SCRAPING OFF DISEASE

nHISS FANNY BERGEN, in her col
IN4 lection of superstitions current in
this country, cites the case Cf a man
who cured himself OF fever and ague
by tying himself to an ash tree and
then crawling out and leaving the dis
ease tied there. Kindred methods of
cure are rather common in Europe
especially, IL would appear, in rural
England-and are not infrequently
within this country. Crawling through
a cleft tree, through the low arch of a
bent twig stuck in the ground or be-
tween upright posts set close together.
are some OF the methods OF scraping
off disease practiced In Europe; and
in Britain there are ancient stones
with narrow opening between,
through which men crawl today in the
hope of leaving their Affections be-
hind, just as they crawled through
those same stones for the same pur-
pose in the days when the Druid
prrs-s cut the mistIetoe with their
Coleen sickIes from the oak trees.
The superstition can be traced far
back and is a survival OF primitive
mans sympathetic magic Of the con-
tagious variety. Mr. Caveman rea-
soned something like this: II he
crawled through q narrow opening he
would scrape his clothing Off he
had any or II he did not he would
scrzpe his skin Of-a part Of 1t, at

a New England clergyman, always
told her, when she came to him as

she grew up, she noticed how con-
spicuous by its absence was that
quality in most people Once she hap
pened to make the remark that, II one

not using their own minds, but hers.

"You look just lovely in it, the

The three-honeycomb-coil regenera-
tive receiver is considered among radio
fans to be one of the best types of
sets for the beginner who contemplates
going from the crystal detectOr TO a
tube set. A slight modification of this
circuit is shown in the diagram. II
will be seen that two variable controls
are eliminated by substituting a fixed
primary coil coupled to the secondary.
and thereby doing away with the pri-
mary variable condenser. In this man
ner the honeycomb set is made TO
tune extremely sharp and easy TO adj
just.
The untuned primary coil is made
by wrapping 10 turns of No. % dec.
tying it TO the secondary honeycomb
coil of 81 or 80 turns. This outside
coil should be wound in the same di-
rection as the secondary, to which it
is fastened. The plate coil, which is
another honeycomb of about 80 or 75
turns, is connected in series with the
plate OF the detector tube and the tel
ephone receivers. Around the receiv-
ers and the 3 battery the usual phone
condenser is connected. This conden-
ser is important, as it will assist in
regeneration.
The secondary coil, to which the
primary is fastened, must be shunted
by a good variable condenser. The
better the condenser the sharper the
set will tune and the louder the sta
tions will come in. The movable or
rotor plates of the variable condenser
OF the 21 or 23-plate type connect to

The little Fox boys did not answer,
but their mother came to the door just
then and said: "They got some bees
in their mouths. l think they haven't
been able TO talk since they went out
this morning to look for something
sweet to eat, but l think they got a
mouthful of bees"
That's too bad" said Mr. Bear. 81

the battery side of the circuit. This
will help TO eliminate body capacity"
effects. The stationary plates connect
with the grid condenser. If the con-
denser is of the metal-end type the
rotor plates will connect to the bat
terry side of the circuit and capacity
effects will be entirely eliminated.
The grid condenser is of the mica
type, ranging from COOS TO .OOO25.
The condenser should be shunted with
grid leak of approximately 2 meg
ohms. If the set squeals too much
try another value of grid leak.
In tuning this circuit the tube Is
lighted and turned up TO the usual
brightness. The plate coil is placed
close to the secondary coil, while the
variable condenser across the second
ary is slowly moved back and forth.
This will pick up the stations within
the range of the receiving set. More
careful adjustment is necessary TO
clear up the music or voice, and this
is accomplished by moving the plate
coil TO or from the secondary. II 1t
is found that the set tunes little
broad on local stations the primary
coil should be rewound with less turns.
If six turns are placed on the primary
it will tune a great deal sharper than
with ten turns, but there will be a
slight decrease in signal strength.
This makes an ideal receiving set and
is capable of picking up distant sta
tions. For the higher wave lengths
around 500 meters the secondary coil
may be increased to an L 75.-New

rheostats, that work well with the
UV200, UV201. VII or the Myers tube,
the tubes which are fast becoming pop
ular cannot be inserted into the sock
cts without the possibility of burning
them out, even with the full resistance
in
One well-known radio manufacturer
has realized the fact that in building
set proper provision must be made
along these lines to take care of any
type tube which may be inserted into
the set. This was done by him by
using two separate rheostats for each
tube. one having a high resistance
and the other low resistance Either
rheostat was thrown into use eat will
by means of small push switch.
The idea worked out well, and
brought much favorable comment To
the radio constructors who wish to
take advantage of this feature atten-
ton is called TO the diagram and it
will be seen that an additional unit
having resistance of % ohms is con-
nected directly on terminal of a 6 or
lO-ohm rheostat, and a tap taken off
at this point and connection made to
one point of two-pofnt switch. The
other switch point is connected to the
remaining end of the resistance unit.
1t can now be seen that when the
switch lever is thrown to the left the
resistance in the circuit has the low
value (6 TO 10 ohms), and when
thrown to the right the total resist
ance Of the unit plus that of the rheo-
stat is in the circuit, and will now
protect the low filament tubes from
being burnt out on the six-yolt bat
terry.
These resistance units may be pur-
chased In any radio shop.

"B" Batteries Should
Be Protected From Dust

Many persons buy a ''B' battery,
connect it to the set. place it on
shelf or at the rear of the table and
forget it. The top Of the battery and
its terminals collect large quantities
of dust, more or less moisture and
suffer corrosion from various fumes.
"B' BATTERIES should be protected from
dust They might well be placed in a
box with lid. Dust causes leakage
and spoils the contact at the ter
