MacDomild, a retired capitalist, within the past the years has tuned In on his radio set to programs bread-cas-t by CM stations In 37 countries. Althotii;!) MacDonald disclaims holding the record as champion long-distance radio listener, the big sta-- i tions of the world London, Berlin, j Kerne, Home, Tokyo, Melbourne sing out from his loud speaker as clearly ' as local stations are heard In the av ernge American home. Indeed, he has long since logged all the most powerful broadcasters over the world, and now amuses himself by picking up d transmit-ters In obscure portions of the globe. MacDonald considers his most re-markable "tuning In" achievement the program he recently obtained from station 2AX, ISombay, India, on the other side of the world. "It was most unusual because the station was using only .r2 watts of power," he explained. Fifty per cent of MacDonald's long distance listening success Is due to his patience, tuning ability and the extreme care he takes to keep his radio set In order, experts declare. However, MacDonald Is more modest In explaining his success. "To tune In broadcast stations over great distances, one's radio set nuts' be In a good location that Is. one must live In a district where slgnnls come In clear and strong," he said. "1 believe location hns 00 per cent to do In bringing In programs from foreign countries and that equipment counts for only 10 per cent." The receiver MacDonald uses has 11 tubes. The amplifying tubes are shielded In a single compartment MacDonald constructed the set him-self but he disclaims any technlenl de-partures. The set Is "loaded down with vurl ometers,'' to use MacDonald's exact expression. This Is to cut down the volume of powerful domestic and for-eign stations, In order to minimize In-terference and the crowding out of the small transmitters In obscure cor-ners of the world. MacDonald believes that most radio fans pay too little heed to the aerlnl and ground. "My aerial Is a box-cros- s affair, without Impeding Insulators," he said. "It Is about 3 feet by 0 over all. It has a large capacity spread over a small area, making for sharp tuning less static and quick dejlvery of the impulse to the set. I have tried dozens of kinds of aerials and masts There Is n discarded pile of them In my back yard which 1 call an 'aerial morgue.'

I PRINCELY VISITOR Prince Mohamed Aly Ibrahim, son of the ruling house of Egypt, posed for this special portrait In Washington where he was visiting for a few days. He was received by President Cool-idge- . Planning Pan-Americ- an Highway UcpresentKtive Clarence .T. Mcl.eod, Republican, of Michigan, and Rep-resentative Cyrenus Cole, Republican, of Iowa, chairman of the house for-eign relations committee, examining the route of the proposed highway which Is Intended to link the United Slates and Canada and the capitols of seventeen Latin American countries. Operation of Receiver and Care of Batteries The "A" battery with Its charger and the "B" batteries, or a "B" bat-tery eliminator, should receive the very best attention, for the mtlsfae tory operation of the receiver de pend8 tliei-eon- . It Is good practice to build a box to bouse these Items. Several coats of good asphaltum paint will protect It against the fumes from the "A" battery. This bos can be dl vided into two compartments one for the "A" battery and charger, the other for the "B" batteries, If the constructor so desires. A hinged cover will be al-most a necessity to prevent dust from collecting on the apparatus and cloth-ing from coming in contact with the top of the "A" battery. Vent holes should be provided for the escape of fumes. A battery cable of the detachabl-e- plug variety, used to make the connections from the set to the battery box, Is a very convenient arrangement. This allows the battery to be Instantly connected or disconnected from the re celver for Inspection jr repair, and the unit Is so arranged that it can h put together only in the proper man ner.

L J ' Nicolas Titulesco, foreign minister of Rumania, It is reported from Europe may be called upon to act as arbiter between France and Germany In the dispute over the occupation of the Rhineland. Titules.o Is called in some quarters "the man of the mo-ment" In Europe. Electric Sparks Cause of Much Interference An electric rpark somewhere In of the lighting or power com panies Is the chief source of Interfer ence outside of the receiving set. A spark In an electric circuit Is an amaz lng phenomenon. It Is not usually a simple leap of llame from one ter mlnal to the other, as it appears to be j It is a multitude of such leaps In both directions, an oscillating discharge and Its period can be more or less definitely controlled by the electrical constants of the circuit. That Is, tin "tuning" of the circuit will change the rate of oscillation. All electrical apparatus Is capable of sparking. Have Brush on Hand to Keep Radio Set Clean Probably no place more 'ban radio Is the old adage, "An ounce of preven tion is worth a pound of cure." worth of sharp attention. for example, dust Is one of the blij gest enemies of the receiver. An or Olnary paint or tyjiewriter brush is the best remedy. With It variable cou densers and other parts of the set may be kept clean, avoiding worries i hat ereop In if the dust Is allowed to iiccuiuulaie. |
