Miss Grace Fisher, chief deputy clerk of the District Court in the 4th division, has received word from her brother Walter Fisher from Port O Spain, on the British Island of Trini- dad, off the coast of Venezuela. MT. Fisher left Fairbanks last November for Seatte as guard for prisoners. He then proceeded to New York, left that port about the middle of February for the diamond fields of British Guiana, and the trip as far as Port O Spain has been beautiful, MT. Fisher says. He was sick only one day on the trip and as there were only three more days on the boat and the weather was fair, he was prepared to enjoy the re- mainder of the run to Georgetown.

The heart of this circuit Is the crys

should be purchased. 1t may be either
variable or fixed, although the latter
is preferable, as 1t is set at its most

of further adjustments.

seven months, and when using 201-A

equaled the best regenerative receiver

used, both in distance and volume. As
TO operating a loud speaker, that de-
pends on what the constructors opin--
ion of working loud speaker is. Cen
orally, the volume on local stations is
too great with headphones. If 1t is de-
sired to bring the signals from this
receiver up to dancing intensity"
straight step of audio can be added by
connecting the primary of the audic
transformer TO the output jack or
phone leads of the reflex set. The rest
Of the circuit is the usual audio-fre-
quency hook-up.

Quite Important
Homemade Adapter Pro.
vides Cushion Support
for Dry-Cell Tube.
BY w. 7. z. PRICE


Most of US have found by expert
ence. or otherwise. that soldered con-
nections are more satisfactory than
unsoldered connections. Yet we have
no conjunction as to pushing a dry
cell tube into an adapter, and then
pushing the adapter into standard
tube socket, thus making eight con-
nections which are not only unsoi-
dered, but not even as good as the
average binding-post connection In
a three-tube set there would be "a of
these doubtful connections, II of
which would be In the grid and plate
circuits.
The homemade adapter described
here. not only eliminates half of these
poor connections, but also provides a
perfect cushion support for the tube.
The adapter can be made in about 10
minutes, and at no cost whatever.
First procure a burned-out or bro
ken tube with standard base and break
away the glass and the cement which
holds it in place. Then heat the ter
minals sufficiently to melt the solder,
and withdraw the element wires To
each terminal of the UV-199 or C-299,

at the lower end. Introduce these
barred ends into the hollow terminals
of the standard base and solder in
place, clipping off any excess wire
which may protrude. (See Fig. L.
