out of circuit. When the receiving
set was adjusted to 400 meters about
80 per cent of the interfering signals
was eliminated.
The accompanying diagram Illus
trates how the trap should be con-
nected in circuit. When the condenser
is adjusted so that the circuit resonates
at 400 meters, for example, the trap
offers, theoretically, an infinite imped-
ance to any incoming signal of the
same wave length. In actual practice
the impedance Of the trap at resonance
is not infinite, due to the fact that
coil cannot be made which has no re-
sistance, but 1t is, however, very high.
All other signals above or below 400
meters find their way into the receiV-
ing set, since the trap is not In res
onance with them.
How Inductance Is Made.
The inductance is made by winding
II turns of No. 15 or No. 16 d. @. G.
copper wire on a 4h-inch bakelite tube.
The variable condenser Is .OO1 MID,
or the usual 43-plate type. The fixed
condensers are also .001 mid. of mica
dielectric Two single-pole switches
make 1t possible to cut In or out the
fixed condensers In order that broader
range of tuning may be had on the
trap. The other single-pole switch
makes 1t possible to cut in or out the
wave trap as desired. After the prop
er capacity has been determined for
any particular receiving station, 1t Is
probable that switches will be unnec-
essary for cutting the condensers In
and out of circuit.
The trap will cut out 400-meter sta
lions when one fixed condenser Is In
circuit and the variable condenser Is
placed approximately at mid-setting.
To eliminate higher waves. increase
the condenser capacity. and for shorter
waves, decrease 1t, cutting in or out the
fixed condensers as necessary. If a
| loose coupler or variocoupler arrange
ment Is used In the receiving set, very
close coupling must be employed; 9TH
erwise the trap will not be at all effec-
tive. The trap will slightly alter the
previous settings Of the receiving set,
but not to an appreciate extent. This
particular apparatus will undoubtedly
be of most service In eliminating 400
meter stations when one desires to
hear 360-meter stations, and vice versa.
Those who have trouble from CONNER
! cial spark sets will also find 1t a great
addition to a radio set.

Reflex Circuits Are
Latest Development

Reflex circuits are the latest devel-
opment in radio and are fast gaining
in popularity. The word reflex" in
connection with radio hook-up seems
to be a puzzle to many radio enthus-
lasts. Reflex means Ito turn back
upon itself or in the direction whence
IT came" Electrical currents of diff
ferent frequencies in the radio circuit
are superimposed upon each other
without interference. In such cir
cult the vacuum tube is used for two
purposes. 1t serves as an amplifier OF
radio frequency currents and as an
amplifier of audio frequency currents.
That is, it amplifies the incoming
radio impulses before they are recti-
fed to audio frequency by the de-
tector.
In the reflex circuit the wave inter-
cepted by the antenna is amplified by
the vacuum tubes at radio frequency,
detected or rectified by the crystal to
audio frequency currents and is super
imposed upon the same amplifier tubes
as an audio frequency current A

GENES HORSE

SYNOPSIS.-Arrivi at the lone
ly little railroad station of El Cajon,
New Mexico. Madeline Hammond,
New York society girl, finds no one
to meet her. While in the waiting
room, a drunken cowboy enters,
asks II she is married, and departs,
leaving her terrified. He returns
with priest, who goes through
some sort of ceremony. and the
cowboy forces her to say 81.
Asking her name and learning her
identity the cowboy seems dazed.
In a shooting scrape outside the
room a Mexican is killed. The cow
boy lets a girl, Bonita, take his
horse and escape, then conducts
Madeline to Florence Kingsley,
friend of her brother. Florence
welcomes her, learns her story, and
dismisses the cowboy, Gene Stew
art. Next day Alfred Hammond,
Madeline's brother, takes Stewart
to task. Madeline exonerates him
of any wrong intent. Alfred, scion
of wealthy family. had been dis
missed from his home because of
his dissipation. Madeline sees that
the West has redeemed him. She
meets Stillwell, AIS employer. typ
ical western ranchman. Stillweil
tells her how Stewart beat up the
sheriff to save her from arrest and
then lit out for the border. Danny
Mains, one of Stillwelfs cowboys,
has disappeared. with some of Still
wells money. His friends link his
name with the girl Bonita. Made
line gets a glimpse of life on a
western ranch.

Cleveland Mans Experience Is Very
Much What Would Come to
Most of Us.

1t isn't the Rip Van Wrinkles only
who come back to find themselves for
gotten. That sort Of thing occurs with
painful frequency in everyday life.
Nor Is 1t necessary for the victim to
stay away 20 years. Much less time
will efface him.
Some time ago a man came back
from the West, where he had made his
home for ten years, and set out to re-
new old acquaintance. He had been
prominent man in the business life
of the city and member Of leading
firm. 1t was to the habitation Of this
firm that he directed his footsteps.
AS he passed down the salesroom
one of his old partners came to him
with outstretched hand.
"Why, hullo, how are You? How are
things going, and how long do you
stay? Sorry I'm so busy. See you Ia
ter" But he never came back.

AT the present time there is no prac-
teal solution for every interference
problem that a radio fan may have.
However, there are great many cases
Of interference that can be solved by
the use of a properly constructed wave
trap. 1t is the purpose of this article
to give the results of tests which have
been made and to explain exactly the
construction of trap which the writer
believes will be Of much help to many
of the fans.
Just such a trap Is being used by one
of the government receiving stations
which operates on $50 meters and up
ward and Is less than mile from one
Of the large 400-meter brOadcasting sta
tons. Before the trap was put into
service, signals from the broadcasting
station could not be tuned out, regard
less of how the government receiving
set was tuned. In fact, the interfering
concerts could be heard for many feet
from the phones. Before the broad
casting station was finally allowed to
begin regular operations the problem
Of interference had to be solved. Sew
eral traps were made and tried out,
and finally one was developed which
cleared the trouble.
Conditions Were Rigorous.
The conditions which the trap had
to meet were very rigorous. When the
broadcasting station was in operation
IL was necessary that 1t should not be
heard in the least when the govern
ment set was tuned to $50 meters or
more. For this test the receiving set
was tuned to $50 meters, the lowest
wave length used in the reception OF
messages at that particular station.
Also the regeneration was set at min
imum and two amplifier tubes in addi-
ton to the detector were employed
The fact that no regeneration was used
made the receiving set much less selec-
tive, even though 1t was loose-coupled
type. Also, it was required that the
use of the trap would not noticeably
cut the signal strength of any messages
Finally, after building several traps
using various sizes of wire, inductance
and capacitance, an arrangement was
found which met the specified cOndi
tions. 1t was possible to tune the re
ceiving set as low as 430 meters before
the 400-meter broadcasting signals
were audible. There was no notice
able change in intensity of 450-mete,

radio frequency current is one which
oscillates or vibrates far above the
sound range of the human ear. An
audio frequency Is one the ear can
hear. The two currents travelling
through the amplifiers at the same in
slant, one at radio frequency, do not
interfere with each other. The two
currents superimposed upon each 9TH
er are of different frequency, and for
this reason do not lose their identity.
The reflex circuit las several adj
vantages over the regenerative and
radio frequency circuits generally
used at the present time. 1t allows
the efficient use of a crystal detector
which gives clear reproduction of
sound. Regeneration is not used and
therefore distortion due to that cause
is eliminated. 1t requires half the
number of tubes, which greatly re-
duces the cost of the set. Using few
er vacuum tubes the batteries last
longer. The reflex tunes extremely
sharp, thereby minimizing interference.

Madeline saw a dark-faced Mexican
riding by. He was too far away for
her to distinguish his features, but he
reminded her of an Italian brigand.
He bestrode a magnificent horse.
Stillwell rode up to the girls then
and greeted them in his big voice.

appeared to be really unnecessary feats
of horsemanship all made In her VI
cinity. The cowboys evinced their In

1t was all too serious for Madeline to
be amused at that moment. She did
not care to talk. She sat her horse
and watched.

Alfred. laughing at Madeline's protest,
declared the cowboys had elected her
queen of the ranges, and that there
was no help for it. So the name stood
"Her Majesty's Rancho"
All that had been left Of the old
Spanish house which had been Still
wells home for so long was the bare,
massive structure, and some Of this
had been cut away for new doors and
windows, Every modern convenience,
even to hot and cold running water
and acetylene light, had been in
stalled; and the whole interior painted
and carpentered and furnished. The
ideal sought had not been luxury, but
comfort. Every door into the patio
looked out upon dark, rich grass and
sweet-faced flowers, and every win
dow looked down the green slopes.
Madeline Hammond cherished a
fancy that the transformation she had
wrought in the old Spanish house and
in the people with whom she had sur
rounded herself, great as that trans
formation had been, was as nothing
compared to the one wrought In her
self. She had found an object in life.
She had seen her brother through his
difficulties, on the road to all the sue
cess and prosperity that he cared for.
Madeline had been conscientious
student Of ranchipg and an apt pupil
Of Stillwell. The old catrleman, In his
simplicity, gave her the place In his
heart that was meant for the daugh-
ter he had never had. His pride in
her, Madeline thought, was beyond
reason or belief or words to tell.
Under his guidance, sometimes accom-
panied by Alfred and Florence, Made
line had ridden the ranges and had
studied the life and work of the cow
boys Sometimes she looked in her
mirror and laughed with sheer joy at
sight of the 1.-THE, audacious, brown
faced, flashing-eyed creature reflected
there. 1t was not so much Joy in her
beauty as sheer Joy Of life. Eastern
critics had been wont to call her
beautiful in those days when she had
been pale and slender and proud and
cold. She laughed. If they could only
see her nowl From the tip Of her
golden head to her feet she was alive,
pulsating, on fire.

Then the senior partner saw him and
came forward.
"Well, well, this Is surprised" he
cried. "How are things coming, and

CHAPTER vi
A Gift and a Purchase.

For q week the scene of the round
up lay within riding-distance Of the
ranch-house, and Madeline passed most
of this time In the saddle, watching
the strenuous labors of the vaqueros
and cowboys. She overestimated her
strength, and more than once had to
be lifted from her horse. Stillwell's
pleasure in her attendance gave place
to concern. He tried to persuade her
to stay away from the roundup, and
Florence grew even more solicitous.
Madeline, however, was not moved
by their entreaties
She grasped only dimly the truth
of what 1t was she was learning
something infinitely more than the
rounding up of cattle by cowboys, and
she was loath to lose an hour Of her
opportunity.
Before the week was out, however,
Alfred found occasion to tell her that
1t would be wiser for her to let the
roundup go without gracing 1t further
with her presence. He said It laugh
ingly; nevertheless, he was serious.

surprise he said. bluntly:
