Careful Checkup j of Set Necessary _ * Best ^Apparatus Very Likely to Reach Buyer in Dam aged Condition. 1 } Jt is hardly possible for the fan to 'ljay too much attention to the qua] Sty of the apparatus lie uses in his ;<et, and it is just a* important that Sfie check up expensive and high qua! "itv apparatus before he uses it. Hoods made by manufacturers of Undoubted reputation mav become damaged in transit, while being ban (Jled in tho stores or while being par aded home after purchase.- This may happen only occasionally, -but that fact does not h*lp the fan who hap. pens to he tho one to possess such damaged apparatus. Open Circuit* Fatal. (.‘•pen circuits in coils (such as Hie rotors and stators op variocoupler, va rlomefors, tuning coils, fixed resist ances,, rheostats, etc., and shorted, fixed mid variable condensers are fatal to the operation of any set. If ,‘the fan Is not sure of Ids abil ity properly to test such apparatus, be had best have It tried out by some radio friend shilled in such matters. But such tests can he easily made, tn rpust instances by the following method:. Obtain a single dry cell and connect one prong of a post to a email flashlight battery and a piece of wire n>. tha other post of I lie dry cell. Now touch those two wire ends each end of the coll being tested and the other wire to the other end. tf the lamp of the flashlight flashes, t,lie coll is o. k. If it does not, the w ir ing of the coil is broken somewhere. Now touch these wires to the poles of condenser, either fixed or variable. This test is the reverse of the first. In this case. If the lamp lights, it ife an indication that the plates of the condenser are touching and the con denser is therefore shorted and cannot be use.d. 1 Better Audio Transformers Make Three Amplifications Practicable Audio frequency amplification has now reached tlie stage where three slops can he used without distorting the signals. Tills is due to Improve ment In the construction of audio fre quency transformers, • Most upto-dale receiving sets have audio amplifying npiwratus in the same cabinet With the tuning ap paratus. A convenient arrangement, however, is to use a separate audio frequency amplifying unit either built into a cabinet or "on a panel. This can be attached to whatever type of receiver you are using. It is I he purpose of tilts article to give h few pointers and cautions to the fans who contemplate building audio frequency amplifiers, either as a separate unit or as an addition to their present receiving sets. Hook ups for an audio amplifying unit are given in Figs. 1 and A three-stage amplifier, as shown in Fig 1, will am plify tlie output of a crystal set or nonregenerativo single tube set up to full loud speaker volume, while t)ie two-stage amplifier, shown in 2. will he amply sufficient for any type of single tube regenerative set. When adding audio amplification to any type of regenerative set it is ad visabie to connect a fixed condenser of .001 MFD capacity across the primary terminals or me rust irons fcirmer, as shown in tlm ^liagraui. „\n audio frequency. transformer is railed upon lo reproduce sounds of frequencies ranging from about 10.0 per second up to the upi>er limit of audibility, which may be 10,000 to 20, 000 per second. If alt theso frequen cies are not equally amplified the re sult Is either a loss of tone quality or an actual distortion of the voice or musical sounds. Tills becomes more noticeable as the number of stages Is increased, and the practical work ing limit is three stages. One of the most frequent sources of trouble in audio amplifying circuits and particularly In three stage ^cir cuits, is magnetic interaction be tween the edres of the transformers, which manifests Itself in the produc tion of howls and 111 distortion of sig nals. To reduce this effect to a min imum it has been the custom in the past to place the transformers with their cores at right angles to each ot her. The best results will be obtained by the use of a transfdrmer "having a ratio of 6 to 1 in the first stage and ratio of 2 12 to 1 in the following stages. In any audio amplifier, the most perfect reproduction will be obtained when tubes are not being forced to their maximum.

One thing sure—it takes a wonderful motor car to make the brilliant record Willys Knight made in 1923. It certainly shows that folks are out for the biggest value they can get—and determined to get it. People are turning to the Knight for its beautiful coachwork, its luxurious comfort, its distinction, its great strength —but mainly and mostly for the many incom parable benefits of the wonderful Willys Knight sleeve-valve engine. The famous engine that actually grows quieter, smoother and more powerful in use! Here is welcome freedom from valve grinding and carbon-cleaning—and other disadvantages of ordinary poppet-valve engines. Willys-Knight owners report 50,000 miles and more without need of tinkering with the engine. And no Willys Knight engine has ever been known to wear out! The day of the Knight is here—for good. You can hear evidence of it from happy owners. You can get the evidence yourself in a demonstration of its action. Any car . that leaps ahead 238% in one year strongly invites looking into!

If move people are It. be induc'ed to live iij rural districts, farm life must I* made more attractive to them and the greatest attraction Is that afford ed by Intercourse with others. But as soon ns this grouping of people so necessary to social lutercourae oe c urs, the locality ceases to tie rural, and becomes urban—a small town springs up, and l lie soil Is occupied with the activities of the town, pee baps a city with its industries and closely-grouped dwellings. y\II wealth comes front the soil. The "bttok-tu-thofann" movement proposes to popularize the rural dls 11let. and Tgreat strides have been made with the, help of siflenee and Industry. ’ But the human touch Is needed ■Mid tills human touch Is the gift of radio. The roads may be bad, with the movie show, the church, or the en. cial miles away: the telephone lines may be down, and the mail carrier unable to complete his clrt ult; but newg and entertainment are alea s In the air, to be caught by the ade quate receiving set, to inform, in struct and amuse. The great broadcasting stations are 4 night and day serving the isolated farm with the worlds best music, transmitting the voices of great men, world news, and the market report* so necessary to the modern agricul turist. If radio will aid the bark to the farm movement, as I honestly be. tieve it will, then another great good can be laid at its door. PlaUsmotith Chief Remains.
