Survey Shows Increase of
26 Per Cent in 402 Cities
Checked
Indications of unusnal mid
winter activity In the building in
dustry are disclosed by the nation
al monthly building survey of fe.
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

"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

a Qum of things were brought
out which might indicate where

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

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.

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.
