Have Your Tubes Tested.

Much has been said about testing
your batteries to make sure that they
are up to the standard and are
capable of supplying current of the
proper value to your tubes.
To obtain efficient operation, pro-
vided of course that the set has been
wired carefully and good parts and
efficient circuit have been used, it is
necessary to be sure that your bat
teries are in good condition and also
that your tubes are capable of per-
forming their function in the circuit.
Failure of tubes to do their duty
will always have very poor results
and in many cases the set will seem
ingly ''lie down on the job without
any apparent cause. Inspection Of
the tube prongs and socket springs
will show that they seem to be in
good condition; testing the various
filament, grid and plate circuits will
reveal no fault in the wiring; testing
the batteries shows them in good
condition, but the fact remains that
the set is not delivering it's best and
you are at a loss to determine the
source Of the trouble.
Hint on Tubes.
The tubes light up with usual
brilliancy, SO you dismiss the thought
the tubes. Before you start tearing
your set apart or call on an expert
for help, make sure that your tubes
are working properly. The fact that
they light up does not necessarily
mean that they are in good condition
Failure of the tube to function prop
erly is seldom due TO turnout unless
very high voltage of B battery pro-
portions have been applied across the
filament terminals of the tube. A
rather sudden decrease in the operat-
ing efficiency of the tube indicates the
end of it's useful life, but this should
not happen until after the tubes have
been used about 1000 hours, the use
full life of tube.
Continued application of filament
voltage, greater than the rated volt
age of the tube. however, will cause
temporary damage to the filament
If you make practice of tuning the
rheostat on full so as to get the
maximum amplihcation possible out
of the tube, instead of operating it
at the lowest voltage that win give
satisfactory results, you may find that
in a short time the tube will refuse to
function.
This condition of the tube can
| usually be determined from the fact
| that with the A battery at full charge
or voltage you will find it necessary
to turn your rheostat on much more
! than~waa the case when you first

markable growth of the left wing in
this city and the enthusiastic interest

capmakers, millinery workers, dress.
makers, journeymen tailors, clothing

eral. Admission is free.

linsky Of Cleveland, general organ.

ceived over one thousand votes in the
last election; M. Levin, ex-secretary
OF the Philadelphia joint board of the
l. L. G. w. u, and M. Ziebel of the

trades. II is suggested that workers
come early to this meeting as the
wonderful program witch has been ar.
ranged makes IT,. possible that the
late corners viii not find seats easily.
