The other materials include CA. .001

fixed; RI, two or three megohm grid
leak.
Now for the wiring Of the set. Con-
meet the post marked A in diagram
and on coll TO the antenna and the
post marked CIR to the ground. The
F plus &c in diagram) goes to the pos
Tive post of the socket and to the
plus post of the A battery. which Is
connected to B minus. The terminal
marked G on coil goes to one side of
the grid condenser and to the grid
leak. The other end Of the grid con-
denser goes to the grid post of the
socket. The terminal marked p Tin
diagram E) goes to the plate post of
the socket. The last terminal marked
B plus Tin diagram F. goes to one
end of the .001 condenser, whose other
end goes to the B plus. Across the
terminals Of both the plate and the
grid coils connect two !0005 variable
cOndensers, making sure that the ro-
tor plates Of the grid condenser go to
the A plus and the rotor plates of the
condenser which is shunted across the
plate coil to the B plus side of the
plate coil. All this wiring should be
done with No. Is bell wire or rubber
covered telephone wire. Avoid bus
bar. That completes the wiring OF
the set.
Aerial Advice.
Your antenna should be at least
IS feet in length, we'll soldered, and
your lead-in should be put about one
foot away from the wall. well insulat-
ed. Your ground should be as short
as possible and should consist of No.
ID undiscovered wire. The antenna
wire should be No. IA hard-drawn cop
per. wire The aerial should be at
least 20 feet above the level Of the
ground and at least 10 feet above
the level of the roof. But If you have
a tin roof, place the antenna as high
as 25 feet, which must be done in or
der to get away from the good ground
ing qualities of the tin.
Trouble Hints.
If you are getting noisy reception
first push up the prongs Of your tube
socket, clean the terminals at the end
of the tube with sandpaper and test
your B battery with a pair of
phones. If, when you put the phones
across the battery, you hear lot of
rushing noise you can be sure that
the battery is no good. Test your by
pass condenser, which is the condenser
having a capacity of .OO1 mfd., as this
is often shorted.

is of the proper capacity for the part
of the circuit for which it Is intended.
Unless radio-frequency amplifier
is built correctly the signal delivered
from the detector will be less in vol
ume than If a detector alone were
used
A high resistance connected across
the aerial and ground terminals of a
radio receiver will sometimes reduce
the intensity of static. 1t will also
tend to reduce the strength of signals.
but usually the static decreases in
greater ratio.
Removing and replacing tubes grad
ually weakens the tension of the
socket prongs against the tube legs
By bending the prongs upward with a
screw driver you will prevent current
losses that cut down the range of your
receiver.
Distortion present on distant sta
tions. is not uncommonly caused by
interfering signals, and not by any
fault in the receiving set. The other
waves may not have enough force to
produce an audible signal, but quite
enough to chop up the sounds from
the station to which the receiver Is
tuned.

Variable Resistances
to Take Up Little Room

No two sets operate on the same
value of resistance when using the re-
sistance- coupled type of audio-fre-
quency application. The resistance
should be adapted to the character
istics of the tubes used, the aging of
the tubes, and the changing voltage of
the B battery.
Variable resistance may be made so
as to occupy very little room. Nearly
all commercially made variable resist
ances are so made that 1t is awkward
to mount them. The diagram indicates
a room-saving method. Use base Of
hard rubber or bakelite 2 by IN by 3-16

$51 100000 Dam At Muscle

Florence, Ala.-Seven years after
work was begun on the gigantic Will
son dam, the waters Of the Tennessee
river were turned through the first
of the giant turbines that are to sup
ply power for a new industrial en-
pire of the south.
The huge generator, performing
smoothly, will be run for 10 days be-
fore it is harnessed to load and its
10000 horsepower strength is put to
work. Three other turbines have been
installed and the power house has ac-
commodation for 10 others, SO that
eventually the Wilson dam will be the
means of generating more than $780,
600 horsepower Described by United
States engineers as one Of the greatest
engineering feats on record, the dam
rises from the river bed to height
of 122 feet with length of 5000 feet.

By PERCY WARREN, In Radio World.
We all know that a set which Is

very well and Is recommended by all
experts, but suppose that we haven't
the money to purchase the best new

we mustn't use materials efficient

good results What / mean Is that
We can build our own coil at a very
small cost and still obtain efficiency.

volume there is not one that excels
the simple regeneratiye type.
The set that / am going to describe
Is Of the three-circuit variety and is u
world beaten for volume and distance,

Construction of the Coil.
The first thing that you want to do
before you build this set is to read
every piece of data that refers to the
successful operation of the receiver.
You have probably read the informa-
ton already. After doing this we are
all set to build the coil. which is very
simple, but with which great deal of
care should be taken.
Procure form about four inches in
length, three inches in diameter. We
will wind the grid coil first, starting
about one-fourth Of an inch from one
end Of the form. Before doing this.
better drill two holes about three-six-
teenths of an inch In diameter and
about one-half of an inch away from
each other for anchorage. Put binding
posts here and mark one G and one
plus Now drill two holes exactly
as the ones drilled on the other end

"Babe" Ruth Draws 5000
Fine. Indefinite SUSPENSION

st. Louis-"Babe" Ruth, former
homerun king of American baseball,
drew a $4,000 fine, and, what is worse,
an indefinite suspension, because his
conduct has been held detrimental to
the Yankee baseball team. With unex-

midget manager of the Yankees or
dered Ruth suspended and imposed
the fine on the grounds that Ruth's
conduct of late had been "unbecoming
a baseball player" Further than this
Higgins declined to reveal the nature
of the mighty Ruth's offense.
