THE TILLAMOOK HEADLIGHT
The high frequency current is known
as the carrier wave and its function
, to rad.ate into space in the form of
electro magnetic waves and by its va
riation in amplitude carry with it the
variation in the tone at the transmit
ting station.
It is the frequency of the currier
wave that determines »he wave-length
on which a radiophone station is trans
mitted. By experiment It
it lies
has been
found that electro-magnetic waves
truvel at the same velocity that light
waves travel, that is, ISC 000 miles per
second. Wave-length is the distance
between any two sin:!’. ■ points on two
successive waves; for example, the dis
tance from crest to crest of any two
successive waves in the same direction,
measured in meters, a unit of length
equal approximately to one and one-
tenth yards. Converting 180,000 miles
to meters, the equivalent Is 300.000.000
meters. The length of an electro-mag
netic wave is equal then to 300.0iM),000
divided by the frequency. Suppose a
station was transmitting on a wave
length of 360 meters. The frequency
of the carrier-wave would be approxi
mately 835,000 cycles.
Just as a violinist tunes his instru
ment, that is, makes a certain string
euiit a note of higher or lower pitch,
or, technically speaking, a sound wave
of higher or lower frequency, by ad
justing the tension on the string, so
may the electrical constants of the
antenna circuit of a radiophone trans
mitter be changed In order to have
the station emit a carrier-wave of a
different frequency.
If a tuning fork havlng a natural
period corresponding to middle C be
placed near a violinist who is playing,
the fork will vibrate when the musi
cian plays middle C, but all other times
it will remain quiescent. This phenom
enon of the tuning fork vibHating
whenever the musician plays the cor
responding note on the violin is known
as mechanical resonance. If a radio
receiver be adjusted so that electrically
its natural period of vibration will be
835,000 cycles (360 meters wave
length) every time a station transmits
on a wave-length of 360 meters, cur
rent will be set up In the receiver by
THINGS BEGINNERS
MUST LEARN FIRST
Explanation of Terms Used in
Radio and of Its Basic
Principles.
Due to the great Interest taken in ra-
dio since broadcasting stations have
been started, many radio terms are
seen and heard that may be unfamiliar
to the novice. Some of the most com
monly used terms are explained und
defined below.
Like light, heat and sound, radio
energy is propagated in the form of a
wave motion. Every one Is familiar
with the wave motion set up on the
surface of a still body of water by the
dropping of a stone into it.
Every time a point on the surface
of the waves goes through a complete
set of motions and starts to repeat
those motions the wave is said to have
gone through a cycle.
The number of complete cycles gone
through per second is the frequency.
The human ear is responsive to
sound frequencies up to a few thousand
cycles per second but is not capable of
responding to the higher frequencies
encountered in radio. Arbitrarily a
frequency of less than 10.000 cycles
has been called an audible frequency
—one which can be heard—and fret
quencles above 10,000 cycles, radio or
inaudible frequencies—because they
cannot be heard by the human ear.
The particular type of wave which
propagates radio energy is an electro
magnetic wave. All of us have seen
bits of Iron and steel attracted by the
little toy magnets made up in the form
of horseshoes. This attraction of the
x magnet for the bits of iron and steel

Adjutnat General Geo. A. White,
head of the National Guard of Ore
gon and who has announced him
self as a candidate for election to
the position of governor at the com
ing primaries, is not a man of
words, believing rather in action.
Those who heard him speak at the
meeting Friday night were impress
ed with the unassuming but serious
way with which he treated his sub
ject; and he certainly did not ap
pear to be the trained j politician
that is usually expected to > be after
the governor’s chair.
In brief Colonel White’s platform
is as follows: Less state expendi-
ture; consolidation of commissions;
immediate plans for retiring state’s
indebtedness; control Japanese own
ership of land; stimulate progress
in Oregon.
Colonel White has nothing in his
published platform definitely con
cerning the Roosevelt highway, but
he confided his ambitions for this
project in the ear of a reporter la
ter.
“I’ve traveled over nearly all the
coast country from the Columbia
river to the California line", said
Colonel White, “and I’ve never
seen a country so rich in natural
resources any place else, The Roose-
velt highway would open this vast
amount of undeveloped country to
the world.”
“There is another aspect of the
situation that also interests me.
That is the valuable aid such a
highway-would give to the military
preparedness program of the gov
ernment”, continued the Colonel.
Contrary to some belief, Colonel
White is not trying to use his ser
vice in the army as a drawing card
for votes. “I wish people would
forget that I ever was in th“’army”,
slid he, "I ask support simply on
my reputation as an executive aryl
no more.”

field about the tips of the magnet and
this same kind of a field propagates
the electro-magnetic force, except that
unlike the toy magnet, its power comes
off in the form of wavy motions. This
electro-magnetic force propagates ra
dio energy in nil directions.
The medium that transmits the elec
tro-magnetic waves Is the same me
dium that transmits light—the ether.
This medium is supposed to fill an
space, even that occupied by fluids and
solids. Little Is known about Its prop-
ertics.
In radio it is more common to speak
of wave length than frequency. The
wave length of any wave motion is the
distance between any two succesmve
crests in the same direction. Tie
wiire length depends upon the rr<
quency. If the frequency is high the
wave length Is short. On the other
hand If the frequency is low the wave
length is long. Numerically the ware
££h is equal to the distance t „v
eled bv the wave In one second divided
bv the frequency. Suppose, for x-

electrical resonance. Stations trans
mitting on any wave-length other than
360 meters will not cause a current
to be set up in the receiver.
The portion of a radio receiver that
changes the wave-length at which it
Is electrically resonant is called a
tuner. Suppose that "A" station trans
mits on a wave-length of 200 meters
and "B" on a wave-length of 360 me
ters. By adjusting the tuner until the
constants of the receiver make It elec
trically resonant to a 200-meter wave
or a 360-meter wave, either of the two
stations can be picked up. hut both
stations cannot be picked up simulta
neously. This is the reason that more
than one transmitter can be operating
nt one time and yet only one can be
heard on a receiver without Interfer
ence from the others.
The other necessary part of a radio
receiver is the detector. The function
of this portion of the receiver Is to
utilize the small currents In the tuner
that are set up by a transmitting sta-
, tlon and make them audil»|e through
the n dium of a telephone receiver. If
the telephone receiver were connected
dlrectlv to the tuner tbe high-frequency

------ —
The President of the Standard Oil Company (California),
author of the statement quoted above, is right in believing
that Zerolene is the best motor oil made. The lubrication
engineers of this company have proved it repeatedly, by means
of thousands of dynamometer and road tests of Zerolene
and competing oils.
The reasons for Zerolene’s superiority are: First, that the
Standard Oil Company (California) possesses resources of
crude oil and of manufacturing equipment and personnel
that arc unsurpassed in the entire petroleum industry. Sec
ond, that the engineers and chemists of this company have,
from the beginning, been given carte blanche to make full
use of these exceptional resources, ami to spend all the
time and money needed to develop a lubricant ideally suited
to the needs of the modem internal combustion engine.
At the President’s request, we are undertaking to tell the
motorists of the Pacific Coast the story of Zerolene. Wc
shall do this by means of a series of signed statements in
the public press. These statements will set forth in plain lan
guage the requirements of an efficient motor lubricant, and
the detailed reasons why Zerolene meets these require
ments perfectly
