HINT FOR RADIO OWNERS.
Difference in Types of Tubes Held
Important.

Many radio owners do not appear
to know that some types of tubes re-
quire a constant usually at
their safe maximum---for all recep-
ton. Not knowing this. the radioist
does not burn the tubes at this con.
stant voltage when he is picking up
some local station or when conditions
are so favorable for reception that
he does not need full volume.
Any reduction in volume should be
obtained by means other than reduc-
ing f1lament voltage. In all sets this
is possible through slightly detuning
the receiver. although there may be
times when in order to obtain selectiv-
ity this plan will have to be set aside
in favor of some other means of cut
ting volume, such as reducing the
length of aerial. Where sets use q
loop, reduction in volume can be ac-
complished merely by pointing the
loop slightly away from the broad
caster.

MULTITUDE RADIO SET
OFTEN IMPAIRS SERVICE
Reception Faulty Due to Lack OF
Provision for Control of
Amplifcation.

Where a multitude set has no pro-
vision for reducing the number of
stages of amplitiCation that can be
used it sometimes is found that recep-
tion is poor on local stations. This is
due to the fact that there is too much
signal strength resulting in distortion
which, in many cases. actually
weakens reception. The trouble is
likely to develop where super
heterodyne circuits are used too close
to hroadca sting stations, because

Judge motoring by the fools of the

radio be judged by persons who do
not know how to tune, who have no
respect for music and who delight in
demonstrating how little they know
about radio operation?
It rather looks as though the day
has arrived when a persons radio
behavior will have as much to do
with his general social rating as his
manners. his sportsmanship and his

Few Mexicans Use Sets.

In Mexico, radio is said to be con-
fined almost entirely to the larger
cities and 10 a small. wealthy class of
people. Reception there varies quite
perceptibly with changing weather and
it is essential that sets be efficient for
long distance receptlon.

Radio Congestion Restricted.

Congestion on the air has occurred
only in the United States. Canada and
Europe, according to a recent report.
In Argentina. Australia and Mexico
the number of stations has not created
e serious problem. Reasons are the
availability of the full wave band and
lack Of broadcast outside cities.

supers have two detectors and the
signal strength impressed upon the
grid Of the second detector is too
great.
One radio owner solved this problem
with a super by combining the audio
amplifier with a special tube detector
and tuner, using this outfit for the
locals. The arrangement has certain
advantages over cutting off stages of
audio. as is the case in many sets, since
it is in the audio stages that tone is
reproduced.
In most instances, the simplest way
to improve reception on the too power
full locals is to reduce the aerial
efficiency, perhaps to the point of rely
ing upon the binding posts to pick up
the signals.

When your kidneys hurt and your back feels sore don't get scared and proceed to load your stomach with a lot of drugs that excite the kidneys and irritate the entire urinary tract. Keep your kidneys clean like you keep your bowels clean. by flushing them with mile, harmless salts which helps to remove the body's urinous waste and stimulates them to their normal activity. The function of the kidneys is to filter the blood. In 24 houre they strain from it 800 grains cf acid and waste. so we can read fly understand the vital import anee--ef keeping the kidneys ac- tive.

The greatest event in the an nal1 or naval avlation-the his. toric flight to Hawaii undertaken by the United States Navy last summer-has at last been drama fized for the screen. Emory Johnson's great adventure melo drama "The Nonstop Flight opens at the Coliseum Theatre tonight.
 In many ways Johnson's epic production is distinguished as one of the most interesting subjects that have found their way to the screen in many seasons. In the first place it dramatizes an event of worldwide interest and signi- ficance. In the second place it has been produced with the full cooperation of the United States naval authorities.

 GOOD COMEDY IS SHOWING, PALACE

In "Bluebeard's Seven Wives, a Robert T. Kane-First National feature comedy, now current at the Palace Theatre. something new and original is said to have been brought to the screen. The film is described as a gentle sa- tire on the prevalent type of screen press agent, screen she.k and screen vampire.
 Despite its frothy character, "Bluebeard's Seven Wives has also serious underlying theme which runs deeper even than the press agents wild stunt to mai.a his movie star popular by exploit ing him as a modern Bluebeard. This is the awakening of con fidence in the hero. He develops from a bashsul, stuttering bank clerk to a film hero of importanca. The transformation is accom- plished with a good deal of real ism, it is said.
 In the principal roles are Ben Lyon, Blanche Sweet, Dorothy Se- bastian. Lois Wilson. Sam Hardy, and Diana Kane. Alfred A. San tell is responsible for the direc- tion and Blanche Merrill and Paul Schofield for the story.
