Advantaxes eS Uaans n stage of
Tuned Radio Frequency Ampii-
AcatAoA.
There has been an ever-increasing
tendency in the radio field to get
away from tho troublesome qualities
of regenerative receivers and substi-
tute for them some type Of receiver
which, while giving the same results
in distance and volume obtsined with
regeneratie receivers at the same
time eliminates the squealins inter-
ference caused by the regenerative
receivers.
To expect TO get the same results
from a commemorative receiver
having the same number of tubes as
the regenerative receiver Is out of
the question, because the regenera-
tive receiver makes use Of the prin-
in. the first tube. causing the tube to
act not only as a detector. but also
as an amplifier by bolstering up the
weak received signal by a strong
Local osciiistton an,tn produced s by the
The solution to the problem Of get
ting the same distance and volume
lies in the use of some form of radio
frequency amplification. The use Of
dHOtneT tupc forming one stage OF
radio frequency amplifcation makes
up for tho loss OF the regenerative
feature; makes the set easier to con-
troll; gives better and clearer repro
duction, and last, but not least, elimi-
mates the troublesome squeaIing ia
your neighbor's set, which usually
results from the use of radiating
regenerattve receiver.
i Added Expense Small. =.
Before the introduction of the low
current consumption tubes the addi-
able because of the extra drain i'm
posed on the filament battery. Now,
however, this point fs of minor i'm
portance because the extra current

slightly more than that required for
simple regenerative set. but the
added expense is small when COM
pared with the advantages obtained.
Fixed transformers, designed to
cover a wide band of wave lengths
to permit reception on all the wave
lengths used in broadcasting. can be
| used to couple the radio frequency
stage with the detector. This type Of
transformer coupling. however, will
not give as good results as are OBJ
tanned with some form of tuned cir
cult transformer. ---
There are now many forms of
tuned circuit transformers which will
give very good results and are to be
preferred to the fixed or untuned type
of transformers. In one type. the
vario transformers, a double cable is
wound on the stator and rotor of a
| miniature variometer. The cable is
| wound just as single wire would be

ends, as would be the case when a

obtained by winding another coil

the extra winding and the stator

FOR PUBLIC AUDITORIUM
President Andrews of Chamber of Commerce Makes Rccommenda- ton at Annual Meeting Today.

A recommendation for the con- struction of public auditorium is contained in the annual report of President Joseph R. Andrews of the Chamber of Commerce submitted at the annual meeting today. On this point, Mir. Andrews says:
 Now that we have our hotel, we will be called on to entertain con- yention meetings. We have no place that is suitable. I believe that the time has arrived when we should agitate the subject of an auditorium. "A municipal audi torium' to be financed by the city and administered by an independent commission with a seating capacity Of 35 hundred people. A main hall which may also be converted into an athletic arena. for indoor sports, with ample space to provide for ex- hibits and in addition to the main auditorium, to have small confer ence or committee and office rooms. This is suggestion for our direct ors to consider, it will take time and hard work to accomplish"

EARTHQUAKE-PR0OF
 HOMES FOR MANILA
Discovery Of Earthquake Lines in Philippines Leads to Protective Measures by Islands.

Manila, Oct, 2A-Manila Is study ing what steps it would be advisable to take to guard against devastating effects from an earthquake such as visited Tokio a year ago. Speaking of the importance of this geological work, Dr. E. F. Dickerson, a mem- Der of the local earthquake board, said recently:
 "The recognition of recent earth quake lines of the Philippines is of particular importance in the con- struction of dwelling houses, business buildings water supply, cables and power transmission schemes. It is of particularly great importance to recognize these lines in advance of destructive earthquakes along them, in order that certain precautions be taken in egineering structures.
 Manila is built upon the delta of the Pasig river and it's soil is very unconsolidated That such loosely filled areas suffer far n ore severely than bedrock localities is evidenced by all large earthquakes, On this &C., count Manila's higher buildings should be built upon a pile-con- structed foundation and preferably of reinforced concrete or steel frame construction, very strongly tied"

MOTHER IS GIVEN
 VERDICT OF S20,O00
Son Lost When UnseaWorthy
 Vessel Sank in Atlantic

New York. Oct. 27.-A verdict for $20,000 damages today was awarded Mrs. Adelaide I. Nelson, of Phila- delphia for the death of her son, Lawrence 20 a member of the crew of the steamship Frederick, which sank in mid Atlantic in January, 1916, while en route from this port to Archangel with a cargo of war munitions.
 The federal district court jury re- turned the verdict held that the Frederick's owners, Charles W. Morse. his son, Benjamin W, and Captain Mark l., Gilbert, had been guilty of conspiracy in sending the vessel to sea with the knowledge that she was unseaworthy. The 30 members of the crew all were lost. Attorneys for the Morses said they would appeal the verdict to the United States circuit court of ap- peals.
 The Frederick, witnesses testified, was considered so unseaworthy by engineers who had brought her here from Baltimore that they later re- fused to put to sea in her. She had been an Atlantic coasting freighter for 47 years, they testified, and never before had attempted a trans Atlantic passage.
 Attorneys for Mrs. Nelson read in- to the record. messages found in a bottle cast mp up one of the Orkney Islands in 1917. These messa -es, written by men of the crew; said the vessel was foundering in a gale, and made no mention of German mines or subnRrines. The Frederick's owners contended that the vessel had been the victim of one of these destructive agencies
