Although the disturbance caused by
been increasing in intensity along with
the abnormal growth of the industry
the full extent of the interference
caused by this one item was never
thoroughly realized until the air was
cleared recently for the transatlantic
b~roadcasts. From 10 until 10 80 p. m.
on he nights allotted to the English
transmitting stations it seemed TO the
casual listeners as if every receiving
set within 1000 miles was sending out
It's own distinctive note, ranging in
tone from the cultural of a bass TO
the chee-wit, chee-wee of a songbird.
With these troublesome sounds pollut-
ing the ether, reception from England
was impossible. Since that time, ex-
perts have been busy seeking ways
int means to allay the growing evil
OF r~adiating receivers. the type of set
which causes the trouble.
There are several sets of receivers
that a be made to reradiate, but the
most common of all is the so-ealled
single circuit receiver" This set Is
usually distinguished by its vario-
coupler, the outer coil Of which serves
as both primary and secondary and the
rotor ball as a ticker feedback to con-
troll regeneration. If this rotor ball in
these sets is turned too far, the re-
ceiver emits a squeak which can be
heard from one block TO a mile, de-
pending on the amount Of battery volt
age applied to the tube and to the type
of tube in use.
There are ways By which the single
circuit SET can be altered which viii
make it nOn-radiating. One of these is
TO convert it into a three-circuit set by
adding a variometer in the plate cir
cult and using the rotor ball of the
coupler as the secondary. II the rotor
is kept turned as far as possible con-
sistent with good signal strength the
energy generated by the tube will not
be fed across the air space between
rotor and stator with sufficient inten-
sity TO bother adjacent aeriaIs.
One other method to follow tn eIimi-
nate this interference, which is con-
stantly on he increase, is to utilize the
principle of a semi-aperiodic primary
such as is found in the circuit de-
veloped by A. J. Haynes of New York
city and known as the Haynes circuit.
The diagram on this page shows
the simplicity of the tuning and de-
tecting units. The tuner is essentially
the same as any variocoupler with the
exception Of the number of turns of
wire on the ball rotor. To work prop

run down its resistance increases and
gives rise TO noises that are annoy

 The structural work virtually is com plete now, and only the finishing re mains to be done.
 Every precaution has been taken in the construction of this apartment to insure amaximum of light and ven- tilation, lack of which has proved dis astrous to so many apartment. houses in the past. The building is built fac ing Highland avenue, with two large wings extending backwards from this front structure. A wide courtyard lies between the inner sides of the two wings, and plenty of space remains be- tween the right wing and property next to it.
 120 Apartments
 The building, when completed, will contain 120 apartments, ranging in size from two to seven rooms. Because of marked preference for four and five-room apartments, the majority or these will be of that size.
 Besides the apartments, each floor will have a fully equipped parlor and lounge room, with tables, davenports, easy chairs and floor lamps. The main floor will be used for lobby, lounge room and dining room. The office will also be located on this floor, together with number of telephone booths.

 Three perfectly equipped automobiles which are used on the smaller jobs, one of the features of the Mason-Dulion business, are constantly in use.
 The Mason-Dulion company has scored a tremendous growth since it began. Three places of business have been outgrown and even the present shop, at 1927 Fifth avenue, occupied for two years, is becoming cramped and plans for removal to new quarters in October are being made.

 Mir. Dulion, who has.abeen in active charge since the deatR of his partner eight years ago, began work as a mes senger boy when he was 13 years old. Working out his apprenticeship and later into the field plumbing, a dream of his own company became reality II years ago.

 The present company, which began in the partnership, has grown into busi- ness employing 32 plumbers and r helpers. Besides Mir. Dulion. those in charge are: Mrs. Mary McGovern, head of the office staff; Herman Hud- sun, estimate supervisor, and R. A. Brand, who has charge of the shops.

ly, are clearly apparent. The combined values of these five structures repre- sent many millions in value and the tax able wealth of fthe city is increased just that much. Birmingham is made more attractive as city to live in; huge sum of money is spent in Birmingham for labor and materials, thereby afford ing employment to hundreds of the city's brain and muscle workers. All this cannot help but provide a stimulus to business which means an increase, in bank deposits, better business credit and in addition, better business, since the money provided for such finacing is new money collected in all sections of the country.
 The. conservative methods and sound business policy of G. l.. Miller & Go. makes all this possible. The company has an unbroken record of success and nbs investor has ever lost a dollar in Miller bonds, and no Milier-financed building has failed to be completed on schedule time, or to earn a satisfactory profit for its owners.
 The company was founded by Mfr. c. L. Miller and is the outgrowth of the Miller Bond and Mortgage company of Miami, Fla, of which Mir. Miller is also, president.

Dulion Says Birmingham Is Set ting Pace For Entire
 South

An optimistic note in the future for Birmingham construction work is sounded by l.. E. Dulion, who declares the present program of apartment and residential development is practically without precedent.
 There is but one cloud in the sky" he says, .and this is that the cost of materials may go higher, a fact that would put damper on p lans."
 K Mfr. Dulion, as .acfAe head of Mason and Dulion, pluming and heating cofl- tractors, is in close touch with the building and expansion program of the city and his belief in it is founded on conditions in his own busness.
 Some of the recent large contracts let to his firm include the Altamont apart ments, located at Highland avenue and Iroquois street, to be one of the most modern and magnificent of it's kind here; the Rhodes Park Manor, Twenty eighth street and Highland avenue, and the Claridge Manor, Madison avenue and Hanover Circle.
 The Altamont contract, valued at $100,000, calls for some departures in modern heating and plumbing, includ- ing the vapor system, considered one of the most efficient and economical methods of heating yet produced. All materials for this work are being pur- chased in Birmingham.
