New Apparatus and Devices
A New Regenerative Receiver and Ampli6er

Ralph Brown, Radio Engineer

Many persons using radio receiving
sets for listening in" to the broad
casts have experienced annoyance
from spark telegraph stations Some
times this is due to the fact that the
interfering station is sending on the
same wave length as the broadcasted
concert or lecture. Sometimes it is
due to the fact that the telegraph
though working on a different wave
length. A good deal more often than
necessary, however, 1t is because the
receiver does not tune SHARPLY"
enough. A direct coupled circuit can
hardly be expected to be as selective
ceivers incorporate the former for
the sake Of extreme simplicity of op-
GRAFTON. In the receiver illustrated
the inductfvely coupled circuit is
used, but the coupling between pri-
mary and secondary coils is fixed at
the value found best for maximum
signal strength and freedom from
spark telegraph interference. By
making the coupling fixed inductive
an unnecessary adjustment is elimi-
mated. The result is a receiver which
is very simple, indeed, to operate.
The tickler coil is small. to avoid too
great regeneration and consequent
large enough, however, to provide
for all the regeneration desirable. A
small, variable secondary condenser
IL shunted across the secondary coil,
whose induoeance is non-adjustable,
except when a loading coil rs used.
Tuning of the secondary is, there
fore. accomplished only with this
condenser, and the fact that the ca
pacity is small and used with a com.

Expert Advice on Radio
No. ls-To Increase Wave Lengths of Crystal Set

you can use any Of tho loading coils
by merely throwing over . switch or
pushing in a plug.
Just as coils Of this sort will in
crease the maximum wave length of
set, 30 condensers will reduce the
wave length. II your Set receives long
waves, but cannot be tuned to shorter
waves, you can remedy the trouble
by using variable condenser in the
aerial circuit already described. And
Just as you can arrange loading coils
which may be switched or plugged
out or In. according to reQuires:snts,
SO you can arrange a variable COM
denser to be connected or discon-
nected at will. depending whether you
wish to increase or decrease the wave
length Of your set.
By using both loading coils and
condenser with multiple-point
switch. an almost endless number of
variations may be secured. AS shown
in the drawing. you can use the set
without either loading coils or con-
denser. or with condenser and with
out loading coils. or with loading
coils and no condenser. or with both
loading coils and condenser.
Coils Easily Made.
Simple loading coils are easily
made in a few minutes. and 1t Is well
n
little experimenting with the various
sizes will enable you to determine
which ones are needed in order to
bring In all the stations you want to
hear.
Do not think. however, that leading
coils really increase the distance at
which you can hear. Increasing the
wave length does not increase dis
tance. 1t simply brings in signals
you have not heard previously. owing
to the fact that your set was not
adjusted or attuned to them. More
over, the fact that, with a loading
coil you hear signals from sending
stations much father away, does not
prove that you will hear music from
stations still farther off. 1t simply
shows that you are getting long
wave lengths. which are far more
powerful than the shorter wave
lengths of the broadcasting stations
The distance at which you can hear
with crystal set depends upon its
sensitiveness, and while a vacuum
tube set is far more sensitive than
any crystal set and must be used If
you expect to get music and CONVEX
sation from stations more thac
twenty-five miles away, still, vcu can
add a great deal to the se:,sitiveness
of your crystal set by making better

OF tuning" tho long waves from the
large stations, pass unnoticed and
unheard over the asriais used for
ordinary receiving sets. Only the
shorter and medium sized waves are
p.oked up. II one wishes merely to
listen to the, broadcasting stations
and to amateurs, this is an advantage,
for there II no need Of tuning out

But . great many people want TO
pick up tho longer waves from the
lager stations In order to hear the
doc and dash code messages. This may
be done. either by increasing the
length Of the aerial so II will re-
fpond to long waves. or by increasing
tds stse Of the tuning coil or induc-
tsnce. which amounts to practically
the same thing. When you lengthen
or shorten the coil you really length

II you use a longer aerial (and you

An sHehary coil cannot; be varied
sufrd1ontly to do this and so coils

Those are simple coils Of either in

and connected between the aerial and
the regular coil. In other words, they
are aerials wound about a tube or
core.
Functions Of Loading Coil.
II you wish to pick up the long
waves, you merely have to connect
a loading coil between your lead-in
and the tuning coil, while II you wish
to get the music from the broadcast
ing stations the loading coil Is dis
connected. and the ordinary tuning
coil used. The loading coil may be so
constructed that it. too, can be va
ried. either by swapping the wires of
or on different turns of the coil, or
by means of taps and a switch
This method. however, necessitates
two separate tuning adjustments and

loading coils of different sizes, which
may be quickly plugged or switched
out or in the circuit. as shown in the

Hiah1Oaus of Progress

THERE is no better evidence of Ameri
cas- material progress in the last dec
ade or so than the increase of good
roads. The country now has upwards of one
hundred and fifteen thousand miles of paved
or surfaced highways, most of which are Of
comparatively recent construction; and when
the system contemplated by the Federal Aid
road act is completed, the total mileage will
be one hundred and eighty thousand.
This, authorities say, tops the record of
the whole world and of all history. Not even
the Roman empire at it's greatest boosted so
vast network of good roads, does any
other one nation of the present age. We still
have far to go, however, ere we attain the
uniform excellence of western Europe's high
way systems, which have been long genera
tions and centuries in the making.
When President-Elect Zachary Taylor in
the year 1S49 left his plantation home in
Louisiana for the journey to Washington he
travelled by steamboat up the Mississippi and
the Ohio to Wheeling, whence he crossed the
mountains in a stagecoach along the National
Road to Cumberland, Maryland. There he
took train for Baltimore, at which point he
changed cars for the capital. This National
Road, which was the one extensive highway
along his entire route had been started in
1912, and by slow stages had been built as
far as western Indiana, not many years be-
fore President Taylor's election.
None of the manifold developments which
the seventy-odd ensuing years have brought
to pass have been of more practical moment
nication. The difference between the nation
of 1S49 and the nation of 1922 is, largely
the difference between land with few great
arteries of travel, and land with more than
one hundred and fifteen thousand miles OF
good roads.

PLAYING WITH HUBBY

registered the cynical thought that IL he
| were like ninety-nine out of a hundred men
it wouldn't be very long before he left
his cheese-paring wife to hide away in
her stocking the pennies she sk1mped out of
the housekeeping money and he would find
some other woman to play with him who
had no aversion to spending money.
For the vamps are always on the watch
tower looking out for that particular type
OF men-the middle-aged man who. has
made his fortune, and who wants to enjoy
the fruits of his labor, and who is lone
some because his wife won't come along,
and have a good time with him.
That's where the predatory woman makes
her winning, and when the wife loses out,
because every man has to have some woman
to spend his money upon. There is hardly
anything that man wants for himself. A
few ugly tubular clothes; car, a place
to eat, and sleep. And that is about all
that money will buy him individually. The
real fun he gets out/of spending money
is in buying laces, and satins, and furs,
and jewels for some woman. In giving
her the background of lovely home. In
taking her to places of amusement, and
seeing her eyes shine with enjoyment, and
her lips curve with joy, and having her
shower him with thanks and appreciation
and gratitude.
But if the woman haggles with him over
the price of everything she punctures his
little red balloon and it falls as flat as a
pancake
And the next time the man spends his good
money it is on some woman who gets hun
dred per cent of fun out of every dollar,
not one who experiences the agony of death
in counting every cent. Therefore, the wife
who is the skeleton at the feast, who con-
tinually reminds her husband that he can't
afford whatever he is doing, is qualifying
for the neglected wife class. She'll soon
find THAT she is of the wives who's is
left at home when her husband goes on a
pleasure trip.
Most wies realize that it is their duty to
be their husbands helpmate What they
do not understand is that it is equally their
duty to be their husbands playmates. 1t
is up to the good wife to help husband
save, anG it is equally up to her to help
him spend
"A woman can find all Of her amuse-
ments all of her excitements and thrills
and diversions in the small circle of her
home and family. A man can't. He must
have outside pleasures, and if his wife re-
fuses to enter into these, he soon finds that
he can have a very good time without her.
The moral of all of which is that hubby
is going to spend his money on some woman
and have some woman for a playfellow,
anyway, so it had just as we'll be you.

and hadn't a penny between us. Both of
us were energetic and ambitious, and de-
termined to succeed so we rolled up our

every nickel until you could hear the buff

people do if they are willing to pay the
price of success

still time to enjoy ourselves, and we've got
money enough to indulge ourselves in every

We could travel. We could have lovely
cars We could have all the luxuries and
pleasures that we didn't have in our starved
youth, and that I crave. But my wife sim
ply can't realize our changed fortunes
"Dime nursing has become an obsession
with her. The habit of parsimony became
so engrained in our days of poverty that
she cannot break herself of it now that
we are rich. She thinks I am a gutter,
and is miserable over it, because I have
slackened up in my work, and am not eter-
nally at my office as I used to be when I
was clerk fighting to get ahead of the
other clerks. Every time she sees me start
off with my golf clubs she says something
to me about my neglecting my business,

stituted without serious change in the de-
sired effect.
The flowers of this garden are such deli
cately colored blooms as the Darwin tulip,
large, pink variety; white and pale purple
iris; and later, peonies, larkspur, pinks,
candytuft, forget-me-nots sweet william,
and lavender. The color scheme is soft.
No gay red or yellow blossoms are admitted
to this pastel group of flowers
The west garden is laid out along lines
similar to those of the east plot. Here,
however, roses are the only flowers fea-
tured. Spring bulbs are put in to brighten
the Enclosure before the roses bloom. At
present there is a thickly blooming border
of white poets eye narcissuses, but by the
middle of May the bulbs will be gone and
red, pink and pale yellow roses will begin
to bloom. A few of the varieties which
adorn the White House rose garden are
pink Killarney, pink radiants, yellow sun
burst.
Rose Garden Arch
The attraction in this garden, aside from
the roses is an arch at the far end, formed
by the privet of the hedge. English ivy on
the lattice beneath this arch forms a soft
background for small statue. Here again
economy is noticeable in White House man
agement. The plan called for marble
statue, but plaster of Paris had to be sub
stituted to fit the fund available. The
statue, graceful flute boy, is now under
going a spring renovation before it is set
out for the garden season.
Between the garden hedge and the house
runs beautifully laid out walk that is real
ly continuation of the rose garden Eight
rose trees line the grass on either side of
the walk and a privet arch forms the gate
way at either end. This is called the Presi-
dents Walk, because it is a short outdoor
route from the executive offices to the White
House. In fine weather, it is commonly
used by the president in preference to the
corridors.
The gardens are only budding, but the
atmosphere of spring is strong about the
White House. The grounds are in trim Or
der. The Canton magnolia and Towering
ounce trees are at the height of their
blooming. About the fountains and in the
large flower BEDS tulips, jonquils and pan
sizes are in full bloom. The trees all over
the grounds are sending out pale green
shoots. Awnings are being put up over the
south portico, where the Harding family
likes to have tea on a warm afternoon.
And surest sign Of spring at the White
House, the tramp of endless tourist parties,
is heard in it's halls
