RADIO QUIZ
BY G. A. ILER
journal Radio Engineer)

I'm what way will a potentioneter
improve my reception? Can. pow
er amplifier having three tubes be
attached to the six-volt battery and
used at the same time without ia
terfering with the amplification of
the signals and music, or must I buy
another storage battery for the pow
er annplifier? j. c., Atlanta.
Answer. A potentiometer is an
instrument that is connected across
the positive and negative lines OF
the "a" battery and by it's adjust
able section to the "B'' battery, and
gives complete control over the cleo
trical circuits Of the set. 1t has a
balancing effect and steadies recep-
ton end eliminates some Of the 9TH
erwise present hattery noises. The
filaments of the power ampl:fter can
be connected to the same battery as
the filament circuit of the detector
and two steps without in any way
interfering with either circuit. An
extra battery is not at all neces-
sary.
Twill a single wire aerial made
from some old discarded electric
light lines serve as an aerial? Will
it be necessary to scrape the rubber
covering off the wire exposing the
bare copper to obtain the best re-
ception? What is the. best length
aerial to use with a detector and two
step amplifier to which will be at
tached a power amplifier and loud
speaker? Which provides the great.
err factor of safety-a lightning
switch or small lightning arrester?
If lightning should strike the an,
tenna with the set ground on the
water pipes of the house would it
imperil the life of any one who
happened to be touching any part
of the water system? Why is it
necessary to keep the lead-in wire
five inches from the house?"
Answer. Yes. The old electric
lighting line wire will make a good
aerial and it is not necessary to
scrape the rubber covering from it,
as radio waves have a penetrating
power that passes through all sub.
stances with little or no effort. The
rubber insulating material offers ra.
dio vibrations absolutely no resist
ance. An aerial about 100 feet in
length that is erected about twenty
feet. above the surrounding objects
will give the proper features for in
stallation. The greater factor OF
safety is provided by the lightning
arrester because it is always on
duty, whether the instruments are
being used or not. The lightning
switch is only of use when it has
been thrown in place, connecting the
ground and the aerial. If lightning
should strike the antenna there is
no telling just what would happen,
although persons who have made q
life study of electricity say that it
would not do any harm unless the
person provided the lightning an
earlier and more ready grounding
than the pipe. This, however, is al
most impossible. 1t is considered so
safe that the Board of Fire Under
writer's have sanctioned the use of
the water lines in the house for pur-
poses of grounding the aerial. The
object of keeping the wires away
from the walls of the house is to
prevent fire in case heavy charge
of induced lightning is conducted
through the lead-in.

TOLD He Would DIE,
NOW 100 YEARS OLD

NASHVILLE, Tenn, July g.
John B. Murrey, prominent Frank
lin, Tenn, farmer, was told that he
would die within two wears Of tuber-
culosis. But today he is celebrating
his one hundredth birthday. His
grandchildren and great-grandchil-
dren, together with the entire popu.
lation of Williamson county, joined
in honoring the centenarian att a
monster birthday picnic. Governor
ALI Taylor also was guest.
Yesterday, seated in his rocker
close by slow fire that dispelled
the chill of an unusually cool July
day, he recalled, with perfect accu-
racy, events that took place ninety
years ago.
Asked how the managed to live
SO long despite the fact that he
was always frail and has had much
sickness, he replied:
"It was care, prudence, regular
habits, good food and horseback
riding that turned the trick"
Mr.. Murrey declared he has never
gambled. danced, or attended a
theater. He never drings intoxicat.
ing liquor, except for medicinal pur-
poses, and says that altogether he
has never drunk more than half a
gallon in his life. He smoked CT
gars for a while to cure neuralgia,
he said, but they made him so ner-
vous he had to quit.
Mr.. Murrey was kinsman of
President James Buchanan and was
intimately acquainted with James
K. Polk, Andrew Jackson, Grover
Cleveland, Andrew Johnson and
other men prominent in public life.
The centenarian was, for many
years, prominent in politics and held
several political offices.

Mrs. Ward, wife of the accused,
