ElENa!llS
Says

More about the college star ant
big league baseball.
Manager Lee Fohl of the Boston
Red SoX, who has chaperoned somt
highly tontcd collegians, has somt
definite views as to their status.
"lm not wild about the college
star" says Foil. MY chief objec.
ton is that too few of them take the
game seriously.
"The money involved, rather than
the love for the game, is the motive
of 4 majority in taking up big league
baseball.
when you pick up sandlot stal
with promise, the salary question is
his last thought. He is delighted
with the chance to make good.
"On the other hand, when you
start talking business with the col
lege star, his first question is usual
~ about how much he is to get for
signing.
His next thought is two-yca1

Fohl's contention is that Il college
player who comes to the majors in
such a manner. lacks the proper in
centive to make good. He has his
club tied up, so why worry. There
is no doubt about Foil being right
Foil also points out another fea-
ture where the attitude of the col
legian works against team harmony
Zone year on a major league clut
that managed we had a college
star who had been given neat sun
of money for signing" says Foil
THAT was good business on his part
"On the same club that year were

Fohl's thought is that the educated
ball player takes up the professional
game as a sideline rather than :
means of livelihood. OF course there
arc exceptions, like Eddie Collins
and George Sisler.
Lee Foil is conservative because
he believes it is wise, and it is.

BY LEON BISHOP

Here Is a diagram for portable
three-tube multi-audi-plex circuit, using
wv 1919 tubes, operated entirely from
dry batteries.
Procure a $50 degree type vario-
coupler Wind the stator, S, with 40
turns of No. % double cotton covered
wire. Starting from the ground side
of the stator, tap every four turns for
five taps, utilizing 20 turns of wire
connected to the switch. SW, which is
in turn connected to the aerial circuit.
The rotor circuit, r, may have any
where from fifteen to fOrty-five turns
of wire, depending upon the amount of
regeneration developed in the circuit.
If regeneration is too strong, the num-
Der of turns may be reduced until
violent regeneration Is subdued.
This is not a singie-circuit, but is
really two-circuit tuner of very sim
pie adjustment. Radiation from this
circuit Is almost impossible.
Across the stator, s, is connected
a .0005 inf. variable condenser, pref
erably the 23-plate type. Care should
be. exercised that the rotary plates
are connected to the ground, as this
will eliminate body capacity effects.
The grid condenser, CT, Is of the
mica type, .00025 inf. The grid leak,
GIL, should be anywhere from two to
five megohms, the higher the better.
The rheostats, r and r, are 30
ohms, one rheostat controlling the de-
tector tube, while the other rheostat
controls the two amplifier tubes.
The ga" battery consists of three
cells Of dry battery. Oftentimes a
three cell &C" battery, now common on
the market, may be used where COM
pactness is not essential Three blocks
of "B" battery will be sufficient for

cult 1t would not be advisable TO get

This method, however, is clumsy, and
a good job is rarely done. If the lit
tie instrument herewith described is
used for this purpose, it wiz be SIM
pie matter to do this work, and clean
contacts will always be assured. This
contact cleaner can be used on both
standard and UV-199 or C-299 sockets.
1t Is made of piece of round wood
1ss inches in diameter and Az inches
long. One end of this piece of wood,
for length of one inch, is cut down
to three-quarters of an inch in dame
ter. The other end is also slightly cut
down for length of about one-half
inch. Two round pieces of emery
cloth of a diameter one-half inch
larger than the ends of the contact
cleaner are now forced over the ends
by means of two copper rings one
quarter of an inch wide. 1t might be
advisable to cut Sits about one-quar-
ter of an inch deep on the edges of the
emery cloth disks so that when forced
in place a smooth surface will be OBJ
tanned. To use this instrument it is
only necessary to remove the tube, in
sert one end of the contact cleaner in
the socket and. while applying pres
sure, twist it from side to side. The
contacts can be cleaned very easily

Never Allow Your Set
to Annoy With Squeals

A warning to the owner of radiating
receiving sets is worthy of eonsidera-
ton.
If you own one of these sets and
tune it carelessly you will interfere
with your neighbours reception. You
(perhaps) know that regeneratiye sets,
that are closely coupled to the anten-
ma. send out wave for considerable
distance If they are allowed TO oscil-
late.
You will be able to detect this by a
squealing sonnd as you turn the dials.
Never let your set squeall 1t
squeals into your neighbor's ears as
we'll as your own. Turn down the fila
ments so that the set is operating just
below the squealing point.

have you TO say for yourself? IN
less you can give good reason for
being here, a very good one, mind you,
you will have to be punished, for by
fairy law anyone who enters our dell
on feast nights must be punished In
some, way. Now, what have you to
say?"
Slippy Goblin was busy trying to
get the sweet, nice frothy pudding off
of his clothes, and l am sorry to have
to tell it, but he licked his fingers and
ate every bit he could, for butterfly
egg pudding is one of the most de
licious dishes the fairies make.
Slippy was frightened. but not so
frightened he could not eat, though
when the queen spoke in such stern
tone he stopped eating and replied. Il

ing In the dell, though not for having
fallen into the pudding" he said.
II came with some of our band to
put back birds egg some bad boys
had stolen, and when it was laid on
the ground we took it. Oh, how those
boys hunted and wondered what had
happened" Slippy laughed as he re-
membered how funny ii was.
"That is my excuse for being in the
dell, but, your majesty, your table was
what tempted me to lose my hold on
the branch, and you know what hap
pened."
'What shall his punishment be my
children?" the queen asked her fairies,
and Slippy's eyes grew big as he
waited.
'He shall be sentenced to stay and
have supper with u.s." said all the
fairies "He was doing good deed
and no wonder he tumbled when he
saw all the nice things we are to
have for supper"
"That is just what expected you
to say" replied the queen.
"Slippy's brothers were pretty sorry
when they heard of the feast he had
with the fairies, for perhaps they, too,
might have been invited to have some
of the good things if they had not run
away and left him when he tumbled

ratio type. Care should be exercised
that the outer winding of the second
airy, unless marked g on the trans
former, should be connected to the
grid of the tube. The other side of
the secondary should he connected to

difference between negative tube fila
, ment and negative "a" battery, for
you are using 30-ohm rheostat.
Forty-five volts is suggested for the
first detector tube and 81 volts for the
two amplifier tubes.
The operation of the set is really
simple, there being practically only
two real tuning adjustments. These
are the variable condenser. c, and the
rotor, r. The switch. SW is used prac-
tically for selectivity only.
In a panel layout the variable con-
denser should be at the left and the
vario-coupler at the right. The switch
contacts should be above the dials In
the center of the panel. 1t is sug-
gested that just below the dials lit

the "a" battery circuit to turn the
tubes ON and off. The two rheostats
can go at the right of the panel. With
the two jacks directly under them.

Two old methods embody either the
use of the crystal or the grid leak
(high resistance) and are fairly effec-

will not work with all. The first
method consists in shunting the crys-

GOBLIN AND THE FAIRIES

THE fairies were holding a very
= grand picnic one night in dell. 1t
was very large and grand affair, be-
cause all of the fairies were there.
All the mOrtals were good on that
night. No one was in trouble; the
mortal children had all gone to bed
on time and so all the fairy folk were
free TO enjoy themselves.
A big feast was prepared on a fiat
rock with a lacy cobweb covering.
Dewdrops crystalline glistened in the
moonlight, making a beautiful table
decoration.
Pond-lily dishes held all the fairy
dainties, and the fireflies. and the
moonlight made a fairyland picture,
which of course it was.
The COLLINS were out, too, but as
their woods were not anywhere near
the picnic ground of the fairies no
one had thought q thing about them.

PULLING YOUR WEIGHT

TACQUELINE PRINCE grew up, af-
j ter her mothers death, on big,
old-fashioned place in the country. Her
experience was bounded by the low,
rambling house; the wide, fragrant
gardens, presided over by the genius
of the place, an old gardener; her In
dulgent father, and relatives.
Jacqueline's formal education was
under the direction of gOverness.
During the mornings Jacqueline was
supposed to pursue knowledge. The
procedure was somewhat as follows:
Jacuueline would be asked TO recite
the first eighteen lines of 1.-THE Canter-
bury Tales; after the opening phrases
she would slow down aud look ex-
pectantly at Miss Smith; thereupon
Miss Smith would supply and prompt
to the end of the selection. Then they
would turn to mathematics. A few
judicious questions on Jacqueline's
part would tap successfully the
springs of Miss Smiths knowledge :;
she would seize the pencil from her
pupils hand and eventually. with a
minimum of effort on Jacqueline's part,
the sums would be accomplished
At twenty Jacqueline was left an
orphan and penniless. The relatives
gathered in conclave. "We were fond
of your father" and There will al
ways be place In our house for you
followed by, "Of course you can make
yourself useful II you want" were
phrases frequently In use in those
days. Then Jacqueiine threw thun-
derbolt by announcing that she had a
job and proposed to be self-supporting.
"But how?-hos>i in heavens name! :"
was the answer And when Jaequeline
explained that sne really knew some
thing about gardens. and that she had
fond a position In a florists shop
they were all divided between relief
and hurt pride.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1924-08-29

But the tricky little creatures were
out that night doing some work be-
sides playing tricks, and it happened
that this work took some of their
band right TO the dell where the
fairies were holding their picnic.
Right into a tree that hung over
the rock where the feast was spread
it took them, too. and when they saw
all the good things on the table one
little goblin called Slippy by his broth
ers because he could slip through the
smallest crack or crevice, crept to the
tip end of a bOugh to get a better
view.
Slippy was so small he could 60 to
tip ends in perfect safety. but this
time he was so intent upon what he
saw that he lost his grip, and down he
tumbled right into the dish of lovely
pudding made from butterfly eggs.
1t was all soft and frothy, and when
Slippy jumped out, there he stood on
the table looking like a tiny snow
man.
The fairies were just getting ready
to sit down when he tumbled, and 1t
gave them a scare, as you can well
imagine, for they thought all their
lovely supper was spoiled.
When they saw the funny little
Slippy all froth they had to laugh,
and one of the fairies told the queen
he ought to be punished for upsetting
their table even if he did make them
laugh.
When the other COLLINS saw what
had happened to poor Slippy they
scrambled out of the tree and away
they ran, leaving their unhappy broth
er alone i'm his trouble.
"Well," said the fairy queen, "what

OPHELIA

NF ALL the fanciful names which
- appeal to feminine taste, Ophelia
possesses perhaps the tenderest mem
cries Though the name signifies
serpent" only romance, youth, and
tragedy are connected with it.
Etymologists declare that Ophelia is
an out-and-out invention of Shake
speare. Certainly her claim to i'm
mortality is based upon the touching
story of the bard of Avon who makes
the gentle maiden striking contrast
for the melancholy Dane of Hamlet"
Without her rosemary for remem-
brance," Ophelia would still exist
among the readers of Shakespeare.
1t is possible that Ophelia is a trans
lation of the old Ormilda, a northern
