SOMETHING ABOUT EVERYTHING AND EVERYBODY

Hats were once worn by freemen,
slaves went bareheaded. A freeman
voluntarily removed his hat as a SYM
boil of respect and service, which in
time became a common courtesy.
Thus we take off our hats to ladies.
An Indian, who once wore a blanket

Kansas, who has taken the place

Lodge.

The "Phage" is a parasite which
feeds on disease bacteria. Its deadly

on pneumonia, typhoid, diptheria,
chicken cholera and anthrax, bact-

Statistics prove: that the number OF
death from tuberculosis is decreasing
that the number of deaths from can
Ger is increasing.

With 46.2 per cent of her male

Litigation SaUed by
Diversity of Opinion

When two men of high standing fall
out it is usually over one of the most
trivial things in life. 1t would not be
fair, perhaps, to say that Senator
Lodge and General Paine actually fell
out, but they were neighbOrs al Ma
liant and General Paine wanted right
of way across Mr.. Lodges property.
The question of right was rather in
volved, and Paine consulted lawyer,
who said, you haven't case"
Not satisfied, he consulted another,
who gave him a similar opinion.
There the matter rested for q few
days, when the general received a let
ter from the senator saying, 'As to the
right of way, 1 have. consulted two
lawyers, both of whom tell me you
can probably sustain your contention
in court. / suggest, therefore, that we
come together and arrange for the
right of way as you desire"

Makes Tubes More Sensitive.
This excessive alternating voltage
applied to the filament boils the
thorium from the inside of the fla
ment wire and brings 1t to the sur
face If this treatment were con-
tinued for any length OF time 1t
would soon boil all of the thorium
from the surface, but you will notice
that this excessive voltage is used
only for 80 seconds. We now apply
the lower voltage which bakes the
thorium on the suface, thus bringing
the tube back to life again.
Tubes that would not draw the
least amount of plate current and
therefore would not operate were
treated in the above manner and are
now working efficiently.
Many times detector tubes can be
made more sensitive by this treat
ment. Taking everything into consid-
Grafton it is an inexpensive method of
salvag:ng tubes.-New York Sun.

Adjusting Voltage on
Your Amplifier Tubes

Most or us know 1t is an advantage
to be able to closely regulate the plate
voltage for the detector tube, especial
ly when soft or gassy tube is used.
For the amplifier 1t is customary to
use single plate voltage in the order
of 67k to 80, or in rare cases 120, for
the two tubes, and let 1T go at that
This practice has been general up to
date because it was found by early
experimenters in radio that a critical
adjustment of the plate voltage on
amplifier tubes was not needed
Quite few experimenters are using
a lower plate voltage ON the first audio
tube than is used ON the second one,
with somewhat better results, getting
away from all possible distortion due
TO overloaded tubes.
But there is still another case where
the adjustment of the amplifier plate
voltage is Of a distinct advantage,
and where the Improvement in the sig
nal is more easily noticeable, and that
is when any one of the B battery elm
inators now on the market is used as
the source of supply. 49,.
Experiments conclusively prove we
have not been getting the most out of
the amplitier until this voltage is close
ly regulated. While it can be noticed
with the signals from the local stations,
it is more noticeable on the more dis
tant stations.
1t seems that the plate voltage is
determined somewhat by the par
ticular filament temperature that is
used. For example, when we have
the rheostat three-quarters of the way
on we get the best signal with a plate
voltage of As. Increasing this to 50
or 60 volts only gives us signal that
is very mushy and far from clear. This
can be cleared up somewhat by ad-
vancing the rheostat until we have a
similar condition, which gives us the
mushy signal and we must again ad-
vance the rheostat.
1t is a we'll known fact that constant
increase of the filament brilliancy will
reduce the life of the tube.
From the above one would think all
that would be necessary then would
be to have either the plate voltage ad-
Unstable or a variable filament resist
ance. This is not the case, however, as
it is best to have both adjustable; the
perfect balance which is desired can
not be obtained with one ADJUSTMENT

B Battery Eliminator
and Rectifer Tubes

Practically all of the devices to elm
mate b batteries and run the plates
of the tubes off the house lighting cir
cult make use of the 201-A type tube
as a rectifier. The success of the b
battery eliminator depends upon the
efficiency of the rectifier tubes. In
one way the b battery eliminator Is a
good test for your tubes. If the tubes
are poor, the results obtained from the
b battery eliminator will be poor. The
alternating current b battery device
will not work with bootleg tubes. At
least six standard tubes should be tried
In the b battery eliminator before Sc
lecting the tubes for rectifcation. The
controlling factor of the tube as a
rectifiey is the electronic emission
within the tube. Should the tube have
small emission the output of the de-
vice will also be small. To try the
tubes 1t is only necessary to insert
various tubes in the rectif1er sockets
until the best results are obtained.
Whenever possible, the standard tubes
should he used. After the tubes have
been selected for the rectifier they

A number of radio fans have had
the very discouraging experience of
tubes failing to operate although the
filament still lights. This usually oc-
ours to OLA and so type tubes, and
is condition often brought on by ex-
cessive filament voltage.
Outside of the fact that the tube
has been operated at a voltage in
excess of its rating. the actual cause
for the tube to become imperative
remains complete mystery to many
fans. What actually takes place in
side OF this delicate piece of appa-
ratus is:
The three-electrOde vacuum tube
depends for its operation on the fact
that heated filament throws off cleo
irons. These electrons are thrown In
all directions and are minute charges
of negative electricity. The plate Is
given a positive charge and therefore
attracts these small negative charges.
In the -O1A and 80 tubes the fila
ment is thOrium treated wire. The
reason for using thorium is that this
metal is one of the best-known emit
ters of electrons. Now If we use an
excessive filament voltage, the tiny
filament wire will be heated to a
much higher temperature than the
temperature at the normal filament
rating. This excessive heat boils all
the thorium off the filament. When
the thorium has been removed from
the surface of the filament wire the
tube becomes dead as far as reception
is concerned, due TO the absence Of
electronic emission to form the con-
ductor from filament to plate.
