A variable resistance Is connected across the secondary of Transformer coupled. FOR YOUR NOTEBOOK Use eood Insulators and solder all connections in the aerial. Headphones should be bought for their ampere turns and not the resistance. Buried metal plate or pipe driven in moist earth can be. used as the . ground. Metal dials usually Increase the microfarads. A common cause of distortion in audio amplification Is poorly designed transformers. The length of the aerial is measured from the extreme end, and includes the lead-iand ground wire. .

Boy Walks Forty Miles to See Radio Artist A striking illustration of the interest the general public takes in popular radio entertainers occurred recent- boy walked ly when a thirteen-year-oland hooked rides all the way from Northfield, Minn., to Minneapolis, a distance of 40 miles, in order that he might see what Jack Little, who was broadcasting from WCCO that week, looked like. The youngster, who gave his name as Richard Davis, fainted from exhaustion when he reached the WCCO studios. He was given first aid by Announcer Paul Johnson, who, in addition to his radio work. Is a student of medicine at the University of Minnesota. The lad was then introduced to Little, and Judging from his expression, he fit that meeting this famous singer was worth his long trip. He says that lie and some other boys have had very many arguments s to what Little looked like and lie had decided to find out for himself. There being no 'school on Sutird.i.v, lie started for tlie Twin Cities early in the morning. Because he had no money he was forced to walk part of tlie time and pick up rides tlie remainder of tlie way. d One way to stop a radio nuisance a neighbor who permits his set to oscillate continually Is to have a petition signed and sent to the supervisor of radio in the district. Nearly all Interference producers are of the regenerative type in the hands of an- inexperienced operator. It is needless to expect good work front a set unless the prongs of tubes are making absolute and firm, contact with the tube socket springs. The lpast looseness of contact means trouble. Antenna and ground leads tp the set should be as far apart as possible. Keep one at right angles to the other If you can. When You Select New Tubes for Amplifiers In impedance-couple- radio-frequenc- y coupled audio-frequenc- y d amplifiers, imoedance-couple- d amplifiers and audio-frequenc- y resistance-- ampli- fiers, the amplification obtainable from the entire system Is dependent upon tlie amplification constant of the vacuum tubes employed. Standard vacuum tubes with an amplification constant of approximately eight will not produce, best results. Greatest amplification will he obtained when tubes or high amplification constant tubes are used. Tubes with amplification constant of 20 are now available.

It is significant that tlie convention is to he held on tlie tenth anniversary of the entry of tl u Unite States into .lie World war, Mr. Blder slid. One of the principal objects ill holding the convention abroad is to enable tlie former doughboys to visit tlie American battlefields in Trance and to enable them to pay homage to tlie of their former comrade's who now lie buried in tlie soil of Franco. "It will lie a great pilgrimage, behind which there lies a high and sacred patriotic purpose, tlie resolve to rededicate tlie American Legion to tlie ideals of and Its memebr-diifreedom and democracy, tlie same ideals for which those who are today buried in France died ninl which Inspired tlie organization of tin Legion ten jears before." Mr. Blder explained that though 30 MM) veti rans would lie taken to Irance on tlie Legion pilgrimage, making tlie crossing in 21 luxurious ocean liners, this would probably lie less than the number of those who actually wanted to go. In order to give ever one an equal chance, definite quotas were to lie assigned to each state, based on membership of tlie Legion In any particular state during tlie year 1020. Tlie Leg'ion is further particularly anxious to makg it possible for tlie men of moderate means who could probably never afford to go to France as a regular tourist to join tlie Legion, lie expedition," Mr. Elder declared. explained that on behalf of these men a campaign had been inaugurated by the France convention travel commitof emtee to obtain the ployers in granting extra vacation time in 1027. It will require at least four weeks to make the trip to France and buck. Many Legionnaires who want to go to France feel that it is futile to save their money unless they can obtain the necessary extra vacation time, We are thereMr. Elder declared. fore trying to assist them by bringing their problem to the attention of employers in all parts of the country.
