THRUSH AND VIREO
“We are safer in the night time
80 we travel then,” said Mr. Thrush
as he hurried the rest of the family
so they could start their spring jour-
ney.
“May we join?” asked the Vireo
family. They are very shy and they
like to travel at night for in the day-
time they are afraid of being seen
and hurt.
“Yes,” said Mr. Thrush, “we will go
from tree to tree and take rests as we
go along. A good many of your rela-
tions must have gone ahead of you.”
“Yes, many have gone ahead of us,”
said the Vireos. “We are a little late
in starting.”
“May we join the rest of you?”
‘asked the Warblers.
“Hello, Warblers, glad to see you;
by all means, come along.”
The Thrushes, Warblers and Vireos
started off and very slowly they took
the trip.
They traveled only at night and
they flew from one tree to another.
They said they all felt too shy to
travel in the daytime.
At last they reached their summer
‘home. The Vireo family settled in
the woods where some of their rela-
tions were.
They knew they would be quiet
where they had settled for it looked
wild and as if few people came along
that way.
The Thrushes chose some nice
bushes for their hemes, and the
Warblers soon got their nest homes
ready for the season.
When the other birds saw that they
had arrived they were very much
pleased.
“You were so late,” they said. “We
were afraid you would not come at
all”
“Oh, yes,” said. Mr. Thrush, “but
we kept putting off the starting of

our trip and time just seemed to fly
by.”
“Just as we did, eh?’ asked the oth-
er birds.
“Yes, time and birds are both good
fiyers,” said Mr. Thrush. “But the
strange part of it is that one is al-
ways hearing about the time flying,
and not nearly so much about birds
flying.”
“True,” said Mr. Warbler, “I won:
der why that is.”
“1 am sure I don’t know,” said Mr.
Thrush. “Of course, when it is said
that time flies it means that time: hur-
ries along.
“For time doesn't really fly. It
hasn’t wings. (It has clocks and hands
on the clocks that keep time and go
straight on all through the days and
nights, with winding.”
“There are clocks named after us,”
said Mrs. Cuckoo.
“Yes,” said Mr. Cuckoo, proudly.
“And they have a little make-believe
bird which looks and speaks as we
do.”
«But clocks often don’t go.” said
Mrs. Thrush.
“The time goes on just the same,”
said Mr. Thrush. It simply means
that the clock has not yet been wound
up, or that something is the matter
“with it.
“I really could never understand
why they didn’t say that time hur-
ried along with its hands.
“They always speak of it flying—
very, very funny.”
“You spoke in the same way,” said
‘Mrs. Thrush.
“That shows what a habit it has
become,” said Mr. Thrush, “but still
I think they should do less talking
about time flying and more about
birds flying. For we have wings and
we do fly.”
“But quite differently from time,”
said Mr. Vireo, in his shy, sweet voice.
“You see, time goes on all the time.
It never stops. And we do.
“we rest, we sleep, we eat, we keep
still, we sing, we do so many things.
“Yes,” ended Mr. Vireo, “I think it
deserves to have the word flying used
for it.”
And the Thrush thought so, too.
Ted Was in the Way
Mother insisted that Betty take her
small brother Ted with her to the
children’s party. This fussed Betty
not a little and finally she said fret-
fully: “Well, mother, how is I ever
goin’ to say I had a nice time when
I come away if I takes him?”

RADIO TELEGRAPH NOW GOES INLAND
Fourteen Cities in Nucleus of Network, With Plans for
Twenty-nine as Wave Lengths Are Granted.
Plans for the immediate establishment of a radio-telegraph
system serving all the interior of
teen strategic cities just have been announced by General James
G. Harbord, president of the Radio Corporation of America.
The service will be managed and operated by the Corporation’s
subsidiary, R. C. A. Communications, Inc.
The stations will be at New York, Chicago, San Francisco,
Los Angeles, Seattle, Denver, New Orleans, Kansas City,
Detroit, Cincinnati, Cleveland, St. Louis, Boston and Washing-
ton, General Harbord’s announcement reveals.
The establishment of the new ser-

direct communication with the world
wide wireless networks radiating
from New York and San Francisco to
foreign countries, was made possi-
ble by the recent grant of ten exclu-

radio-telegraph chain.

from the Federal Radio Commission.
“We hope to extend the system,”
General Harbord said, “to the full list
of 29 cities contemplated in our origi-
nal application as soon as additional
wave lengths are made available.”
Other cities whose commercial im-
portance and strategic location justi-
fied a place in the new radio network,
General Harbord said, were Philadel

New Sets Use Screen Grid Tubes
Two new Radiolas employing the
new AC screen grid tubes and a new
power amplifier in a specially designed
circuit to bring out their full capabili-
ties, have been announced by E. A.
Nicholas, vice president of the Radio-
Victor Corporation of America.
One of these sets, Radiola 44, is a
table model, and the other, Radiola 46,
is a console with a built-in electro-
dynamic loudspeaker. Both receivers
are encased in cabinets of two toned
walnut veneer.
“Radiola 44,” the announcement of
Mr. Nicholas explains, “utilizes three
UY-224 screen grid tubes, two of which
serve as radio frequency amplifiers,
and the third as a power detector.
The new UX-245 power amplifier tube
is used in the single stage of audio
amplification. The receiver has three
tuned radio frequency circuits, but be-
cause of the characteristics of the
screen grid tubes, has as muck selec-
tivity as a set having four tuned cir-
cuits and using the standard three-ele-
ment tubes. The two UY-224 tubes
which are used ag radio frequency am-
plifiers give as much amplification as
four of the ordinary three-element
tubes.
“The screen-grid power detector
tube gives such a strong signal that
it makes possible the elimination of
one stage of audio frequency amplifi-
cation, reducing to a minimum the
possibility of distortion, sometimes
present where successive stages of
audio amplification are used. The out-
put energy from the plate of this
power detector tube is transferred by
a choke and filter system to the UX-
245 power amplifier tube instead of
through a transformer. This results
in an exceedingly high quality of
musical reproduction and brings out
particularly well the full tones of the
bass register. As an additional pre-
caution to insure undistorted reproduc-
tion, the UY-224 power detector tube
hag a radio frequency filter which pre-
vents any radio frequency disturbance
from being carried over into the audio
amplifier.
“The UX-245 power Radiotron used

Supplementing General Harbord’s

vice-president in charge of communi-
cations, revealed that the construction
program for the fourteen cities was
already under way. Three million dol-
lars has been set aside for the initial

As used in Radiola 44, the UX-245
Radiotron will give undistorted vol-
ume in execess of the requirements of
the average home.”
An unusual type of selector dial is
employed in Radiola 44. In addition to
the usual scale markings of zero to
one hundred, the selector dial has ap-
proximate kilocycle markings to facili-
tate tuning. When the set is in opera-
tion, the scale markings and numbers,
greatly magnified, are proj2cted upon
a small translucent, composition
screen in the center of the escutcheon
plate. Another unusual feature is =n
two-in-one tuning and volume control,
arranged concentrically so that they
appear to be one control, adding mate-
rially to the external appearance and
enabling the user to operate both con-
trols simultaneosly with one hand. A
local distance switch maintains the
quality of reproduction for both strong
local and weak distance stations.
The same radio circuit and Radio-
trons as used in Radiola 44 are incor
porated in Radiola 46, together with
a built-in electro dynamic loudspeaker

Several new instructors will join
