Los tres pilares del exito

Cada persona tiene su receta propia
para Ell 6xito. Sim embargo, es general
asentar como axiomatico que ell trabajo
y la inteIgencia son los dos requisites
primordiales para tener exito en- la vida.
Un gran diario neoyorquino esta pu-
blicando dia dia la receta que da para
ell exito algdn gran hombre que ha lie
gado la cumbre en- la esfera particu-
lar de su actividad. Uno dice que ell fac
tor principal del exito es la a,frugalidad.
otro dice que 10 es el trabajo. otro di-
ce que es el estudio. otro, que es Ia
perseverance,; otro, que la lealtad; otro
que Ell metodo; otro, que la honradez.
Entire este ctrnulo de opiniones la
ma la atencion, como algo que sale de
10 vulgar, la opinion de Arnold Bennett,
famoso escritor ingles, que dice que ell
exito economico no tiene NADIA que yer
con la inteligencia, nj con ell trabajo,
nj con la frugaIidad, nj con Ell metodo.
Estima que la inmensa mayoria de los
que alcanzan ell 6xito econ6mico son
perezosos, torpes, derrochadores, des-
ordenados. Sin duda, hay que yer en-
esta opinion del escritor ingles una crf
tica nuestra organization social, que
pernite ell exito quienes no 10 mere
cen y deja, en- la oscuridad los hon.
bres de verdadero valer.
Indudablemente, es possible concebir
otro mundo en- que la organization sea
tai que sus hombres Sc les recompen-
Sc con mas riguroso ajuste al m6rito
de cada cua1 y al servicio que rinda
sus semejantes. Existen en- nuestra
sociedad grandes injusticias que permi-
ten que hombres que rinden menor
servicio sean mejor pagados. Probla-
blemente Binstein debiera ganar mas
de los Glen o doscientos d6lares que ga
ma al mes Chaplin debiera ganar me-
nos de los Glen mil d6lares que CANA.
Pero en- terminus generates, nuestro
mundo esta organizado de tai manera
Que cada hombre recibe su compensa-
ci6n de acuerdo con Ell servicio que
rinde la comunidad en- que vive. I'm
comerciante vende doscientos pares de
zapatos al mes y CANA, digamos, Glen
d6lares. Otro comerciante vende mil
pares de zapatos CANA quinientos do

clio por Ell cual Sc les paga. Ell pue

tos, mayor sera su 6xito. Ninguno de
ellos solo basta. Dos de ellos solos
tampoco bastan. Por supuesto, hay
otros requisites suplementarios para el
exito, pero estos son los primordiales.
Muchos de los otros requisites, como la
honradez, por ejemplo, son simplemen-

HOOVER SURPRISES
Hometown FOLKS
Visits Birthplace in Iowa and
Meets Many Acquaintance
of Old.

BY the Associated Press.
WEST BRANCH, Iowa, April IL
introduced by Mrs. ]. K. Carran, his
school teacher in West Branch. Iowa,
thirty-eight years ago as "Herbie"
Hoover, the Secretary of Commerce
In President .Harding's cabinet came
back to his birthplace yesterday aft
ernoon and surprised the town as he
intended to. despite the publicity his
intended visit has received during the
past two days.
Shortly after his arrival at West
Branch about o'clock. the town folks
began flocking to the Consolidated
School Auditorium, the community
center, where the native son"
reninisces about the old home town.
West Branch, awaiting the arrival
of Hoover for two days, had almost
given up hope of seeing him when
the report went about that he was at
Hoover.
Sees Home OF Birth.
The Secretary came in an
automobile and almost INN ediately
started out to see the town. First
he went to see the house where he
was born anu next he visited the
cemetery where his parents are
buried. Then he went on to the
Joe Albin home, were his grand
father lived, and the Ralph Bran
son home, where his cousin dwelt.
At the school. where about 500 Of
the schools 700 people were as
sembled, Hoover said simply that as
he grew older his birthplace became
more dear to him. He spoke briefly
Of his work in Europe, and wherever
he had roamed, he said, he had always
found Iowa people.

Radio lamps or tubes now glow
family each night in more than a mil
lion American homes.
In some cases only a single tube is
employed to function as rectifier OF
Of radio waves.
As such. the tube constitutes the
electro mechanical brains,'' so to
speak, Of receiving outfits as they pick
out Of the air the equivalents Of the
product of the human brain and faith
fully reproduce them in their natural
form.
In other cases additional tubes are
employed to assist the detector tube
either by simplifying the strength of in
coming radio frequency oscilla tons be-
fore they reach the detector tube or
simplifying the strength of radio fire.
quency oscillations after they leave the
detector tube, or both.
Tube sets employing from one to as
many as possibly eight individual tubes
are used In present practice, but assum-
ing that in the average set only three
and two as audio frequency amplitiers,
we have not less than three million
tubes in daily use, and the number Is
constantly increasing.
Although the radio tube closely re-
sembles the ordinary electric light bulb
IN its general appearance, yet their
manufacture in quantities and their test
involves far more difficulties and re-
quires more skillful craftsmanship.
These features, along with the patent
rights. determine the relatively higher
individual cost of the radio tube as COM
pared with the ordinary electric lamp
or bulb.
Life of Receiving Tube.
The operating life of radio receiving
tube is dependent principally on the life
or the flament or negative electrode.
The f1lament in turn Is dependent on
the material used in its construction,
the extent of evacuation of air from the
pub and the degree of elimination of
the inherent gases in the fiament, grid
and plate material, and also in the glass
of the bulb.
The presence of harmful amounts of
gas IN the bulb or even secreted in the
material of the tube elements will cause
tube to function erratically under
certain operating conditions. In fact, the
presence OF gas in the bulb is the prn-
cipal cause of tubes becoming defective
or entirely imperative. even though the
Hlament itself is not defective and cur
rent may be circulated through the fila
ment circuit in the usual manner. OF
the great army Of radio fans who daily
ntillze the radio tube probably very few
appreciate the remarkable processes
through which their tubes have been
put in the making.
with the assembly into a complete
unit OF the glass bulb and tube base
containing the flament, grid and
plate. and their connecting terminals,
the bulb may be exhausted of air by
the use of vacuum pump to draw
the air out through apertures In the
base. With the proper extent of
vacuum obtained. the apertures may
be sealed and the space within the
tube left virtually devoid of air.
Solution Comparatively Simple.
The problem of evacuatlng the tube
OF air may thus be solved in a COM
paratively simple manner, but there
is also the very much more difficult
problem of eliminating the inherent
gases in the filament, grid, plate and
the glass walls of the bulb. and evac-
Uating these gases also, gases

operates to the best advantage in
| connection with 22h volt b bat
terry. The grid condenser in the
WD-11 circuit should be about .00025
mid and the grid leak two megohms.
This type of tube is exhausted to
extremely high vacuum, and there
fore is not dependent upon inclosed
gas for detecting properties. For
this reason tho tube is not critical In
filament current or plate voltage ad-
juStments. When used as an amplf-
fer the WD-11 will withstand a plate
voltage ranging from As to SIS volts.
A plate voltage upward to 200 volts
may be used without damage to the
tube. However, such high voltages
should be used with care, for ampli-
flying transformers of certain types
will burn out If even 100 volts 'B"
battery is applied to the plate,
A blue glow In the WD-ll tube
when high voltages are applied does
not indicate leak or the presence
Of ionized gas in the bulb. The glow
does not interfere with the operation
OF the tube. as is the case il the tube
be soft" This blue glow Is thought
given Off by salts used to coat the
filament.
The wD-11 can be used as radio
frequency amplifiers and in reflex
circuits. When more than one tube
is used an additional 1.-volt dry cell
tional tube. Connect the batteries in
parallel. The average life of dry
batterw used with WD-11 is from
sixty to ninety hours.
A new tube, WD-12. is similar to
the WD-11, except that it has
standard base OF the same type and
dimensions as the slX-volt tubes.
which fit in the standard socket. The
electrical characteristics of the "D-
IL and the WD-12 are the same.
The WD-11 tube has been much In
demand by those who want to convert
the Army sets for long distance re-
ception and those who want to build
their own sets, because they can be
operated by dry cell instead of the
more expensive storage battery. This
type Of tube has been very scarce.
and many rumors have circulated to
explain the insufficient supply. One
rumor was to the effect that the man.
ufacturer wished to sell more of the
complete sets in which VIDE bulbs
are used; another, that the corpora
ton wished to sell thousands of
storage batteries they have in stock,
and still another that they wished
to give dealers time TO sell the W.
zoo detector tubes, which require
storage battery for operation, before
placing more WD-11's on the market.
Washington dealers, however. recent
~ received large shipments Of the
once scarce tubes.
Officials of the manufacturing COM
pany denied these reports, pointing
out that the production Of the tubes
has reached 5000 day. and plans
are being made to turn out 10000
day to meet the demand.

lightning" This is a popular question
of this season of the year.
The danger from lightning may be
reduced to a minimum providing
proper safeguards are adopted. There
is no more danger from the antenna
being struck by lightning than there
Is from the telephone or electric
light wires running into the house.
An antenna properly grounded serves
as a lightning rod. gradually letting
the static charges leak away to the
ground before they have a chance to
gather and attract an opposite charge
from the clouds. 1t is estimated that
a radio antenna not only protects the
house with which 1t Is connected, but
the surrounding area equal to the
size of city block. Every owner
OF a radio antenna should have a
feeling of safety during an electric
storm.

To Broadcast President's Voice.


The voice of President Harding will
undoubtedly vibrate through the
ether from either WEAF, the Ameri-
can Telephone and Telegraph station,
or from WIZ. the Radio corporation,
Westinghouse station at Newark,
when he speaks before the Volunteers
Of Am erica in New York May 10.
Definite arrangements have not been
made relative to the hall in which
the address will be given, but 1t is
expected the microphone will pick
up the Presidents voice from either
the Metropolitan Opera House or the
Hippodrome.
Such broadcasting will give Presi-
dent Harding the distinction of ad-
dressing the largest audience of any
President in the history of the United
States. The waves Of, WEAF and
WIZ have sufficient power to carry
their message to every state in the
Union, SO which ever station places
