gler posted in front of the American
Legion clubrooms on Market street,
faced east and sounded taps in mem
ory of those who lie silently in their
eternal resting place. It was only a
moment Of silent tribute but during
that period there was many a tear IN
many an eye, and there were many
who shared that PARKWAY look of long
ing for some one who had gone
since the first armistice day was
celebrated.
Kenosha was bedecked with flags to-
day. From windows, housetops, build
ings, fagstaffs, and on stats in front
of stores and offices throughout the
city, Old Glory waved today.
This sane scene is being enacted
throughout the nation, throughout the
world, wherever a great sob of relief,
triumph, jov arose from war tortured
souls when the word was flashed about
the world--''the war is overl"
This afternoon Kenosha will continue
on its way with little out Of the or
binary to occupy its attention with. the
exception Of an occasional memory
here or an escaping sob there.
This evening the American Legion
post here will place little variety
into the program. They have secured
Capt. c. B. Hopkins, head Of the Mill
tary Intelligence association of the
Sixth Corps area with headquarters
at Chicago, to talk at eight-fifteen
o'clock in the new Legion clubrooms
ON the second floor of the former
county courthouse building on Market
street at the corner of Sheridan road
Preceding this address there will be
parade headed by The American Lee
gion band Of sixty pieces and the Nash
band. Following the evenings pro-
gram there will be informal dancing
in the Legion clubrooms open to the
public.

NEW WIS PLANT
IS LAST WORD
IN RADIO
Beauty and Efficiency Are
Combined in Newest
Chicago Station. Il

Science and art at the peak of their
present-day development have been
fused together to produce the new
!. w IA s. the Sears-Roebuck Agricul-
tural Foundation Station, Chicago.
The broadcasting studio just complet.
ed in the New Hotel Sherman annex.
Chicago, is an example of an entirely
original and modern type of art. while
no phase of science which radio wiz
ards have been able TO discover has
been left untouched in building the
superpower transmitting station for
W l. s near Crete. Illinois. The in
augural program on the new station
was given last evening.
This station will give the last word
in transmitting efficiency. The trans
mitter Is 5O00-watt capacity and the
tubes will be 10000 watt units. A
specially designed frequency amplifier
system will assure the holding of the
same wave length under all condi.
tons and the use Of the capacity coup
ling will reduce possibility of inter.
ference with other stations, accord
ing to Curtis d. Peck. chief operator.
The station is located on a two and
a half acre plot on the Dixie high
way, just south of Crete. The site is
Handicapped and beautified with hedges
and creeping bent grass lawns. Drives
and parking space for visitors also are
provided. Fifteen miles Of ground
wire were plowed in rows under the
lawn, very much as a farmer plants
potatoes.

By WALTER o. EVANS
Engineer KYW.

Nowadays we hear a great deal
about dead spots" over the country.
where radio signals behave irregularly.
In some areas, poor reception from
all stations is experienced: in others.
only stations in certain direction
are heard, and in few localities sta
tons Of different wave lengths have
widely varying receiving characteris-
tics.
Probably the most pronounced dead
spot in the western hemisphere is To-
Gated between Havana and Cape San
Antonio, on the northwest coast OF
Cuba.
Ships coming up from the Canal
Zone will communicate. with Havana
without interruption for four days I'M
til they round Cape. San Antonio. AL
though only nine or ten hours distant,
they will not hear the station at Ha-
rana again until almost in sight of the
towers.
Traverse Bay, Portage Lake and
Green Bay, on the Great Lakes, are
well known dead spots to ship opera
tors. Strong signals will diminish to
nothing within a few minutes as the
entrance to these waters is passed.
There is wide belt across the cen
trail portion Of Illinois where eastern
and western stations are very we'll
received. but stations to the north are
seldom heard satisfactorily at night.

CARE In ERECTING
AERIAL IMPORTANT

When erecting an antenna, the poles
supporting the wire or wires should
be guyed in four directions. The guys
should be provided with insulators and
the poles should be located with re-
spect to the edges Of the building roof
so that there will be no hazard of
falling off the roof.
The lead-in wire should be kept five
inches away from all parts of the
building. The same air space should
be provided for all ground wires.
Spices and joints in the antenna span
and lead-in wires, unless made with
approved clamps or splicing devices,
should be soldered.
All antenna and lead-in wires should
be of copper or approved copper clad
steel, not smaller than No. IA, B. and
S. gauge. The lead-in wires should
only enter the building through nom
combustible, non-absorptive insulating
bushings.

KITCHEN KNIFE AID
IN STRIPPING WIRES

A common kitchen pairing knife
with a couple of notches filed near the
handle end of the blade makes a very
useful tool for skinning the ends OF
insulated wire. The edges of the
notches are filed sharp and each notch
must be Just deep enough to cut
through the rubber insulation on the
wire it is intended for without sever
ing any of the strands of wire.
1t is used near one end of the table.
the notch is brought down over the
wire at the proper distance from the
end. and the wire revolved between
tine fingers so that the insulation is
cut all round. The wire is then pulled
out. still keeping the knife pressed
down on the table.
This strips the insulation from thu
wire and leaves the end bare. ready to
twist. The whole operation is done in
a fraction of the time it takes to de-
scribe it. and anyone VINO has skinned
the ends of number of lengths of
wire by the ordinary method will ap.
preciate the time saved by this simple
tool.

Making Over Set to Take
UX112 Means Only
Change in Batteries.

The superior quality Of reception
obtainable with loud volume by the
substitution Of Tx 112 and UX 100
tubes for wv 201-A and Nv 100 tubes,
respectively, in the last stage of audio-
frequency application, makes their
installation of interest TO every owner
of a receiver having two or more
stages OF audio-frequency amplifica-
ton. Several important changes must
be made in the wiring of the receiving
set to adapt the circuits and power
supply TO the needs of the new tubes.
INSTALLING THE Tx 112.
The UX 112 is the big brother of
the wv 201-A tube. The filament
current consumption Of the new tube
is half an ampere, only double that
of the economical Nv 201-A. To Sc
cure satisfactory results the Tx 112
tube, 135 volts of plate potential are
required. Furthermore, unless the
volt &C" battery is used in connec-
ton with it. the Ux 112 is a heavy
user of "B" battery current and dis
torts considerably. By the addition
of the &C" battery, however, a large
size B" battery can power this tube
for a year or more.
USE EXTRA BATTERY.
The method of connecting an extra
45-volt B" battery is as follows
W Examine the socket which holds
the tube used in the final stage of am
r.lffaaoNsl--
minal, usually marked @P." (2) Dis
connect the wire attached to this ter
minal. go Connect the positive ter.
minal Of the new extra 45-yolt "B"
battery to the plate socket terminal.
"a Connect the negative terminal of
the new "B" battery with the wire
which you have just disconnected from
the plate socket terminal. This gives
a total voltage of 135 volts on the
Tx 112 tube.

EXTRA &C" BATTERY.

A somewhat similar method is DUR
sued in adding the extra 41-2 volt
U battery. The new "C' battery is
connected in series with the one al.

IONS OF the latter with the first stage
OF amphfication are not disturbed. The

I'D Trace the grid circuit of the
last ampliifer stage. running from the
grid socket terminal marked sc" TO
the secondary Of the transformer, then
through the windings TO the other sec
ondary terminal Of the transformer :.
the wire from there runs to the 4 -
volt terminal Of the old &c" battery.
% Disconnect this wire at the sec
ondary of the transformer. (3) Con-
meet a new lead from the secondary
to the 4 IL volt terminal Of the new
&c" battery. a. Connect the plus Of
the new "C' battery with the 41-2
terminal Of the old. This now being
in series with the old "C' battery
gives a total Of 9 volts negative bias
on the grid Of the last amplifier stage.
For dry cell tube sets using Nv 1919
tubes. the new Tx 120 is used in the
last stage This also requires 13J volts
plate potential obtainable from a large
size "B" battery Of the No. To type.
The same instructions for connecting
the extra A. volt "B" battery for the

RULES TO CHECK sQUEALING

Stop squealing in the radio-fre-
quency set by:
1. Moving the coil closer to the end
plates of the variable condenser.
2. Cutting down the number OF
turns on the coil primary.
3. Adjusting the grid bias with a
potentiometer.
q. Inserting a critical resistance,
such as rheostat, in series with the
grid of the radio-frequency tube.
