pere hour storage A battery be suff-
cient for operating 5 tube receiver p
Ans-This size of battery will do
but it will have to be charged more
often than would battery of great
er capacity.
Q.-E. E. asks: "Is there any such
thing as direct current vacuum tube
amplifer?"
Ans.-Yes, such an amplifer is
often used with a photo-electric or a
selenium cell to amplify the power
in the circuit to volue where it will
operate relay.
On. R. S. asks: "What are bal
last tubes, and how are they used in
radio? ?"
Ans.-Ballast tubes are vacuum
tubes to maintain a constant circuit.
Tese tubes consist of a filament, the
resistance of which changes consider
ably with the temperature. When too
much current flows in the circuit, the
extra heat produced in the filament of
the ballast tube automatically raises
the resistance to point where it re-
duces the current back to it's normal
value. These tubes are often used in
B battery eliminators to protect the
receiver from fluctuations in voltage
which may occur in the house lighting
lines.

Canadian Officers Give Rules for
Operating Sets

The Radio branch of 1.-THE Depart
ment of Marine and Fisheries, of Can
ida, has been making an attempt to
reduce the amount of interference
caused by oscillating receiving sets
In survey of reception districts, it
was found that about 500 of the pre-
ventable interference was caused by
the incorrect operation Of receiving
sets. AS this seemed to be due to lack
Of knowledge on the part Of the list
eners, the officials have suggested the
following tuning rules:
l.. Practice on tuning powerful sta
tions first, and do not try to pick up
weak or distant stations until you be-
come more expert.
2. Use both hands, ,-one hand for
the regeneration control (if a regen-
erative set) and the other hand for
the tuning control.
3. Keep the regeneration control
always just below the point of oscilla-
ton; your set is then in it's most SEN
sitive condition.
4. If your set then accidentally
breaks into oscillation, turn back the
regeneration control at once.
5. Do not try to find a station by
the whistle. If your set is tuned
just below the oscillating point the
signals will come in clear and the re-
generation control may then be tuned
little further to increase the volume.
6. Do not force regeneration in an
attempt to obtain loudspeaker volume
from a set not designed for the pur-
pose.
7. Do not force regeneration in an
attempt to hear stations beyond the
range of your set; be content with
those you can really hear.

able to attend There were several
guests, among them Judge Walter L.

and membership.
Another matter of interest that came
UP for discussion was the question Of
high school athletics, their financing
and support. In connection with this
question, support OF the dance to be
given April 30 by the athletic associa-
tion was advocated.

BOLTON HILL

Quite a number attended the
church services and Sunday School
held at the school house after a two
weeks omission.
Miss Everill Plummer has accept
ed a position at the Augusta House.
Miss Lovisa Cunningham left Sat-
urday morning for Baldwinsville,
Mass, where she is enrolled for the
one-year course at the Children
Hospital.
Judson Robbins was in Augusta
Saturday night where he played for
the old fashioned dances held in
the G. A. II. hall.
Milton Plummer and Emmons
Humphrey of Augusta passed the
holiday at their respective homes.
School, which was closed for a
week, due to the absence of the
teacher, was reopened Wednesday.
Dorothy ShaclGord and Willard
Bowdon returned Tuesday to c.
Spauldings. Miss Shackford's many
friends will be pleased to hear her
father is somewhat better.
Through the generosity of Mrs.
Spaulding and d. Shackford a box
social was held Saturday evening at
the school house for the benefit of
Forrest Smart, who has been i'll for
some time. 1t is regrettable that
the bad conditions of the roads and
the fact that the date of the social
was not generally known resulted
in there being only few present.
Consequently there was a dearth of
boxes. and the proceeds only netted
three or four dollars. The evening
was pleasantly passed in playing
games.
Carrie Spaulding was an over
night guest at Eva Smart's last
week.
