That Is why Scott W. Lucas of Havana, 111., department commander of the American Legion, heads the largest Legion department In point of membership In the nation to surpass Its 1925 membership enrollment. "When National Commander John R. McQuIgg wus elected the Legions leader at Omaha for the year 1925-2- 6 he commanded his department leaders to go back to your departments and enroll the largest membership the Legion has ever known. Scott Lucas obeyed that command to the letter. Under his leadership, although Illinois Is among the Big Three" of Legion departments, Including New York, Illinois and Pennsylvania, the 1925 membership mark of the department was exceeded by May with approximately 1, 1926, 50,000 members enrolled.

Styles In radio receivers have changed with the changing conditions of . the broadcasting field. A three-tub- e regenerative set with two stages 6f radio frequency amplification was capable of giving satisfactory reception a few years ago, but today, with the worst congestion of the ether lanes ever experienced In the history of radio, and the Increasing use of broadcasting stations, selectivity requirements demand the use of amplifying circuits.

The three-tub- e bring In just as much distance and possess all of the desirable qualities d of the sets on the market, excepting volume, which Is obtained when audio amplification Is added. Little apparatus Is needed to construct this set, and with reasonable care an excellent receiver can be had for very little outlay of time and money. To construct the set you will need the following list of apparatus: 1 square wound toroid coll, type Tl. 2 square wound toroid coils, type T2, Indicated as T2 and T3. 3 straight-lin- e frequency variable condensers, .00035 mfd. capacity.

The telegram follows : Heartiest congratulations to the Bllnols department on exceeding its 1925 membership and in leading the entire nation In total membership on May 1. The national organization Is deeply grateful to your department officers and to every post that has worked so hard, so faithfully and so splendidly to make this achievement possible. Your record Is an Inspiration to us all. More power to you." The model membership campaign for posts was conducted this year by Roosevelt-Aurorpost of the Legion at Aurora. So successful was this campaign that It was taken as the model" to be followed by other posts of the nation and a booklet describing it was prepared by national headquarters and was .sent to posts throughout the nation. a Miss Lucille Kirby, Petersburg, I1L, It Is believed, is the first woman senatorial campaign manager.

For the WD 11 or WD 12 type of tube, rheostats throughout y will be correct. Both tubes are operated from one rheostat If desired, but it Is usually best to have a separate control for the detector tube. Use Double Circuit Jack. The detector tube Is using the same voltage of B" battery as the tubes. This will only be possible as long as all three tubes are of the same type and not more than 45 volts are to be used. If a higher voltage of "B" battery Is desired, then the detector jack should be supplied from the tap. If a soft tuba Is to be used, reduce the voltage to 22 volts, or less. A single-circujack Is shown in the detector stage.

The position of the apparatus In laying out the receiver baseboard is not critical. The coils may be placed side by side without lntercoupling or causing the receiver to become unstable, due to their confined mugnetic fields. Amount of Power That How to Avoid Burning Your Aerial Picks Up Out Your Radio Tubes of prevention is worth a pound of cure," applies nowhere more forcefully than In the burning out of radio tubes. A simple measure to eliminate, as far as practicable one of the wastes of radio Is proposed by the manager of a prominent radio manutt facturing company. An ordinary conIs to needed all is that lamp duct the operation, resulting often In saving of time and money, and at other times making assurance doubly An ounce 40-wa- sure. Did you ever hear the story, 'Ive Mr. Manager burned out five tubes? asked In discussing the matter with a group of dealers. Now there Is no occasion for this happening. It, of course, may be possible because of an Internal short In one of the tubes between the grid or plate and the filament ; or possibly through carelessness In installing the receiver and connecting the battery wires. The wise dealer, however, or the one Installing the set, always connects up every receiver and uses an ordit lamp, for Innary kind stance the you ordinarily have "in the store or find in the home, In series with the plus 90 B battery lead when the receiver Is installed for the first time. With this precaution, it Is Impossible to burn out .tubes, for even if there is a defect of any kind in either the receiver or connections, the tube filaments will only glow or light up lamp convery dimly with the nected In the plus 90 B battery leads, and then only when the filament control switch Is still on Its off position. If the tubes do light with the switch In the off1 position, it Is a direct indication of trouble, and the receiver should be immediately dls- connected and the fault found and eliminated. Always use that safety valve lamp In series with "B battery for it assures absolute protection to the tubes. When the set Is completely hooked up and working properly, you can safely remove the lamp and still know that the set will function properly, and that there will be no possible chance of burning out tubes under normal operating conditions. t, 110-vol- It has been computed that the amount of power picked up by the ordinary receiving aerial Is about of a Think of it! If your receiver picked up as much power as that possessed by a fly, you would be receiving a billion times more energy than you are now receiving. It seems almost Impossible to Here Is ancomprehend this fact. other Illustration that may help you to understand how very small Is tho power actually picked up by your antenna. If the power radiated by tho average transmitting station were collected and used to heat an ordinary electric toaster It would not even glow at a dull red heat and certainly would not 'burn your bread. Yet this small amount of energy Is radiating In all directions and spreads over a circle with a diameter of 16,000 to 20,000 miles, for signals have been picked up hundreds of times at points 8,000 to 10,000 miles distant from the transmitting station. Just Imagine every foot of space In in a circle with a radius of 10,000 miles being flooded with part of the was only energy that originally enough to heat an electric toaster, then you begin to get an Idea of the extremely small amount of energy that reaches your particular aerial. From this It will he realized that to detect the extremely faint signals from distant stations your receiver must be very sensitive and efficient th tt 40-wa- tt Unde Sams Radio Job Has Grown Since 1911 Uncle Sams Job of supervising all the radio broadcasting outfits of the country has grown rapidly since 1911 when this service began. In that year there were but two men enforcing the radio laws. Today there are 19 in the headquarters office in Washington and 70 in the field watching over the 18,103 licensed amateur and commercial stations In this country and on United States ships. It Is estimated that people have access to radio with which to receive equipment broadcast programs. Value of Colored Wires Colored battery connections are good vacuum tube insurance.
