RAILROADS PROTEST
Three Carriers Claim Not to Be
 One Line

Montgomery. May s.-tspecial.>- Protests were made to the public service commission today by the Southern. Alabama Great Southern and Northern Alabama railroads against the proposal of the Alabama Traffic association to have the three railroads regarded as one line, thus providing for one line hauls or ship ments over the three railroads.
 R. J. Rixey, counsel for the rail- roads, and R. L. Simpson, assistant freight traffic manager of the South ern, testified that the three railroads are separate corporations and that the business of the three railroads is handled separately.
 The commission decided to hold a formal hearing on the question, be- ginning August II. This decision was reached after representatives of the railroads had informed 1t that the presentation of the testimony of the railroads alone on the subject would take one week.

CHEVROLET TEST
 SHOWS RESULTS
Remarkable Mileage Made by All Models = Thirty-six
 Miles Best

The Chevrolet mileage test held by the Edwards Motor company during last week proved quite a success Some very remarkable records were made. one of the largest of which was made by & 490 sedan, 1920 model. with total mileage of BPS miles per gallon.
 More than S5 contestants entered for the number of prizes donated by various firms and representative citizens Ar average mileage for the entire contest was 27.3 miles per gal lon. The Edwards Motor company have always contended that an aver age mileage of 23 to 25 miles was made by tho Chevrolet, regardless of what models were taken into con sideration.
 The best record was 36 miles per gallon, made by 490 touring car. 1920 model. using Woco-Pep.
 The course that was chosen was one over hills with practically every difficulty of the road taken into con- sideration. After the contest, a new car was taken over the course and the different mileage records checked to make sure that no mis- take had been made.
 Edwards Motor company are the local distributors of the Chevrolet.

Body Inductance Described

Question. What is meant by body inductance?" D. W. l..
 Answer. In radio reception the body has peculiar characteristic of acting as. an inductance of very great resistance, or as capacity of low value. As an inductance you can obtain results by disconnecting the aerial from the apparatus and holding the aerial in one hand and touching the antenna terminal of your apparatus with the other hand. In the case of nearby broadcasting stations. where you are using the vacuum tube detector with two stages of amplification, fairly good loud reception can be obtaned by placing the body in a series with the antenna and the apparatus. To do so. however, is merely an experiment andsit has no value, as it materially reduces the strength of the signals. The body will exert capacity eff feet if the hands are placed across certain of the terminals in your set. For instance, if you place your fin ger on the grid and plate terminals of your vacuum tube the body will act as condenser, giving slight feed-back from the plate< circuit to the oscillatory circuit, and slight increase in strength will be observed on vacuum tube sets that are not re- generative in themselves. This body capacity effect is sometimes the cause of a great deal of inconven- fences Particularly in sets using vacuum tubes, where the set itself is not ground shielded The annoy ance consists of the fact that after the operator of the set has com pleted the tuning arrangements and withdraws his hand the whole set Is thrown out of adjustment. This is caused by the removal of the small amount of capacity represented by the body out of the circuit when the operator withdraws his hand.

One RheostaIs for Two Tubes

Question. I want to add two stages of amplification to my set. How about using one rheostat for both amplifier tubes? G. B. P.
 Answer For the amplifying tubes it will be all right to use one rheo- stat for both tubes, but you should use the separate rheostat at all times for the detector tube.

: On Using Loading Coils

Question 1. Using a regenerative receiver, whose wave length Is 175 to 600 meters, what should be used to increase the wave length-a loading coli or an inductance coil? Where should 1t be placed? 2. Using three tubes. detector and two-step anr- plifier. is it necessary to use two "B" batteries to obtain 60 volts? 3. In ad- dition to a loop aerial, which con tains about 70 feet of wire. I have run so feet of insulated copper wire on the concrete balcony outside of our apartment on the eleventh floor. Should connect a lightning arrester; and if so. should I only use the loop as an aerial and ground both this and the outside one onto the arrester?

Using Several Telephones

Question. l. This summer l will
 be at a point on the Jersey coast sixty miles south of New York. Will you kindly tell me exactly what in struments I should have to make a satisfactory receiving set? q now have crystal set-loose- coupler, a
 variable and a fixed condenser and two 1,000- ohm phones.) 2. Does an inverted "L" serial with lead-in from end nearest station have much ad- vantage over an aerial that is not in line with station and whose lead-in is from middle? Is 1t important to have the aerial the same height at each end? 8. Can more than one set of phones be connected on a set sat- isfactorily? How should they be ar ranged? 4. What distinguishes a re- generative set from other sets us- ing batteries? 5. During the tests at 2XJ, at Deal, N. J.. l was able to hear them quite distinctly with my crystal set, although it is about forty miles Were they more power fui than WIZ? I heard also the two-way conversation with the ship.
 Answer. 1. At distance of sixty miles almost any type of vacuum tube detector will give you good re- suits from music. The place where you are going may not be more than fifty miles from Newark, In which case there Is possibility that you may be able to receive WIZ with your crystal set. 2. An invert- ed 'L" type of aerial gives you much better results thanNthe "T' type, but. of course, there are local condi- tions where it is impossible to erect an "L" type of aerial. The value of the TT" type is that it receives equally we'll from all directions. It does not matter if the aerial is not level. In other words. it can be higher at one end than at the other without interfering with its enicien- cy 8. With the crystal detector' you can easily add three pairs oi telephones and you might. under certain circumstances, be able to aoo more. The correct manner to put them in the circuit is in series with each other. Do not, under any cir cumstances, put them in parallel.
 A vacuum tube set is made regener- atiye by means of placing an induc- tance of some particular type in the plate circuit and then placing this inductance in an inductive relation shin with the secondary of your os- cillation transformer In other words. to put it in plain language
 what you need is an adjustable tun' CT, consisting of a number Of turns of wire, placed close to the secon- dary of your set. Its exact posi- tion. with regard to the secondary
 will have to be determined by ex- pertinent 5. While I have always put twenty-five miles as limit foI a crystal detector set. as matter of fact, under some circumstances, il

Auto RuIb as Vacuum ruhe.

Question l. May insulated copper wire No. 14 be used for an aerial? 2. Is an aerial 100 feet long, 35 feet high and a lead-in of about 30 feet correct? 3. By separating the wires in the base of an automobile double filament hulb, may I use 1t as vacuum tube detector, and how should it be hooked up in connection with two amplifying bulbs 2--H. R. S.
 Answer 1. You can use insulated wire for an aerial. but bare wire is much better. 2. The length of the aerial you describe will be all right, but do not make it any longer. 5. Some amateurs have experimented with a double filament automobile bulb, using one filament in the ordi- nary manner. lighting it from a six volt storage battery and then con- meeting the other filament so that it takes the place of a grid. In this case it is necessary to place plate around the outside of the bulb and connect it in exactly the same man. ner as you would connect the plate of any ordinary type of vacuum tube. Although l have never experimented with such bulb myself. I feel quite sure that it cannot be anywhere near as effective as the regular type of detector tube.
