and in the majority of sets the loud
speaker Is plugged into 1t for at least
30 per cent of the time. So why not
make the loud speaker a more or less
permanent attachment and use the
Jack for the occasional plugging in OF
the phones? 1t often happens that
music is coming In quite well from
distant station on the loud speaker,
but fading occurs just before the an
nouncer's voice comes In, and 1t Is
necessary to plug in the phones to
find out who they are.
Pulling Plugs Is Annoying.
To pull out one plug quickly and
insert another Is, In the writer's ex-
perience, very annoying. especially If
the cords happen to be twisted up.
The arrangement shown in Fig. 2
is a refinement which saves this an
noyance. and the only thing necessary
is to plug in the phones, the loud
speaker thereby being automatically
cut out.
In this case the single circuit jack
is replaced by double circuit one.
The loud speaker is connected across
the two center springs, so that, nor
mally, 1t is always in circuit. Now

When building a three-coil honey
comb coil receiver, the wiring Of the
set Is usually spoiled by the flexible
leads that must be carried through
the panel. These leads are fastened
to various bus bar connections which

means that when the coils are moved
the bus bar wires are pulled out Of po-
sition. This Is liable to cause a short

point Is that 1t makes very untidy

His attitude toward life and the

ing through its dairy department for

Mr.. Anderson is president of the

and an unusual knowledge of his
subject, and his endorsement there
fore is reprinted herewith in full;

bulls, in arranging and conducting
numerous dairy meetings and demon
strations, and in sending out useful
articles on better methods of dairy
ing. 1t has also enabled dairymen
to get far better prices for Gull cows
by shipping comparatively to Los All
geles and receiving more than top
prices.
