Good Rheostats Are Necessary
for Best Radio Reception


The rheostat is an important piece
of radio apparatus. It opposes the
Cow of electricity to the filaments
of the tubes while the set is in opera
ton. Without a rheostat, the flaments
would soon be damaged beyond re-
pair, because too much current would
pass through and cause the thin thor
ium coating to disintegrate and fake
off. This commonly occurs when
rheostats are turned too far, and is
the principal reason for tubes going
dead.
In opposing the flow of current, the
wire becomes warm, even hot if the
tubes require considerable current. As
the temperature rises, it causes the
wire to expand. If the wire becomes
hot enough to char the insulation on
which it is wound, it becomes loose,
adjacent coils touch each other, and
the rheostat loses its smooth opera
tion.
See that the wiping arm makes
good contact on the resistance at all
times. When turned to the extreme
left, the wiper arm should leave the
wire and ccme to rest on the insu-
lated strip, breaking the circuit. Al
ways select the proper type of rheo-
stat for the kind of tube used and dc
not attempt to put too many tubes
on one rheostat. When buying a rheo-
stat, select one that is simple and
compact. See that the winding j:
not defective, and that no part il
missing. Many of the newer types
are of the one-hole mounting variety
requiring only one hole in the panel

A Farm Ice House That Saves
Ice and Work

In the ordinary farm ice house, the
ice must be covered with straw or
sawdust to insulate it against heat.
However, this protective covering
must be molested every day or two
during summer when ice is taken out,
to say nothing of the work of carry
ing the ice to the kitchen and the
usual ice-box troubles. These obiec-

Humanity Is Sum Total of Heredity and

by the sheer force of will and in
telligence reach paradise and
peace and happiness by the aid
of good environment, which can
be nodded and manufactured for
the price of an effort toward bet
ter and higher things in life.
II am interested in environment
because it is an ever present and
living thing in every humans ex-
istence, for better or for worse,
and it is the business of everyone
to help and assist some other per-
son laboring under the clouds and
mist of tragic environment back
to that beautiful and broad road
that leads to rear life and service
and things worth while. When
that day comes we can call our
selves Christians and not before
that day. And so we are the sum
total and cannot be classified"
Whether regular subscribers or
not, all readers of The Times are

"EREDITY and environment
II both have a chance of play
ing equal parts in the develop
ment of the elements which make
for life, according to Davis r.
Smith, 410 Fifth st. N. W., who
is the recipient OF today's award
of one copy OF Harold Wright's
novel, "a Son Of His Father"
Mr.. Smith thinks 1t a high
piece of impeltinence for any of
us to try to classify the other
as being the result Of either he
redity or environment alone. He
believes both elements may be so
developed or neglected as to
be equally responsible for fame
or failure But OF the two Mr..
Smith feels that environment is
a bit the stronger. His letter:
1.-THE more think about hered-
ity and environment the more it
seems to me to be the height OF
folly and a piece Of impertinence
for any human to attempt to
classify. arbitrarily, any human
being as being the result of either
heredity or environment.
Humanity is the sum total OF
both heredity and environment,
having no control over heredity,
be 1t good or bad, but having
tremendous power and direction
over environment.
However, when one contrasts
heredity with environment there
is poor comparison, and If were
compelled TOM rrow to elect
which one of the two l would
take, there being a choice,
would choose good environment
without a shadow of a doubt.
