As an interesting sidelight on
the New York premiere Of Rose
Marie, which comes to Polls Sum
day night, it is the first time in
Broadway observation that the
New York newspapers have ever
assigned two men to review one
show.
BY a system of reviewing pc
culiar to New York, a dramatic
offering is always given prefer
ence by the critics there, as
against a musical piece. On the
night that Rose Marie" opened
at the Imperial Theater,. in New
York, it was pitted against three
important dramatic premiereS:
principally What Price Glory"
and it was the latter that most Of
the critics attended.
In consequence, the Rose
Marie" assignments were passed
to the second-line critics, or sub

set was usually large and necessitated
frequent requirements. The use of a
&C" battery on the audio stages was
quite common. but few dared to try
1t on the radio side, and still fewer
were successful.
Reduction of the usual number of
turns in the primaries has been dis.
eussed, and the thought probably oc.
ours to many that the signal strength
may be reduced by this procedure. Il
is. but the deficiency is readily made
up by the use of &C" battery on the
radio frequency side. We do not save
great deal in total "B' battery cur.
rent, because ii is necessary to use a
somewhat higher voltage on the
plates of the radio amplifier tubes
but we gain in signal strength. Much
has been written on the use OF rather
low potentials on the plates of radio
frequency amplifiers. but it appears
TO the writer that the use of a C
battery prevents the usual tendency
toward partial ratification in these
tubes. and therefore produces greater
efficiency with higher plate voltage.
The &C" batteries are generally
supplied With one three and one four
and 'one.half volt tap, many having
onlysshe latter. This voltage is often

To add fuel to the fire 1t may be
said further that the average home
constructor either does not know or
does not pay attention to the prin-
on which successful neutraliza-
ton is based. What further proof is
needed than the observation that most
home constructors are disappointed
with their first neutrodyne, while pur-
chasers of factory built sets of this
type are almost always enthusiastic
from the beginning?
Importance OF Preventing Coupling.
When the neutrodyne principle was
first demonstrated by Professor HaZ-
eltine, it was pointed out that not
only must the inductances be so
placed as to prevent interstage coup.
ling between the neutroformers, but
also the wiring must be so arranged
as to prevent capacitative coupling,
especially between grid and plate
leads. In addition. large by pass con
densers were provided to form a ready
path for radio frequency currents in
portions of the circuit where high
resistance to them would prove
troublesome

1t is perfectly possible to set the
three inductances with their axes IN
three different directions, !. e., In
three planes intersecting at right
angles. IL we consider planes as being
passed at the proper direction through
the axes. This is illustrated in Fig. J..
Some commercial receivers have en-
ploved this method of placing the in
ductances, but 1t should be remem'
bered that when this is done dificulty
NAV be encountered in that right an
sled wiring will create maximum
coupling effects between connecting
wires and the inductances. On the
other hand. when the original method
IS used, the angles prevent most OF
the possible trouble from this source.
The original angle of approximately
55 degrees from the horizontal Is not
empirical and may vary about de-
grees one way or the other. For this
rea son, some of the commercial re-
ceivers are constructed with a means
for varying the angle so as to get the
best adjustment.

capacity is used between the grid
return of each r. +. amplifier and
the negative post on the socket. This
bypasses these currents around the
'C' battery and permits the latter to
serve merely as a means of main
tanning a negative bias on the grids.
In addition, a one MID. is used be-
tween each of the positive posts on
the r. +. sockets and the ends of
the second and third primary coils
TO which the "B" plus is connected.
This permits the high frequency cur.
rents to bypass the "B" battery and
is in accordance with general prae.
tice, except that two are used in
place of the usual one.

on the type of transformer used.
To the average person the use Of all
these condensers looks rather expen-
sive and perhaps unnecessary. To
answer possible question of this
sort. it may be said that it is some
times possible to obtain good results
with only one or two bypass con.
densers in the whole circuit, but that
for all around, consistent results the
use of the condensers will more than
pay for itself. The stability and
quality which they give to the re-
oeiver can seldom be appreciated, but
it is there, nevertheless.
RheOstats.

from the same rheostat while the de
tector will require a separate rheo-
state. II 7x24 panel Is to be used,
there is hardly room for a third rheo-
stat. but the fixed resistances now
coming into general Use will from an
admirable substitute. The actual vol.
tage required from the audio sta
is not critical and the use Of such
resistances will be appreciated more
and more as their use becomes more
general.

needs little attention. If hard tube

will give an excellent volume control

superior to bakelite in many ways, in
Guiding lower dielectric losses, easier

the forms to the condensers will re-
quire some forethought
II choice of condensers is per
mitted, the best type is one that has
holes in the back plate spaced be
tween two and .one-half and three
inches apart so that. the holes in the
forms may be drilled at almost SINH

be bolted onto the condenser by using

how this is done is shown in Fig. 2.

its point of destination. Suppose, for
instance, it Is desired to conduct 'B''
battery voltage of say, 80 volts, from
the binding post in the back of the
set to each of the radio frequency
amplifiers. In the old methods of
wiring, a single piece of bus bar
would be brought out and carried to
the furthest point. and the other lead
would be soldered on at some inter
mediate point.
With the flexible wire (which should
preferably be rubber covered. strand.
ed, timed wire, the total outside
diameter of the wires alone being
about equivalent to No. 1S), separate
leads would be taken from each point
to the binding posts. Then we de
liberately bunch all battery leads so
as TO get the maximum possible ca
pacity between them and thus cut
down the effective resistance OF the
ba tteries to high frequency currents.
This would not be advisable If It were
not for the fact that many other by
pass condensers are placed In the cir.
cult to make this punching useful.
The position and use of these will be
given later.
Inductance Specifications.
There Is so much chance for varia.
lions in individual condensers, even

a recognized fact that 1t is not pos

Radio Has Put
Hastings on Map
National Geographic Society
Tells How Town Grew
to Fame.

Washington, April 10.-Hastings,
Neb., the location of kFKX, has
changed from an obscure village to
the goal of millions of the radio fra
ternity. Nearly everybody wants to
get Hastings on his set at least once.
So important has become the village
that the National Geographic society
has issued a short bulletin regard
ing 1t.
Radio is the Croesus OF fame,
playing the prince for many Gin
derella cities,' says the National Geo
graphic society. "Once Hastings was
just one of the American cities under
1000 population. Now it is a radio
mecca
"A tube set that has not made
pilgrimage to Hastings and back is
best known and least known city in
the United States. The huge relay
station for KDKA, of Pittsburgh To-
Gated there. is nearly in the geo.
graphical center Of the United States.
Absence of tall buildings in Hast
ings and Of high hills in the neigh
boring countryside and the presence
of good ground water are conditions
counted in favor Of establishing a
station at this place.
when America tunes in on Hast
ings it gets a main street town on
the edge of what used to be called
the Great American desert.
If Hastings could broadcast mo-
tion pictures Of its activities, it
would show the large pens down near
the railroad where steers and sheep
are stopping off for a bite according
to government regulation before re-
training for Kansas City or Chicago.
We might see laborers leaving for
thet sugar beet fields near Grand
Island on the Platte river.
For scenery, there are the foot
hills just to the west, outriders of the
Fad Lands farther north. Probably
we would be shown farming opera
tions to the east, where fertile soil,
sometimes 100 feet deep, supports
corn which Jack of the Bea nstalk
would admire, and seas of wheat.

the reduction to n point where no
oscillations will occur and where tun=
Ing will be razor like on every dial,
but such a procedure is not desirable
Taps for the neutrodons are in ae.
cordance with common practice, but
the mid tap on the first coll Is some
what new. The variable condepser is
shunted across the entire secondary
of the first coil. but the grid and fla
ment leads are taken from the mid
tap and bottom respectively.
This reduces the signal strength
slightly, but renders synchronizing of
the first dial easier and helps very
materially In stabilizing the circuit.
In placing the coils. one feature
should be strictly observed. That IS.
the hlament leads OF the first and
third coils should be taken from the
bottom, while that from the second
should be taken from the top. Thus.
the neutroformer tap on the middle

that on the third Is near the bottom.
This feature should be kept In mind
when the coils are wound so az to
allow for proper mounting. In one
