Distortionless Amplifca tion-How to
Attain 1t.
So great has been the interest
created by all kinds of trick circuits
and latest developments in the va
rious forms of radio frequency amplif-
cation having as their object the at
tainment of perfection in distance re-
ception with very small aerial sys-
TENS, that the important subject OF
audio frequency application has
been relegated to a back seat and
bids fair to be forgotten in the gen
eral mad scramble
However, the fact that the clarity,
tone and pleasing quality of received
! signals depends on the way in which
the signals are amplif1ed should not
be forgotten.
What does it profit fan if he re-
ceives a signal from a station 1000
miles away if he cannot make it loud
speaker route without calling forth
a diSheartening series of whistles
howls and groans?
Then again, what good is a loud
signal which can. be heard hundreds
of feet from the loud speaker if the
words are unintelligible and the
music a mixture of piercing, shrill
whistles and agonizing noise?
To get signals of considerable vol
ume, such as is necessary to enter
tain large audience, either indoors
or outdoors, it is absolutely essential
that the design of the audio fire.
quency ampliter be of the best; a
design that will give very loud signals
with negligible amount of distor-
ton.
One of the most important develop
ments in the field of distortionless
amplifcation is the method known as
the 'push-pull system"
In this form of amplifier unit two
tubes are connected together as a
single stage of amplif1cation IN such
a way that when the grid of one tube
is negative the grid of the other is
positive
The action is such that the distor-
tion usually found when a single tube
is used in each stage because of the
un~-n action of the tube is elimi-
mated. Distortion in the case of the
one tube per stage system is caused
by the fact that as the grid of the
tube swings alternately from mega
tive to positive and back to negative
again through g. complete cycle the
equal variations of grid voltage from
one extreme to the other do not pro-
duce a true proportinal variation in
the plate current, due to the fact
that the characteristic curve OF the
tube is not exactly straight line.
In the usual case, therefore, the de-
creases below the normal plate cur
rent caused by a varying grid volt
age are less than the increases IN
| normal plate current when the GRO
voltage varies symmetrically about
its normal value.

PARIS BANS CORSET
AND SHORTENS SKIRT
Latest Style Dictates Reflect Olym-

Athletic Women.
By the Associated Press.


PARIS, June 16.-The death blow
to the corset is claimed to have been
dealt by a small group of Paris style
creators who boast that they die
tate the fashion Of the world. They
say the corset is doomed to share
the fate Of the hoop skirt and hustle
The new silhouette which will ap-
pear during the Grand Prix this
month. according to the styIists, will
make it absolutely impossible to
wear corsets. The latest garments
are described as clinging naturally
to the form. avoiding any unneces-
sary fullness around the hips. The
style dictators ruling, combined with
worldwide propaganda for women's
sports and the masculine line in wom-
ems styles generally are pointed to
as responsible for placing the corset
on the defensive for the 1924 season.
The Olympic games also are hav-
ing their influence on the new styles.
Thousands Of women athletes are be-
ing attracted TO the games. either
as participants or enthusiastic on
lockers. With them, stays are i'm
pedimenta- and some OF the trainers
are prohibiting the wearing of cor
sets TO girls who are training for
the various events.
Following the natural lines Of the
body, the new styles will consist of
a narrow bodice and moderately
short clinging skirt Fashion dicta-
tors describe it as tending to greater
GOODNESS in summer and as more hy-
gienic in principle than any of the
previous efforts.

the voltage variations impressed on

which would be impressed on a single
