any office may plug in pair Of

use Of loud speakers would be obiec-

provide radio entertainment, but is
based upon the fact that radio will
be utilized more and more to cover
news events in the Nations Capital,
where practically everything of i'm
portance is broadcast. Thus it is seen
that busy correspondent might stay
at his desk in his Office and yet cover
a speech which his paper desired re-

The FiIalnent Control Jack.

The FiIainent Control Jack.
The tendency nowadays in the de-
sian Of radio receivers is toward the
elimination of as many needless oon-
trolls as possible. 1t has become
general practice therefore to nave
grouu control of two or more tubes
in a receiver, the control belns an
adjustable one such as rheostat OF
an automatic control of the Amperhe
type. rvxy ,an
In bygone days when the uVr2oU
and UV-201 types of tubes were the
only ones to be had, the high current
consumption of one ampere per tuDe,
made 1t necessary TO economics on
current wherever possible.
In many cases. the loud speaker
was operated on the first audi0 stage
when great volume was not desired.
In such cases if the last audio tube
was left burning, the current drawn
not only from the "A" battery by the
burning f1iament but also from the
"B. battery was an item of no mean
proportion III was held desirable
therefore to turn off the last tube
when it was not in use.
The usual method was to use an
extra rheostat giving independent con-
troll of the last tube by means OF
which the tube could be turned on by
setting the rheostat on the of posi-
tion.
Grouping Of Audio Tubes.
The first step taken to reduce the
number of controls in radio receivers
was to put both audio tubes on a
single rheostat. While this effected q

other was. TO insert switch in the
filament lead of the second tube so
that the tube could be turned on or

pied by battery switch was not as
much as. the space required by an
other rheostat and the control element
was simplif1ed because the one rheo-
stat could still be used to control both
tubes. A battery switch was also LESS
expensive than an extra rheostat.

Captain Smith Joins ThrOng in Raid

Captain F. c. Smith drew up
by my front gate just before
supper time Sunday, dismounted
from his car, and presented me
with a basket of luscious peach
es. He had got them down at
Candor. in Moore county.
Never saw such a sight in
my life he said. Hundreds
of cars parked beside the road,
and the people scattered through
the orchard picking all the
peaches they wanted. The man
who owned the orchard told
them just to help themselves.
There were ten acres of trees
loaded with fine fruit"
Never before has this region
known such year for peaches.
The smooth road from here to
the south puts the peach coun-
try within about three hours
easy riding from Chapel Hill:
and there is so much more fruit
than the growers can sell that
some Of them are giving it away
rather than seen it wasted. One
Orchardist at CandOr announced
in the newspapers that on GER
tain days Of the week people
might come and pick all the
peaches they wanted.

The south building, the inside
of which has been made over,
will be ready for occupancy when
the fall term opens next month.
The painters, the floor and mar

are free to go in and look around.
OF particular interest is the
Presidents office, at the north
east corner of the first floor, with
its chaste white paneling and its
open fireplace. At this same
end of the building, on the south,
are the registrars quarters. The
west end of the first floor will

the business manager, who also
has additional space in the base
ment. The extension division
will be installed upstairs.
Old-tlmers, as they go through
the campus along Cameron ave
nue., will see in the South no
changes to displease them. On
the outside it is the same old
building. The vines had to be
torn away, during the recon-

An amusing phase of the Incl
dent is that the headline over
Mr.. Clark's piece was: "The
Omissions Interest. He wrote: !:
There are so many stories in
which the most interesting de-
tails are omitted" and he pro-
ceeded to ask: "How did the %
gallons of hoochinno get into the
preachers car. Also, why the
detour by Asheville in going
from Charlotte to Chapel Hill?
Was the preacher tempted to OBJ
tain easy money by the boot
Logging route to meet the cost
of a hospital bill? Did an enc
my put the hooch in the carr"
Unconsciously, by emitting the
name of the preacher, Mr.. Clark
gave the tale genuine spice for
Chapel Hill. AS far as this COM
munity is concerned he was dead
right when he wrote that head
1ine, THE Omissions Interest" "
This recalls passages in Mr..
Clark's column year or more
ago, when he paid his compli-
ments to some gay-spirited alum
nj for bringing drink into Chap
el Hill. Which suggests that the
culprit in the Asheville episode
neglected an opportunity for an
excellent aIibi. The preacher
might have said: "Those wick
ed alumni put the stuff in my
car"
