Questions are frequently asked regarding the use of tubes with a high amplification constant. These tubes are primarily designed for use in resistance and Impedance amplifiers. We quote a few lines from one of Keith Henneys tube articles in the Radio Broadcast magazine. He writes as follows: A tube will not 'load up a power amplifier unless coupled to it by means of a transformer. For example, the average amplifier to deliver .06 watts power requires at least 9 volts variation on its grid. A tube with a mu of 8 coupled by means of resistance impedance to the amplifier cannot produce a variation of voltage greater than 8 volts and probably not over 6, so that the amplifier will not deliver its rated quota of power. On the other hand, a tube with a mu of 20, or a tube with a mu of 5 coupled by means of a 2:1 transformer, can easily produce the desired change in tubes can be input voltage. Iligh-mused as detectors and hence are useful in vacuum tube voltmeters. Their use in resistance and Impedance amlow-m- u plifiers make the latter practical without increasing the B battery voltage beyond reason. It must be said here that the mu of such tubes is not the only important constant. The plate impedance must be considered and, like all other tubes, the usefulness of high-mtubes increases as their Imdecreases. pedance In this question It must be remarked (hat tubes of 1920 differ from those of 1925 in the fact that their plate impedance is less. This is due to the use of better filament wire which has a higher electron efficiency. This low impedance, while it makes good amplifiers, causes trouble when the tubes are used in sets that have been neutralized for high impedance tubes. It is well known that less Inductance is required in the plate circuit of low Impedance tubes to make them oscillate than is the case with high impedance tubes. On the other hand, once these newer tubes are neutralized, the voltage amplification and power output are increased. u headphones. Additional tubes may be used ns amplifiers, their action being that of relays, releasing current from local batteries when acted upon by the signal.

More than 23,000 World war erans, exclusive of those tracing their disabilities to the World war service, have been extended free hospital treatment since the passage of the World War Veterans act on June 7, 1924, according to rehabilitation officials of the American Legion at Washington.

The Wonder Workers had been doing up some nice packages of wonders and Wondrous Secrets had been helping them. But there were still some other things the Dreamland King was thinking about. He could not quite make up his mind about a few of the dreams and adventures he would send out, for Asa, the Adventurer and Adventure King, was urging to he allowed to take about some adventures. All right, you may, Asa," said the Dreamland King:'"" Asa was gone, but still the Dreamland King sat back upon Sleepy Time Mountain and thought.

It seemed to him now that he heard a knocking upon some of the trees back in these woods. Is anyone knocking? asked the Dreamland King. We are, your Majesty," called some voices.
