Works on 312 Meters.
On the western edge of the United
States at Oakland, al., two steel
towers have arisen and from the an
tenna, on January 8, a new radio
voice rlbrated on the air. This voice,
now heard regularly three nights
every week, is that of KGO, the sec
ond link, in a chain of three super
broadcasting stations planned by the
General Electric Company. The first
isWGY, at Schenectady, N. Y., now
completing two years of popular
broadcasting, and the third will be
erected at Denver, Col. V ,
For the first time in the brief his
tory of radio, broadcasting, an entire
building has been "constructed - to
house a great-statlon- and its equip
ment. '

lamps employed for both floodlights
and searchlights were 1,000 watt, 110
volt, and at the last moment three ad
ditional searchlights were added for
the purpose of throwing a complete
canopy of light into the air over the
field; These were the lightswhictH
made it possible to follow high fi'.es.
The other lights were depended upon
largely to illuminate the ground.
The lights represented a combined
strength of four million candlepower.
The game lasted from about 8: 15 to
9:43.
The permanent illumination plan for
night baseball consists of five lighting
stations. One station is located 100
feet back of the home plate, one each
opposite first base and third base, 125
feet on a line from home plate, and
otn each back of the right field foul
line and the left field foul line, 175
feet from a line drawn through the
home plate. The lights are mounted
on platforms, supported forty feet
above the ground by pole's.
Football Game Floodlighted
Night football followed swiftly on
the heels of night baseball. The engi
neers designed a Bomewhat different
lighting plan for football, consisting
of eight Instead of five lighting sta
tions. Two of these were placed S5
feet hack of each goal line and 94
feet apart Two more were located
100 feet back of the side-lines on each
aide and 150 feet apart.
Fifty floodlighting units, "each equip
ped with a 1,000-watt Mazda lamp,
were used, and eight of the eighteen
inch searchlights, also having 1,000
watt Mazda lamps. This made a total
of 58 units, giving a combined light
volume of five million candlepower.
A regulation four-period game was
played under these lights, with several
thousand spectators.

bodies the latest developments in the
art. Its power and antenna systems,
a thousand feet away from the studio
building, include all the mechanical
and technical refinements that have
marked the new achievements in
broadcasting. The engineering re
sources of a great electrical organi
zation have been brought into the
problem of making this station one
which every listening radio fan may
enjoy.
The Pacific Coast station is located
on East Fourteenth street, Oakland,
a site selected because of its technical
advantages,, the availability of musi
cal talent and the nearness of San
Francisco. It is a two-story brick
building. On the first flopkjs the

On the second floor are two hand
somely appointed .studios, one large
enough- to accommodate a chorus or
orchestra, and tho other for the
broadcasting of solog or addresses.
The use of two studios makes con
tinuous broadcasting possible, as the
performer can prepare to broadcast
while the preceding number is being
given. Adjoining the studios 13 a
"silent" room, where . those taking
part in the program await the call
to the studio. There is also on this
floor a control room, where operators
listen to the" broadcasting with head
phones at ear.

HATCHERY NOTES.
As we go to press it is reported
that the prospects are encouraging
for a good hatch from two sections of
the big incubator that is being oper
ated here by Mr. Roy Carpenter.
The' other sections- were filled later
and will be hatching within the next
few days.
There, will be room for aboiit twpKv
hundred eggs Saturday and Monday.
uct your eggs in now or reserve
space for your eggs' when the other
sections are hatched out.
Eggs for hatching purposes should
be handled carefully and should not
get clr'lled. You may expect better
hatches! if eggs are turned onjre or
twice daily before being brought to
the incubator. As a general thing,
the fresher' eggs hatcli best. Try to
get them to the hatchery before they
are a week old. Ten days should be
the limit. .

Nowhere did Abraham Lincoln show his
shrewdness of judgment better than in that fa
mous utterance which ended, "You can't fool all
the people all the time."
In the past, there were a few misguided ad
vertisers who thought they could sell their wares
better by misrepresentation. But those adver
tisers have long since gone out of business or
mended their ways. Hard experience taught
that Lincoln was right Untruthful advertising
doesn't pay.
Other advertisers proved that the only way
to advertise successfully, make regular custo
mers and build up public good-will was to tell
the absolute truth about their goods.
So, you can be sure that every consistently
advertised product is good. The advertising test
has proved it. The very fact that it is advertised
. i s your- best - warranty! of. satisfaction and true
quality. The concern that tqlls you frankly what it is
doing is a good concern with which to do busi
ness. That is why it pays to read the advertise
ments, to patronize advertisers, and to buy ad
vertised merchandise.-. N
