of Sue's brown eyes. '“Oh.' I for-

adorable all other ways that I for-

The subject was dropped for the
time being. but Lelia's assertion
that Jim should be cured occurred
to Sue later and she pondered just
what drastic means she could em~

reform.
She Wondered if brother William.

Jim—tall. broad-shouldered, clean-

"0h, you'll want to." said Sue
airily. “you need a change also. It
will only be for a couple of weeks."
“Well——" said Jim. "I had
thought perhaps we'd do a little
house hunting and furniture buying,
but if you'd rather—"
"I need quiet," pleaded Sue
warlly, although inwardly feeling
' decidedly guilty. And when the day
of departure arrived she found it
necessary to remind herself that she
had Jim's interest at heart. But his

intended departure for home. ‘ The
time was short and William daily
neglected his hardware affairs to
work up a creditable team. Jim
tagged along also. and to Sue's'
pleased surprise seemed always as
ready as William to get down to the
field.
But not until the day of the game
itself did any word of football pass
between Sue and Jim. Then, “I'd
like." she said hesitatingly, “to go
to the game this afternoon. if you
could find something to occupy
you."
"Go to the units? Something to
occupy me?" echoed Jim blankly.
"Of course. you're going to the
game. I'm only sorry I can't'sit
with you. but your brother has
asked me to bathe timekeeper. It’s:
a great game. Sue; Wonderful!"
Some months-later Sue met Lelia
and in the course of conversation
football was mentioned. '
“I hear," said Leila. “that Jim has
become an ardent motor. I suppose
you are delighted." . .
“Well—maybe," sighed Sue. Then.
went on to explain: "You see. I'

AVE you been able to enter sta-
tion WJAZ. Chicago, on your.
radio log? If so. you have
come into direct touch with one of
“tenant/interesting of the new radio
developments—ins powerful portable
broadcasting elation. ,
WJAZ travels on a motor truck.
It can be moved swiftly and easily
to any place where there is an event
to be sent out to you through the
ether. yet it is entirely self-suffi-
cient. In other words, it can be set
up in the middle of a field and oper-
ated indefinitely without any power
supply other than its own batteries.
and without any supports other than
its own antenna mast. v
Such independence of operation is
made possible by the fact that the
truck is equipped with a gas engine
generator charging outfit. This is
able to charge the batteries while
the station is in broadcasting opera-
tion. 1 '
The power of the transmitting set
is 100.watts. The wavelength is 268
meters. The apparatus is mounted
in a cabinet equipped with glass
sides. allowing observation of the in-
terior of the set. which is illuminated
.by electric lights.
Another remarkable portable eta;-
tion is WTAT. which usually oper-
ates in the neighborhood of Boston;
uses. but can operate anywhere.
This station. too‘. travels by motor.

In" such emergency ‘the station is
used to mobilise equipment and men

WTAT has been: heard as “far

_
Equally efficient is a third'portable
station which begardi operations a
or a Class A.
license to the Radio Corporation of
America. Its call letters are WEBL.
and its wavelength is 226. meters.
This station. with too Watts power.

THE RADIO PRIMER
One’Dally Fact. For Liston“!
Directional Antennas are antennas
that receive radio signals front one
direction. or from a limited number
of directions. better than they do
from other directions. For example.
it is possible to'conetruct an antenna
system that~ will receive signals
from a. selected direction. say from
the north. more than twenty times
as sensitively as when the signal
comes from some other point of the
compass.
Almost any antenna. even the
simplest tingle wire a hundred or so
feet long..-haa to some degree a
directional property. Reception Will
be i. little better from aortic dim-
t‘lons than from others. C But with
the familiar. single-wire or wire-
cage antennas this directional effect
is very slight. For practical pur-
poses such antennas receive the
signals from any station that is close
enough and strongg enough. no mat-
ter what its direction.
Loop antennas, on the other hand.
are . distinctly . directional. They
have to be turned with one edge of
the loop toward the station that. is
to be.received in‘ order to get the
strongest reception, If the hat of
the loop is turned toward the sp-
proaching waves nceptIOn may still
be possible. but it will be much
weaker. ' ’
.The loop is directional. M notice.
in two directions: that is in the
directions of 1the two edges o! the
loop. Itris pusible to build special
loops and combinations of loop an-
tennas and other-antennas that are p
enoughjna strong enough. no mat-
ter what its direction.
