The wv 1919 tube used In the first

Securing az Volts for First Stage.
The novice may be confused by the
markings on the battery when he is
directed to connect the grid return
of the first amplifier tube with the
-t18 terminal of the "C'' battery in
order to obtain Az volts negative
bias. AS compared with +221a, how
ever, 10 volts is Az volts less or
negative. Consequently, to secure a
grid bias Of AZ volts, we connect the
grid return to the IS volt tap of the
221z volt battery. The 81 volt tap is
ia volts negative, as compared with
+221a; the 1914 volt tap, volts
negative, and the IS volt tap, Az
volts negative. If you now have no
"C'' battery in the first stage, simply
disregard this part of the process.
The grid return from the secondary
of the second stage transformer is
connected with the negative terminal
Of the 223z volt battery. This gives
221k volts negative bias, the amount
required by the Tx 100 The method
Of identifying this terminal has al
ready been described in connection
with the instructions for installing the
Az volt sc" battery for the Tx 112.

PLAN TO CURB PRICE
OF OYSTER SHUCKING
District Will Allot Space in New
Building by Permit, Con-
trolling Charges.

Price regulation in the local oyster.
shucking industry will be practiced
by the District Commissioners with
the opening shortly of the free mu-
nicipal shucking shed, now in course
Of completion at the fish wharves.
Individual shuckers will be given
space in the new shed gratis, provided
they take out a permit from Supt. of
Markets George NJ. Roberts. A re.
quirement for this permit is that "a
reasonable charge" be made for shuck-
ing, and the District authorities indi-
Gated today that by this is meant
something less than so cents per
bushel." Permits will be revoked for
infraction Of this regulation.
The present charge for shucking
oysters ranges over so cents per
bushel. The shucking price went up
last year after PRONUNCIATION of Health
Officer Fowler's order that all shuck-
ing be done indoors. This put a bar
on the old open shed at the municipal
wharves and forced some of the deal
erS to get more expensive Shucking
facilities.
With the new free facilities in effect,
the public will be able to buy oysters
direct from the boats and hire a
shucker for a nominal sum, it is point
ed out The new shed will be inclosed
with tile and provided with an ample
supply of hot and cold water.

New Limit Will Not Be Allowed
Until Stop Signs Are
Installed.

A 30.mile speed limit on Sixteenth
street, between Newton street and
Alaska avenue, was approved by the
District Commissioners today on rec
ommendation Of NJ. O. Eldridge, traf-
tic director. The increased speed will
not be allowed, however, until the in
stallation of stop signs at intersecting
streets and signs designating the rate
at which motor vehicles may proceed
has been completed.
The erection of these signs is now
under way and is expected to be COM
pleted next week. 1t is the plan Of
the traffic director to put the 30-mile
limit into effect on upper Sixteenth
street when the new automatic signal
lights are turned on between Florida
avenue and Newton street. The con-
troll switches for these lights are now
being installed in No. Il fire engine
house.
The Commissioners pointed out that
a 30-mile limit does not mean a con-
tinuous speed of 80 miles an hour
between Newton street and Alaska
avenue. At dangerous points the
speed will be reduced to Is or % miles
an hour. Signs will designate any
change in the speed limit.

PLAN TO CONDEMN |
LAND FOR STREETS
Board Members Prepare for
Widening Good Hope Road
and Alabama Avenue.

Plans for the condemnation Of suf-
ficient land for the widening of Good
Hope road from Eighteenth street
to it's junction with Alabama avenue,
and for the widening of Alabama
avenue from this point to Pennsyl-
vania avenue are in course of prep.
aration, it was announced today fol-
lowing a meeting of the co-ordinating
committee of the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission.
These two highways for the greater
part of their length now are only 33
feet wide. In view of the fact that
they carry very heavy traffic as feed
ers to Maryland highways, the COM
mittee believes that they should be
made 10 feet wide.
PIats Being Prepared.
Melvin Hazen, surveyor for the
District. and a member of the CO.
ordinating committee, is having pre-
pared the necessary plats, which will
be sent to the legal department of the
District to form the Da sis for the con-
demnation proceedings. which will be
filed in the District Supreme Court
in the near future.
The committee also approved the
recommendation for the condemna-
ton of land for the opening of Crit
tenden street northwest from Piney
Branch road to Sixteenth street. Mr.
HaZen will prepare a plat for institu
ton of condemnation proceedings in
this case also. The land which is to
be the subject of condemnation pro-
CeedingS has not yet been improved
by any buildings, and it is the desire
to open up this street before any
home construction Is started.
The committee will recommend to
the District Commissioners that they
hold public hearings about December
5, on the suggestions of the co-ordi-
mating committees for certain high.
way changes, which already have
been referred to the District heads.
Other Changes Planned.
It is the desire of the co-ordnat ting
committee that the hearings be held
around that date in order that the
decision on any or all of them may
be ready before the meeting of the
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission, on December 10.
These changes included Utah ave-
nue., in the Cleveland Park section;
a change in Hillside road 80 that it
will not pass through Fort Dupont
and to move Ridge road slightly to
the south to preserve certain trees in
the park.
They also include recommendat tons
for certain changes in streets in the
