When the Tubes May Be

Under such perplexlng cIrcum-
stances did you ever give the tubes a
thought Tubes do not last Indefinite

filaments ultimately results In poor re-

those tiny particles which give the
tube its 'life"-eyentually disappears
When the coating. vanIshes the radio
set loses its sensltivIty and volume
and may become very noisy. 1t is
then time to buy new tubes.

GETTING READY FOR
PARIS CONVENTION

Though II Is more than year be-
fore the 10000 American veterans be-
gin swarming into Paris for the ninth
annual national convention of the
American Legion, members of the
Paris post of the Legion. known as
Post No. /, are already actively en-
gagged IN preparing what promises to
be one Of the greatest receptions ever
given convention Under the lAad-
ership OF Hugh A. Bayne, commander
OF the Department OF France in the
American Legion, an intensive cam
palgn Is now In progress among Lee
gionnaires In Paris to double the mem
bership Of the French department In
order that there may be as large a
number OF men as possible available
for service when the Second A. e. F."
lines up for the big parade down the
Champs Elysees In September. 1927.
According. to reports received by
Bowman Elder of Indianapolis, ma
tional chairman OF the Legion's France
convention committee, Commander
Bayne anticipates having the largest
American reception committee ever
known In France ready for the Paris
convention. II is the plan Of the
France department OF the Legion to
make every member OF the department
an active member OF the reception
committee. The Department OF France.

Your Grid Leak and
It's Important Duty

The action Of the grid leak seems
to be little understood by the aver
age fan. Great care may have been
taken in wiring up the set and In
buying the best OF parts. Yet when
the receiver IL put into operation the
results secured are very poor. Very
often the whole trouble lies in the
grid leak, which may not be OF the
correct value or may be noisy In OPP
GRAFTON.
To make the action Of the grid leak
clear we will compare Il to the carbu-
rotor on an automobile The carbu-
rotor vaporfzes or breaks mp the gaso-
line, then mixes IT with a certain pro-
portion Of air to form an explosive
mixture. The supply of air taken into
the carburetOr is regulated by choke
valve The carburetor Of ARABIC re-
ceiver is the detector tube and the
choke valve Is the grid leak.
II the choke valve on the carburetor
is closed too much. II does not allow
enough air to enter and makes the
mixture rich with the result that the
motor ch0kes up or may stop alto
get4fer. II tife grid leak is Of such a
value that 1t allows too high mega
tive charge TO accountants on the grid
the tube chokes or paralyzes and the
set will not operate or operates very
poorly. This Is the same effect as
when the choke valve on the carbu-
rotor Is closed too far and does not
allow enough air 10 enter.
II. on the other hand, the grid leak
Is Of such value that the negative
charge on the grid leaks on too rapid
Iy the receiver loses It's sensltivity.
You can readily see, therefore, that II
Is important that the size OF the grid
leak be correct so that the amount OF |
energy the grid can handle Is always
Just right. Use a good-quality grid
leak. Secure three or four different
sizes and try them out until you find
one that gives the best results. Do
not try to save money by buying a
cheap grid leak or one made by an
unknown manufacturer. for very often
a poor grid leak is the unsupported
cause OF poor or noisy reception

THAT LITERACY QUESTION

There doubt in any American citizens mind that not able to read and write and in not understanding the English language should not be allowed to nulfy that carefully considered vote of American citizen who has read and studied the issues be- fore the people.
 We have known iterate voters to be given careful y marked sample ballot to take in the booth with them for guidance with no idea of what for whom they were vo ing for.
 But why select Alaska's lliterate? Why not gen. eral law? We cannot see any justice or patriotism on the part of Congress to specify Alaska and soop to Ter rtorial politics parallel to the Jones Shipping Act.
