FoCH PRAISES AMERICAN WAY
Pride Of France Well Pleased With
Enthusiastic Welcomes Through.
out the Country.

Marshal Foch OF France, has given
to Commandant de Merry, formerly
OF his staff, the task of writing the
Impressions OF the generallssimo on
his recent visit to America as the
guest OF the American Legion. Marshal
Foch has made 1t a lifelong rule not
to write for publications OF any sort.
In speaking OF his trip across the
American continent, Marshal Foch
said: There was always the same
enthusiasm. the same warmth, all
through the weeks that travelled, no
matter whether we were in the West,
the North, the South or the East. No
matter what the weather, thousands
OF men, women and children were al
ways ready with cordial greeting"
The Marshal paid an especially high
tribute to the "cordiality and friend
ship OF the American Legion" which
he said. rendered easy the journey OF
more than 10000 kilometers in forty
five days"

transposing this equation the imped.
ance Is equal to the applied voltage
divided by the current. The lmped-
ance OF vacuum tube plate circuit,
Internally between the flament and
the plate, when the grid is at zero
potential, is an important constant Of
vacuum tube and Is called the in.
ternal plate lmpedance.
The internal grid lmpedance OF a
vacuum tube used In a radio set as
detector determines the impedance
OF the telephones that will give best
results when connected In the plate
circuit of that particular tube.
II Is then not only the resistance OF
a pair OF telephones, but also the In
ductance and the distributed capacity
Of the winding that cause the maxi.
mum current to flow In the telephones
for given change In grid potential
The internal plate lmpedance Of q
vacuum tube varies only slightly with
different plate voltage. II Is more an
Inherent characteristic OF the tube
which is determined by the design.

to function.
A grid leak having too low resist.
ance will not allow sufficiently high
negative charge to collect on the grid,
resulting In very small plate cur.
rent reduction and weak response In
the telephone receivers.
On the other hand, II the grid leak

upon the "impedance" OF that circuit !;
just as In the flow " water through
a pipe. the quantity OF water that
will flow when any given pressure
Is applied depends upon how much
the flow through the pipe is lmpeded
by the friction OF the particles Of
water against the sides Of the pipe
and against one another.
In the electrical circuit, the rela.
tion between these three quantities.

applied difference Of potential is In

You Auto Know

That one Of the chief causes
OF automobile fires, especially
during cool weather, Is 'backfir-
ing" which, In turn, Is due to
the mixture not being sufficient
ly rich In gasoline. When the
backfire occurs a sheet of flame
leaps from the air intake Of the
carburetOr, and II il strikes
anything OF an easily inhamma-
BILE nature, a serious explosion
or flame Is likely to result.
The collection Of gasoline upon
the drip-pan Is one Of the prln-
clpal dangers IN this connection,
for the gas vaporlzes so rapidly
that. II the pan is not properly
drained or cleaned at regular
intervals, there IS almost certain
to be a sufficient mixture In the
vicinity Of the carburetor TO
cause trouble from backfire and
the subsequent flame. The pre-
vention Of this risk, of course,
lies In the frequent use Of the
chOker In starting during cold
verther, and also in keeping the
drip-pan and the carburetor well
cleaned, although fires have also
been known to start from back
firing ignitlng pools of oil or
grease on the floor Of a garage.

TEMPERATURE is IMPORTANT
Point Below Boiling Point Of Water
Prevents Condensation and
Excessive Wear.

To get the greatest efficiency from
a motor ana at the same time with
maximum economy, it should be op-
Grated at temperature point a little
below the boiling point of water. This
prevents condensation OF gasoline, bad
results from cold oil, and excessive
wear to motor parts, not only because
of poor fabrication, but also because
motor parts have not had the oppor-
tunity to expand properly. In other
words, hot motor parts fit. And the
motor should reach the proper tenn
perature point as quickly as possible.
For this reason radiator shutters and
a motormeter are standard equipment
on some cars. They insure long life
and continued satisfactory perform
ance.

NEW RADIO FILTER A MARVEL
Campbell Device That Separates Tele-

Messages.

Although much has been said and

separation of telephone and telegraph
messages, says the Scientific Ameri-
can, II remained for DR.. Frank

ern Electric company, to demonstrate
how the filter permits OF transmitting
radio telephone and telegraph mes
snges simultaneously. and Of separating
these messages ut the receiving end,
at a meeting OF the American lnstl-
tute OF Electrical Engineers.
The present electrical filter is the
invention of DIR. G. A. Campbell, n
telephone engineer, and makes II pos
sible TO separate the various freQuen-
cies at which the individual tele-
phone and telegraph messages are car
ried. The detected electrical current
in radio receiving set is passed
through the fllter which separates the
frequencles OF the telegraph message
from those of the telephone.
The filter differs materially from the
ordinary tuned circuits familiar to the
radio enthusiast, since It separates not
single frequencies but bands of fire.
Quencies OF any predetermined width.
The filter makes II possible to sep
arate the band OF frequencies com
prlslng the telephone message from the
band comprising the telegraph mes
sage. It can also separate one tele-
phone message from another.

SOLVED GERMAN RADIO SPEED
Operators ingenuity In Use Of Dleta'
phone Aided In Intereepting Code
Messages.

On a bench In the BOis de Bologne,
In company with mademolselle, or In
running or crawling toward the
Boche's trench, the American dough-
boy couldn't be equalled for speed.
When IL came time, however, TO pass
secret radio messages, where no par
ticular danger was involved either for
the sender or the receiver, the Ger
mans seemed to be able to make 1t a
trlfle snappier.
The aforegoing Is apropos Of the
statement that German code messages
were sent so fast that radio operators
of the allies, who weren't supposed to
be playing, anyway, we're not able to
take them. 1t was not long, though,
until what the allied operators lacked
in speed they made up In ingenuity. A
certain operator, by the triangulatlon
method, found that messages were be-
ing sent from a station In Germany to
another In German East Africa.
After several weeks Of work, this
operator took a dictaphone to his sta
ton and set the blank wax cylinder In
motion at rapid rate Of speed while
German message was on Its way TO
Africa. After the message had been
caught" in the wax cylinder the
cylinder was placed on a transcribing
machine and then run so slowly that
the mysterious dots and dashes could
be taken with ease. Later, the mes
sage was decoded and Its secret known
by the allies. The knowledge derived
from this operators experiment is now
employed in transcribing press mes
sages from Europe to America.
