FARMER AND
SICK COW

COW suspected of having tubercu-
losis and then found the farm it
was kept on. Fanciful as 1t may
sound, here Ii the recent occur

States Department of Agriculture

veterinary inspector stationed in

casted from Pittsburgh on the &C.
tivities of the Bureau of Animal
Industry. One of the talks was
on the subject of tuberculosis
eradication. His interest thus
aroused turned to one of his own
cows which had been nOticeably
unthrifty and affected with bad
cough.
He went to the local office of
the Bureau of Animal Industry for
advice. The inspector in charge
informed the State representative
Of the case. The State man then
made three futile attempts to
reach the farm by following the
directions which the farmer left.
Failing to reach the inquirer in
this manner the farmer was
"paged" by radio from station
KDKA. 1t was announced that
efforts had been made to reach
him and If he were listening in to
get in touch again with the office.
Two days later the farmer came
to the office. Arrangements were
then made to conduct the State
representative to the farm for an
examination of the suspected ami.
NAL. The symptoms were suspicious
and arrangements were planned for
an official test.

QUESTION BOX.

Philip Morris-How many pairs
Of phones can be connected to a set
using three tubes without affecting
the strength of the signals?
Answer: Two pairs Of phones can
be connected in series with this set
without affecting the signal
strength, but the more phones are
added the decrease in energy will
be more more marked.
j. Abner-What are the methods
OF coupling that can be used in a
radio set?
Answer-There are three methods
OF coupling. Conductive, inductive
and capacitive. The first method
Is when two circuits are directly
connected together. Inductive cour-
ling is obtained where two circuits
are connected only by the Undue.
ton between a coil in one circuit
and a coil in the other circuit.
Capacitive coupling is obtaine.j
When condensers are used to con-
meet two circuits together.

gether, 1t will be found that in a
short time the wires viii ccrrode.
This corrosion places an Insulating
coat on the bare wire. This coating

the aerial proper.
VarIOmeter Trouble.
]. r. Latham-I have built a
standard three-circuit tuner using
two variometers and a variocOupler.
With this set 1t is impossible to
tune in stations above 400 meters.
have been told that this is due
to the variometers Deiag too small
and not having enough wire on
them. Is this true?
Answer-It Is generally the case
that when a two variometer coupler
set will not tune in stations above
400 meters the fault lies in the con-
struction Of the variorneters.
Sam Bandler-I have constructed
the three-tube Ambassador set ac-
cording to specifications furnished

densers are necessary and must be
connected as shown.
The set uses tubes Of the same
characteristics throughout, and they
are all ampifiers, such as the
UV-201-A or C-30i-A. These tubes
draw but half an ampere and. can
work with dry cell IA. batteries.
Two sets of these in parallel will
last about one month and a half
used ore hour daily.
The third tap on the secondary
Of the neutroformer is to connect
to the balancing condenser, the
other terminal of which connects
to the grid of the preceding tube.
This eliminates any feed-back eff.
fects that might occur through
capacity transfer or cupling.
The potentiometer terminals are
connected across the filament Of
the third tube. The movable arm
is connected to the grid return
side of the transformer, and this
balances the potential on the grid
to prevent oscillations. This in
strument may be Of 800 ohlns or
400 ohms, and the latter is better
but is not so readily obtained.
Two double circuit jacks are con-
nected, one in the first audio stage
and one in the second. These Jacks
should have good spIingy leaves.
Wiring may be done with bare
copper Of Is gage or square bus bar
according to the desire Of the
builder. Spaghetti is used sparingly,
and If the instruments are laid out
properly none will be necessary.
The filament and plate battery
binding posts are mounted to the
rear of the set on a strip of hard
rubber, and connections for the bat.
teries are brought out through the
rear of the cabinet.
One ninety.volt "B'' battery will
provide plate current for the four
tubes. One AZ volt &C" battery is
connected as shown in the grid re-

This is probably the reason that
