There Is but one real type of circuit
which may be called universal, and
that Is the combination of one stage of
tuned, neutralized, radio frequency am
plification, regenerative detector, and
some kind of audio-frequency amplifier
which will produce good quality"
writes Arthur III. Lynch, editor of
Radio Broadcast.
"a circuit which would perform sat
lsfactorily in city and country, on dry
cells or with a storage battery, without
wasting B batteries; which would
give more than ordinarily good quality
Of reproduction on loud speaker, over
comparatively long distances; which
was easy to build and easy to oper-
ate after 1t was built and, last but not
least, circuit for which parts could
be procured in any town of any size in
any part of the world; that was
our notion of what the UNIVERSAL
should be.
What tho Diagram Shows.
"From a study of the schematic dia-
gram it will be seen that there are
two coil assemblies; one, primary
and secondary in the antenna cir
cult Gil and L2, the latter tuned by
the variable condenser C1); the other
a tuned radio-frequency transformer
of the auto-transformer type and a
ticker coil. the latter being fixed in
position, but adjusted electrically by
means of the 500-to-50,00O- resist
nnce, RS, shunted across it. These
coils are Indicated in the diagram by
L3 and Ia. BY properly using the wir-
ing already provided on rhe General
Radio company's coils, No. 27TD, both
these coil units are instantly provided
No changes whatever need be made as
the coils are of splenoid type with two
windings on single form. Two such
forms are necessary. On each form
there is a small and a large winding.
The small ones are used for Ii and Ia,
while the large ones are used for LIZ
and L3. The tap indicated on L3 Is
easily provided by picking up a turn Of
the large coil. and seraping clean. 1t
Is merely necessary to solder the prop
er wires TO ii to carry out the correct
circuit arrangement. In L3 this tap
Is made 80 turns from the grid end,
and the tap on Ii is made In the exact
center of the coil. These coils may
be used with .0OO35-mfd. variable con-
densers to cover the broadcast fire.

VERONICA

VERONICA has full rights to her
claims as holy name. 1t signi-
fies true picture" and comes from
the Latin "verus," meaning true, and
the Greek word for image. The two
terms were strangely jumbled to-
gether by the popular tongue in the
name of the crucifix at Lucca, which
was called the Veronica and was that
"Holy Face of Lucca" by which oaths
were taken.
Another Veronica is the same coun-
tenance upon a piece Of linen at st.
Peters. The origin being forgotten,
this is called st. veronica's handker-
chief, and the popular legend is that
a woman who had lent her handker-
chief to our Blessed Savior to wipe
His face during the passage Of the
"Via Dolorosa" had found the likeness
imprinted on 1t. In a poem on the
life Of Plate. we are told that the
suffering emperor Of Rome, learning
that woman at Jerusalem named
"Veronike" possessed this handker-
chief which had the power to heal
the sick, sent for her and was cured.
In this way, Veronica became a
saint, though there was real Saint
Veronica who lived near Milan in the
Fifteenth century. The French love
the name and call it Veronique. The
Scotch, who have an exquisite blue
flower known as Veronica, have given
the name national popularity.
Jade is Veronica's talismanic gem.
1t will bring her good health and long
life. Thursday is her lucky day and

People who work for the oil industry

They run down to Miami whenever
there Is blizzard, or up to Montreal
when 1t is hot; they go to Arizona
when they have wet spell, or out In

that prowled about Pleasant Valley
after dark. Mr.. Nighthawk was one
of that crew of nightly wanderers.
And whenever the word was passed
around that he had been seen In the
neighborhood, Riddle Katydid tried
to lower his solemn chant, because he
knew that Mr.. Nighthawk was usually
in search OF something to eat
Now, when Kiddie Katydid felt
hungry he drove away his gnawing
pangs by browsing upon leaves and
tender twigs. But Mr.. Nighthawk
had no taste for such fodder.
He had an appetite for insects. And
between dusk and dawn good many
Of Kiddie Katydid's neighbors of one
kind or another found their way into
Mr.. Nighthawk's tummy.
So you see 1t was no wonder that
Riddle was not eager to attract the
attention of that night rover. Some
of the more timid of Riddles COM
panions even begged him, at times,
to hush. They said he was making
such a noise that Mr.. Nighthawk
would be sure to hear it, even If he
were a quarter of mile away.
But Kiddie Katydid usually laughed
at those faint-hearted ones; and often
he shrilled his Katy did, Katy did,
more loudly than before, just to
show them that he was not afraid.
"a person has to take a few
chances" he remarked one day. "If
we were all afraid to make a sound
it would pretty hard on Katy, for
then she would have nobody to take
her part. And what would people
think of herT
Evidently Riddles reason was a
good one, because a number of his
cousins spoke up at once and said
that they agreed with him perfectly.
But their sisters all exclaimed that
sooner or later Mr.. Nighthawk would
hear them; and then there would GER
tainly be trouble.
Strangely enough, the words were
scarcely out of their mouths before
they heard a loud call that struck
them cold with fear.
Peent Peent! The cry came out
of the air above them without the
least warning. And everybody-in-
GLIDING Kiddie Katydid-knew that
Mr.. Nighthawk had come.

Effectiveness of the set unchanged.
But there again, today, such a loop
receiver isn't much on reception, for
distance especially.
The problem is to get something
like the loop for an aerial, the efi-
cheney of which will be as high at
least as the modern outside antenna.
That isn't so difficult as it may
sound. There are many receivers to-
day that can be hooked on to the
batteries and, without aerial or
ground, get local as loud as could
be desired.
Why not receivers that could do
this for distance ?-Detroit News.

never touched upon that subject.
Furthermore, in the daytime Kid
die and his fellows were as quiet as
they could be. Having walked the
echoes all night long, they were con-
tent when morning came, to rest
silently among the trees and shrubs
And very good reason did they have,
too, for such habit. During the day
there were altogether too many birds
flying about, to please the. Katydids.
And Riddle often remarked In a jok-
ing way that the only birds he cared
about were those that didn't care
about him!
OF course, there were a few birds

To Eliminate Howling

Howling in a set can probably be
overcome by separating the plate and
grid leads, and running them at right
angles. If this fails to stop the noise,
shield the back of the panel by cover
ing it with thin sheet of tinfoil and
connecting the foil to the ground. Care
should be taken, however, to see that
no metal part of the Instrument
touches the grounded foil.

u)HO SAID
"No Violent Extreme
Endures"?

THOMAS CARLYLE, author of this
= succinct axiom, was the son of
mason and farmer. He was born In
Ecclefechan, Dumfriesshire, Scotland,
December 4, 1895, and although his
parents intended him for a ministerial
career, his propensity to authorship
at an early age convinced the young
man at least that he was more fitted
for the pursuit of literature.
Although his first literary attempts
were published in the Edinburgh EN-
cyclopedia," his career may be said
to have begun in the London Maya
zine" in 1923, when portions of his
Life of Schiller" appeared. This
work in later years was treated sep
arately, and appeared in special form
in 1S25-Carlyle's first success of note
in the literary field.
Few authors have had their works
studied so minutely as Carlyle. and
his ease and fluency In writing have
been seized upon by many as exam
pies of the sort of literature which
always will endure.
MUCH time was spent on MS HIS
tory of Friedrich the II of Prussia"
called Frederick the Great" and this
production of his pen also was the
largest the eminent author turned out.
The last two volumes appeared In
1865, and although he continued to
some extent In his field, this work In
reality marked the end of a successful
career.
While In Scotland Carlyle received
word of the death in London of his
wife, accounting for much of his later
seclusion. In his later life he was
offered government pension and a
baronetcy, both of which he declined.
He died at Chelsea, February 5, 1881.
