E. S. FLETCHER LEAVES
Boss Farmer at Ream Farm, Thomp.
 son, Over 2S Years

F. s. Fletcher has left Thompson to make his home in Manchester, N. H. The New Hampshire city is his old home and he intends to build a bungalow and occupy it. He and Mrs. Fletcher are looking forward to oc- cupying their own home having liv- ed in ! large nine-room house on the Thompson estate for the past eigh- teen years Mir Fletcher has been in charge of the Ream farm for 2i and l-2 years, all told, the last ser vice being ei ghteen consecutive years
 Mir Fletcher was at the Ream place in 1898 when the house was built and had charge of it's ~action. He re- mained there for six and one-half years and then was engaged by the late Thomas w Lawson. who had P magnificent estate, Egypt, Seituate, Mass. He also had charge of an estate in Birmingham.
 Eighteen years ago the late Nor man B. Ream sent for Mir. Fletcher and wanted him to come back to Thompson. He agreed to come for one year. When the year was up Mir. Fletcher went Go Mir. Ream and told him that the time had expired. Mr. Ream. however. insisted upon his re- maining and he stayed on until the death of Mir Ream and continued on after his employers death and now leaves only because the farm has been sold He has completed con- tinuous service of eighteen years since he returned to Thompson.
 Mir. Fletcher is well known and highly respected in Thompson and the citizens of that town. especially on Thomson Hill. are sorry tO see him depart. He is also we'll known in Putnam where he has many friends.
 Mr. and Mrs. Fletcher have been active in the affairs of Thompson HiH and they will he missed from the church and social life of the village.

The committee on intellectual CO.
operation developed it's system of
national committees, serving as in
termediaries between the intcrna-

finally discussed at an international
conference convened for May 4.
In the political field several dis
putes were submitted to the council
for mediation, as provided by the
covenant. The status of the Meme
territory, long in dispute between the
principal allied powers and Lithuan
ia, and the Jaworzy7la boundary dis.
pute between Czechoslovakia and Pc
land were both settled in March.
The question of the frontier about
Mosul, between Irak and Turkey
came before the council, which sent
special commission Of three mem.
bers to investigate on the spot. AS
frontier incidents had taken place
the council laid down a provisional
boundary between the territories &C.
cupied or administered by the Brit
ish and Turkish governments.
The question Of the Greeks of Con-
stantinople also was brought before
the council in virtue of the Treaty
of Lausanne. The permanent court
Of international justice has been re-
quested to give an advisory opinion
on this question.
Finally, the council interviewed with
a view to obtaining a prompt set

with the Mayromatis affair, with the
Greek and British governments as
parties before the court; dispute
between Greece and Bulgaria, and
the question Of St. Naoum, involving,
the frontier between Serbia and Bull

A series of questions relating ~
the protection of minorities was
dealt with by the League during the

with the Polish government, the
council succeeded in settling the
question of the German settlers in
Poland.
AS a result of the coming into
force of the treaty of Lausanne and
of the treaty of Sevres concerning
the protection of minorities, the
provisions contained in these treaties
with regard to the protection Of min

Geneva, March lS.-The problem of
preventing war by carefully or
ganized system of arbitration, Of re-
duction Of ornaments, and Of mutual
OF assistance against Il covenant break
CT ing nation, ranks foremost among
II the questions before the League of
ai Nations in 1924, says an official COM
!, munique issued here which presents
b. 4 detailed review Of events which
m came last year before the Geneva
re peace organization. But while bring
ia ing its main efforts to bear on this
II peace problem, the summary goes on
to say, the League settled certain
Ir number of political questions, pursu-
81 cd its administrative work, and by
ca the agency of its technical organiza-
tt lions, promoted international CO.
tf operation in the most varied fields.
!. A summary of the review follows:
W The Leagues work during the past
pl year in connection with the proven
u ton of war may be said to begin
VI with the draft treaty Of mutual as
m sistance prepared by the fourth as
M sembly, and to eliminate in the pro-
:. tocol for the pacific settlement of
N international disputes, drawn up by
~ the fifth assembly. The draft treaty
De of mutual assistance, was debated in
al September, and subsequently the as
co sembiy adopted joint resolution
. Ito strengthen the solidarity and Sc
curity of the nations of the world
NJ by settling by pacific means all dis
putes which might arise between
states" On the basis of this resolu-
ton the assembly drew Up the pro-
tocol for the pacific settlement of
International disputes, which con-
Z tanned system of arbitration from
- !, which no international dispute,
g whether legal or political, should
fsescape. 1t provided for military,
and economic cooperation,
< which, by guaranteeing the security
scf states, would render possible a
con siderable reduction Of national
S4rmaments. Thus the three factors
WSof the problem, namely, arbitration,
Insecurity and reduction of ornaments

~ With regard to the investigation
u at Austrian, Bulgarian, German and
ngffungarian ornaments, the council
nn1rew up a scheme for the exercise, if

Finally, the membership of the
League was increased to IS states by
the entry of the Dominican Republic.
During the year, also, the German

of conferences and commissions,
while the Soviet Republic was re-
presented on the health committee

What You Should Know About
Vacuum Tubes-Part iii.

For PURPOSES of comparison later in
this series, ], am going to list In this
article the specifications and char
acteristics of the standard tubes
which l am discussing.
The first in the series is the wv
200 and c 800. These two tubes are
identical in characteristics. the diff
ferent code numbers being merely the
code. numbers of the two organiZa-
tions, the Radio Corporation of
America and E. T. Cunningham, Inc,
which market them.
This tube is a gas content tube hav-
ing the highest efficiency as detector
under critical adjustment of filament
and plate voltage. Maximum eff1-
cheney as a detector can only be OBJ
tanned when a vernier rheostat and
potentiometer control OF plate voltage
is used. Best adjustment of filament
current Is obtained with a yernier
rheostat having maximum resist
ance of ohms, although a S-ohm
rheostat can be used The negative
terminal of the B battery should be
connected with the movable arm of a
poentiometer of 200 to 400 ohms' re-
sistance. The terminals of the re-
sistance element of the potentiometer
should be connected across the
battery. The connection is illustrated
in the diagram below.
This same connection holds true
whether the tube is used as simple
one-tube non-regenerative detector, a
regenerative detector or as the detec-
tor of a circuit using one or more
stages of radio frequency before 1t.
Change OF Audibility.
The value of using q potentiometer
adjustment for this tube can be real
ICED by plotting curves OF the relative
audibility under different conditions
of plate voltage. Such curves will
show that while a relative audibilit"'
of 20 Is obtained at 20h volts the au-
dibility drops sharply to a value of 40
when the voltage is changed to 18
volts. The same thing occurs when
the voltage is raised to 22 volts. The
change of a half a volt is sufficient to
cause a considerable change in au-
dibility.
The output innpedance of the wv
200 and c 800 tubes with a plate po-
tential of 90 volts is 10000 ohms.
The rated filament voltage is 5
volts.
Six.Volt Battery Used.
To get this required voltage it is
necessary to use a 6-volt storage bat
terry with a rheostat having a resist.
ance of about 2 10 4 ohms. A stand
ard 6-ohm rheostat can be used. The
tube should be controlled by an inde-
pendent rheostat for best results

of grid condenser capacity and grid
leak resistance are not critical. 1t is
general practice to use a grid con-
denser of .O0025 mid. capacity and a
grid leak of from 2 to megohms' re-
sistance. The lower value of grid leak
resistance gives best results on local
stations while the higher resistance
gives better results on distance re-
ception.
The overall dimensions of the tube
are: Diameter, Ia inches; length,
SIS inches.
The base Is a standard type known
as the Navy type base, with grid and
plate prongs adjacent to each other.
Tomorrow l will discuss the char
acteristics of the wv 201, WD IL,
