Radio Owners May Soon See All Big Happenings The day when radio owners will be able to tune in on sporting events and other happenings of interest in any part of the country and see them, instead of merely hearing an announc- ' er’s description, has moved one step ■ closer. The Bell Telephone laboratories re- ' cently demonstrated their improved I sunlight television apparatus which j shows several full length figures as they move about an area about the I size of a boxing ring. Previously tele- ! vision had been restricted to record- ■ ing no more than a head and shoulders. At the recent demonstration a man 1 served tennis balls, drove a golf ball, boxed with a companion, and went I through other motions on the roof of i the laboratories, and on another floor i every action was shown in perfect de- : tail on a screen about two inches by three. ' The television images were as clear as the average movie and were marred only by an appearance of being under a paper-thin sheet of water moving slowly upward across the picture. This defect engineers r.ttiibute to the fact that the electric eye of the televisor scans its field through holes in a revolving disk. An increase in the number of these holes, or adjustment of their position, they believed, would eliminate the trouble. The new televisor makes use of sunlight in picking up the image it transports instead of the powerful beam of artificial light previously used, which had to be set so strong that it was uncomfortable to the subjects of the experiment. An improved photo electric cell far more sensitive than those used before made operaration by sunlight possible. Whether the improved apparatus could operate with Klieg lights such as the movies use for night events has not been tried out but engineers see no difficulty in the way of such an adaptation. Bell laboratories officials declined to make any prediction as to the future developments or applications of the invention but acknowledged that the developments demonstrated illustrated ■ the continued interest of their engineers in television as something worth working on. The new televisor is Identical with the company’s previous models except for changes in the transmitter which permits the use of sunlight and reproducing of a larger field. Microphonic Ring.ng May Be Easily Checked Very often in amplifying circuits where “high-mu” tubes are used, a howl is noticed in the loud speaker, which is not changed by adjustments of the receiver. If this happens the tubes are said to be “microphonic.’ This condition can usually be corrected by moving the reproducer away from the receiver; although it iriay be necessary to mount the tubes on sponge rubber to dampen the vibrations. There are on the market at present several types of shock-proof sockets which are helpful in preventing this microphonic ringing. Exchanging tubes in the sockets -is also helpful in some cases. —Radio News. I Radio Aids Phonograph Industry in S. America The growing popularity of radio broadcasting is giving impetus to rhe phonograph business in South Africa instead of adversely affecting it. E. D. Lawson, United States trade ; commissioner at Johannesburg, reports that programs containing gramaphone recitals, aided by publicity, have been very effective in promoting sales of records. ' Jazz music is waning in popularity in that country, a gramaphon& competition conducted by a Capetown station indicated. In the five most popular records selected by vote of 1,300 listeners no jazz selections were included. Way to Control Volume With Little Distortion It is often found, when receiving sets incorporating power tubes are used for local reception, that the volume is excessive. The usual method to reduce this volume is to turn down fithe filament current on one or more of the tubes in the set; but, this sometimes produces distortion and unnatural tone. Possibly the simplest method for controlling the volume without harming the quality is the utilization of a fairly high resistor in the plate lead of the last R-F. tube. This method controls the volume effectively without introducing any noticeable distortion. —Radio News. — I SHORT WAVES I Greece purchased only 233 radio sets during the last year. A man who never has a chance of having his first name spelled the way he spells it is Loyd A. Briggs of the Radio Corporation of America. Radio television, it is said, is at a i stage where It is prepared to leave the seclusion of the research laboratory and enter into -the daily affairs and uses of man. Because it will be more convenient for inspectors to operate from Atlanta than New Orleans. Alabama has been changed from the fifth radio inspection district to the fourth district Hereafter the supervisor of radio located l at Atlanta will have jurisdiction over Alabama. An S O S message was broadcast the other evening concerning a girl in Birmingham, England, who had been missing for 22 days. Before noon on the day after the broadcast the Bir- | mingham police had received a mes- ! sage that the girl had been located I in a hospital in Woolwich, undef an ; assumed name, suffering from diphtheria.

World-wide tax information indicates that radio is classified in almost | every nation on the earth as a neces- ! sity, and not as a luxury. France I and Spain alone classify radio as a luxury in their taxation programs: France levies a 12 per cent tax on cheaper products, while Spain has a 5 per cent ad valorem rate. About a dozen rtruntries levy a sales, or excise, tax, imposed generally on almost all products, including radio.—Popular Radio.

ENSEMBLE THEME FOR AUTUMN; PICTURESQUE FOR WEE TOTS a —W * J | - z > x '"\ \t I X qJ L x 4 Aw' Hl. • ’/Owl BI a

THERE are some fashions J. which are too meritorious to be lightly abandoned. In * h fact, so praiseworthy are : they that they carry over from one season to another, Wjjrejl establishing themselves as a aM staple, as it were. Os course they cite novel variations and innovations to conform with changing modes and whims. We have in mind g r i the ensemble. Around this basic theme fancy is playing at a lively rate for autumn. New and intriguing interpretations of the ensemble are even now making a persuasive appeal for the future. i A smart creation from the French capital is pictured herewith. This ensemble has a kasha coat lined pari tially and trimmed with a silk plaid. The remainder of the lining is of the same material as the crepe dress. Distinguishing details are the wide plaid belt, the kerchief neckpiece and the. buttonholes which are bound with plaid. The plaited insert for the i skirt secures the required hemline j fullness. Early fall showings emphasize the : ensemble of printed velvet. From the outlook, the vogue for velvet will dom - inate in the style world during the next several months. Not only printed effects but velvets which are in solid browns, blues, greens and other rich deep beautiful colorings. In regard to the velvet ensemble, it ! is a matter of preference as to whether ! the costume consist of a skirt and jacket of the velvet with a contrasting ; blouse, or whether it feature a long coat posed over a one-piece dress. I Black velvet with gold or white dots or neat figures is first choice with ; tones of brown next in favor. Prominent in the sports "group are ensembles both knitted and of tweed. The latter is often made up with skirt

and cape. Very newest types button the tweed skirt to a tailored blouse at the waistline. In knitted costumes the th.'me of the ensemble will be more elaborated upon than ever. Again, interworkings of metal touches will enrich the com bination, and there will be novel em broidery and patterned effects intro duced into the realm of knitted en- > setnbles. As in the realm of velvet ensembles browns of every tone will be emphasized in things knitted. Strikingly beautiful are the brown and orange tweed knitted effects, some with gay striped or patterned borderings. Fashion is in a mood to make I children’s clothes as picturesque, as Two Weights of Crepe Used for Tennis Frock A sleeveless frock has been designed for tennis in either of two weights of crepe de chine or pique. This is a belted model with the skirt joined to the blouse and is the step-in type of dress, fastening with large pearl buttons down the center front from lapel collar to waistline.

At least a group of. children is a charming sight not only because of the little folks themselves, but their attractiveness is greatly accented by the cunning clothes they wear. In times past there was a marked line of distinction drawn between French and American children's apparel. At a glance one could recognize a Parisian child by its dress. Not so in present fashions. Little American girls have taken to wearing skirts every whit as short as those of their wee friends across the sea, while’ the ' styling of their clothes features every innovation called for by the mode. One of the advance ideas for fall is the contrasting of blouse and skirt. A plaited crepe skirt with an overblouse of printed velvet is the'newest thing. For the well-dressed little girl Paris suggests a unique costume which consists of a pongee tunic blouse worn with black satin panties. This cunning little outfit, which is here pictured, reflects' the Russian influence in the blouse, not only in its silhouette but in it? trimming as well, which is handworked cross-stitching done in gay colors Hand-smocking and hand-embroider-

ing continue to beautify children’s smocks and frocks and coats. The idea is to work out pleasing color contrasts. For instance, a peach colored broadcloth pantie frock has the smocked diamond motif worked out with floss in a vivid henna shade. Another interesting item is' that of plaid silk smocks, or frocks, if you so please to call them, for they really do button up the back. Thes n are smocked in round yoke fashion and they are very cunning worn over plain satin knickers.
