' Ladies' and Misses' Ready-to-Wear | GENERAL ELECTRIC ANNOUNCE NEW RADIO BROADCASTING STATION >VGY A radio broadcasting station, more powerful than any now sending out programs, has been installed by the General Electric Company at its plant in Schenectady, N. Y. From the roof of a five story fac tory building, two towers 183 feet high and spaced 350 feet- apart, support an antenna at such height as to give the wireless waves un obstructed freedom to' travel equally well at a speed of 186,000 feet per second in all directions. This station has not been regularly operated nor has advance announce ment been made of the impromptu or test programs sent out, which would cause amateurs to be listening, yet, letters have been received from such distant points as Cedar Rapids, lowa, Minneapolis and Santa Clara, Cuba, the latter place 1450 miles distance, announcing that the programs have been heard. These repoi-ts come from operators who, in an evening's experimenting with their receiving sets, have accidentally come upon the waves from Schenectady and are no indication of the distance this station may be heard. Broadcasting stations, with but a fraction of the power of the G. E. station, have been heard at dis tances of 2,000 miles or more under favorable atmospheric conditions. The General Electric station has been licensed to operate on a 360 meter wave length under the call letters of W. G. Y. It is equipped with the most modern of radio ap paratus, including the multiple -tuned antenna which, because of its many advantages, has been installed in Ra dio Central, the world's most power ful commercial station at Rocky Point, L. 1., and other tx - ansoceanic stations of the Radio Corporation of America. A three room studio, where the programs are produced, is located in a Company office building, 3000 feet from the transmitting station. One room is used as a reception room for the artists, where they may sit and chat until their time on the program arrives without danger of interfering with what is going on in the studio. The second room is the studio, where a concert grand piano, victrola, an organ and other equipment for the rrtists are to be found. Here a number of portable microphones, which are commonly known as pick up devices can be shifted about to locations best suited for the reception of announcements, musical numbers, or whatever may be sent out. In the room on the opposite side of the studio is apparatus for amplifying the sound waves before they are transmitted by wires to the broad casting station. A switchboard in the studio, which lights a red light when the station is in operation thus warning persons in the room that whatever they might say will be sent out to thousands of ears of an invisible audience, is within reach of the studio director at all times. Not until he throws a switch can anything reach the an tenna. A telephone attached keeps him constantly informed just how the program is going out and allows him to change position of the artists or microphone if such is necessary to improve the tone quality of the enter tainment. With the exception of the small pick up devices or microphones and the switchboard, there is nothing in this room to indicate it as different from any musical studio. ""** In the apparatus room, the sound waves are put through a number of steps of amplification by means of vacuum tubes which increase their volume thousands of times. The am plified sounds are then put into a wire and sent to the broadcasting station, where they enter another bank of vacuum tubes, known as modulators or molders of the electric waves. Direct current at a high voltage is necessary for the operation of a transmitting station. To obtain this, a 220 volt alternating current line, which is but little longer than the voltage used for lighting purposes in the home, is boosted to 30,000 volts by means of a transformer. This voltage is then applied to a number THE GrUILFORDIAN of vacuum tubes, acting as rectifiers, which change hteh voltage to direct current. Placed between the recti fier and the the modulator or mold ing tubes, is a high power oscillator tube. The electric power entering i this tube sets the ether into vibration ; and upon these vibrations the electric waves, molded into shape in the mod ulator tubes, are sent to the antenna to go out into space. JOINT MEETING OF Y. M. AND Y. W. C. A. After the strenuous labor of clean up day and a picnic supper, served upon the campus almost the entire student body gathered in Memorial Hall for what was without doubt one of the best meetings of the year. Dr. Perisho, in his forceful address, brought a message to the students which will not soon be forgotten. Taking as his text 11. Tim., 2:15, "Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth," he proceeded to ! show us some of the big things that we should do with our college train ing. "What is a school or college for," asked the speaker. In reply he said, "It is a place where young men and : women learn to do the things which should be done in the community where they live." The speaker con tinued, "If the state or nation, church or community cannot successfully turn to the educated young men and women for the proper solution of the problems confronted, theh where can they turn? Better citizenship is the main end of education." At the present time some pressing needs all over our land, are: More and better Bible schools, more effi cient and successful business admin istation in the churches and better guidance of public opinion. All stu dents should take an interest in the college Bible school and so train themselves that they will be ready to take up this much needed work when they return to their homes. | This Bible school work is one of the most vital needs of the day. "20,- 000,000 children are growing up in our land without any definite, sys tematic religious instruction." If our nation departs from Christian prin ciples it is doomed and unless we give children proper religious train ing they cannot be expected to make broadminded citizens with the Chris tian viewpoint. ELON WINS DECISION IN DUAL DEBATE (Continued from page 1) that the South would not be properly represented. They succeeded in gain ing the decision of the judges, two tc one. The judges for the evening were Dr. J. H. Barnhardt, of Greens boro, Dr. Jackson of North Carolina I college and Hon. Koontz of Greens boro. The timekeepers were B. W. Everett for Elon College and Hersal j L. Macon for Guilford College. S. Gladstone Hodgin and J. Spot Taylor, Jr., representing the negative side of the question for Guilford, met the Elon affirmative team composed of R. S. Helms and H. Lee Scott. The judges, Rev. W. R. Potter, Rev. E. N. Caldwell and D. J. Walker de j cided in favor of the affirmative A few days ago the question of available United States Treasury funds for a pressing and wholly authorized purpose was under con sideration, and the statement was made that the funds were lacking. [The statement was challenged and I a certain bank deposit was pointed j out in support of the challenger. In vestigations followed, and it was learned that one bank in New Yoi*k had a $10,000,000 deposit of United States funds, on which no report had been made, no interest l'eported or paid, though the deposit was made in 1919. The incident has set many people wondering how many deposits are standing to the government's credit without record, and concern ing which the new administration | has no means of knowing.
