TRIAL OF HARGETT
 SET FOR NEXT WEEK
Dry Chief To Plead Not Guilty,
 He Says

A. W. Hurgett, federal prohibition director, under charges of leading an illegal liquor raid in Mobile several weeks ago, expects to be called to the port city for trial next week, he said Wednesday.
 Hargett will plead mot guilty and offer witnesses in support of his claim that he was framed" by the Mobile liquor ring.
 Reports reaching Birmingham had it that the Mobile grand jury would not act, but that the case against Hargett would be called up on a bill of in- formation to be filed against him by the federal district attomney. A, jury will try the case.
 No steps towards engaging counsel had been taken Wednesday by the dry chief. He confidently predicted he would be exonerated. Federal court now is in session in Mobile, with scores

 Katz asserted he represented George c. Royce, judgment creditor of the corporation. In September, 1922, he scid, the corporation's leases were ap- praised at SIG, 100000, while the March, 1923, report of the president put the total assets as $34,000,000, of which $9,7S5,000 represented real estate, refneries and pipe lines.
 Katz declared further that, he had been informed by other creditors that some of the leases were under fore closure, that some already had been foreclosed and bought in by directors of the corporation at inadequate prices and that no one was looking after the properties.
 President Not Found
 Harold Walker, president of the As sociated Producing and Refining cor poration, left New York when its of fees at 217 Broadway were closed few months, Attorney Katz said.
 "I believe he is at his home in Lex ington, Ky.," the attorney said, but have been unsuccessful in efforts to reach him there."

Pointers on Saving
Tubes From Blowouts
BY HERBERT S. HALL, E. e.

Many radio fans when trying out a
new circuit and at other times are
very much afraid that their tubes
might be destroyed by the B battery
potential being accidentally connected
cross the filaments.
If two 2215-volt B batteries are con-
nected in series with a resistance of
approximately 10000 ohms as shown,
a small voltmeter will show practically
no voltage across the terminals A and
B. that is, less than u volt, an amount
which may be safely applied across the
fllament of any tube without danger.
Yet when terminals A and = are ap-
piled to the plate circuit in the usual
manner the volume of sound will be
the same as though a 221a-volt battery
were used in the regular way.
There is one very good use of this
arrangement other than for testing
purposes. When leaving the set to be

nets and ribbons form the foundation
for novel trimmings, the most out
standing being fringes and ornaments
of ostrich fues. These fringes and pin
wheels are in all the light high colors
and take the place Of ribbon rosettes
or flower motifs. Bodied hair accounts
for many new headbands to be worn
instead Of caps and simply designed to
be decorative. The newest feature in
the construction Of lace and net caps
Is the Introduction Of "side drops of
lace in small cascades and ends that
hang down at each side ald sometimes
form little cape across the back. A
cap Of net, lace and ribbon, made In
this way, is shown at the left of the
picture. Another cap very much like
1t, has small cascade of lace at each
side with hanging ends. One or both
of these ends may be brought across
the face like a harem veil, leaving only
the eyes uncovered. These side at
tachments are made in wings" or
ears" also, and have a tiny wire
stay which makes it possible to adjust
them at any becoming angle
Headbands are of many varieties

latter cannot "blow" the tube by con-
Meeting wrong wires to the tube or A
battery terminals.
For those who are interested In
what happens when this hookup is
used with set the following nontech-
nical description should suffice:
Part of the combined voltage (45)
of the two 22h-volt batteries is used
In the 20,0OO-ohm resistance and the
remainder is used in the impedance of
ne plate circuit of the tube, Phones,
ETC., which is almost equal to the high
resistance mentioned above, There
fore, like water finding Its own level,
the potential throughout the entire
circuit and In each part proportions
itself according to the resistance of
each part, which for the detector tube
and phone is about 22ia volts. But If
a milliammeter be connected In place
of the tube and phones the reading
Will be about 2 milliamperes and the
voltage almost nothing.--New York Sun.

Quency application has been added
to the three-tube set. This gives the
circuit greater receiving range and

Simplicity of construction and ease
Of operation and tuning has not been
sacrificed by the additional stage and
no extra controls, other than a rheo-
stat, have been added to- the circuit
The selectoformer can still be used
In place of the variocoupler.
The selectoformer is essentially
fixed coupler for use in any circuit
where transference of energy must
take place between the aerial circuit
and the grid of the first tube. The
tuning is accomplished by means of
q variable condenser across the sec
ondary windings in place of the in
efficient method of taps on the primary
and a variable secondary. In addi-
ton to reducing the losses that are
usually present when taps are used,
the selectoformer turns the reflex into
4 set that can be calibrated as to
wavelength. The location of a sta
ton can be logged by the number of
the dial where 1t came in and be tuned
In at some future time by setting the
dials at their former positions.
A deciding saving of tubes and bat
terry current results by the use of This
type Of circuit. The equivalent of two

From either the practical or the es-

everything to commend il. The con-
venience Of slipover tunic like this

tates OF smart vogue have not been
overlooked, in that its exquisitely
slenderized straight-line effect is quite
as it should be. Its color scheme Is
adorable. Fancy, if you please, rose

quency application is practical only
when audio transformers of a low
ratio such as Erla three and one-half

The usual good quality of the reflex
type of receiver is further improved
by the use of the low ratio transform
ers that have very little distortion.
and by the use of the &c" blasting bat
terry of from four and one-half to nine
volts.
Four Nv 201-A or G 301-A tubes
should be used with six-volt storage
battery. From 80 to 135 volts of B
battery will be required for operation
Of the receiver. The use of less than
90 volts of B battery will result In a
decrease in volume and range of the
receiver.

Little Fuse Prevents
Blowout of Any Tube

The turnover In vacuum tubes Is
tremendous. In view of the fact that
over 81 n per recent of all vacuum tubes
never live their full and intended life,
it is no wonder that over 100000
tubes were sold last year. Tube pro-
lection is the logical answer to the
situation. Recent developments in q
little fuse that slips over the filament
terminal of any standard vacuum tube
makes this protection from accidental
blowout real and complete in every
sense of the word.

Battery Switch With
Good Locking Feature

The man who would borrow your
automobile without your permission is
somewhat hampered by the fact that
you have the key to the switchboard
in your pocket. If you are radio fan,
you can now rest assured that soon no
one will tamper with your set or leave
the tubes burning while you are away,
thanks to the designer of a new bat
terry switch with locking feature.
Children are apt to turn on the
radio set and leave the tubes burning
after they have finished listening in.
Anyone unaccustomed to the operation
of your set may damage the tubes or
batteries, and without a switch of
some sort you may often forget to
turn off the tubes when you are
through with your set.
