tuner, he Is unfit to associate with the
radio elite; he Is as unwelcome as
uischarge OF static; he has no right to
call himself an amateur, though all
dictionaries seem to grant him that
privilege. Why?
There is good cause for this.
single-circuit tuner using electron
tubes (any form of detector that lights
up when in operation) transmits radio
waves at the same time it Is receiving
them and interferes with the reception
OF others in the same neighborhood.
Selectivity means the ability to pick
out the station you want to hear: TO
receive one station without being both
cred by others. 1t can be obtained
only at the expense of high-class en-
glneering, and the use of many parts.
1t costs money to build a selectiye sci
whether 1t is worth 1t or not depends
upon the point of view.
The person of unselective tempera- |
ment enjoys having lot of things go

signals completely, and bring in those
desired with a maximum volume.
| Selectiyity is great principle. 1t
applies not only to radio but to all
human relationships We are all diff
ferent and we select different things.
That is fundamental and Is not rea-
son for the radio amateur to look down
with contempt upon the beginner who
chooses to buy single-circuit tuner
nor for the user Of the aforesaid tuner
to look down upon the man who likes
to specialize on long-distance messages.
1t is unfortunate for the boy who has
shown that he has no special aptitude
in technical pastimes to follow the
lead of the technical radio amateur,
for he will only make a nuisance Of
himself and accomplish nothing. 1t is
equally unfortunate for folks who
merely listen-in with a radio set for
the sake of amusement to complain of
a boy who has earned his money for
the parts, built his radio set and who,
If he Is encouraged, may build upon
the foundation laid by such men as
Hertz, Marconi, Fleming, DeForest.
Armstrong, Dubilier, Sarnoff, Weagant,
Pupin and Steinmetz, apparatus and
organizations that will advance civil
ization a hundred years inside of a
decade.
Selectivity, if it Is to be intelligently
accomplished, must depend upon a
knowledge of the things from which
the selection is made. The beginner
who selects radio receiver, no matter
how simple so long as it will bring in
and who listens carefully

the Giants in the sixth and final
game Of the worlds series Monday
afternoon. The score was six to

The Yanks fought as only true fight

against the time-honored wall, rising
high on a wave of five runs in the
eighth inning just when defeat at tie
hands of Art Nehf and the Giants In
general seemed inevitable. Nehf only
made two mistakes during the game
and his blow up in the eighth behind
three run lead and the fact that
he had not allowed a hit for six in
nings is the second of them.
He was nothing less than, losing a
curve in Rutl's groove with the count
two and three in the opening innings.
The net result was home run into
the right field stands. Ruth's third
of the series, breaking all records for
a post season classic. No other play
