various artists taking part in the broadcast, but from the foregoing it can be seen that their efforts would be of no avail without the steady and careful efforts of the experienced engineering staff. Play Big Part The two men who have arranged this intricate system of wires and microphone set-ups, and who are on the job throughout the week, to see that the programs are carried to listeners are T. L. Rowe, chief operator of the WLS engineering staff, and his assistant, Charles Townsend. WLS hours on the air at the State fairground, excepting for Saturday, when lines from the big race track will be in operation from 2:30 until the final heats late in the afternoon, are 10:20 to 11, 12:30 to 1:30, 2:30 to 3:30 and 5:30 to 6. Announcing is in charge of Harold Safford of the WLS staff, Chicago. RADIO DEALERS WILL BE BANQUET GUESTS Federal Commission Member Will Be Main Speaker. Annual banquet of the Indiana radio show will be held this evening in the Claypool Hotel with more than 400 radio dealers invited. Musical numbers will be given under direction of George Irish, announcer. L H. Caldwell, member of the Federal radio commission, a former Indianapolis resident, will be the principal speaker. Part of his address will be broadcast over WFBM.

I employ 135 volts "B power and am desirous of inserting a "C" battery to lessen the drain on the “B” supply. What is the usual procedure?—D. B. ANSWER—CX-301-A tubes should not have more'than 67.5 volts op* the plate unless the proper “C” battery is utilized, else the tubes will be overloaded and the useful life shortened. Secure a power-tube adapter, place it in the output socket of the set and put the power tube in this adapter. The adapter has four extra contacts; one for the additional “B” voltage (135 to 180 volts, depending upon the power tube used), and the other for the “C” battery. Apply about 45 volts to the detector and 67.5 to the radio frequency and first audio tubes. a a a a a a A sports resume, with “inside dope” on what is taking place in the sports world, will be presented to WJZ listeners in anew series of programs, ‘ Long’s Sporting Page,” to be broadcast on Mondays from 5:45 to 6 p. m.

Andrea Inc., New York. The new model is called the Fada 10, and is similar in size and appearance to the alternating current model 10. The circuit was designed to meet the demand of the trade in districts where Edison threewire D. C. service is still in whole or partial use. Voltage between 105 and 125 volts will operate the set satisfactorily. The receiver incorporates a wave trap to give maximum selectivity. Pin jacks on the terminal board permit operation with electric phonograph picktps. It is designed to operate with 200-A type of detector and the 171-A type power tube. The other tubes are standard 201-As. a a a nan Starting this week.

HOOVER MAPS ‘EVERY-NIGHT’ RABIQ_ DRIVE Speakers Start This Month to ‘Stump’ U. S. Over National Network. BY PAUL R. MALLON United Pres* Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.—A $135,000 radio broadcasting campaign to be staged every night beginning in late September has been decided upon by Herbert Hoover ar.d his campaign counsellors. For forty-five nights before Nov. 6 the Republican speakers' bureau will broadcast one-half hour each night on a national network. In order to reach every voter with a radio set, the program will alternate on the National Broadcasting network and the Columbia Broadcasting network. Hoover’s advisers have estimated the cost of setting up each national network will be about $3,000 nightly. Never before has the radio been used so extensively by any advertising or business corporation, much less by a political campaign. But the Hoover strategists believe the money could not be spent more profitably. Only a few thousand persons can hear directly the few speeches of the stump campaigners. The nominee himself intends to make onl? four big speeches. They are all to be broadcast nationally but they cannot cover either the subjects or the people which will be reached by a concerted radio drive. Furthermore, Hoover leaders believe this extensive plan is necessary since they have received reports that the Democrats intend to spend as much as half a million dollars in circulating their educational material over the radio. Western Swing Mapped Hoover will make his four speeches in Newark, N. J., Tennessee or North Carolina; New York City, and New England, probably at Boston. The only dates set defin- 4 itely are Newark, Sent. 17 and New York City, Oct. 17. The Newark speech, the first of the four, will deal with labor problems. A,point near the Tennessee-North Carolina State line, probably Knoxville or Asheville, probably will be selected for his promised speech ir. the so-called “border States.” ASTHMA MADE HIS LIFE A BURDEN Found Way to Conquer Trouble. Has Been Well Ever Since. Sufferers from asthma and stubborn bronchial coughs will find unusual interest in a letter written by Jos. Thompson, 935 Tibbs Ave., Indianapolis, Ind. He says; “I had asthma 7 years and a severe bronchial cough 12 years. My wheeze and cough kept me awake most of the night and even my neighbors awake. Finally a relative who had been benefited by Nacor got me to try it. I was confined to my bed at the time, but before I had finished one bottle I was able to go downtown. I improved steadily and am now feeling fine. Have had no cough and no asthma for over a year. Am sleeping fine all night, and I am working every day. although I am 07 years old.” Amazing as this leter mav be to sufferers from asthma, bronchitis and severe chronic coughs, there are many other such statements from people who .never expected to be well again. Their letters, and a book of valuable Information about these stuhborn diseases will be sent free by the Naoor Medicine Cos., 408 State Life Bldg., Indianapolis, Ind. No matter how serious your case seems, this free information may be the means of showing you the road to health.—Advertisement.

DRILL TOWER FOR FIREMEN IS PROPOSED Chief Voshell Recommends Military Park Project to Safety Board. Erection of a drill tower for firemen In Military Park, near the Canal, was urged today by Fire Chief Harry E. Voshell. Voshell recommended to the safety board that the drill tower which formerly stood on the municipal garage site be rebuilt in the west side park. Use of the drill tower greatly would increase the department’s efficiency, Voshell declared. Voshell estimated the old tower torn down by the Shank administration can be rebuilt for about $3,000. Fred W. Connell, board president, said he favored the tower and would seek to find funds for the project. -It is likely the board will recommend the erection of the tower to the works board which has jurisdiction over public properties. The old tower has been stored In the Shelby St. city barns since it was wrecked. Voshell said he thought the steel work could be used with slight remodeling. He estimated it will cost $3,000 to erect the tower. The tower would be used in connection with the school for firemen under di-

every drug store ir thia city. Thousands of men and women from all ove: this section have indorsed it as 1 he only medicine that gave them last ng relief from disorders of the stonach, liver, kidneys ana boweLs, and rheumatism and v neuiltis, and the Konjola Man at Hook’s drug store, Illinois and Washington Sts., this city, is still leceiving one report after another from former sufferers who have been restored to new and glorious health. There can be only one reason for this great demand and that is the tact that Konjola in most cases does everything claimed for it. One of the latest reports of the benefits received from this celebrated compound is from Mr. F R. Maurice, a well-known Indianapolis citizen, living at 334 Cable St Mr. Maurice enjoys a wide acquaintance among the merchants of this city because of his frequent contact with them as a tobacco seiesman. “This is the first time I ever made a public Indorsement of a medicine,” said Mr. Maurice, “but I am satisfied Konjola is a product of merit and worthy of all tho praise it is receiving every day from the people of Indianapolis. It completely ended my stomach trouble and nervousnsss and filled my whole system with new life energy. "Ever so often I was subject to attacks of stomach trouble that finally made life miserable for me. In fact at times the suflerihg and pains were almost unbearable. Gas bloating caused me the most misery. Every time I ate a full meal, my stomach would swell and feel like there was a heavy rock at the bottom of it. This gas often caused burning pains around the heart and at night I was subject to smothering spells. Soon my nervous system was affected. The least little thing would set my nerves on edge and a terrible feeling would come over me Sound sleep was out of the question and consequently. 1 always felt tired and drowsy, "Jut Konjola relieved all this misery, and now my stomach is in good shape and my nerves never bother me At night my sleep Is sound and restful and I wake up in the morning full of new energy and feeling flr.e. “Konjola was the first medicine to relieve my illness and it worked so effectively on all the organs of my inner-system that 1 believe my relief will be permanent." The Konjola Man Is at Hook s drug store. Illinois and Washington Sts., Indianapolis, where he u daily meeting the public ■ , nc* introducing and explaining the merits of this remedy. Konjola is sold tn every Hook drug store in this section and by all the leading druggists throughout this section.— Advertisement.
