Advantages and Disadvantages Of
Various Forms of &. F. Inter.
stage COUPLINGS.

AS the hot summer season wears
on and reception conditions with the
ordinary types of receivers become
poorer to a certain extent, due to
decreased range and increasing trou-
BILE because of static. the average fan
begins to ask whether there is any
thing that can be done to mitigate
the effects of these conditions.
The solution to the problem in the
use of more sensitive sets which can
be used with loop aerials and short
indoor aerials.
This necessitates the use of some
form of radio frequency ampllfication
to build up the weak radio impulses
before they reach the detector. There
are various forms or methods for OBJ
tanning radio frequency amplification,
the various forms differing mainly In
the method by which the successive
stages of amplification are coupled
together.
For long wave lengths the resist
ance-coupled stages give very good
results However, for ordinary
broadcast reception on short waves
this form of amplification is not very
satisfactory and can be thrown out
of the reckoning.
Another Form OF Coupling.
Another form of coupling makes
use of a transformer consisting of
two windings, primary winding
which is connected in the plate cir
cult of one tube and the secondary
winding which is connected in the
grid circuit of the succeeding tube.
These windings are placed close to-
gether in inductiVe relationship, so
that energy from the plate circuit
of one tube is transferred into the
grid circuit of the next tube.
In still another form the coupling
is obtained by connecting a common
of one tube and the grid circuit of
the next tube.
The various methods each have
their advantages and their disad-
vantaGes.
As mentioned before. the resistance
coupled method is not efficient on
broadcast wave lengths The induc-
tlvc-coupl1nS method. using a pri
mary and secondary winding, forms a
very efficient form of coupling, but it
also has certain disadvantages. If an
air core is used. the effective wave
length range or stations which can be
received is very small. although for the
wave length for which the transformer
is designed the efficiency is very high.
Air Core Coils.
ohe VI the iletiouS uSeu 10 over
come this difficulty is TO use air core
coils with variable condensers to
change the constants of the circuit
and enable the set TO respond to diff
ferent wave lengths.
Another method used by manu-
facturers to broaden the wave length
range of transformer of that type
is to use some iron in the core of
the transformer. This has the effect
of broadening the wave-length range.
tut it also decreases the efficiency or

LOS ANGELES, CAL, June 2O.-
Horace Greer is going back to

late yesterday by a jury of ten
women and two men of shooting

\ Greer's attorneys said that Miss
Normand had promised to hire him
back If he was freed after the
Dimes trial.
The jury acquitted him yester-
day after three hours and ten min

The chauffeur's plea was that
he shot Dimes in self-defense after

FOG DELAYS START OF
DANN-TO-DUSK FLIGHT

NEW YORK, June 2O.--A low
ceiling of fog prevented Lieutenant
Russell Vaughan from; hopping off
this morning on his trans-continen-
tai dawn-to-dusk flight.
After complete preparations had
been made. for Maughan's de-
parture, a blanket of fog suddenly
descended and the flight was called
off.
Vaughan was impatient to begin
his third attempt within a year to
race the sun from coast to coast
and had ordered the plane brought
on the field. Major Davenport
Johnson, of Mitchell Field, and Cap
tain John Platt, jr., meteorological
officer, persuaded Vaughan that
the dense mist might prove dis.
astrous. They pointed out that a
collision with the Allegheny noun.
tains was not unlikely.
Tomorrow will be the longest day
of the year and Vaughan is hoping
that Nothing will prevent him from
utilizing it.

Clapping her hands with delight
when informed by the court that
she would be sent to Occoquan in

for Girls on Conduit road. Sadie
Brooks, alias Sadie Bowser. called
AN inccrrigible by the officials Of
the school, was sentenced by Judge
Mattingly to serve six months for
petty larceny today.
Sadie was charged with the theft
of a dress from Robert Fox: two
dresses and seven suits of under.
wear from a large downtown de.
|partment store, and two pairs Of
shoes from Harry kaufman. After
pleading guilty she begged the court
not to send her back to the reform
school from which she has escaped
a half dozen times. An official Of
the school said that they could not
keep her for more than two or
three days at a time.
The court said that lie was in
clined to be lenient at first, but
when she burst into applause. ac-
centuated by few ''hurrahs." he
was convinced that che should be
sent to jail. She received a SEN
tence of sixty days in each Of the
three cases and left the court room
smiling happily.

SLOW THINKERS CAUSE
MOST MOTOR CRASHES

CHICAGO, June 20.-Three to five
per cent Of Americas motorists
cause all the highway accidents, nc
cording to Richard E. Kropf, SUI
preme regent of the Royal Arcanura.
Removal of those who cannot think
quickly in an emergency will mean
the cutting down of traffic accidents
to minimum, he believes.
Eliminating the unfit drivers is
becoming more and more essential
as our streets and highways near
the saturation point of traffic" said
Mr.. Kropf. Automobile and traffic
experts agree that only a small part
of those who drive may be classed
as reckless, selfish of inefficient. In.
stead of limiting the number of auto
mobiles, as has been suggested. ade-
quate tests to remove unfit drivers
will allow greater use of highways
and much smoother operation"

where the Supreme Court is located,
a distance of nearly two miles. The
late President Roosevelt was perhaps
the most energetic of Chief Execu-
tives. He usually left the Executive
Mansion on horseback, and, dismount-
ing at some stop outside of the city
limits with a companion or two, would
tramp for miles through the woods
and open country. Mr.. Roosevelt
was a trial for the secret service men
assigned to guard him, because he
took a keen delight in escaping from
the White House at an early hour,
jumping hedges in the grounds to
avoid the vigilant guardians.
Among the present Cabinet, Secre-

lieves in walking as a form of exer-
else, as does Secretary of the Treas
