By R. 1VI. Sherrill
{Radio Engineer)
Underground radio reception, under
very'adverse-ponditions, has been suc-
:cessfully carried out near Birming-
ham, Ala. A party of experiments
took a 5 tube set down iarto an iron
.ore mine for reception tests. The
music and announcements from sta-
tion WLS, Chicago, were clearly
beard on a loud speaker while the
party was over a half mile under-
ground!
Antenna Lead -In
Connections
The leadin wire from an inverted L
antenna may be attached to either
end of the top part, if that part .is
actually horizontal. Usually however,
the top part slants, and when this is
thecase-the lead-in should be con-
nected to the lower end.
The aerial will pick up signals best
from the direction of the end to which
the' lead-in is attached.
When a T type antenna is used, the.
lead-in wire should be attached to the
"electrical center" of . the top part.
When both ends of this kind of an-
tenna are of the 'same height, and
when the space below each end is
equally clear of objects,the electrical

As the British ban on the importa-
tion of radio apparatus was lifted at
the beginning of 1925, it is expected.
that the U. S. exports to this new
market will enormously increase the
exporttotal for this year,

Ship to Shore Radio Business
An idea of the increased popu-
larity and' usefulhess of radio com-
munication may be gained from a re-
port of the radio business of the trans-
-oceanic vessel.
During the year 1924, .the White
_Star Liner "Majestic" handled 35,000
messages, ar a total of about 750,000
words. This means that throughout
each voyage the vessel handled an av-
erage of 3i words for each minute.
The passengers avail themselves of
radio for business purposes; for ob-
taining reservations; for greetings to
friends, and even for ordering flowers
:to be delivered to• them at the dock.
:The radio operators on such a ves-
sel must have a pretty busy time of it.
Radio Exports Increase
'The United States radio export
business for 1924 was over 300 per
*cent greater than for 1923. Australia,
Japan, and Nev Zealand were the
principal markets for these exports.
Australia was the principal market, its
-purchases amounting to more than all
'of the others combined. The total ra-
'dio .export business for the year
:amounted to a little over one and
Loud speakers have appeared in a.
number of different disguises. They
are hidden in table -lamps, in victrol-
as, in sea shells and in many other
odd arrangements,
.It is reported that' one of the latest
loud speakers is in the form of a "be -
frilled and be flounced" lady. .There
are some who will consider ' this a
most appropriate combination. •

C, R. H, says: "I 'am using a 3 tube
Ultra Audion set, and an having
great trouble in getting the signals
clearly. The signals are plenty loud
enough but there is so much whistl-
ing along with them,"
Ans.-You may be able to get .the
signals more clearly by using less
plat,: voltage .on your detector tribe.
If the signals arc clear at the detec-
tor but distorted at the amplifier, you
probably need a C battery;
D. N. K. says; -"I have an old six
volt storage battery which has been
standing around discharged for sever-
al months. I have been charging it
for several days straight and it will
not hold the charge but a few hours.
Can a battery in this condition be re-
paired?"
Ans.-It is evident that the battery
plates have become sulphated from
standing discharged. It may be pos-
sible to save the battery bycontinued
charging until the sulphate is broken.
down. The battery shpuld be charg-
ed at
harg-ed:at a pretty high rate to accomplish

Watch Your Lights
The Hon. Geo. S. Henry, ,Minister
of Public Works and- Highways to-
day .announced
oday.announced that it is the intention
of his Department -to immediately
take special steps towards the enfor-
cement of the Anti -Glare Regulations
of the Highway Traffic Act.
Mr. Henry pointed out that the Art
requires the Headlamps on every mo-
tor vehicle to he," equipped with an'
approved device for the elimination
of glare and at the recent Session of
'he Legislature, the Act was amended
so as to•prohibit the use'of headlight
bulbs of over 21 ' candle power.
Motorists would be well advised to
inspect the lighting equipment of their
cars and make sure that they have
both an approved device and the pro-
per strength of bulbs.. The Minister
pointed out, however. that it is not
sufficient to equip a car with an ap-
proved device and proper bulbs. The
main difficulty has been that motor-
ists have not heretofore given consid-
eration to the focusing of the .bulbs
and the aiming of the' lamps. The
motorist whose headlights glare and.
dazzle is not receiving the best re-
sulis from his lamps. If his lamps
were properly focused and adjusted
the light which is so objectionable to

approaching motorists and which is
frequently blamed for accidents would
be concentrated_on the roadway where
it h. needed instead of in the tree-
trps.
The Department hai just issued a
pamphlet explaining in , *simple lang-
uage the proper way to focus and ad-
just automobile Headlamps.
Mr. Henry also intimated that the
practice of driving with but one head-
light or without a tail light must al-
so be discontinued. These me , not
new Regulations but ones which are
commonly neglected. Motorists
clamor every year for a law which
will require ."horse-drawn vehicles to
display lights and yet these same mo-
torists will operate their cars on' the
highways with but one headlight or
without a tail light, Both are danger-
ous practices and offences for which
penalties are provided. In the 'pamp-
hlet just issued by the Department,.
the suggestion is -made that motor-
ists carry spare lamp buibs the same
as they carry a spare tire.
Another regulation which is fre-
quently ignored is that of mirrors on
trucks. Aside from 'he fact that the
law requires a mirror on a truck, it is,
in the opinion of Mr. Henry, an arti-
cle of equipment as necessary as a .
horn.
The Special Traffic Officers attach-
ed to the Motor Vehicles Branch of
the Highway Department are receiv-
mg instructions and will shortly pro-
'ceed to enforce these particular sec-
tions of the law.
