um tube of today marked a very Inn
portant step In the progress of the
radio art. The Fleming valve, how
ever, in its original form was not much
better than other forms of rectifiers
then In use and, owing TO the greater
raggedness and ease of manipulation
of the latter, did not come into gener-
al use as detector.
DR.. Lee DeForest, an American,
greatly improved the Fleming valve
by adding a third electrode called the
grid which served the function of
control element and thus made it pos
sible TO utilize the feeble incoming sig.
nal currents to control more powerful
local currents. The three electrode
vacuum tube of DeForest is the tube
used so extensively today.
The third element which is called a
grid and from which the three-elec-
trode Vacuum tube derives its name
was placed BY 1eForest between the
filament and the plate in the path of
the electrons. The grid is a perfor-
ated plate or mesh of fine wire through
the openings of which the eleetrons
must pass in their Journey from the
filament to the plate.

The characteristic curve Of three
electrode vacuum tube is shown in
Fig. VIII. This diagram shows the
relation of grid potential to plate
current, assuming that the filament
temperature and plate voltage remain
constant.
1t can be seen from the curve that
by applying negative potential Of
value E to the grid, the plate cur
rent can be reduced TO zero. The neg
alive charge on the grid viii have the
effect of a negative potential E with
respect TO the filament, making the
negative charge so strong around the
filament that the electrons cannot
leave it. On the other hand, If posi-
tive potential of value F be. applied

sizes the Necessity of Killing
These Deseaae Carriers Now.

The Department Of Entomology of
the Utah Agricultural College Is urg-
ing most mistakenly inst now that an
energetic campaign be waged against
the common house fly, or typhoid fly
as 1t should be called. 1t is most TIM
portant that flies be killed in early
summer. One female killed In June
may mean millions less to be killed
In August. Special care should be
given to the breeding places Of flies,
and all possible breeding places should
be cleaned up.
The house fly breeds readily in al
most any decayiHg vegetable matter,
but not In animal flesh as Is so often
asserted. Horse manure is the fay-
orite material selected by the house
fly for egg deposition aRd supports the
growth of perhaps ninety-fiye per cent
of all housefIy larvae. Lacking horse
manure, the fly usually selects the
excerta of human beings, pigs, or
poultry. The dishwater and refuse
thrown out the hackdoors Of many
homes sometimes afford a convenient
breeding place for flies.
The danger of the spread Of conta-
g1ous diseases by the housefly can be
greatly reduced by wide awake cam
paign against this dangerous pest.

NEW STADIUMS TO ACCOMMODATE MONSTER CROWDS

New York, Dec. 22.-Growing popular interest in outdoor sports throughout the metropolitan area, es- pecia1ly in baseball and football. will result in largely increased accommo- datfons for spectators in 1923, ac- cording to present indications. Con serVat1ve estimates pace at 800 900 the total simultaneous seating capa- city which scores of fields and a few larger stadia will have when plans now under way are completed.

A 400 yards cinder path will offer facilities for track and field sports, while football and boxing also figure as attractions at this field. Eb- bets Field grounds of the Brooklyn National League club, with seating capacity of 22,O00, has been used for boxing and occasionally football.

Work on the playing fields is expected to start in the spring, with the possibility that football may be played there in

 Thoroughbred blood is infused in ~r1me measures into Hackney, and Morgan horses. Thoroughbred is now the most used of any hot blood ed bEed for the improvement of saddle. cavalry, hunting and polo horses.
 Down through tht ages the race .sourse has been a fiery crucible, in which horses possessing the desired qualities in the greatest measure are separated from those less endowed Successive races are required to dem onstrate the staying quality and en- durance of horses.
 There are only two things in the world which will arrest the attention of all men. beautiful women ana beautiful horses. All over the world men watch with interest because they have inherited from the fore fathers this instinct to advance en- durance gameEess and extraordinary speed of fine horses.
