Two tanks, lumber yard, plaster mill, fine schools and a modern hotel. : : 1 operating under the latter conditions, the tube Is used in "regenerative" circuits of radio receivers to produce enormous amplification. When used in radio receiving circuits, of such kind that energy la transferred from the plate circuit to the grid circuit, we have the famous "Armstrong regenerative" or "feed back" circuit which la bo generally used at the present time. Any vacuum tube radio receiver can be made regenerative by arranging tbe circuit In such a manner that the plate circuit energy Is fed back into the grid circuit. This may be accomplished by either magnetic or electstatlc coupling. In Figure XXXVI the tube was made self exciting by coupling an inductance C connected In the grid circuit to L, an Inductance In the tune plate circuit. A development of this circuit la shown In Figure XXXIX. Here the energy, instead of being directly coupled from the plate to the grid circuit, Is first necessary to an and then to Intermediate circuit, M-the grid circuit. It Is necessary of and M-course, that the circuit X-have the same natural period, that ia to say, they must be tuned to the same frequency. If the frequency Is relatively high, the condenser G can be dispensed with, and the capacity of the plate to filament used as a portion of the oscillation plate circuit The circuit as shown in Fig. XXXIX is inherently the circuit used in low power undamped or continuous wave radio telegraph transmitters. By subM-stituting in the oscillating circuit the capacity of an antenna with re spect to the ground, we have the con tlnuous transmitter shown in Fig. XL. By placing a key In the "B" or plate battery to turn the plate battery on and on the start and stop, the tube os cillating dots and dashes can be sent out by varying the coupling between How the Vacuum Tube Radio Receiver Can Be Made Regenerative. If It were not for the bends In the characteristic curve, the three-ele- c trode vacuum tube could not be made to produce oscillations of constant amplitude when self excited. It Is easily seen that If the characteristic curve were a straight line, the operation of the tube would be so unstable as to render the tube useless as an oscillation generator. A third condition of relative values of potential variations can exist, that is, when the grid circuit potential variations are less than the potential variations existing in the tuned circuit between the points X and Y. When this condition exists, the oscillations in the tuned circuit cannot be maintained but the decrease in amplitude In the tuned circuit oscillations will reduce the grid excitation, and the tube will finally cease to oscillate. Thus the coupling that exists between the plate circuit through the tuned circuit inductance L and the grid circuit through the Inductance 1, control the conditions that will or will not cause the tube to act as a generator of undamped oscillations. Suppose that the coupling existing between the two colls L and 1 Is such that the tube Is generating oscillations. nt A! TXX1X other degree of coupling at which the tube will cease to oscillate.

SLUMP IS BENEFIT Manufacturers and Dealers In Radio Apparatus Are Learning Both a Needed Lesson. "The slump In the radio business during the summer months Is a boon to the entire Industry," declares Jo seph D. K. Freed, in an Interview pub lished In Radio Merchandising. "Both the radio dealers nnd the more stable and serious manufacturers are learn lesson from this Ing a slump," he says. "For example, deal ers are beginning only now to realize the truth of the fact that they cannot afford to carry a large and heterogeneous lot of odds and ends in radio ap paratus In the hopes that they will be able to dispose of It. They are learn Ing now, by a atern process, that hys terical overstocking of apparatus In an effort to meet the spasmodic demand of radio 'faddists' Is not going to prove profitable In the long run. They are beginning to realize that dependable apparatus, bought to meet the varying radio conditions, Is more to be relied upon than unknown apparatus that looks good In the catalogue, and Is merely an ornament upon the shelves. "Manufacturers, too, are learning their lesson from this slump. They are realizing thnt the time of 'order Hiking' Is past and that the time of 'order getting" Is here.

VARIETIES y, Louis II, Sovereign Prince of Monaco Louis II, Sovereign Prince of Mon aco, who has Just succeeded to the throne of that diminutive country, through the death in Paris of his father, the late Prince Albert, had a narrow escape ten years ago from losing his Inheritance, when an attempt was made to change the succession, to his detriment, as the result of an Intrigue engineered by the then kaiser, in favor of the German cavalry general and Ss, semi-royDuke of Urach. The conspiracy failed, largely due to the watchfulness of the French government, which made It clear that under no circumstances would It tolerate any German ofHcer or prince on the throne of Monaco, which is an enclave of France. France holds Trince Louis, now in d Ids year, in high regard for his fine military record of service under her flag for the last thirty years or more. At the time when his father summoned him to Paris, to be with him during the operation which was to prove fatal, he was serving on the staff of the French commander of the entente troops stationed in Silesia. But It was as a cavalry officer that he had won the warm appreciation of France during the great' war, nnd likewise In various military operations In northern Africa. vpe j Creel Flies to the Rescue of Literature The gentlemen with perpendlcn long frock coats, elastic- sided boots, stovepipe hats, black string cravats and an expression like the frozen essence of concentrated gloom who appear In the cartoons as typifying the spirit of censorship had best be on their guard.
