Antennae for Local
and Long Distance

1t is often advisable to erect two
antennae when both local and long
distance reception Is desired. One of
these antennae designed for obtaining
a high degree of selectivity, in differ
entiating between local signals, may be
a slngle-wire outdoor antenna approx
imately 30 feet in length and about 20
feet in height, or an indoor antenna
using about the same length Of lamp
cord placed behind picture molding.
For long distance reception a longer
antenna IL necessary: for this purpose
a single wire about $50 feet in length
stretched as high as possible will give
satisfactory results. The use of two
antennae provides a flexible arrange
ment for avoiding interference be-
tween local stations operating on near
~ the same wave length, particularly
when a regenerative receiver is'used
with the small %antenna and, in addi-
tion. provides a larger antenna for use
in long distance reception after the
local stations have ceased operation.

than a storage battery.
Connect your other pieces Of appa-

Before putting your tube in its
socket be sure that all the resistance
of your rheostat is in the circuit, for
by jumping the full current on all at

Now turn the rheostat pointer until
the filament assumes a bright glow.

glow is all that is necessary

TESTING B Battery Voltage.

In testing a b battery for voltage.
do not leave the voltmeter on the ter
minals any longer than is absolutely
necessary, This Is a dead short cir
cult, and will use up the battery In
a hurry. The same thing holds true
of n testing with either veltmeter
or ammeter. Always test the storage
battery with a hydrometer for the best
results. When the solution reads be-
low 1,15O it Is time to re-charge, and
when the reading reaches 1850 or
1880 If is time to stop the charge.

the upper or movable coil is attached

drill a rather large hole in the panel
to allow free movement of the shaft.
The entire unit is then mounted as Be-
curely as possible to the rear Of the In

on the controlling knob 1t Is necessary
to fasten a suitable sized rubber Or

Is possible. Carrying out this Idea Of
utilizing a compass as coupler, 1t Is pos
sible to construct variable (book-type)
condensers quite easily. Nor Is the
coupler limited to honeycomb coils; 1t
can be used with equal success in on
junction with spiderweb coils and sim
gle layer inductances. With a bit Of
thought an efficient detector stand
could be designed.
The only drawback to this coupler
is that only one set Of coils can be
used, but by tapping the coils this dis

PONY EXPRESS RIDER
TELLS OF ORIGINAL ROUTE
F'allOn Standard

William Edgon VanDlaricom. who
makes his home at saltwater. was
one of the boys who piloted pony ex-
press and mail across the state of
Nevada and rode the route. While
he is seventy-fve years of age he
is still alert to all things and his
memory is inst as keer as the day he
was riding across country to deliver
precious messages and valuablas.
in speaking of the Nevada route of
the Overland trail he states that the
present Or recently adopted route is
way off the old trail. IL 1863 the
Lander cutoff vas adopted to shorten
the distance That year he rode pony
express from SAND Springs to Union
vile, via Saltwater and met the 9TH
or riders who came down the Hum
boldt. Each rider carried fifteen
pounds of mail and five pounds of
Wells Fargo express. The regular
run was cut out in 1854 when he
went to Idaho where the boom sec
ton Of Wagontown ard RUBY City
had started.
That the recent rae was not over
the Overland or pony express route
IS indicated by the following details
by Mr.. Fanblaricom. The original
ride was from Salt Lake City to Aus
Tin, Nevada. with relief between the
two stations. From there the road
came to Alpine and then to Sand
Springs and on to Saltwater.
The road Vas then toward Carson
City by Allen Springs, south of the
present site of the Lahontan dam,
then on through to Fort Churchill
and then up the river to Dayton,
Sacramento.
Mr.. Vanblaricom was riding pony
express between Silver City, Idaho,
and Sheep Camp when the message
came that Lincoln was as~sassinated.
He rode that night fifty-five miles and
passed the word along and made the
return trip that night, or 10 miles
in the saddle. The other rider was
drunk and the next day he had to ride
TO Boise, 10 miles, which was GOV
cred in eighteen hours and forty
minutes. Four horses were killed OH
tho trip.
In speaking Of horsefiesh he states
that every of animal had 10 stand the
e''k handkert nief lost and they re-
ceived the same treatment accorded
q racing stable, ah the" wer. ,ool. Il
off, b~lanketed and ~bandaged Each
rider was given three minutes TO sad

times repeated, that The route was

Counterbalance for
Condenser Put in Dial

Most Philippians like an easy and
smooth-turning condenser, but If there
is no c6unterbalance (and most con-
densers have none) they will often sag
when subjected to even only a small
amount of vibration, with the result of
fading signals or sometimes causing
the set to 0scillate. An easy way to
avoid this is to place a co~unterbalance
on the back of the dial. As practically
