it. do not see any reason why you should not be able to obtain good results from the 75-foot aerial, pro- vided it is clear and sufficiently high. The wave length control in the tyne of set that you describe is effected by varying the number of turns in the primary of the varic- coupler. The tuning of the grid va- riometer also Is necessary in this re- spect.
 With normal usage the 'B" bat tery should last 1000 hours. The life of storage battery depends upon the amount of care 1t Is given. With proper charging and care it should last for years. It will be all right to separate the variometers by the va rio-coupler, provided you make the leads to these three instruments as short as possible. although sep aration by the bulb will be much better
 In tuning the wave length con trol is obtained in the manner that I have described, but you will find that the grid variometer adjustment is very critical. In other words, the slightest variation of this instru-- ment will throw out or bring in station. If you suffer from inter- ference, this can be reduced to a great eAlt1l Dy varying the COuDllng of the yario-coupler. The plate variometer increases the strength of the signal and should be at that point just telow the position where the set begins to howl The rheostat con- trolling the filament of the tube must also be carefully adjusted. If you pass toe mIch current through the filament It will result in distorted
 Batteries for super-Regenerntor
 Question-Referring to the single tube regenerative receiver, could an eight-volt storage battery be used for both "A" and 70" batteries by tapping off at four volts? Could a 132-volt storage battery be used for both "A" and e" batteries? wha. size and material wire to be used for the loop aerial? Can use No cop per bare? Could I use my present 1e0-foot aerial to bette advantage. located as I am at least 75 miles from broadcasting stations and no receiving stations within five miles? Y. s. E.
 Answer-The e" battery is for the purpose of putting negative bias on the grids of the tubes. What ,s needed. therefore. Is exactly the same thing that is needed on the plate cir cult. namely. voltage and very little current. Under the circumstances. would strongly urge two flashlight cells conhected in series with each other and the negative terminal joined to the grid. I would not use the storage battery. You can light the filament by taking tap off your s2-volt lighting system, but there may te disagreeable hum when you are charging the battery

WAY TO HOLD A REVOLVER

From Adventure Magazine.
 In order to get the best results tho trigger should be sdueezed off grad uaily, like closing the hand on an orange to squeeze the juice out of it. Hold the revolver lightly in the hand and gradually tighten up all over the grip and in so doing the trigger will be pulled so easily and regularly that there will not be the jerking that destroys the aim.
 Also, here's another kink that just worked out on myself: pulling the trigger with the last joint of the finger = the end joint l mean, of course. Don't let any part of the fin ger touch the side of the revolver frame.

BOYS ARE ASKING
 MANY QUESTIONS.
Valuable Information Being Spread by e-HeraId
 Demonstrations

On the last radio day we had a big crowd of boys who seemed to have more objects than one in com
 ing down. They not only wanted to learn how to build The Age-Herald radio set, but they also were anxious to ask questions about audions ana amplifiers. We are indeed glad to know that these boys are taking ad-
 vintage of these Saturday radio schools and we want as many of you
 as can come down next Saturda,- IT there is something wrong with your set that has got you puzzled, bring 1t down on the next radio day t1August 5 and we will be very glad to help you with it.
 Last Saturday the boys seemed to iehe very enthusiastic and offered several suggestions concerning the l.construction of the set from the ex- ,perience they had had in making tthese sets from the instructions they shave received at these demonstra- tons given down here at The Age Herald building every Saturday morning at Il o'clock
 Richard Shaffer, Fifteenth ave- nue, north, was the lucky boy, and got complete Age Herald receiv-
 ing set. He seemed to be "ttclSled t1 death" over 1t and as all the others could hardly wait to put 1t up. which he did. the first night he got it.i Richard called us up Sunday morn ing to tell us how well the set worked the first ight and how much he appreciated it.
 Again next Saturday we are going to give away another -Heraldt radio receiving set absolutely free to the boy who holds the lucky number. These sets have snown themselves to be very well made and well worth making or trying for. Come down here next Age Herald radio day-- you will be sure to learn how to build The Age Herald radio set. and you might win the complete set

The best way to entertain a man
is not to entertain him at all. Don't
make yourself a four-husher by CIV
ing him a better dinner than you
always have. But give him what
you have cheerfully. Then, too,
your guest knows you've got to
work for a living and have lots OF
things to do, so go an do them, tell
ing your friend to do exactly what
most pleases him till you get nm
ished.
Don't be afraid to say what you
think and don't agree if you don't
agree, but don't expect your guest
to agree with you because you're
entertainin' him. Just widen out.
Let love an tolerance be King and
Queen of the home while the guest
is with you, and then maybe you
won't be able to throw them out
after he's gone, 8 !.

And judging from the atti- tude of the French on other matters now under discussion it would cause no surprise if the simple decree" were invoked whenever thought ne cessary. Yet the Franco American Chamber of Commerce is kicking about the proposed tariff law of the United States and lot of free traders and internationalists in this country are in sympathy with the chambers attitude Fortunately the majority now in control of the American gov efnment will act for the best inter- ests of this country and eventually all this talk of making the United States the packhorse for Europe will simmer to nothingness.

RED CROSS WILL GIVE AID

It is very seldom in an Alaskan town that anyone ever suffers for want of the necessities of life. Real poverty is hardly known in the Alaskan towns But now and then some family or per son is in want. There are two means of providing for unfortunate persons. One is the application to the District Court for a loan from the Indigent Fund A certain portion of money de- rived from Alaska taxes is set aside by the Treasury department for the use of United States Judges in Alaska for the relief of people in needy circum- stances.
 In addition to this aid the Red Cross in the various communities have fund for the relief of needy families. The Seward Chapter has several hundred dollars on hand which can be used for this purpose. If any person in Seward will bring a needy case to the atten- tion of the officers of the local chapter of the Red Cross they will receive i'm mediate relief.

Another organization has been matched known as the Workers Party rof the United States, although tis lead CTS are men known to have never sweat with honest toil The purpose of this organization is "the abolition of capital through the establishment of a government by the working class and for the working class-a workers republic in America" Debs ought to be handed the honorary chairmanship. The report of the first meeting held in New York states that delegates in at tendance were from the American La Dor Alliance, the Workers Council, the Jewish Workers Federation, the Arbei- ter Biidungs Verein, the Finnish So- cialist Federation, the Hungarian Workers' Federation the Italian Wor- kers'! Federation, the Italian Workers Federations and other organizations of alsimilar character. The meeting was featured by three fights, some acrimo- nious eXtemporary remarks from the floor and the obvious presence of a central organization which carried it's important points by stifling all opposi- tion. After adjournment the Old Flag still flew, the Constitution was on the job and working Americans were too busy to do more than glance at the headlines of the meeting.
