ers are beginning only now to realize
the truth of the fact that they cannot
afford to carry large and heterogene-
GUS lot Of odds and ends in radio ap-
paratus In the hopes that they will be
able to dispose Of 1t. They are learn
ing now, by stern process, that hys-
terical overstocking Of apparatus in an
effort to meet the spasmodic demand
Of radio 'faddlsts' is not going to prove
profitable in the long run. They are
beginning to realize that dependable
apparatus, bought to. meet the varying
radio conditions. is more to be relied
upon than unknown apparatus that
looks good In the catalogue, and is
merely an ornament upon the shelves.
Manufacturers. too, are learning
their lesson from this slump. They
are realizing that the time Of order
taking rs past and that the time Of
order getting is here. They are learn
Ing now, II they didn't know 1t before,
that In order to sell radio apparatus,
they must give good value, servlceable
merchandise, attractive prices and real

PEDIGREE HUNT IN BRITAIN
American Visitors Are Eager as Ma
tlves to Know About Their
Ancestors.

London.-"Among the keenest in
quiries into their pedigrees-and gene
alogy never before was as popular as
1t Is at this moment-are many of the
Americans now visiting this country"
says Secretary Fothergill of the So
ciety Of Genealogists.
1.-THE day of faxed pedigrees is
past. What the modern American is
seeking is the truth about his fore
bears, traced backward generation by
generation.
"They are particularly interested in
the new field for genealogical research
that has recently been opened up, the
deposition books Of the old courts.
This has not yet been properly ex-
plotted, for In many instances the rec
ords Of the ecclesiastical and common
law courts and the court of chancery
are not yet open to public inspection.
"The fascination Of these books Is
that they are not mere lists of names
and dates. The very words spoken by
the parties and the witnesses to these
old disputes are preserved, so that the
authentic voice Of ones ancestors may
be heard down the centuries"
The main work Of the society Is the
preparation Of the huge consolidated
index, which already constitutes a
record Of more than 100000 baptisms,
marriages and deaths, with other bio
graphical details In many cases.

plate circuit. The limit is reached
when the plate current reaches the
saturation point. After this point is
reached, further weakening Of the
coupling cannot increase the plate cur
rent variations so that the transfer of
energy from the plate to grid circuit
now decreases, and any further reduc-
ton In coupling will cause such a re-
duction in excitation that finally the
tube will cease to function.
There is, then, a certain degree Of
coupling at which the tube will start
to oscillate, certain degree Of cou-
pling which will produce maximum os-
cillation in the plate circuit and an
other degree Of coupling at which the
tube will cease to oscillate.
From the foregoing short discussion
II can be seen that three electrode
vacuum tube can be made to function
as self excited generator OF an un-
damped alternating difference of po-
tential at radio frequency, or by excit-
ing the tube externally by, for exam
pie, an incoming radio signal, the
amplified plate circuit variations In
potential can be fed back into the grid
and held to further increase the ampli-
tude of the plate circuit variations. In

COUPLING CONTROLS
The OSCILLATIONS
How the Vacuum Tube Radio
Receiver Can Be Made
Regenerative.

II It were not for the bends in the
characteristic curve, the three-elec
trode vacuum tube could not be made
to produce oscillations of constant am
plitude when self excited. 1t Is easily
seen that IL the characteristic curve
were straight line, the operation Of
the tube would be SO unstable as to
render the tube useless as an oscilla.
tion generator. A third condition of
relative values Of potential variations
can exist, that Is, when the grid cir
cult potential variations are less than
the potential variations existing in the
tuned circuit between the points X and
Y. When this condition exists, the
oscillations In the tuned circuit cannot
be maintained but the decrease in am
plitude In the tuned circuit oscillations
will reduce the grid excitatioi., and the
tube will finally cease to oscillate.
Thus the coupling that exists be-
tween the plate circuit through the
tuned circuit inductance l. and the
grid circuit through the inductance I,
control the conditions that will or will
not cause the tube to act as a gener-
ator Of undamped oscillations.
Suppose that the coupling existing
between the two coils L and is such
that the tube is generating oscillations.
II the coupling be reduced, that Is II
the coils be moved farther apart it will
require greater and greater variations
In potential in the coil L to maintain
the same variations in the coil I. This
weakening Of the plate to grid coupling
causes stronger oscillations in the

pling.
In Figure xxXvI the tube was made
self exciting by coupling an inductance
O connected In the grid circuit to L.
IN inductance in the tune plate circuit.
A development of this circuit Is shown
In Figure XXXIX.
Here the energy, instead Of being
directly coupled from the plate 10 the
grid circuit, is first necessary to an
intermediate circuit, MN, and then to
the grid circuit. 1t is necessary Of
course. that the circuit KY and MN
have the same natural period, that is
to say, they must be tuned to the same
frequency. If the frequency is rela-
lively high, the condenser @ can be
dispensed with, and the capacity Of the
plate to filament used as a portion Of
the oscillation plate circuit.
The circuit as shown In Fig. XXXIX
Is inherently the circuit used In low
power undamped or continuous wave
radio telegraph transmitters. BY sub
stituting in the oscillating circuit MN
the capacity of an antenna with re-
spect to the ground. we bave the con-
tinuous transmitter shown in Fig. Nj.
BY placing key in the 'B" or plate
battery to turn the plate battery Off
and on the start and stop, the tube os-
cillating dots and dashes can be sent
out by varying the coupling between
the grid and plate coils and L and
the antenna circuit, the transmitter is
adjusted for maximum power output
To adjust the wave length the value OF
the antenna inductance Is varied.

S'mock Marriage
an Old Custom

that now is 80 known. One such mar
riage Is reported In the archives Of
the Town Of Friendship, Knox Coun-
ty, originally known as MeduncoOk
(signifying Sandy Harbor). 1t is also
one of the few instances In Maine his
tory where advantage was taken Of
the provision Of the law that In a
community where there resided neith-
er minister nor magistrate man and
woman who appeared before wit
nesses, read the marriage service to
each other and signed marriage
agreement became lawfully welded.
Married Themselves.
Such marriage was performed In
1772, and the record on the town
books reads:
"Certlficate-This may certify all
whom 1t concerns that w. Elwell of
Meduncook hath been duly published
to Hannah Thomas of Meduncook.
"(Si'd) SEDATE WADSWORTH.
"clerk Meduncook April ye 18th 1772."
"Meduncook, May 10Th, 1772.-
Whereas the subscribers, VIM. Elwell
and Hannah Thomas, being lawfully
published & desrous Of entering into
the holy state of Marriage & being
confined In place where there is
neither minister or a magistrate, do

set our hands:
"WILLIAM ELWELL

Thomas took the common prayer book
after they had signed the above In
strument & read the church ceremony
Of marriage to each other in serious
manner before the witnesses to the
above instrument before me--Wm.
Frost.
"The aforesaid William Elwell &
Hannah Thomas were married in the
above manner, May 18th, 1772-their
first child, named Hannah, was born
June ye 21st, 1773; their second, a
ION, named Elias, born April ye 9th,
1770."
There is nothing to show that the
practice Of smock marriage outlived
the Revolution. In Maine, up to 1852,
q husband was liable for debts of his
wife contracted before marriage, and
no such subterfuge as the smock mar
riage could relieve him, considering
the glory OF the bridal finery Of today.

SNAKE AS SUNSHADE HANDLE
Dog Is Rapidly Being Displaced In
England as a Pet by Freak
Rivals.

London, England.-Th place long
held by the dog as a family pet and
street companion threatens to be
usurped by the monkey and other
exotic creatures. Women are seen

and parrots.
People also are getting accustomed
to the woman with young white fox

ion Of 4 number of business men OF the

The merchants and the Chamber OF
Commerce are emphatic in their oec.
larations that the business houses OF
Wheeling are losing hundreds OF thou-
sands Of dollars yearly, owing 10 the
high rates charged by the two COM
oanirS between here and the surrouno-

larger volume Of business. then a drop
in prices, and again Increased business,
meaning profits to the traction COM
panies and the city itself.
The following is an interesting COM
mont on the situation by the COMMITTEES
