HOUSE PASSES
COOP MEASURE
Measure Creating Federal Agen-
cy Approved by 357 to 3
Vote-$225, 900 Voted.

Washington-The house passed and
sent to the senate the first piece of
agricultural legislation acted on at the
present session of congress-the Hau-
gen bill, to establish a cooperative
marketing division in the department
Of agriculture. The measure was
passed by vote of 357 to 8. The bill
carries an appropriation of $225,O0G
for the first years work of the new
division to be charged with aiding CO.
operative organizations in marketing
crops and with disseminating informa-
ton among the farmers. Sponsored
by the administration, the plan was
put forth not as direct farm relief, but
as program requiring time to devel-
op, calculated to benefit many phases
of agriculture. Immediately after dis
posing of this measure the house took
up the annual appropriation bill for
the agriculture department.

Weeks Made Defendant in Suit

Washington-A suit against John
W. Weeks, former secretary of war,
for s1,102,000 alleged to be involved
in claims settled in 1921 in connec-
ton with the purchase by the United
States of Austrian ships, was filed
here by Charles B. Brewer, former de-

who figured prominently in the inves-
tigation of bond duplication in the
bureau of engraving and printing sew
eral years ago, declared in his suit
that the claim, approved by Mr.. Weeks
when he was secretary Of war, was
false and, on behalf of the United
States and himself individually, asked
recovery of the amount allowed. The
claim, he alleged was for $550,000 and
was awarded George A. Garden and
Anderson Herd.

House Passes Navy Bill

Washington-The house passed the
annual navy department appropria-
ton bill after eliminating one and
modifying another Of its sections
dealing with new aircraft construc-
ton, and the naval committee imme-
diately took steps to draft building
program for the navy. The bill car
ries approximately s30S,000,000 of
appropriations. The section eliminat-
ed recommended expenditure of So
100000 for new aircraft during the
next fiscal year. The other section,
to make 100000 available immedi-
ately for the navy to contract for an
all-metal dirigible with the Aircraft
Development corporation, backed by
Ford interests, was modified to with
hold the proposed appropriation for
six months.

Station Interference
and Radio Reception

The greatest obstacle to perfect
radio reception is broadcasting sta
ton interference, according to an
analysis recently made public by the
bureau of standards The second
greatest obstacle is atmospheric In
reference, fading is third and other
types of interference fourth.
The analysis Of the bureau was of
the results of a series of observa-
lions covering period of one year
from August, 1922, to July, 1923. Co
operating with the bureau in the
tests were 100 voluntary observers
who made approximately $500 OBJ
servations on the signals of KDKA,
East Pittsburgh.
The analysis showed the follow
ing relative magnitude of obstacles
to reception: No obstacles, 324 per
cent; other broadcasting stations, 25.7
per cent; atmospherics, 1871 per cent;
fading, 12.2 per cent. and other OBJ
stacles, IA per cent.

BY EDGAR n. FELIX
In PHILADELPHIA Record.

The superior quality of reception
obtainable with loud volume by the
substitution of UX 112 and Tx 100
tubes for Nv 201-A and wv 1919 tubes,
respectively, in the last stage of
audio-frequency application, makes
their installation of interest to every
owner of receiver having two or
more stages of dio-frequency ampli-
flcation. 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.
The UX 112 is the big brother of
the wv 201-A tube. The filament cur
rent consumption of the new tubes is
half an ampere, only double that of
the economical wv COLA. To secure
satisfactory results with the UX 112
tube, 135 volts of plate potential are
required, as compared with 80 volts
usually used with the Nv 201-A. Fur
thermore, unless the 9 volt &C" bat
terry is used In connection with 1t,
the UX 112 Is heavy user of "B"
battery current and distorts consider
ably. BY the addition of the "C'
battery, however, large size "B"
battery can power this tube for
year or more. 1t is not necessary to
use an extra large or heavy duty size
'B" battery for furnishing the extra
45 volts required by this tube.
The method of connecting an extra
As volt "B" battery Is as follows: ~
Examine the socket which holds the
tube used in the final stage of ampli-
fication and identify the plate termi-
nal, usually marked "P" (2) Discon-
meet the wire attached to this termi-
nal. (3) Connect the positive termi-
nal of the new extra 40 volt 'B" bat
terry to the plate socket terminal. az
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 UX
112 tube, but it does not increase the
plate voltage of the Nv 201-A tube
in the first stage Of audio-frequency
application.
Adding the Extra &c" Battery.
A somewhat similar method is pur-
sued In adding the extra Az volt &C"
battery. The new &c" battery is con-
nected in series with the one already
installed; the existing connections of
the latter with the first stage of ampli-
fication are not disturbed. The sec
ondary of the second audio-frequency
transformer. however, is disconnected
from the AZ volt terminal of the
original &C. battery, a new lead be-
ing run from that secondary terminal
to % volt terminal of the new "C''
battery.
For dry cell tube sets using Nv 1919
tubes, the new Tx 12O is used in the
last stage. This also requires 1876
volts plate potential obtainable from
large size "B" battery. The same
instructions for connecting the extra
45 volt "B" battery fer the Tx 112
apply to the UX 12O.
The UX 120 requires 221s volt
&C" battery. Substitute for your pres
ent CO. battery 221a volt tapped
f"B' battery made up of large size
cells. This assures you Of long shelf
life. There is practically no. current
withdrawn from the "C'' battery, and

consequently, it's usefulness Is deter.
mined by it's shelf life.
A &c" battery is connected in the
reverse direction as compared with a
"B" battery. The "B" battery is
connected with the plus to the plate
and the minus toward the filament

is connected with the negative termi-

The wv 1919 tube used In the first
stage of application should have
Az volt negative bias, but does not
work with a 221a volt bias. Three
cells give the required Az volts.
Securing 4Ia Volts for First 5tage.
The novice may be confused by the
markings on the battery when he is
directed to connect the grid return
of the first amplifier tube with the
lis terminal of the "C'' battery in
order to obtain Az volts negative
bias. AS compared with +22k, how
ever, 10 volts is Az volts less or
negative. Consequently, to secure
grid bias of Az volts, we connect the
grid return to the Is volt tap Of the
22h volt battery. The 81 volt tap is
1b volts negative, as compared with
>+221a; the 1914 volt tap, volts
negative, and the IS volt tap, AZ
volts negative. If you now have no
co. battery in the first stage, simply
disregard this part Of the process.
The grid return from the secondary
of the second stage transformer Is
connected with the negative terminal
of the 221a volt battery. This gives
221a volts negative bias, the amount
required by the UX 100. The method
of identifying this terminal has al
ready been described in connection
with the instructions for installing the
Az volt "C'' battery for the UX 112.
