lit does not Zenith build
a radio receiver to sell
for less than 1100.00?
ZENITH has the laboratory
the engineers, the organisa
tion and the financial re
sources to build any kind of
radio. Then why not'go below
the 1100.00 priceT . .
TUB Answer is that the Zen
ith standard of quality can
not be built into a receiver
of lower price. Zenith will not
put Us name to a receiver that
is not hlchly selectire, power
ful, faithful to the entire tone
cala and wrought with surpass
ing skill and durability. -
PERFORMANCE comes first
in Zenith- there is no com
promise. The S-tube set
has six working tubes instead
of five working tubes and one
balancing - tube. Instead of
three condensers the -tubeset
has. four the 8 .and 10-tube
sets hare tire and six condens
ers "cspectirely. .;'":is -
IN every detail the same ex
acting standards are carried
:ouk.. Zenith costs more but
it does more. Hear Zenith and
you will agree that Zenith la
unsurpassed.

In the United States, Canada and

has not created a serious problem.
Reasons are the availability of the

for broadcasting' to the public, but!
as an adreBsed message to the Bri

Here, is often responsible for poor
reception or 'fading. -Jl, -
r Dr.- ii.' W. -Austln, of the Bur
eau of Standards, who is making
a special study of phenomena, says
there Is" a relationship between
solar activity and radio waves, but
scientists have discovered no good
means of measuring these effects.
' "While the observation work
thus far must be considered to be
in the preliminary stage., it seems
probable that, the relations of so
lar activity and radio phenomena
will be found to be. as .worthy of
study as those of solar activity and
terrestrial magnetism,", said Dr.
Austin. . . . . . . ..
"The most severe magnetic
storm ' of Uhe year was ' recorded
at the magnetic observatory of the
United States Coast and Geodetic
Survey at Cheltenham, Md.,- Oct.
12. It was reported as generally
a bad night for radio reception.
Signals were very weak and . faded
out. Amateurs were able to hear
only a few short -wave stations.
The signals of the moderative
wave European stations, however,
came in with great strength.
"The conectlon . of magnetic
storms with radio was first defi
nitely established by Espenchied.
Anderson and Bailey in the work
of the Bell Telephone, company in
preparation for the establishment
of a trans-Atlantic telephone ser
vice. They found that -magnetic
storms - greatly decreased the
strength of night - signals and
slightly increased the daylight
strength. This effect , was more
pronounced at a-wave length of
6,000 than at 17,000 meters. Since
terrestrial magnetism is known to
be closely Connected with solar
activity, a -similar connection with
solar activity was to be expected.
Dr. Pickward in a recent paper
has shown that such a relation
ship exists. . '
"We aw Just touched the sur
face in the studf of these phenom
ena," Dr Austin concluded. .
WASHINGTON (AP) rThe fed
eral radio commission has receiv

id growth of stations broadcasting

Reduction of the power of Sta
tion WOQ, operated by the Unity
School of" Christianity at Kansas

WKBW, Buffalo, operated by the
Churchill Evangelistic Association,
WHAP, New York; operated by the
Jesuits, and RXDS, Independence.

' A suggested solution of ' the
problem - is that . the - commission
set aside special channels for the
use - of - religious broadcasting.
Since these stations generally
broadcast over only a few periods
in. the week, it is believed that a
satisfactory -arrangement-'- could
thus be made.
