Trouble From Bad:
Radio Season Soon
Warm Weather Bane to Good
Reception by Wireless
Northern Lights May
Cripple Radio. '
Dcvi't be surprised this summer ii
your radio receiving set gives forth
a nrst-clati imitation of a boiler shop
in full operation instead of an antici
pated lecture on the culture of silk
worms. For the "bad radio weath
er" season is now on. The three
summertime radio imps, called ."sta
tic," "strays" and "atmospherics"
are in evidence from May' to Oc
tober, according to the government
bureau of standards. . Their serious
ness varies from weak interference
for brief intervals to a continuous
succession of boiler shop noises
which may last throughout the night.
Coil Antenna.
One method which the amateur will
find helpful in reducing certain types
ot strays is the use, instead of the
usual elevated antenna, of a coil
antenna and a more sensitive receiv
ing set. A coil antenna may be con
structed by winding a suitable num
ber of ' turns of wire with.' proper
spacing on a square wooden frame
about four feet square. Certain types
of strays seem to come from a par
ticular direction. Many strays", how
ever, have no directional properties,
including those due to local electrical
storms. The coil antenna has the
property of receiving a stronger
signal when pointed in the direction
from which the signal is approaching.
and receiving only a weak signal
when pointed at right angles to that
direction.. Thus, by rotating a coil
antenna to the proper, position, the
directional types of strays - can be
greatly reduced and a better, ratio of
signal strays wilt be obtained.
The ordinary elevated antenna does
not possess marked directional prop
erties and therefore cannot be used
like the coil antenna, for stray elimi
nation. However, the strength of sig
nal picked up by, a toil "antenna and
good results should not be expected
from a coil antenna unless three or
more stages of amplification are used.
Ground Antenna.
Some relief can also be obtained,
declares the bureau of standards, by
persons having good amplifiers by

using a "ground antenna". This it a
long insulated wire run in a shallow
trench or on the surface ' of the
ground. The ground wire should be
run in the direction of the station
from which the most signals are to
be received and should preferably be
several hundred feet long.
In the summer a person mut be
content ..with - weaker signals and
should ue less amplification than in
the winter, since the strays are am

siderable amplification is used, strong.

Romance by Radio
Develops When
Cupid Tunes -In
Oklahoma City, Okl, June 4.
Radio love is the latest development
in wireless telephony. It all began
when .Miss- Dollye .Smithson of
Gaincsv ille. Tex., became enamored
of the voice of Frank Bird of Okla
homa City as it came to her through
scores of miles of ether. Through
the microphone of a radio receiving
set Miss Smithson first heard the
voice of her future husbajid seven
days ago.
Bird, as director of an orchestra
which has been giving radio concerts
here, announced the name of the se
lection. In Gainesville Miss Smithson
heard it.
"I don't know why," she confessed
today, "but right away I fell in love
with that voice..
Came a letter to this city. There
was an answer. .'An exchange of less
tha.n half a dozen missives and Miss
Smithson came to Oklahoma City.
A 'minister sealed the radio ro
mance. '

Hotel Novelty Orchestra to
Gie Concert as Part of
The Bee's Radio
Program.
Another big radio concert has been
arranged by The Bee for Monday
night, when instrumental and vocal
melody will be broadesst from the
Omaha Oram exchange radio sta
tion. WAAW.
The entertainers on 'this occasion
will be Gus Kdwafds Novelty or
chestra, now playing, at Hotel Fon
tenclle. This musical organization
has been heard in many cities.
Through the medium of the power
ful sending station at the Grain ex
change these players will be heard
Monday night throughout the cen
tral west. Owners of radio sets are
advised to tune in Monday night and
enjoy a musical treat. The concert
will be given from 8:15 to 9 p. m.
Special Program.
Mr. Edward, is arranging a special'
program for this event, tie promises
a saxophone quintet,' several orches
tral numbers and several solos. Perry
Kingdom, baritone, will sing. Glenn
Burrs is the saxophone star of the
company. V. M. Cole is trombone
soloist and Faul Seyfert is violinist.
Lillian Johnson presides at the piano,
Percy Homer is cornctist and Mr.
Edwards has the drum.
Radio concerts of The Bee already
have been heard in many cities and
towns of Wisconsin, Minnesota,
South Dakota,' Iowa, Illinois, Kan
sas Missouri. Each concert brings
an increasing number of mail com
munications from persons who list
ened in.
Variety of Numbers.
The concert Monday night prom
ises to be of unusual jntereest be
cause of the variety of the numbers
and also because of the determination
of Gus Edwards and his players to
make the event one that wilt com
mand unusual attention.
$50,000,000 to Be Spent in
New Buildings by Detroit
Detroit, June 3. Fifty million
dollars will be spent in building in
Detroit this spring, Charles E.
Bowen, secretary of the Associated
Building Employers, declares. .
Much of this will be for home
building, he says. The opening of
the year's biggest building season
will also mean a great reduction in
unemployment, with the possibility
that 10,000 men, now unemployed
called into the building trades.
Omaha Grain Exchange Station
Is Most Powerful in Corn Belt
Omaha Baking Firm
Names New Manager
Like a voice out of the darkness
has come the radio to the city folk,
small town, merchant and farmer
scattered far and wide through the
great west. To inform, entertain
and educate is the chief purpose to
which the radio telephone will be put
to ue. The city folk may learn
what is going on in distant parts of
the country almost immediately after
any event of importance occurs; the
small town merchant may learn new
features of commercial conditions
and market reports as quickly as his
brothers in the city and to the farm
er the radio is an invaluable asset.
The world is but a bark yard to him
with a receiving set in his home. Con
ditions of the grain and livestock
markets, important events, advance
weather reports will all come to the
farmer and rancher at various times
during the dav as the matter is
broadcast from distant cities.
Listening in some night on an en
tertaining musical concert following
the sending out of market reports,
radio fans throughout Nebraska and
Iowa, wonder whenc' comes ' the
"voice in the darkness" .that is liter
ally picked from the ether.
Daily Program!.
With receivers clamped to their
heads, the invisible listeners scat
tered throughout the middle-west
take in the daily programs with joy.
They wonder at the source of the
market reports, music and speeches
that come from Omaha. They are
amazed when they hear these words
as clearly as over a telephone.
"This is the Omaha Grain Ex
change talking Station WAAW; we
will now let you tune in on a little
music and then we'll give you the
latest market reports from Chicago,
Kansas City, St. Louis and Omaha."
And the invisible audiences listen
in to get the latest dope. The farm
er learns immediately what price he
can get for his corn, wheat and live
stock; rather than wait probably two
days for the market prices on his
products to reach him by mail.
Aid to Fanners.
When complaint reached the di
rectors of the Omaha Grain Ex
change months ago that formers
were getting the markets t"too late,"
C. H. Wright, president, appointed
a committee to determine what ac
tion might be taken to aid the farmer
in learning the latest market dope.
Frank Taylor and C. Vincent
made, up the committee that' investi
gated ways and means of remedying
this condition. The radiophone was
little heard of then as a practical de
vice in this part of the country. Mr.
Taylor chanced to listen in on a pow.
erful receiving set in Omaha one
night and was amazed to hear Pitts
burgh sending out market reports as
clearly as over f le epbone voice. The
idea was forth r .cl, sold to him.
"Eureka P he exclaimed.
Directora Act.
At the next meeting of the board
of directors of the Omaha Grain Ex
change, Meors. Taylor. Vincent nd
Carl Hempill laid a plan before the
gathering of installing a radio broad
casting station in the Grain Ex
change for the benefit of the farmer.
The -directors recommended that the
idea be tried. A small set capable of
transmitting for 1IN) miles was in
stalled and operated so successfully
that the directors of the exchange
voted to purchane a net that would
be heard for I.IXK) niilcn. In a small
room on the seventh floor of the
grain exchange there now sits a ISO
watt broadcasting set. Station
WAAW. that operates five times
daily and once every night. The et
has seven'SO-watt vacuum tuhes. The
following is the schedule of Station
WAAW:
. a. m. Market repmla.
U a, in Weaihrr and market re
pine .
IS.SS a, rn Late market report, from
Chi. an. Si. Lnula and Kanaaa City.
11:41 a. m. Stark. t rpori.
p: m Market r.pnrte.
:oo p. m. Market rtporta and con
cert. Early Reports.
Letters from several slates in the
middle-west attest to the capability
of Station WAAW in sending out re
ports and concerts. Directors of the
grain exchange expressed a desire
that every farmer, rancher and small
town merchant install a receivinsr set
in their home's to take advantage of
the broadcasting of news, market re
ports and concerts.
With the system now in vogue at
Station WAAW, the farmer is able
to learn i market conditions just as
soon as the man in the pit, and the
members of the Omaha Grain Ex
change feel that the novel system of
transmitting these reports is an in
valuable aid to the agricultural inter
ests of the middle-west.
