Radio differs very little from most her mechanical and electrical appli- nees in its ability to break down. It , however, the unfortunate habit of taying in a state of absolute inertia huch longer than most things, because ny one of the several ‘million’ things jan can happen to it arc enough to ep it as quiet as if it was broken up small pieces. In considering the fils of a radio set us start at the centre of life—the Wt of the system, as it ts called, the jorage battery, and work around the reuit until the troubles that are com- on to each and every part have been horoughly examined and the proper medies applied, so that the unit may in function, The reason for taking e storage battery first is because it is e unit which {s subjected to the test amount of abuse and is the ost vital single part in the combina- mn outside of the vacuum tube itself. ‘Among the things that are common in orage battery troubles is that the bat- Fy Will not come up to proper voltage. e a volt meter reading across each Il while the battery 1s being charged. rom the reading it will be easy to de- mine whether one of the cells is fhorted ,or whefher a badly sulphated ell is the cause of the trouble. The hort circuited cell will show very little, any, drop, while the celi suffering ‘om sulphation will show % great drop. Dn the other hand, if the entire battery eulphated the plate will show a white ost insoluble coating, which will ve to be rentoved before the specific wity of the ¢lectrolyt jerease and the battery put ba oper working order. ‘The remedy for moving the white Insulating substance om the plates is by long charging at wavy rates, In this way the sulphate dissolved and absorbed by the solu- on. In this connection {t ts well to rin mind that when charging a bat- Ary at a very high rate, the tempera- Gre is very likely to become excessive, d_unless carefully watched will result the ruination of the battery by buck: er damage. Short circuited cell very often used by the addition of too much ats- led water. The remedy here is ob- lou: remove the superfluous solution ith a syringe or hydrometer float r ptacle. Another reason for short cir- {ting is the presence of a broken buckled plate or a broken separator, Ach cin only be remedied by remo hg the “damaged cell and replacing the essary parts. ‘With thick plate dom that the polartity of an indi- dual cell is likely to change because is almost impossible to discharge it @ rate sufficiently high to accomplish but {t has been known to happen. will evidence ftself the moment ou try to recharge the battery in a ry characteristic way, which will be nmistakable when accompanied with ‘the usual quiet of the radio room be- {ng disturbed: by lots of noise and action from the defective member, which .nay ‘ even induce some of the furniture to. shimmy. This may also be caused by the battery discharging back through the transformer without the necessary precaution of pulling the switches. Other articles have dealt very ex- haustively with the subject of the stor- age battery, its construction, maintain- ‘ance and care, It {is paramount to proper radio operation and should be considered as such and treated prep- ly, It makes a wonderful servant ‘a bad master. Give it a little at- tention and you will have little or no trouble with it. Other troubles of the radio set will be taken up in this column until the cir- cult hes been completed. WEALTH DEPARTMENT FAIRY TO TALK BY RADIO. The New York State De’ armies of Ith will be on the air from Schenec- tty on Thursday and Friday night ith a message on “How to Grow Big, ealthy and Wise.’ These talks are igned for the little folks, and will be Droadcast from WGY on a wave length of 360 meters at 7.30 P. M. daylight | saving time, and will be told in story fashion by the Health Department Fairy. LONG ISLAND RADIO CLUB. ‘The next meeting of the Long Radlo Club, which is to be held Plaza Business School on June 23, will be the last one until September. A summer code class will be held for all who want to limber up on the key, but “Old Man Static’ is getting too much, ‘eo the members have decided on a close down until the cool weather sets in, QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS B.

Will number 12 B. & S. be all right for a aerial? n I use a lead pipe for @ ground in- d of an fron on I have my radio Sen in the cellar and all the pipe down there is lead, the iron pipe being on the floor above Answer—The size of the sample you enclosed fs number 16 B, & S. ‘and is not the right size nor type for winding a vario coupler, What you want to get is about half a pound of number 22 or 24 single, or double cotton or silk covered copper wire or number 22 or 24 enameled copper wire. The lead pipe will serve the same as an iron pipe for grounding purpose: Fan—"I want to build a radio set and ould like to know what kind of a set I i SERVICE COLUMN. will have to construct to enable -me » hear all of the broadcasting stations along the coast and also as far West Chicago? er—Unless you aro thoroughly f. jar with radio I cer- tainly would not pt to build such @ set as you want. Get some radio eng’ to design one for you or buy a set consisting of two steps of radio fre- quency amplification, a detector and two or three steps of audio frequency amplification. A set of this type Is tho ‘one kind outside of the super-hetrodyne that will give you the receiving radius that you are after, Personally, | would suggest, if you want to build your own set, start with the crystal and graduate fron one stage to another until you understand radio sufficiently to war the outlay necessitated in assembling a set of such great sensitivity. 1, Anderson, Yonkers--''What is the Proper capacity for a gr +A onge and for a phone condenser ‘The grid condenser should have a ca- pacity of .00025 Mfd. You can usually wet a combinatl. grid leak and con- denser for a few cents more, The grid leak should be about one-half Meg. Phone condensers run should have a ca pacity of between ,002, .005 and .01, de- pending upon the serv ‘Tre only way in which to make absolutely sure that you ure getting tie right condenser is to get about a dozen and test them out. Arthur Hagen, New London—‘Which will make the better panel board, bake- lite or glass?" Answer—Bakelite ‘s much easter to work than glass and is} not breakable, In getting glass it -v''l be necessary to get a piece of good crown glass, in which there is no color- ing matter, which is obtained by mixt meta}ic substance for various effects. The glass is very brittle and is excep- tionally hard to mark and drill, and un- less the interior work is of the cleanest type it will give the appearance of ¢& sloppy job. For all general purposes the bakelite 1s preferable. B. Werneke—"Can a crystal set be made regenerative if hooked up to an amplifying unit of two steps of audio oy? «If so, how can ft be done” jo. At'the present time there is no known way of making any crystal combination regenerative, The use of + crystal with audio freq - amplifics. tion {s not advised, ag the results are in no way rellable as’ compared to the regular vacuum tube detector, which is Infinitely more sensitive than the crystal. Radio Ike, ‘Trenton—Awill a cage aerial give better reception than a single wire inverted ‘L'? Can I use a set ‘f duo-lateral cofis with a crystal set?” Answer—The construction of a cage aerial will i.,olve a lot ore work than the single, wire aerial and will not give any better results, Cages are\ more efficient for tran -ission ~-~~ses, The Yuo-lateral coils of the proper size will give exceptional results with a crystal set.

Among them are many camerists. The Eve- ning World wants the picture makers to send ‘it photo- graphs of summer events, people at play in parks, along the shore, at the beaches, motoring, &c., for publication in the Green Pictorial Section. : Send these photos to The Evening World Pictorial Editor. For each picture accepted The Evening World will pay $2.00. Each week, too, it will award $10.00 for the picture showing the greatest photographic merit. BUT REMEMBER! All pictures must be photographs of PEOPLE do- ing things that are interesting as news. Scenic back- grounds are desirable, but there must be HUMAN BEINGS in the foreground and these must be shown clearly. You know-—just the kind of photograph you like to see in the paper. : With the photos send a description of the character of the event and its location; also, when possible, the names of the people shown, indicating the individuals by saying “left to right” and following with their names. ” ___ Mail all pictures to THE EVENING WORLD PIC- PORIAL EDITOR, World Building, New York City.
