How to Connect the "A" Batteries to
Your Receiver. Part III.

Yesterday we discussed the parallel
connection of cells to obtain a battery
having the same voltage as the single
cells but with greater capacity. In
many cases a high-voltage source is
required for heating the filaments Of
the tubes. You cannot, for instance,
use single 1Ia volt dry cell, a 2-volt
storage cell or any parallel combina-
tions of such units to heat the fila
ments of tubes of the UV-199 or C299
tubes, which require a current source
of volts for filament heating. In such
cases it is possible to connect the cells
in different arrangement whereby the
total voltage of the battery will be
equal to the sum of the voltages OF
the individual cells. Three cells con-
nected so as to increase the voltage OF
the combination are shown in Fig. /.
This is called a series arrangement.

arrangement, the cells are connected
so that the negative terminal OF each
succeeding cell is connected with the
positive terminal Of the preceding cell.
Since each dry cell has voltage of
1h volts, the combination of three dry
cells connected in series will give a
voltage of Al volts. OF course, two
dry cells would give the required 8
volts for heating the filaments Of such
tubes as the UV-199 and C-299, but

At least 500 automobiles in Ma

The county is held responsible by
the state, however, for every car
listed for registration in the score

county collects or not II must pay
over to the state so per cent OF tho
fee, and this causes a heavy drain on
other funds.
The bill which has been drafted
by representatives of all the county
assessors and commissioners in Wyo-

Mullen of Cheyenne, now provides
that the present license fec be doubl-
ed and all other taxation on motor
vehicles be dispensed with. Mr..
