tative government is functioning very
badly in the United States 1t is I'M

the vacuum in craftsmanship thus ere
ated is automatically filed with the
noisy struggles of little men for little
ends and of corrupt men for corrupt
ends. Public opinion becomes confused
by the absence of realities from public
discussion and loses its ability to regis

state Of helpless disgust.
That is exactly what has happened
to our national politics during the past

Misleading

There was great excitement in the
suburb of Tootway. A new store had
opened. 1t was to be run on the lines
of those three-penny and six-penny
shops which are getting quite fea-
ture of our big shopping eenters nova
days.
The store was being run by a man
called Cohen and 1t was not hard to
tell that he was not Scotchman.
One day a woman came in, chose q
toy and put sixpence in the proprie
tors hand
Excuse me, madam" said Cohen.
'but the toys are ninepence."
But I thought this was three
penny and six-penny store" protested
the customer.
avell, madam. leave it to you,
was the reply. "How much is three
pence and sixpenee?''

Bad Contacts Are Sure
to Cause Much Trouble

Many fans have searched in vain
for trouble in their receiving sets and
failing to find it have torn the set
apart and built one from some other
hookup. And the trouble has been all
the time that one of the tube prongs
has not been in perfect contact with
the springs of the tube socket.
This is small item, but one of the
most vital elements of the receiving
set. In the case of contact of the fla
ment prongs. it is easy to trace poor
contact, because the filament will not
light unless the contact is good, and
if it is poor the filament will flicker in
such manner as to give some guide to
actual conditions.
But in the case of the contacts made
by grid and plate prongs, the tracing
of trouble back to this source is not so
easy. But making sure that all con
facts are good is simple matter If
the fan will only take this precaution
before wiring his set.
Take the tube sockets to be used in
the particular hookup being built ana
insert the tube to be used in the
socket for which it is intended. I'm
less the socket has closed base it
will be an easy matter TO ascertain by
looking through the bottom of the
socket just how the tube springs are
making contact with the socket
springs.-Public Ledger.

How Amateurs Can Use
WORKOUT Dry Cells

Many amateurs are at present using
WD-11 tubes and No. dry cells TO
light the filament.
When these cells run down below 10
to IL amperes, on test, they are no
longer suitable for this purpose and
are, therefore. usually thrown away.
Where such cells are used to operate
three or more WD-1fs. they soon &C
cumulate and by saving them it takes
but a short time to get together Is or
more of these used cells. But instead
of throwing them away, connect them
up in series (15 cells for 20 volts or
about 1.S volts per GELD to make an
excellent "B" battery to supply the
plate current TO the tubes.
Since "B" batteries cost consider
able. it is well worth while saving the
dry cells, as these will last long time,
due to the comparatively small amount
Of current required for the plate
supply.
