SIX MOrtNINC ftEClSTEft, EOCENE. OttE., SUNDAY, DECEMBER tt, IMS Radio Drama Now Will Make IU Debut League of America Announces Content to Develop Mod irn ) Molhods of Presenting l'lny During Drama Week. USES PITCHFORK AS FIDDLE FOR RADIO FARM CONCERTS ' For the purpose it securing bet tor mil 1 11 program tho firm na tional rnillo play content ever held hail been launched through the joint effort of the drama Iciikuo ot America and W1.S ChlcnRO. The announcement of Ibid natlon-wldo content to find the heat radio play was made by Georite Junkln, t.v'1.1 ecrotary of tho drama league, who la chairman of the contest ooinmittee. To the victor In the contest will be Riven 1500 In cash nnd a silver loxing cup. A second prise of $200 will bo awarded to the runner-up and for the third best $100 will be Riven. Any man, woman, or child In the Unitod States la ollKlblo to submit manuscripts of plays. Tho .oontent will be conducted under tho auspices of the drama league. AU manuscripts must bo received on or before February 1. 1926. Plana to Broadcast As soon as the best play has been selected by a committee chosen by tho drama league, prep arations will be made to produce the prlse-wlnnlng play, to be broadcast from YIX3 and many other stations of the country by a special company under the di rection of tho league. The re hearsals will be so timed that the play will be pnoduced for the benefit of the air audience during national drama week. February 14 to SO. In announcing the plans of the contest, Junkln declared that radio play production would present a new art, requiring a new kind of presentation of the drama and a 'new art of writing It. Nov Art FWrms "Radio will not allow any sly atngo business," said Junkln. 'Glance, asides and business with props cannot be put over, to th radio audience. Entrances nnd exits must In some way be told In the action of the iilay. Just as the movies, brought about the new 'drama and a new way of present ing H. so will radio. Sounds will . be the prlnciiml vehicle. Bells of I all sorts, church, dinner, telephone, j bouBe and others can be used to advantage. Rain, storms, musi cal back grounds, horse, airplanes, automobiles, all have sounds which "can be duplicated and will lend ltfe to the words and action of ,the tadlo play. "Just as the movies have de veloped from the old-time chase, the presentation of fire depart ments In action and people shown merely walking and riding, to the presentation of the very best in drama, so radio must take on an 'Other and more permanent form Of presentation It it is to be ex panded and live in the popularity of the greatest audience in the world." te? wmmmm f Radio Programs Today : 3 Best Features Thraokhoet the Country Tools he Sunday, December 28. 19JS 18:00 m.

TMs he demonstrates to tho radio audiences over WLS, tho Scars Roeoock Agricultural Foundation. Mr. Sluie achieved a reputation piaylng his "Pitchfork Violin" for country dances, fanners' meetings and community assemblages in Wisconsin, so lit was induced to come to Chicago and give concerts to the WLS farm listeners with this unique musical Instrument, which he made himself from an ordinary throe tine fork. Around the middle of the handle ho built a box 10 by 13 Inches. The back Is made of birch and the top and sides of dr. In the and of the fork handle Is a slot about two inches deep and fastened at the outside of the slot Is a guitar tuning key. He uses a violin bridge and the one string of the Instrument la a steel "B" of a guitar. It Is played with a regular violin bow. He produces different tones by sliding a piece of wood up and down tho string. Tho steel tines of the pitchfork give a great deal of vibration, tone quality and Tolonie. Condensers Have an Important Role in Building of Radio Sets : - Here la some valuable Informa tion on condensers for any one who is building a super-heterodyne. Condenser resistance may consist or several components. The insulation resistance of a good condonser should be very hisrh, and a good condenser ordinarily has an insulation resistance of several hundred megohms (mil lions of ohms). Any condenser, no matter how well made, has a certain amount of what is termed "effective resistance," which is caused by the material used as a dielectric or insulator, and by the resistance of the metal used for the plates. Condensers having copper plates will have lower ef fective resistance than those using a very thin grado of tinfoil. As the capacity of the condenser has a resisting action on alternate lng current of any frequency, this restotanco of called reactance. The- larger the capacity, the smaller tho reactance at any given frequency,- so that a relatively Rmnll rnndpntp (a rnnnlroil tA present a reactance of a few ' ohms at 1,000,000 cycles, whereas to present the same reactance at 100 cycles, the condenser must be many times larger. A condenrer having a high ef fective resistance, no matter how accurate the capacity and how high the Insulation, is go.ng to be poor conaenner when used to bypass alternating currents, as It will act the same as a perfect condenser having no effective re sistance, In series with a. d. c. non lnritlftlve ' rmlntnuiv. unrl fha amount of current which will passj inrougn me condenser win be verv 1 much less than that which would pass through a high grade con-' denser havinc littlo effective resistance. There's Proper Way to I Adjust the Headphone 4 A radio fan who la also a close o'bsorvor told recently of an eve ning he had spent at the home of a friend where various members of the household took turns In using the .headphones and "listen ing In." All ot them, he said, at one time or another, complained that their heads hurt after they had been listening in for some time. He watched carofully and noted that sometimes these per sons would listen throughout the . t natnrl wlttinltt OOmnllllnt. Then again, after their turn, they would. complain. Ho came to tho ..i.... ..... ik.i ilm nnln wsl caused by the way tho llstcncrs-ln wore mo neaapntinca. ' it. :.. .1 ...... .1 .. V. mnmhnp nf the party to mike careful adjustment of the headbands, position of the at the sides of the head. etc.. and from then no more trouble was ex lcrlenced. This experience' la passed on for the benefit of those listening In on the headphones equally to listening to the notes of the loud speaker. f Mcasurim? Current The unit of quantity of electric ity is the coulomb. The rate of flow of electricKy Is the quantity that pasres a given point i? a given length of time. If one coulomb passes the given point in one sec ond it Is called one nmpcrc, and this !s tho rate of flow. . , IV r X J JOB Angview o 10:00 a. m. Services. : 4:00 p. m. Vesper services. 6:30 p. m.
