Gone hath the spring with all its
flowers,
And gone the summers pomp and

And autumn, in his painted bowers
Is waiting for the winters snow.
Last Thursday evening the patrons
of the school met and organized a
Parent Teacher Association. They
also enjoyed addresses made by Miss
Kinnick and Miss Henion. The pupils
rendered a short program which was
enjoyed by all. The following officers
of the association were elected: Mr..
Ernest Ridder, president; Mrs. Ada
Martin, vice-president; Mr.. Charles
Kelley, secretary; Mrs. Hurley Miller,
treasurer.
Master Garry Ridder, of Kitzmiller,
who spent the summer with relatives
here, has returned to his home.
Mr. Charles Kelley and son were
business visitors at Thomas, West Va,
Thursday.
Under the direction of Miss Maria
Fike our school is making excellent
progress.
Miss Vida Miller, who spent the
summer in Illinois, is now at her home
in this community.
The farmers of our section are very
busy picking apples and digging pota-
toes.
: Members of Mr. w. P. Warsaw's
family were visitors at Mr.. Ernest

At the beginning of the school term
our school organized a club, electing
the following named pupils as officers:

Improvement in Gas Utilities.
(From Gas Progress of Sept 27)

(ffOm GdS Progress Oh sept ~
In a recent interview, Walter Whet-
stone, President Southern Gas and
Power Corporation, Philadelphia, said:
Substantial Improvement in the
business of our operating utilities in
1927, especially during the first six
months Of the year, is confidently
expected.
"Our optimism, not only at the i'm
mediate outlook but also at the pros
pect for subsequent years, is best in
dictated by the general program of ex-
pension that is now engaging US. In
recent months we. have been building
up our management organization so
that it will be ready to cope with
problems incident to greater business
in 1927.
while our properties are located
mainly in smaller communities, and
therefore our total improvement ex-
penditure might not seem so huge in
comparison with those in larger CEN
tiers of population, we are planning
this improvement all along the line in
the belief that better business is as
sured in practically all of the 80 cities
and towns where we supply gas or
water service.
"Strong evidence of continued in
dustrial progress and consequent
growth in population, comes to US
from the South where majority of
our gas companies operate. The Nor
thern communities served are, for the
most part, thriving and substantial
towns whose industries are long-es-
tablished and whose increasing bust
ness we can surely count on. Consid-
cradle interest is being taken through
out our territory in the industrial use
of gas, and we have every expectation
of getting full share of this business
in addition to new business from res
idential heating and cooking"

Three Resistances.

In each of these lines we will place
a resistance of about 10 meghom,
which you should know by this time is
the equivalent of 100000 ohms. This
makes three fixed condensers and
three resistances. The final step is
to add three grid LEAKS. These arN

obliged to use the proper ratios When
selecting transformers for this pur'
pose. If you use any kind of trans
former with no regard for the ratios
only luck could give you desired re-
suits. 1t is the same with the con
densers and resistances in this more

audio frequencies.'

from the detector in the usual man

speaker. The three tubes for the three
different stages were drawn side by
side and their filament circuits wired
to the plus and minus posts of the
"A" battery in the usual way.
Smith Draws Lines.
AT this point ! asked Smith to draw
lines connecting the plate of the de-
tector tube with the grid of the first
audio amplifying tube. the first am
plifying tubes plate with the grid of
the next, and SO on. This was simple
enough. The connections were direct
from plate to grid in each instance.

No. 52-Resistance Coupling

Having learned why the use of
transformers for audio amplification
often results in distortion Smith was
ready to consider the method of
coupling the tubes of the audio
amplification stages without trans
formers. He was surprised to find
this method comparatively simple.
Resistance coupling, | told him, can
be rugged up from inexpensive and
easily obtasnahle parts. 1t results in
purer, less distorted reception than
is obtainab with transformer coup
ling. And its one objection. a lower
rate of ampliiication, can be overcome
by using three tubes and three stages
of amplitication in a set in which two
stages of transformer coupling would
give ample amplification
If this is true Smith asked, why
hasn't this form of coupling displaced

placed between the grid and fiIament
of each tube"
Smith was impressed by the uni
formity of the hoOk-up and saw how
easy it would be to buy the necessary
parts at his favorite radio store.
What worried him, however, was how
such an arrangement could result in
amplification.
These resistances ought to lower
the voltage instead of increase it as
when using transformers, he rea-
soned.
THAT is exactly the case" ! replied
''The principle is just the reverse of
transformer coupling. In the latter
voltages are stepped in. In the re-
sistance coupling arrangement volt
ages are stepped down on each jump
from plate to grid
Then. how do you get any amplifi-
cation" he asked
That is obtained by the effect of
the voltage drop upon the grid OF the
succeeding tube" ] answered. 1.-The
drop caused by the resistance mate
rally affects the grid. And you know
that the grid Is the traffic officer of
the plate current traffic. Whatever it
does is reflected in the plate circuit
and magnified accordingly
