TR»AT FOR US THIS WINTER
By R. M. Sherrill
(Radio, Engineer)
The British Broadcasting Company,
-(13, 13,'; C,), in co-operation with The

winter. The B. R. C, is erecting a su-
per -receiving station at a point suit-
-able for the reception ' of foreign.
broadcasting. • Signals received at this
station will be re -transmitted to Brit-
ish listeners '.through the company's.
stations.
The B. B. C. is to send its programs
to the United States six weeks in ad-
vance. The B. 13. C. will then trans--
Jr-lit
rans-:.mit items selected by the R. C, A.
from the super -powered Daventry sta-

Picked up by the R. C. A. receiver and
relayed simultaneously through • a
•chain of U. S. broadcasting stations.
Programs from the U. S. will be
transmitted to, England in a similar
manner through a super -power sta-
lion. being constructed on the coast of
Maine. B. B, C. stations will then re -

If the present plans for our first
winter of international ,radio, entertain-

ghout the wixiter months.
Announcer Sentenced to Warn
Listeners Against Speeding
The chief outside operator, George
=Q. Adams,,'of station WRC, was ar-
rested forf1'speeding one evening. Jud-
:ge Geor,e H. Macdonald released
Mr. Adams and slid not 'fine him on
—the cpindition that he would take ev-
LISSEP3 ROLKS,
ery `opportunity on the air to warn
,others against breaking the traffic
laws. Officials of station WRC are
•seeing : to it that Mr. Adams carries
-out; the court's sentence to the letter.
Broadcast Listeners' Licenses
Many interesting't'stories are told of
'the` •conditions existing in ,foreign
•countries where listeners are obliged
to pay license fees to operate radio re-
,ceivers.
In a small Swedish town, where the
chief of police is on the radio commit-
tee, it was believed that only a small
proportion of the listeners actually
'held.licenses. One morning practic-
,ally the whole police force of the
town was detailedby the police chief
to make house to house .inquiries.'
Many offenders were caught, prose-
cuted mid fined. Within a week, the
number of licenses had doubled.
When the government's attention
was called to the action taken by the
chief of police,, they ;approved it,and
ordered other townsto adopt the
same methods. When this informa-
long line quickly formed outside of
tion reached a certain small town, a
the. Post Office, and, shrinking mo-
destly in an effort to hide himself in
the line, stood the mayor of the town!
Tungsten Cat -Whiskers
It may be of 'interest to owners
of crystal sets, or of crystal reflex
sets, to know that the tungsten fila-
ment from a burned out incandescent
light bulb makes a cat whisker which
is often quite superior to .•`the usual
type. ; If .the filament used ` has been
taken from an old lamp it may be too
brittle to mount or to handle scccess
fully. A new • tungsten filament is.
much softer, however, and is more
suitable for use with a crystal
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. S. Z. wants to know: "(i)
Should fresh` water be added to a stor-
age battery before or after it isteharg-
ed? (2) Should the hydrometer read-
ings be alike for all three, cells?"
Ans.—Water should be added be-
fore charging,as the charging process
will) serve to mix the water thorough-,.
ly with the electrolyte. The hydrome-
ter readings should be alike, but small
differences are not uncommon and
will do no harm.
Q.—H. S. P. asks: "Can my Tungar
charger be used for charging my new
storage B batteries? The batteries
consist of four 24 -volt units."
Ans -The old type of Tungar char-
ger was not made for charging B bat-
teries, but the More recent type, has
connectors provided for that. purpose.
Q. E. K. P. says: "My B batteries
have been running down much faster
than usual in the last few months.
They 'are used on a three -tube set and
they have been running down in less
than a month.. The set continues to
work though not as well as it used
to. 'Should it be necessary to discon-
nect the 13 battery every time?"

AN ANAGOGETICAL AFTER-
MATH
Defeated But Not Displaced,
Now the great conflict is 'ended,
What of the Victors who' won:
The Knights upon whom we depended
To furnish our land with a Sun?
They promised to give.us a Sun,
Of prosperity, brilliant and strong:
Like the. Sun when the earth begun,
Ere . yet there . was sense of wrong.
This• Orb they painted big, and bright,
A beauteous thing to see,
T'would shine all day, and gleam all
night,
On endless Prosperity.
This Sun of their dreams, alas, tis true
The Liberals like not well,
They say 'tis an Orb of a sinister: hue
And pronounce it `a Sun ,of Hell,
We've got a Sun, old Sol himself,
The liberal Iegions boast,
Whose rays reveal a Commonwealth
For all from coast to coast.
And so we sit perplexed and pained,
After the desperate fight; r
The triumph that the victors .gained,
Is thrust right out of. sight.
This VThtor .crew, to whom is due
The spoils of a hard fought fight,
Have received their cue, from the
other crew,
Who have usurpaged their right.
Majority rule, we learned at school,
Was a very righteous thing:
Who gainsaid that was Knave or Fool
Pray which is Mackenzie King?
The Party strong, whither right or
wrong,
Should get the reins, that's sure,
Though it might not possibly hold
them long,
Or ever feel very secure.
Give the Tories a chance their Sun to
show;,
With its bright effulgent glitter,
Though I think, myself that its migh-
ty glow,
Wil never through tarriff walls frit-
ter. J. G. Webster.

Daughter? Got a paying POSITION?"
"No" answered our hero "but I'm a STAR
At DODGING rent collectors and tradesmen
And I kinda thought you might COACH us
Alpng now and then with a couple of

Fellow was arrested in a Massachusetts town the other
day and brought before a judge—charged with using pro-
fane language against a police officer.
"What did you say- to the officer?" the judge asked.
"F -f -f -a -a" stuttered the prisoner: He was trying hard
but somehow or other he couldn't get the word out of his
system.
Finally, "fathead" was suggested.
"H-nt-m-m" chuckled the judge, "I guess the officer
would be in New York City by the time you could swear
at him. Case dismissed!"
