struction schedule and three or four
portahles at the Truesdel School and
the Thirteenth and Allison street
group OF portables will be closed as
a result of the opening of the new
addition to the Macfarland Junior
High School. Iowa avenue between
Webster and Narnum streets, yester-

have been organized there as a Junior
high school unit under the direction
Of III. =. Stafford of the Macfarland

eighth grades at the West or Tr1les.

schools viii be promoted direct

EXTENSION CORD USES.
Running Wires Under Rugs Held
unsatisfactory,

With the increase in the popularity
of power sets, radioists have developed
the habit Of running electric wire ex-
tension cords under rugs and carpets.
1t Is not always possible nor desirable
TO have the radio set placed close to
the wall socket, and it is entirely per.
MISSILE to use an extension wire,
provided that wire is not placed where
it Is going to be endangered.
A wire that Is laid under the carpet
is subjected to an unusual amount of
wear, and the insulation will rub off
In very short time, thus exposing it.
1t is not good for the carpet, and, of
course, there is always the danger of
the short circuit.

ADVISES NEGRO VOTERS.
w. o. Walker Says Support Should
Not Center in One Party.

The negro should not cast his ballot
with one party unfortunately, but
should vote for policies, irrespective
of party affiliations, w. 0. Walker.
editor of the Washington Tribune, told
members Of the Political Study Club
at 1922 Fifteenth street Sunday night
The speaker said that Democratic
New York Is giving the negro more
support than is the whole Republican
party. He said the political leader
ship Of the negro is lower today than
at any other time since emancipa-
ton. Because Of their small economic
strength, he said, the only hope of
the negro is in the ballot. He sug-
gested that it would be wise for the
negro women to take a greater in

Grid Leak Puzzling.

Many radioists wonder why a grid
leak is not used with an amplifier
tube. and even are puzzled 90 know
where this part should come in a set.
The best way to remember it's position
IS to bear in mind that it Is used with
a grid condenser and where the tube
functions as "A detector. Its function
simply is 10 prevent the detector tube
from becoming blocked. There are
four general types of grid leaks used
and in the detector circuit where they
are used there are two general ways
Of inserting them.

SHORT GROUND WIRES.
Most Direct Connection Urged for
Best Results.

1t. makes Il very great difference
whether the ground is taken from one
radiator pipe or another, and that is
because the length OF the ground wire
IS important. The best plan is to have
the ground wire just as short as posi-
bic and to use the most direct ground
FEED available, which Is usually the
radiator
Just remember that the wave length
Of the receiving system is increased
If the length of the ground wire of the
eadin is more than normal.
If it is a question, however, of at
taching the ground connection to q
radiator or to q water pipe, and If one
Of these seems to make the better
connection, though farther away from
the set. it is always good policy to
take the longer lead.in if it is the best
and most positive connection.

The list includes men who are now occupy ing responsible executive positions Tn associations in Connecticut and other states and one man in a for elgn field. At the present time every man except the general secretary was recruited locally. The record of New Britain is one of which any local association could well be proud.
