dcnser. 1t is not only possible to tune
finely, but also, by changing the ratio
of capacity to inductance used to re-
ccive the same signal, the sharpness Of
tuning can be varied.
The grid circuit Of the tube Is
coupled to the antenna circuit by
means Of few turns of wire on the
rotor of the vario-coupler The tun.
ing of the circuit is accomplished by
means of the grid variometer. The
grid condenser is the grid with respect
to the tilament, SO that the only ca
pacity in shunt with the inductance
in the grid circuit is that between the
grid and filament in the tube. The
shunt capacity gives the greatest in
ductance with very small value of
voltage variation on the grid for
given signal in the antenna. Since
a vacuum tube depends for it's opera
ton on the amplitude of the voltage
applied to the grid. it Is desirable to
use only very small values Of shunt
capacity in the grid circuit, especially
on short waves.

Question: Doctor Stelnmetz, many Of
us have amateur radio receiving sets

would like to have your opinion as to
the real hazard involved.

McGrath Cigar Factory Does Big
Business

J. C. McGrath, who came to Minot
from Portland, Maine, in October, to
open a cigar factory on the second
floor Of the North American Cream
cry Building, is meeting with much
success, which he no doubt deserves.
He manufactures one brand of
cigars, the Northern Light, in five
shapes and sizes, using only the very
best imported tobaccos. The Gamble
Robinson Co. are handling the entire
output of his plant.
Mr.. McGrath is working a good siz-
ed crew and business is growing daily.
He was engaged in the manufacture
of cigars for II years in Portland,
Maine.
Mr.. McGrath intended locating at
Great Falls, Mont, but received let
ter from Carl E. Danielson, president
Of the Minot Association of Commerce
who painted Minot in such glowing
terms that he stopped to look the city
over. He considered this one of the
best points for cigar factory in the
west, so decided to remain.

Verne Martin Praises Iron Range

Mr.. and Mrs. Verne Martin of Vlr-
ginia City, Mimi, are spending the
week in this city the guests of the
formers mother, Mrs. Geo. Martin.
Mr.. Martin has nothing but praise for
the Iron Range. Virginia City, with
her $4,000 population, has an assessed
valuation of 46 million dollars. The
streets and alleys are all paved. The
largest white pine saw mill in the
world, with capacity Of million
feet day, is located there. The mill
is running at three-fourths capacity
now. The schools are wonderful.
There are free doctors for the sick
children. Children are hauled to
school in heated buses. They do not
have to buy paper or pencils, and all
books are furnished them. If they
are underweight, they are given milk
free. At noon they can buy a bowl of
soup at the school for one cent, and
sandwiches for cents. A noon day
meal costs them five cents. Virginia
City has a $3,000,0O0.0O school build
ing, while Hibbing's cost $5,OO0,O00.OO.

to use alternating current rs source of
filament current. There will always
be present in the telephone receivers
n 6O-cycle hum, but by the use of GER
tain circuits and auxiliary apparatus,
this GO-cycle hum can be reduced to
a minimum.
The use Of alternating current as
source of power supply for the Ala
ments of the vacuum tube has it's
greatest advantages in cheapness, low
maintenance, and the small amount of
space needed for Its apparatus. A
small stepdown transformer of such
ratio as to reduce the house lighting
current to six volts. and of sufficient
capacity to light fne filament Of one
tube, can be mounted inside receiv-
ing cabinet as an integral part of the
set.
The greatest disadvantage Of using
alternating current on the filament of
a vacuum tube is the ever present CO.
cycle hum, and since the supply cir
cult potential is not absolutely con-
stant, the filament current will vary
from time to time, making it neces-
sary to frequently adjust the fila
ment rheostat.
The simplest method Of using al
ternating current for filament current
supply is to connect the usual "A"
battery leads from the receiver to
toy stepdown transformer which will
deliver six volts, as shown in Figure
r. This connection, however, will
cause a very loud hum In the receiv-
CTS. Even though the incoming signal
will be just rs loud as though direct
current were used on the filament the
alternating current hum is SO loud that
it will drown out the average signal.
Standard vacuum tubes require po-
tential drop across the filament of
approximately five and one-half volts.
Progressing from the circuit ar
rangement to one In which the grid
circuit is inductively coupled to the
antenna, we have the circuit shown in
Figure Q. In this type Of circuit ar

fore, be very regrettable if, by mis-
guided public opinion, distractions
were placed in the way Of the fullest
and freest developments Of the anna
teur radio station. With regard to the
possible lightning risk from the ground
ed antenna, first-the lightning risk In
a city Is very remote in any case, and,
second-the grounded antenna rather
acts like lightning rod and exercises
protective action against lightning.
Any danger from the radio power re-
ceived by the amateur station obvious
ly is ridiculous when considering that
the energy Of single pound of coal

BEST SOURCES Of
FILAMENT CURRENT
Storage Battery in Conjunction
With a Rectifier Forms the
Ideal Power Supply.

When the filament current of a
vacuum tube is adjusted at normal
rated value a small change in fila
ment current will cause large
change in the plate current. Suppose
a certain tube is used in regenera-
tive receiver circuit Not only does
variation in flament current
change the plate current and cause a
sound in the telephone receivers, but
the plate impedance is changed, and
the energy fed back to the grid cir
cult is changed, which causes the vari-
atlons in plate current to be ampli-
fed
In order, then, to maintain the plate
mpedance constant and also to re-
duce tube noises to a minimum. es-
pecially If the receiver Is used for
radiophone reception, the ideal source
Of f1lament current should be at
constant potential. A storage battery
represents the best source Of constant
potential for filament current supply
For those who have alternating cur
rent available and want the best re-
suits, storage battery in conjunc-
tion with rectifier forms the ideal
power supply for the flaments of the
tube. This is especially true if am
pliers are used in conjunction with
the receiver, for any variations in fila
ment current causing noises in an am
plitier set will be amplified by the
successive tubes until the original
noises become a veritable roar.
If single tube is used for recep-
ton without amplitiers il is possible
