To Get Best Results
in Using Loop Aerial

1t Is generally conceded that radio
Is about the most puzzling thing
known and many, by way of perform
ing various trifiing experiments will
vouch for this. Things that many say
cannot possibly be done are really per-
formed and good many of our little
everyday lunches" bring surprising
results
Many fans have found a loop aerial
will work better in one room of the
house than In another. Therefore, II
you want to do some interesting ex-
perimenting with this type of aerial.
give this idea a tryout.
Often large metallic frames, radia-
tors. ETC., affect the loop and the func-
tioning of your receiver. And should 1t
be removed to another room In exactly
the opposite direction surprising re-
suits will be obtained. 1t Is we'll to
bear in mind that no radio set, whether
receiving or transmitting, can be ex-
pected to work efficiently If large
metallic elements are In the immedi-
ate vicinity.

Some Common Results
of Rundown Batteries

Every radio amateur who roams the
air has felt the thrill of hearing a sta
ton come In at a new point on the
dial. Family but clearly comes this
new signal-perhaps 1t means DIX
record for the adventurer Of the ether.
Eagerly he awaits the announcement
of the stations letters when-oh! dis
appointment unutterable-the signal
wavers and vanishes completely.
Perhaps fading" is to be blamed.
but more likely it Is battery trouble
the reason why radio experimenters
develop that worried look. Here are
some of the results of rundown bat
teries:
/. Progressive decrease In signal
strength, eliminating in sudden and
total failure of a station to come In at
all.
2. Whistles and squeals as the set
slips in and out of oscillation at vari-
Gus points on the dial.
3. Limited range of the receiver.
a. Poor selectivity In certain cir
cults.

TALKING. TO THE DEAF.

MUCH has been written for those
49, who are III or afflicted but little
has been written to help those who
have to live with them. Yet have Of
ten thought that the family of
chronic invalid deserved quite as much
sympathy as the invalid did.
In recent issue of the Volta Re,
view, Miss Elizabeth Nevinson gives
some advice to those who live with or
have to come Id business or personal
relations with the deaf. Much, she
says has been written to help the deaf
but little for those who have to talk
to the. deaf.
Many persons are dull of hearing but
not deaf enough to have to use trum-
pets or phones They cannot hear
well, but they don't like to admit 1t.
They resent having their deafness mo-
ticed or remarked on. How can they
be handled tactfuIly? Miss Nevinson
makes some valuable suggestions on
this point.
Nearly all deaf persons have one ear
better than the other. They try to
get any one they are talking to on the
side of their good ear" Find out
the good ear Of any deaf person
and stay near 1t.
Don't shout. This embarrasses the
listener, without helping him. A voice
raised too high is as hard to hear as
one too low. Find out what tone each
deaf person can hear best, and stick
TO 1t.
Note the distance at which your
deaf friend can hear you best. 1t
varies greatly In different persons.
Speak naturally. Don't mouth
your words in an effort to make the
deaf person understand. All instruc-
tlon In lip reading, now so common
among the deaf, Is based on the ex-
pectation of natural speech. Mouth
ing" only confuses the deaf person.
Speak slowly and distinctly, espe-
cially If the deaf person is COM
parative stranger. Slow, distinct
speaking is much more effective than
raising your voice.
Look directly at the person to whom
you are speaking. The voice car
ries more clearly and the deaf listener
can see your lips.
Emphasize the most important word
In the sentence, the "key word" on
which the meaning hinges.
If the deaf person, through confu-
sion or inability to hear, "gets lost or
"gets out of the conversation" bring
him back with a question or comment,
which will again put him In touch
with the conversation.
Don't drop your voice at the end
Of the sentence. Don't let your face
show impatience or irritation II your
deaf friend does not understand. Put
him at his ease and he can hear bet
ter than he can If he is shouted at, irri-
tated and confused
