is to run a special wire direct from

tube have a capacity with respect to
each other. Some Of the most efficient
of the short wave regeneratlve recelv-
ers used today depend on the capacity
between the elements OF the vacuum
tube to furnish the necessary electro
static capacity between the plate and
the grid circuits to feed energy from

Figure o shows a simple single tube
regeneratiye receiver for short wave
work that depends on the electro
static capacity between the elements
of the tube for the coupling between
the plate and grid circuits. A yario-
meter "a In the antenna circuit Is
used for tuning. Another variometer
"B" In series with the plate Is used
for tuning the plate circuit to the same
natural period as that of the received
signal. This circuit Is sometimes
called the tuned plate circuit method
of regeneration.
There are two tuned oscillatlng cir
cults In the receiver. One tuned cir
cult consists Of the variometer "a"
with the capacity of the grid to fla
ment of the tube across 1t. The other
tuned circuit consists of the vario-
meter "B" with the capacity of the
plate to filament across 1t. These two
circuits are In turn Enthusiastically
coupled to each other by the capacity
between the grid and the plate.
A receiver of the type shown In
Figure o Is very efficient, because
there are no untuned circuits. In ad-
dltion the energy sent back from the
plate circuit to the grid circuit com
pensates for the losses In the circuits.

KEROSENE NOT GOOD
AS ENGINE CLEANSER
Drained Case Should Be Treated
With Fresh Engine Oil.
Engineers Have Figures TO Prove
That New Method Is More Econom-
icaI-Drain About Every 500
Miles During Winter.

Kerosene used to be a good stand
by on which motorists depended for
cleaning their engines.
Now come oil engineers with the
declaration that kerosene causes a
loss of Is per cent of the total lu-
bricating capacity of an automobile.
So, instead Of using kerosene to
flush u the crank case, those who
have studied this phase of motoring
say the drained case should be
cleaned with fresh engine oil.
That costs more money, and
arouses a bit of suspicion. when 1t is
known that this advice comes from
the oil companies. But their engineers
have the figures to prove that. In the
long run. the new method Is the more
economical.
Engines that have any form of
splash fabrication have oil troughs
and pockets In which part of the kero-
sene used for flushing is sure to re-
main, In some cars, say the oil en-
g~ineers, the kerosene retained in this
way represents Is per cen OF the to-
tai lubricating stapacity of the car.
It is safer, therefore, to use the reg
ular kind of engine oil. The crank
case should be drained about every
1000 miles In summer, and every 800
miles In winter. Every time the
change Is made. the case should be
flushed with engine oil instead of kero-
sene.
The oil used for this purpose can
be put to other lubrlcating uses.
Regular cleaning of the crank case

carbon that accumulates there in a
