An addition 10 the New Britain General hospital will bs constructed within the next few months 10 house a new operating room as part of a number of other changes now going on in the institution,
 The hospital now has three operat- ing rooms which are kept busy and an additional room is needed, The new room will he on the north side of the old building facing Grand street and will adjoin the main op- .rsting room. II will be as large as the principal operating room no" in nge and will cover a floor space Of about 17x22 feet. The addition will be built, at cost of about $1o0o'
 The interior will he of hard finish white composition wall no" being adopted by new hospitals, in- stead of the marble or tile finish used in the main operating room. lt will have no balcony, The contract has not yet been awarded but 1t Is expected 10 start work this fall and by spring Dr. T. Ehen Reeks, sn- perintendent plars 10 have the ne" room in use
 Tn order to facilitate the work Of the surgeons the old male conyal- escent ward has been changed into $ dressing room for surgeons who intend to operate, This ward is part of section comprising the three present and proposed new op- erating room, the surgeons wash room and the anaesthetizing room end the steriizing room. IL is equipped with steel lockers enough 10 accommodate all the surgeons in the city.
 Traffic Problem
 One of the problems now trou- tiing the officials of the hospital is that of parking automobiles in front of the institution, In the forenoon when operations are scheduled and physicians visit their patients a num- Der of cars are parked along Grand street but in the afternoon and ear iy evening when visitors are per n1tted. Dr. Reeks stated this morn- ing that cars park on both sides of the street and congestion is so had that motorists often have difficulty getting through.
 Three time, Dr. Rocks states he personally has gone out and done traffic duty to help untanele 3 jam, and on other occasions other hospl- tai officials have done the same thing. II is likely that the police department will be requested 10 make Grand street one-way street If the congestion continues. A plan also has been suggested to hospital officials to make a parking space for physicians on hospital grounds. This suggestion is under considera- ton,

Amplifying Transformer
Very Important Factor

The simplifying transformer is the
microscope of radio.
The scientist looking through q
microscope gazes upon a fascinating
world of cell and germ life so tiny
as to be invisible to the naked eve.
The microscope magnifies them. Like
wise the simplifying transformer mag
mites or ampliffes faint sounds to
clear, distinct volume so that whole
roomful of people can hear them on
loud speaker.
But it is very important that the
simplifying transformer does not dis
tort the sounds at the same time it
increases their volume. A transformer
that distorts is like microscope that
blurs the vision. The simplifying trans.
former not only increases the volume
but must also give it exactly like the
original sound-pure IN tone and quail
ity, loud and clear in volume.
The simplifying transformer is
very important factor in good recep-
ton. 1t is through good transformers
that application without distortion,
can be secured. Without a good trans
former no set, whatever else it may
have or how elaborate the case con-
tanning it, can give satisfactory re-
sults.-New York World

Methods of Eliminating
Objectionable Noises

Many radio fans find they have dis
agreeable noises in their receivers
when using two steps of amplification.
This tends to distort the received sig
nails and is found to be especially true
when two transformers of high ratio
are employed.
There are three ways of reducing
the noises and still have excellent am
plification with good quality. The first
is by shunting the primary of the sec
ond step transformer with fixed con-
denser or resistance, the capacity or
resistance being governed by the ratio
of the transformer If two transform
ers having ratio of five to one are
used the correct capacity will be in the
neighborhood of col mid.
The second method is by shunting
the secondary of the second stage
transformer by a high resistance, the
correct value again being determined
by the rauo.
The third method of reducing the
noises Is the same as the second, only
a small condenser is used in place of
resistance. The latter method Is.

BY r. 3. WILDER.

One fact stands out clearly among
the things that we can predict for the
future of radio. Either the type of
receiving sets In use must radically
change or the fans must learn how TO
operate their sets in such manner so
as not to create interference with sur.
rounding receivers.
The squeals must go or the en-
Joyment and pleasure of listening to
distant stations will be taken from all
of us.
Most of the blame for this condition
has been foisted upon the owners of re-
generative receivers. If the truth were
known, the improperly neutralized
neutrodyne and poorly balanced super
heterodynes are causing more trouble
than regenerative sets. At the same
time, their owners are in the happy
frame of mind that their receivers can
not possibly be the cause Of any dis
turbance.
For the good of the whole future of
radio, 1t behooves each and every one
Of us to tune our sets with conSidera-
ton for others or else build sets that
cannot cause interference even If i'm
properly handled. A great many super
heterodyne receivers can be classed
among the worst offenders and the
worst squealers.
Interference is Obviated.
A new type of uper-neterodyne, as
devised by Laurence M. Cockaday,
positively will not radiate energy and
interference with other receiving SETS
In addition, the receiver effects the
saving of two tubes and will be capable
of bringing in stations with loud speak
er volume from distances up to 1,5OO
miles with loop aerial.
The first tube amplifies the current
at radio frequency and also performs
double duty by again simplifying the
current at audio frequency. This tube
stops the feeding of energy back into
the loop and makes the receiver nom
radiating.
The second tube acts as both de-
tector and heterodyne oscillator,
thereby dispensing with another tube.
The next three tubes are intermediate
frequency amplifiers that operate on
approximately 1900 meters. The next
tube is detector, the output of which
is reflexed back into the first tube
The stages of resistance coupled
audio frequency amplification are used
to increase the volume The use of
resistance application eliminates
considerable distortion and gives the
receiver a remarkable tone quality.
Two dials are used in tuning the
receiver, the settings of one closely
following the other. This makes for
simple tuning and positive logging of
stations. While at first glance this
may seem to be complicated receiver
by following wiring diagram anyone
who has had even limited experience

Color in the Household

Color has decided effect on the ap-
parent size of room. Light shades
give an effect of space; also a dis
tribution of colors will have this same
effect; for example, room with light
walls and dark rugs and hangings will
look larger than one done in dark
color. Also sense of space is Gre
ated by using the same color on the
walls of adjoining rooms.
