going right past the critical points
where the fine results would be had.
His set would work better on the usual
stations, but, trying for the more diff
ficult ones without more headwork, he
meets disappointment.
'"The low loss business not only
applies to the individual units, but to
the relations between the units them
selves. You probably have seen in
structions for building sets in which
the advisability of having all leads as
short as possible was emphasized. And
perhaps you noticed that certain coils
had to be set at angles to each other
In order to increase their efficiency
and decrease the tendency one has of
affecting the other.
In the design of one of the new
coils a small magnetic field is pro
vided. This IS supposed to act as "a
shield and to enable the set builder to
disregard the usual precautions against
putting coils too near the field of an
other. 1t Is a sample of the sort Of
thing that is going on every day in

No. 41-Puzzled by Low Loss.

Every so often Smith becomes dis
couraged and jumps to the conclusion
that he doesn't know anything about
radio. That usually Is the time when
he is making greatest progress!
This time 1t was the matter of low
loss" He had seen the term ap-
piled to coils, transformers and con-
densers. 1t was used in radio articles
and in the advertisements. but it
meant absolutely nothing to him, ex-
cept another radio puzzle.
Smith being true student of radio,
proceeded to enlist the aid of one of
his neighbors in solving this latest
mystery.
Brown" said Smoth. addressing
one OF the best informed of his radio
friends, I've allowed myself to be-
come puzzled over this low loss buSi-
ness. Maybe it's too big subject for
you to answer. but it occurred to me
that you might be able to take some
one object of low loss design and de-
scribe it to me, telling me wherein it
differs from the average design of ra-
dio part"
It's a very simple subject and vet
a very complicated one" Brown ex-
planned Low loss simply means
the ability of a radio unit to do what
it was intended to do without branch
ing out into n lot of other activities.
Take yourself and your job. by way
analogy. If you spend too much time
playing golf or listening to the mid
night jazz off, the ether, the boss can
figure that you're in the high loss
category. He'll be looking around
for a low loss man, one who can
handle his job without allowing too
much of his energy to leak off in too
many other directions.
The ideal coil in a receiving set is
one that will attend to the business
of inductance without becoming inter.
ested in capacity and resistance. Try
as the manufacturers will to make this
perfect coil. it will develop certain
losses. Low loss is then compare
tive term. All radio units are designed

Dairying Enriches Soil
of States Best County

Grant county is richer yearly by
$640,000 because of the soil fertility
produced as a by-product of dairying,
according to a recent compilation.
The figure is based on data resulting
from many carefully kept records on
considerable number of farms.
The average quantity of manure re-
covered for use on crop lands in the
area studied was IA tons per COW,
and since the fertilizing value of a
ton of manure is $3.50 the by-pro-
duct value of each COW is approx
mately twenty dollars. The applica-
ton of this figure to the $4,000 dairy
cattle in this county brings the total
added value to the soil fertility here
to the almost unbelievable figure
given above.
In keeping with its better feeding
program it is estimated that from $3.50
to 500 greater profit from each ton
of feed can be made by local farmers
who milk COWS through improved
feeding methods, alone This was dem
onstrated by the experiment recently
concluded by the University of Min
nesota The schools dairy division
about a year ago purchased four av-
erage COWS with available records but
without a scientific feeding ration and
by merely placing them on home
grown feeding ration suitable to their
needs, increased each cows produc-
ton almost forty per cent.

Jennette Flora Margaretta Kasper

Jennette Flora Margaretta Kasper

North Lancaster. She was baptized
Jan. 6, 1907. She renewed her baptis-
NAL VOW in ST. Paul's Evangelical
church, Liberty, April 8, 1922. She
passed away Saturday evening, Dec.
81, 1924, at the age of IL years, 3
months and 25 days. Funeral services
were conducted by Rev. E. Crusius of
Bethlehem Evangelical church, Lam
caster, of which she was an active
and faithful member, also being a
highly esteemed member of the Beth
lehem Evangelical League.
Jennette was OF a quiet disposition
always considerable of others and their
rights. She graduated from Fennimore
high school in June, 1924. Jennette did
not enjoy good health, having leakage
of the heart practically all her life.
Although not being permitted to en-
Joy health she slept peacefully into
the world beyond where there is no
more sorrow or pain. The pastor
spoke words of comfort and cheer
from Luke 8-48: Daughter Thy Faith
Hath Made Thee Whole; Go in Peace"
She was laid to rest in Eillside.
