No. IL: Cutting Out Stations

A light in the garage the other
evening was evidence enough that
something was wrong with the radio.
1t was obvious Smith couldn't get
what he wanted over the air.
II want to hear those speeches as
much as anybody" Smith admitted
when stepped into the garage and
told him that he was missing a treat
"But how am / going to hear WHIT
while VEGAS is on the very same
wave length"
"That ought to be easy enough to
solve" | suggested. What do you
think you've got radio set fort"
Smith put the bottle of body polish
back on the shelf and switched off the
light. 1t was plain that he was going
to take me up on the proposition, so |
went ahead of him into the house and
switched on the battery charger before
he entered the living room.
"The real thing won't come on for
an hour or so,' explained. while
we're putting our heads together on
this proposition it might be good
idea to give the storage battery just
two more amperes. Every little bit
helps when you're cutting out sta
tions."
"That doesn't sound logical to me-"
Smith argued. "The louder | get
WHIT the more VEGAS will drown it
out"
Eyes, but if your batteries are low"
/ answered, "you may get VEGAS and
nothing else. | shout prefer to have
them both reasonably loud because
then we can try using the loop aerial
for directional effect and experiment
little with other things / have in
mind"
This gave him a new picture of the
thing and at once suggested the advis-
ability of pressing into use the spare
set of "B" batteries which he always
has on hand for getting distant or
difficult stations. The only reason he
hadn't made this move earlier was be-
cause he felt it would be useless, since
the station he didn't want would come
in just that much louder.
Smith displayed little radio skill
by not trying to hook up one good "B"
battery with one of the run down
ones. He just wired in the good set
and set aside the old. Reception is
noisy when old batteries are connected
with new, and that sort of ineffciency
isn't at all necessary. When Smith is
just listening in on local station he
can easily use up the old batteries by
substituting them for the good ones
for the time being.
The next step was to find out the po-
sition of the interfering stations and
their mileage from the Smith set.
This developed the fact that the sta
lions were directly opposite to each
other which meant that, assuming

steel-like determination.
"You wouldn't mention my name,
would you, Mrs. Fisher? | tell you
it's all horrible mistake. 1t wouldn't
be fair" | pleaded.
Don't talk to me of fairness. My
husband was true to mel WINGED
at the allegation,-''until you delib-
erately used your wiles upon him."
Zone moment, please it was Ellie,
who had evidently been sitting upon
the sun porch, leading from the room
in which we had been talking.
Il am Ellie Mitchell, Mrs. Fisher,
and there are some things you have
said to my friend here, that must be
retracted"
Indeed" She drew herself up in
an attitude of antagonism, land what
right have you to interfere, Miss
MITCHELL"
Gust this, that the things of which
you have accused Sallie have been abb
solutely without foundation. That you
do not know your husband; that Sallie
is as blameless for his fiirtations as
the strongest girl whom he passes"
"And how do you happen to know
so much about him. she demanded.

Sallie. 1t would be the same with any

that the loop aerial would pick them
| up, changing the direction in which
the loop pointed would not have alter
ed conditions.
This looked like the last straw, but
as matter Of fact it was just one of
the things that WAS to help. 1t led US
to the conclusion that we had better
switch in the big outside aerial and at
tempt to get both stations as clearly
as possible first, even if they con-
fiicted. Little by little, therefore, we
were reaching point where any cut
ting out of VEGAS would have to be a
matter Of tuning.
Maybe / ought to have one of those
wave traps" Smith said. Il under
stand they're pretty good for cutting
out the noise from spark transmitters
and the high-powered stations"
"Yes, but VEGAS isn't a local station
and if you trap its wave you will trap
WHIT as well" replied. "You ought
to have wave trap, to be sure, but it
isn't needed tonight. / think this job
is going to be headwork more than
anything else"
Smith became deeply absorbed in the
job as the time for the speeches drew
near and as | switched off the charger,
but he grew a little uneasy when |
tuned in on VEGAS so sharply that one
scarcely could hear WHIT's prelim-
mary program.
"We'll just hold VEGAS until this
selection is Finished" I explained.
"Then they'll announce, and while the
orchestra is getting ready for the next
number therell be quiet moment in
which W ecan tune sharply for WHIT"
To his surprise the plan succeeded
so we'll that when VEGAS came on
again the two stations had changed
places so far as clarity goes. While
both stations were supposed to be on
the some wave length there must have
been a slight variation. If set is Sc
lective enough the finest of variations
can be detected provided one of the
stations is not local.
1t didn't take Smith long to start
splitting the stations as he had prev
iously learned to do in situations like
this, but he added the feature of plug
cling in the earphones temporarily so
as to be able to detect the values of
the changes he made. Soon he had
WHIT so that he could hear what was
being said, and fading on the part of
VEGAS helped materially. In other
words, Smith was actually capitalizing
the shortcomings of radio transmits
sion for his own benefit.
That's headwork in radio reception!

Mr.. and Mrs. Jens Dietz of
Minneapolis, visited relatives in
Askov over Sunday.
A baby girl was born to Mr..
and Mrs. Hedge b. Kilstofte at
the Sandstone hospital last Thurs

Miss Elise Hansen of Racine,
Wis. came here Saturday for
visit at the home of her sister.
Mrs. N. S. Petersen.
Holger E. Petersen came down
from the northern part of the
state Saturday to spend a few
days with his family here.
Emil Christensen and the
Misses 0thelia and Theresa Paul
sen left today in the formers car
for few days visit at Tyler and
Lake Benton.
Quite a few women folks spent
social afternoon Monday at the
home of Mrs. Chris T. Christen-
sen; it was on the order of a
farewell party.
Adolph Linge left Tuesday
night for keewatin. on the Iron
Range, where he has secured
position as clerk with the Great
Northern Railway.
Mrs. Chris I. Christensen and
her three children left today for
Chicago to make their home
there with Mr.. c. who went to
the big city a few weeks ago and
expects to remain there perma-
nently. The Christensen family
have many friends here who re-
greet to see them leave but at the
same time wish them the best of
success in their new location.
Mrs. A. G. Danielson accompa-
MED Mrs. Christensen to assist
her with the children, and will
visit in Chicago a short time.
Mr.. and Mrs. A. Henriksen
left Tuesday morning via auto
mobile on a four weeks camping
trip through several central and
southern states where Mr.. Hen
riksen will call on his rutabaga
and potato customers as well as
try to find new customers. Miss
Ebba Nielsen who works at the
Henriksen home accompanied
them as far as Traer, Iowa, where
she will visit at the homes of
two uncles until the Henriksens
return. She will join them on
the last lap of the homeward
journey. During the late years
many other communities have
taken up the growing of ruta-
bagas and Askov dealers do not
find it so easy to dispose of this
root crop as formerly, there be-
ing much competition from Can
ada also. Mr.. Henriksen's prin-
cipal mission in the South is to
build up a better market for
bagas. Among the states they
will visit are Texas, Tennessee,
Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi
and Oklahoma, making trip of
between 5000 and 5000 miles.
