A neutralized receiver, unless it Is carefully adjusted, can be less efficient thun one in which neutralization Is not employed. There are three chief Ills of improper neutralization, ac- -' cording to an article In the Itadio Broadcast Magazine. The first and most obvious manifestation of incorrect adjustment of the neutralizing device is oscillation In some or all of the y circuits, reads this article. These oscillations, as a general rule, become more severe as the frequency is and a loud squeal or whistle will be heard as the tuning controls are adjusted to receive some station that Is transmitting. Such an effect will make It difficult for the user of the receiver to obtain satisfactory reception and the oscillations will be radiated from the antenna attached to the receiver and cause Interference on other receivers located in the neighborhood. Such oscillations can be prevented by correct adjustment, and It is essential that the proper setting be determined In order to make It possible to obtain best results from the receiver. A second detrimental effect of maladjustment of the neutralizers is poor quality, which is generally due to the existence of too much regeneration. The quality, under these will sound conditions, generally drummy. indicating that the various frequencies in the carrier are being y unequally amplified by the amplifiers. To preserve good quality, the amplifiers must amplify without distortion a band of frequencies extending about 5,000 cycles above and 5,000 cycles below the carrier frequency, and this condition does not exist unless proper neutralization is obtained. Another effect of improper neutralization, says ltadfo Broadcast, Is to cause one or more of the tuned circuits in a single-contrreceiver to be thrown out of synchronism so that the set loses a great deal of its sensitivity, and as a result it is not possible to tune-l- n distant stations with satisfactory volumes These three major effects of improper neutralization indicate how essential it is that neutralization be always carefully and completely accomplished. radio-frequenc- radio-frequenc- radio-frequen- May Teach English by Radio to Filipinos - Radio may s&ve the problem of a common language, which is of first Importance to Filipinos and to the United States. From the Inception of the American regime English has been put forward in the schools and in the press to be the peoples common language since they speak some G7 Malay dialects with sharp distinctions, making It impossible for people even of adjacent provinces to converse. But the native tongue does not accommodate itself to English readily; few American teachers are left In the schools and the native teachers are, for the most part, ill prepared in English, so the results of their instruction are discouraging. The children recite glibly enough, but in a strange gMAerlsn, not English. But the Radio Corporation of the Philippines recently broadcast a lesson in English diction which proved that Filipinos can acquire English by radio. long-standin- g . . SaUery Clamp Used for Wire Skinning Hook-u- p In using the popular rubber-covere- d stranded hook-uwire, radio constructors usually experience considerable trouble in skinning the ends for conp nections. A simple tool which is very convenient for this work can be made n from an ordinary large . clamp, which resembles an overgrown Merely file the Jaws of the clamp smooth, and then d cut in them, with a file, a notch which Is roughly the size of the vire. To use the tool, simply close the Jaws over the wire to be skinned, squeeze with the fingers and at the same time pull outward toward the wires end. The edges of the notch will pare the rubber insulation off neatly without cutting any of the fine strands of wire. battery-connectio- tie-clas- three-cornere- Cleaning Radio Panels Very Simple Operation Take a bit of cheese cloth and wet it thoroughly in water.

This science is also coming into Its own as an aid to the operation of craft upon inland rivers. Maj. W. W. Parker, chief ciurk of the American Engineers office, Cincinnati. originated broadcasting of river stage reports over station WLW? In response to a circular letter sent out by Major Parker recently to test the value of this service, the loekinas-ter- s and transportation companies operating Ohio river craft have given enthusiastic indorsement of the value received from this service. River stage reports are broadcast each morning and are picked up by the loekmasters and boat captains along the Ohio river and its tributaries from a point a few miles south of Pittsburgh to Cairo, 111. Loekmasters find tliis service extremely valuable. All of the fifty dams along the Ohio are movable and the reports of the rising and falling of the river enable the loekmasters to know when to raise and when to lower the dam. The dams are made of wicket, a device invented by a Frenchman and tried out in the Ohio river for the first time at Davis island dam, seven miles below Pittsburgh, in 1879. When all of the wicket sections are In position they form a barrier. When the river Is rising, the dam tender goes out In a maneuvering boat, equipped with a derrick, and lowers each section to the bottom of the river, and the traffic goes over the dam Instead of through the locks. As for the steamboat captains, the reports enable them to determine the stage at which they must navigate, and to know when they will go through locks and when they will go over the dam. They can sit in their cabins and compare the river stage reports with the draft of their boats, which tells them what precautions they must take to steer to the channel. Many Ohio river craft tow a large number of barges of coal. It is difficult to maneuver such a tow under the best conditions. In the absence of accurate Information as to river stages, the craft may be caught on a sandbar for a week or two. The promptness of the radio Information Is especially appreciated by river men, as they receive the broadcasting, in many cases, several hours ahead of the printed report. Some of the companies operating river craft have equipped all of their boats with receiving sets as the result of the river stage broadcast Many large shippers have attested to the value of this service. t The Nurses Error By EDGAR T. MONFORT li whole life would JOE BOWERS been changed had he only realized that women were wild about him. Absolutely wild, I say. They liked his big awkwardness, his sort of clumsy helplessness, his honest blue eyes. And although he was such a virile, masculine type there was something almost pathetic and wistful It made Barbara about him, too. Martin want to put her arms around him comfortingly, but she blushed furiously at the thought and glanced guiltily in his direction as she sat demurely beside him In front of the tiny open grate fire at her home. She was as petite arid dark as he was huge and fair; a pleasing contrast were these two together; the sigtit made old folks fee sentimental and think back over their own love affairs with gently reminiscent sighs. Joe tried not to go to see Barbara. He always felt and really was so misIn her presence; erably tongue-tieyet there was something about her that drew him like a magnet and It was feverish, wretched bliss just to sit beside her and steal occasional glances at the pink flush In her cheek and the parted red lips and the black curly bob that flirted so recklessly with him and made him long to put out a huge hand and touch Just one little curl. He could do It so gently that she would scarcely realize what was happening, he knew he could, If only he dare. Their conversation on these visits betrayed little of their real feelings.
