One of the most Interesting
to fires and personalities of the
Fisher Body Hour will come to the
radio audience when Miss Flexer
la heard. Although born only 23
years ago at Allentown. penn..
she has already achieved distinc
tion and recognition at the Metro
politan by her youth, beauty and
charm and by the velvet, sympa
thetic quality of her contralto
voice.
Another Metropolitan singer of
youth, beauty and unusual voice
is Louise Lerch, soprano, who al
so origlaated in Pennsylvania, re
ceiving her instruction under Ma-J
dame Sembrich at the Curtis In
stitute and achieving musical fame
with her appearance on the Me
tropolitan atage last fall.
The program, to be heard over

National Broadcasting company in

The human brain t work makes sound something like the
patter of rain on a tin roof. Dr. Lee E. Travis, University of Iowa,
has found. Experiments have made possible reproductions of these
sounds, which are to be broadcast by WSUI soon. The photograph
shows Dr. Travis manipulating his equipment.
IOWA CITY, la. (AP) Radio
sets tuned In on WSUI April IS,
will pick up a rat-a-tat sound
something like the patter of rain
on a roof.
The sound will be that of a hu
ms nbrain at work.
Dr. Lee E. Travis, University of
Iowa psychiatrist, and Theodore
Hunter, his techniiian, will con
duct the experiment from their
laboratory. They say they will
broadcast brain waves as repre
sented by nerve Impulses sent to
the muscles.
For three years, they have been
developing an apparatus which
would make possible the expert
ment. It is complete now.
By electrical contact wires.
wnen ine suDjeet s muscles are
contracted, the mipulses will be
"picked up." amplified and broad
cast as electrical waves. The
sound, says Dr. Travis, is like that
of rain on a tin roof.
Study of the impulses indicates
the effect of stuttering, mental"
and physical disease, fear, excite
ment, and alcohol on nerve centers.
The London tailors are said to
be greatly agitated because the
Prince of Wales the other day
wore trousers turned up, with a
morning coat. Up to the time of
going to press, however, the mat
ter has not been referred to he
League ot Nations.

An adapter making any broadcast receiver a short wave outfit,
may be' built with one tube, acting as oscillator and first detector.
The. tuned radio frequency section of the broadcast set then becomes
h "long wave amplifier. The diagram shows the necessary con-
ne t Ions for the adapter.
( Aisociatt-d Proaa Rail's Editor)
XKW YORK. (AF) Any tuned
radio frequency broadcast receiver
may be made into a short wave
st without affecting its efficiency
on 2d0 to 560 meters.
By the addition of a one tube
she t wave adapter, which acts as
both the firste detector and oscil
lator of a superheterodyne, the re
ceiver become an excellent outfit
to bring in stations below 200 Me
ters. The tuned RF section then
Is the intermediate amplifier.
while the regular detector acts as
the second rectifier, and passes the
sienals on to the audio amplifier.
Not a thing is touched in the re
ceiver, except that the antenna
and ground are removed from It
to the "adapter." The short wave
" section is coupled to it by a small
coil nlaced near the first coil in
the set.
Three coils are necessary for
th. unit. The antenna pickup con
sists of a primary and secondary,
while the oscillator coil has a grid
section tapped exactly in the cen
ter and a fixed tickler. The re
maining coil is that used to couple
the outfit to the receiver, and need

lengths. Its leads should be long
enough to reach from the adapter
to the receiver.
Tb coils should be three inches
in diameter, except the coupler
whose dimension depends on the
sixe of the first coil in the receiver
proper. It should contain not more
than four turns if of the three
inch size, and a few more if of a
smaller diameter.
Approximate sizes of coils for
1 various wavelengths are:
Secondary
and Grid
Coils Tickler Coll
Turns Turns Wavelength
24 12 85 to 273
10 6 40 to 126
5 3 11 to 35
The primary of the antenna coil
has three turns for the various
wavelengths, while its secondary
varies with the wavelength to
which It is desired to tune.
The oscillator coil must be cen
ter tapped. The tickler is wound
half inch away on the same form
with the grid section. In the grid
return lead Is placed a variable re
sistance with a maximum of 750,
000 ohms. This Is used to regulate
the oscillator tube. It should be
of a noisless type and should be
placed on the panel, as It must be
readjusted every time the coils are
witched.
The adapter Is placed into op
tion eratlon by putting the coup
ling coil on top ot the first RF
coil in the set. Dials on the main
receiver are turned to 100. A
high pitched whistle probably will
be heard first. This Is placed un
der control by adjusting the 750,
$00 ohm resistance until It disap
pears. Tuning then Is done on the
two controls on the adapter. How
ever, a slight adjustment on the
dials on the receiver may he nec
essary so that each stage will be

Hall Johnson and his famous
Southern singers will go on the
air for the first time when, on
April 16, they supply the enter
tainment for the General Motors
family party, at Which frigidaire
will be the host.
While this organization of Jubi
lee Singers is well know through
their phonograph records and con
certs, the plantation program
which they will broadcast Monday
night will mark their first ap
pearance before the radio audi
ence. " j
Hall Johnson, the conductor of
this chorus, Is a musician and;
composer of thorough and sound
training, who for a period of two
years has been developing and
perfecting this ensemble. His six
teen negro singers are said to
represent every one of the south
ern states.
In one New York City concert
by the Hall Johnson Singers there
were gathered in the audience
such noted musicians and critics
as Feodor Chaliapin, Dr. Walteri
Damrosch, George Gershwin, Eu
gene Goossens, Henry Hadley,
Paul Kochanski, Maurice Ravel,
Carlos Salzedo, Felix Salmond, B.
Robert Schmitz. Joseph Szigetl.
Deems Taylor and Edgar Varese.
These men were so impressed by
the importance of Johnson's must
cal contribution that they volun
tarily suggested that their names
be used as endorsers.
An effort has been made In ar
ranging the radio program to se
lect from the vast mass of ma
terial a sufficient variety ot mood
properly to present the attitude
of the negro toward spirituals and
folk song, which with the colored
race ranges-from the moat pro
found sorrow to the greatest joy.
The selections by the concert
orchestra under the direction of
Roderlc Graham, and the Goldman
Band, with Edwin Franko Gold
man conducting, will be In har
mony with the general southern
tone of the concert.
The program, to be broadcast
through the National Broadcasting
Company and thirty-one stations,
follows:
