Sherrill (Radio Engineer) t The fact that Radio still is a young enterprise is indicated by the various new "stunts" which are being "pulled Doff from day to day. For instance, we have heard broadcasted, the -sounds of the breakers on the beach= es, the sounds from the zoo, the sounds made •by the myriads of 'foot- • steps on the sidewalks of New York, the sounds of the nightingale's song, the sounds of a lover's heartbeats, the .sounds of church and of clock chimes, the voice of the cuckoo etc. etc. ad infinitum:' One of the chief ambitions of a broadcasting station seems t'o be, the first to send out some new kind of -noise. Igo doubt we will soon be lis- tening to the "Whangdoodle" calling -to its mate by radio. -Germany Removes Radio Restrictions German radio' listeners have recent- ,Iy been made happy by the govern- ment's removal of all restrictions on. -the kind of sets used by the amateurs. Before these restrictions,were lifted, it was necessary for the listeners to use only certain standard sets, and these had to be made of ` standard parts bearing an official stamp. This action on the part of the au- -thorities, together With the building -of the German super -power stations is expected to give a tremendous 'boost to the German radio trade. Al- ready, many experimenters are rush- ing to buy parts with which to build their own sets. Canadians Make New Use of Radio The Montreal station, CKAC was put to' a novel ,use last. August, when an appeal for harvest hands was broadcasted by a government repre- sentative. According to the govern - anent official, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta were able to supply but •a third of the go,000 hands needed to harvest the crop. • The appeal was my.de to get the harvesters from the eastern provinces. Employment was guaranteed in the harvest dstricts, and the harvest per- iod was expected to last'through Au- gust, September and October. The Canadian Railways ran: excursion "trains from Quebec and Ontario tof care for the large number of an- swering the appeal. / In response to this call for help, scores of letters asking for more de- tails, were received from listeners in 'eastern Canada and. the United States,' League of Nations Proceedings to Be Broadcasted Reports from. Europe indicate that the proceedings of the 'next League of Nations meetings will be broadcast- ed. Offers to transmit these proceed- ings have been made by' the Eiffel Tower, Breslau, Frankfort, Munich, Rome, and Vienna , stations. It is 'thought probable that the league will accede to these requests. Super -Power Hawaiian. Station Planned ' If the plans of certain Hawaiians are carried out, we may have the pleasure of listening to some of the native Hawaiian music in the near fu- ture. A Hawaiian concern is prepar- ing to erect a 5,000 watt super -station at Waikiki, Honolulu, if the local busi- ness interests will guarantee to pro- vide for theyoperation and rnainten- re ancolth of the station for a five-year per- iod, The present plans provide for build- ing the station on the new hotel which is ,to be erected" at Waikiki, and the cost of the station is estimated • at about $1oo,000. _0_ Radio Questions and Answers (Mr, Sherrill will be glad to help you solve your radio problems. Write him in care of this. paper) Q.—G. A. B. wants to know: "Which is the better to use -a lightn- ing switch or a -lightning arrester?" Ans.--The lightning arrester is .al- ways on the job and is automatic. The lightning switch would probably give better protection, but one is apt to forget to throw the switch when the set is not in use. _per Q.—H. H. S. want's to know:— "What is the best size of by-pass' con- denser to use across the B battery of a regenerative set " Ans.—The best size is dependent upon the circuit and the B battery, but usually o.00x Mfds is enough. It does no harm to use capacities as high as z mfd for this purpose. —o— Q.—J. H. L. wants• to know: "How long can a C battery be used before it is necessary to replace it 'with a new one?„ Ans.—This depends upon the set, and upon the size •of the original C battery. The best way to tell is to measure the C battery voltage fre- quently and replace it whenever its voltage drops over to per cent, below !normal. Poor C batteries are often the causes of set noises.

Which was stolen from Brown's gar- age last Tuesday morning was recov- ered at Port Elgin last Thursday and. brought back. The report comes from Paisley that two stores' there were entered Sunday night and goods stolen from D. C. McGregor and L. O. Charlesworth. Thos. Monk's Ford car was also ta- ken. A quantity ^ of confectionery, fruits, and small hardware was recov- ered in a vacant house on Monday. The Paisley Advocate had the foll- owing to say on the case: "Suspicious movements of a couple of men on the street on Monday night prompted Mr, R. W.` McFarlane and a couple of clerks, who were in the store late doing some work, to remain on the ground, and the result was the near capture of the desperadoes.' A stranger. was. noticed peeping into one after another of the stores at the nor- th end, and it soon became apparent that he was paired up with a young man from the neighborhood on a sch- eme of rubbery. • Becoming alarmed the two disappeared, but shortly after one was was seen driving at a very fast rate in a Ford car that looked like Thos. Monk's of the Balmoral hotel,. Inquiry at the hotel proved that the car was gone and had been taken from the garage there after pry- ing the.lock off the door. Five per- sons then went to a vacant house on the old McCully property on North street, which it was known ' a couple of trespassing fellows had been occu- pying on' Sunday. There a quantity of stolen hardware, confectionary, has yet been'apprehended, it is ex- pected that they will soon be round- ed up, They were seen on the road north of Paisley early Tuesday morn- ing, but were then driving in a Chev- rolet car, so it is supposed that they left the Ford somewhere and com- wandered a better ship of the road., Constable Leitch scouted about the country for them on Monday, and on Tuesday Provincial Constable Widme-.
