THE CRAZY RABBITS

TT WAS the first gray dawn of the
morning that Mr.. Fox was awak-
ened by the sound of running feet. lie
jumped out Of bed and went TO the
window.
Picking through the shutters he
could see a long line OF rabbits run
ming down the path through the woods
that led to the meadow. what In the
world is the matter with all the bun
nies?" thought Mr. Fox as he began to
dress. Wonder If the woods is on
6re?"
There was nothing the matter with
the woods, he found out as soon as he
was outside. The sweet smell of early
morning filed the air. Not even the
chirp of a bird was to be heard, only
the faint sound of the little feet in the
distance did Mr.. Fox hear, and the last
rabbit as 1t disappeared through the
trees did Mr.. Fox see.
But he must know what was going
on. Down the path he sped. He
reached the edge Of the woods just
as the last rabbit ran into the meadow.
Just before he caught up to them,
Mr.. Fox saw that the rabbits were
running along by pond. and when the

Flal-Aookup for Double Ground spark TransmItt.r

While the regular form Of radio COM
munication has been widely used in
boy scout encampments, there are limi-
tations which restrict it's use to those
scouts more advanced in the art For
instance, the wave-length regulations
must be rigidly adhered to, and special
licenses must be secured before the
sets may be placed in operation. The
"air" cannot be used Unfortunately
for fear of causing serious interference
with receiving sets for which the mes
sages are not intended.
There is another form of communi-
cation which is suitable for scout
camps and which is deserving of wider
application. The double ground sys-
tenn has been little used In this coun-
try, although it was of immense value
to the front line of the French army
during the World war. The transmit
ter is so simple and we'll known as to
require little explanation, for its most
important unit is the well-known spark
coil. This instrument has fallen into
disrepute in radio to a great extent,
not only because of its gruff and un-
certain tone, but also On account Of the
poor tuning qualities of sets using
spark coils. But with the double
ground hook-up there is no tuning re-
quired, and since 1t is useful primarily
for slow speed communication the low
note Is no obstacle.
In Fig. 1 appears the hook-up for
double ground transmitter. The ter
minals of the spark coil are placed
fraction of an inch apart and a wire
run out in each direction, where con-
tact Is made with the ground The
longer these two wires, the greater
will be the possibilities for distant
communication, although if they are
about fifty feet each code conversation
may be carried on over distances not
exceeding one-half mile. If insulated
wire is used it may be strung on the
ground, although if it isn't insulated 1t
should be kept foot or two off the
ground by wooden stakes. The grounds
may be in the form Of iron pipes about
four feet long driven deep into the
earth; the better the contact, of course,
the better will be the results. In fact,
a short strip of chicken wire, buried
foot or two beneath the soil, is ideal
for the purpose. No connection should
be made to piping systems, for that
would destroy the possibilities of long
er distance
In Fig. Is shown sample receiving
circuit. There is no tuning required,
all that is needed being an audio-fre-
quency amplifier. WD-11 tubes NAV
easily be used, with two dry cells for
lighting the f1laments. This arrange

What Causes Noises
That Worry Beginner

Beginners in radio become worried
over the peculiar noises experienced
while tuning in for broadcast recep-
tion These few notes may help to
identify these noises and assist the
beginner to an understanding of their
meaning.
When listening to distant broad
cast stations one frequently hears a
whistling sound which tends to go up
and down the scale. These whistles
are produced by some broadcast lis
tener's set whose tube is oscillating.
The strange part of it all is that he
hears these whistles just as you do but
never for a moment does he suspect
that he is a party to the interference.
Usually he blames some one else, gen.
orally the broadcast station. The
remedy for this squealing is to keep
the ticker coil or plate variometer con-
troll just below the point where the
tube produces these whistles.
Sometimes whistles are produced by
overlapping waves of two broadcasting
stations or nearby oscillating receivers.

Your Receiving Sets
Must Be Kept Clean

Cleanliness and neatness are impor-
tant for efficient operation of radio
receiving set. Dust should not be al
lowed to gather on the instruments
for it causes leaks In the circuit. Dust
between the plates of variable con-
denser develops short circuits, and
collections Of dust or SCOT on the an
tenna insulators make 1t easy for the
radio currents to leak away to the
ground before they reach the receiv-
ing set.
One operator noticed the signals
gradually growing weaker. He over
hauled the entire set, carefully in
specting all connections, but this
failed to locate the trouble. He began
TO lose faith in radio. One morning
while busting about the room his wife
just happened to brush the dust off
the spiderweb coils mounted on top of
the cabinet. That night the set
worked to perfection, as it did when
first installed.

Stubby Tail. He was certain he was
crazy but Stubby did not seem to

he ran toward home to get his break

Tail, reached the far end of the pond,
instead CT keeping straight on with his
run he turned, coming down TO the
other side of the pond.
The rabbits that were following did
not notice this. Each one seemed in
tent upon following the rabbit in front,
so when Stubby Tail came to the side
of the pond nearest Mr.. Fox he fol-
lowed the end rabbit, who was. Of
