AS precautionary measure, how
ever, first make sure that there nre

Getting back again to the actual APP
plication: If the audio amplifier is

very simple. as seen by the accom-
panying sketch. If, however. the am
plifier Is In the same cabinet with the
receiver 1t will be necessary to con-
meet two wires to the primary of the
first amplifying transformer and bring
them out to the phone which Is to be
used as a transmitter.
A telephone Jack and plug will sim.
plify cutting the "transmitter" in md

open-circuit jack. This can be left
permanently connected to the set, as
1t will not affect Its operation in any
way, except when the head phone Is
plugged in.

cut off the detector circuit by turn
ing the detector rheostat to the

Another similar experiment which
produces rather unexpected results
consists Of connecting the loud speak
er to the input side of the ampllfier
and listening with n pair of head
phones plugged into the second stage
The loud speaker will act as a micro
phone and pick up any sounds pro-
duced near 1t. These will be amplt-
fed and reproduced in the head phones
with tremendous volume. If the loud
speaker is located in some other part
, of the house 1t will pick up voices
from the same room and reproduce
them in the head phones as clearly
as though the listener were in the
room where the person was speaking.
This last experiment may prove
highly entertaining, If conducted on

Various Ways to Avoid
Bad Service in Starter

The starting motor takes Its current
brushes. 1t sometimes happens that
these brushes for various reasons are
not making proper contact, and this
means more or less failure of the sys-
TEN. When trouble arises in this sys-
TEN these brushes should be carefully
examined. Again one of the cells of
the storage battery runs down before
the others, which are therefore called
upon to do more work than they are
able to handle. Also q, grain of grit or
foreign matter may get between the
contact points of a switch and make Il
world of trouble before 1t is discovered
and dislodged.

The following experiments, while in
volving no new principles or theories
may nevertheless prove interesting to
the broadcast listener, particularly
when n little variety in the evening
program is desired.
All the apparatus required is two
stage audio amplifier, single head
phone and loud speaker Ia single
phone with horn attached to it will
do for loud speaker).
For experiment No. L: Connect the
head phone to the input terminals of
the ampifier, 1. e., across the primary

2O1-A Tubes Use Less
Current Than Old Stvle

Thousands Of broadcast listeners
who have radio receivers consisting of
detector and two stages of audio-fre-
quency amplification are still using the
original UV-201 tubes purchased when
they installed their sets. These tubes
have been superseded by the UV201-A's
which consume much less current than
the old-style tubes. Consequently,
when the inevitable change is made to
the new tubes, a greater resistance
must be provided in the rheostats. If

Is to continue using rims that have

ROME. February 23.-Failure of
agreement on tonnage caused a serious
breach in the naval disarmament con-

this afternoon announced her intention
of Withdrawing from official participa-

conference merely as an observer.
The question of Spain's tonnage was

which the conference voted were too
high. What the figures were could
not be learned, owing to the air-tight

The delegates declined to issue a
