ILLINOIS CENTRAL EXPANDS QUARTERS Big Moguls Make $22,OOO lm-
 provement Necessary

New engines purchased by the Illinois Central railroad are too big to get in the roundhouse at East Thomas. Con- sequently the railroad took out per init at city hall Wednesday to make extensions that will cost $22,OOO.
 A brick and concrete extension will be made, according to S. J. Holt, super. intendent. By making the roundhousa longer and taller the big rail leyiathans can squeeze in, he said. The new engines are the largest yet brought south and will be used largely in freight traffic, officials say. They will begin arriving in Birmingham this week.
 Other permits issued by Inspector J. F.. Spencer brought the total for
 Wednesday to S95. 5.OO0-one of the best days of the year.

A Few Pointers on Soldering.

More amateur constructors come to
grief in the process of soldering the
connections of a radio set than with
any other part of, the construction of
the set.
Soldering itself is a very simple
operation when you get the knack
of doing it. When you do get the
knack you wonder why it was that
you could not solder when you first
tried to do it. The trouble with most
fans, however, is that the procedure
looks so simple that they wade right
in and try to solder up the set the
first crack off the bat.
There is no royal road acquiring
any art and this truth applies just as
much to soldering as it does to any
of the other mechanical and cultural
attainments.
The man who takes his time and
gets the knack of doing the job right
by painstaking application and per-
SiStence until he knows he can do a.
good job, is the one who will have
no trouble with loose connections and
cracking noises later on
Proper Heat Essential.
The first essential in soldering is
to be sure to get the iron heated to
the proper heat that is, sufficiently
high to melt the solder quickly and
enable you to pick up a portion from
the strip: and a heat that is sufficient
to heat the parts to be soldered to a
point where the solder will flow
easily on the surface and make a
good joint.
1t is not desirable to heat the iron
to too great a heat, as that will keep
the tip of the iron dirty and covered
with oxide, making it very difficult
to pick up the solder. 1t is useless
to heat the iron red hot with the idea
that if a little heat will make a good
job a lot of heat will make a better
The tip Of the iron should be kept
clean, bright and well timed The
process Of timing the iron is a simple
one. The iron should be heated to a
point where the point will cause
soldering paste to sizzle when dipped
into the paste. A small can of solder
ing paste should be kept handy for
this purpose. Immediately after dip
ping the point into the paste apply
a piece OF solder to the point II the
heat is sufficiently high, the solder
will melt as soon as it is touched to
the tip and will spread over the tip,
giving it a bright silvery coating.
If this coating becomes duh very
quickly it is an indication that the
iron is being heated too much. What
you can do in that case is to lower
the flame or allow the flame to heat
the iron farther from the point
