Washington's Crossing of the Delaware

The tale of one of the most heroic
and significant chapters in American
history, that of Washington's Cross
ing of the Delaware and the resultant
victories at Trenton and Princeton,
will be told in terms of stark realism
to the Millions Of visitors to the Ses-
quicentennial International Exposition
which opens in Philadelphia, June /,
1926.
In the exhibit of New Jersey, which
embodies the reconstruction of the
Hessian barracks at Trenton, will be
portrayed the site of the battle that
marked the turn of the tide of Ameri-
can fortunes during the Revolutionary
War.
The winter of 1776 marked the
darkest days Of the Colonial cause.
When the fate of independence seemed
doomed to disaster, when the colonies
felt that theirs was a struggle with
out gain, and when faith gave way to
dismay, 1t was Washington to whom
the people looked for hope and cour-
age. The tale of his crossing Of the
Delaware has become an epic.

Overhauling the Radio Receiver

Now that oiur mid-winter weather
is here, radio reception should be at
its best, and static disturbances should
be at minimum. If your receiver
persists in making static-like noises,
it probably needs complete cleaning
and overhauling. If this is done care
fully and Systematically, the results
will be well worth the trouble.
In the first place, get rid of the
loose dirt in the set. Do this by WHIP
ing off all of the accessible surfaces
with cloth. This applies to the front
and back of the panel, TO the tube
sockets, rheostats, transformers, fixed
and variable condensers, jacks, Undue
tances, etc.
Then use bellows or bicycle
pump and blow out the remaining
dust. Take a pipe cleaner, or as a
substitute, thin strip of cloth twisted
between two wires, and clean thor
oughly between the plates of the var
liable condensers. This last is import
ant, as dust on condenser plates is
very frequently responsible for noisy
reception.
Next, go over every soldered con-
nection in the set. Give each joint
The Carbon County news. [volume] (Red Lodge, Mont.) 1924-1931, 1925-12-24

steady pull with the pliers, to see
that it is secure, taking not of them
for granted. Then go over every bind
ing post and tighten it with the pliers.
Clean Tube Contacts
Next go over the tubes and sockets.
Clean the contacts on each tube with
fine sandpaper, or by scraping with a
knife. If the sockets used are of the
type making contact with the sides of
the prongs of the tubes, special care
must be taken in cleaning the sides of
those prongs. The contact springs in
the sockets should each be bent up a
little to make a firmer contact with
the tubes.
Outside the set proper, the principal
things to watch are the batteries and
the antenna system. See that the sur
faces of all of the batteries are thor
oughly clean and dry. If the case for
the A battery is old, or seems to be
soaked with moisture, it should rest
upon piece of rubber, glass, or some
other insulator. The B and C batter
les should be tested for voltage, and
should be replaced with new ones if
the voltage has dropped more than
1870 below normal.

TO TEST CAUSE OF
RADIO FADING FROM
20 OBSERVATORIES

Investigation of fading" on scale
never before attempted in the United
States will be made in mid-January at
twenty observatory stations, it was
announced to-day by J. X. Smith of
the Stewart Warner corporation.
Hitherto such experiments have
been carried on in isolated sections of
the country between two or at most
three stations. The results of such
research have been negligible. There
is still no explanation of why signals
should be stronger in the winter than
static electricity leaps out of ones
hair or sparks out of the rug at ones
feet, and weak in summer when there
are apparently no static charges in
the things about us, according to Mr..
Smith.
The Stewart Warner observation
posts will chart readings on selected
distant stations every two minutes
during the period of the tests. The
results win be averaged and plotted
on map similar to that issued by the
government weather bureau. 1t is the
belief Of the engineers conducting the
tests that curves which will make pos
sible a comparison of effects and a
search for causes will result. If so,
The Carbon County news. [volume] (Red Lodge, Mont.) 1924-1931, 1925-12-24

the experiment will be repeated at
regular intervals throughout the
Winter.
by a comparison of fading and
the static curves with those of the
U. S. weather map it will be possible
to determine the effect of weather on
such phenomena" said Mr.. Smith, "By
plotting the curves of fading and
static in tests on stations of varying
wave length, some tangible progress
may be made toward discovering
what frequencies are best for broad
cast.
"The plan to hold the tests originat-
ed in discovery that Chicago recep-
ton this year has failed to follow the
accepted rules. There have been sew
eral clear, cold nights on which it has
been impossible to hear stations 500
miles distant.
"On the other hand, there have been
warm, wet nights entirely free from
static and perfect for broadcast recep-
ton from distant points"

The terminals Of the A battery
should be cleaned with special care.
The wires leading from the A battery
TO the receiver should be well insu-
lated, and their terminals thoroughly
cleaned with sandpaper. If stranded
wire is used, make sure than none of
the strands are broken. Clamp the
wires securely on the cleaned term
inals of the A battery, and coat heav-
lily with vaseline.
The chief trouble with the antenna
system is likely to be in the ground
connection. See that this connection
is on cold water pipe if possible, and
if possible, that it is a soldered joint.
If this wire is only clamped on the
pipe, remove it, and file or sandpaper
a clean surface on the pipe before re-
placing it. The antenna insulators
should also be inspected. If they are
very old, or too dirty to be well clean
ed, they should be replaced with new
ones of glazed proclaim.
Q.-L. S. P wants to know: "If a
B battery eliminator will operate sat-
isfactorily on a reflex set"
Ans.-Yes, if the eliminator is prop
erely constructed, it will work on any
type of receiver.
&C. E. C. says: 81 have built a
wave trap to use in connection with
my Superdyne receiver. The trap is
satisfactory in eliminating interfer-
ence, but | cannot tune with it very
well in practice, because of my body
capacity effect. Can this trouble be
avoided in any way?"
Ans.-If the circuit will not permit
the rotary plates of the condenser to
be grounded, the whole trap may be
mounted in a shielded case, and the
shielding grounded.
On. D. S. says: 81 am using 3
tube crystal reflex set. The set seems
to work about the same, however,
whether the crystal is in adjustment
or not. Is this the usual behavior of
crystal sets ?"
Ans.-No. 1t is probable that your
crystal is insensitive. With a good
crystal, you should get much louder
signals with the contact on a sensitive
spot.

Howe held Philadelphia, CORVALLIS
was at Trenton, and Rail- with 1400
men, mostly Hessians, was at Trenton.
The small army at Valley Forge, chal-
lenged by the hardships of severe
winter, endured the ordeals of STAR
walton and cold. Weary, half clad,
poorly-shod men responded to Wash
ington's orders to advance. In cold
and binding snow the army began its
march to Trenton. Undaunted by the
distance the soldiers trudged the white
snow for twenty miles, leaving behind
trail in their footprints of blood.
One the night before Christmas,
1776, on the west side of the river
and nine miles above Trenton, Wash
ington determined to attack the force
of Hessians quartered in that city.
He divided his forces into three col
umns and ordered them across the
Delaware. Two columns were forced
to turn back because of the difficulties
of the passage. A terrific storm and
an ice-filled river demanded every
atom of strength. 1t remained for the
third column, with which Washington
