necessary to make any changes. The
switching means available for such
purposes are many and varied.
One of the cheapest methods Is that
shown below. All that is necessary is
a double-pole, single-throw switch
The positive B battery terminals of
the battery should be connected with
the knife blade terminals of the
switch. The other two terminals of
the switch should be connected with
the positive B battery terminals of
the set.
Closing the switch connects the 3
batteries with the receiver. Opening
the switch diSconnects the batteries
from the set. 1t is not necessary to
use more than a two-blade switch un-
less there are more than two positive
B battery leads. Opening the switch
opens the B battery circuit so that
the short-circuiting or wrong connec-
ton of the B battery across the fila
ment leads will not harm the tubes.
The idea can be carried farther by
using a switch having a larger num-
Der of blades so that all the leads, in
cluding aerial and ground. may be
disconnected or connected at one
throw of the switch. If a double
throw type of switch is installed, two
sets may be tested against each other
for purposes of comparison or one
good set can be used to test for the
stations that are on the air to be used
as guide in testing the new set.
One of the simplest methods of
switching from one set to another or
of connecting and disconnecting all

NEW TESTS
OF GROUND RADIO
Dr.. Rogers Hopes to Prove
Superiority of Earth in
BroadCastIng.

DIR. ]. Harris Rogers. father of the
underground wireless. is preparing a
series of experiments for next Winter
to further demonstrate his theory of
the superiority of the earth to the air
as transmtter of radio waves. This
series will proba bly, be his last, for the
famous scientist is well on in years
and intends to retire,
With his underground antennae
which served to detect German dis
patches during the war now buried
under his laboratory in HyattSville,
Md, DR.. Rogers believes he can give
additional proof of the advantages of
ground transmission and reception.
His successful attempts to commu-
nicate with Pacific coast by means
of buried transmitting antennae, dis
continued because of static and un'
favorable weather conditions, will be
resumed in the Fall.
"I hope to be able next Winter to
demonstrate the remarkable ability of
the earth to serve as d static reducer
through the Use of underground an
tenuae for both transmitting and re-
ceiving," DR.. Rogers declared today.
There is no doubt that in my tests
this Spring the ground has proved
it's powers of reducing static and at
the same time minimizing fading
DR.. Rogers hopes to have the as
sistance of amateurs in the Middle
West and on the Pacific coast next
Winter when he starts a new series
of tests as he did recently when
volunteers on the Pacific coast laid
underground antennae and picked up
the signals sent from the Maryland
laboratory.
II hope now" he said today, Ito
receive this cooperation both in send
ing and receiving toward the end of
the Summer and at d time before the
bad static season is ended.

kindly offer with alacrity and graft

No adventures in my whole life have
ever interested me more than thought
transmission, or mental telepathy. or
whatever the strange condolences
ought to be called. I've just had my
first telepathic experience by radio.
Last Tuesday evening l was showing
couple of newspaper colleagues
Victorian silver service presented to
me by the late Lord Northcliffe. We
were looking at the silver plate on the
chest. which is inscribed to me: I'm
Token Of His Service in Great Britain
During the World War" At the very
second that Charles S. Groves, Wash
ington correspondent OF the Boston
Globe and Henry Cabot Lodges
biogra pher, was reading the inscrip-
ton aloud, there floated out of the air
the stirring strains of Rule, Britain
MIA" 1t was being played in the midst
of a WRC travelogue, which had just
reached Gibraltar.
X
Next morning l had an even un.
cannier telepathic experience. 1 had
changed my collar at a downtown
club the previous evening, and dis
tinctly remembered removing a dia-
mond scarfpin from the tie. When
/ went to bed ] somehow or other
missed the pin. My first thought was
that / had left 1t at the club. / Wis
ualiZed the marble windowsill where
I'd put it. Though it was midnight, l
decided to telephone to see if any club
servant had found the pin. My wife
advised me to take another look
around the house. Then it suddenly
dawned on me that / had put the pin
in my lower Waistcoat pocket, a ha bit.
At breakfast next morning my maid
servant f1abberga sted me by telling me
that she had had IL distressing night.
for she had dreamed that l had lost
my priced scarfpin.
That story about the Won Steuben
statue keeps on producing dividends.
Mrs. Irwin trasburger of New York,
a visitor to Washington, saw the
yarn and writes me:
Here's a sidelight on a your mon
ument story. My little girl was
asked in school the other day, in
a history quiz, TO tell something
about Lincoln. She said: Lin
coin was famous for his memory
The teacher had never heard that
before and asked my daughter
where she got the idea. The
youngster replied: ON my way to
school every day, I see a statue
which has on it: ITO the Memory
of Abraham Lincoln."'

uses the multiplying arrangement in
place of binding posts for battery con-
nections.
While these methods safeguard the
tubes against any accidental connec-
ton of the B battery current across
the filament terminals either through
q slip in the tools or the wiring of
the set while making changes, they do
not safeguard the tubes in the case of
errors made in wiring the set.

advices received by the Russian In

The Soviet commissariat for posts

His tube mortality is high because
the inevitable slip of a screwdriver or
other tool or the contact Of the wrong
wires always result in reduction of
the tube population.
This type of fan finds the ordinary
method of removing the tubes every
time he desires to change the circuit
a tedious and time consuming precau-
ton and so he usually takes the en-
tirely unnecessary chance OF burning
out his tubes.
There are several ways of elm
mating such chance-taking with the
precious lives of radio tubes.
One of the simplest methods of do
ing this Is to use some switching
