The Liberian loan is the unfinish-

future of the Borah coal commission

EXPERT ADVICE ON RADIO
No. 72.-What's Your Radio Problem?

.. What is the highe. wave
length that an amateur Is allowed to
send out?
A. Amateurs are now allowed 10
transmit on any wave length on O.
below 200 meters. This regulation
transmission by amateurs on wave
lengths up to PTS meters.
@. What time in the evening do the
radio concerts start and how long do
they last?
A. The broadcasting usually be-
gins its program about s o'clock in
the evening and it lasts until about
1890.
Q. The other evening I had oc-
casion to throw my lightning switch,
and as I did so 1 noticed a little
sparkle as the switch closed. 1 i'm
mediately opened the switch a lit
tie distance. and again the sparks
jumped across. My batteries were
not connected with the antenna and
1 cannot understand where the cur
rent came from. Some one suggested
that it might be static.
A. Undoubtedly static caused the
sparks. Static is natural electricity
that accumulates In the different
strata of the ether, and when your
antenna is not grounded 1t acts as
ural voltages until a high voltage
Is accumulated. If the switch is
not too far open this voltage will
discharge to ground in regular
intervals in accordance with the time
1t takes for the antenna to charge up
to the voltage necessary to jump the
gap at the switch.
@. Will you give me data for a
good filter circuit for my new alter
mating current radio telephone?
A. The filter circuit as described
in the illustration will help you, as it
is simple and easy to set up, and
good results will be obtained by its
use
The materials you need are: (a)
Pa Henry choke coils: (b) 2.1 MID.
1890 volt paper condensers.
This filter circuit should be con-
nected directly across the plate volt
age supply.

@. What is the most sensitive
kind Of mineral to use as a detector
Of wireless waves? l am now using
silicon and have been told that 1
might get better results from perikon.
A. The best mineral that you can
use Is Galena crystals. It is more
sensitive and fairly easy. to adjust.
You may buy tested crystals which
will guarantee satisfaction for about
35 cents each.
Q. When 1 turn my variable con-
denser 1 get a scratching and scrap
ing noise that Is annoying. l do not
know enough about electricity to be

A. The trouble is probably in the
condenser itself. Take the con-
denser out of the set, and hold it up
to the light; look through, in between
the plates, and slowly revolve the

with one Of the stationary plates.
You can then straighten the crooked
plate with a knife blade.
Q. have a number of radio in

DETECTION WITH GRID
CONDENSER.

When a grid condenser is connected
in series with the tuned circuit and
flament terminal 1t Is customary
and advisable to place it as near the
grid as possible. In this case the
normal potential Of the grid will de-
pend upon the arrangement of the
circuit. Since. for reasons to be ex-
planned, a grid leak resistance Is nor
mally shunted across the grid con-
denser, this will also have an effect
upon the normal grid potential. Let
us consider the arrangement shown
in the drawing. The grid Is con-
