Jls I t seems to sh i.v that there Is more resistance In this circuit than in the Inductively coupled type. The main point of difference Is the close coupling to the antenna. Being coupled, the coupling to the antenna circuit is at maximum at all times. This causes the radiation resistance to be high, which seems to be the factor that keeps I the tube from oscillating freely without unusually close coupling between plate and grid circuits. Thus we are led to believe that this circuit Is one to avoid if Interference with other listeners is to be reduced. If we must have single circuit tuners the thing to do to reduce the radiation to a minimum is to reduce tlie size of the antenna series condenser and increase the nuniber of turns in the Inductance. This will give sharper tuning and there will be much less trouble in getting the tube to regenerate. In many localities there Is a great deal of Interference from spark stations; especially in the cities on the coast or Great Lakes, where there are commercial stations to handle the ship traffic. These spark stations do not tune very sharply, and even If tr.e station Is located several miles away it is often Impossible to tune them out with the average tuner. When tuning for a faint station and using amplification there Is nothing more than to nav a spark station roar In unexpectedly. There Is little that can be done about If the station Is this interference. close a change of wave length would do little good even if this were possible. If it Is a commercial station it Is doing a much more important work than our broadcasters are, and of course cannot be expected to stand by for them. e hues. I f 1 Radio in the Prison.

The requirements of good concrete and the making and placing of plain concrete according to the best practice. Is discussed In Farmers' Bulletin Concrete for Farm 1279, "Plain Use," by T. A. Miller, agricultural engineer, Just issued by the United States Department of Agriculture. The bulletin treats also of quality, proportions and quantities of material required, forms, mixing, placing, curing, expansion Joints, surface finish,' lintels, concrete exposed to fire, and watertight concrete. Rarely can a farm be found on which concrete Is not used for some purpose such as foundations, walks, floors, walls, springs and wells, fence posts, silos, dams, septic tanks, and water and feeding troughs. Generally something Is known as to the mixing of concrete, but it Is not always that a concrete of the desired quality Is secured, or If secured, that It has been done In the most economical way. A concrete of great strength Is uneconomical If a weaker mixture will serve and a cheap or weak concrete Is costly If it does not fulfill all requirements. The cost of concrete depends not only upon the price of the materials and labor, but also upon the Judicious use of the two. Lack of foresight In locating the mixing plant. In the design of forms and in planning the successive operations may cause unnecessary expense, while neglect of any one of the precautions which should be ob served is lllkely to result in ur.satis-factor- y work.
