Mr.. jenkins, who has been work

ACTIVITIES

A joint meeting of the Boy Scout
troops No. / and No. 8 was held
at Ye Olde College Inn Friday eve
ming. On account of the rainy wea-
Their there were only ten scouts pres
ent. The meeting was under the
supervision Of Scoutmaster J. P.
Buchanan, Jr., assisted by Mr.. San
derson, and was opened by giving
the Scout Oath and Laws in unison
followed by roll call.
Scoutmaster Buchanan then read a
general program outline for Scout
Anniversary week, February ! 90 18TH
Inclusive, which will be a week of
good turns and celebration of all the
scouts Of the entire nation and
world. The birthday Of scouting
comes in the middle Of tn is Ami
versary Week on Wednesday, Febru-
airy Sth which is the eighteenth an
niversary Of the Boy Scout organiza-
ton. All scouts welcomed the idea
of the general program with much
enthusiasm.
The following are some of the
more important good turns reported
by the scouts at the meeting: "Di-
rected a man on the right road to
Harlingen"-by Wilbur Washington;
Caught q lady's cat and returned it
to her" by Uriah Stegman; Return
ed a lost wallet containing five dol
lars TO its owner" by Robert Glen
denning.
The floor was then cleared and a
very lively modifying contest was
held. After tying most of the knots
in the Scout Manual with as much
speed as possible it was fund that
some Of the better and faster knot
tyers Jagged behind on the simpler
knots. However the study branched
out into new knots of a curious ma
ture and a very interesting time was
had il learning. them.
All Scouts then enjoyed playing
games until nine o'clock. at which
time the meeting adjourned until
next week.

Ry c. Z. B%UTTERFIELD

ASSOCIATED Press Radio Engineer)
NEW YORK, Jan. z, R1-The
secret Of successful operation Of
tuned radio f~requencies lies in the
balancing system used. OF the meth
DDS devised the grid-plate resistor
idea and the scheme OF ne~utralizing
with an an coil are popular because
of their ease of adjustment.
While the grid-plate plan tends to
introduce a certain amount of re-
sistence, it c~ompensates for this loss
through its ability to put a circuit
in balance quickly. The parts used
consist Of a variable resistance with
a range from $4,000 to 100000 ohms
and a blocking condenser Of .001
capacity.
The resistor and condenser are con-
nected in series. one side of the
condenser going to the plate and the
remaining connection on the resistor
being fastened to the grid. The re-
sistor is adjusted until oscillation
is brought under control. With two
or more steps of tuned radio fire.
quency. one of the resisrors may be
mounted on the panel and used as
q volume control.
BY the grid-plate scheme It is pos
sible TO balance six steps Of tuned
radio frequency within a few mo-
ments. Once put under control the
receiver has no trace Of oscillation
unless tubes are changed or the
resistors varied.
The an" coil method requires a
neutralizing condenser and a pri-
mary coil tapped in the center. The
neutralizer is Of the ordinary tyne.
but should be a good one. The coil
consists OF Is or 90 turns. tanped
IN the center.
The center tap is connected to the
neutralizing condenser. the other
side OF which is hooked to the grid
lead. One end OF the coil goes TO
the plate. while the other is tied
onto the 90 volt r battery c~ircuit.
Balancing is done by adjusting the
condenser until the best operating
srot- is found.
In constructing radio frequency
amnlifiers each stage should be pro-
vided with at least one bvpass con-
denser. The capacitv NAV be either
one-half or one microfarad.

Banks Plays Safe

IL only goes to prove that you're
stacking up trouble for yourself
when you try 20 make a woman do
not to do. "Play Safe" and let her
have her own way-that's a wise
conclusion that can be drawn from
the fun and frolic promised In
Monty Banks new comedy, a Pathe
fSature film, "Play Safe" showing
today at the Dittmann theater.
If somebody hadn't tried to make
Virginia Craig marry a man she
didn't love there would have been
no story. Virginia is an heiress,
and under age, and this gives the
rascally trustee of the estate the
idea OF marrying the girl and her
millions to his only son, who is
none too bright. but bright enough
TO see the benefit Of such a l~oveless
match.
Virginia decides her only chance
is to run away, but she only runs
from one trouble into another, and
If she hadn't met Monty, an opti-
mistic youth who thrived On trouble
his own and others too-only
a life insurance agent could have
guessed what would happen. OF
course, this sort Of thing-forced
marriages-has been done in the
movies before, but they never had

FISH REFUSE
HOOVER HOOK
Cameramen and Power
Plant Blamed For
Poor Luck

BROWNS CAMP, Near Horn
brook, Calf, July 31.-F1-Little
luck has eme the way Of Herbert
Hoover, republican presidential can
didate, thus far in his quest for
fish in the remote places of north
ern California and southern Oregon.
But he has attained one objective of
his 650-mile automobile ride from
his home Stanford university
that of is cation from politicians
ana things political.
Although casting in two rivers
the Rouge in Oregon and the Kla-
math in California-the commerce
secretary failed to land a trout. A
hydro-electric plant and photogra-
piers were given a large part Of the
credit for his disappointment dur
ing the first of the three days he is
to spend angling here before get
ting back to the work Of the cam
paign.
After the cameramen had spoiled
his outing on the Rouge in the
morning, the nominee tried his for
tunes on the Klamath in the after
noon, driving IS miles down the
river without letting any Of them
know he h.l departed.
While he was en- route, the flood
gates at the h~ydro-electric plant far
west of this place were opened and
the river rose rapidly with an in
crease in the swiftness of the flow.
The water became very muddy and
the fish apparently kept to their
holes.
Upon his return 10 Stanford on
Thursday Hoover will put the fin
ishing touches on his acceptance ad-
dress. He had worked for weeks on
his declaration Of issues in the COM
ing campaign and desired to get his
mind completely off Of IL before
looking il over for a final decision.
