resistible play, which will be presented by a cast of New York actors.

THE INTERNATIONAL BROAD-

By R. M. Sherrill

The replrts 'of a Super -superpower
station, located in Geneva, Switzer
land, and internationally owned and
operated, continue to circulate. An
organization, 'calling itself the Inter-
national Broadcasting Bureau, (LB.

from nine broadcasting countries, has
been formed.
We Americans, who live in a com-
paratively large country with few in-
ternational -borders do not realize the
necessary for such a bureau. In Eur-
(ope,where the signals from even a
!low powered - station may cross half
a dozen international borders, there is
much danger of severe foreign radio
interference.
It is. expected that h B. B. through
,its international station, will be able
to bring about harmony between the
European countries and -a co-opera-

Women Influence Type of Radio
transwitt:ng and receiving apparatus,
women have recognized the radio re-
ceiver as primarily a musical instru-
ment. They : are whiling to accept it
as a piece of furniture in their living
rooms provded it has the appearance
of a piece of furniture and has no
conglomeration of wires and batteries
dangling around.
If these arguments are accepted by
the manufacturers, we can: expect the
newer receivers to be more handsome
ly mounted, to be more easily con-
trolled, to operate without the pres-
ent type of A and B batteries, and to
'be better suited for the perfect repro -
I duction of local and moderately dis-
tant stations rather than for picking
up DX.

Government Investigates Trust
Charges Against R, C. A.
Numerous and persistent charges
that the Radio Corporation of Ameri-
ca were monopolizing the radio indus-
try in the United States, have result-
ed in an investigation by the Depart-
ment of Justice. Attorney -General
Sargent has announced that the inves-
tigation is still continuing, and that
the patents controlled by the. R. C. A.
and other related matters are being
looked into.

Radio and Insanity
It has been stated by Dr. Isham.
G. Harris, who is superintendent of
the Brooklyn State Hospital .for the
Insane, that radio sets were no longer
ailoweQjt the hospital because of the
irritating effect of static on the men-
tal cases.
Some of the static that we have
been getting in the last couple of mon-
ths has been enough to provide Dr.
Harris with a number of new patients!
Radio Questions and Answers
(Mr. Sherrill will be glad to help
you solve your radio problems. Write
him in care of this paper.)
Q.—H. S. P. says: "My receiver has
been making a lot of scratching noises
lately, and even when the antenna is
disconnected, some of the noise con-
tinues. Does this mean that the B
battery needs replacing?
Ans.—The trouble might be in the
B batteries if theyare very old. It
might be that even with your antenna
disconnected, your receiver is picking
up enough "static to account for the
noises.
Q—P. H. B. asks: "Can I use a low-
loss spiderweb coil in place of the tu-
bular type, for the reversed feedback
coil on the Superdyne?"
Ans.-Yes. If it has the proper
tamount of inductance, it will work as
well as theoriginal type of coil,
P. A. says: "I am troubled
by a transmitter somewhere near me,
which interrupts my reception of
broadcasting. I- do not hear any noi-
se from this transmitter, but the mus-
ic that I am receiving, stops and starts
again at rapid intervals. What can I
do to stop this?" -
Ans.—From your description of the
trouble, ,it is probable that theze is a
CW transmitter operating nearby. If
ou would use a wave trap, you can
eliminate this kind of interference en-
tirely.
It has been estimated that Less than"
to p. c. of the homes in the United.
States are equipped with radio ;receiv-
ers. It is the aim of manufacturers
and dealers to get for themselves as•
much of the business of that remain-
ing 82 p. c. as possible. A good way
to do this, it is claimed, is to design
the future radio sets so that they will
appeal to, the women.

•Up to the"present time, most of the
receiving sets have been bought by
the men, who, unconsciously perhaps,
have been more concerned with the
DX that they could get, that with the
quality of the. program or the appear-
ance of the receiver.'

Whistling a merry tune—
We hustled from the cabin.
In our hand a nimble rod.
In our kit, a fine assortment
Of flies and lures. We headed,
Straight for that nearby
Stream that came a -tumbling
Through the 'dense woods.
The birds were fluttering
About and chirping and having
A regular holiday.;
The leaves added their rustling
Refrain to the Bong of the birds
And the sun played merrily on
The scene. Really, it was too
Good to be true.
Our heart was gay. The world
Seemed ours as we stepped forward
Into the cool waters of that
Stream. Our tackle adjusted, we
Whipped our rod for the first
Cast. • A light splash where our
Fly hit the waters.
Bang! Swish! Wow! There he is!
Look at 'int go with that line!
What sweet notes came from the
Whirl of that reel. We played
The big critter. And—Oh! What Fun!
Five minutes. Ten minutes.
Fifteen minutes. Look! He's
Getting tired.. We started to reel
Him in. And just as we were
Slipping our landing net under
That gorgeous, beauteous -colored
Body and—and—our heart was
Hitting on all six with joy---

That's enough about the fish. Looking through the 'pa-
pers, we see where a Chicago man bought a new car andr
the first day out smashed a pie wagon all over the scen-
ery. The driver of said, pie wagon protested that the mo-
torist had "lots of crust." And he did. 'Round his neck!

Another report says"only one pedestrian in a hundred

We know the signals all right all right. Only the signals
don't mean anything to the motorists.
