Greenwich VILLAGE Must Go

Rents of $1,000 year promise to
move Greenwich Village practically
off the map-that is, the map as
New York regards 1t today. The
desirability Of Washington square.
and the fact that SO many new
apartment buildings are going up in
that vicinity. are responsible for the
lager does not appreciate, but if any
villager could afford $1,000 a year for
rent. with white enamel bathrooms
with nickle trim, he would automati-
calIy cease to be a villager.
Downtown bushes men and other
New Workers like to live in the
Washington square district, which
has never lost the colonial flavor Of
days when the square was a parade
ground. Apartments there are much
in demand, both because. of eX-
clusiveness and convenience to bust
ness.
Many residents are paying $1,000 a
room and exclusive rooms call for
$1,000 to S7250 a year. Tall new
apartments on University place at
Ninth street, and tho addition to
Hotel Albert on the northeast corner
Of Tenth street, show the tendency
toward costly quarters, as does the
Sailors Snug Harbor conversion of
many attractive old colonial homes
into apartments.
There seems no doubt that Green
witch Village must go west. 1t has
been associated with Washington
square. but the villagers find that
increased rentals push them to
Sheridan square and west of Sixth.
even Seventh avenue. So in a few
years it is reasonable to presume
that Greenwich Village will be as
sociated with Sheridan square rath-
err than Washington square.

Small Watches

A repeater watch has just been
completed by Swiss firm, the plat
mum case of which measures only
half an inch in diameter. 1t is claim
ed to be the smallest, watch in the
world that strikes the hours.
Much smaller non striking watches
are, however, in existence. One made
by q Geneva matchmaker measures
only one-sixteenth of an inch across
the dial. 1t forms the top of gold
penholder, and though SO tiny keeps
excellent time.
A midget watch, intended to be
worn as a shirt stud, was made in
1890 by a Newcastle (England)
matchmaker. A few years back it
was on exhibition there anG was still

denser G, the natural period Of the
circuit between x and can be made
to have the same frequency electri-
cally as the alternating current sup
piled to the grid at TT by the alter
nator. When this condition is reached
the tuned circuit between the points
X and Y becomes an infinite induct-
ance in the external plate circuit. The
potential variations between x and Y
are now maximum and are exact
amplified reproductions Of the poten-
tial variations applied to the grid cir
cult by the alternator.
Going back to the simple type Of
standard loose coupler hookup for a
vacuum tube, we will have circuit
arrangement as shown in Fig. G. Sup
pose that the principle Of the circuit
of Fig. F be applied to the circuit ar
rangement of Fig. G. The result will
be Fig. H. In Fig. Fl the inductance
M has been placed in the secondary
circuit and the inductance N has been
placed In the plate circuit.
When the coils NJ and N. are widely
separated Fig. II is essentially the
same as Fig. G.. An incoming radio
signal impresses small difference of
potential on the grid of the tube in
Fig. II which in turn liberates large |
amount of energy in the plate circuit. |
AS the coil N is brought nearer the |
coil M some of this plate circuit ener-
gy is transferred to the grid circuit.
This reinforcement, electrically, of the
incoming signal by energy transferred
from the plate circuit to the grid cir
cult by the coupling between the two
coils M and N, causes an increase in

coming signal until point is reached
where the energy fed back from the
plate circuit is just equal to the losses
in the secondary circuit.
An increase in the coupling be-
tween the two coils M and \ will
cause the tube to oscillate. BY chang
ing the tuning of the secondary cir
cult, the frequency of the tube oscil-
lations will be slightly different from
the frequency Of the incoming oscil-
lations due to the received signals,
and the beat note will be heard in
the phones. The pitch Of the beat
note will be the arithmetic difference
between the frequency Of the incom-
ing oscillations and the oscillations
furnished by the oscillating detector
tube.
The human ear is most sensitive to
note corresponding to 1000 vibra-
lions per second or electrically to
note produced by 500 cycles. Suppose
the received signal was on 200-meter
wave length of 100000 cycles. By
