Ultra short wave lengths. their great promise of Fave proved in recent tests entirely o temperamental and too unman- izeable for immediate practical use in vadio transmission That is the consensus of opinion among radio engineers and scientists of the Capital, who have watched the experiments of the past few months on wave lengths of 20 meters and less. The greatest blow to the high-fre. quency pionee was the poor results | in the 20.meter communication tests between the United States fleet in the Pacific and the naval research labora- torles at Bellevue. Faulty installa tion of the 20-meter wave transmitter is blamed for much of the trouble, but it is conceded that with the pres. ent limited knowledge of the problem it is impossible to control the higher frequencies with the same degree of accurac as can be done with the lower. Reception of the low wave lengths in any reliable manner is an ther problem which must be solved ves can take their place in the scheme of everyday radio. despite developme A disappointment to the high-fre quency pioneers was the decision to equip the ships and planes of the RADIO’S BEST OFFERINGS TONIGHT.

All Rights Reserve How to Connect the “A” Batteries to Your Receiver. Part 1. The majority of radio users know, or at least they think they know, ali “bout how to connect the batteries with the proper terminals of the recelver. It is not until they find that a wrong connection is an ex pensive proposition, either from the standpoint of blown-out tubes or from the loss of efficlency as a result of improperly connecting the batterles, that they begin to inquire into the whys and wherefores of battery connections. The most important thing to learn about connecting batteries to a re- ceiver is that the A battery and the B battery are two distinct and sepa- rate animals, which cannot be sub- = + Fig. 1 stituted one for the other. The A battery is the battery of low voltage used to light, or more correctly, to heat, the filaments of the vacuum tubes. Batteries Explained. A battery is made up of two or more cells. The cells are the units, while the batteries are the combi nations of cells or units. Cells or nits can be connected in different to give the desired character- istics of voltage and amperage. One of the most common sources of, elec trical current {s the 1ig-volt dry cell. This is usually a cylinder about 2 to 28 inches in diameter and about 6 to 6% inches in height. A single 114-volt cell of this type is all that is nece: ry to heat the filaments of tubes of the WD-11 and WD-12 type This type of cell has two terminals one exactly in the center and thb other at the clrcumference. The terminal at the_center, as shown in Fig. 1, is the positive or plus terminal of the cell and is the terminal referred to when the plus sign is used in a diagram. The terminal at the circumference is the negative or minus terminal of the cell and is the terminal re ferred to when the minus sign is used in a diagram or the word “negative” is used in a description. One of the cells is sufficient to use JAPAN TAKES TO RADIO. for Thousand Applications Sets in Month and Half. Ten thousand applications to own radio receiving sets in Japan were received by the Osaka radio broad casting bureau in the month and a half between March 15 and May 1, the Department of Commerce was advised today. The applications since that time have averaged almost 2.000 a week. This sudden and unexpected in terest in receivers was sald to have been the result of announcements that regular radio broadcasting service is to be inaugurated in Nippon at an early date. 1t is reported that the demand for radio apparatus of certain makes is so great that orders received in Osaka and Kobe have to wait the replace- ment of stocks before they can be fill ed. One American exporter, it is said, has already disposed of 12,000 tube Ten |in Japan and is sending another ship- ment of 20,000 tubes. There are now three Japanese broadcasting stations in operation, at Osaka, Tokio and agay Nicaragua Envoy to Come. MANAGUA, Nicaragua, May 18 (#). —Former President Bartolme Marti- nez will leave for Washington in June to assume the post of Minister to the United States. Reproduction Prohibited. for one WD 11 or WD 12 tube but when more than one tube is used in a receiver, the drain on the cell is excessive and some means of increas- ing the capacity of the current sup- ply to withstand the extra drain must be used. Batterics Connected Parallel. necting two or more cells in what i known as a “parallel connection.” In such connection as shown in Fig- ure 2, two or more cells are connect- ed together so that all the negative terminals are connected together by one wire and all the positive termin- dls are connected together by another wire. constitutes a battery. the additional cells does not increase the voltage of the unit but it does increase the capacity or length of time that a suitable current can be drawn from the unit. When more than one tube of the WD 11 or WD 12 type is to be used in a set it is advisable to use as many dry cells connected in parallel as shown in the method used in Fig- ure 2, as there are tubes in the set Ordinarily one would think that if three cells are used in that manner instead of one, that the system would st three times as long as one.. Prac- tically, however, the three cells last much ‘longer than three times the time that one would last because the drain on each cell is much lower and the cells have a greater chance of recuperating after they are used. The polarizing and depolarizing action is too lengthy to be discussed here, but you can take my word for it.

Breath Bad ? J'ometbmg is out of ovder nside of you THE strain and hurry of modern living con- ditions exact a heavy penalty from many men and women. Constipation is rampant today more than ever in history before. Yet, harm- fully as congested bowels act in undermining the general health, it is fortunate that they fre- quently give plain-spoken notice of the damage they are doing. Bad breath is one of the warning signals. At the first sign of it, wash out your stomach and bowels with efficacious Pluto Water. Pluto Water acts romptly. In 30 minutes to two mours after taking, the foul accumulations that cause bad breath begin to leave the system —and Pluto Water never gripes after use. Keep a bottle of this safe water physic in your home at all times. Itis prescribed by physicians, sold by druggists and bottled at French Lick Springs, Indiana.

Never before was there such a large pack with such a big proportion of small sized, high-grade peas. Some years buyers from canneries get one-third of their orders on small peas filled, some years one half and in others varying percentages, but last year every order of ours for small peas was filled com- plete. So we got more small,” high-grade and high-priced peas than we got in all of several previous years. SO, BEGINNING TOMORROW, we are going to try and reduce this stock. And at the same time the opportunity will be presented to you of trying high-grade, high-priced, small-sieve canned peas. BUT AT A PRICE Budweiser Bottle, 16c $].75 Per Can, THAT IS WELL WITHIN REASON. We hqve purchased this same brand and grade of peas for shipment to us after this Summer’s pack. These are Inderrieden pack and very finest quality. HIGH LIFE 2 Oc BRAND, per can Buy them by the can or case, this is wonderful value, and price will last only so long as our stock is sufficiently reduced—then our price goes back to our original figures.
