Scientific Paper No. 44s Of the Bu-
reau of Standards. Department of
Commerce. describes the construc-
tion of>a radio-freauency amplifer
which uses the transformer coupling
method.
Radio-F eQuency application
consists in the APPLICATION OF the
received radio frequency current be-
fore it is detected. By the use of
theradio- frequency amplification and
a coil antenna. q signal which is
very feeble can be made loud enough
to be heard throughout q large room.
Three methods are described by
which, the electron tubes may be
coupled together so as to give ra-
dio-frequency application: resist
ance coupling. tuned-piate coup
ling and transformer coupling, the
latter having bee nfound most sat.
isfactory.
In order to operate well the radio
frequency ampliner. should have a
transformer designed so that It will
have small capacities In the wind
ings as well as between the wind
ings, and in connecting the trans
former in the amplifer circuit care
must be taken to have all connect =
ing leads as short as possible.
The alternating current was rec
tihed by means of q gas s-filled two
element rectfier tube called a .-Tun-
gar" tube. but Il was found that the
residual hum was greater than when
the alternating current was not rec
titled.
When an electron tube is used as
a detector there is impressed on both
the plate and filament a sixty-cycle
alternating current voltage which,
although small. becomes objection
able when amplified by one or two
stays Of radia-frequency amplinca-
tion. When. however, a crystal de-
tector Is used instead of an electron
tube detector IL has been found
that the sixty-cycle hum is prac-
tically eliminated and that the crys-
tai gives as good rectihcation as
the tube detector.
After much experimental work
a circuit consisting of three stage
of radio-frequency amplifcation, ga
lena crystal detector. two stages of
udio.freQuency application. loud
speaking reproducer apd the neces-
sary power transformer and rectifi-
cation circuits was found which al
lowed the reception of music and
telegraphic signa's without too
much interference from the hum
ming noise just mentioned.

The report mentioned above, the latest
volume of which is effective December
90, 1920 (Bulletin No. s., constitutes
the basis of all tests Of petroleum prod
ucts to be bought for any and all de
partments of the y. S. Government.
The opinion of a prominent
authority on the subject
Most writers on the subjects Of petro-
leun1 production, gasoline refining and
testing, point out the fallacy Of using
the hydrometer to determine the quail
ity or purity Of liquids.
In "The Petroleum Handbook" by
Mr.. Stephen 0. Andres, A. B., 3. Sc, E.
M, there is the following reference
made to the gravity test in the chapter
on Gasoline Specifications:
"Specifc gravity is in itself of very
little significance in determining the
properties Of gasoline. Gravity may
serve as an index of other properties
particularly volatility, only when
knowledge is at hand regarding the
source and method Of production of
sample of gasoline.
At best, the gravity "test" is simply
rule-of-thurnb method supposed by
many to indicate something that gaso-
line manufacturers and authorities are
well aware it does not indicate, that is
quality.
For this reason, the Continental Oil
Company does not sell Conoco Case
line on basis Of gravity. It's sold On
basis OF its boiling points, the real test
of gasoline volatility, power and mile
age. On this basis it more than meets
the new Navy specifications of the
us. Government.
The Idaho recorder. [volume] (Salmon City, Idaho) 1886-1927, 1922-01-06

Thousands of gasoline users have been
led to believe that the gravity test is a
reliable indication of gasoline quality
So believing, ii is only natural for them
to suppose that high gravity means
high quality and similarly that low
gravity indicates low quality. There
are, however, many facts chat show how
erroneous this idea really is.
What kabbc1ed during the var
AT the time Of our entrance into the
war, the various departments of the
government each had different specifi-
cations for the petroleum products that
it used. To eliminate the obvious dis
advantages of this condition, the Prcs;-
dent appointed a committee composed
largely of technical men and scientists
To draw up a single volume of specif-
cations for eli classes of petroleum
products used by all depar tments Of the
government.
The work Of this committee was en-
bodied IL the Report Of Committee on
Standardization of Petroleum Specif-
cations, published b. the u. S. Bureau
Of Mines. And in this rc2crt-which
contained complete methods for testing
all petroleum produces, including gaso-
line, illuminating oil, lubricating oil and
fuel oil-the gravity test was ignored
in every case.
In other words, this committee, in nu-
merous conferences with prominent
motor vehicle manufacturers, gasoline
distributors and dealers, came to the
same conclusion that gasoline refners
have held for years, namely that
gravity" has no significance whatever
in ascertaining the quality OF gasoline.
The Idaho recorder. [volume] (Salmon City, Idaho) 1886-1927, 1922-01-06

Ever since gasoline has been used scale pleasure
and commercial motor vehicles several popular tests have been
used for gauging its quality The most of them is the
gravity test made by of instrument called hydrolee
This gives the specific gravity Of the gasoline degrees Baune
an accurate measurement of its weight

ENTICING YOUNG GIRL.

Cuthbert and Dawson were stirred
last night over the sensational elope-
ment OF Miss Ethel Gilley fifteen
vear-old student at Andrew college,
and Mr.. George Perry, a well-known
lawyer OF Cuthbert
The News has reliable information
that the girl was walking on the
campus when Perry came by in his
car and asked her to ride, saying that
he would take her to see her sister
in Macon. AS soon as President
Branch discovered Miss Gilley's alb
seuce he promptly telephoned Chief
OF Police w. L. Hill, the message be
ing received by the officer at l2:45
O'Clock. He at once got in communi-
cation with Columbus, Macon, AL
bany and Americas. finally locating
the couple in Albany at $3.50 O'clock
and left Immediately Tor that city
bringing them back TO Dawson, where
the girl was turned over to her faith
er, Mr.. c. o. Gilicy, a stock dealer
who recently came here from Oklaho-
ma. Perry was carried to Cuthbert,
where he was put under thousand
dollar bond for kidnapping.
Mr. Gilley took his daughter back
to the college this morning. The girls
family live at Abel the father being

EVERY SEAT OCCUPIED IS THE
MOTTO OF THE CHURCH.
NEXT SUNDAYS SUBJECTS.

Beginning this week in preparation
for next Sundays services the mem
bers of the Dawson Baptist church
will put on what has been termed a
Fill the Pew" campaign, which viii
last several weeks The purpose OF
Che leaders is to fill ali the available
seating capacity of the church at the
two preaching services OF each Sun
day. During the summer months the
attendance naturally ran down some
what, as it does everywhere, and now
SHAT these days are past there is a
concerted effort to bring back into the
regular services all the large congre-
cations which live in and close around
Dawson. A number of special days
with special subjects will be announc-
ed in the next issue OF The News.
I is the desire OF the pastor and the
workers of the local church to have
every possible one out next Sunday
morning and evening. A call is made
to every loyal Baptist and every loyal
friend of the local congregation to do
a good bit in making this worthy pro-
gram success.
Ehere are three definite aims IN
view for this campaign. First, to bring
10 the house of the Lord all the non
church members possible, in this way
inviting them to come and taste and
see that the Lord is good" Second,
10 make the services so powerful and
attractive that all Baptists residing in
and near Dawson who are not mem
bers will be constrained to bring their
membership to the local church. Third,
there are two large and worthy works
for local Baptists to do here in Daw-
son within the next few months, and
they cannot do the worthy thing i'll
the worthy way unless all are lined up
in active service This program is
worthy of the best OF every local mem

Next Sunday morning the pastor
will preach on the subject Phillip,
