Things Worth Remembering.

Never burn vacuum tube filaments

especially to tubes whose flaments are
lighted from dry cell. To do 50 greatly

used to keep moisture out of the insula-
tiou.
The six-volt storage battery lying idle
IN the automobile may be used TO light
the filaments Of the tubes in your receiy-
ing set.
Some deteetor tubes require a grid
leak while others do not. 1t will prob
ably be worth while TO experiment a bit
with different values of leak resistance.
Wooden panels painted with shellac
and lampblack to initiate bakelite are
great source of trouble. Black paint is
nearly as bad.
Aerials attached to trees cause the sig
nails from distant stations TO fade out
quite mysteriously on windy night
The movement OF the tree in the wind
makes the aerial rise and fall. This
movement changes the capacity and CON

Storage batteries, which are to be left
unused for a month or more should be
fully charged before putting away.
Otherwise a white coating forms on the
plates known as sulphate, which is very
harmful to the battery.
The practice of using more plate vol
tage on amplier tubes when the ampIi-
ticatiOn is not increased by their use is
waste of good "B" batteries.
When the voltage of a II" battery
falls to Is volts in a 2213 volt block il
Is time to replace that block with fresh
one.
An aerial can easily be too long. A
single wire more than 100 feet is usually
too long for broadcast work.
-Four wires 30 feet long do not work

MONTPELIER, Dec. 30.-Secretary
of State Black has received notice from
the registrar of motor vehicles for the
state of Massachusetts. that new regu-
lations concerning rear lights on motor
vehicles viii go into effect January j
and that these regulations will be en-
forced.
The regulations require that the lamp
be so adjusted that il will plainly illumi-
nate the number plate as 10 make it
readable from distance of at least fifty

Mr. Black says that motor vehicle driv-
ers from this state operating In the state
of Massachusetts. should bear this III
mind and govern themselves accordingly
The law of Vermont concerning rear
lamps Is as follows
There shall be displayed on the
rear of an automobile or motor vehi-
Gle a red light visible from the rear
TIE rays of such rear light shall
shine upon the number plate carried
on the rear of such automobile or
motor vehicle in such manner as to
render the numerals thereon visible

With hundreds of broadcasting sta

radio fans are familiar with all the diff
cuities that are encountered. When
either the A. battery or the b bat
terry runs down, there is trouble and the
trouble is not so easy for the amateur
to find. When tubes burn out, there is
additional expense-and just before they
burn out there is a great deal of distor-
ton, which prevents the hearer from
receiving q perfect rendition of what is
going on at the broadcasting station.
In the case of the crystal set however

which is so Characteristic of regenera-
tive tube sets.
Many raaO enthusiasts have several
types of sets in their homes and it is
