SUGGESTIONS on Shielding.

While shielding is valuable fea.
ture in radio receiver design. never
theless the shopper for a new set
should not definitely turn down an
outfit just because complete shielding
is not revealed when the lid is lifted
Up to a certain number of stages it
is not absolutely essential to shield
cordensers. Coils, however, always
should be shielded since there is a
great amount OF eddy current to con
tend with, and it is only by shielding
that this can he kept within bounds.
Generally speaking, when there are
more than six tubes in set the con.
denser should be shielded. Obviously
it is only when there are a multi
plicity of stages and when amplifica.
ton reaches a higher degree than
normal that condenser plates com
mence to disturb one another and re-
quire the guarding which only shield
ing can afford.

a story has been going the rounds
OF the French press and has been
even printed in England, that Field
Marshal Ludendorff has changed his
religious faith. He has become dis
satisfied with German Lutheranism.
But does that mean that he has gone
over to the Catholic Church, or be-
come a convert to Theosophy or
Christian Science? Not in the least.
Ife has simply decided to go back to
the old German worship of Odin.
This might be his latter-day version
of the cry about "our old German
Gott," which was so often raised in
the early days of the war. Anyhow,
If the story is true. the field marshal
has gone back 10 the primitives with

doing things. Nothing better demon
strates this than the troubles that
have come to radioists who thought
they could obtain super.results by
using a quantity of power tubes.
These do not have to be power

which many radioisls overlook is that

Answers to Questions.

l. Yes, but such an arrange
ment is not recommended.
2, 1t is at right angles to
electric lighting wires, and
therefore decreases the tendency
for interference from this source.
3. In the order given, the 210
being the most powerful. There
is only slight difference between
the first two.
4. Yes, but it is better distin-
euished as an indirect AC set.
There are strictly DC sets that
are designed to operate from the
light socket in the business dis
tricts of New York. Chicago and
some other large cities, where
DC current is supplied for light
ing and power purposes.
D. Even spacing of stations on
