Lightning Arrester Is
Often Most Abused Part

The most abused part Of a radio
installation Is the lightning arrester.
Most radio fans do not know what
the arrester Is and are rather hazy
as to what 1t does. Some fans think
1t is necessary and others omit 1t en-
tirely.
The theory Of the lightning arrester
is quite simple. We have an aerial
extending up into the air like a light
ming rod. This aerial gathers the cleo
trical energy of radio wave out of
the air and conducts 1t down through
the set to the ground. But the aerial
can hardly be called intelligent. 1t
will not pick up the energy of radio
concert one day and the next day re-
fuse to pick up the lightning, which
is several times more powerful. In
fact, it cannot pick and choose at all,
but sends all the energy that 1t can
gather down the lead-in wires. There

mood hands bolt of lightning to your
aerial, 1t is sign that some one will

contact with the filament circuit, In
which case the tubes are promptly
burned out To avoid this take an
electric extension plug of the type
which has two small brass posts on it,
as is generally used in France. With
a file make these two little plugs the
size of the base plugs Of an audion,
and the same distance apart. Make a
little metal plate, one side of which
ts to be held under the setscrew of
the contact post, the other being bent
up and fastened to the socket of a
pocket fiashlight bulb. Insert the bulb
"a 8 or 4-volt one), the second contact
of its base being made directly on the
upper part of the second plug.
This simple arrangement is illus
trated herewith. When an amateur
has hooked up his set and before he
inserts his tubes, he can take this
instrument and place 1t in each tube
socket in turn. If the little bulb burns
brightly, the circuit Is all right; but
IL the bulb burns out, 1t is necessary
to readjust his wiring, thus saving
considerable money in spoiled tubes.

Primary and Secondary
Coils of Transformers

Despite the fact that an audio-fre-
quency transformer is one of the most
used radio parts, many radio fans do
not understand the meaning of the
symbol for this unit or the construc-
tion Of the transformer.
In the accompanying illustration a
schematic diagram of the construction
of the primary and secondary coils is
given. 1t will be noticed that the
primary and secondary coils are Of
different sizes and are wound one
over the other. The primary is always
the smaller of the two, and the sec
ondary is wound over the primary.
The inside of the primary is con-
nected to the plate and the outside Of
the primary is connected to the B
positive. The outside of the second
ary is always connected to the grid
and the inside is connected to the
filament.
The symbol for an audio-frequency
transformer will also be found in the
same illustration and accompanying
this the general appearance of an au-
dio-frequency transformer when look
ing at 1t from the top where the bind
ing posts are.
AS a general rule, the binding posts
of an audio-frequency transformer are

part Of this article, either a UV-199
or the C-299 tube would probably
prove most satisfactory,
This receiver also proves excellent
for permanent use in the home, and
when used for this purpose UV-201-A
or C-301-A tubes are to be desired,
although they are not entirely neces-
sary. When UV-201-A or C-301-A
tubes are used it is best to use stor-
age A battery, as in the long run 1t
will give most satisfactory results.
The apparatus required in the ac-
tual construction of this set Is as fol-
lows:
One coupler, with primary, secondary
and ticker windings having the same
number of turns as shown in the dia-
gram.
One 23-plate variable condenser for
tuning the antenna circuit.
One 17-plate condenser for tuning
the grid circuit.
One .OOO25 mica grid condenser.
One 1-megohm grid leak.
One socket (the type depends upon
the tube to be used).
One rheostat.
One panel, Z inches by 10 inches.
Cabinet, binding posts, dials, bat
teries, phones, etc.
The results obtained from this set
were really very satisfactory. Both
local and distant stations were re-
ceived with good volume, the selectiv-
ity was excellent and the tuning is
simple.-New York Herald.
Palisadian., 1924-08-08

When building a portable radio re-
ceiving set for use during the summer
vacation, one important thing for most
radio fans to consider is the cost of
the parts.
The wiring diagram of the receiver
being described will be found in the
accompanying Illustration. From this
1t can be seen that 1t is very similar
to the standard three-circuit, honey
comb receiver, the chief difference
being that this particular set has been
designed for the reception of broad
casting waves and will work at high
est efficiency when receiving on wave
lengths between 200 and $50 meters,
whereas the three-coil honey-comb re-
ceiver was not designed for the re-
ception of any particular wave band
and will work with fair efficiency on
all wave lengths.
The space required for mounting a
receiver Of this type is very small,
and II 1t Is carefully designed it can
be mounted on a panel seven by ten
inches. Only four controls are neces-
sary on the front of the panel. and
only three of these have to be adjust
ed to control the wave length of the
receiver. The four controls referred
to are the aerial tuning condenser, the
grid-tuning condenser, the ticker
coupling adjustment and the rheostat.
Any tube may be used in this cir
cult and its selection depends upon
the use to which the set is to be put.
If the set is to be used as portable
receiver, as was suggested in the first

What Height of Antenna
Means in Giving Service

The element of the antenna which
determines its ability to pick up or
give off signals Is its effective height.
The term of effective height does not
mean the height from the ground con-
nection to its topmost point, but is
more nearly the average height from
ground connection to the center of its
exposed area. For an antenna consist
ing only of straight vertical wire the
effective height is almost two-thirds its
actual height, while for an antenna
having large horizontal top structure
the effective height is very nearly the
actual height. The only purpose of the
horizontal top element of a receiving
antenna is to give greater effective
height for given actual height.

the right to exercise similar
powers. And 1t says: THAT
in so doing they will not de-
prive themselves of any OF
their own powers, as may be
taken as conclusively adju-
dicated by the Supreme court
of the United States in the
case of United States VS..
Lansa, decided December IL,
1922" Discussing the ques-
ton of the age limit, the
report says:
An age limit is declared. 1t
unquestionably would have
been simpler to have provided
for the regulation and prohi-
bition of the labor of children
and to have stopped there.
But your committee became
convinced that in asking for
this 1t might fail utterly. A
marked difference of opinion
was developed at the hear
ings before the subcommittee.
1t being argued on the one
hand that after eighteen years
of age, girls and boys had
passed the period of depend
ency and were physically and
mentally capable of fending
for themselves, so that the
power to protect them which
was sought by the amendment
could safely be limited to the
indicated age; while, on the
other hand, 1t was argued
that many cases and classes
merited protection after the
age fixed, and that as the
states police power embraced
the protection of its children
during the period of thelr
homage and up to the instant
of their majorities 1t was rea-
sonable to ask that Identical
police power be conferred on
the national government.
Reason Is found in both
points of view. But your COM
mittee finally concluded to In
sert the eighteen-year limita-
ton; because such Limitation
would certainly embrace the
vast majority of cases calling
for protection and remedial
legislation, while the excep-
tional cases calling for legis-
Iation after the age might
arise in one state and not IN
another, and therefore might
safely be left to the wisdom
of each state.

The same number prohibit children under sixteen
years of age from engaging in night work In fac

The Importance of physical examination is more
mandatory before child can receive his working

of educational requirements. Only thirteen states

going to work the child must be able to read and

Wiley H. Swift, director of the department of
legislation and investigation Of the National Child
Labor committee, has analyzed the congressional
vote which passed the amendment resolution, with
the idea of forecasting the action Of the several leg
islatures According to his analysis thirty states
are for ratification. Seven are opposed-Alabama,
Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Maryland and North
and South Carolina. Eleven states divided
Texas, Idaho, Utah, Delaware, Mississippi, Mis-
souri,, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York.
PENNSYLVANIA and Virginia. Ratification therefore
depends upon favorable action in six Of the eleven
states divided against themselves.
Mr.. Swift was correct as to Georgia; Its legisla-
ture has just overwhelmingly refused ratification.
The legislature of Rhode Island (for ratifcation)
is In session, but the Republican senator's have
gone on a political strike and are In Massachu-
setts Several legislatures had met and adjourned
before June 2 these will meet next in 1926. Sew
eral took no action. The legislatures of thirtysix
states will meet in 1925. Alabamas does not meet
till 1927.

are against child labor per Sc will never
theless work against ratification because
opposed to further amendment Of the Con-
stitution and increase of executive bu-
reaus Some are afraid of the eighteen
year limit.
The Republican platform urges prompt
consideration of that (child labor) amend

states"
The Democratic platform says, with
