1t Is possible to make all the neces.
sary A. b and C battery connections
with q five-wire cable.
In practically all sets. the negative
B battery terminal is connected with
one Of the A battery terminals inside
the receiver. Why then use two wires,
one from an A battery and one from
the b battery to the set, when it will
do just as well to connect the batteries
together before bringing the connec-
tion up to the set.
The diagram shows how five wires
can make all the necessary connec-
tions from batteries to the set
In this particular set the negative
"a" and the positive "C' are com.
mon. The negative "B" and positive
"a" are also common connections and
one wire is all that is necessary from
each combination to the receiver.

making connections to get his A and
batteries connected properly, there
IS no reason why he should have trou-
BILE with the connections for the C
battery.
Slight Drain on C Battery.
While there is very little drain on
the C. battery as far as supplying
current for the operation OF the re-
ceiver Is concerned. the c battery in
common with other dry batteries can
only be used for the length of the
shelf life" or the time that a dry
battery will remain useful even when
1t is not used.
1t is therefore necessary to replace
G battery when the voltage of a
4havOlt unit drops below 4 volts. This
replacement is possible only when the
battery Is placed outside the receiver
proper because the trouble of replace
ment of a G battery which is fastened
in as part Of the receiver is usually
too much to bother with and the re.
suit is that n G battery which is part
OF the receiver is seldom replaced.
One Of the reasons why c batteries
are placed inside of the set is because
the standard battery cords or con.
nectorS consist Of q cable with five
wires. just enough for the two A
battery connections and three 3 bat.
terry connections.
\ little thought and study of your
own circuit, however, will show that

may vary. but the general scheme is
the same. All that is necessary is to
consult your circuit or look at the
wiring OF the receiver and determine
whether the positive "C'' is connected
with the positive "a" or the negative
IA" In the same way determine
whether the negative "B" is connect
ed with the negative "a" or posi-
tive "A" Then instead of having
the connection made at the receiver
as is done when separate wires are
run to the receiver from each terni-
nal, have the connection made at the
batteries.

Regulation OF the motor bus in

resentatives adopted favorable re-
ports OH two bills, one placing the
busses under the public service COM

The majority report for passage Of
the Moorhead bill was adopted af-
ter the minority report for indefl-
mite postponement had been reject
ed. This measure has passed the
Senate and places the busses under
the public service commission.
Representative Hull's bill for high
way commission control was brought
to the floor when the minority re-
port favoring passage was substi-
tuted for the majority report for in
definite postponement.
Friends Of the Moorhead measure
claim they have sufficient strength

the Moorhead bill will be defeated
and the Hull bill will be caught in
