is necessary to provide a means
whereby the negative charges may
be allowed to leak off from the grid,
the value of the resistance path must
be adjusted to permit them to leave
in such a manner and in such quanti-
ties as to keep the value of the mega
tive charges on the grid at the proper
value for best operation of the tube
as a detector.
The reason why a tube will some
times operate as detector without
the use of grid leak is due to one
or all of the following reasons: The
tube may be one of the gaseous or
low vacuum type and the gas pres
ent in the tube may form a conduct
ing medium of high resistance be-
tween the grid and the filament,
thereby acting as d grid leak re-
slstance: the tube socket may be
made of poor Insulating material,
Whlch affords path sof high re-
slstance between the grid and fila
ment terminals of the socket, thus
acting as the grid leak resistance;
the base of the tube may be made of
poor insulating material whose
action is the same as that of a poor
socket material; the dielectric ma
terlal used in the grid condenser may
nave certain conducting properties
"nlch allow it to act as grid leak,
permitting the charges to leak from
the grid side terminal to the filament

DENIES BAN ON ALIENS
WHO D0DGED SERVICE
Federal Judge Geiger Disallows
Claims of United States Regard
ing Naturalization.

By the Associated Press
MILWAUKEE. Wis. September 81.
Aliens who claimed military ex-
emption during the World War may
become citizens, Federal Judge F. A.
Geiger ruled here yesterday, when
he disallowed claims of the Govern
ment through it's naturalization ex-
aminers. The decision affects more
than 200 applicants for citizenship in
the eastern district of Wisconsin.
In his decision Judge Geiger said
he had not lost sight of the conflict
OF opinion of other Federal judges
but believed that the rights of natu
ralization may be said to emanate
from sovereign grace"
He quoted section of the draft
law, which says subjects of Ger
many residing in the United States,
whether they declared their intention
of becoming citizens or not, and all
ether resident aliens who have not
taken out their first papers shall be
exempted"
He declared the Governments po-
sition was incongruous. in that it
was suggested that November H.
1918, was once decided upon as the
proper point of commencement for
naturalization work, following the
war. while another decision says the
final date of the peace treaty was
decided upon.

Tho Grid Leaks Place I'm the Radio
Sun.
Practically every radio fan who
dates his interest in radio back about
3 years when the boom first began
can remember the crude devices used
at that time to perform the functions
of the grid leak.
A piece OF fiber or even cardboard
with two terminals and number of
ink or pencil lines drawn between
and connecting the two terminals
formed the grid leak resistance. No
one knew the resistance value of the
element and very few cared to in
vestigate and experiment sufficiently
to get the best possible value for
most efficient operation. OF what
use was it anyhow to experiment
with the device when slight tempera-
ture and moisture changes in the at
mosphere played havoc with it's con-
stants.
In most cases all that was done
was to either draw more lines or
| erase some of them until the re-
ceiver operated without the noises
which manifested themselves when
the value OF the grid leak resistance
was very far from being of the cor
rect value. The chances that the re-
sistance would be adjusted properly
were very slim.
Because Of the fact that a receiver
will operate with different values of
grid leak resistances. few fans realize
| the Importance OF a proper adjust
ment of the grid leak resistance.
1t is the general custom to recon
| mend a grid leak of from l to 10
megohms." leaving it to the, con
structor to use his own judgment as
| to what size to use. A grid leak OF
| two megohms is usually decided on
as the most convenient size and is
generally used by most constructors
of sets.
| This size will give results under all
| ordinary conditions, but it is not al
ways the best to use.
Function of Grid Leak.
The function of the grid leak in the
radio circuit is first to bring the grid
| of the detector tube to the proper
| normal grid voltage to permit the
tube to operate at maximum effici-
ency as detector and second to pro-
vide a path by means of which the
excess negative charges which ac-
cumulate on the grid may leak of
| from the grid and find their way back
| to th" filament of the tube. While ii
