Twenty vears ago, when I was a newspaper correspondent in Berlin, the eader of activities in the ““Ameri- can colony” was a young electrical engineer named Harry W. Turner. We were cronies.

Francis Egan's “Recollections of a Happy Life” this week, I came across the group picture of Dr. Egan, Dr. Cook (“discoverer of the North Pole”), William T. Stead and Yourself at Copenhagen the day Cook returned from his vovage to the Arctic. I noticed that while Mr. Stead wore a business suit and a cap, you and Mr. Egan were very formally attired, including a silk hat. Puzzling over whether you were there in a diplomatic or a journalistic capacity, I called the picture to the attention of another radio fan. Her explanation wa: “Perhaps Mr. Wile had just gotten in from the night before!” I hope when and if you publish your own recollections, this weighty point will be explained. ks Personally I know nothing whatever about the mechanics of radio, but bugs now and then talk to me about “reception,” and say it is always bad in hot weather such as we are now suffering. Jack Binns, famous wire- less operator of S. 0. 8.” fame, has issued an interesting statement re- garding Summertime reception. He claims it isn't at all bad, and that if fans use ‘‘discretion,” fairly good re- sults may be obtained throughout the warmest months. Binns says: The bogey that we have built up around Summer radio is large- ly a man of straw. He can be knocked down very easily pro- vided we go about the job in a quiet, business-like way. Take, for instance, a standard five-tube neutrodyne. A set of this char- acter will work quite satisfactorily on a short aerial. For the Sum- mer months, therefore, let us use only 15 feet of wire for an aerial. In addition, we will use only one stage of audio-frequency amplifi- cation. We will forego all at- tempts at distance except on nights when the air is clear. If we do these things and concentrate upon local stations, our radio set will give us joy beyond compare during the torrid season. * ok %k Out_ in- Chicago, my portorial home town, “Big Bill" ompson, long-time mayor of the Windy City, is staging a political come-back by means of his own broadcabting sta- tion.

Last vear successful communication was carried on on wave lengths of 80 and 125 meters, while the plans for this Summer contemplate the use of 20, 40 and 80 meters.

Probibited HOW TO USE A POTENTIOMETER. A potentiometer finds a wide variety of uses in many radio circuits. One of the most important uses of the in the early clrcuits, when soft tubes of the UV-200 and C 300 types were used extensively as detectors, was as a vernier adjuster of the plate voltage of the detector tube. In such cases a rather fine adjust- ment of plate voltage was necessary for the best results, and the adjust- ment obtained by the 1!3-volt steps of the B battery taps was not suffi- cient to give the required fine ad- Jjustment In those circuits the potentiometer was connected directly across the A battery, and the negative terminal of the B battery. instead of being con nected directiy with the negative or positive terminal of the A batter) was connected with the movable arm of the potentiometer. Potentiometer Obsolete. With the growing popularity of the hard tubes, which are highly evacu ated and do not require a finé adjust ment of plate current. the potentiom eter for fine adjustment of plate voltage has gone out of style. The most common use of potenti ometers now is in the grid circuits ot the varlous radio frequency circufts. The common method of using the potentiometer is to connect it across the A battery and connect the middle arm of the potentiometer with the grid return filament end of the grid or secondary cofls of the radio fre- quency transformers, as shown in the @agram. The adjustment of the arm of the potentiometer regulates the potential on the grid of the tube and allows the tube to function at the best operating point. The bias can be adjusted to a point where there is sufficient grid current to cause enough loss to pre- vent oscillation. When a potentiometer is connected directly across the battery there is some drain on the battery, although it is not sufficient to cause any worry. A potentiometer, however, should not left connected across the battery during the many hours when the set is not in use. It is a simple matter to disconnect the potentiometer when the set is not in use. A battery switch connected in the circuit between the negative or positive terminal of the A battery at either point X or Y will do the trick. Switch Elimination. If you do not care to use a switch but still want to get the benefit to be derived from disconnecting the poten- tiometer, you can use the off position of the rheostat. for the purpose. All that is necessary is to connect the B end of the potentiometer with the wire that joins the rheostat with the filament términal at point F, instead of with the negative A battery terminal. Then when the rheostat is turned off, both the filament of the tube and the potentiometer will be disconnected. In some cases the potentiometer is used as a simple resistance, when a high resistance of the order of 200 to 400 ohms is required. In such cases one of the resistance element terminals is left unconnected and the unit is connected into a cir- cuit with one end of the resistance element and the adjustable arm. $102.89 MORE IS GIVEN HOSPITAL RADIO FUND Total Donated to Bring Broadcasts to Freedmen's Patients Is Now $650.20.

STEVENSON. PETER'S BROADENING SION.—Acts, x.1-Xi.18. Golden text—Of a truth I per ceive that God is no respecter of | persons.—Acts, x.34. VI- Our lesson presents an event that is second only to Pentecost in the magni- tude of jts results in the history of the apostolic church. Here in Peter's broadening vision we have the ac- count of how Christianity emevged from the Jewish limits gwithin which it was cradled to become a religion for the world. In the protest of the Jerusalem Church against Peter’s so cial fellowship with uncircumsized men we see how the teachings of Moses, who forbade social and reli- glous ‘intercourse with the heathen, sought to limit Christianity to the precepts, principles and practices of Judaism. The story of the reception of the first gentile into the Christian fellowship forms a drama that in three acts reveals the successive steps by which the Divine Hand molded the progressive preliminary steps that inaugurated a new age Two visions brought Peter and Cornelius together and by the exten slon of the Christian brotherhood started the new faith along the lines that sought to remove the racial and religious prejudices of centurles. In both cases it was while they were alone communing with God in prayer that His Holy Spirit prepared them by their visions for the new era. God directed Cornelius, the pious, prayer- ful Roman centurion, to send three messengers to Peter, who as the guest of Simon, the tanner, in ancient Joppa, was being prepared to wel come the gentiles into the Christian fold By accepting the hu.\'pu:ul'\' of the tanner, who belonged to a de. spised and com; atively outcast class, the apostle was being prepared to extend the spiritual brotherhood of the church of Christ. Peter's Personal Peter was guided to make this de cision by a vision that brought to an end the gradual broadening process which has been going on in the apos. tle's mind for some time. God never works contrary to psychological laws. Probably Peter was unconscious of the part played by the place and the hour when God gave him a vision that was destined to usher in a new epoch in Christian history. No one can remain narrow who looks out upon the sea for some time view of the Mediterranean from the housetop of Simon, the tanner, would by its vastness naturally raise the question in the apostle’s m concerning where he should go next He had come to the plack where Jonah. because of his antagonism to the heathen, had shipped on vessel n an effort to escape God’s call to preach the gospel in Nineveh. It was at this old sea port -that the logs had heen brought from Tyre in great rafts for the tem ple in Jerusalem. The noon meal was delaved. Absorbed in his devo- ns, the hungry apostle saw a thing descending from heaven. It looked like a vast linen cloth, gathered up at its four corners into four ends, by which it was suspended from the skies It dropped down until the apostle could see within it every kind of ani Preparation. | mal known to his land, both clean and unclean. — Then he heard a voice saying unto him, “Rise, Peter, kill and eat.” The apostle made a char acteristic reply to the unknown speaker, “Not so, Lord, for I have never eaten anvthing that is common or unclean.” The reply of the mys terious voice, “What God hath cleansed, that call not thou uncom ntains the keynote of the revelation that ushered in a new age in the history of humanity by its itual brotherhood. He was meditating upon the important message and strange sight that had been suddenly withdrawn by some in- visible hand when three strangers were announced. Called to Ceasarea.
