Recti6er Is Explained
in Government Pamphlet

In an effort to explain the effici-
ency and value of rectifiers used to
charge radio storage batteries, the
bureau of standards has issued tech
biological paper No. 265 entitled
Theory and Performance of Recti-
fiers." 1t is available to all fans from
the superintendent of documents,
Washington, for 20 cents.
The demand for small rectifiers has
increased greatly during recent years,
owing to the large number of small
storage batteries employed in connec-
ton with radio sets, and because of
the growing practice of charging
larger batteries at low rates, this prac-
tice being known as 'trickle charging"
The purpose of the bureaus inves-
tieation was to obtain data on the
performance of the most common
types of rectifiers on the market, and
TO explain the principles underlying
their operation.
Because of the adaptability OF the
electrolytic rectifier to the study of
the underlying principles Of rectifca-

Weak Signals and What
Is Cause of Trouble

If the signals which are customarIly
loud from station are suddenly found
to be quite weak, the difficulty may be
caused b. one or more of the follow
ing:
The plate battery may be exhausted.
The phone jack may not be making
good contact.
The head phones may have become
demagnetiZed.
The filament battery may have be-
come discharged.
The transmitting station may have
reduced its power.
The antenna may have become dis
connected or the ground connections
may have become ineffective, due to
existence of insulating paint or gas
kets used in making pipe connections.
The crystal detector of the receiving
set may have become dirty. In the
latter case the metal point which
touches the crystal may be filed and
the surface of the crystal washed
with soap and water.

Before taking coil off the pegs
drop molten sealing wax over the in
tersections and let stand until the wax
hardens. Or, tie the coils at the in
tersection with stout thread.
For SeIectivity.
Coils Ii and LIZ are mounted on the
Dashboard parallel to each other. and
four inches apart. The bottom of each
coil is set within two fiber strips,
which are held together by screw.
The screw also holds the coil and
strips to the Dashboard.
Coil L3 is the ticker and is con-
trolled by q shaft arrangement. The
shaft and knob should be set very low
on the panel, so that the coil L3 may
be tied firmly to it so as to give 1t free
dom of vibration with coil Ii. 1t
should be about an inch from L3.
To keep the shaft from moving in
and out, have hole bored through II
at the inside of the panel and put
pin through it. This and the dial will
hold the shaft in place. The bushing
for the shaft, In the panel, may be the
kind used for jacks, and the shaft of
a diameter TO fit 1t closely.
Test Connections.
Both tubes for this set should be of
the 2O1-A type. The B battery should
have a voltage of 90 volts and the c
battery Az volts.
In trying out the set, change the
leads on the ticker, L3, to see which
side gives best results. Also reverse
leads to the G battery for a similar
test.
Above ALL be sure that you have the
shortest possible leads to all connec-
tons. Also that the coils Ii and L2
are four inches apart. This makes for
very sharp tuning.-Chicago Evening

ton, and also because this type pos
sesses many possibilities for useful
ness, considerable portion of the
work was carried out on this type, but
magnetic, and ionized-gas-bulb recti-
fiers were also studied.
The effects of various factors upon

batteries, but that its life Is short.
The tantalum rectifier, which is ca
pable of carrying higher currents. is
more resistant to the action of the
electrolyte, and therefore has a longer
life.
The degree of rectification to be ex-
pected under different conditions of
line and battery voltage, effect of
temperature. and character of circuit
are discussed.

Parker settlement away back In 1885.
captive whose story rivals that Of
the famous Frances Slocum, the Lost
Sister of Wyoming" of Revolutionary
days.
She was restored to her people, but
lived only four years. When she died
she was still grieving for her little
half-breed son, Quanah, who had es-
capped when Ross's rangers swept down
upon Peta Nocona's camp. Ross later
became a general in the Confederate
army and governor of Texas. That
little half-breed boy succeeded his
father as war chief of the Comanches,
led them and their allies in the IA
nous attack on the buffalo hunters at
Adobe Walls, and was the last to sur
render to the United States troops in
the war with the southern tribes In
1S74-75. Later he was Quanah Parker,
the friend of the white man, Roose-
velt's hunting companion on a wolf
hunt In Oklahoma, and until his death
in 1911, one of the most famous Of the
living Indian chiefs.
Even more famous than "Sul' Ross
was a ranger captain of a later day
Bill Mcdonald, a man of the same type
as "Big Foot" Wallace. 1t was once
said that Captain Bill Mcdonald
would charge hell with bucket Of
water" and more than once he proved
that this statement was not so far
fetched after all. Mcdonald fought bad
white men instead of bad red men, and
the reclamation of a vast territory in
Texas and Oklahoma and the opening
of this land to settlement is due large
ly to him. Single-handed he undertook
task which federal, state and terri
torial officers of the law declared i'm
possible and, facing death hundred
times at the hands of men whose only
motto was "Shoot Bill Mcdonald on
sight" he accomplished it. He re-
deemed No Mans Land in Indian ter
ritory, tanned the Texas Panhandle
and reformed the notorious Cherokee
strip.
Captain Bill died in 1918. Although
he was the last of the picturesque old
time rangers, the breed of these first
class fightin' men" has not died out.
1t survives in such men as Capt. John
r. Hughes and Capt. ]. ]. Saunders
and many another who have ridden the
wide stretches of the Lone Star state,
and patrolled the Rio Grande in recent
years. The job of the modern Texas
Ranger has been far different from
that of his predecessors. He has bat
| tied Mexican bandits, smugglers, rus
tiers, highway robbers, murderers and
desperadoes of every kind. Modern
conditions have changed his methods
of operation somewhat, but the Texas
Ranger himself is pretty much the
same man as he ever was with the
same cool courage. the same pure grit
and the same 100-per-cent-efficie
in handling any job he tackles.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1925-05-08

the rangers into any county. The
story of the Texas Rangers is that
of body of men with tradition.
So strong has been the tradition of abb
solute efficiency that has grown up
around this splendid fighting force,
that one Texas Ranger is looked upon
as more capable Of handling rfcklish
situation than any twenty ordinary
men.
They tell the story Of the mayor OF
a Texas town who found riot ON
his hands and who kept the wires to
the state capital hot, asking for
company Of rangers. Then he ar
ranged for half dozen conveyances
to meet the train and rush the officers
to the scene of the trouble. From the
last car descended single ranger, cas-
ually rolling a cigarette.
I'm done for!" groaned His Honor
81 asked for a whole company and
they've sent me just one ranger"
"Well," drawled that nonchalant per-
son. There's only one riot, isn't
thereT
The full history of the Texas Ran
gers would fill volumes. 1t would in
clade the stories of such old-time he
roes as James and Resin Bowie (of
Bowie knife fame), Jack Hays, Kit
Ackland, Tom Green. Mustang Gray
and ''Big Foot" Wallace. Wallace re-
ceived his nickname from his feud
with Big Foot, a celebrated Comanche
Indian chief, whom he had sworn TO
kill. He trailed the Indian many
times, but never succeeded In keeping
his vow. The honor of ending Big
Foot's raids went to another ranger
captain, Shapeley B. Ross, who killed
the Indian in an epic hand-tohand
combat.
A dauntless persOn-this Wallace.
One day while out alone he rode TO the
top of hill and ran slam-bang into
band of sixty Indians. His horse
was wornout and he knew that flight
was useless. The red men spotted him
Immediately and raised the war cry.
Wallace dug his spurs into his horse
and charged the Indians. Waving his
arm as though signalling to force
behind the hill, he shouted "Come on,
boys, we've got 'em now" And the
Indians broke and fled.
Another renowned ranger leader was
Lawrence Sullivan Ross-"Sul' Ross,
they called him. He was son of
Shapeley B. Ross and worthy son of
his sire. While a student at an east
-ern university he was accustomed to
spend his summer vacations at home
fighting Indians. When he was grad
uated in 1860 and came home, he
found that the Comanches were on
the warpath again. So he obtained
permission from Gov. Sam Houston to
raise company of rangers, and took
the trail Of band of raiders led by
Chief Peta Nocona ("The Wanderer")
the greatest war leader of the Co
manches since the death Of Big Foot.
And thereby hangs one of the most
romantic tales connected with the
rangers.
For, when Ross and his company
of sixty men, had surprised Peta No
cona's camp and put the savages to
fiight-Ross himself killing the chief in
hand-to-hand encounter reminiscent
of his fathers duel with Big Foot
they discovered that one Of their cap
| tives was a wife Of the chief-a wom-
an with blue eyes! Eventually 1t de-
veloped that she was Cynthia Ann
Parker who had been carried away
when the Comanches wiped out the
