RADIO
VACUUM TUBE USED
AS RADIO DETECT0R
How This Device Depends on
Emission and Control Of
Elections for Its Operation.

Readers Of the radio column are
urged to clip each article and paste
1t IN a file book. The articles print
ed are continuous and the entire
series will be valuable for reference.
The greatest advances made in the
past few years in the radio art have
been due in one way or another to
the use of vacuum tubes. In view OF
this fact a more careful consideration
Of them will be Of interest.
All Of these tubes, known by va
riety Of names, such as radiotron, au-
dion, seriotron (trade names Of the
manufacturer) depend upon the same
fundamental principles for their op-
Grafton. For the sake of simplicity
Of brevity these will be referred to IN
this column simply as vacuum tubes.
A vacuum tube can be made to func-
ton as a detector, as an amplifer, or
rs an oscillat0r.
The vacuum tube depends on the
emission and control Of electrons tor
its operation. The electron is the
smallest subdivision Of matter which
mankind recognizes and it carries the
smallest known charge Of negative
electricity. For years previous to
electron research 1t had been held by
scientists that matter was built up OF
distinct particles or units which they
called atoms and molecules. At first
the molecule was assumed to be the
smallest quantity Of matter that could
have a separate existence or take
part in chemical action, but more Wig.
orous research pointed to the fact that
the molecule Is made up Of still small
er elements which are termed atoms
that is, a molecule may be composed
Of several atoms Then for a time II
was assumed that the atom was the
very smallest quantity Of an element
that could exist, but later researches
have revealed that atoms may be
further subdivided into particles

ADVICE FOR AMATEURS.

The voltages applied to the
plate circuits Of simplifying
tubes are not extremely critical
and one voltage control will suf-
fee. The detector tube, how
ever, is often very critical and
an efficient potentiometer will
work wonders in controlling it.
Apparatus used for the recep-
ton of broadcasting is exactly
the same as that used for the
reception Of code signals. The
transmitting equipment, how
ever, IS different.
The use Of single wire for
reception is advantageous be-
cause it lessons the amount of
objectional interference in the
way Of static. It is equally as
good as a multiple wire system
for reception.
Defective "B" batteries will
often cause roaring in the tele-
phone receivers.
The electron often talked
about is the smallest known
quantity of negative electrical
energy. In motion it makes up
the electric current.
A "soft" vacuum tube is used
as detector tube and ''hard'
vacuum tube as an amplifier.
The terms "hard" and soft
refer to degree of evacuation.
Radio waves travel at the
same speed as light, namely
10000 miles per second.
A wavemeter is an instru-
ment used for checking up the
wave lengths of sending and re-
ceiving stations.
Gas pipe or water pipe sys-
TENS may be used for grounds,
the latter being more advisable.
Lightning protection secured
by grounding the antenna when
not in use is essential and is re-
Quired by the underwriters.

Radiophones on German Trains.

Wireless telephone instruments will
be installed on number Of important
German express trains, and receiving
instruments will be placed in hotels
and embassies, according to an an
nouncement made recently. Expert
ments conducted in a moving freight
car have shown that the wireless sys-
tenn works well, the men engaged in
the testing of the instruments being
able to hold conversations with friends
in Berlin. The tests were made under
the observation of engineers, military
attaches and the diplomatic repre-
sentatives of the United States and
Sweden.

Handling Vacuum Tubes.

When you handle the vacuum tube:
Of your receiver great care should b
exercised that they are not knocked
about or that the elements are broken
These little lamps are the heart ant
soul of the set. A good way to op
crate these tubes is to keep the glow
just little below the critical point.

that 5O,000,000 lbs of food trays, or
so-called butter dishes, lard trays
made Of wood, paper or wood pulp are
used annually in the United States by
the retail groeers and butchers in
which to deliver to the customers but
ter, lard, meat, peanut butter, pickles
and many other articles Of food.
Where the weight Of these dishes is
included as part Of the weight Of the
food which they contain the customer
is defrauded The dealer may say the
weight Of the container is SO little that
il amounts to nothing, but look at
few examples.
The 50,O0O,O00 lbs trays mentioned
above at zoe per pound-a low estim-
ate Of the average cost Of butter, lard,
meats and other food products-is
S10,000,O00
A shortage Of one ounce on pound
Of butter at 48c per ID. is &c per 10,
weekly sale Of 300 lbs. makes a yearly
illegal profit to the dealer Of S46s.00
One ounce on a pound Of candy at
4Oc per lb, with a weekly sale Of 800
lbs defrauds the public out Of $65000.
Two lbs. short weight on a hundred
pound bag Of grain at $4,000 per ton
is soc per ton
One ounce shortage on each pound
Of meat at 32c is &c on each pound and
the butcher who has a weekly sale Of
1000 lbs. Of meat at above average
price, defrauds the public out of
81 $4,000 a year.
This does not mean that most
.radesmon are dishonest. This does
mean that if one tradesman sells IN f
his way, honest competitors suffer +
very materially.
The Weights and Measures Depart
nent asks the cooperation Of the
lealers in and purchasers of commod-
ties. Ask the price Of your purchases.
Order by weight and then weigh your
purchases. If you went to the bank

LET'S TALK ABOUT OURSELVES

The Barre Times gives some sound
advice when it says:
Vermont newspapers which contin-
ne TO print propaganda letters from
other sections Of the country, written
by ex-Vermonters, are also wondering
why Vermont lost population in the
1920 census. These propaganda let
tiers are advertising matters, printed
free, and some Of them are written by
those who have an axe to grind or real
estate TO sell. Let's have few prop
uganda letters about our own state"
The above paragraph reminds us Of
The persistence with which the people
Of California boom their own stock.
They talk California from morning TO
night They dream California when
they 80 70 bed. II Il rains they say
"My, just look at the beautiful sun
shine" They simply viii not eoncede
that there is another state than Cali
fornia.
While perhaps such an exaggerated
opinion OF ones beauty is not wholly
in accord with the best Of taste, never
theless in CALIFORNIA; case it has
worked to untold advantage. There is
a little lesson for Vermont in the
success attained by the Pacific state.
We should boost our state, talk our
state and think continually Of its
beauties.
We should never ooncede that the
rigors Of a Vermont winter ever inn
pose any hardship, or that there is any
scenery to be compared with the sum-
nner beauties q the Green Mountains.
As a matter Of fact il is often the
outside tourist who raves about Yer
mont Very rarely a natvie Vermont

ARE YOU GETTING
WHAT you PAY FOR?

The purchasing public is urged 10
use due care in the proper checking Of
the various commodities purchased in
order that the amounts delivered may
agree with the amount paid for.
The Legislature Of 1919 passed an
act providing for the marking Of the
net quantity Of food IN containers or
packages. The Commissioner Of
Weights and Measures has ruled that
the meaning Of this act Is to prohibit
including the tare or weight OF the
eontainer in the sale q any eommOd-
ity, that Is paper. string. bags, trays
and pals are not edible commodities
and should not Be included in the
weight Of the commodity.
The merchant who includes the
weight Of the wrapper or eoutainer IN
the sale Of his goods violates the law
and is guilty Of selling goods short ~
weight. Consumers have been de-
franded annually out 81 millions Of
dollars through the sale q wood.
