COURT OF HONOR RECORD

The record of the boy scouts in life
saving is an impressive tribute TO til,
native heroism of the boy and to the
training which enables him to make
this spirit count. Up to 1922 only Il
gold medals, 100 silver and 400 bronze
have been awarded to scouts by thei
national court of honor. A new medal
has been designed and henceforth will
be the only medal awarded by the
scout organization. Hitherto there
have been several medals, the bestow
al of which involved difficulties Of
grading which were found too intricate
A new form of application for a life.
saving award has also been adopted
The application blanks place responsi'
bility for the gathering Of data upon
the local court of honor and require
that the service rendered "be not only
courageous and efficient but shall In.
vOlve actual risk to the rescuer.'
When rescue has been accomplished
without risk letters of COMMUNICATION
will be awarded. During the last year
the old system Of graded awards was
in effect. Under this system only three
gold medals were bestowed.

YOUR SON, A PIONEER

Practically every one. even In the
thinly settled districts, is familiar
with the boy scout movement, Your
son probably knows scouts as the fel-
lows who wear n snappy uniform, 20
on camping trips and have all sorts of
hikes, songs and jolly games together.
On your part, you may recall how
they helped handle the traffic conges
ton at the last county fair; or how
they assisted In fighting that disns.
trOus forest fire.
That boy of yours He is one Of
the most valuable assets you possess,
isn't he? He looks at you with the
clear eyes of youth; but he will soon
have developed into sturdy manhood.
His hungry young mind reaches out
greedily for food. Is it being fed on
cheap sensationalism or on glorious
ideals? Your boy can feel himself one
with the pioneer heroes of his coun.
trys history; with Kit Carson blazing
n trail through the forest, with Daniel
Boone trapping foxes in the wilder
ness, with Abraham Lincoln, splitting
rails. Your boy can become n pioneer
scout
4 pioneer scout wears the uniform
Of the Boy Scouts of America. He
studies all the fascinating details of
scoutcraft as described In the Boy
Scouts Handbook He learns the
Int M hp
oath. He acquires the necessary
knowledge, takes the various tests
and wins the promotions, awards and
merit badges. How these things APP
peal to a boys romantic heart you can
appreciate only by looking back into
your own childhood. Think how you
would have enjoyed being a scout!
Scouting is one Of the greatest
moral and educational forces operat-
Ing for boys today: In addition to the
scout oath-a simple promise such as
your boy gives his mother, that he will
do his best to do his duty to God and
his country, and to obey the scout law,

The educational element of scouting
Is no less important. The mass of
useful information about indoor and
outdoor occupations that the boy &c
Quires is surprising. All this he learns
by doing-the easiest, most delightful
way possible, and yet the most elf
cient. He follows the scout program
as fascinating game, unaware of the
sound principles on which 1t Is based.
If your boy Is clean, alert young
fellow, the kind who develops into the
red-blooded, vigorous citizen that has
made America the power she Is today;
If you feel that he is missing some
thing of the advantages that boys IN
larger communities take as matter
of course, and If you want him to de
velop his reserve powers to the fullest
extent. then write to the national

All these considerations have been
based on the assumption that the
total impedance resistance to the
flow of an alternating currenD OF
the entire plate circuit existed inter
nally in the tube between the iilamen
and the plate, and that the external
electrical circuit from the plate to
the llament had zero impedance. OF
course, this condition never exists IN
practice. The external plate cir
cult always has hnpedance in it In

that is employed to couple the sue
cessive tubes together.
II is only where the external plate

soon as an impedance is introduced
into the external plate circuit, par,

total "B" battery is available at the

This means that when constant "B"

plate circuit OF u vacuum tube, con.

tween the plate and the filament.
The static characteristic curve
was drawn on the assumption that
tie difference in potential between
the plate and the fament remained
constant, obviously then, when the ex.
ternal plate circuit has other than
zero impedance, the static character
istic curve no longer holds true.
The characteristic curve of tube
having other than zero impedance in
the external plate circuit is the Ny
nnmlc" characteristic. The greater
the variations In plate current, the
greater the variation in the voltage
existing between the plate and the
iilament. If the value of II, the ex.
tcrnal plate impedance, is increased,
the greater will be the variation In
the plate to lilament voltage for the
same variation in plate current.
In Fig, XNNI (2) is represented the
dynamic characteristic of a tube with
Il certain definite value Of Il In the
plate circuit. Curve CD represents
the dynamic characteristic of the
same tube with larger value of X
in the plate circuit. Finally the ex-
IRENE condition is reached, in which
II is made infinitely high and the
dynamic characteristic becomes par
NlIel to the grid voltage axis as In

grid potential would produce no var

plate potential. These would be ana
