A RADIO HOT OFF . ' COLUMN By THOMAS ELWAY ' An automatic radio receiving sta- tion that rings a bell to summon the operator when the station is called lathe recent invention of Lewis M. Clement, formerly a ship wireless operator. His apparatus, based on the use of standard train—dispatch-- ing equipment in connection with a radio telephone. is said to make it possible to call any one of seventy- eight stations. He hopes to extend the system so that 200 stations may be signaled individually. The trans- mitting operator. by turning a key for a particular station. can send out impulses that operate selector switches at the receiving instru- ment. These switches operate to ring the bell only when a certain combination of impulses is sent out. A number of telephone subscrib- ers in New. York City were sur- prised not long ago when. as they were attempting to carry on tele- phone conversations. they heard over the wires a perfect miniature of the radio program being broad— cast by station VVEAF of the Amer- ican Telephone and Telegraph Com- ' pany. Since the WEAF program was being carried by special cable from . a remote studio to the transmitting station, it was suggested that the unusual phenomenon was caused by ‘the old-time wire bugbear of induc- ‘ lion. Telephone company oflicials are reported to have explained that while induction trouble had been guarded against, the voices of radio over telephone lines might have been caused by a short circuit. Subscribers said that the program was heard in clear. but low under- tone. somewhat like the "cross talk" caused by induction in regular telephone cables, _ ‘ The United states Naval Institute has Just announced that the sixth 2dition of “Robinson's Manual oi Radio Telegraphy and Telephony" is off the press. and that copies .nay be obtained from the institute it Annapolis. Md. This manual has can used as one of the standard .extbooks of the United States Navy since 1907. The new edition is many times ‘arger than previous ones. contain- ng 900 pages of. information on modern radio apparatus. treated theory of radio. detailed description struments. and useful information. The first Danish amateur to establish communication with an American station was heard the other night by D. C. S. Comstock. an amateur operator of East Hart— ford. Conn. The message was for the American Radio Relay League and said: “Greetings from the first Danish amateur across." country where‘ amateurs have com- municated with operators in North America. When you build a set. remember that the scraps of wire left over are worth saving. You will find that they come in handy when a new set or hookup is tried out. Simply place them in a cardboard box and put them away for future use. nmasaomlpamumk ONE DAILY FACT FOR LISTENERS Flickering—Among the various causes of noises in radio recep- tion. flickering of the tube fila- . ments is one that is all too fre- quently overlooked. Very often it is the. result of poor contact between the springs of the tops socket and the contact prongs of .5 the tube. In sockets fitted with sidevwipe springs. this particular form pf trouble is obviated. but in the large number of bottom contact sockets it is prevalent. One remedy is to file the solder at the bottom of the prongs. or to remove the accum- ulated dirt that is interfering with the steady flow of current. This is only’a temporary remedy, for the contact becomes dirty again before very long. Filing. too. is likelyto loosen the fragile wire leading to the interior of the tube. ' [One suggestion for remedying the dimculty is to fit a snug “shoe" of brass over. the prong“ of the tube. The top part. espe- cially. must fit very tightly. for this is the point of contact through which the current flows. from both a practical and-theoretic standpoint.

Fuchsia. the shade that'is now frouuemly chosen by fashionable women when they want to wear a frock of the reddish order. might be described as a purple with red pre- dominating. or a red with a purplish cost. To many persons it is not especially becoming. but always it is a stimulating. arresting color to behold. interestingly enough colors that bear the cachet of real mart— ness in this generation very seldom are very becoming. Mustard color that ruled fashion quite a number of years ago was really becoming to about one woman in a thousand. jade green is seldom so becoming as sage or a. deep leaf green. peri- winlrle or pervenche blue is less bo- oorning than sky blue or msdonna blue. Yet mustard. jade and peri- winkio hive been “atrial-t.” Fuchsia appears to best ad- vantage when. somehow or other, it h worked into what Margaret Story would call a “self-harmony.“ Al example of this. she gives us nil. light red and dark red. Thus a fuchsia velvet gown is worn with a rose on the shoulder shading from deep fuchsia to pink. and the neck- lace worn with the gown consists of a string of pink pearls. The writer just quoted bids us remem- ber that in such schemes. "the color of the wearer is considered as one of the colors of the scheme.” Such bola; the case the woman who wants to wear fuchsia and pink S. wt of such l "degrade” scheme --for the Mach word "degrade" seems to signify no more nor less than a “oeK-hamonf—should take care that her cheeks and lips pre- sent the color of the same range. To use the orange’ ~red lipstick con- sidered smart by some women a few was ago would be a mistake. To keep the harmony perfect there should be little or no suggestion of yellow in the cheeks or lips—end the flesh-colored stockings should be of clear. not salmon. pink. Mhomum ~ "’1”. ._ _. ”K ’ .
