Neutro dyne-Refex Is
Strong Combination

seems to smooth out all clicks and
foreign noises SO common to the
ordinary types of sets.
The crystal is not critical, and
need be adjusted but once at the
beginning of the reception period.
1t is not absolutely necessary 20
use an adjustable crystal for this
circuit, although it is preferable,
because some fixed crystals work
quite well.
The reflexing coils may be made
by the fan himself or may bs fac
tory built. The latter will be
smaller and may be desired for this
reason. If this radio frequency
transformer is bought, it should be
selected for reflex work, as some
are specially designed for the pur-
pose.
1t is recommended that the fan
buy the neutroformers and the
neutrodyncs, as they have been de-
signed for the work and are better
than can be made usually by the
fan himself.
The audio frequency transformers
should be the best obtainable, and
the first one in the reflex stage
should have a ratio of three and
one-half to one, while the second
transformer should have a ratio of
five to one.
The Parts To Use.
The following list of parts will
make the neutrodyne-reflex four
tube set:
One panel, seven inches by TWEEN
ty-four inches.
One Dashboard for mounting
sockets and, parts.
One cabinet for panel.
Four dials.
Four variable condensers, .00025

Two neutroformers.
Two neutraliZing condensers.
One fixed coupler.
One reflex radio frequency trans

Above is a four-tube combination
that gives more distance reception
with volume than anything we have
heard out of an equal number of
tubes. 1t is not difficult to ap-
preciate the reason for this when
it is understood that this set is
made up of the best features of
the best circuits, namely, the neu-
trodyne and the reflex, with a
crystal detector. The selectivity is
that OF the ordinary good neu.
trodyne, plus an extra tuned
coupler effect that occurs in the
reflexing. The volume is equal
to that Of the ordinary five-tube set,
and the tone is singularly free from
distortion, due to the well known
rectifying qualities of the crystal
detector.
The circuit as shown comprises
two straight stages of tuned radio
frequency amplification. using in
ductances mounted at zero coup
ling between the stages, with the
balancing condensers connected in
the usual way. The third stage.
which is also a radio frequency
step, is reflected through a radio
frequency transformer and crystal
detector, and stepped up through
an audio frequency transformer
through the third tube again, from
which it is further amplified
through the second audio frequency
transformer to the fourth tube.
where it is again amplified.
Three Steps Before Detector.
This. particular arrangement of
the four tubes produces great vol.
ume, even on the distant stations.
1t shows up particularly well in this
work because it has three stages of
radio frequency amplification, where
the ordinary neutrodyne has only
two stages of radio frequency
application. The additional stage
makes a surprising difference in
the sets performance on extreme
reception.
The audio frequency amplification
is through the customary TIVE
stages, but in this circuit the same
tube is used for the double duty OF
audio and radio frequency amplifica.
ton. The work of the crystal in
rectifying the pulses before they are
fed to this tube is remarkable. The
crystal produces a fidelity of tone
that is exceedingly pleasing, and

HIS PET Snakes
To RATTLE
BY RADIO
Prof. G. r. Green Explains
Details Of Program To-
morrow Night

STATE COLLEGE. Pa, May 81
How he will handle his pet rattle
snakes to make them rattle over
the ether during the radio program
from the Pennsylvania State coI-'
lege station WPAB on Wednesday
evening, May z, was disclosed here
today by Prof. George r. Green.
nature study specialist OF the facul-
ty of the forestry department OF
the college.
Mr.. Green, who will stage this
unusual feature as part Of his
nature study talk on snakes at S:45,
eastern standard time, on Wednes-
day, states that rattle snakes are
similar to canary binds in their re-
action to light. Just as the canary
sings when the cover is removed
from its cage, so does the rattler
rattle" when brought to the light.
especially IL he has just had
square meal" of juicy beefsteak.
A little harmless teasing might
help, says Green, who will take his
rattles to the radiocast studio in a
stout wire cage. Green won't guar
antee that his pets will do their
stuff" but he will make every ef-
fort to make the experiment sue
cess.

ROmping Around
Radio Dial
By Listner-In-

The sugar-coated announcement
has been tried and found wanting.
There is no condemnation due
the broadcasters for having tried
1t out. Rather is there praise for
having discarded so quickly what
quite evidently was not popular.
Radio and broadcasting are the
results of experimentation. But
let's not tinker again with the an
nouncements except to boil them
down to cold, colorless facts. The
performers will supply the warmth
and color to the programs. Having
been told very concisely and very
distinctly what station we were
hearing, we were ushered last night
directly to the Capitol Theater by
the WEAF announcer. We believe
that even the announcer was glad
to be able to lay aside the strained
and verbose introductions of last
week.
Unable to find fault with the an.
nouncement end of the program we
let our daily complaint fall today
on the "microphonization" of the
orchestral numbers from the Capt.
tol Theater.
CThe long quoted word above is.
as far as we know, new one-but
what do the broadcasters say when
they wish to describe the manner
in which the microphones are placed
to receive music0
There seems to be an increasing
blur in the more voluminous pass
ages from the orchestra selections.
We recognize the difficulty that
must be encountered in forcing the
notes from a hundred instruments
into a ~ all circular disk, of A
diameter of less than a foot, but on
the other hand we rember how ably
a similar feat was accomplished in
the broadcasting of the Madrigal
Choir from New York a fortnight or
so ago.
We had thought perhaps the fault
might lie in our set, but after re.
peated adjustments and experiments
last night, the blur remained con-
slant.

ties OF special appeal or interest, as at

to play Santa to a number Of poor fam
ilies. Committees are appointed by the
girls themselves, some for the buying
Of necessary articles, some for the maxi

help to enhance the home atmosphere.
An important. feature OF the ho-
tells is the food service department.
where careful consideration Is given
the quality and quantity OF the food.
Each dining room seats $40 guests,
fresh linen is used for every meal
and uniformed Mattresses are in at

is purchased and the quantity is suf-
icient to satisfy the needs Of q well

The recreation hall. situated on the

A large room with a raised platform
at one end and q recess or alcove at the

windows which open on to small bal

floor for dancing, 1t is the scene Of
many pleasant forms OF entertainment
for the guests. There are semi-weekly
dances on Wednesday and Saturday
nights, and for these small entrance
fee is. charged which goes to the ''house
fund" There are also occasional lee
lures and plays, and various entertain

selves. Whenever q fee is charged the
proceeds are placed toward the house

the law to sell drinks one time as

That may all be-" says the waiter,
but the boss don't know they is a
Volstead act. He has been stone deaf
for 10 yrs
The pastime Of raiding is conduct
ed on a whole lot more sensible lines
now than in the old days. When the
law allowed saloons but said they
must close UP at certain times of
night. why every little vile you
would read in the paper where So and
So had been raided the night before
and him and all his help arrested just
because they had been surprised at
3 am. with their bar open.
Compare this proceedings with the
way things is handled under absolute
prohibition. Like for inst. I was in
certain town in Jersey a vile ago
and was setting in cafe talking TO
the mgr. Of same and all Of a sudden
a man come in and come to our ta-
BILE and whispered something to the
mgr. and went right out again, and
then the mgr. called the head bar
tender and told him to take all the
rm. under the roof and be sure and
have this done by o'clock and leave
it there till $3.50.
Well, / asked the mgr. what was
the idear and he says that the man
had broughten him word that the
federal officers was on a raiding
party and his place was scheduled for
8 o'clock. He says that the man who
had just been in and warned him was
employed by all the places in the
town to do Just that thing and he
was now making his rounds telling
the mgr. of each place just what time
the raiders would call at that par
ticular place.
I'VE only been caught once" says
the mgr. ''On that occasion the en-
forcement boys dropped in on US
without sending no advance word or
nothing. and Of course they found all
kinds of stuff in the bar. 1t was a
raw deal and we certainly told them
what we thought Of that kind OF
monkey business. and they amt
never tried 1t since"
All in all Il is no wonder that the
congressman felt like the holiday
should ought to be proclaimed, as
prohibition has sure been a godsend
in a whole lot OF ways. It has given
lucrative employment to great
many men that did not have nothing
before only their courage. It has
cemented the friendship between the
U. 8. and Canada. 1t has give gals
and women a new interest in life and
something to talk about besides hair
and children. And It has made our
govt. appreciate the enormous extent
Of our coast line and how tough 1t
would be to defend same VS.. invasion.
AS far as 1t affecting the present
and future consumption Of alcohol is
concerned. why person that said
that drinking in the u. S. was still
In its infancy would be just about
hitting the nail on the hammer.
