:NEW .RADIO .REGULATI,A,NS
EXPECTED
By R. M. Sherrill
,(Radio :Engineer)
:It is . expected, that at the ourth
Annual.Radio Conference which con-
evenes 'in Washington, D. C. this mon-
• th, ,some . definite :steps will be taken
•to regulate the ether traffic so as to
:improve .the present over -crowded
condition: It isup to. this conference
to .decide upon ,what legislation ireee-
eessary. for;the.control .of the .radio -si-
tuation, and what the future policy of
•the.Depertment of Commerce is to be
•towards it,
It:is;not :unlikely that Secretary
'Hoover will suggest the appointment
of a Special Radio •Gopnmission to
'handle•thesituation and to get the ne-
cessary .legislation in shapefor an
,early presentation .before Congress.
There is ,a :pnssitiiliy thate the
broadcasting range may be lowered
•to tee) 'meters :as .a etesult ,of this con-
ference.

There have been several attempts
:made during ,the -summer to cool off
i
Zion of pictures by wire and by radio,
is
,quite astonishing. The art' of radio
photo -transmission is yet in its infan-
cy, but already, e. widespread commer-
cial use of the .idea is being developed.
Newspapers .:are regularly availing
themselves of the .photowire service
offered by the American Telephone
and Telegraph Co., . apd the publica-
tion of pictures sent . in this ,summer
has ceased to be a novelty.
A new record n the transmission df
photographs by radio was made last
May, when pictures of the Naval ma-
neuvers at Honolulu were sent from
that point to Washington, D. C.
These pictures were sent both by ra-
dio and by viire in about 20 minutes,
and the distance was something over
5,000 miles.
Many scientists have been working
on the prolilem of, picture transmiss-
ion by radio; but little has been done
'sounds proved ,very mesterious to
many listeners who .did sn¢t happen to
'hear the preceding 'announcement. In
a number of cases the receiving sets
were blamed for the: orad noises, and
tubs were changed;'B'batteries teeted,
contacts .Gleaned, . ,'etc. ' In one in-
stance, a set owner began scolding his
children, as he believed that the pe
-
'culler noisesthat were coming forth
from his loudspeaker had been caused
by their tampering with 'the receiver,

VV.INGHA.M .AI VANCE-TIMRS
beyond the experimental stage, C.
Francis' Jenkins, of Washington, ;Ll:
C,, has gone a step farther by putting
on the market a simplified apparatus
which may be used by the average
amateur, for both the'transn,issionand
reception of pictures. The device
may be purchased for as low as $1455.
Moreover, Mr, Jenkins is offering
cash prizes for the best pictures
transmitted; and for suggestions on
the improvement of the apparatus..
This policy of putting such a de-
vice into actual operation in the hands
of a number of experiments is sure
to esult in a further development of
they art: The, Government has pei•-
mitted all licensed stations to be used
for the transmission of picture's on the
standard' assigned wavelengths.
Radio Questions and Answers
(Mr. Sherrill will be glad to help
you solve your radio problems: Write
him in care of this paper.)
N. V. says: "I have a two
tube reflex receiver using UVxgg tu-
bes. I also have a UV2oxA tube.
Can I use the UVaonA as an. A. F.
amplifier on the set which uses the
x99s?„
Ans.:—Yes, if you provide the pro
per filament voltages, the different
type of tube will, make no difference.
Q.—M. E. wants to know: "If a 17
plate condenser used :to tune the se-
condary of a R. F. transformer is lar-
ge enough to cover the broadcasting
range?"
Ans.:—The usual 17' plate conden-
ser has a capacity of about 350
mmflds, and with the proper size of
inductance this capacity will cover the
broadcasting range all eight. How-
ever, if the plates happen to be more
widely epaced or smaller in area, the
capacity will be less than this and
probably too small.
o.-11. P, S. says: "1 rewound my
secondary coil on a low loss form. I
used the same wire that I used before
and: the same diameter core but epee
-
ed the, winding. I find that with this
new .coil I cannot tune in the high.
wavelength stations. As I am using
tlie same length of wire as before
should I not be able to Lurie to the
same wavelengths .as before?"
Ans.:—When you space wind your
coil, you 'cut down the distributed ca-
pacity so that more turns are necess-
ary in order to reach the same wave-
length as before.
COMMUNICATIONS
rHE DANCING EVIL
To the Editor of the Advance Times
I Dear Sir:
I am pleased to see that the so Jail-
ed dancing pavillion has been removed
from the Wingham Town Park, I
wish to say right here that I am no
crank on dancing being been in my
younger days, a fair good dancer. One
evening I called at the park, to corn -
pare dancing now and forty years ago.
By no stretch of imagination can you
call what I saw dancing, disgusting
and abominable were the two words
that expressed my feelings. The
same contemptible performance over
and over again, no need to change
the tune. In my clay there might of
been a score of different dances put
on the floor in an evening, every one
of them calling for skill and ability. I
ask Sir what is there behind this un-
seemly performance. Just this that
the promoters may make a little .cavy
money on the side out of the young
people of Winghain, without : the
slightest regard for their moral wel-
fare, Therefore there was no other
course left fora self respecting Chris-
tian Council headed by a Christian
Mayor, than to take the course they
took in regard to this so called 'danc-
ing pavillion and I feel sure Sir, that
every modest right thinking citizen of
the town of Wingham eevill• uphold
them in their action in this matter. If
not then 1 would ask sin whether are
$ ;we drifting to paganism. '
This is not all that can be said oil
this matter. Enough for the present.
