Regenerative Circuit;
Having Under Control

Is your regenerative circuit hard to
control? That is, do you experience
difficulty in eliminating the howIs and
squeals that are generated within the
set itself. If reducing the ticker does
not stop the bowling, it will then be
necessary to insert 400-ohm potentio-
meter across the A battery Of the de-
tector tube. The lead from the tuner
that originally hooked onto one of the
battery leads should be brought to the
contact lever of the potentiometer. By
moving the contact lever to the left or
right the howl or squeal will diminish
gradually until it finally stops Turn
ing down the rheostat ON the detector
will also help some.

Condensers Which

Be Built for Small Cost;
Little Space.


The principal feature of this variable
condenser is the small sum for which
1t can be made, the small space 1t takes
on panel and the comparatively
steady variation of capacity obtained.
The parts required for its construction
are as follows:
Two pieces of hard rubber measur-
Ing I by 2 inches and % by IL inches
respectively (when mounted on q
panel only one piece Is required).
One piece of mica.
Two brass plates (see Fig. p.
Two binding posts.
Four screws.
One insulating knob.
The knob has a sharp ring into
which Is screwed a large threaded rod
O about two inches long as shown in
Fig. 1. This rod extends through the

The Spectrum

only visible in part to human vision.
Below the red at one end and above
the violet at the othec, as we all
know, are colors which are invisible
to us, and whose quality we cannot
conceive. We know, however, that they
are appreciated by the eyes of some
insects.

II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best
Or. KiImer'S %Swamp-Root

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten! The
reason is PLAINTIFF article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that mas real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited to those who are in need Of it..
A prominent druggist says, Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation / have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case il shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large a
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that il fulflls almost
every wish in overcoming kidney, liver
and bladder ailments, corrects urinary
troubles and neutrahzes the uric acid
which causes rheumatism.

SHARE IN RESPONSIBILITY
OF MAKING SCHOOL LEVY

The voters of the Independent, in
dependent class A, joint independent
joint Independent class A, rural high
and joint rural high school districts
must assume responsibility for max
ing part of the levy for the main
tenanee and support of the school,
because of section So of the Idaho
school laws. This section was passed
by the seventeenth session of the
Idaho legislature and became effect
i've Jan. 1, 1924. This section does
not involve any additional levy, but
changes the authority for making it.
Under the previous law the board
of trustees in each of the above
named districts could make a levy of
10 mills for the maintenance and
support of the schools. If an addi-
tional levy was needed, the trustees
could apply to the state board of ed
ucation for permission to make an
additional levy up to mills. This
made possible a 15-mill levy for
maintenance and support.
Under the new law, the board of
may levy mills for main
tenance and support If additional
levy is needed, the trustees must call
an election of the voters of the
school district. At this election the
voters NAV make lew IN IN mills
The z mills thus voted, plus the
mills levy made by the trustees,
make the Is mills possible under the
Did law.

remains in the hands

The amount of levy for schools is
