 ''It was a most gratifying success" !" said Judge Raymond MaeNeille, com menting on the Poor Mans court held in city hall last night.
 ~Its advantages are expediency, as seventeen cases were handled in less than two hours Also, there is the ab- sence of cost. It would have cost the principals in these cases all the way from $4 to $20 to put them in our mu- nieipaI court"

on improvements to existing radio

great deal of wiring In the detector
and amplifier circuits has to be done
over unnecessarily. They may have
built or contemplated building two
step amplifler to save this additional
wiring. but how many have realized
that by including the detector with the
amplifiers far more wiring could be
saved?
Then, again, there are the battery
connections to be made in using sep
arate two-step with an existing single
tube set-double wiring to the "a" and
''B" batteries, with an extra "B" bat
terry, and very frequently shorting and
feedbacks.

for doing this In a recent article In

Grounded Filament
Gives Best Results

Ground the filament."
Perhaps you have heard this expres-
sion or have read 1t somewhere In
print and have wondered Just what 1t
meant and why the "filament" should
be grounded.
Grounding the fllament means SIM
ply the connecting of wire to one of
the filament leads of the tube and at
taching the other end to some kind of
ground, such as a cold-water pipe, a
radiator or the like. BY ground" is
meant any conductor that leads eventu-
ally to the earth and which, preferably.
passes some distance into the ground,
such as the water system of city.
If possible, ground the filament to
some other pipe than the one to which
the ground wire of the set is attached
taching this see that the surface of the
pipe has been filed or scraped bright
and shiny, SO that the clamp will make
good contact.
"Groundlng the filament" generally
results in smoother action of the de-
tector tube and often eliminates or

fects. Body capacity" Is the effect

When and Where to
Use Your Amplifer

Receiving sets are complete with
out an amplifier. In other words the
amplifier is something apart from the
regular, receiving set; 1t Is an acces-.
sorry; IL can be added at any time to
the usual run Of receiving sets. So
lhe question arises US to when and
where m amplifier should be used.
In order to secure louder signal
With good quality or to receive dis
tant stations some means of amplifca-
lion must be adopted. The signal as
1t is received on the antenna must be
umplifled before 1t reaches the de-
tector. Detector efficiency decreases
with decrease in the energy received,
SO that If we can increase this energy
before it reaches the detector better
efficiency will follow.
One of the most common methods Of
obtaining radio frequency amplifica-
tion is the utilization of regeneration in
the detector tube itself. Since perfect
rectification does not take place in the
detector tube a certain amount of
radio frequency flows in its plate cir
cult so that by coupling this circuit
back to the grid the amplified signal
strength is made to re-energize the
grid and cause still greater change
In the variations of the plate current.
Regeneration may be accomplished
by means of capacitative or inductive
back coupling or by combination Of
both. Short wave receivers are often
constructed with variable induc-
tance In the plate circuit which can be
then tuned to the signal frequency.
Sufficient voltage Is thus built up
across the plate circuit to feed small
amount of energy back to the grid
through the capacity between the grid
and plate within the tube itself.
For long wave lengths the tube ca
pacity becomes sufficient for good re-
generation and some additional means
must be provided such as inductive
coupling between the grid and plate
circuits.
This consists of placing coil of
wire in the plate circuit and coupling
it back to the input or grid circuit Of
the tube.
Another method employs more
vacuum tubes ahead Of the detector
tube with suitable coupling between.
to transfer the energy from one tube
to the next at the signal frequency.
AS with audio frequency the coupling
between tubes may be resistance. in
ductances or transformers but they
cannot have the same values as in the
audio frequency coupling.
At short wave lengths ampiification
is accompanied by more or less regen-

pacities of the tube rs mentioned in
competition with detector regeneration.

in the amplitier tubes and to overcome
