Plucked From the Plains
College Ford

College Ford
Aye, tear her battered license down,
Long has it decked her gear,
And many man has cursed to see
That speeding Lizzies rear.
Within it honked squawky horn,
And burst the engines roar,
The hellion of the roads shall tear
At sixty miles no more.
Her frame, so battered up with bumps
And countless scars and dents,
The relics of her overturns
And other accidents
No more shall feel the burning road
Nor turn on half wheel;
The guardians of the law shall check
The ardent speeder's zeal.
Oh, better that her battered hulk
Should grace the rusty heap,
Her rattle and her ruthless honk
Should sink at last to Sleep
Prop in its place the steering gear,
And every punctured tire,
And give her to the Humpty Dumps,
The birthstone and the fire.

JUST PLAIN HARD LUCK

The earth worn spends a life of toll
Producing rich and fertile soil
All entomologiStS agree
He does no harm to plant or tree
But gives his efforts to enhance
The value of their sustenance.
The bug, the slug, the weevil-all
The other things which creep and

Each passing season rudely loot
The wheat, the cotton and the fruit.
And do far more than storms or frosts
To elevate our living costs.
And yet cruel trick of fate
Make earth worms valuable for bait
And, owing to the fisherman
His life is but the briefeSt span
While insect pests in loot engage
Until they pirsh of old age.

ORMISTON DESCRIBES
LATEST RADIO DEVICE
Editor Holds New Tube Surface Is
Separated from
Filament

Describing the new alternating cur
rent radio tube, X. G. Ormiston. tech
nical editor of a radio publication,
says that the emitting surface Is sep
arated from the filament, which is
sin1ply used to heat the emitting sur
face so that 1t will produce or throw
off electrons,. as in an ordinary tube.
The heating filament has no electri-
cal connection with the other elements
Of the Mccullough alternating current
tube, he says, or the receiver, but the
connections are let out the top of the
tube and connected with the second
ary winding of a stepdown trans
form, the output of which is only
three volts.
The primary of the transformer is
connected directly with the 110 alter
mating current supply. The heater
unit in the tube, the transformer and
the connection with the house cur
rent are all separate from the re
ceiver circuit, Mr.. Ormiston points out
Their purpose is simply to warm up
the "emitter" mounted In the tube
close to the heater, but not in contact
electrically with it. The emitter.
which in the Mccullough tube can
not be termed filament is better
named the cathode" since it is the
negative surface when contrasted
with the positive plate or "anode."
About as seconds are required be-
fore these tubes heat up. and it Is
impossible to regulate the volume
when the tubes are in use without
the use of a 500. .000-ohm potentiom-
eter in -oscillating sets, and in re-
generative sets a 500, ,000-ohm variable
resistance shunted across the second
ary of the radio frequency transform
ers, or a zoe, ,000-ohm variable resist
ance in series with the plate lead in
radio frequency amplifiers.

INOPERATIVE SETS.
"a" Battery Not Bad If Lights
Function

II the set becomes imperative. but
the tubes continue to light, there is
no use considering the "A" battery
or its connections for the mere light
ing of the filaments proves that there
is nothing wrong there. Now look
to the 81 current source and its con
nections. IL a "B' eliminator is
being used II is we'll to consider the
possibility Of the house current having
been switched Off. Frequently the
power lines are dead for brief intervals
during the daytime for power house
inspection or repair
If audio transformers have burned
out they go quicker than the radio
tranSformersl the set should operate
normally for the phones plugged In
at the detector Jack But If even the
detector is silent the trouble probably
IS due to something in the 'B' power
circuit. There are more definite Ways
OF testing, of course, and as radio
enthusiast progresses he learns to use
meters for this purpose. but the
simple deductions suggested NAV AT
least help to put him on the right
track.
