V. Straus & company, for. Novem ber, made public today. t The out standing factors of progress in the ouuaing industry as the yearj closes, are: A November increase! of 26 per cent in 402 cities and towns, which is a complete re versal of the situation last Novem ber, when the country -aa a whole showed a November loss of 13 per cent; a gain this year of 46 per cent in the twenty-five leading cities, only three failing to Teport an increase; a volume of permits in the 402 places of $340,552,424, which is a gain of more than $69. 000,000 over last November; a New York city gain of 83 per cent compared to a heavy loss las year; a continued boom in the south, with an increase of ."2 per. cent, reported in seventy-six cities in the twelve strictly southern states, a general showing of strength in the building material market and with the labor , supply equal to the. demand for men in nearly all trades. Practically all of tho larger cities of the country reported heavy increases for November. Philadelphia had a gain of 118 per cent; Miami 294; Coral Gales, 16"; Chicago, 13 and Detroit, 20. Others in the twenty five city list which had gains were: Cleveland, Boston, Washington, Baltimore, Minneapolis, St. Louis, Milwaukee, Newark, N. J.; Portland. Ore.; In dianapolis, St. Petersburg.- Oak land, Cal.; Rochester, N. Y.; Yon kers, N. Y.; Cincinnati. Allentown, Pa.; and Jacksonville. Fla. Large gains were also reported from the following states: Arkansas, Arizona. Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana, Idaho, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri. Montana. New Jersey. North Carolina, New York, Okla homa, Oregon,' Pennsylvania Rhode Island, South Carolina South Dakota and Texas. C Prediction is Made That 50 Kilowatt Stations Will Sooq Be On Air, "I'm frank to say that I" don't know what broadcasting is coming to." replied SL E. Baldwin.- in rharn rf hrrialmsHn at tha Ai'il- lard Storage Battery company when this question was recently put to him. The Willard company operates the big Cleveland broad casting station. WTAM. "There are hundreds better qualified than I to answer that question and I think their answers would be practically the same 'I don't know'." "We can make rome guesse based on conditions at the present time. For instance, there is little doubt that within a comparatively short time the big broadcasters will be using SO kilowatts or more and the 5 kilowatt station which is at present our so called super power transmitter will be classed as a small station- , "There will also be necessarily but a comparatively small num ber of broadcasters. Necessarily, because the cost of installing and maintaining a 50 or 100 kilowatt transmitter will be prohibitve to all but a very few. "At the recent radio conference 11 IDS IIP IK Til l HIGH RIO POWER SI 1KB 1 OREGON PARENTS Phone 577 a Qum of things were brought out which might indicate where broadcasting is going. It was practically '". agreed that increased power Was a, necessary step la the progres&jof broadcasting. "I Ja my opinion that sooner or later, air the larger stations win Jtni forced to become com mercial broadcasters, many will be forced into chain broadcasting and that larger firms contemplating the erecting of broadcasting sta tions will Instead buy time on one already established. "These, are things well known Tn' broadcasting. To go further and Ktep into the real of further prophecy would be 'foolish. No one knows.'" SALE OF FORDS SETS RECORD 146 J68 Passenger Cars and Trucks Delivered to Customers All records for early winter Ford sales were broken during November when 146,788 passenger cars and trucks were delivered to retail customers in the United States. Th?s is an incrpase of ap proximately 2.r,,000 over the Nov ember sales a year ago. Another evidence of the popu larity of the improved Ford pas senger cars is shown in the en rollments in the Ford weekly purchase plan, which have risen to unprecedented numbers. During November a total of 31,425 per sons enrolled under the plan and began paying oncars, more than twice as many as enrolled during the same month last year. As the holidays approach deli-J veries of cars to customers who have been buying them under the weekly purchase plan are increas ing. Some be pan paying on their automobile as long as a year ago. others during the early spring and summer months, long before the improved Ford types were intro duced. All now benefit in the convenience and comfots afforded by the improved cars and their in creased value, without any addi tional cost. Philippine Soldiers Buy Own Uniforms to Look Neat MANILA. By purchasing their own uniforms rather than wear "the cheap shoddy clothing issued here," Major General Eli A. Hel mlck. inspector general of the United States Army, said the en listed men of this department triad e a good appearance during inspection. General Helmick described the shoddy issue as an oversupply of r?r,d ,lniPS- whioh h said wrre until tor any use accent as worV. fatisw" or field clothing. I'M illustrates the fine Hpirit of the unlisted personnel, both native and American, that they have wil- rlingly gone into their pockets and i pltd for the -material and making tof" good uniforms," said the Gen j eral. "I hope that they will not ,onger hae t0 do th5s and sha11 u" n my power to re more this hardship." General ' Helmick commended the Philippine soldiers of the Philippine Scouts. In the Gen eral's opinion, the Philippine sol dier easily : submits to discipline and when properly trained and led would acquit himself well in. the field. I British Take Steps tO Wipe Off Spot Human Slavery GENEVA. The last spot on the British Empire's map where human slavery still exists is the Hukawng Valley in the upper por tion of the Indian province of Burma. By the next May the em pire, hopes to have removed this last Vestige from the dominions and. colonies directly under its control, and from those bordering it as well. The local potentates have agreed that a fixed price shall be set for each class of slave in the Hukawng valley and once it is fixed the bondsmen in question shall immediately become free and enjoy all the rights and privileges of other freemen.

TO KILL 'BIRDIES' li Fourth Annual Conference Strikes at interference By Radiation By JACK BINNS One of the most important ac tions of the Fourth Annual Ra dio Conference was the step tak en to ultimately stop the manu facture of all types of radio re ceiving apparatus wnicn eause Interference through radiation. This action cames as a direct, re sult of the failure to check the growth of the offending types through the instrumentality of voluntary committees. The interference caused by radiating receivers invariably manifests itself in the form of a peculiar whistle, which, some of our early engineers with a sense of humor, promptly dubbed "The Birdies." Some idea of the damage which one receiver of this type may cause is illustrated in the experi ments recently conducted by Messrs. AV. II. Hoffman, Don Mix, and Philip Zurian at Madison, Wis. In these experiments a sin gle UV. 199 tube successfully communicated with New York, or in other words its effective range of radiation was 1,000 miles. This tube, of course, was used in a set designed for the sole purpose of transmission, but it is a good indication of the de structive possibilities of a radio ating receiver. The experience of the volun tary committees, formed to elim inate interference by educational methods, has shown that the pub lic generally has come to believe that only those sets, frankly made under a regenerative li cense, cause radiation. Another fallacy in the public mind is that a stage of tuned radio frequency ahead of a regenerative detector will prevent radiation, and furth er that tuned radio frequency sets do not radiate. in tne latter respect it is in-. teresting to note that a decision by Federal Judge Campbell in Brooklyn, recently handed down after thorough examination and demonstration clearly states that a tuned radio frequency set equipped with means available to the operator for controlling re generation both below and above the oscillating point or threshold of oscillation is regenerative and therefore employs the feed-back principle. It is a fundamental fact that the feed-back of energy from the plate to the grid of a vacuum tube is necessary to the produc tion of the oscillations which cause radiation. Experiment shows that even in a receiver which has. a completely neutralized stage of radio fre quency ahead of an oscillating detector, radiation will emanate from the coils associated with the detector tube, and cause trouble. None of these are sufficient in themselves to prevent radiation. The receiver employing anyone of them must also have means of neutralizing .such as for in stance the neutrodyne, or the Scott Taggart arrangemnt or else resistaftce for suppressing the ef fects of capacity coupling over the range of the broadcast wave lengths.' Neutralization is the one method which does not inter fere with the efficiency, selectivi ty or sensitivity of the nonradiat ing receiver. fins rfct Awrc ""TV Oily is 1.1 i"-i iv.u w - THE STORM -MODERN HEATING- KCEPSyou i WARM NELSON BROS. 355 Ctiewketa . .
