One of the big problems in con-
hection with the outfitting of a port-
":le receiver-is the selection of prop-
er antenna. equipment.
0! course many portable sets—
In fact the majority of them—om-
ploy several stages of radio ' fre-
quency amplification. usually using
UV 199 tubes on account of the
portability of the battery supply for
this type. “‘ith radio frequency sets,
. 3. loop is considered more or less
standard equipment. and is quite
readily portable. However, you may
use a loop with fair success on a
simple regenerative set and two-step
audio amplifier if you don't try to
gét too distant stations. Broadcast
reception can be done satisfactorily
on a three-tube regenerator over dis-
tances up to 300 miles. using a. loop.
This is assuming slightly better than
average receiving conditions.
If you want to make a loop on-
tenna. it is suggested that (en turns
of No. 22 or 24 double cotton—cover-
ed wire be wound on a frame 2 1-2
feet square. The turns should be
spaced about an eighth or a quarter
of an inch apart. This loop, when
used with a 23-plate (.0005 mid.)
condenser. will satisfactorily cover
the broadcast range of wavelengths.
If used with a detector and two-step.
I. varlometer may be used in the
plate of the detector for securing rc-
gonoration. .
It is almost impossible to go to a
place where it is not possible to
string up some sort of single wire
for a. receiver. A very handy and
very portable antenna can he made
out of a. one-pound spool of No. 18
double cotton covered copper wire.
This will run about 1112 feet to the
pound. which will give us all the
wire we want for an average anten-
na ”stem. The rest of the antenna
equiomcnt is illustrated in the draw-

ing at the head of the column. The
100 feet of cord with the lead weight
on the end is used to throw over a
tree limb, or other support_ and acts
as an antenna hoist. Of course you
don't need just that kind. of weight:
as a. matter of fact if you simply
take the cord along you can usually
find a. big‘enough stone to act'as the
weight. Some of the large-size por-
celain egg insulators make good
weights. too. The ground rod may
be a piece of tlircc-cighths-inch iron
rod 30 inches long. secured from
your blacksmith. Have him point
one end so that it can be driven into
the ground easily. Solder your length
of ground wire to the other end. A
piece of pipe will also be suitable for
this ground rod. If you are going to
some section of the country where it
is too rocky to drive rods in the
ground. take a coil of about 60 feet
of No. 18 double cotton covered wire.
and throw this out on the rocks as a
“counterpoise” ground. If near a
lake. a coil of bare wire may be used.
as much as possible being dropped
into the water, with one end being
brought to the ground connection of
the set.
The function of the short piece of
lampcord with the clips is this: Sup-
poao you have an aerial up which
only uses 90 feet of your coil. This
means that you still have about 100
feet of wire on the spool. Rather
than unwind this to get to the end
of the coil for a connection_ simply
scrape away a little insulation on the
wire a foot or so from the spool, and
tap into the wire at this point with
one clip of the lamp cord. The other
clip goes to the antenna connection
of the sol.

Interference ' '
By CARI'ION E. BUTLER,
Radio Engineer.
It is popularly supposed that the
interference'from a. receiving set
that is being operated. with the de-
tector tube in an oscillating condi-
tion. is confined to the immediate
neighborhood or possibly s. distance
of a. half mile.
Recent tests and discoveries have
proven this to be an erroneous im-
pression.
radiating receivers can be heard for
miles rather than city blocks.
In the winter time there are two
passenger bouts making trips acros-
tho southern end of Lake Michigan.
There are no other boats on this end
of the lake at this time of year that
are equipped with radio receiving
sets.
Both of the boats are equipped
with commercial receiving sets us-
ing crystal detectors. This excludes
the possibility of either boat caus-
ing interference from reradiatiou. '
The radio operators on these boats
report that on broadcasting waver
lengths there is a considerable
amount of whistling and howling of
regenerative receiving sets in their
crystal sets even when the boats are
midway across the lake. :1. distance
of over THIRTY MILES from either
shore.
The possibility of your disturbing '
your nearby neighbor by operating
your receiver improperly must be in- g
creased to include the radio fans !
located in nearby towns and com:
tics.
ferers from this growing evil do not
hastily blame the lad who Just erect-
ed his aerial across the way. lie
may have only a crystal receiver.
Perhaps the interference is coming
from a. receiver located ten miles
from your hume.
The situation is daily becoming
worse, especially in the cities. Some-
thing must be done to combat the
evil or the pleasure of receiving dis- ‘
taut stations will be denied to every
one but the boiled owls who will all,
up until the wee hours when the root
of the fans are sleeping.

CHAPTER LIB.
When Frederick Jillo sat down in
his office the next morning. his
mood reflected a. feeling that every-
thing in the world was wrong. and
of all the puppets who provided the
show on this earthly stage he had
been slugeld out for the most try-
ing role.
Immediately his eyes fell

He read it indiflerontly! ‘ "

and faced Miss Stone. .who
was glancing at him. “Pardon the,
Miss Stone. You women — well!

"I'm afraid I’d be like Mrs. 11110
if I were in Paris with access to
all of tho wonderful shops." the
stenompher responded. ~-
"I guess all women are alike."

never would have considered plati-
tudinoss. he went back to the task
of going through his min. Some

ed too much through her association
with the Gessler boy. “I'll have to

Such were his thoughts when the
door opened without a. knock and
Rodney Brent walked in.
“Hello folks." ' 5
Fred looked up with a. frown. He
was getting, as he Would have ex~
pressed it. fed up on Brent's regu-
lar calls on Miss Stone. and the
easy,fa.mlliarlty with which he sat
on the edge of the deal: and called
him. “Fred, Old Bean."
The visitor put his arms around
the stenographer and pretended he
was going to kiss her. almost
brushing her lips with his. She
drew back slightly. laughing.
“Well, Freddie, old boy. I heard
you got in a. smash the other night.
I see you've got 9. little souvenir of
the affair. HoW'd it happen?" All
of his words seemed to merge into

to pass it off with an indifferent
shrug. “Went over into a. ditch."
"Aw como'n. Who.was'shoréBet
you, were both out!"
He tried
at the stenographer, and met Fred's
stony gaze with cairn eyes. ”Say.
old man. let me take fifty bucks
for a. couple of days and I'll be
on."
s If there was any one thing that
Fred did not want to do. it was to
let Brent have any more money.
He had already given him more
than 8150.
Brent read
Fred's face.
“Oh, I my I’ve been intending to

Fred knew he was lying. and he
noted that. he said 'hundred' when
3150 was what he owed. He fought
with himself and lost. Brent was
irresistible. Without. wanting
he handed him two tens and a. five.
“That's all I can spare-awry.”
Brents reply Was almost a rebuke.
{‘Well. I guess I can make it do,"
he grumbled as he left the office.
An office boy entered with a sheet
addressed to Fred. It was a sum~
axons to the president's office.
For some reason. as he left the
office, his heart’seemod to sink.
