Ol T 2 Stanley Fears Government by Bureau three-electrod- e 7utfer Every now and then some United States senator makes a speech In which he laments assaults on the Con stitution of the United States both direct and Indirect the Inevitable reof which Is to bring about fursult ' ther concentration of power In the federal government and a further weakening of the sovereignty of the several states of the Union. Senator A. Owsley Stanley of Ken tucky Is such a senator. He Is a Dem ocrat, to be sure, but he Is not de fending the old Coctrine of state's rights so much as voicing alarm at the development of government bu reaus and the partici pation of the federal government in matters which have been popularly i I regarded as purely state matters. '', f si Incidentally Senator Stanley does wmmm not find himself lonesome; he finds plenty of company In this position. Here Is Senator Stanley's career In a nutshell: He was born In Shelby vllle, Ky., May 21, 1867; graduated class 1889 Centre college, Danville, Ky. ; admitted to bar 1894 ; served In Fifty-eightd Piftv-nlntand Sixty-thircongresses; Sixtieth. Sixty-firs- t. elected governor of Kentucky In November, 1915; elected to senate In Novem ber, 1918; term expires March 3, 190. ! g 1 d Sixty-secon- Enrico Caruso as Celebrity and Man Here Is a portrait of Fierre N. It. Key of New York, a music writer of note, who is writing a biography of Enrico Caruso. It Is authorized by Mrs. Caruso and by the dead tenor's vacuum, a Oner regulation of "B" batIs required and Is most easily obtained by means of on "A" shows battery potentiometer. Flg.-1- 4 how an "A" battery potentiometer Is e connected In the circuit of a vacuum tube to give fine variations in the plate circuit potential. The resistance of an "A" battery potentiometer should be between 200 and 600 ohms. By moving the slider on the "A" battery potentiometer a variation of plate voltage equal to the A" battery, or about sir volts, can be secured. If the tube contains gas. too high a plate voltage will cause the that is. the gns ,tube to "buck-over- " its Ionized and becomes a conductor, al- three-electrod- lusted. The material which will be required to do this Is as follows: One standard vacuum socket. filament rheostat. One One grid condenser and leak combined. Three binding posts. A source of filament current and a source of plate potential. Schematically the set Is connected up as shown in Fig. 15 when used with tube as a detector. a This set. too. can be very con veniently mounted on an 8 by base, mounting the tube socket with the filament rheostat beside it. In a great many of the usual rede- ceiving circuits used the three-electrod- e 10-ln- brother, who have furnished personal letters and other data. Musicians who were friends of the great artist nnd worked with him have also contributed material. Bruno Zlrato, Caruso's former secretary. Is working In with Mr. Key.
