INSTRUCTIONS FOR
TROUBLE SHOOTING
How to Detect and Remedy the
Open Circuit, Short Circuit
and Leakage.

Radio circuits are subject to the
same Ills that the ordinary power
circuits are subject to. However, to
cure them is not such q difficult task
as might be supposed, especially II
some logical procedure Is used.
/ II q receiver Is well put together in
the first place and all contacts and
other parts gone over once In a while,
there IL no reason why there should
be any trouble. But the human be-
Ing is prone to err, so that for the
"once In a while" that is liable to hap
pen, this article will be devoted to
the explanation Of what might happen
TO simple receiver and the best way
TO fix II.
The usual troubles of the receiver
fall under one Of the following three
headings:
IAN open circuit.
PA short circuit.
3-Leakage.
An open circuit can most easily be
detected by means Of series lamp.
Nearly every one has available the or
dinary ITO volt lighting circuit. Take
an ordinary extension cord and cut
one wire at any convenient place and
use these two ends as test clips or
tips. The extension cord is plugged
into the house lighting circuit at any
convenient outlet and when the two
cut ends are held together the lamp
will light as the circuit Is closed.
When the tips are held open the cir
cult Is "open" and the light will go
out.
Suppose 1t Is desired to test for an
open circuit in tuning coil. Connect
one tip to one end Of the winding and
the other test clip to the slider. AS the
The L'Anse sentinel., 1922-06-30

series and to check either one sep
arately, short circuit the tips of the
cord leading to the other receiver just
outside Of the case. Should 1t appear
that there is an open circuit In the
cord, short circuit both receivers
where the cord enters the case and
with a buzzer or lamp connected to
the tips on the end Of the cord test
for an open circuit.
Care should be exercised by the
operator when adjusting crystal de-
tector to see that his fingers do not
touch the surface of the crystal or the
contact point of the little spring. The
oil secretion that exists In the skin
together with the dust that 1t collects
will render crystal detactor inopera-
tive by the insulating film that 1t will
cause to form on the portion of the
crystal surface that is touched. Should
the surface of the crystal get dirty
as evidenced by the received signals
becoming weaker and weaker, try
cleaning the crystal with alcohol and
little brush. Or If this does not seem
to remedy the trouble, chip off old sur
face so that an entirely new surface
is presented to the spring.
The L'Anse sentinel., 1922-06-30
AMATEURS SHOULD PLAY FAIR
Radio Inspector Schmidt Urges That
They Learn the Laws and
Regulations.

Nine out of every ten radio fans are
good sports, but the tenth is either a
fan with poor Judgment or 'rotter."
1t Is up to the amateurs to see that
restrictions are not imposed upon
them, by playing fair, says Radio In
spector l.. Il. Schmidt of the Ninth
district.
This can be done by observing GER
tain cautions and by becoming posted
on the radio laws and regulations. A
copy Of these regulations may be OBJ
tanned from the superintendent Of doc
uments, government printing office,
Washington, ID. c., for Is cents. 1t 10
worth while to spend Is cents in order
to be square shooter in the radio
game.
The great trouble with amateurs Is
that when they want to send mes
sage around corner they put on all
the power they have with the hope
that some one in Texas might pick up
their message. The object should be
to use the minimum amount Of power
to get the message to its destination.
"In all circumstances. except In case
of signals or radiograms relating to
vessels in distress, all stations shall
use the minimum amount of energy
necessary to carry out any communi-
cation desired"
Amateurs should keep their wave
length to 200 meters.
They should use pure wave" or,
as the regulations state, IF the send
ing apparatus Is of such a character
that the energy is radlated in two or
more wave lengths, more or less sharp
ly defined, as indicated by a sensitive
wave meter, the energy in no one Of
the lesser waves shall exceed 10 per
centum of that In the greater"
The wave must be sharp" AS to
this the regulations state: "At all sta
tions the logarlthmlc decrement per
complete oscillation In the wave trains
emitted by the transmitter shall not
exceed two-tenths when sending dis
tress signals or signals and messages
relating thereto"
Amateurs frequently are at fault In
calling stations too often. The law
states that they can call three times,
send I'd g" once and sign their station
call three times; but often the anna
teurs will send the calls q dozen or
more times.

facts in mind, says the Department of
Agriculture, the farmer should be able

care must be taken In packing this

of protein In 1t which causes 1t to

Most people have an idea that gar

fact, the killing Of weeds Is just one

United States Department Of Agricul-

true where the land Is poorly drained
and waterlogged. The water keeps out
the air and the roots cannot feed the
plants.
Cultivation has another object, In
that 1t breaks up the soil particles and
makes plant food available for the
feeding rootlets Of the plants. Many
persons, however, make the mistake Of
cuitivating too deeply, and by so do

II 1t is not cultivated, crust forms, the
surface bakes, and the crops are In

best to give the soil thorough soak

dry enough, and apply no more water
until absolutely necessary.
The hoe and the steel rake are the
most important tools for cultivating
the small garden. On larger scale
wheel hoe or horse cultivator may
be used to advantage. The wheel-hoe
outfits are provided with a number of
different attachments adapted for the
different types Of work to be per-
formed. These implements have the
advantage that one can go over the
garden very rapidly and break up the
surface Of the soil in comparatively
short time. 1t Is generally necessary,
however, to follow with the hoe and
the fingers to remove any weeds that
have not been destroyed by the wheel
cultivator. Even where horse-drawn
tools are occasionally used, the great
