crystals and the public was stung.
To-day crystals of good quality are
available. and this is resulting in gem
eral use of them again.
1t has been found that the crystal
which gives the best results in all re-
spects Is very high grade of silver
galena used with a fine adjustable cat
whisker. A fine wire not heavier than
32-gauge should be used The heav-
Ter the WIRE the more it cuts the crys-
tai. The reason for using a fine wire
with light tension is that il reaches
into the ridges where the most sensi-
tive spots are. and avoids cutting into
the crystal. Heavy wires destroy SEN
sitive spots and thereby impair de-
tecting ability.

WOMEN IN DEMAND
AS POST OFFICERS

Women just will take command
When a woman appears radiantly on
the scene, all the mere males become
as meek as lambs and hang around pa
tiently TO be told when TO fetch and
carry. There may be hard-boiled eggs,
fellows who boast themselves he-men,
who rebel against the fact, who
wouldn't let any woman boss them
no. no, not they!
Even they are not half so indie
pendent of milady as they fondly
imagine themselves to be. Sooner or
later they succumb, pleasurably, along
with those OF their brethren who are
witching eye TO fall for anything that
may be commanded Of them. Anyhow,
woman soon runs the ship of state,
vote or no vote
And so in the Legion. Women may
not be numerous in the enrolment
But they WELD power. And posts are
recognizing that fact by electing them
TO offices. The women have paved the
way for that by their willingness, their
faitkfulness and their devotion.

Reasons Why Crystals
Are In Great Demand
Crystals are coming back

Crystals are coming back
Some Of the early sets needed all
the power they could get, and this
was responsible in many Instances for
adding a tube which was used as
detector Crystal detectOrs gradually
waned in popularity
Now, however, since circuits of
the reflex type have been perfected.
there are unmistakable signs OF a re-
viyaI of the popularity Of crystals.
Their use is based on sound prin-
ciDles. The so-caIled soft tube used
as q defecter has tube noises; a crys-
tai rectifier has none A crystal is
cheap; a tube Is not There is no up
keep cost Of crystal II consumes
no current; a tube does. No tube
gives the clarity and purity OF tone of
a crystal
In addition TO the fact that early
sets needed the extra tube. prejudice
against the use OF crystals was also
aroused by the fact that so many poor

circuit by employing a Tariometer as
control is preferred in place Of the
ticker feed back method when using
a loop antenna directly in the grid
filament circuit
The above circuit shows two-step
audio frequency amplifier TO build up
the signal strength, as il is not ad-
visable TO attempt reception on loop
with a detector only. Now II must
be remembered that what we are az
ter is not a means of getting the
greatest possible volume Of sound In
the phones from a given signal, but
a means OF getting good clear recep-
ton, free from interfering noises
The loop antenna affords the best
means of accomplishing this without
the use of any special form Of ap-
paratus.
The loop antenna, however, is far
from being perfect in this respect and
permits considerable static TO pass
into the detector, but being the best
we have in the line of ordinary APP
paratus, we will have TO be content
with separating the rest Of the static
from the signal after it has been de-
tected. The resistances shown across
the secondaries of the simplifying
transformers are ordinary Z megohm
resistances. commonly used as grid
leaks The introduction Of these re-
sistances into the circuit as shown
reduces the signal strength somewhat,
but helps greatly in eliminating tube
noises and the still existing static in
terference.-New York Sun

We know that we can reduce the
static signal ratio by reducing the
size of the antenna. However, below
a certain size, the regular form of
antenna is not as efficient collector
as the loop antenna. The loop an
tenna proves TO be an improvement
over the picture molding antenna be-
cause il produces signals equally as
strong, while at the same time the
static signal ratio is much more IA
vorable.
Ordinarily the use of the loop an
fined to receivers employing one or
more stages of radio frequency am
pIification. This should not give you
the impression that il is not prac-
teal TO use a loop antenna in con-
nection with the ordinary regenera-
sible with a receiver consisting of
loop antenna, regenerative detector
and two-step audio frequency ampli-
fer TO hear concerts from stations 500
miles distant with sufficient volume
TO make il enjoyable.
The circuit shown will enable you
TO take advantage of the selectiyity
and anti-static properties Of the loop
antenna without resorting TO the use
Of radio frequency application You
will notice that the loop is connected

cult without employing any form of
