One of these is to disconnect the outsice antenna, relylng upon the wirinz in the set and in its binding posts to provide sufficient aerial. Another, of | course, is to cut down on the power. Either of these plans is likely to destroy some of the musical quality by cutting out frequencies whic actually are desirable. Also the con- ventional rheostat which is the control for the “A"” current usually is not fine enough in its adjustment to pr vide a means of combating this oscillation of the set when local sta- tions are powerful or too close at hand. A better plan is to insert, in the “B” leads to the radio frequency stages, a high variable resistance which can be mounted on the parel or at some other convenient poin *This resistance should be of a type that ranges all the way from ¢ to 500,000 ohms. It is found to he an effective way to bring in the station ‘with all of its tonal qualities, vet with | volume toned down to a point where reception is good. It also obviates the annoyance of switching off the antenna or of trying to do the impos- sible with the filament rheostat | control. i e - | The will of Martin Roche, world-fa- | mous architect, directs that his large collection of paintings and etchings be sold and the proceeds used for schol- arships for students of the Chicago | Art Institute to study architecture abroad.
