There were many hooks with a great rleal In each one of them that lmd to be learned. The school house was filled with hooks that were tilled with information. There was a great deal of knowledge to lie had there, and there was a great deal of knowledge taken from there. Now that was one tiling that was very generous about tlie school. No matter how much knowledge any one took from it no one objected. They could go back and ask for more at any time, too. I?ut there were other things In tlie school house besides knowledge. Of course' there were tilings Hint took intelligence such as belonging to general organization societies and in taking leading parts in school games.

In addition to the various races between state departments, there are a number of national membership trophies awarded each year to the winning departments, the terms for the national honors being different In almost every instance.

Very lew' fan's give thought to .several pertinent items relative to fixed condensers which mauilest u great effect upon the utility of the capacitance and unit. , s A topic very seldom discussed Is tlie ..l'.'ulatioii resistance of condensers. This term is tlie value of resistance ottered by tlie dielectric of t lie condenser to the I low (if direct current. Tlie dh'lectrle medium is tlie solid insulation material located between tlie active metal surfaces. In fixed capacities this is usually mica or a high grade of paraffined or waxed paper. Tiie insulation "resistance days a very important part in condenser considerations, far upon it is dependent the break-dovvvoltage of tlie completed unit. The lower tlie insulation resistance of u condenser tlie lower will he Its break-dowvoltage. Furthermore, tin value of tlie insulation resistance days an extremely important part in Hie calculation of the power factor of a condenser, especially the work. units utilized in Fixed Capacity. The average fixed capacity is usually subjected to high values of either 1). C. or A. C. voltage. The higher tlie insulation resistance of the unit tlie higher can tlie applied voltage be, And tlie without fear of break-down- . higher the Insulation resistance tlie less tlie leakage in the condenser and tlie greater its operating efficiency. Consequently it is paramount to maintain the insulation resistance of fixed capacities at the highest possible level. Consistent with tlie improvements in the various phases of radio receivers, improvements have also lieen effected upon fixed capacities. Com cla-sroo- in u n busy.

To quote exact figures, tlie insulation resistance of several large-siz- e condensers (fixed) of yesteryear was found to vary between lO.ttOOjiOO and fiO, (too, out) ohms, whereas similar condensers of present design showed Iimul.il ion resistance, values of ohms. Another important consideration to fans who utilize filter condensers and s condensers is tlie distinction between these two vldues. Fans who Ignore the distinction between these two values do so at their own risk. Tiffs is equally true with and filter condensers. Tiie is the voltvoltage working age at which the condenser unit can lie continuously operated with factor. .Tiie a satisfactory safety testing voltage, on tlie other bund, is practically the limit of operation for very short periods. Under no circumstances should a condenser be continually subjected to the testing voltage value. If It is it will break down in a very short time. .

If the condenser Is so wired into tlie circuit that it is subjected to u continuous load.. the works coning voltage ratings, of the denser must he high enough to permit tlie application of the high voltage. Many complaints of blown condensers have no doubt been reIn ail fairceived by manufacturers. ness to the manufacturer, the fun must realize that each and every bypass condenser lias a maximum working voltage. Measurements made ups on various condensers for receiver use allowed a working voltage rating of 223 to 273 volts. Where higher voltages are encountered in tiie conreceiver either special s densers should be used, tlie condensers arranged in series, or recourse made to small values of filter condensers with tlie correct working ' . voltage. cuit. Crystal Control May Be Required of Stations There is nothing quite as annoying to tlie broadcast listener as a station which allows its wave .length to wander about In a haphazard manner. A station can he' made to. maintain a constant frequency by the simple ex-- pedient crystal plained ltadio is the which c of applying a tlie proper way, as exliy M. Thornton Dow in tlie I.roadcast magazine. Quartz most commonly imed crystal piezo-electri- in lies qualities. 'Iliis earth u!ar quality of crystals Is manifest by the fact that, neon tlie passage of an electric current through them in a certain direction, tlie dipiczo-electri- c mensions will be clruiged. and, conversely, if flip crystal Is sqm ezed in tlie right way, a voltage Is prod, iced. Hy (omhining the crystal with n vacuum tube it Is possible to make the cry stiff net ns a monitor for nny desired frequency nt which the tube will oscillate. The frequency of oscillation of tlie crystal is dependent upon its physical dimensions. It Is. therefore, possible to accurately grind and calibrate a crystal so Hint it will give any desired frequency or wave length when coupled In the proper circuit. It Is comparatively easy for n hrombuisting station to procure a crystal which will oscillate at the wave length which the station is supposed to operate on. Then, bv reading a very simple indicator, the station may In kept on the wave length assigned to It. Jinny of tlie higiier-elas- s stations are using tlie piezo electric crystal now. and ttieir frequency. or wave length, Is kept constant within a very squill fraction of one per cent. Stations which nre con trolled in this way dn not give the listeners the least trouble .in tuning to ttieir wave, and in rnany cases these stations arc used as standards of frequency measure. Ierluips some day, when the tangle of wave length is nil ironed out, and nt least some semblance of control Is obtained again. It will be required that each and every station be pro vided with a crystal control. Useful Wiring Set Tn wiring a receiver, remember that with very few exceptions, nil screws nnd binding posts are threaded with a right-lmnthread. That is, nuts nnd burs are tightened with a clock- wise rotation. Therefore, in making n loop in the end of a wire which Is to he placed on a binding post or screw, bend tlie loop in a clock-wis- e direction so that, when the nut or bur is tightened, tlie wire will not bo twdsted out from under the rut. d .... a (CopjrrlKliL) i- Colds Cost Money 0 ONE was less surprised than Bill Sherman wiien Muriel won the beauty contest nt the Comity fair, entitling her to the lyime of Miss Fair-fa- x County, a weeks trip to Ashury park, and a chance to try out for the Ingenue role In the new Itltzfield Absurdities.

As Tuesday neared Muriel grew more and more unbearable, quite ns though she. were practicing on Bill tlie peculiarities of temperament she innocently imagined appropriate to an Iler natural little Indulged actress. airs and graces became mannerisms so affected that Bill nearly wept out of sheer pity.

A scheme occurred to Hill whereby Muriel might be unable to be present on Tuesday, but at first lie dismissed It ns too horrible.
