One trouble that few experiment.

regenerate. This is due entirely 10
the wiring. The connections 10 the
two coils and the aerial and ground
must have a definite relationship to
get them just right. Furthermore,
both coils must be wound in the same
direction. If these conditions are not
met with the set will operate simply
as a single tube, two circuit, nOn-re-
generative. As such, the concerts will

Assuming that both coils are wound
In the same direction. the wiring
should be accomplished as follows ::
The ground post should be connected
TO the end of the inside turn Of the
secondary, the outside turn OF the
primary and TO the positive side Of
the filament and A battery. The aerial
post should go 10 the inside end of
the primary and the minus post Of the
B battery. The outside end Of the
secondary should go TO the grid con-

From this the vernier plates should

The Constitution provides that In

THE United States government
has refused to enter into
the treaty Of mutual assistance
proposed by the League of Ma
tons and has made known its deci-
sion TO the assembly of the league at
Geneva.
Believing that the fundamental prin-
ciple of the treaty is TO provide guar
antees Of mutual assistance and TO es-
tablish the competency of the council
of the league with respect TO any de
cisiens contemplated, the government
said that in view of the United States
Constitution and of the fact that
America is not member Of the league,
it would find it impossible TO give its
adherence TO the treaty.
The communication from Washing
ton added that the government has
not failed TO note that under article
Il of the treaty any state may give its
partial adherence provided ii is pre-
pared to reduce its ornaments in com
tormity with the treaty.

The wires must not come IN contacf
with each other where they cross.
They are kept apart by a long in
sulator. This arrangement viii prove
particularly useful where the antenna
can only be erected In position
which brings it parallel to a power
line. 1t viii be found that about 90
per cent of all induction hum viii be
eliminated With this antenna- The
reason for this is that the two fields
of the two wires are assisting each
other at one end and are opposing at
the ether, thus neutralizing any induc-
ton hum that otherwise might be
heard.
