Big Receiver Checks On 73 Stations

, ,ome liBtcners perhaps have Im
agined that Uncle Sam's radio com
missioners spend their evenings at
home listening to the family re
ceiver for Infractions of the rules.
But the system Is much more ex
act. . An extremely sensitive receiving
stutlon has been completed in the
laboratory of Theodore O. Beiler,
. supervisor of radio for the fifth dis
trict, and Installed In the New
Orleans customs house, to keep ac
curate checks on the 73 broadcasting
Btatlons of the area. t.
- 8. W. Edwards, supervisor of de
velopment and production of the
department of commerce, radio di
vision, was In charge of construction.
At least once each day this hlgh-
- ly specialized receiver is tuned in
to all the stations of Louisiana,
Texas, New Mexico, Arkansas, Okla-
. homa and Mississippi.
' By this test the frequency, modu-
latlon and general operation of each j
station arc determined. It Is pos
sible to measure the frequencies
of any station with an accuracy of
one part in 100,000.
The equipment includes a tuner
with Interchangeable colls capable
of receiving all classes of radio
, signals from 100 to 1600 kilocycles,
and another capable of covering the
bond from 1500 to 30,000 kilocycles.
'. On the customs house roof there
aro five antennae of different types
and sizes. Loops also are used on
occasion.
f-A 30-kllocyclo quartz plate, Vent
at a temperature constant within
one-one hundredth of a degree centi
grade in an Insulated chamber, does
the actual measuring of frequencies.

German Engineer Perfects Method of Covering Ground
With A 'Skin' of Cellulose in Order to Choke Weeds
BERLIN UP) Eradicating weeds
from a field under cultivation may
become an easy, inexpensive matter
with a cellulose spraying device in
vented by Arthur Strelch, Berlin en
gineer. By spraying a field with one part
of cellulose diluted with ten parts
of water, a continuous tough skin
adhering tightly to the ground Is
I produced.
' in is cannot oe aissoivea or
washed away by rain, but it can
bo peeled off the ground easily after
the harvest.
I une cost is esumaiea at one
i fourth to one-half sent per square
1 yard for a coating half a millimeter
thick. . .
Tests have shown that it chokes j
weeds which have weak germinat-1
ing power, ana nence Obviates
weeding and ridging work.
At the same time it Insures a
richer a nd better harvest of the
crop planted, Strelch says, not only
because the nutriment In the
ground becomes available solely for not ' prohibitive or unprofitable In
the useful plants, but also because
moisture and heat absorbed by the
earth are prevented from evaporating
or escaping.
The paper cover thus serves to
store heat and moisture so the tem
perature remains practically uni
form even during the night.
The Idea of killing weeds by
covering them up did not originate
with Strelch, the inventor pointed
out. His spraying process is an
adaptation of a principle first em-,
ployed by an American, Charles E.
Eckart of Honolulu.
Eckart's method of covering the
fields with tough wood paper Is
expensive, Strelch said. For spread
ing tms paper, especially con
structed paper-laying machines pulled
by horses or motors had to be de
vised.
"Over half a million dollars are
expended annually on Hawaii for
this paper covering process," Strelch
said. "Such enormous outlays are
Hawaii, where there are two harvests
a year.
"For general use, however, , this
process is lmpractcable. not only
because of the price, but also owing
to the fact that fastening the paper
to the ground with clips, pegs, sand,
or 8 tones is a tiresome and time
consuming process which, after all,
offers no guarantee that, in the
event of wind or storm, the cover
ing will not tear or be removed en
tirely." Stretch's spraying method, he
says is applicable to all useful
plants except cereals. To the cellu
lose may be added, besides water, any
other substances qecessary as soil
ingredients, such as lime or potash.
For planting seeds or young
plants, holes must be pierced through
the cellulose layer In the same man
ner in which they are now cut into
the paper covering in Hawaii. The
watering of the plants is likewise
done through these holes.

As everybody knows, the flavoi
of coffee varies according to tin
way it is brewed. Especially dis
appointing is tho result whet
coffee stays on tho fire too loii
or is taken off too soon.
Similar unsatisfactory result:
can occur in the roasting of coffee
If the blend is roasted too long 01
not enough there is a noticeabh
difference in flavor between the twt
lots. Even with watchful care sucl
variation is exceedingly difficult t(

large quantities.
Realizing this, Hills Bros, origi
nated and patented a continuous
process which roasts coffee a few
pounds at a time, instead of in bulk
The quantity of coffee passing intc
the roaster does not vary. Th
speed of operation and the tempera
ture remain the same with thi
result that Hills Bros. Coffee is
absolutely uniform and has 1 1
flavor no other coffee has. i
Hills Bros. Coffee never "goeij
