SEEN ON THE SIDE
BroNyn's Mule.
BY HENRY EDWARD WARNER

There was man named Brown
Who owned n stubborn mule.
Half brother to a lnnatic
And otherwise fool.
Twas common talk among the folks
Who near him had to dwell.
That Browns mule had the devils and
That he was full O. hell.
Browns mule broke loose one day
And started for the town,
II" scared the women on his way
And knocked the children down;
And when the mcn-tolks came to catch
Browns mule. the story goes.
They got tinc view OF his heels
But never saw his nose.
SO long az Browns mule roamcd
All business was adjourned:
Nobody cared TO travel out,
Nor for adventure yearncd.
So Browns mule owned the universe
Until a bold one came
And stuck him with n snlckersnee.
And stopped his Kicking game.
q how the people cried!
Their hero they acclaimed.
And every baby for a year
Was for the hero named,
And in tina: burg the moral stands
In home. in church. in school:
no What You Start. in Spite OF All
The He'll That's In Browns Mule.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR
TROUBLE SHOOTING
uow to Detect and Remedy the
open Circuit, Short Circuit
and Leakage.

Radio circuits are subject to the
same ills that the ordinary power
oircuits are subject to. However, to
oure them is not such difficult task
40 might be supposed, especially if
come logical procedure is used.
If A receiver is well put together in
.he first place and all contacts and
other parts gone over once in while,
there is no reason why there should
no apy trouble. But the human be-
ing is prone to err, so that for the
aonce In a while" that is liable to hap
uen. this article will be devoted to
thp explanation of what might happen
TO q simple receiver and the best way
to fix 1t.
The usual troubles Of the receiver
fall under. one of the following three
headings:
IAN open circuit.
"A short circuit.
3-Leakage.
An open circuit can most easily be
detected by means Of series lamp.
Nearly every one has available the or
binary ITO volt lighting circuit. Take
an ordinary extension cord and cut
one wire at any convenient place and
use these two ends as test clips or
tips. The extension cord is plugged
into the house lighting circuit at any
convenient outlet and when the two
cut ends are held together the lamp
will light as the circuit is closed.
When the tips are held open the cir
cult Is open" and the light will go
out.
Suppose 1t is desired to test for an
open circuit in tuning coil. Connect
one tip to one end of the winding and
the other test clip to the slider. AS the

Ing.
Ii buzzer and battery are avail
able they can be used in testing for
an open circuit in the same way that
the lamp can be used. Connect the
battery and buzzer in series with the
test clips or tips and any low resist
ance circuit can be tested.
The ground connections can be
tested with buzzer and battery, but
do not use the housekeeping circuit
to test for grounds because one side
Of the lighting circuit is already
grounded and If The other side were
connected to the ground short cir
cult would exist and an excessive cur.

II the ground wire is connected to
the water pipe, connect one test tin TO
the ground and the other to the gas
pipe, which is also grounded. The
buzzer should buzz if one has a good
low resistance ground.
Leakage usually exists between the
antenna and the ground. An antenna
should be well insulated from it's SUD-
port. The lead-in should be brought
down to the point where it enters the
wall Of the station in such manner
that when the wind causes it to
swing, it cannot touch any grounded
material, and that rain and snow can
not cause a path along which the cur
rent can ground. In bringing the lead
