Six Months of Facts
Six Months Ago Today This Feature Said Build Now The
Statements Truth Has Been Verified.

Prosperity is largely local. This state
ment was also made in the opening art
icles 1t was pointed out that if South
Bend wished to prosper it could prosper
even if other cities this size or larger or
smaller did not prosper. South Bend
could make up her mind to move ahead
and she has moved ahead.
The thing for the people of this city to
remember now is to keep up the good
work We have made an enviable record
for building in six months. Scores of
homes have been built New buildings
have come to add to the owners wealth.
and to the city's prosperity. Business has
been stimulated and money put to work.
Keep IN close touch with the business
men if you wish to know business trends
from now on. Ask the lumber man what
conditions are 1t is his business to let
you know. Ask the other men represent

their line Ask the contractor. Ask the
dealers of special lines
South Bend news-times. (South Bend, Ind.) 1913-1938, 1922-08-28

Six months ago this paper made the
statement that building prices were down
to new low level. The suggestion was
freely offered that those who contemplate
ed building should start work at once, be
cause prices would hardly 90 lower and
might rise some. The fact was mentioned
that additional building operations
would put men to work and thus not only
provide finances for families but put
money into general circulation at time
when circulating money was necessary if
South Bend was to continue to improve
and grow and prosper.
We shall leave it to the reader to decide
how true those statements were.
South Bend has grown in these SIX
months. Building activity has been great
and contractors have been busy Stores
have gained in business Thousands of
men in this city have been employed on
building work

chance for the city, and Of surety for
the contractor. tits now proposed to
put the responsibility up to the conf
tractor and pay him on the basis Of
results. The contractor also benefits
by being able to collect more for his
work providing he secures. a larger
flow. This is the proposed method
Iof, getting the work done on the new
well and bids are asked for on that
basis. This putsitup tothe contractor
to expend the money int diligently and
the. city will pay for exactly what it
gets. ;i E3s t5
Pump Equipmerlt.
Is Mr.. LaWlor, also made detailed
report on the comparative values Of
different styles ofpumping equipment.
He pointed out the. disadvantages of
the plunger type, and proved his points
by reference to the actual troubles
the water department. has had with
Well No. a which has plunger pump.
He next discussed the air lift type,
finding its chief disadvantage in the
cost of operation which he showed by
efficiency ia bles to be more than twice
the cost of pumping by the third type
OF pump, the centrifugal He also
claimed that the initial cost of an air
lift pump exceeds that of the CEN
trifugal pump by $500. He further
maintained that repair costs for the
centrifugal pump are very low because
of the simplicity Of the apparatus,
there being only two working parts
exclusive of the motor There is no
jerking or change in the direction of
the force applied to lift the water.
The running of the pump is said to
resemble the spinning of a top. There
are no valves or. feathers to wear out.
The costs of operation are shown by
the following comparative figures fur
nished by the expert:
The figures in the 1st ecolumn repre-
sent the irNlift type, the second col
umn represents the Centrifugal type.

Besides the above recommendations,
the report contains suggestions for
changes in the present equipment to
provide for getting the water into the
mains more efficiently. This matter
was not discussed by the council but
will be taken up later. The City Clerk
was authorized to advertise for bids
on the new well only.

Vacuum Tube Is
Nerve of Receiver
High Voltage Created by
Amplifiers to Create Con.
tinuous Waves That Carry
Voice Through Ether.
By JoHN .. KENNEBEcK.

BY JOHN L. kENNEBECk.
tfhls Is the seventh lHstailmsnt OF The
Bees story af radio,l
As important as ignition to a gas
oline engine is the vacuum tube TO
the more advanced radio receiving
outfit.
Wireless development Is eentering
more and more about this device.
The vacuum tube is about six years
old.
Let us first aeeep, the operation OF
the tube: il is a modified electric in
eandeseent lamp OF the vacuum type,
which is supplied with the usual fila
ment and with a plate and grid be-
tween the plate and iilament, The
tube can act as generator OF waves,
an ampliher and a detector. II Is
the most sensitive detecting instru-
ment known TO man.
The tube allows electricity 10 enter
and pass out so long as il continues
in the same direction. The fllament
is kept heated by the "a battery
(six volts, which is regulated by a
rheostat BY regulating the current
passing through the filament we can
regulate its temperature, and this in
turn controls the electrons that evap-
crate from its surface. The plate in
side the tube that is connected to the
"B" battery attracts the electrons as
they leave the hot filament. Thus
we find that the vacuum tube is
generator OF high frequency currents
that are able to set up ether splashes
when the transmitter is in operation.
The vacuum tube is the Jack Of all
radio trades. II is not far distant
when few transmitter vacuum tribes
may take the place OF the elaborate
mechanism that is now employed in
radio stations.

SPARKS

Storage batteries must be given
regular and careful attention or they
will fail to give you service and deter
iorate rapidly. When the solution
evaporates to point where it nearly
reaches the plates distilled water
must be added. Do not use city
water for this purpose. Batteries not
in regular use should be charged reg
ularly every four weeks. Do not
place storage battery on polished
floors or expensive carpets. Some
time or other portion of the sui
phuric acid solution inside the battery
will be spilled on the floor and
brown charred spot will result. The
battery should always be placed OIL a
piece of rubber or glass sheet or tray.
The greatest help to any beginner
is the advice and information that he
can get by joining good radio club.
You hear talks and suggestions by
the "old timers. and you will find
a friendly gathering OF radio men that
will gladly help you with your prob
lens. If you are beginner find the
name of the nearest amateur club or
organization, investigate it, go to one
Of its meetings, and am sure that
you will hear and see many things
that will help you make success OF
your radio broadcast listening sta
ton.
Radio telephone head sets or tele-
phones are delicate pieces of appar-
'atus. Do not put your fingers in the
little holes from which the sound
comes or remove the caps from the
receiver shells, this might injure the
diaphragm or the fine wires inside the
shell. There are little magnets inside
the she'll. A sudden jar or shock
makes a magnet lose its magnetism.
If you let your head set fall the
strength of the magnetism in the
little permanent magnets will be re-
duced and the sensitiveness Of the
receivers lessened.
