Show THE S ALINA SUN. SALINA, UTAH HIS BLIGHTED ROMANCE By RICHARD CONNELL By W. M. HENDERSON Every radio fan is well acquainted with the efficiency of the vacuum tube. It Is also generally known that the disadvantages of the present-datube are the frailty of the filament and the uncertainty, of the vacuum. These two disadvantages have caused many radio inventors to attempt the design of some form of rectifying and amplifying apparatus to take the place- - of the present tube. The results obtained through tireless research and design have done much to further dependable radio transmission und reception. One of the most Interesting of these develop ments Is the use of colloidal liquids to replace the vacuum und filament in a tube. Though tills form of rectifier and amplifier is not developed to an efficient stuge, und though it may never he, a simple description of how a colloid solution acts as a radio device will he given to acquaint radio fans with the new development and also place before those who are experimentally Inclined u working knowledge of a colloid lube," so they may experiment with It if they so desire. The heart and substance of this tube" is a colloid. Those who have studied chemistry know t hat a colloid is a compound which, when placed In a liquid, uhsorbs that liquid, similar to a sponge, and the particles of the col lold are held In suspension by the lithree-electrod- e y - Glas U Tube Apparatus for Making the Test, quid. When the liquid Is driven off from the colloid by evaporation one of two things will occur either the colloid will become a hurd, solid mass incapable of reabsorbing a liquid, or will become a solid again capable of reabsorbing a liquid. Colloid Classification. Colloids of the former class are railed Irreversible, and when solidified after once absorbing a liquid are in a coagulated state. Colloids of the lat ter class are called reversible. This suspension of colloid particles In a liquid is commonly called a col loidal liquid and somertmes a solution Though neither of ttiese is absolutely correct, they ure now commonly usd und will tie In this article. Colloids generally form solutions called a "sol" that is, whatever liquid a colloid is placed in has sol placed after it to name the solution as an l. example, alcohol plus a colloid When a colloid Is placed in a liquid the result is a perfect fluid, bit not ns a rule transparent. Colloids are divided Into' two classes, emulsoids nod suspensolds The emuholds, when placed In water have tile water penetrate their parti ties. while the suspensolds are those colloids which are not penetrated b the liquid thus particles of suspended colloids will be In a stute of stispen Sion in the liquid. Enuflsolds are mostly. organic substances, while suspen-sold- s are metals, sulphur, selenium, etc. The latter are the ones used In cles around one electrode will he early discerned by the Increased coloration around that electrode.

Slight success has been obtained by using tills type of tube" as an oscillator in the circuit shown In Fig. 3. Here a control electrode, similar to the grid of a vacuum tube, Is interposed between A asd B. Reversal of polarity also materially Increases the life of the oscillator. Two circuits for using the tube as an amplifier are given. The first Is for a simple tube. This operates In the following manner: An alternating current flowing through the Input circuit causes a variation of resistance, which Is, of course, proportional to the potential variations Because of the negative characteristics of the tube, a reinforcement of 'lie alternating circuit is obtained In the output circuit.

Consequently there is a constant repulsion between particles which would cause the movement noticed under the microscope. The second theory Is that the liquid molecules are constantly striking the colloid particles. The impact between the molecules and particles gives the noticed particle movement. How Test Can Be Made.

There are P If Alice Should Write Her Memoirs It Is said that society in Washington Is talking rather excitedly and a little apprehensively about a rumor that Mrs. Nicholas Longworth Is engaged In writing her memoirs. If the daughter of T. It. should tell the story of social and political Washington as she has known It the book would be the best seller for a long time to come. The former Alice Roosevelt has the ability, the sense of humor, the spice of malice and the daring to tell It well. It would be an uncomfortable book for some people, .probably; but a mighty Interesting one for most. Perhaps Mrs. Longworth remembers the day when all sorts of yarns about her own irrepressible self were being related. She may feel that it Is now her turn to get even. Yes, Alice has plenty of nerve. In ihe famous 1912 convention she was an interested and most partisan spec-l- a tor. In that convention, F.lihu Root presided and directed the operation of the steamroller. The T.

Texas Womans Odd Political Campaign equal-alcoso- radio (. Doubloday, Paige Politics is a queer game, but it would be hard to find a more picturesque primary campaign than that in Texas, where Mrs. Miriam W. Ferguson ran for the Hemocratic nomination for governor as a vindication of her husband, Janies E. Ferguson, the former governor, who was Impeached In 1917. Her husband managed her campaign and they spoke from tlie same Previous to her marriage platform. in 1S99 she was Miss Miriam Wallace of P.ell county. Mrs. Ferguson got 140,900 votes and stood second to Felix D. Robertson of Dallas, ISO, 990 votes. So Mrs. Ferguson apparently earned a place in the run-of- f primary. Janies Edward Ferguson, her husband, has had a varied career. He was born In Rell county, Texas, In S71, had a district school education ind spent two years on the Pacific coast and In Colorado as a laborer, teamster, miner und n.ienuin ut railroad construction gangs. Next he was a farmer in Bell county. lie was admitted to the Texas bar and practiced in Belton and Temple. Next he organized a bank. Then lie entered politics by being elected governor in 1914 on a business mans ticket."

He saved his money; lie purchased (second hand) a dinner jacket and a pair of white flannels. lie invested his at a fashionable savings in a week-en- d summer hotel.
