The circuit Itself consists of two stages of tuned radio frequency amplification, a detector and two staggs of audio frequency amplifica- tion.. By a special method of con- necting a very low-capacity con- denser in series with a eoil which forms part of the grid circuits of the radio frequency stages the harm- ful tube capacity effects are ellmi- nated. In the diagram given below and in the panel and baseboard layout which will be given tomorrow No. 1 is the aerial post and No. 2 the ground post of the set. The neutrodyne coils con- sist of two coils, one inside the other, in close inductive relation to each other. The inside coils consist of a few turns of wire, while the outside coils consist of many turns of wire, with a tap several turns from one of the ends. It is not desirable to construct these coils, better results being pos- sible from the coils constructed and marketed for the purpose. In the first neutroformer the in- side coil is used as the aerial coil and the outside coil is used as the grid or secondary coil. The top end of coil 3 has been marked A, the tap has been marked B and the bottom end has been marked C. The same letters have been used to mark the terminals of the other neutroformer secondary coi Coll Markings Given. The top end of the coil inside coil & has been marked 4 and the bottom terminal has been marked No. 6 is the variable condenser con- nected across coil 3. No. 7 is the rheostat which con- trols the filament circuit of the two radio frequency amplifier tubes, The type depends on the tubes used. Best results are obtained by using UV A tubes throughout, using rheo- of 6 oms or more. condary coil of the RADIO QUERIES Radio Editor: 1am very much intcrested in radio, and, having little knowledge of the subject, allow me to axk you several questions that puzzle me. Is it true that in the near future house current will be used in place of batteries? If so, will it be possible for persons having expensive sets to change them so that electricity could be used without doing away with the set? Is there an apparatus on the market that is used with one’s talk- ing machine that gives the results of radio?—Mrs. Barbara K. Nimnom. A. A device has recently been in- vented by George B. Crouse of the Rader Appliance Company designed to furnish the filament and plate cur- rent of a radio Receiver without the use of A or B Datterics and also C batteries whenever necessary. It utilizes the power from the current line with which the average house is already equipped. The device con- sumes 103 watts of power, =o that the cost of running a five-tuhe set with the tubes ordinarily used will be small. No change in the receiv- ing set is necessary to use this de- vice. As to the device for use with a phonograph, you probably refer to a loud speaker attachment, but a re- ceiving set is necessary. There also is on the market a combined phono- graph and radio receiving set. Radio Editor: Who is the amateur operator Washington that transmits with an old Marconi non-synchronous spark gap ? He often interrupts the reception of entertainment programs broadeast from WCAP,and WRC.—R. BC, A. The non-synchronous spark cap transmitter is under ban. Yourcom- plaint should be filed with the Bureau of Navigation of the Department of Commerce and steps will be taken to end the disturbance. in Los Angeles Kansas City Los Angeles Los Angeles 2 TO 3 AM. 00—Ambassador Hotel Orchestra GERMANY EXPANDS BROADGAST AREA System Soon Will Embrace Nine High-Powered Radio Stations. Germany's broadcasting system is gradually expanding and will soon include nine high-powered stations so located as to guarantee uniform re- ception in all parts of the country. The radius of the central stations will be increased eventually through intermediate broadcasters established in areas where the central stations e not heard properly. The recently completed station at Stuttgart, which operated daily to a distance of 150 kilometers on a 437 meter wave, like the other six major broadcasting stations, is owned and operated by the Federal Telegraph Administration, which collects a fee of two marks per month from sub- scribers through the post office. Stuttgart is not only heard all over Germany, but in Engiand, Sweden Norway, Denmark, Holland, Austria and Switzerland, when weather con- ditions are good. The other operat- ing stations are in Berlin, Breslau, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Leipzig and Munich. Koenigsberg and Munster have stations nearly completed. Regulations Strieter Than in U, 8. Regulations in Germany are stricter than in this country and American fans may be surprised to learn that even receiving set owners must se- cure licenses from local postmen and pay in advance for broadcast pro- grams. Of course all transmitting sets are licensed and subject to con- fiscation for breaches of regulations; houses may be searched without war- rants if owners are suspected of breaking rules or conducting upau- thorized communication, Native sons have little difficulty in securing a listening-in license, but foreigners are required to register nd provide identification, and their KFI Los Angeles countries must grant reciprocal privi- leges. France is not among the na- tions listed whose citizens are eligi- ble to secure receiving permits Some leniency is granted for portable sets, and with permission of the police, an antenna may be strung from a tele- graph pole, if costs are paid, which is a concession American fans would enjoy. Owners of hotels and exhibi- tors must pay 30 marks a month for the privilege of furnishing guests en- tertainment. ‘When Fees May be Waived. The government is generous in one other respect; fees may be walved in the case of war cripples and blind persons who cannot attend public performances or are poor. Hospitals and homes for the ill and infirm are exempt from broadcast and license fees, while scientists and investiga- tors, co-operating with the radio broadcasters, may be excused from paying radto taxes. Detector and audio recelvers may only be used on wave lengths be- tween 250 and 700 meters, the main broadcast bend being from 392 to 485 meters. Radiating and oscillating sets are forbidden. As the Germans put it, “receivers fitted with audion must be so constructed that they do not swing even if the tension is In- creased. NEW OFFICER STAFF SENT TO WEST POINT Commissioned Personnel at Mili- tary Academy Increased by Shifts. By the Assoclated Press. WEST POINT, N. Y., August 27.— Change in personnel and increase in the staff of officers attached to the United States Military Academy was put into effect yesterday, when 90 newly assigned commissioned officers will be installed. The change in corps of officers connected with the post, made under an order of the War Department, is one of the most complete shiftings of officers in many years and increases the staff of of- ficers from 179 to 205. The 64 officers who are transferred from the academy to be succeeded by the new staff are moved under.a law passed four years ago requiring that Army officers must @pend at Coombs to Coach at Princeton. PORTLAND, Me., August 27.—Jack Coombs, former Philadelphia Ameri- can pitching star, is to become base ball coach at Princeton University, it was_reported here today. He could not be reached at his home in Kenne- bunkport. _— ‘The poorest people in the world are those who try to keep all they get ~ A touch on the accelerator.

His army remained on these bleak hills six months, enduring hardships which have made the name of this camp a synonym for heroism and loyalty. Four days after their arrival at Valley Forge, nearly 3,000 men were sick or too nearly naked to do duty, and when the army moved away, upon the evacuation of Philadelphia by the British, they left between three and four thousand who had died of privations unequaled in history.
