FIFTEEN MINUTES OF RADIO EACH DAY
By JOSEPH CALCATERRA,
Rad Editor of Popular Science Monthly
Rsserved

not do that the first time, it will pay
you to disconnect the jacks, take
them apart and clean them thorough
ly and then connect them in properly.
IT you originally soldered the grid
condenser and leak into the circuit.
especially where no soldering lugs
were provided, you may have ruined
the grid condenser and leak. You
may find considerable improvement
in operation by substituting another
grid condenser and leak. 1t is best
to use the grid condensers that are
presented with clips to hold the grid
leak. The connections can be SOL
dered to clips if care Is taken not to
heat them too much.
Care of Tube Sockets.
Do not forget, of course, that a
tupe In socket Is practically useless
II It's prongs are not making contact
with the contact springs Of the
socket. These springs should be bent
up regularly. Do not maze the mis-
take or bending up the springs while
the rest Of the tubes are in their
sockets. To do SO may cost you the
price OF those tubes.
OF all the parts in a receiver, the
batteries are the pieces which re-
quire the most attention. b batteries
should be discarded when the volt
age drops to below 1S volts. You
can use them even when they fall
oeioW that value, but the results
obtained will be poor
Ii you have been using your stor-
age battery for a year or more, you
VIII lind that it will pay you to send
It TO storage battery service sta
ton for overhauling. Sediment lodg-
ing in the bottom of the cells, crack
ing of containers and sealing COM
pound. buckling. of plates and other
such troubles should be attended to
by an expert If the maximum service
is to be obtained from the battery.
An occasional overhauling will in
crease your enjoyment and prolong
the life of your set Indefinitely.

POLO CLUB TO ASK WALES
TO WITNESS MATCHES
Invitation to Be Extended to At
tend British-American Event at
Meadowbrook, L. I.

NEW YORK, July 9.-The Prince
OF Wales will be asked to attend the
British American polo matches at the
Meadow Brook Club, Westbury. Long
Island, Walter W. Wick, secretary of
the United States Polo Association
announced yesterday.
Mr.. Wick said the formal invitation
will go forward from L. E. Stoddard.
chairman of the association, to the
prince at once.
The negotiations concerning the
princes visit have been handled
through the British foreign office, ac-
cording to the statement of the
American polo officials, and the for
NAL acceptance of the invitation is
sued nearly a month ago probably
Will be announced from the other
side of the Atlantic. However, the
American officials, referring to re-
ports to the contrary, stated that
they have been informed through un-
official sources that the report con-
cerning the princes contemplated
visit are absolutely accurate.
During the visit of the American
team to England in 1921, when the
historic trophy was brought back to
this country after it had rested in
state at the Nottingham Club since
1914. the Prince of Wales, with King
George and King Alfonso of Spain,
attended every match.

Give Your Set n Periodical Over

No matter how well you frightened
connections to binding posts and SOL
dered connections to wires and ter
minals when you made the set' you
may find that binding post connec-
tions have loosened and soldered con-
eotions may have corroded. wise
radio fan will therefore touch SOL
dering iron to all soldered connec-
tions and tighten up the binding
posts every three to six months.
Such a procedure requires very lit
tie time and you can then De sure
that your trouble is nos caused py
loose connections and corrodeo
joints. .,.,r. ..-...
In spite of the fact that your set
is inclosed IN cabinet, dust Will hnd
it's way into places where 1t is not
wanted-in between condenser plates
for instance. This accumulation OF
dust can be removed very easily by
passing a pipe cleaner between the
plates Blowing between the plates
is sometimes effective, but is not al
ways practical, especially when the
set is ipclosed and 1t is hard to get
to- Blowing also has the effect in
many cases of blowing some of the
dust from the plates. but of blowing
other dust into the places vacated by
the dust you blew out from between
the plates.
Bearings of variable condensers
should be kept free from oil. 1t is
often wise to wrap a little absorbent
cotton around the end of toothpick
and clean OFF the oil from the bear
ings.
Points to Watch.
When connections are soldered to
switchpoints on the back of the
panel, very little soldering f1Ux
should be used and care should be
taken to wipe away any traces OF
soldering f1ux which remain. An
other point to watch is not to apply
too much heat, as that will soften
the panel and cause the switch con-
facts to loosen.
Another place where soldering fux
causes trouble is at the jacks. In the
first place, make sure tnat only a
very little soldering flux and solder is
used. Then be sure to clean away
every bit Of soldering hux after the
joints have been soldereA Uyou did
