Show THE SALINA SUN, SAUNA, UTAH I Radio Aids Operation of Inland River Craft Beware of Poor Neutralization Squeals and Poor Quality Among Ills of Maladjustment. . A neutralized receiver, unless It Is carefully adjusted, can be less than one in which neutralization is not employed. There are three chief iTls of improper neutralization, according to an article in the Radio Rroadcast Magazine. The first and most obvious manifestation of incorrect adjustment of the neutralizing device is oscillation y in some or all of the These .circuits, reads this article. oscillations, as a general rule, become more severe as the frequency is increased, and a loud squeal or whistle will be heard as the tuning controls are adjusted to receive some station elii-ele- i,. radio-frequenc- that is Such . transmitting. an effect will make it difficult for the user of the receiver to obtain satisfactory recep'tion and the. oscillations will be radiated from the antenna attached to the receiver and cause Interference on other receivers located in the neighborhood. Such oscillations can be prevented by correct adjustment, and it is essential that the proper setting be determined in order to make it possible to obtain best results from the receiver. "A second detrimental effect of maladjustment of the .neutralizers is poor quality, which is generally due to the existence of too much regeneration.The quality, under these will conditions, sound generally drummy; indicating that the various frequencies in the carrier are being unequally amplified by the amplifiers. To preserve good y quality, the amplifiers must amplify without distortions band of frequencies extending about 5,000 cycles above and 5,000 cycles below the carrier frequency, and this condition does not exist unless proper neutralization is obtained. Anotner effect of improper neutralization, says Radio Rroadcast. Is to cause one or more of the tuned circuits in a single-contrreceiver to be thrown out of synchronism so that the set loses a great deal of its sensitivity, and as a result it Is not possible to tune-i- n distant stations with Satisfactory volume. These three major effects of improper neutralization indicate how essential it is that neutralization be always 'carefully' and completely accomplished. radio-frequenc- y radio-frequenc- May Teach English by Radio to Filipinos Radio may solve the problem of a common language, which is of first importance to Filipinos and to the United States. From the inception of the American regime English has been put forward in the schools and in the press to be the peoples common language since they speak some 07 Malay dialects with sharp distinctions, making It Impossible for people evn of adjaeeht provinces to converse. Rut the native tongue does not accommodate itself to English readily; few American teachers are left In the schools and the nntive teachers are, for the most pqrt, ill prepared in English, so the results of their instruction are discouraging. The children recite glibly enough, but in a strange gilerisn, not English. Rut the Radio Corporation of the Philippines recently broadcast a lesson in English diction which proved that Filipinos can acquire English by radio. long-standin- g Uatiery Clamp Lhed for Wire. Skinning Hook-up In using the popular rubber-covere- d stranded hook-uwirej radio constructors usually experience considerable trouble in skinning the ends for connections. A simple tool which is very convenient for this work can he made from on ordinary large battery-connec- t ion clamp,' which resembles an overgrown Merely file the jaws of the damp smooth, and then out in them, with a file, a notch which is roughly the size ' ' of the wire. To use the tool, simply close the Jaws over the wire to be skinned, squeeze with the fingers and at the same time pull outward toward the wires end. The edges of the notch will pare the rubber insulation off .neatly without cutting any of the fine strands of wire. p tie-clas- three-cornere- d . r t , .

Alcohol will tend to remove the varnish and spoil the finish on the wood. Used In the manner prescribed, It Is excellent for the bakellte panel. ol It Is generally known that radio has transformed the art of navigation upon the high seas. This science Is also coming into Its own as an aid to the operation of craft upon inland rivers. Maj. v. w. Parker, chief e'wk of the American Engineers office, Cinof cinnati, originated broadcasting river stage reports over station WLW? In response to a circular letter sent out by Major Parker recently to test the value of this service, the lockmas-ter- s and transportation companies operating Ohio river craft have given enthusiastic Indorsement of the value received from this service. River stage reports are broadcast each morning and are picked .up by the lockmasters and boat captains along the Ohio river and its tributaries from a point a few miles south of Pittsburgh to Cairo, HI. Lockmasters find this service extremely valuable. All of the fifty dams along the Ohio are movable and the reports of the rising and falling of the river enable the lockmasters to know when to raise and when to lower the dam. The dams are made of wicket, a de--' vice Invented by a Frenchman and tried out in the Ohio river for the first time at Davis island dam, seven miles below Pittsburgh, in 1S79. When all of the wicket sections are in position they form a barrier. When the rlvbr Is rising, the dam tender goes out in a maneuvering boat, equipped with a derrick, and lowers each section to the bottom of the river, and the traffic goes over the dam Instead of through the locks. As for the steamboat captains, the reports enalvlr-ttieto determine the stage at which they must navigate, and to know when they will go through locks and when they will go over the dam. They can sit in their cabins and compare the river stage reports with the draft of their boats, which tells thenr what precautions they must take to steer to the channel. Many Ohi'o river craft tow a large number of barges of coal. It is difficult to maneuver such a tow under the best conditions. In the absence of accurate information as to river stages, the craft may be caught on a sandbar for a week or two. The promptness of the radio infor- mation is especially appreciated by river men, as they receive the broadcasting, In many cases, several hours ahead of the printed report Some of the companies rfver craft have equipped alloperating of their boats with receiving sets as the result of the river stage broadcast. Many large shippers have attested to the value of this service. Varieties of Troubles That Cause Interference Outside sources of Interference .which affect reception in a receiver are listed as follows; Sign flashers. Induction coils. . machines. Static machines. . Telephone ringers. Atmospheric static. . Electric street cars. . Defective transformer. Regenerative receivers. Rad contact In switches. Amateur wireless station. Static produced by belts! Loose street lamp in socket Smoke or dust, precipitators. Defective street light rectifiers. Electrical manufacturing processes Commercial wireless (code) station. Leaking insulators on power circuits. Overlapping of broadcasting stations. Motion picture machines using arc lamp. Induction from high potential circuits. Heterodyning of broadcasting stations. Defective rail bends on street railway systems. Defective lightning arresters power circuits. Motors and generators of the commutator type. Arcing wires in trees and other grounded objects. X-ra- y . How Sun Determines Volume on Long Waves That the sun's activity is probably the chief factor in determining the e strength of radio signals was the most important conclusion in the annual report of the laboratory for special radio transmission re- search prepared by Dr. L. W. Austin, of the bureau of standards. In addition to the curves and tables showing the routine measurements of the laboratory, curves were shown in the report which indicate a close relationship between the long-wav- e signal strength and the changes in number of sun spots during the eleven-yea- r sun-spcycle, the signals Increasing in strength with the Increase of sun spots. Other curves given show periodic changes in the signals during the time of the sun's rotation (twenty-sidays), while others indicate a nine-daperiod in the case of certain stations. Some of these curves also suggest fixed active areas on the sun, which often produce increase in signal strength when they face the earth. These periodic relationships, however, are not considered as well established as the relationship of the monthly and yearly averages of sun spots and signals extending over a number of long-wav- x y year S'. Corn RORIN STRAKER, known to all his many friends as Rin because he seemed always to have been everywhere, sat down for Ids breakfast of fragrant sausage and fried tomatoes Flak.es , ZrnptnXiilktrCre, which lie had prepared himself. Rin liked getting his own breakfast. Anyway Rin always spread down a fresh newspaper on' his small table Instead of a tea cloth not necessarily to save laundry but simply because it was less trouble and always clean. He invariably opened it to a page where there were no pictures usually the page on which the property advertisements arrayed themselves. As a matter of fact, Rin had acquired this one habit while, during the war and far out in No Man's land, he might have had a moment during meal time to read the home papers and spread them out while consuming bully beef, or other dainties of the soldiers life. His breakfast now was a better affair altogether than those of war days, and while Rin enjoyed his sausage he idly scanned the columns of finely printed personals that happened to be just alongside ills excellent cup of coffee. "Ry Jove! Thats funny," and Rin rend again the personal that had called forth his ejaculation. Ask for POST TOASTIES 0 -- com flakes that stay crisp in milk or cream Robin Straker; Information-wante-d. Ilease communicate. 093 John street. Frances." Robin Straker knew, of course, that he was not the Straker mentioned in the advertisement, but he decided to look up the address at noon and see what was in the wind. He finished his breakfast and dashed off to business. At noon be presented himself to the address given and sent in his card. The office was apparently that of a woman decorator as it breathed forth all sorts of alluring emblems of the feminine mind.. A young lady entered and Robin Straker caught his breath. He was instantly glad that he had the habit of spreading a newspaper down. In place of a tea cloth otherwise he might have missed one of the sweetest moments in life that sudden, glorious moment when the One Girl arrives. The young lady was, however, not struck in the same way. ller manner was icy. So you are Robin Straker, are you? the fair one asked frigidly. I am, said Robin, but not "And why hate you chosen to hide nil these years instead of facing tilings like a man. Frances has been searching for you for ten years its been a cowardly, hateful way to treat a girl marry her and then desert her." I say hold on, put in Straker finally getting a word in, youre makIm not the Robin ing a mistake. Straker youre so flattering to Then what are you here for? she demanded. I say you little spitfire if you . happened to see your own name in the paper and had some information that might help those seeking your namesake would you or would you not answer the appeal? Well if youre not the Robin Straker were looking for why didnt yoq pay so In the beginning? I didnt get a look in, said Bin You had such a pile and grinned. of flattering remarks to hurl at nip that I couldn't get a word in edgeways." I'm very sorry, she said, and now that I've talked so much you can start in. As a matter of fact, said Robin, I saw tlie passing of the man you are looking for he gasped out his real name to me Just in the nick of time with his last breath. There was a bit of-- brawl in Mexico in 1920, I think it was, and lie Rob Straker shot liimself lie was , but Rin thought better than to say just what tlie man was. You might Just as well say it, said Polly. . He married my cousin, deserted her after a few months and never even bad tlie decency to let tier know whether lie was dead or alive. She wants noy ...la xuajry again and I was making an effort to ascertain for absolute certainty that she is free. I had never seen this Robin Straker and. naturally, didn't know You need not apologize any more," said Rin, l?ut don't you think considering. you said sum frightful tilings to me tlie very moment'! appeared in sight, that youd better atone by making my lunch hour less lonely? Be sides." he hastened to add as lie saw a natural hesitation in Pollys desire to atone in Just that way, there Is much I must 'tell you If your rouslu Is to be certain that she Is free. Remember no one but myself, perhaps, was witness to the actual passing ol one Robin Straker." He looked hard at Polly and added with a half grin, You see I can almost bar this mar riage of your cousin if Im not treat -- d right Polly laughed, and Bin fell to won lering if she would sometimes laugh iiat way when they were having oreukfast on a newspaper and lie somehow felt that she would. As a matter of fact, they had their irst breakfast wljen they returned from their honeymoon on a spread ut newspaper and there were fragrant sausages and fried tomatoes of Robins cooking and Polly did laugh for they were very happy.
