Mystery of Radio

Not Understood.

There is still plenty Of mystery IN
radio. What do we know about the

for controlling mobile bodies and the
transmission of light. heat and power
may be possible But, excepting the
controlling OF mobile bodies, few ex-

In these special problems. Short

Some remarkable. discoveries have
quite recently been made by DR.. Henry

N. HEIoHTENs HOPE

Territory to Traverse Largest single
District In Entire Northwest
Without Railroad

People OF the whole state OF Mon

in the district between Richey and

the announcement that the Northern
Pacific and the Great Northern rail
roads are laying plans to immediately
construct steam lines 10 the Circle

two points. a distance OF approximate
" 200 miles. and from Miles City 10
the Great Northern main line, about
125 miles, comprising an area OF more
than %, 1000 square miles Of territory,
is the largest single region in the
northwest which Is still without ade-
Quate transportation facilities.
Activities by the big lines has
brought renewed hope to the minds OF
the people throughout the entire dis
trict that a railroad from Richey to
Lewistown may not be an idle dream.
The Northern Pacific extension as
announced by President Donnelly
will run northward from Glendive to
Brockway and Circle. This branch
and the proposed new line in the Bit
ter Root from Florence through Stew
ensvine win cost about $4,O0O.00O.
The Great Northern will build from
Richey to Circle, a distance OF 80
miles. at a cost Of 100000.
The announcements by officials OF
the two roads OF their intention to
build in eastern Montana followed the
sale OF the Milwaukee at Butte. These
announcements also brought out the
information that the 500 and the Mil
waukee had surveying parties in the |
same portions OF the state.

Greater Volume, Tone IL.
Wonderfully Improved

Circuits have been modified to per-
NIT the use of sensitive detector and
powerful amplifer tubes brought out
In the last year. thereby giving The
receivers greater volume and a de-
clded tone improvement.
The most efficient power amplIfier
tubes so far released. such as the
UX-171 and CX-S71. are so designed
that their greatest sensitivity Is at
tained when applying around 1870 volts
on the plate and using 40 volts Of &c"
battery.
This has brought about the neces-
slty for ample current supply. When
using over 200 volts OF "Br battery,
the space requirements and mainte-
nance costs increase to burdensome
amounts The new power tube alone
requires current Of 20 mllleamperes.
which, when combined with the drain
from the other tubes. lowers the VOLT

where distortion in reception occurs.

Great strides have been made In
utilizing the one Inexhaustible sup

Is accomplished by stepping up the

Audio Ampli6cation
Intensely Developed

The modern audiO simplifying sys-
tenn is one. branch OF the radio set
which has been under intense devei-
opment. There are three major audlo
systems In use today. These are
transformer. resistance and impedance
amplliiers. Which Is the best is a
matter of conjecture, and engineers
will never agree In this matter.
However, audio reproduction is a
matter of taste. and the type Of am
plifier that one likes best is judged
purely by ear. 1t is good practice
to hear the various ampIltiers before
building one.
AT one time II was generally accept
ed that the resistance amplifier was
superior to all other forms, but trans
former engineers got busy and the re-
suit is that a large majority of ex-
perts prefer the modern transformer
system. The new transformers do not
have the limitations OF the old. Most
OF the new transformers reproduce
over the entire scale without favoring
any particular band. The capacity
has been kept at a minimum. and the
transformer iron which is used today
does not saturate as did previous ma
terfal.

II would pay him to equip or have the
set equipped with modern transform
ers or other audlo systems. He viii

production.
Improved design OF audIo frequency
ampllfiers has also brought forward
high-voltage amplifiers which are COM

an amplitier furthers the Improvement
In audio quality for preventing over
loading OF the power tube. The power
amplifier usually consists OF one stage

er for increasing the voltage of the

smooth out the plate voltage.-St.

The feed supply situation in dis
tricts OF Montana where winter feed
ing Is done, excepting the hay feed
ing section OF the Big Hole basin, is
favorable for some Increase in feed
Ing OF cattle. sheep and lambs over
that OF last season. according TO a
summary OF the situation issued by
the state department Of agriculture
at Helena
In the feet factory areas OF Billings,
Sidney and Chinook. supplies Of pulp
will total larger than last year, as
will also grain feeds except corn, with
apparently about the same supplies OF
hay and roughage as a year ago, al
though hay is priced about 81 per ton
higher, due TO a somewhat shorter
state crop than last year.
Prices OF feeding cattle have ranged
about the same level as a year ago,
although the recent tendency has
been to strengthen. while sheep and
lambs going on feed have been Sc
cured at lower prices than q year ago
with the recent tendency OF further
weakening OF prices, especially In the
case of old sheep.
From present indications there will
be some increase In numbers fed In
the factory areas OF Chinook and Sid

applied to many practical uses besides
ordinary communication. II Is used to
operate relays which throw switches
In power houses at considerable dis
tances from the main plant; It is used
in several ways to aid naylgators Of
the sea and afr. and is now being
adapted to railroads as a means OF
control and as a safety device. II is
also found of great benefit in trans
hitting time signals practically
throughout the world. which enables
scientists and explorers to establish
accurately points on the surface Of
the earth. Its use in peace is general,
and its use in war includes many APP
plicattOns besides for communication,
which the military and naval authOri-
ties will not reveal or discuss
Although many practical uses have
been found for RADIO. there are many
which only the far-sighted
scientists can predict and only the
