Radio "Squeal' Can
Be Used for Tuning


Music and Speech Can Be Heard Best
Just Below Howl, Says
Binns.
New York, July 6,-How the radio
beginner who owns a regenerative re-
oeiving set, instead of being dismayed
and discouraged by hswling and
squealing noises that come from his
outfit, can make valuable use of these
very noises in "tnning in," is told by
Jack Binns, famous wireless hero and
writer, in the July issue of Popular
Science Monthly.
Invariably" says Binns, "the
squealing noise is due to the manipu-
latfon Of the set by the novice. If you
pass too much current through the
detector and amplifier vacuum tubes
you will always get bowling or squeal-
ing.
"This brings me to an important
tip, which is this:
"Music and speech are received
most strongly and most clearly at the
adjustment just below the squealing
or kissing point Of your set. Don't
forget that.
Here is another important thing to
remember: If your set has WERNER
adjustment handle, you can eliminate
all Kissing and squealing by carefully
and very slowly adjusting this han
Ole until the kissing disappears.
zone of the peculiar things you will
experience about the Kissing is this:
If you turn the vernier handle around
you will find that the Kissing varies in
its tone. In other words, it will starr
from the bottom and 60 to the top of
the scale. Then it will stop, and a
little farther on will start from the
top Of the scale and 60 down to the
bottom. The point to aim for in the
reception Of music and speech is the
point between the time the kissing
reaches the top of the scale and the
time is starts to descend. This is the
best adjustment you can get, and it is
known as the critical point

The Drag of the Dead Letter

An examination of even q few hun
dred dead letters affords curious
examples of the carelessness of hui
man nature, writes Hubers Work,
Postmaster General of the United
States in The Nations Business
About 10000 blank envelopes con-
tanning letters or other enclosures
,re dropped into the mails annually
The number of envelopes bearing only
the city and state, without the name
of the sender, cannot be estimated
but that the percentage is consider
able Is shown by the frequency with
which the examiners come across
them in the daily batch of dead letter
mail.
A recent lot of letters examined
brought to light an envelope address.
ed to "Mrs. K c.. Russia" An.
other bore the inscription "Send it to
Caiham, Tenn, r. =. ID. No. 1" but
failed to give the addressee's name
Still another contained an inscription
which even the most expert htero-
logist could not have translated.
The window envelope also was
represented. LAS every business man
knows, the effective use Of this style
OF envelope depends upon the propet
folding of the enclosure 80 that the
address viii lappear behind the trans.
parent portion Of the face, and yet
due to/the carelessness of mailing
clerks, hundreds Of thousands Cd
pieces of this class of mail reach the
dead letter Office because the en-
closure was improperly folded and in
serted.

average of about 900 leva per person,

Disregarding the present rate of ex-
change and considering the value OF
