loose the elements of an ordinary tube, and then run
a test on it to prove that it would stand even that
sort of rough handling. I wouldn't advise any of our
readers to run the risk just the same. These tubes
make excellent detectors and also work well as am-

quency. They correspond in character to the stan-
dard 201A type.
In a recent edition of Everybody's Radio Weekly,
the "Jim Wells" three-tube radio set is described and
its record given for distance. "An entirely different
combination of parts is used to show the versatility
of the circuit," says the radio weekly, which adds:

SHEET MUSIC IN PORTLAND
RADIO
Whether standard and popular music may be han-
dled together in a way advantageous to both is a
question on which there is usually a variance of
opinion in any group of sheet music dealers. As a
general thing popular music is sold outside of the
legitimate trade. Nearly all department stores and
chain stores of the ten-cent type specialize in popular
music and the circumstances are such that the places
are largely frequented by prospects for popular num-
bers. The very numbers of the people visiting those
stores all day, almost assures that requirement for
profitable handling—a quick turnover. Such stores
are mostly in the center of the town where the shop-
ping crowds at all times contain a big percentage of
possible popular sheet music buyers.
It is the exception when a sheet music dealer is
found in the busy centers of cities, where the rents
are prohibitive. The very nature of his business
compels him to occupy a store in a quieter location
conducive to a regular business with musical people
and professional musicians. He may handle populars
for which there is strong and immediate demand, but
he does not demonstrate them continuously as the
chain and department stores do. His reasons are
obvious.
It is an acknowledged necessity of the trade that
popular music must be demonstrated in an insistent
way and by pianists who treat the keyboards rough
and by singers with an edge on their voices. To sell
standard music to a musician under such circum-
stances is difficult. Real musicians are not the ones
who buy popular music. And while musicians may
enjoy some of the populars, they are not the kind
on which profits in handling popular music are made.
A dealer who is located in the center of the town
probably could enjoy a good business for both the
popular and standard music. But for the dealer
whose store is outside of the "madding throng" dis-
trict the featuring of populars is not advantageous to
sales in the standards.

RADIO EXPORTS GROW.
Radio exports continued the heavy upward trend
indicated by the figures for the last few years, and
for the first nine months in 1925 were practically
double the total for the same nine months of 1924.
Exports of radio products several months ago passed
the mark for the total of last year's shipments.
