In studying this typo of tube connection It must be borne In mind that combination Is not a the push-pul- l tube arrangement. It Is more parallel of a relay system. One tube takes up the signal when the other lets go. In connecting two grids together both grids are at the same voltage at OOtJO 0 OOMKt !KHJ 0 Never touch the Inside of a set when It Is In operation. The most common source of trouble within a radio set is In the tubes or In the sockets. The direction In which the antenna points affects the loudness of the signals received. An aerial Is not essentlnl with a sensitive set employing two stages of radio frequency amplification. When using the variocoupler ns a single circuit set reverse the flckler connections If It will not oscillate. Colls for high frequency currents should always be wound with nonmagnetic material, preferably copper. The ground Is one of the most Important portions of the radio circuit Crystal detectors operate ns long ns the detector Is in good condition. Excessive resin from solder can be removed with alcohol and a soft cloth. If a listener is bothered by having the station programs fade the cause may be with the aerial of the receiving set. If the 'antenna becomes loose and swings in the wind it will often cause weak signals. , Americas Importance System That Reduces Impedance and Improves the Output. the same time. Roth plates, being connected together, are at the same voltage at the same instant. Rut an essential in smooth notion Is that both tubes must be alike, which seldom happens. It Is the same situation with a team of horses. Unless they are matched there will be a difference In the work they do. Aside from these considerations, putting the Input circuits In parallel cuts the input impedance to one half of its value. Likewise, plate circuits In parallel cuts the output Impedance to half value. In the output circuit, therefore, to match the tube Impedance, the transformer or choke or resistance would naturally have one-hathe Impedance It had when matching a single tube. In other words, smaller chokes and smaller primary Inductances will give better results than the high values, assuming the latter to he correct for a single tube. But another way. the cheaper tjpes which do not give such desirable effects on a single tube should be better on the parallel tube. in Great Radio Field Until radio became a part of American communication service, this country was, lu effect, reliant upon foreign countries, especially in time of war. Since radio has been developed, however, the United States has taken its place In the sun, so to speak, and within the last six years has, through its private and public enterprise and initiative, given America direct communication with Great Britain, Franco, Italy, Germany, Holland, Rolaud, Sweden. Norway, the Argentine, Japan, Java, Hawaii, Brazil, Chile, the a Philippines, China, French and Australasia. The American radio network" is comparable only to the cable network of Great Britain. Indo-Chin- Never before In the history of the automobile has there been so much abuse of the automobile horn. Horns are better sounding and more reliable than they ever were, yet this appears to be of no advantage In regard to their use. motorists are beUnquestionably coming a bit vain over the noise their because experience horns make, shows that the horn button Is always overworked where cars are thickest and where horning Is least necessary. That is because each driver. Is trying to outdo the other. Some one horns and tho first thing you knbw they are nil doing It. Conversely, because the audience along the highway is so scant by comparison the horn Is silenced. No one on the road would Jump a foot when it Is sounded. This business of burning the headlights In daytime during a long tour ns a means of wasting some of the electric current so as not to overheat the battery would be unnecessary. The horn motor offers a means of wasting current, and, at the same time, of using It to good advantage. Headlights In the daytime are useless because their rays cannot be seen until one Is looking straight Into, the reflectors. A warning then Is unnecessary. Horning at nil the curves, crossroads, school houses, upon passing other cars and before reaching the crest of a steep hill where another car may be approaching on tho wrong side of the road, furnishes an excellent way of not only forestalling damage to the battery but to the whole car as well not forgetting the occupants. Word of Caution. In horning generously, however, a word of caution Is appropriate. The careful driver never keeps Ills horn blowing constantly while rounding a curve or approaching a crossroad. To do so would be deafening himself to the sound of another born which may he blown ns a warning to 1dm. In such cases the effect Is the same as (hough neither driver sounded a warning; and the results are much more serious, because when a driver has given a warning be assumes that he has paved bis way to safety and Immediately puts on more steam. When the cars suddenly appear face to face the drivers are caught off their guard. Their excessive surprise may occasion them to act less sensibly than If caught in the usual predicament as a result of not horning at nil. The solution Is to horn Intermittently. This matter of Intermittent horning Is of particular value when approaching a blind alley or a crossroad In the wake of another car. Many drivers have a habit of assuming that If the driver of the car ahead horns at a crossing that Is sufficient warning for both. Rut experience proves that It is not. The motorist coming out of the side road hears one horn and naturally assumes there is but one car coming. lie proceeds to cross the main road and precipitates a collision. Coming From Side Road.

A motorist may think the pedestrian plays no important part In his motoring, but just the same the length of time he must wait at a crossing depends largely upon how long It takes for the pedestrian to cross. A blast of tlie born may get the pedestrian traffic dizzy and so prolong the agony. There is a time to horn and a time to remain silent ; and It only requires a little headwork to differentiate between them. 4444444444444444444444444 Best Driving Code J Quite Simple One Have you ever stopped to con- elder the signal code of the T average driver?

Safe Conduct on Roads Is Founded on Courtesy It Is almost axiomatic, writes the that manager of a traffic bureau, safe conduct on highways Is founded on courtesy. A million detailed traffic rules cannot cover up that fact. There Is no substitute for courtesy anywhere, least of all on a crowded highway. There used to be more of It, this traffic man says, than there Is now. "That was in the days when automobiles were new and few. It was natural then for drivers to treat each other courteously, as they would do in meeting neighbors on the street, or touching elbows with them at theater or church. Rut with the Increase of traffic pressure on space and nerves they have lost that fine old spirit of mutual accommodayon. It may be harder now not merely because there are so many more ears on the road, but because all kinds of people are driving them. There may be a larger proportion of boors and thugs behind steering wheels than there were in the primitive traffic days of ten to fifteen years ago. Yet It Is still true that courtesy Is the great solvent. and ladylike conGentlemanly duct Is contagious, and tends to multiply itself on the road as It does anywhere else." chief, great, Important difference between alligators and crocodiles. All right, said the other alligators, give the address. So Annie began. "Tlie croepdile, she said, has a pointed, narrow head, and our heads are rounded and broad. Thats the great, chief, main, Important difference. That Is the great difference, the others agreed. Yes, continued Annie, the subject of my address is: How to know an alligator from a crocodile. You will not mind, or you do not mind, or I hope you have not minded my giving the title of the address after having given the chief part oil the address itself. We dont mind, said the other alli- gators. Good," said Annie. I thought I would like to make my address and my form of speech-makin- g different from other forms." Your own form is different from the form of many who make speeches," the other alligators said. Your form Is the form, of an alligator and few have forms resembling alligators except the crocodiles. dont Certainly the children we-sehave forms such as ours. They look quite different. Well, said Annie, the funny part Is that they like their forms better than the forms of alligators. But I also meant that the form in which I gave my address the way I worded it was different and unusual. And now, having got to this point, I want to finish my address by saying these words to all who may hear, and to all who will have alligator talk translated for them : Remember, remember,1 remember, the alligator has a rounded, broad snout and the crocodile a pointed one. In other words: The alligator, alligator has a blunt nose. the crocodiles Into a point goes! You must surely give this address for the people, too. The zoo Is filled with people, said the other alligators and maybe the keeper will translate or explain. So the splashing and the queer sounds made by one of the alligators in the zoo that day meant that Annie Alligator was making an address and that this was what she said I Like a Little Lady Little Alma had been spending the afternoon with an elderly couple across the street.
