tice is to build a. long wave tuner.
The long wave stations are always
“on the air", day and night. can be
heard anywhere in the country with
a. one tube receiver and are about the
nspcciai-
- upcrlmen-
that the sending is by machine—
which gives evenness—and at com-
putatively slow speeds.
‘ “'e have shown the simplest form
of long wave tuner in the drawing
at the head of the column. A mini-
mum. of apparatus is required and
consists of. a. tube, rheostat. socket,
.00025 mfd. grid condenser and leak
at 1000, 1350 or 1500 turn honey~
comb or duolateral coil. and a vari-
able condenser, which may be either
a .0003 mid (23 plate) or a .001
mfd. (43 plate). The apparatus is
connected as shown. The receiver
should oscillate freely over practi-
cally ,all of the condenser range. If
any difficulties are encountered with
oscillation. variation of the grid
leak should remedy the trouble.
All the tuning is done with the
condenser “C" As this is turned a
greater number of “whistles" will be
heard. It is only necessary to pick
out one of these and listen in.

and it “will not be long before the
gaps in your copy will get smaller
and smaller, and soon you will be
making "solid" copy—that is, getting
every letter. After getting to the
point where the long wave stations
can be copied easily you are ready
to go down to the ships and am-
tours and listen in on them.
Do not forget that ther is a. Gov-

Tuning Skill
For Distance
By (LUKLTON E. BU TIER.
Radio Engineer.
On your first radio set you may
have all connections correctly.made.
have a. good aerial and ground in-
stallation and still be disappointed
in results. Local stations will come
in with excellent volume but not a.
sound do you heagfrom the broad-
casting in a distant city.
The distance stations will come in
if you are able to receive the more
powerful stations with excellent
volume. It is merely a. matter of
fine tuning. - -
A certain amount of skill is neces-
sary in order to tune in the Weaker
and more distant stations. Combined
with the skill. a. knowledge of the
tuning characteristics of your re-
ceiver is also of importance.
A thorough knowledge of your de-.
tector tube is another important
point to be considered in tuning. The
audio frequency amplifier will auto-
matically increase the volume of
sound that is furnished it by the de-
tector tube“. but careful adjustment
must be made in order that the de-
tector tube will operate at its best.
Before blaming the circuit or your
aerial try difierent voltages of 3
battery from 16 to 25 on your de-
tector tube. Try reversing the fila-
ment connections on your socket and
try changing the position of the
rheostat. Kit is now in the positive
6, t' the negative. ”
163ml; experience and. familiarity
with your. receiver can only be
gained from experience. and this
experience cannot be obtained in a
few evenings.
In tuning be governed by results.
It turning a dial in one direction

Requests for New Mo-
‘ del Unexpected by
Company Officials ——
Has Fishér Body
An increased number of workmen
have ben assigned to the manufac-
ture of the Oldsmobile Cab, accord-
ing to latest reports from the Olds
Motor Works, Lansing, Mich. The
increased production of this model
has been made necessary by an un-
precedented and unexpected de-
mand, officials report. The increase
is believed due in a. large measure,
to the increased number of women
who this year have entered the ranks
of motorists.
"When the Cab, a. closed car for
two passengers. was put in the
Oldsmobile line. it was designed
chiefly for use by business and pro-
fessionalmen," said Guy H. Peas-icy,
sales manager of Olds Motor \Vorks.
“With that idea in view, we antici-
pated that the demand for this type
of car would tend to decrease slight-
ly with the coming‘bf warm weather,
at which time most business houses
and professional men would 'havc
already purchased their automobiles.
“Instead, to our surprise, we
found the demand increasing. rather
than falling off. It became neces-
sary to add to our production to
keep pace with orders.
"Reports from dealers have re-
vealed that a growing number of
women were selecting the cab for
their own personal car, because this
type of car is ideal for their wants.
It has all weather protection, ample
seating capacity for two or three
and has an. unusual amount of lus-
Kage space. This latter includes an
interior compartment of five cubic
feet Qapacity directly back of the
seat, and another space of 13 cubic
feet capacity under the rear deck.
protected by a'water and dust proof
door 32 by 18 inches.
"In most cases the women buyers
are getting the car for their per-
sonal use. as the family car. so—
callcd, is used by the man of the
house most of the time. In many
cases, however. thc‘car is the fami—
ly automobile but is used during the
day by; the wife for her shopping.
social calls and to give the children
the benefit of tlps in the fresh air.
“Another important feature about
the six cylinder 1924 Oldsmobile that
makes it exceptionally well liked by
women, according to these dealer
reports, is its ease of handlingin
traffic. The turning radius ls only
18 feet and the car an be parked
without difficulty in a moderately
small space. The. flexibility of the
six cylinder engine and the smooth
action of the disc clutch are sp-
preciatcd by women drivers.
"The outstanding feature, how-
evcrin the demand for the cab is
the noticeable increase in the num-
ber of womeniautomobile owners
and drivers. “’omcn long have been
an important factor in the auto-
mobile industry, frequently having
last say as to what make of car is
purchased; but never before have
they entered the ranks of actual
buyers and users in such numbers.
factor will show its influence in the
There is no question but that this
design of cars in the future.”
The Oldsmobile cab has 3. Fisher-
built body, upholstered either in
striped velour or gray du Pont
fabrikoid. It is mounted on the
standard Oldsmobile chassis with a.

CLEVELAND, May :4—The thou-

June 10, are to be well taken care
of according to Ferd H. Coley, presi-
dent of the Ohio Cleveland Automo-
bile Association. and secretary of the
Cleveland Automobile Club and the
new American Automobile Associa-
tion.
The'problem of finding parking

Though the grounds immediately
surrounding the convention tall will
be closed to parking. plans are afoot
for providing up on the neigh-
boring lake front etween the coun-
try court house and the city hall
for nearly 4,000 cars.
It is expected that any cars that
have to be left out over night will
be watched. A special police squad
will be detailed to the convention
zone. and the Automobile Club op-
erates an anti-theft department.
A manifold service which the
Cleveland Automobile Club ordinar-
ily gives to members and sells to
others will be furnished gratis to
convention visitors. The club, ac-
cording to its officers, is the largest
automobile club in the world oper-
ating "strictly as such and exclusively
in its own county. It has nearly 45,-
000 members. Its extensive suite in
the Hollenden hotel and its addi-
tional headquarters opposite the
convention hall will be open for the
service of the convention. It will
provide convention guests with stick
ers for their cars bearing the cm-
blem and telephone number of the
organization. In case of trouble.
the visiting motorist may telephone
the club. and a repair station will
be notified.
The club has an approx-ct? list of
some 75 service, and repair stations
which are under cash bond to ac-
cept the decision of the club in all
disputes. The club broadcasts by
radio road information and descrip-
tions of stolen cars. It keeps close
watch on the observance by gaso-
line stations of a state law imposing
a. maximum fine of $500 for short
measure. Legal advice is furnished
by a department comprising seven
attorneys.
Four draftsmen and assistant
drattsmcn will make special maps
for the occasion. Local streets will
be marked to guide visitors to spec-
ial points. Information on state
roads will be distributed through the
83 clubs of the state association.
