Care in Connecting
Jacks for Amplifers

Where vacuum tubes. and a number
Of steps of amplihcation are used 1t is
sometimes advantageous to be able to
connect in on the detector tube or on
one or more stages Of amplifcation.
Telephone jacks are great conven-
fence to those who know how to con-
meet them for this purpose. If con-
nected improperly they are sources
Of constant trouble.
Jacks are generally used to shift
from one stage to the next. There ase
other types which may be wired to
control automatically the filament
current This arrangement Is con-
venient one and results in great saw
ing of battery power.
Wiring the jacks in an amplifier cir
cult Is ofttimes difficult problem and
unless the builder has some knowledge
OF them 1t Is best to leave them alone
An amplifier jack poetry wired will
spoil the efiiclar:y of the set as q
whole.
1t is Fest to avoid the use of flux
or soldering paste when soldering the
connections to the terminals Of the
telephone jacks. AT times builders
make an untidy job Of this so that
when the fux is heated it soaks
through and finds Its way to the pa.

Dairy Cow Is Necessity,

''As feed'prices continue TO soar, and
the price Of land increases, so will the
dairy COW replace to IL very large eX-
tent the beef steer, the sheep, and the
pig as a producer Of human food" pys
John NJ. Scott Of the University of
Florida experiment station. "And
about the only rival the GARY COW has
is the busy hen"
The dairy COW and the hen are the
only two farm animals that produce
good. nourishing food day after day,
when properly cared for. They pro.
vide foods that are Indispensable In
the home.
"Whnt is home without milk and
eggsi' asks Mr.. Scott. These items
enter SO largely into the preparation
of food for the family. the COW mean
ing life itself to thousands OF chill.

I'VE owe the cow and the hen debt
that can be paid only by giving them
the very best of care that they may
produce the maximum amount Of
food" says Mr.. Scott. And neither of
them are now receiving the attention
that will be theirs when their full
value is realized.

Very Easy Matter to
DESTROY "B" Battery

A short circuit on "B" battery
will destroy 1t in very short time
because the cells are small and the
chemicals are rapidly exhausted un-
der heavy currents. Often the first
warning of this condition is when the
warmth of the battery is noted. The
only preventive is to connect fuse
in the circuit that will blow when
too much current Is drawn. This Is
II protection that few sets aave; 1t
is standard practice in all other fields
of electrical application.
Changing the direction 1T the an
tenna may increase the signal strength.
If the antenna Is built ike 7. the
ends should point toward the station
that the operator desires most to hear.

High Signal Intensity

ally impressed upon them would over
load them as has been many times
stated.
In general there are practically two
forms of using vacuum tubes as radio
frequency dmplifiers. /. e. the coupling
transformers may be either tupable or
fixed. The tunable type transformers
are so designed that they may be
tuned, usually by variable condenser
In the other type the transformers
cover a certain range without tuning,
The latter are "broad" and make for
unselectlve reception.
1t is imperative that If selectivity is
to be had where radio frequency ampll-
tication is employed the coupling trans
formers must permit tuning adjustment
by.a variable tuning device such as Il
variable condenser. Because the trans
former is actually tuned to the signal
with this type of radio frequency am
plification. not only great selectivity is
obtained, but greater a1nplification is
likewise secured.
Either vacuum tube, two or three
electrode or any of the many forms of
crystal rectifiers of high frequency
currents can be used as rectifier, we
are told. However, in reflex circuit,
due to the particular location in the
circuit and inherent characteristics OF
the detector, crystal rectifier will be
more satisfactory. BY the use of the
proper crystal rectifier an excellent
controlling effect on the stability OF
the entire circuit may be had. This
feature is not generally known, but is
demonstrated in the stability Of the
circuits using this form of detector.
Not every crystal rectifier which
might possess high rectifying proper
ties will he found the best for this pur
pose. due to the fact that the crystal
can be made to provide stabilizine
effect on the reflex action of the cir
cult. The fixed type of crystal natural
ly requiring no adjustment. If correct
Fly designed. affords the best form OF
rectifier for the reflex circuit.
Another point of interest is the fact
that not every audio transformer car
be used in a reflex circuit. In a reflex
circuit the audio transformer is asso
ciated with the radio frequency cur
rents Of the circuits and requires de
sign and construction differing from
the regular audio transformer.

Hints for Amateurs
Who Build Own Sets

In any circuit where one side Of the
condenser is connected to the ground
1t is best to ground the rotating plates,
thus doing away with some Of the
hand-capacity effects.
For real Ok work 300-foot an.
tenna with series variable condenser
works very well. Although this is not
as seIective as shorter one, surpris-
ing results will be experienced for
long distance reception as well as
local aulibility. This is an old ANA
teur stunt.
In wiring a. receiver set all connect
ing wires should be short, direct and
well spaced from each other.
Wire used for winding inductance
coil should have as little insulation
Immediately surrounding the wire as
possible. This adds to the distributing
capacity of the coil and results ir
loss of power and audbility.
1t is worth while to use dead end
switches for disconnecting the major
part of the coil when not in use. Why
waste power by having the unused
portion in the clrcnit?
For clearer reception use C bat
terry in each step of amplification. Thi.
will double the life of the B battery
as the plate will only draw about hall
when C battery is connected in ths
circuit.

AMBER MARMALADEIS
GOOD DURING WINTER
Citrus Fruits Are Handy to Re.
pIenish Stock of Sweets.

prepared by the United States Department
of AEriculture)
When the supply of preserves made
from summer berries and fruits begins
to run low, the stock of sweets may be
easily replenished by the use of the
citrus fruits. A delicious marmalade
can be made by combining an orange,
a grapefruit and lemon of average
size, with sugar and water.
The following recipe has been
standardized by the United States De
partment Of Agriculture:
Amber Marmaiade From Orange, Grape
fruit and Lemon.
1 orange. weighing about ounces

ounces
j lemon. Weighing about 3 ounces
Select especially tender. clean, yell

bsemishes. The thick skinned varie-
ties are better for this purpose than
are those having thin, tough peel,
since this thin peel is likely to become
still tougher. after cooking with sugar
and acid.
Wash the fruit we'll Remove the
skins and slice them very thin. Cook
this peel in quart of cold water, three
times for five minutes each, dlscarding
the water after each boiling.
Cut the fruit pulp into thin slices,
removing the seeds and rag" and COM
bine this sliced pulp with the par
boiled skins. To each weight or meas
ure OF fruit add three times Its own
weight or measure of water and boil
25 minutes. Then add equal weight
or measure Of sugar and boil rapidly
for 25 minutes longer. or until the
jelly stage Is reached. Put at once
into scalded jelly glasses. and when
cold cover with parafiin.
The amounts of fruit mentioned
above make about five pints Of marina.
lade (12 to IA glasses).
The marmalade should have a clear
amber color, not at all Of brownish
cast; 1t should be jellied throughout,
and 'the strips Of peel which it con-
tains should be transparent and tender
When larger amounts of fruit are
used, longer periods OF cooking will
be necessary before the jelly stage is
reached. because Of the larger amount

SEASONING SALADS is EASY
Imagination, Ingenuity and Supply Of
Ingredients Are Chief
Requisites.

Recipes for salad dressing may be
found in any good cook book. Recipes
are not needed for combining fruits Or
vegetables into palatable salads. says
the United States Department Of Agri-
culture. Imagination. ingenuity and
good seasoning shelf are the chief
requisites for success in salad making.
One must be able to imagine the taste
of various materials In combination,
and to reject those that would for
some reason conflict. A little ingenuity
in experimenting, however, may bring
out unexpected and pleasing favors.
The seasoning shelf may contain
number Of ingredients which give yes:

The principle Of the reflex circuit de-
pends on the ability of three-elec-
trode vacuum tube to permit currents
of different freQuencies to pass
through 1t at the same time. The fire.
quencies of the currents induced in n
radio antenna system are very rapid,
varying in value from about 500 to L.
600 kilo-cycles per second. depending
on wave lengths. This current in the
antenna system is generally termed the
radio frequency current. In reflex
system these radio frequency currents
are usually ampllfied to increase their
intensity before impresslng them on
the rectlaer or detector, which con-
verts these high frequency currents
into currents OF audible frequency
After rectification these currents are
then amplified as were the radio cur
rents by three-eleetrode vacuum
tube. Here lies the particular advnn-
tage of the reflex system over other
systems.
In other systems, after rectification
the rectified radio or audio currents
are amplified by additional tubes for
this purpose. In "A reflex system be-
fore these input radio frequency cur
rents are rectified they are REIN
pressed back on the tubes which am
plified them at radio frequency, and
when rectified are reamplified at audlo
frequency before being passed on to
the receivers or loud speaker to be
converted to sound waves.
There are number of methods OF
utilizing the reflex principle. among
which are the type of reflex wherein
the reflex action proceeds from the in
put to the output tube in direct pro
gression and where the reflex action is
performed in more than one tube
Then there is the so-called inverse du
plex system wherein the reflex actor
is not progressive, but is inverted back
toward the input tubes In the Erla
circuits the reflex action is progressive
from the input, but is only utilized il
one tube. Due to the compexity OF
controlling radio frequency it Is moi
possible to successfully stabilize a sys
TEN wherein the reflex action is inciud
ed In more than one stage. 1t is no
a matter of balancing the loads in th,
various tubes, as 1t can be readily
shown that the loads caused by an,
audio signals on the tubes in thest
circuits are never such that the few
