TUNED MULTIPLICATION
SOMEWHAT OF MYSTERY
Superheterodyne Gets Around Diff
fculty by Creating It's Own
Local Beat.

There appears to be some mystery
about the use of tuned radio ampli.

broad hints that progress is restricted
through patent rights. One thing,
however, 10 certain, there is too much
audio amplification and not enough
radio frequency application.
If set has one stage of radio fire.
quency amplification, nothing on the
audio side Of the detector circuit will
serve to compensate for the short
comings of the wave intercepting and
radio frequency simplifying character
istics. If the detector does not reveal
a distant signal as having been caught
by the antenna, tuner and ground,
and amplified in the stages of radio
frequency, 10 audio tubes can be added
to the set without results. 1t Is i'm.
possible to amplify something that
doesn't exist.
The superheterodyne gets around
this difficulty because 1t creates a
local beat of it's own which in hetero-
dyning against the faint beat note Of
the signal itself increases to such an
intensity that it can be amplifled
through intermediary stages in a
highly efficient manner.

What Is the difference between O.
rheostat and a potentiometer? They
look alike. AS a matter of fact, their
operation Is virtually identical. They
are simply varying resistances, and
high resistances at that. Yet they are
different. The answer seems to be
that they differ chiefly in their uses.
A potentiometer serves as a means Of
providing a varying potential on the
grid, whereas the rheostat serves ms n
means of providing a varying poten.
tial on the filament Of a tube.

AS result of the increasing popu-

more and more necessary to guard
against shock. The use of double pole

some advisers on radio matters, but it
is condemned on grounds that this

use the conventional plug and socket

$4,000 DRAFT IS SENT
TO PAY 1O-YEAR DEBT
San Diego Attorney Receives Sum
to Liquidate Alleged Embezzle-
ment by Lawyer.

BY the Associated Press.
SAN DIEGO. Cal, December 30.-
A draft for $40, 900, representing funds
alleged to have been embezzled 10
years ago by Lester WEIGH, then a
brilliant, young San Diego attorney
and politician, was received here by
James O'Keefe, a lawyer.
The money was forwarded by
WEIGH through friend in an Eastern
city, with a message asking that his
victims be reimbursed, with interest
from March, 1916.
WEIGH disappeared in 1916 with $50.
900 that had been intrusted to him by
five clients. He later was traced to
Central America, where it is believed
his wife and young son have Joined
him since.
O'Keefe indicated that he would
ask that the embezzlement charges be
dismissed. He refused to name the
friend who transmitted the draft for
WEIGH.

Long Cord Uses Power.

Although the set owner can scarcely
detect 1t, the long extension for the
speaker cord uses more B power. This
Is particularly noticeable where bat
teries are starting to give out, for the
decrease in voltage is then more pro
nounced with the ordinary speaker
and particularly so with
the extension. For extension use the
set should be equipped with a 3 stor
age battery or a E eiiminator.

After a recent dinner one person
came to a few conclusions. They
may be significant. At any rate, here
they are:
Artists do not record as well when
singing before both real audience and
mike" because frequently, and nee
essarily. they sing more to the audi
ence than to the mike" But they
sing with more enthusiasm.
Orchestras make far better accom-
paniments than pianos.
Concert pianos sound like banjos. to
many listeners. particularly those with
moor sets.

Care in Connecting Leads.

Radio fans who like to hook up their
loud speakers in tandem or change
the plugs and make other alterations
should keep in mind that it makes
difference with many speakers which
way the leads are connected. If the
current is reversed the speaker sounds
like a toy, whereas in the correct di'
rection it performs normally.

RADIO BATTERIES LISTED.
Confusion Over Nomenclature Held
to Be Unnecessary.

No need to get confused over the
popular nomenclature for radio bat.
teries. Just think Of them as follows:
"Filament battery"
plate battery
Blasting battery"
The first one supplies a quantity Of
low-voltage current and is usually a
storage battery. The second supplies
the high voltage necessary for the
plate current and usually comes in the
form of heavy-duty dry cells. The
third simply supplies a little voltage
for a negative bias on the grid and Is
usually a small dry cell.
