NOTEER step has been taken
A toward the increased use of
the vet? short radio woven——
those shorter than 100 meters. The
Department of Commerce. which
regulates the conditions under which
radio may be used in the United
States. has thrown open wave-
lengths in this range of the very
short waves. ' 7
The bands made available for
amateur experimentation are: 75
to 80 meters, 40 to 43 meters. 20
to 22 meters, and‘ 4 to 5 meters.
Amateurs will still have the use
of the hand between 150 and 200
mcters. now assigned to them.
The use of these short waves in
amateur experimentation is sure to
give a. great impetus to the develop-
ment of apparatus that will send
and receive these waves edicientiy
and with ease. I have been predict-
ing for two years that we would be
making regular use before long of
the waves around 20 to 50 meters.
It looks as though this prediction
might come true sooner than any
one ever had believed. '
The advantage of the short waves
is: the larger number of nona‘inter-
faring wavelengths that they pro-
vide. Long waves that are only a
meter sport are so close that one
rannot tune to them separately.
The}: interfere, But when the wave-
length itself is short, a change of
une meter makes a. tremendous per-
centage difference in it, and the
waves do not interfere.
For example. the interval between
4 meters and 5 meters provides
room for more than a thousand
separate broadcasters to operate
simultaneously without interference,
while between 400 meters and 500
meters there is room for only about
fifteen separatg stations.
Short wave receivers may he use-
ful to radio fans for receiving even
tho present broadcasting stations.
Must of the broadcasting stations
transmit, in addition to their main
ways as given in the lists. what are
caller} harmonics of this wave. IThis
means Waves that have. rospcch
ivnl}. one-half the wavelength of
the. main wave, one—third of this
wavelength. one-fourth of this wave-
length, and so on. For example, a
station W on 360 motor-
will probably be sending out stthe
same time o. wave of 180 meters. so-
other of 120 meters. 9.

It l,fl-equeutly happens that these
harmonics are clearer than the
main wave. If you build yourself
a shortcwch receiveryou may be
able to pick up your favorite station
even better on these short waves
than you do now.

THE RADIO PRIMER
One Daily Fee! for Lls‘snees'
Feding‘ is radio slang for a very
annoying thing that happens more
or less frequently to the broadcast
program that you are listening to in
s receiving set. The program seems
to vary in intensity. At more or
less regular intervals it fades away
almost to nothing; then. after a
moment, itflncrmes again to its
original strength.
Many radio engineers have puz-
zled their heads over the cause of
this curious phenomenon. At least
a dozen theories have been sug-
gested. But nowadays most en-
gineers believe that the cause is to
be sought in sbme peculiarity of
the Heaviside Layer that we de-
scribed in the Primer recently.
layer of very rarifled air at almost
the top limit of our atmosphere.
two hundred or three hundred miles
above the ground. It is supposed to
be a conductor of electricity. as
though We had a great wire netting
up there. And it is believed that
this conducting‘layer operates. in
some way. to facilitate the travel of
radio waves around the earth.
fading is due to occasional interrup-
tions of the helping action of this
Heaviside Layer. Maybe the Layer
is not absolutely uniform and con-
tinuous. It has been suggested that
it is composed of 9 rate conduct—
ing clouds of some k nd. -'I'his means
that its action in assisting the radio
waves may be intermittent and this
may be cause of the i‘ntermittance
of signal strength that we call
fading.

AULINE GRANGER and Rod-
man Hughes were “amour 3
those present" at tee that after-
noon at Doris Blake's. ,
"There's Pauline‘ Granger.” sane-
ono was telling Rodman at one.end
of the spacious living-room. “Will-
iam H. Granger‘s daughter—loads of
moneY—yOu know! Granger's soaps

“The girl with the reddish hair
and the unbecoming browu dress?"
"Yes." agreed his informer. “Is
ihe'dress unbecoming? It probably
cost enough. Want to meet her?"
"N'ot if I don't have to,” said Rod-
man. and after that he looked
through his artist‘s eyes once or
twice at Pauline, to try to discover
Just why ‘the brown frock in ques-
tion was so unbecoming. Quite im-
personally he decided that the girl
was not in the least had looking. It
would be - ‘ilcr interesting to de-
sign a gown that would make her
really beautiful.
"Who is-that young man?" mul—
ine asked her hostess a little later.
"He'd be rather nice to look at if he
had a good tailor."
"Why. that's Badman Hughes.
Maybe you‘ve heard of him. An
artist—docs portraits. ‘Iie's been
quite successful with ancestors

types or dnguerreotypes or sketches

“They do me little good." laughed
Badman. “save with their portraits.
I have quite a. collection of them
and by studying those old portraits
I have been able to make pretty
good imitations. I believe I'm de-
scended from a French king and
there’s In English king somewhere
along the line. But that’s nothing
to boost of." .
”Still,” said Pauline unai‘fectedly.
"I’d love to have ancestors like that.
Think how they‘d look on the wall!”
Rodmsn laughed and Pauline looked
over her ‘paihetic little packet of
pictures. "My poor little ancestors
look pretty small after yours. Still
I'm not ashamed of them and I
think they'd appreciate what I'm

Paulinn arranged to rail at hisI

So before be quite realized what
he was doing Rodmnn told her of

He knew he

Pauline produced several funny

is my mother's grandmother and

A loss inspired portrsiiist than
Rodmzm Hughes might have seen
precious little material for paintings
in these little pictures. .
"Of course, I'd want you to give
them considerably more tone." said
Pauline frankly. "and of course the

gravely. “In the meantime I'd like

"You silly man." said Pauline.
"I've been so afraid you wouldn’t
