Rheostats Variable. The use of variable resistances for filament control is so common that it is not necessary to go into details here | about their use. Rheostats are all variable, some automatically vary with the conditions, while others must | be adjusted by hand. One of the most troublesome effects noticed in a receiver is the distortion | nd whistling that takes place as the from stage to stage. The higher up we go on the amplifier stages, the more disagreeable does the distortion and whistling become. This trouble a high resistance of the order of 12,000 to 120,000 ohms across the secondary | winding or terminals of the second stage transformer. In some cases it is necessary to connect such a resisi- ance across the secondary winding of the first stage audio transformer. The connection for such a resistance is s1hown in the accompanying illustra- tion. The value of resistance used de- pends to a great extent .on the char- acteristics of the transformer with which it is to be used. The best plan to follow is to use a variable resist- ance having a range of from 10,000 to 100,000 ohms, although you may some- times find it necessary to use a varia- ble resistance having a range of from 23,000 to 250,000 ohms. .

Six hundred broadcasting stations is belleved by Department of Com- merce officials to be the absolute maxi- mum number of stations that can be operated without serious interference in the United States. The number on July 1 stood at 571 and will likely re main there or near that figure until after the annual radio conference con- venes in Washington in September. In fact, the department is not con- vinced that there are not already too many plants operating in certain re- glons of the country. Several States in the Rocky Mountain and desert re glon of the West are the only sec tions which have not at least filled their reasonable quota of stations. The Class B stations, which theo. etically should not number more than have now been crowded up past the century mark. It is expected the present total—101—will have been in creased by four or five stations on the Pacific Coast before the broadcasting situation is brought up for its annual discussion. The manner in which the depart- ment is holding in check the ever growing list of broadcasters was dis. tinctly noted in June, when the total roll was increased by only one station, the number of new plants practically but replacing the list of those taking thelr departure from the air.

EVERYMAN'S INVESTMENTS ORGE T. HUGHES. Sentiment Is Dangerous. To let sentiment influence one's choice of investment is a dangerous | practice. It is very hard to impress this idea upon the mind of some peo ple. For instance, in recent years cer-| tuin of the stronger labor unions have | entered the field of finance and with | notable success. Nevertheless when a |member of the union comes to con | sider the securities, stocks or bonds, | founded upon these enterprises he must divorce himself from his very | | natural feeling of sympathy with the | proposition, if he is to make a wise | selection There is no safe course to follow | except to weigh fundamental factors | such as value of property on which a | bond is secured or earnings, present | or prospective, which may make a | | stock profitable. It is fair, of course. to take into account the nature of the management. but that applies to |all investments and not simply to the one in which you happen to be per- sonally interested. It is the same prin ciple that applies to stock sold to em ployes by employers or to customers by a public utility The business risk iz identical for insider and outsider alike, the only dvantage the former has being his | opportunity to keep in touch with | | operations.

COMMODITY BUYING 1S UP TO NORMAL Hand-to-Mouth Policy Here to Stay—Idea Biggest Help to Retailers. BY J. C. ROYLE. Special Dispatch to The Star { NEW YORK, July 7.—The ques-| tion of who would “carry the hod” has kept the manufacturers, whole- salers, jobbers and retailers in a state of uncertainty throughout much the past fiscal year. In other words, each has struggled vigorous- 1v to make the others carry the stocks of goods, with an attendant heavy tie-up of capital. This led to what has hecome known as “hand-to buyin Buying Up to Average. That policy seems now firmly to have established itself, but concerns have seemed unable to take advan- tage of its benefits or avoid its dan- gerous consequences. This has aided to produce spofty conditions in com- merce, but reliable trade figures show that the total volume of this “hand- to-mouth buying” for the last 6 months has been fully up to the average of previous years and well above that for the correspondipg period of 1924, Formerly the retail #hd wholesale merchants hought their whole re- quirements for each season from 4 to | 6 months in advance. They had to pay for them long before they were | s0ld and store them and Insure them | until they, were needed. The manu- | facturer was able to get his money for the goods early, run his factory capacity during rush periods and curtail in dull periods. In other words, the merchant ‘carried the | hod | Hard o Now the merchant hecause of superior facilities he can buy in small quan- tities, practically pay for his goods as he sells them, cut down rents, stor- age space and insurance costs, avoid | tying up his capital, and still get the £oods he wants when he wants them | and as he needs them | The manufacturer now has either | manufacture enough stock to be supply these small but fre-| Manufacturers. | has found that transportation | to pletion and that the debut of the new | price for his security than he could in | quent orders from his customers and | high-powered WSB will be presented at an early date have been received at the Department of Commerce.

This purchasing policy has worked | to,the advantage of both maker and | distributor when they have grasped | It has enabled each to a large extent changes | in styles or failure of demand for cer- tain lines.

Manufacturers have discovered that the ironing out of the rush peaks and to discount depressions has reduced their labor | turnover, enabled them to provide steady work for their employes and cut their costs. It also has gone far toward abolish ing the attenrt of both manufacturers: and distributors to sell their custom- ers what they think their customers ought to have, rather than what the | buyers want. With only small stocks | of goods on hand, they have not been tempted to ¥orce sales which in the end could only antagonize patrons.| Many textile experts declare frankly that it is faflure to recognize the above facts which is responsible for the un. fortunate plight of the New England | cotton manufacturers Get Estimate on Orders. ' | On the other hand, some producer have so synchronized their sales and output that they have practically eliminated seasonal uncertainties. Procter & Gamble, soap manufaciur- ers, for example, have adopted a policy of having the sales force declare in| advance the amount of goods it can and will sell in a year. Production is then restricted to that amount and as | a result the company has been able to guarantee each employve 48 weeks' | full-time work a year and has almost | eliminated employment difficulties. Merchants who follow the hand-to-| mouth-buying policy naturally fail to | gain the discounts which they received | | when they filled their requirements in | advance. ~ But the majority of them | say that the saving resulting from smaller capital requirements, insur ] ance costs and rents has more than made this up. | Nevertheless, stores in. cities located | |in the same trade territory have be- | gun to band together for buying pur. poses—that is, they buy for all, and | while the same buying policy fol- | lowed out and each store orders small | amounts, the aggregate is such that | substantial discounts are obtained. | |COTTON GRADING F;ULES [ ADOPTED IN EUROPE Dr. H. reau of partment €.

For, just as DePaolo recognizes the super- iority of valve-in-head engines for the race track and personal use, so too have more than a million every-day motorists BUICK MOTOR COMPANY, recognized ‘the dependability and per- formance of Buick and the Valve-in-Head type of engine upon which Buick has concentrated for 21 years. De Paolo bought a new Buick with part of the $39,000 prize money that he won on the Indianapolis Speedway and drove it to Altoona where he won the 250 mile race. He bought it with the motor car expert’s discriminating eye for performance, for, dependability and for genuine value. And his purchase, made solely because he has tried Buick and tested its performance for himself, is further evidence of the regard in which Buick is so universally held.
