members, it is pointed out, have nu-
merous lines of descent.
Capt. Richard Henry Greene, a Civil
war veteran, formed a Mayfiower So
ciety in New York state in 1894. Con-
necdcur, Massachusetts, and Pennsyl-
vania quickly followed the example.
These four states met in 1897 at PIym-
outh, Mass, and organized the Gen.
eral Society of Mayfiower Descend
ants.
A state society was chartered in
Illinois in June, 1897. The societies
of the District of Columbia and Ohio
came into being in March, 1898. New
Jersey followed in August, 1900; Wis
consin, Rhode Island and Michigan In
February. 1901. Later state societies
were chartered in Minnesota, Maine
and Colorado. There followed period
of steady growth until 1908, when
California formed its society. The
state Of Washington's branch was
chartered in 1912, and later charters
were granted TO societies in Kansas,
Indiana and Nebraska. The Mime
sofa society is now inactive.
Roughly speaking, the Society of
Mayfower Descendants has, / should
say, about 500 members" declared
Frederick Dwight, secretary of the
New York State society. "Massachu-
sets. as might be expected, heads the
list with membership of more than
1.6eo, while New York state has about
$50. I doubt if.the national member
ship Is more than a small percentage
of the persons who have Pilgrim blood
in them in this country. Our con-
crosses at Plymouth are becoming bet
ter attended each time they are held.
At the last congress there were pres
ent IL officers of the general society
and IA qualified delegates from all
over the country. Some Of them came
from as far west as Nebraska and
California.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1924-11-21

stock is virile-the descendants OF the
original Pilgrims have very largely
pushed their way TO the front in local,
state and national affairs.
I'VE do not intend merely TO sit
around and glorify the past contin-
ued Mr. Dwight. ''The General So
ciety of Mayfiower Descendants Is
now actively engaged in definite pro-
gram of patriotism. We are striving
to educate the foreigner who does not
know the history of the country TO
which he has come as an immigrant.
We want to make him realize the ire
mendous background there is in early
Colonial history. The Society of May
flower Descendants isn't an organiza-
ton formed for mutual appreciation.
1t is an active working. force for Amer
icanism.''
The membership of the society Is
on the increase. Since the last con-
gress was held at Plymouth in 1921
the names of go new members have
been added to its rolls In the last
year alone 173 new members have been
enrolled. In the West and the Middle
West the membership is increasing TO
such an extent as to make probable,
in the future, meeting in Chicago
In Is states there are regularly
chartered state societies which, taken
as a whole, form the General Society
of Mayfower Descendants with what
- 5o61o5 a~ sxcor@;r,oY&ol b1o5oror
ters' at Plymouth and actual national
headquarters at Boston.
The increase in the membership ID
declared to be due to a healthy growth
and a newly awakened interest In
the founders of our country. Many
other patriotic organizations have not
much more than held their own since
the war, losing members steadily
through an increasing death rate, while
the Society of Mayflower Descendants
has gone steadily ahead. It's require
ments for membership are high. When
at the Plymouth congress 1t was voted
TO have the line of descent of all pro-
spective members traced by the his
torian general of the national society
before permitting these applicants to
be certified by the state societies, II
was simply making part of the con-
stitution something which was already
custom Not only must the pro-
spective member have state sanction,
bur he must also have national sane
ton, before he can join the Mayfower
descendants.
When congress voted to take part
in the tercentenary of the Pilgrims
the following was made a part of the
records:

Pointers on Saving
Tubes From Blowouts
BY HERBERT S. HALL, {. {.

Many radio fans when trying out a
new circuit and at other times are
very much afraid that their tubes
might be destroyed by the B battery
potential being accidentally connected
cross the flaments
If two 221z-volt B batteries are con-
nected in series with a resistance Of
approximately 10000 ohms as shown,
a small voltmeter will show practically
no voltage across the terminals A and
B, that is, less than Il volt, an amount
which may be safely applied across the
filament of any tube without danger.
Yet when terminals A and 3 are ap-
piled to- the plate circuit, in the usual
manner the volume of sound will be
the same as though a 22h volt battery
were used in the regular way.
There is one very good use of this
arrangement other than for testing
purposes. When leaving the set to be

of the two 22ik-voit batteries is used
in the 20,0o0-ohm resistance and the
remainder is used in the impedanee of
the plate circuit of the tube, phones.
ETC., which is almost equal to the high
resistance mentioned above. There
fore, like water finding its own level,
the potential throughout the entire
circuit and in each part proportions
itself according to the resistance of
each part. which for the detector tube
and phone is about 22!s volts. But if
a milliammeter be connected in place
of the tube and phones the reading
will be about 2 milliamperes and the
voltage almost nothing. -New York Sun.

Battery Switch With
Good Locking Feature

The man who would borrow your
automobile without your permission is
somewhat hampered by the fact that
you have the key TO the switchboard
in your pocket. If you are radio fan.
you can now rest assured that soon no
one will tamper with your set or leave
the tubes burning while you are away,
thanks to the designer of a new bat
terry switch with locking feature.
Children are apt TO turn on the
radio set and leave the tubes burning
after they have finished listening in.
Anyone unaccustomed to the operation
OF your set may damage the tubes or
batteries, and without a switch Of
some sort You may often forget TO
turn off the tubes when you are
through with your set.

Two Pairs Phones and
Speaker a. Same Time

II is sometimes necessary TO nse
more than one pair Of phones or loud
speaker in radio set at the same
time This generally means thai the
ends OF the pairs Of phones must he
tied together In some fashion, ana
come apart ar the most interesting
part of the program. To avoid an
this trouble merely insert two or
more double circuit jacks in the SET
Connect the outside prongs in series
with the plate circuit and the -.R-
battery lead of the tube in which the
extra phones are to be used. Then
connect all the inside prongs of the
extra jacks together That Is. the
two prongs of each jack should be
fastened together by soldering a piece
OF wire across them. Then as n1any
pairs Of phones may be connected IN
the circuit as there are jacks provided.

The popular duo-refIex circuit has
been further improved by the engi-
neers in the Electrical Research lab
oratories. Another stage of audiO fire.
quency amplification has been added
TO the three-tube set This gives the
circuit greater receiving range and
more power on the distant stations.
Simplicity of construction and ease
of operation and tuning has not been
sacrificed by the additional stage and
no extra controls, other than rheo-
stat, have been added to the circuit
The selectoformer can still be used
in place of the variocoupler.
The selectoformer is essentially 2
fixed coupler for use in any circuit
where a transference of energy must
take place between the aerial circuit
and the grid of the first tube. The
tuning is accomplished by means of
a variable condenser across the sec
ondary windings in place of~the in
efficient method of taps on the primary
and a variable secondary In addi-
ton to reducing the losses that are
usually present when taps are used,
the Selectoformer turns the reflex into
a set that can be calibrated as TO
wavelength. The location Of a sta
ton can be logged by the number of
the dial where it came in and be tuned
in at some future time by setting the
dials at their former positions
A deciding saving of tubes and bat
terry current results by the use of this
type of circuit. The equivalent of two
stages of radio frequency amplifica-
ton, detector, and three stages of au-
do frequency application. are OBJ
tanned by the four tubes The radio
