socket, ana to the other a wire from
the B plus post, which is Immediately
adjacent. The A plus and B minus
posts, 1t viii be noted, are joined to-
gether.
All the wiring should be done with
standard round or square timed bus
bar. The wire need be insulated with
cambria tubing only in places where
two wires unavoidably pass each
other very closely; very little cover
ing will be found necessary. The
connections to the transformer, the
tube sockets and the binding posts,
which are all equipped with strong
screw binding posts, need not be
soldered, but those to the fixed con-
densers and the resistor mountings
must be.
The B battery should be Of 1875
volts, which is the standard require
ment for resistance amplifers. With
this voltage the 100000 ohm resistors
should be employed in the plate cir
cults Of the first two tubes, while the
100000 ohm leak goes between the
first and second bulbs and the 250,O00
ohm resistance between the second
and third in the grid leak positions.
This is clearly shown In the wiring
diagram.

The secondary of this coupler. how
ever, is connected to the ends of the
primary winding of the second cou
pier. The switch points of the second
coupler go to grid and filament like
the usual secondary connections. The
secondary terminals of the second cou-
pier are connected to the plate cir
cult
The wave-length of the primary cir
cult Is adjusted by the switch points
on the first coupler, aided by the con-
denser in the ground circuit. This
variable condenser should have a ca
pacity of .O005 MID. (23 plates). The
coupling between the primary and
secondary is adjusted by rotating the
rotor of the first variocoupler. The
secondary circuit is tuned by the
switch points on the second coupler
and the coupling between the sec
ondary circuit and the plate circuit
ticker is adjusted by the rotor of this
coupler. The secondary of the second
coupler acts as the plate ticker coil
This circuit should be very selec-
tive and give little better than the
average sets results.-Radio News.

nearby stations. You can put down
the varied results you get to the pbe-
nomenon known as fading.
There are number of causes for
fading of signals. 1t has been found
however, that the signals from sta.
lions using the higher wave-lengths
do not fade nearly so badly as those
using the low waves. On the other
hand, 1T has lately been found that
the low-wave stations can reach a
much greater distance with less power
than can the high-wave stations
which generally use high power.
Radio engineers who have been
studying the problem believe that
during the daytime an electrical
shield formed by the sunlight holds
the radio waves close to the ground
The trouble with daylight reception
is the fact that trees. houses and
other obstacles with which the waves
come In contact absorb them to
greater extent. After the. sun has set
this shield vanishes and the waves
leaving the sending station have no
shield to buck against and have moth
Ing to absorb them. and SO can reach
greater distances.

Condensed Resume Of the important
Events In The Nation and State.
THOUSANDS FLEE
IN Rhine FLOOD
Many Trapped in Homes, Fac
tories Submerged, Many
JObIess, Trains Held Up.

London-The whole of western
Europe has been involved in disas-
trous floods. In estimable havoc has
been worked in Holland, France. Bel
GUM, Germany and England. The
Rhine rose to a higher level than at
any time since the year 1854. Hol-
land and Belgium seem to be in an al
most equally pitiabse condition as a
result. The pressure of the rising
waters has burst dykes in Holland, in
volving heavy public cost for repairs
when the floods subside, in addition
to untold misery and material loss to
the Inhabitants. The sovereigns Of
both Belgium and Holland are tour
ing the devastated districts and doing
their utmost to relieve the sufferings
of the people. At Liege alone, 5000
houses are under water, and other
cities are seriously threatened.
In Holland a broken dyke cut the
railway between Venloo and Nymweg-
en-. Queen Wilhelmina toured the
Venloo district and then went to Mae
strict. The water there is nearly a
foot higher than in the terrible food
year of 1880. Altogether over ESQ.,
900 workers will be thrown out of en-
ployment for long period by the in
undationsof numerous factories and
the flooding of coal mines near Liege.

21STATES DEMAND
new OCEAN ROUTE
Delegates of Middle West Are In
formed of Need for Connec-
ton With Sea.

st. Paul-Goyernor Theodore Chris
tianson. opening the Midwest's big
gest offensive to obtain a deep water
way to the sea, sounded warning to
the east that the west will not longer
tolerate a sectional resort to subter-
fuge to defeat its ambitions.
Economic conditions in the west, the
Governor said, warrant taking a mill
tant attitude to obtain construction of
the $50,000.000 channel to the Allan
tic.
Governor Christiansons challenge
to opponents of the st. Lawrence deep
waterway project was Issued at the
opening meeting OF two day congress
Of states OF the Great Lakes-St. Law
renee Tidewater Association at a
luncheon. Representatives of 81 states
of the west, midwest and northwest
and of Canada attended.
The st. Lawrence river holds the
key to continued prosperity in the
northwest. the delegates were told.
The Panama canal marooned this sec
ton in the middle of continent, while
the rest of the nation has cheap water
transportation. 1t is only through the
tidewater project that this region can
get the relief to which it is entitled,
delegates said.
w. L. Harding, former governor of
Iowa and Governor Christensen OF
Minnesota made strong appeals for the
waterway in order to strengthen the
northwest against transportation han
dicaps.

Fading of Signals Due

any warning the signal began to get
weaker and weaker, and at last per-
hans faded out altogether. You may
have tried to retune In the attempt to.
hiring the program in again.
The fault, in most cases, is not in
the set at all, but is simply condi-
ton In the air between the transmit
ting station and your receiver that
weakens the signal. II you just leave
your dials alone and wait. short
time you will find the signal strength

Two Variocouplers Make
Circuit Very Selective

While regenerative circuit may be
readily obtained by inserting variom-
eter in the plate circuit, it is not so
simple task to obtain a ticker feed
back with ordinary apparatus on the
market unless honsycomb coils are
used. There are, of course, couplers
with fixed ticker windings. With or
binary apparatus, however, the double
coupler feed-back circuit Is easily ar
ranged, the objections to single-circuit
action are overcome, and there Is COM
plete tuning in every circuit and any
desired degree of coupling between
them.
AS commonly employed, the primary
switches of one coupler are connected
to the antenna and ground as usual.

Forbes Loses Legal Decision.

Chicago-Colonel Charles R. Fobes,
former director Of the United States
Veterans Bureau, lost his appeal from
conviction of conspiracy to defraud
the government in connection with
contracts for hospitals for disabled
soldiers. The United States Circuit
Court of Appeals affirmed the convic-
ton in the District Court. John w.
Thompson, wealthy st. Louis contrac-
tor, who was found guilty with Forbes,
appealed with Forbes and both must
go to prison unless they appeal to the
United States Supreme Court and OBJ
tain a stay of sentence to prevent
their removal to Leavenworth peniten-
tiary. Federal Judge George Carpen-
ter, before whom they were tried, sem
fenced each to prison for two years
and in addition fined them $4,000
each.

collected s7,279,8S7 and assessed them
more than $1,O00,000 in fines In
many cases where the payers did not
have the money due, warrants for dis

Allow Space Between
Units When Building

When building set safe rule to
follow is to keep each piece of ap-
paratus at least two inches or more
away from other units. The biggest
mistakes often made In the construc-
ton of home-built receivers are try
ing to cramp the instruments in small
quarters and the use of metal fixtures
for the mounting. Coils and other in
ductances in the radio-frequency cir
cult should be placed as far to the
rear and away from other pieces of
apparatus as possible.

DISPUTED EVIDENCE IS
 ADMITTED INTO TRIAL
Defense in Morse Case Thwarted in Attempt to Keep Out
 Some Data.

New York, Oct. 1s P'-Federal Judge Thacher, presiding at the Morse trial in federal court, today | ruled in favor of the government Tn admitting certain evidence presented at the Washingon trial of the de- fendants, which resulted in their ac- quittal.
 The legal skirmish, which arose when the prosecution yesterday of-
 fered the evidence from the previous
 trial resulted in the present trials
 being halted until today to give Judge Thacher time to study the points at issue. Testimony and eX- hibits at the Washington trial con- corning the financial affairs of the United States steamship companies, comprised the evidence which the defense objected to as constituting double jeopardy" for the defend- ants.
 In his ruling favoring the govern ment, Judge Thacher allowed the defense tAe privilege of objection, with permission to cross before the evidence is actually ad- mitted.
 Three sons of Charles W. Morse and II other men are defendants in the trial. charged with conspiring to use the mails to defraud in the sale Of stock of the United States Steam- ship Company and subsidiary enter | prises.
