Can I use a dynamic loud-speaker taking power from ordinary UO-volt alternating house current without any change in my set? (2) Would this give better tone and more volume without increasing the 180 volts of the "B” eliminator? (3) Would it increase or diminish static and tube noises? —H. J. S. ANSWER—Yes. (2) Yes. (3) The set itself and not the loud speaker is responsible for the interception of static and amplification of noises. There will be no more noise in reception when a dynamic speaker is used than when a cone is employed unless the set passes it on to the reproducer. a it it it a tt Vaughn de Leath’s new song, “Ginger Bread Brigade.” will be sung by the Seiberling Singers for the first time in their broadcast Thursday night at 7:30 under direction of Frank Black, the Seiberling Singers sing Nevin’s “Narcissus,” a bass solo with the Seiberling Singers, “The Big Bass Viol,” by Bohannen, and Villa Moret’s “Evenin’.” ' tt It tt tt tt It Westinghouse Stations WBZ-WBZA will inaugurate their 1928-29 schedule of radio broadcasts to the Arctic and Antarctic Saturday night at 10 o’clock with an ambitious four-hour midnight program.
