Static Is Radio Fan’s Most Annoying Enemy The only thing that destroys the bliss of the radio fan’s paradise Is that persistent and annoying enemy known as “static.” In the midst of a ' delightful number in a grand opera, , a crucial moment in a big fistic com- ■ bat or just in the middle of the Presll dent’s address come thundering , crashes that mar the pleasure of the ; evening. | t Many minds have been turned to I the solution of the “static” or “atmospheric” problem. Yet it is one ■ of those evils that we may always have with us. Not so bad in winter, but in summer, like a thousand devils let loose to make noises in your receiver. Patient investigation has disclosed the fact that static is nothing more than periodic discharges of atmospheric electricity into your aerial or loop. This is particularly noticeable during a thunderstorm. The lonization of the air during the summer months is blamed for a large part of the trouble, but its solution lies in the same class as communication with Mars. In other words, it hasn't been done as yet A careful analysis of your radio set and its operation discloses the surprising fact that a great deal of the “static trouble” can be cleared up in th set itself. Primarily a short aerial 50 to GO feet long, together with the lead-in, will minimize static interference. Loose connections and a swinging aerial may likewise cause a lot of trouble. A leaky condenser block or defective transformer will produce the same effect. Nearby trolley wires parallel to the aerial, pole transformers, buzzers and electric motors all contribute their bit of annoyance through station CRASH. Then again, the troubles may lie in the set, as when plates of a condenser scrape at certain points when you twist the dial in tuning. A defective phone cord will also introduce considerable trouble. Likewise, loose contact springs in the tube sockets will interefere with reception. Often a noisy greadleak will cause endless annoyance, as will defective “B” batteries. Or the trouble may lie in a soldered joint that its mechanical connection while it is broken electrically. Much of the set static oftimes originates in the loud speaker, the unit of which may be defective or improperly adjusted. Or again the power supplied to the unit may be too great and noisy reception will result unless the speaker is properly bypassed. Yet most of the time the trouble originates in the tubes and the filament circuit. A tube that has gone soft will create much static, or tubes Improperly balanced will give improper reception Likewise a run-down storage battery will cause many noises due to gassing In fact, the operator of the set creates most of the static himself by failing to properly adjust his rheostats from time to time with the aid of a good voltmeter, so that the tubes receive the correct amount of current as the battery discharges or as the eliminator fluctuates. This trouble can be eliminated by replacing the manual rheostats with amperite self-adjusting rheostats, which automatically adjust themselves to the current flowing to the filament of the tubes, keeping them always at the correct operating temperature. Thus the circuits are kept properly balanced and extraneous noises sfopped. For factory-built sets there is now available the amper-ite-adapter system, which instantly converts any set to automatic filament control without the change of a single wire. It is only by paying proper attention to this man-made static and making sure of the fact that the filaments of the tubes are being operated at the proper temperature that the evils of static can be mitigated. Found It Very Costly Measure of Enthusiasm i Radio statisticians who try to determine the relative popularity of broadcast features have a new measuring stick to work with: the kilowatthour. According to Arthur Williams, vice president of the New York Edison company. New Yorkers burned up ; SG,OOO worth of extra electricity the ' night of the Tunney-Dempsey fight, i listening to the radio description of the battle and staying up to read the newspaper accounts that appeared shortly afterward. The extra load carried by the company’s generators did not fall off until three o’clock the next i morning.—Radio News. Domestic Problems May - Be Solved by Two Sets The two-car idea is spreading. So Is the two-radio idea. Newspapers realize the need for catering to Individual tastes; hence the woman’s page, the sport pages, the real estate and motor sections. The American family averages five members, each of whom has his own radio preferences. The elders may favor sermons and songs and lectures; the younger, dance music. Perhaps, too, the presentation by the family of a radio set to the servant might help to solve a domestic problem. V-Shaped Antenna Will Give Very Good Results For best results the antenna should run in a straight line, but, if the antenna is stretched from one corner of the front of the house to a pole in the center of the rear, ‘and from there to the opposite corner on the front, very good results can he expected. The lead-in should be taken from one end of the wire at the corner of the house.

BLOUSE DRAWS ATTENTION; COLOR IS IMPORTANT FEATURE

WHAT with the elegance and gorgeousness of the materials which go to make up the autumn blouse, the theme becomes one of exciting interest. The autumn trend Is toward formality. That Is. the blouse Is not made so much a utilitarian thing of convenience. but rather it is an expression of luxurious loveliness. Glittering and colorful cloths of impressive splendor, richly toned brocaded chiffons, velvet prints in exotic hues and a host of other imposing materials—of such Is the autumn blouse fashioned.

Not onlj are the fabrics so» the blouse of super-beauty, but they are styled with intriguing details which multiply their charm. Bows are playing a most fascinating decorative role, appearing often, one at the neckline, one at the hipline and sometimes little bows tied at the wristline—not ribbon bows so much as bow. tn self material. There are jabots, too. a plenty, and surplice fastenings and that which Is newest, the draped attached border which encircles the hips, tying in a soft bow at one side. This wrap-around the hipline is so designed as to achieve a bloused effect above It. This is decidedly a favorite silhouette for fall. The dernier cri is for sleeves of con trasting fabric, more especially those chiffon for the blouse of velvet brocade. A bit of the brocade Is then used to trim the sleeve with results which \re wonderfully effective. A superb color harmony reign through out chiffon sleeve and brocade blouse. So pronounced Is the vogue for velvet It enters even into th«; sppns realm. As a medium for sports clothes rayon velvet is especially indorsed. A striking country club costume is shown in the picture. The blouse is made of striped transparent

rayon velvet In green and white with a finely plaited white crepe skirt. Unusual attention is directed to the skirt which unites with the blouse to make the smart autumn costume Perhaps the handsomest are those of plaited velvet, some of which have scalloped hemlines. Color Is the central theme around which all fashion themes are revolving for fall and winter. The mode having elected to glorify color, Is doing so in ways as varied as they are fascinating. Sometimes color is emphasized by striking contrast and modernistic novelty. Just as often It asserts Itself Many New Details Are Being Shown in Mode So many new details are being introduced to fashion in the wake of femininity's revival that it is becoming a difficult matter to keep pace with Paris. FriUs, fads and furbelows have had such lean years since the war that many women have been unconsciously hungry for the dainty inconsequentials which played such a part in fin de siecle styles.

through exquisite monotone effect for the costume from head to foot. There is that air of exclusiveness about the costume in the picture which is always bespoken when a one-color scheme is studiously carried out. This smart ensemble is of light-weight wool crepe. It boasts a graceful cepe of unusual lines. A jabot trimming on the blouse helps carry out the onecolor, idea. The skirt is plaited, for the wide hemline is evidenced even in tailored modes in the new showings. Developed in a light russet brown, it tunes in most lovely with the autumn landscape, even to its matching felt toque. The footwear and hat worn with this costume are identical in shade, which they should be. to be modish. If the fashion-wise woman does not succeed in accurately matching every detail of her costume in the shops, she takes her hosiery and accessories to the dyer who nowadays takes pride in “telling the world” that he will produce a “perfect match.” It seems that brown is appointed by the mode to carry the honors for fall. Even one’s costume lowers are dyed brown. Huge clusters of brown violets are tremendously attractive To complement the brown costume mil-

liners are displaying alluring titrie. hats in warm-toned browns. Models of brown satin soleil are the “last word,” and being lusterful they carry a ruddy beauty which is handsomely autumn-like. Bright blues, too, are claiming attention. There is a pretty play being made on both brown and blues in the velvet section, for, as everybody knows who keeps informed on the fashion outlook, velvet, especially sheer lusterful velvet, both printed and plain, will dominate in the fabrir field for fall and winter.
