FREE DRY LAW FROM POLITICS, PINCHOTURGES Enforcement Possible With Expenses Cut in Half, M. E. Men Told. Freed of politics, prohibition in the United States could be enforced better than it is today with half the money and half the men, Gifford Pinchot, former Governor of Pennsylvania, told the area men’s council of the Methodist church at Cadle tabernacle Wednesday night. Prohibition enforcement hinges on the President, Gifford declared, and the United States never has had a President determined to enforce the law. Urges Enforcement "To get the dry law enforced,” the ex-Govemor said, “we need three things which we have never had, namely: “A President determined to enforce the law. "A union of dry forces that will put enforcement first and disregard politics and respect of persons altogether. “A standard of prohibition enforcement not any lower than the standard for the laws against burglary, arson, forgery and other crimes. "President Coolidge in his message to congress Tuesday, said: ‘The federal government is doing and will continue to do all it can in this directions. “If this statement were accurate, as of course it is not, it would sound the death knell of enforcement, for it would mean that the law can not be enforced.” Three-day Parley Ends Bishop Edwin Holt Hughes, resident bishop of the Chicago area of the M. E. church; in an address closing .the three-day,, council, decried the existence of materialism and stressed the need for a reafformation of the spiritual nature of man. A resolution was adopted indorsing the Kellogg peace pact. Another resolution pledged support to newly elected authorities in the enforcement of all laws and in supporting prohibition. Approximately 2,000 Methodist ministers and laymen attended the closing session.

FROM the wings of the radio stage, the Sieberling Singers quartet will step forth Thursday night at 8 o’clock on the NBC chain and repeat their performance in vocal arrangement of Kreisler’s "Caprice Viennois.” It will be a curtain call, and they will take it in response to what should be a record for uninterrupted handclapping, even by mail—eight months. Ever since they first sang the famous violin transcription, made by Frank Black, program director of the Seiberling hour, they have been receiving requests for an encore. Even in the midst of the deluge of letters whfch flooded their mail bags after they sang Rachmaninoff’s “Prelude in C Sharp Minor” there were cries of "Do the ‘Caprice’ again.” So now they’re going to do it. tt it tt tt tt o A half hour of musical variety will be the first offering of the Merrymakers in their broadcast over stations of the Columbia broadcasting system, Thursday night, at 9:30. Speed and gayety will be the keynote of this broadcast. tt tt tt tt tt tt Station WLW’s 50,000-watt transmitter is broadcasting a minimum of 184 hours and 25 minutes each week. Monday, Wednesday and Friday schedules call for broadcasting from 8 a. m. until 1:30 a. m., with forty-five minutes of silence at 2:30 p. m. for staff conferences. On Tuesday and Thursday the same schedule is followed except that the station signs off at 1 a m. The Saturday and Sunday daytime programs vary with the Saturday night program beginning at 5:40 p. m. and continuing until midnight. On Sunday the station broadcasts continuously from 3 p. m. until 11:30. a tt n tt u QUESTION —I have a Radiola 25. and since I began to use a lightsocket antenna it gives Sue performance on the upper wave lengths, but on thp lower I can scarcely hear any stations. All tubes have been tested and pronounced O. K. Do you think if I use an outdoor antenna it would improve reception on the lower waves? —J, R. ANSWER—The light system is acting as too long an antenna. An outdoor antenna ranging from seventy-five to one hundred feet, including the lead-in wire, would no doubt improve tuning.

$5Bl PAYS FOR COLLEGE YEAR, SURVEYSHOWS Minimum Surprisingly Low, Government Report Indicates. BY ALFRED P. RECK United Press Stiff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.—What is the price of a college education? The United States bureau of education after a survey of 1,100 colleges and universities, fixed the average minimum at $5Bl a year, or $2,324 for a four-year term, and the maximum, depending upon the elasticity of dad’s pocketbook. In addition they discovered that the cost of a higher education is twice as much as it was in 1900. The $5Bl a year includes everything necessary to college life, tuition, fees, books, board and room, clothing and entertainment. That, however, would mean that the student must stick strictly to the budget. For $1,005 a year the student would be allowed a little more leeway, couM spend a trifle more for amusements and perhaps live in slightly better quarters. The bureau found: Board and room averages $276 for the college year. Books and stationery cost approximately S2O. Laundry averages $36. Amusements and entertainment average a minimum of sl2. • Clothing averages SIOO. NEGRO SOCIAL CENTER OBSERVES ANNIVERSARY Flanner House Leaders and Pupils Arrange Sunday Program.

New Sparton Set Does Away With Much Interference in Radio Reception

Novel System Developed in Equasonne Circuit by Michigan Firm. Make of Set—Sparton sonne. Model—No. 89. Console. Type of Tubes—Six UY-227 (detector and radio amplifiers); one 250 power tube; one 280 rectifier. Antenna—Outside, about sixty feet. Cabinet—Console model, walnut finish, completely self-con-tained. Speaker—Magnavox Dynamic power cone. Tuning—Single illuminated dial and volume control. Power Supply—Operates at 25 to 60 cycles, 90 to 130 volts alternating current. BY TIMES RADIO EDITOR Anew system of broadcast reception has been developed by the Sparks-Withington Company of Jackson, Mich., makers of Sparton radio receivers. This new system is known as the Equasonne circuit. During the last week we have had opportunity to test thoroughly this new circuit and give you our findings. Selectivity of the new circuit is constant throughout the broadcasting band, tuning just as sharp at 1,500 kilocycles as at 550. Another unique feature is that only one stage of audio frequency amplification is required, the output from the detector being sufficient to operate a twenty-five watt power tube up to full capacity of the latter. Many listeners are aware that it is almost impossible to receive distant stations without considerable interference and background noise below 250 meters. The Sparton Equasonne does away with these difficulties by use of a selector circuit, or band pass filter, connected directly to the aerial and ground, which permits only one broadcasting channel of ten kilocycles to pass through- This selector circuit has no tubes associated with it and is composed of a recurrent network of inductances. The band of frequencies to be selected is varied by changing the capacities of a group of condensers in the selector circuit. The width of the band which is allowed to pass through the selector remains practically constant from 1,500 to 550 kilocylces, so that selectivity is just as good on long waves as on short.

The band of frequencies passed through the selector then is amplified by a system of circuits of fixed adjustment which automatically tune themselves to the impressed frequency. Instead of the customary tuning condenser, the capacity between grid and filament of the tube is used. Heretofore this variation was regarded with annoyance, but in the Equasonne circuit this change in capacity purposely is exaggerated, so that it changes with the impressed frequency by just the amount needed to keep the coil connected across the tube tuned to resonance at all times. This new circuit produces a wonderful tone with remarkable volume, free from all distortion. Stations on the new Sparton are received from coast to coast with equal volume. On one evening during the test, the following distant'stations were received with almost as much volume as the locals: KFI, Los Angeles;

The set is shielded completely and is exceedingly quiet in operation, being entirely free from line hum and noise. Sparton Equasonne receivers are offered in five different table and console models, all employing the same seven-tube chassis. After a careful test and check we believe the new Sparton Equasonne AC receiver will be one of the outstanding radio sensations of the season. Sparton sets may be had with magnetic or dynamic speakers. The test set was furnished The ‘Times radio editor by the Em-Roe Sporting Goods Company, 209 West Washington street, local dealers of Sparton radio sets and speakers.
