No 8 is the grid condenser-the fixed

THE GRID LEAK.
To make a grid leak take a piece of
stiff cardboard about one inch wide by
two inches long. On this mount two
small binding posts about IL inches
long.
On this mount two small binding posts
about IL inches apart. Take a very
soft lead pencil and draw two or three
lines between the posts and also around
them.
Grid leak Is shown in diagram No

the grid.
The pencil lines act as conductor of
current.
The purpose Is to allow the negative
charge to leak on the grid so that it may
not become clogged up with chargings
that Will reduce the audibnity of the

NEW YORK, April 5.-Many of the big
hotels of New York City are closing Off
entire floors because of the lack Of pat
ronage and their proprietors are issuing
statements ascribing their woes to pro-
hibition. Their contention is that people
are going elsewhere after the theater to
supper, to places where they can get
liquor.
To one who knows the metropolis that
contention is funny. Within the last six
months hundreds of small restaurants
have opened on Manhattan Island and
they are doing excellent business without
the sale of intoxicating liquors.
What happened was this: The public
finally awakened to the fact that 1t is
being outrageously mulcted for food in
the hotel restaurants and simply stayed
away, seeking out the small places in
the side streets. Even guests of the hotels
60 elsewhere to eat.
Another sore point with the public is
tho knowledge that the hotel proprietors
sell the right 60 gOuge tips for the care
Of hats and coats while the guests eat.
The hotels themselves killed the goose
that laid their golden eggs and they have
only themselves to blame for unoccupied
rooms and rows Of empty tables with idle
walters standing around. OF course there
are exceptions and from them We hear
no complaints.
To the southeast Of Chatham Square,
along Madison street and adjacent cross
streets is the Greek quarter OF the

Near East imports may be procured.
For several blocks in any direction the
impression is that OF being in a Greek
city.

Installing Vacuum Tube Detector


We are indebted to the April issue Of
Radio for the following concise descrip-
ton of ether waves:
"There Seems to be a general impress
sion among people who are not ac-
quainted with the principles of wireless
communication that the air is the me-
dunn by which wireless signals are
transmitted. They hear the received sig
mails as sound and naturally assume that
the receiving instrument has the faculty
for picking up sound waves sent out
from the transmitting station. This is,
Of course, not so.
The medium of transmission of wire
less signals is the so-caIed ether.
| something which is believed to exist
throughout all space. Scientists cannot
describe It with certainty nor give def
mite proof of its existence, but they as
sumo that it must exist in order to ac-
count for the phenomena of light, heat
and certain electrical effects. For in
stance, We receive light and heat from
the sun, a distance of some 93,0O0O0O
miles. Now those light and heat rays
must be carried by the air. Several hun
dred miles above the surface of the earth
there is no air. Therefore light and
heat waves from the sun must be car
ried by some other medium, which is
called the ether. Observations show that
the ether must exist between the mole
cules Of all matter; in fact, the earth
rushing through it at a velocity of thou
sands Of miles an hour causes no dis
placement Of the ether; In other words,
the ether passes through the earth like
air through a sieve further, that it is
of an extremely elastic nature, so much
so that a disturbance of the ether at
any point Immediately spreads out in
all directions just as the sound waves
spread out when gun is fred.
Air waves travel about I 100 feet per
second while ether waves have a velocity
Of about 10000 miles miles per second
This terrific velocity, which according to
the Einstein theory is the greatest that
can be attained in the universe can be
quite accurately measured. Light, heat
and wireless waves are all forms of
ether waves. You can create sound
waves By making a noise You can
create water waves by tossing a stone
into water. The function of the wire
less. receiver is to detect those ether
waves and change them to sound waves
Whlch can De heard and understood"
Harrison Durant of the Hatfield Elec-
trio Company, addressing a meeting of
the Indiana Society of Radio Engineers,
advocated close cooperation between the
Indianapolis broadcasting stations so
that there would be no interference when
one or the other of the stations are
broadcasting its program. Mr.. Durant
urged a very careful study and CO.

very commendable suggestions for carry
ing on the junior branch were made both
by Mr.. Durant and T. B. Hatfield. Mr..

No sooner is the radio fan st VT his

thinking about improvements. He wants
to cover a greater range with his little
instrument He wants to hear more
clearly.
He finds the way out
BY substituting a vacuum tube d tector
for the galepa. This gives approximately
three times the receiving distance and
much greater audibility.
But the amateur cannot make the
vacuum tube. 1t is too complicated, con-

Day after day the question is being
asked all over the United States and
Canada: What is the reasons for the
phenomenal success of Tanlac? Why
do we hear so much about it? and
Why do Tanlac sales keep increasing
every year. when other medicines
seem to have short lived popularity
and are then forgotten?
The answer is simple enough. The
test of time has proven to people all
over the American continent that
Tanlac always produces most crafty
ing results and that the remarkable
relief it brings seems to be more per-
manent than ever before believed pos
sible.
Tens OF thousands of persons, every
where, who took it when it was first
introduced six years ago, report that
they are still enjoying excellent health
and MILLIONS of American homes are
now using Tanlac as the family medi-
cine after first trying it out thorough
ly and proclaim 1t the Worlds Great

ages and in all walks of life afflicted

publicly that they have been fully re-
