could offer evidence to show that
toricating.
Taking of testimony in the case
of Mr.. Hill. who was brought to
trial on an indictment charging that
he illegally manufactured and pos
sessed wine and cider OF more than
one-half OF one percent, alcoholic
content, was completed by both the
government and defense today.
The congressman, taking the stand
In his own defense today, was not
permitted to testify or introduce cor
respondence regarding efforts made
by him to obtain from Prohibition
Commissioner Haynes a ruling on the
alcoholic content Of homemade bev~
erages. Likewise Department of JUS
tice bulletins on the manufacture
Of such beverages were ruled mad
missible and Mr.. Hill was not al
lowed to finish testimony that he
had followed the directions or a bull
letin Of that department in making
his cider and wine.
After placing number Of wit.
nesseS on the stand to testify that
they drank Mr.. Hills beverages and
were not intoxicated, the defense
DIR. Howard A. Kelly of Baltimore
was called by the government as, "a
Iebuttal witness. DIR. Kelly said
that three or four bottles Of liquid
containing ~ percent of alcohol by
volume would be Intoxicating Ito 4
great number of persons" but under
cross examination admitted that he
Lad never seen 1t happen. GOVERN
ment chemists yesterday testified
that in his opinion even a quarter OF
one percent alcohol in a drink would
be Intoxicating.
Judge Soper said:
Congress seems to have used the
word non Intoxicating differently in
one section than 1t did in another.
To my mind, Congress plainly in
tended that persons manufacturing
cider and wine exclusively for use
in their homes should be in a class
by themselves. or otherwise there Is
no apparent need for this section
(Section 29).
1.-The only reasonable explanation
for Congress singing out home made
cider and wine makers is that Con-
gress did not intend to punish men
for such manufacture unless the
beverage is intoxicating in fact.
This opinion seems to be borne
out by an opinion expressed in the
United States Senate in 1919 when
the Volstead act was being debated,
by the chairman of the committee
in charge of the bill. He expressed
the opinion when this section was
added to the bill by amendment that
cider and fruit juices made exclu-
sively for use in the home must be
in fact"
The ruling was the result Of a
lengthy argument yesterday by
counsel for Hill and United States
Dist. Atty William w. Woodcock.
The government chemists testified
that Colonel Hills homemade wine
had an alcoholic content a. high as
IL percent.
Hills defense was based on the
of Section 20 Of the Vol |
stead act. which permits the manu-
facture Of home made fruit juices
and cider. provided they are non i'm !
toxicating, but forbids their sale TO !
anyone except those who have a per-
NIT to make vinegar from the cider.
Washington, Nov. 1.-THE finding |
OF Federal Judge Soper in the case Of |
John Phillip Hill at
Baltimore today Is regarded here as
a revision of the poll |
cies and regulations followed by the |
commissioner.

to keep the grid of the tube at the
proper operating point.
In the diagrams shown below no c
battery is shown in the grid circuit
of the detector tube. While such a
battery could be used in place of the
grid condenser and leak shown at ID
In both diagrams, the common prac-
tlce is to use the grid condenser and

The terms A, and C batteries
nave no particular significance in
themselves. They are terms arbi-
trarily assigned to batteries used in
radio circuits, the various terms being
applied to distinguish one battery
from another.
In the old days of crystal detec-
tors it was found that the use of d
battery, connected into the circuit
helped the detecting action of the
crystal Only one battery was used
III the circuit. Later, when the
Fleming or two-electrode tube came
into use, a battery was required to
heat the filament of the tube Here
again, however, only a single bat
terry was required.
The introduction of the three-eIec-
trode valve made the use of another
battery necessary. In the circuits in
which the three-electrodc tube was
used one battery was required to
neat the filament of the tube and an
othef battery was required to supply
the auxiliary current to be nodded
by the incoming signal voltages and
DC made capable of actuating the
phone receivers.
when the two batteries were used
1t was necessary TO assign different
names to them SO that one could be
distinguished from the other. Ac-
cordingly the term battery was
assigned to the battery which fur
nlshed the current required to heat
the filament of the tube and the term
h battery was assigned to the bat
terry which furnished the current for the
plate circuit of the tube
1t was then found that the action

amplifier could be controlled by con-
Meeting a low voltage battery i'll

Accordingly a third battery was in
troduced and termed G battery, to
distinguish it from the other two.
Below are two typical wiring
diagrams showing how these three
batteries are used in the various
circuits,
