Radio's First Prodigy, at 8, Is

Iiy JACK JUNGMKYL'K. S;"c!al to Tb Nwi-TIin8. Lud ANGCLI-a-, June 6. In Bobbie Garsla, radio has produced Us first youthful proJisy. At eight he in the world's youngest licensed operator and instructor -distinctions resting lightly on his blond touseled head. Bobble is the only child of Mr. and Mrs. Allan Garcia. The three are known here as the "radiant radio family" because of their Joyous combination of domestic and professional life. I found them, busy a beavers, in the garret of their home, converted into laboratory and workshop, fashioning shiny materials into tongue and cars of the ether. The boy, full-fledged business partner of his parents in the manufacture of radio instrumenta, was making a two-tep amplifier which had to be finished before he could play a game of shinney with the neighborhood youngsters. "I'm going to specialize in making sets for boys," he volunteered, "and then I'm going to corner the business among the kids. 'I'm going to put 'em up In nice boxes so the mothers will not ay, Get that old trash out of here'.' " lUulio Ixadcr. Barefoot and bareheadcl, he had Jjuit corr.e home from grammar pchool where he 13 in the high fifth and whro he ia president and in structof of the pupils' radio association. A normal, playful, mischievous, lad, -without any of the profound alra of so many precocious children, alternately engrossed in marbles ana baseball and aerial chatter. Young Garcia had hardly turned eeven when he won his operator's license by pass.nff an examination which worries many applicants thrice fti3 age. He did it after nvo weeks' study and before he had entered school. HLs mother, a trained instructor, had taught the boy reading .nd arithmetic. And from his VERTICAL TYPE TWO-TYrES O Antenna Height Rules Strength for Distances By PA UI I GO I) LI-TV, America's Foremost Iladio Authority In a receiving antenna it is height that counts. Of course, there are other considerations, too, but for the man tvho wants to get signals from great distances (and what radio fan doesn't?) height is the thing for -which to strive. The higher the antenna, the greater the electrical potentials which will be produced in it by the electric waves. The major of the "other considerations" is ono having to do! ... - i with resonance. When an electrical circuit is resonant with GODECY. another electrical circuit, it 1 of such dimension as to be capable of having set up in it electrical oscillations. In order that this may be accomplished by the methods available for tuning the radio receivers, some thught must be given to the total length of the antenna as well as its height. Most radio fan. wish to listen to wave lengths as short as 200 meters. It Js much easier to "load" a small antenna for the reception of long waves, than to operate upon a long antenna for receiving snort waves. It is well to keep this in mind whm THREE-MINUTE JOURNEYS ! uv TrArpLi: manning If th traveler having been In ; Kerasur.d the beautiful city on the i si.-uthorn border of the Bhack sea j before tho war, should go there; now, ho -would notice a great change. This change Is not in the appearancd or tht city as nr as tno fuuaings ana pener.ii aj.pearar.ee go, but in the general atmosphere of the. place.

father he had imbibed electrical lore ince boyhood. "I thought it would be fine if a boy of seven could get a radio station of his own," he confided ns he tapped a panel. "I didn't want to wait until I became a man. Kids can do lots more things than old people think they can, can't the' daddy?" Father un Kxpcrt. Daddy confirmed it by citing his own progress in the electrical world. At 10 Allan Garcia, then in San Francisco, .13 an expert at housewiring. At 16 he was chief electrician on tho steamer Xebraskan. A short time later he erected the first commercial radio station on the Pacific coast. Today he's one of the country's recognized experts. "The boy comes naturally by his love for the work and his aptitude," he explained. F ANTENNA constructing tho antenna. Utiles for Aerials. A good rule, although one which gives only approximations, is: "The total over-all length of the antenna system in feet from its extreme end to the ground connection. should not he trf nf(.r thin tho -i ve I length in meters, divided by 1.2 in." Following out this rule, and assuming that it is desired to receive from stations transmitting at a wave length of 200 meters, the result will be ICG feet. Neither the number of wires In the antenna, nor tho height, will affect this approximation to any great degree. If it is poib!e to secure a nonconductive support as high as lGti feet to the top of which can be run a vertical, or nearly vertical, wire or two, the result will le considerably superior to those placed in the form of an "E" or "T"-shaped antenna, whose- vertical sections are only .10 or 40 feet In length. Rut the average radio fan have available supports as this. Vertical Preferred. Some may take sufilcient will nt high as interesi in the radiophone to erect a special non-conductive ma--t, or insulated mast, of approximately this height. To such, it can be said, that the re- ' suits obtained will warrant the effort. To those who must place dependence upon what natura! supports are avaiiar.le. it may be pojnted out that the higher the wire, the better, provided that the total length of the antenna firm its extreme -nd to the earth connections, does not exceed the figure derived from using tht formula civen above. If the antenna is of too great length, no success is to be had In tuning it to the shorter wave lcr.jrth. Ciins t lint might result from Increased lengths are more the European styles with feverish excitement. Today the formerly shy ar, d r tiring oriental ladies have become quite modern. They have vastly ehanged in ape.irance. They wear h.'gh-heeled shoes and short skirts a la mod.

Diamonds THERE is modern flippancy to llie effect that, "What yon don't know won't hurt you' It is also a fallacy. For instance: The farmers of Kimherley 'were a disgusted, disheartened lot. They said the soil was too rocky to earn them a living. Some of them left. Others died in poverty. And all the time their children were playing with diamonds. But the farmers didn't know. They thought the priceless gems were pebbles. Doirt be like those Kimherley farmers. Know! Doirt seek opportunity in some distant place and overlook the diamonds thai are daily within your grasp. Know! Advertising is a mine of opportunity. It tells of values you wouldn't know about if it were not there to guide vou. The secret of economical buying is information. c The man or woman who is best informed is the one who buys to best advantage. Read the advertisements. Know! '
