Of it is made by Independent concerns

from the larger laboratories. One spool
of wire will make hundreds of tubes !;
the source Of that spool is most i'm
portant.
The amplificatiOn factor Of a tube
is measure Of the voltage simplifying
ability Of the tube and should, in an
amplifier. BE- high: the plate imped-
ance is the electrical impedance which
it places in the circuit in which il j.
used. and should be low: the mutual
conductance is the importance Of the
grid in controlling plate current. 1t is
also the ratio between the amplifica-
ton factor and the plate impedanee,
and should be as high as possible.
LOW IMPEDANCE NEED.
In general. there is no object in a
tube of high "mu" COMPLICATION con-
stantJ il the plate impedance increases
correspondingly. although for resist
ance and impedance implificrs there
is much TO be said for tubes with high
voltage application. For audio am
plifiers. it is highly important that
tubes OF low impedance be used from
the standpoint Of quality and power
amplication and in radio frequency
circuits. tubes If low impedance will
give greater gain and more stable op-
Grafton.
The future trend Of tube develop
ment seems to be toward lower i'm
pcdance tubes that may be used as
power ampiificrs with plenty Of grid
bias and high p battery voltage
Several independent tube manufactur-
ers have realized the need for semi
power tubes and it is probable that
the early winter will see high power
high quality amplifiers in more gen
eral use than has been possible up to
this time.
The heart OF the tube Is the fila
ment. and those manufacturers whose
filament wire is good can make good
tubes. Otherwise they can make only
mediocre products whose character
istics will be erratic and whose life
will be uncertain. Many tubes have
excellent characteristics when placed
on test. but after a few hours Of sery'
ice the supply of electrons has beer
exhausted and the tube is dead.

FILAMENT is VITAL.

All three indicators are bound up
in the mechanical construction and
placing Of the elements. and the eff
ficiency Of the filament. The construc-
ton and location of the elements are
really a manufacturing detail: the ef-
ficiency Of the filament is, then, the
vital factor upon which the value Of
the tube depends. Unfortunately. the
production Of filament wire. especially
modern exide coated or thoriated wire.
is not a simple task. II is said that
much Of the wire in present tubes is
stolen from the large manufacturers
who own the patents and processes for
making the wire.
Some Of the wire in tubes not made
BY those who control the manufacture
OF this filament wire is imported. Some

 It must not be forgotten that this disease is contagious, and can be carried by third person, who may not himself suffer from the disease. Before the days of modern surgery, tt was not uncommon for those who were treating cases of crysipelas to carry the infection on their fingers from one surgical cnse tn another in dressing wounds Such a procedure would bo disgrace at the present time.
 The direct cause of crysipelas is a very small vegetable germ as rounu as an onion which occurs in chains some short and some quite long.

be a separate and distinct affair, Of
fered at auction with those of the
Katrinas and Linas and Sophias of
High Prairie. Not a little apprehen-
siye, she was to pack this basket her
self. Maart1e, departing, had left CO.
pious but disjointed instructions.
Maartjes own basket was Of gigantic
proportions ard staggering content.
Her sandwiches were cubic blocks :.
her pickles clubs of cucumber; her
pies vast plateaus.
The basket provided for Selma
while not quite so large, still was of
appalling size as Selma contemplated
1t. She decided, suddenly, that she
would have none of 1t. In her trunk
she had a cardboard box such as shoes
come in. Certainly this should hold
enough lunch for two, she thought
She was a little nervous about the
whole thing; rather dreaded the pros
pect Of eating her supper with a High
Prairie swain unknown to her. Sup

She resolved TO I'LL 1t after her own
pattern, disregarding Maartje's heavy
provender.
She had the kitchen to herself.

The house was deliciously quiet.
Selma rummaged for the shoe box,
lined 1t with a sheet of tissue paper,
rolled up her sleeves, got out mixing
bowl, flour, pans. Cup cakes were
her ambition. She baked six of them.
They came out a beautiful brown but
somewhat leaden. Still, anything was
better than wedge Of soggy pie, she
told herself. She boiled eggs very
hard, halved them, devilled their yolks,
filled the whites neatly with this mix
ture and clapped the halves together
again, skewering them with a tooth
pick. Then she rolled each egg sep
arately in tissue paper twisted at the
ends. Daintiness, she had decided,
should be the keynote of her supper
box. The food neatly packed she
wrapped the box in paper and tied it
with a gay red ribbon yielded by her
