Howling

Ever experience howl;ng between
the stages of an audio frequency am
plifier?. If the transformers are placed
too close together, magnetic leakage
is caused by the escaping lines of
force from the core into the air which
passes from one transformer to the
other and therefore destroys the cleo
trical balance. AS result the cir
cults are placed in state of unbal-
ance, resulting in series of screams
and screeches in the phones or loud
speaker.

clergy and the monks were kind to
these servants, who earned positions
of trust on mines and ranches, some
of them becoming in time very wealthy
men though still rated as slaves Then
came the Inquisition. All were inn
prisoned, nearly all were tortured on
the rack, and fiogged In public with
five hundred lashes. Even the ten
gentlemen landed by Hawkins as hos
tages for his good faith shared the fate
Of the shipwrecked mariners who,
some in Mexico and some In Spain,
were in the end condemned to the gal
leys. And those who kept the faith
were burned alive. From that time
onward, whatever treaties there might
be in Europe, there was never a mo-
ment's peace for the Spanish Indies.
Englishmen were at war with Spain
until the Inquisition was stamped out.
and the British liberators had helped
to drive the Spaniards from the last
acre of their American empire.
When Hawkins returned to England,
Mary, Queen Of Scots, was there
prisoner. The sailor went to Eliza
beth's minister, Lord Burleigh, and
proposed a plot. By this plot he en-.
tered into treaty with the queen of
Scots to set her on the throne. He
was to join the duke Of Alva for the
invasion and overthrow Of England.
So pleased was the Spanish king that
he paid compensation to Hawkins for
his losses at San Juan d'Ullua and
restored to freedom such of the Eng
fish prisoners as could be discovered.
Then Hawkins turned loyal again, and
Queen Elizabeth knighted him for fool
ing her enemies.

Neutrodyne Connections
and Careful Soldering

When connecting up the neutro-
dyne the soldering should be done very
carefully and under no consideration
should acid be used as soldering fux.
The most desirable flux to use is mix
ture of alcohol and resin. Some of the
no-corrode soldering pastes on the mar
ket are permissible, if the joints are
carefully cleaned Immediately after
soldering with alcohol or gasoline. An
other very important point in soldering
is to use soldering copper that is hot
enough. Cold soldering means high
frequency resistance and poor me-
chanical strength in connections.

Making Condenser

The following Is method for max.
Ing condenser of considerable capac-
lily for use in preventing sparkling of
vibrators in rectifiers, where not too
high voltage is employed. Get some
scrap soft rubber such as rubber corks,
tubing, or elastic bands and dissolve
them in benZine (highly inflammable).
The solution should have a consistency
Of thin mucilage. Take piece of
canvas slightly more than twice as
large as the condenser in length, and
in the center paint thin layer of rub
Der. In few minutes this will be dry.
Then place sheet of thin tinfoil on
the layer, the size of the tinfoil being
such as to leave a quarterback margin
Of rubber around, and a one-inch lead
projecting. Paint another thin layer
Of rubber on the tinfoil and, when dry,
repeat the whole process, alternating
the rubber and foil. When the height
has reached about one-half inch apply

American Flour Wins

A milling firm of Hardin, China, has
offered for sale in the local market
flour ground from imported American
wheat This wheat was imported via
Dairen and amounted TO only a few
carloads, as the local miller wished to
experiment first. However, as the
grade of -four obtained from this
wheat is very much cheaper and is
superior to the local product, it is be-
lieved that the -four ground from
American wheat will occupy first place
in the local market in the future. This
mill is also placing ON the market a
new grade of flour in original Ameri-
can packing.

screw press will prove very handy for
this. Then proceed again with the
rubber and tinfoil. When you think
you have enough layers, the thickness
of the condenser being optional with
the maker, fold the condenser up in
the projecting ends of the canvas and
place two rubber bands over the can
vas to keep It in place. The connect
ing stubs are then carefully soldered
each to lead and the wire brought
under the elastic bands so as to reduce
pull on the foil projecting, as shown In
the diagram. If the solution Is made
thicker, and also the layers Of rubber,
the condenser can be made to with
stand higher voltages.

Water In Batteries

The electrolyte of storage battery
should be kept half an inch above the
tops of the plates at all times. The
cell or battery should be kept clean;
free from dust and dirt that may col
lect on the tops. The cell should not
be permitted to remain idle for any
length of time without being charged
Keep the voltage well above Is volts
per cell. While charging keep all
flames away from the battery.

Solder Joints

To prevent corrosion where spices
are made in mending aerials and to
reduce the resistance to the lowest
value by insuring good contact, all
joins should be soldered. In receiving,
the resistance due to corrosion of the
wires at the joints tends to weaken
the strength of the signals.

Those people beyond the borders of
the cotton country who are under the
impression that the cotton grower is
rolling in wealth and that the price he
receives for his product Is high should
know more about the cotton growing
industry. Cotton has cersed the South.
II sends women and children into the
fields and II Is large contributor to
illiteracy.
There Is very general, but erro-
neous, belief that most of the cotton
crop is grown on the big plantations.
The truth Is that the bulk OF IL is
grown in the hill country and on small
farms. The small cotton farmer can
not survive unless he uses the labor
Of his wife and his children at chop

Arkansas and other cotton states
therefore are made to conform to the
cotton crop. As a result children are
forced TO attend school during the hot
months Of summer, so as to make
up for the time lost when they were
picking cotton In the fall and were
preparing ground, Planting cotton and
chopping in the spring.
Misapprehension as to price Is as

WOMAN MAY GIVE
KEYNOTE SPEECH
FOR DEMOCRATS
Would Be First Time in
History Of Major
Politics.

New York, April PA woman for
the first time in the history of the
country's major political parties, may
sound the keynote of the Democratic
party's 1924 principles and preside as
temporary chairman of the Democratic
national convention in Madison
Square Garden next June.
The possibility was admitted when
it was reliably reported last night
that the subcommittee on convention
arrangements had the choice of Il
woman under consideration. The sub
committees choice will not be made
known until after the middle of May.
Although members of the sub-com-
mittee, as well as Cordell Hull, chair
man of the national committee, de-
clined to discuss the matter, there was
no denial that the suggestion had
been made and received with consid-
cradle favor. The committee was said
to have gone so far as to discuss sew
eral of the party's foremost women
politicians, and it was reported that
the name of Carrie Chapman Gait
had been brought into the discussion
in connection with the post.
