Active Fall Business
Already Indicated in
Orders Of Franklin Co.
Output in September to Exceed
Average September Shipments
Over Five Year Period

Syracuse, N. Y, August 10.-0f-
ficials of the Franklin Automobile
Company state that orders already
in hand call for September shipments
that are rs per cent ahead of the
average September shipments of the
company over five-year period, and
40 per cent ahead of the 1924 Septem-
Der record. The company's normal

dealer orders now placed.
The firms June business broke all
records for this month in Franklin's
twenty-three year history, production
being 81 per cent ahead of May of

DON'T QUIT

When things go wrong, as they some
times will,
When the road you're trudging seems
all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts
are high,
And you want to smile, but have to
sigh,
When care is pressing you down bit,
Rest if you must-but don't quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns,
AS everyone of us, sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about
When he might have won had he stuck
it out;
Don't give up, though the pace seems
slow
You may succeed with another blow.
Often the goal is nearer than
1t seems to faint and faltering man.
Often the struggler has given up
When he might have captured the
victor's cup.
And he learned too late, when the
night slipped down,
How close he was to the golden crown.
Success is failure turned inside out
The silver tint of the clouds Of doubt.
And you never can tell how close You
are,
II may be near when it seems affair;
So stick to the fight when you're
hardest hit
It's when things seem worst that you
mustn't quit.

Smith was struggling through what
radio fans recognize as "bad radio
weather" 1t was only natural that
he should look into the possibilities
of making the set more useful by en-
larging it, A point that he hadn't
taken into consideration, however, was
that the manufacturer of the set had
already considered these points.
"You can't add stage of audio-
frequency amplification to your set, F."
said, because that would just result
in distortion. You are using two
audio-frequency tubes and two audio-
frequency transformers. That's two
stages of audio amplification, and
they are sufficient"
"But / thought that if l could
amplify some of these faint signals
/ get, my receiver would be more use
full because it would operate just as
we'll when the elements are against
it as when everything is in its favor"
Smith argued.
another stage of application
would enable you to make some of
these faint signals very audible, but
unless you want pure noise would
mt advise you to try it. You'll be
simplifying static, interference, bat
terry and tube noises as we'll"
Smith, however, was still determined
to try additional ampIification, but |
managed to save him trouble by sug-
gesting that he start improving his
sons crude set, developing it into a
portable affair for the car. He agreed
that it might mot be good policy to
change the circuit of his high grade,
well-built set, for he could never do
such skillful soldering, nor lay out the
units with such care.
This took him right back to first
principles, but as usual it started him
on the road to better conception of
the mystery radio. The boys set was
so elemental that Smith at once re-
called how absurd it was to regard a
stage of audio frequency amplifica-
ton as the one important way to add
to the set. When he examined the
one-tube set, he readily saw that
adding to set might mean chang

No. 26: Adding to the Set

ing the circuit, tuning the circuits
with variable condensers, installing a
grid leak, adding more tubes, adding
transformers, substituting better
transformers, and so on.
Smith had some stock radio units
on hand, so that simplified the pro-
cess of adding to the small set. We
at first discarded the two-slide tun-
ing coil which the boy had made him.
self. We then inserted a barometer
in the antenna-ground circuit, and also
variable condenser. Smith recalled
that the barometer was merely a
fixed coil with a rotor coil connected
in series. The current had to travel
through both coils, and by turning the
rotor the inductance could be varied
This enabled Smith to tune for the
proper wave length. The variable
condenser, of course, attended to the
matter of capacity
After the current passed through
the tuning unit, it was then led to
the grid of the detector tube, with a
grid leak and grid condenser placed
in between. The filament of the tube
was then lighted with single dry
cell, while the phones were connected
into the plate along with % IL
volt "B" battery.
We hooked up the receiver and
found that it worked fairly well or
local station. But improvement was
obviously necessary.
ssNow how do we add more tubes
and amplification? Smith asked.
at would be simpler to change the
circuit, wouldn't it," answered.
He hadn't considered reflaxing OF
adding regeneration as improving the
set. To him it was always matter
Of adding some fixed units, probably
because he had seen a neat and com
plete one-stage audio-frequency ampli-
fication unit in an accessory store
window.
The single-circuit, single-tube re-
ceiver was soon converted into a two
circuit regenerative receiver by in
sorting a variometer into the plate
circuit. 1t was also necessary to
change the wire to the grid, so that

A Substitute for Soldering Outside Joints

A Substitute for Soldering Outside
Joints
1t frequently happens that it is i'm
possible to solder some of the antenna
connections. This may be due to the
connections being in position where
they cannot be reached with hot
soldering copper, or it may be that
the antenna wire is of aluminium
which cannot be soldered.
In any case, an alternative to
soldering, is to clean the wires thor
oughly and then twist them tightly
together. Next, wrap the joint care
fully with fairly heavy tin foil
This will prevent the wire from
furnishing and will keep the joint
clean for years.
Incidentally, aluminium wire is a
good material to use for an antenna
because its surface will not corrode
as copper does. When aluminium is
used, couple of sizes larger wire
should be used in order to provide
the same mechanical strength as foi
copper. The connections to the alu
minum wire should be made as de.
scribed above.
Radio Industry Becoming Better
Organized
During the last year or so, there
have been many indications that ths
radio industry is really becoming or.

is the tendency of number of small
radio concerns to combine under 1
single management. Another indica

Aircraft Set Makes Records
An improved transmitter and re-
ceiver of the same general type as
used on the Drigible Shenandoah has
shown up well in preliminary tests.
A report from the Naval Commune
cations officer at Quantico, Va, says
that stations in England and France,
and several distant ship stations have
reported hearing the transmitter. A
wave-length of ss meters was used
in the transmission tests.
The receiver to this outfit has also
done good work, as it has picked up
shortwave stations up to 5000 miles
distant.
Duty on Imported Tubes
Radio tubes imported into the
United States are subject to the same
duty as incandescent light bulbs, which
are assessed at 20 per cent ad valorem.
This decision was recently handed
down in ruling of the United States
Board of General Appraisers.
At the present time, comparatively
few foreign tubes are imported, al
though there is some demand for cer-
tain types of French tubes. These
tubes which have grid connections
which are separated from the connec-
tions to the other elements, are spe-
cially adapted for use as radio fire.

Earthquake Disproyes Static Theory
French scientists have fostered a
theory that static might be produced
by the changing pressure on the
rocky material of the earth's crust
They predicted that an earthquake
would produce an unusual amount OF
static disturbance.
/ During the quake which was quite
severe in the northeastern part of the
United States on an evening of last
spring, no unusual amount of static
was reported from the millions who
were listening at the time. Also MIR

OBITUARY
Grin Kay

William Grin Kay was born May
y, 1896, at the present home of his
parents, Mr. and Mrs. VIM. Kay, in
the town of Martell.
He grew to manhood, or until the
fall of 1917, when he went to work in
the ship yards at Superior, working
there until the following spring.
Here he contracted muscular rheuma-
tism in SO violent a form as to shat
ter his health for some time, leaving
his heart in a weakened condition.
This seems to have been the cause
of his death, which came to him in
the quiet hours of the night.
On December 2, 1919, he married
Gladys Webster; they made their
home in Minneapolis until the
spring of 1920, when they came back
to help at home.
On November Ii, 1921 son was
born to them, shortly after Christ
mas they moved into their new home
on the Iverson place, where they liv-
ed until the time of his death.
Grin was a sunny, happy boy, and
leaves hosts of friends among the
younger set who will miss his ready
wit and genial smile from places
where they are wont to gather. Be
sides all those he leaves his wife, his
son, Billy, FIVE years old, his father,
mother and Uncle George and
Lucille at home; his sisters, Mrs.
Edna Boals, of Hollywood, Calf,
and Mrs. George Julian, of Maiden
Rock; and his brothers, Elmer of
