JUST FISH STORIES
9agGsGes GGs:sseeEGeGGGea p


Sundays reception of the fish
hound was anything but lovely"
Starting in with a beautiful sun
rise, every man and woman trout
artist packed their lunch and kit
bag and hit for the tall and uncut.
Some wore BVD's and dressed
light; while the more knowing
kind put all they had on their back
expecting a blowout" before the
day ended. Bulleive me and it was
worse than a blowout; snow fell
thick'rn geese feathers out of
busted bedtick, and it was that
wet clammy sticky kind; flakes big
enough that when they hit your
pipe, one sizz and the fire was out.
Honest, fellows, it really happened
and for all that it was one of the
best trout days for years back.
Just read of what happened.
Dick Morency, the versatile ar
fist Of Three Lakes who scrapes
EN- off your face and hobbs the
fappers-and never misses a slip
in the conversation line, especially
if some fellow mentions trout"
That is enough for of all the rabid,
realistic trout thugs, Dick sure
grabs the lilies. But mitt him Bo;
mitt him. He landed the finest and
cleanest-cut creel of speckled beau
ties of any so far-and he wasn't
hog either dick by the way is a
Waltonian). His sixteen trout
weighed twenty pounds, and one
was 1874 inches in length. Some
catch and we congratulate him
publicly.
Almost a match for the Morency
catch was that of Larry Kuehne
and Jimmy Burns last Sunday.
Kuehne's catch of eighteen trout
went twenty pounds; Jimmy's
catch not quite SO good but better
than the other fellows who fol
lowed along behind. Where did
they catch them? That is none of
your nor my business. Never ask
trout man where did you catch
EN-"
Now Billy Hunter is a mighty
good road commissioner, but most
of the fellows imagined Billy did
MT know the east end of a speckled
trout from the northwest side of
fivver. But does he know? His
catch Sunday shows that he and
Paul Bunyan were pals in the early
days when things were big things.
One speckled beauty went pa
pounds and the other one and one
third pounds. Hats off to Mr.. Hun
ter.
Art Morgan, Hank Hanson and
Fred Wolfer also were in the run
ming; their creels showed full
when they arrived from the fishing
grounds Sunday night. Not baby
snatchers either; real man-sized
trout. Thanks for that, fellows.
Schuyler Primley, thought to be
of unknown quantity the same as
Morency Of Three Lakes, comes
along and shoots forward the hon
ors of Conover with two beauties
taken Sunday. Being the Lords
day, these old birds were unable to
travel to church and were there
fore caught for their misdeeds.
Mr.. German Brown weighed a
pound and eleven ounces; Mr..
Brook just one ounce less than his
Heinie chum. Some fellows always
have the luck. Primley is sure some
bait shooter. Two prize winners
and he deserves them.

FADING PROBLEM
SOLUTION IS NEAR
General Electric Expert Finds
What He Believes
Is Cause.

Although static may guard it's Sc
crets from science for another two
or three radio seasons, fading, which
is, next to static, the most disagree
able feature of broadcast reception,
is apparently on the verge of being
solved.
Through pure accident, Dr. E. F.
w. AleXanderson, consulting engineer
of the General Electric Co. has
stumbled on what he firmly believes
is the cause of fading signals. 1t is
even possible, DIR. Alexanderson re-
Gently told the writer. that the
horizontal waves, which he now holds
as equally important as the vertical
waves, may reveal the causes of many
of the worlds notorious dead spots.
At any rate. the horizontal wave
is sure to be the most discussed fea
ture of radio this Fall and Winter
and the plaything OF many engineers
beside DIR. Alexanderson.
The disCoverer of the horizontal
wave is now mapping out program
for his Fall experiments and is plan
ming TO issue an appeal to the radio
amateurs throughout the country TO
assist him in collecting data on the
reception of signals transmitted from
horizontal antennas.
The amateur is OF invaluable as
sistance to the science of radio, ac-
cording to DR.. Alexanderson. and
through his help he hopes to confirm
his theories OF horizontal waves and
thereby proceed to the task OF COM
bining the two waves TO eliminate fads
ing and produce an unvarying volume
of all signals on both short and long
waves.
The workshop to he used in the
Alexanderson experiments is situated
II, CT, Sr1l frii hn
main grounds of the General Electric
Co, at Schenectady. and beside the
bed of the old Erie Canal.
Short Waves TO Be Used.
The antenna to be used for the
first tests is a polygon of connected
short cage antennas strung in a hori-
zontal plane. Short waves are to be
used at the outset and only a mod
crate amount of power.
One of the first problems that is to
be worked out is the periodic nature
of the horizontal wave Already Dr.
AIexa nderson has found that the
horizontal waves travel through a
corkscrew route and are inaudible at
certain proportionate distances from
the point of transmission.
Through reports from amateurs
who tune in the signals and the dis
tances at which the signals are heard
he hopes to chart the route of the
horizontal waves and determine what
can be expected of them under all
conditions.
Later he will use the horizontal
antenna on higher wave lengths and
with increased power, finally endeav-
oring TO combine the horizontal and
vertical antennas in such manner
that polyphase waves can be trans
mitted which will not fade.
An official notice of the hours and
dates of the tests and the wave
lengths to be used will be made within
a short time by DR.. Alexanderson.

ing.
The cost Of recharging a 10O-ampere
hour, 6-volt storage battery does NOT
exceed 10 cents. and it will operate
set using five UV201A or C-3Ol A tubes
for approximately so hours, giving an
expense OF upkeep of about an eighth
of cent per hour.
AS source of plate current the
storage 'B" battery is very efficient
This type Of Battery also gives very
good results from an electrical stand
point, and the cost of maintenance. as
far as keeping it charged is con.
cerned, will not amount to more than
two-tenths of cent per hour for a
96-volt unit.
The total cost of operating a set of
f1ve tubes with storage batteries will
cost slightly more than three-tenths of
a cent per hour.
If dry "B" batteries of the large
size, which weight about pounds
for every 22l2 volts, are used, a block
of 80 volts may be expected to give
about go hours of service with a Ave
tube set that has a current drain of
about Is milliamperes.
A 90-volt unit Of that type can now
| be obtained for about $5, so that the
cost per hour of such a source OF
current amounts to slightly over two
cents per hour.
If a storage "A" battery with battery
charger and dry "B" batteries are
used therefore, the cost of operation
will be about PA cents per hour as
against less than half cent per hour
when storage batteries are used for
both "A" and "B" batteries.
First Cost Expensive.
AS against this cost of operation.
however, you must-remember that the
,, first cost of the storage B batteries is
considerably higher. A 90-volt stor-
age B battery unit will cost between
$40 and $50.

so that the cost Of maintenance for

less, the first cost of such devices
amounts to about sac to $50.
To sum up the whole subject, the
storage A battery with charger forms
the best method of supplying or
filament current for the set 1t is
very economical, highly efficient and
very convenient. The first cost is
rather high when the price of battery
and charger is considered, but the
much lower cost of upkeep makes it
the best type to use.
In the division of B batteries, the
storage B battery Is also the most
efficient from the standpoint of
economy and efficiency. The B bat
terry eliminator or current tap devices
stand about on the same level with
the storage B battery In matter of
first cost and cost OF upkeep. They

MOVIE THAT TALKS
IS SUCCESS IN TEST
Single e-Wave Length Carries
Both Pictures and Words in
Jenkins Experiment.

C. Francis Jenkins. Washington in
ventor of radio vision and radio
movies, succeeded in receiving a NOV
ing picture and a verbal description OF
the picture over the same receiving
set at the same time in tests just com
pleted at his laboratory here.
While Mr.. Jenkins performed move
ments in front Of the picture trans
mitting apparatus he described his
movements in detail. His audience in
another room could hear his descrip-
ton of what he was doing while at
the same time they watched picture
of them on a small screen.
The pictures and words were trans
mitted on the same wave length. They
were separated on the receiving end,
different electrical capacities being
used in conducting the words to the
loud speaker and the pictures to the
picture cabinet.
After the experiments Mr.. Jenkins.
highly elated at the success of his
tests talked freely of his hopes for
the future. He referred TO the rapid
progress being made by the engineers
in his laboratory and optimistically
predicted that it would be a compara-
lively short time before the machine
will be perfected and standardized for
home use.
Nltnln heacn OF All.
Prof. Jenkins quoted a well known
radio manufacturer TO the effect that
within 10 years radio fans would sit
in their own homes to watch a base
ball game projected before them. This
statement, the inventor added, was
too conservative. IF l thought il
would be that long" he said, Il would
be bitterly disappointed"
But, even after you have refined
and perfected the apparatus, won't
you have to make it much cheaper
before it will be used generally" he
was asked.
mo, that's where you are wrong"
was his emphatic answer. The appa-
ratus is designed TO be used as an at
tachment to a standard receiving set
such as the public is using today. 1t
will be operated in the same way as a
loud speaker attachment, and will be
very cheap.
"All through our tSts we have been
using standard receiving sets in pref
erence to specially designed sets, so
that when our apparatus is completed
it will merely be an attachment TO
standard sets and will not require
complete new equipment. If we had
used specially designed receiving sets.
we would be much further along than
we are"

but 1t is comparatively very low In
the matter Of first cost and 1t Is very
convenient to use.
If you are interested in keeping the
first cost Of your installation down to
the minimum. you will select dry
batteries throughout
If you can go a little higher on
your first cost you will select
storage A battery with charger and
dry B batteries.
If you can go higher on the first
cost you should select a storage bat
terry for an A battery and storage B
battery or B battery eliminator.

RHEOSTAT SIZE CUT.
Reduced Dimensions Chief Change
in New Models.

Principal changes being made in
rheostats for the coming radio season
are a decrease in size, elimination of
excess materials, and general refine
ments that will produce a neater and
smoother operating instrument.
Most manufacturers are reducing
the overall size from that of last year.
This saves material and permits a
saving of valuable space on the panel
of the receiver. Single hole mount
ing is becoming the rule and with it
the need, for a large base to accomo-
date mounting screws is no longer re-
duired.

Choosing Your Current Source.
Part III.

In selecting the best type of current
source TO use for your receiver you
must consider the electrical efficiency
Of the current source or its ability to
give you good results over a long
period of time: the first cost of the
unit or the amount Of money that is
required before you can hope to get
any results from your set, and the
operating expense of using a particu-
lar type of current source as against
the expense Of using some other cur
!ent source.
From the standpoint of electrical eff
ticiency the storage battery is hard to
beat. 1t will give a very uniform cur
rent for a considerable length Of time,

ity is down to the minimum it can be

In Confidence
When a Widower Is In Doubt

Dea rMiss Flo: am lonely Wi
dower-in search of a wife-not on
| ly because | crave companionship,
but also because l have two small
children, and they need mothers
care. Don't you think should marry
again for their sake? What kind of
woman would make the best wife
the young girl, widow, or an old
maid? 1t seem slike lot of nerve
for a widower with children to ask
woman to marry him, but ! have
comfortable income, and feel sure
that l could make a woman happy.
DoDn.
Well, DoDn, l certainly agree with
you that it would require consider
able nerve to ask woman to marry
you merely because you think it is
you rduty to provide your children
with mother. If you marry a wo-
man only because you think she
would make good mother, you can
not expect much happiness. On the
other hand, it would be very foolish
to marry a woman, regardless of
how much you care for her, if you
thin kher incapable of mothering
your children.
The only solution is to find a wo-
man whom you can love, and wo-
man who will make a good mother.
That shouldn't be very difficult, be-
cause the majority of women are
good mothers instinctively. This fact
is proved in no better way than by
tn enumber of women, who, because
they are denied children of their own,
adopt them to satisfy the cravings of
their maternal heart. Why, then
should not women with this sa mein-
stinct welcome an opportunity of
lavishing their affection on the little
ones of the man they love. Certainly,
motherhood is the superior job, and
most women, if they loved man,
would jump as the chance of mother
ing his children.
AS to the kind of a woman you
should marry, would advise that
you choose a woman near your own
age. TIL eyoung girl is not fitted to
