RE USED TO BUILD
' AIR WAVE TUNER
Principal of Radio Communi
cation With Hints to Be
ginners, Told By An
Expert.
JOHN GILMORE O'ROURKB.
IIMfM
operlnteadent far iMtwi Ne
lk f the American Hedla
. Betey Leagno. .
Hivng obtained a fundamental
knowledge of the principles of tun
ing and realizing the necessity of
this process as used in the radio sci
ence, we are now ready to begin the
construction of a receiving tuner.
The first question that arises is
what wave lengths do you wish your
receiver to respond to? v
Space will not permit lengthy dis
cussions on the various types of
tuning apparata, so I have decided
io. describe in detail a receiving
tuner for amateur use. This tuner
' will also receive all commercial sta
tions operating on a wave length of
. 600 meters. When two variable
condensers, having a maximum ca
pacity of .001 microfarad, are used
in conjunction with this tuner, sta
tions operating between the wave
lengths of 150 and 750 meters can
be received. One condenser should
be shunted around the primary coil
of the tuner and one should be
shunted around the secondary.
May Use Cardboard.
The tubes upon which the primary
and secondary windings are wound
should be made of very stiff card
board. White enamel cardboard
makes fine tubes. The walls of both
tuhes should be at least one-eighth
of an inch thick. The primary tube J
should be made four and three-quarters
of an inch, outside dimaeter.
It is also two inches in length. The
secondary tube is two and one-half
inches in diameter and two inches
in length.
After the tubes have been con
structed and shellaced to make them
as rigid as possible, we begin the
process of winding. The best wire
tor turing apparatus is a product
developed during the war. It is
catled litzendraht, commonly
termed litz. It is composed of a
number of fine wires! twisted into
the form of a cable-If you intend
to use litz on the coupler described
in this article, I wAuld advise the
use of size 20-38. The primary con
sists of 66 turns tapped every 11
turns. The secondary consists of
60 turns tapped every 15 turns. If
you are unable to procure litz use
use size 22 DSC magnet wire.
Use Flexible Lead. v
Two switch levers and knobs will
be required to control the primary
and secondary inductance. The taps
taken on the primary and secondary
coils should be run to two separate
sets of switch points. A flexible
lead should be run from the pri
v mary switch knob to a binding post
. on the front oMhe panel you are
going to mount your tuner behind.
The secondary switch knob should
be dealt with in the same manner.
The other secondary and , primary
terminals should be connected to
the extreme ends of the coils.
The mounting of tiie primary and
secondary coils is a very important
factor. They should be mounted in
inductive relation to each other, and
in such a way as to make the rota
tion of the secondary within the
primary a simple matter. Maximum
i coupling is obtained when the sec
I ondary coil is at right angles with
the primary. . , 1

"Two little maids to school are
we, is the refrain sung by Claire
Mason and Elsie Wilburn, teachers
at Florence school, as they glide
along on roller skates from their
homes near Miller park to their
pedagogical duties.
Ihis method of locomotion has
passed the experimental stage with
them. When they began their morn
iner skate last March thev were
stricken with misgivings as to their
continuity of interest, but now they
aver 11 is a practical du oi aauy
routine.
Thev derive beneficial physical, re
sults and avoid the necessity of
waiting for street cars. By skating
together they enjoy companionship.
"At first we thought it was undig
nified for two school teachers to be
seen on roller skates and we also
thought it kiddish," -said Miss Mil
burn. "We sought the advice of a
and two condensers of the variable
type, very selective tuning can be
accomplished.
Th,e aerial is of course connected
to orte primary terminal of the tuner,
while the ground lead is connected
to the other. '
Don't Use Shellac.
Never shellac the windings of any
tuning appliance, as it lowers the
efficiency of the instrument con
siderably on account of the capacity
effects resulting from theshellacing.
Solder all connections- Make the
whole tuning system as low resist
ant as possible. For, remember, the
results you are expecting depend
entirely on the efficiency of your
apparatus.
In designing your receiving set
use a bakeute panel. Adopt one
type of know and stick to it. We all
want pur outfits to look nice. 1 here

of the neighbors pecked out of their
windows at first and some .of the
children laughed at us."
"There is nohting m'or invigorat
ing than an outing on roller skates
in the morning," Miss Mason as
serted. "It gives us zest for the
day's work "and drives away all of
the cobwebs. We know it has in
creased our efficiency as teachers.
Our principal is enthusiastic over it
and I expert other teachers will be
taking up the idea. J We skate on

on the sidewalk when the pavement
is rough." ' -
The Misses Mason and Wilburn
are clever swimmers and enjoy all

NewYork, May 30. It's "war on

they're singing "Tenting on the Old
Playground" for their battle hymn
those of the disoossed tenants who
I have taken advantage of the new
playground on Boylan street by that
aggressive young mayor, Charles P.
Gillen.
"We had to do something about
this rent profiteering situation," said
Mayor Gillen. "We decided that the
city's playgrounds afforded ideal
situations for tent homes. Many of
the Newark landlords didn't want
children in their houses. They kept
raising rents, and when the increases
were met without complaint they de
vised other means to dispossess their
"Warm weather will make the out-N

"There will be showeAbaths built
under the old base ball grand stand,
and a cooking area will be set aside

"These people may stay here as
long as they wish and take their
time about securing homes else
where." " i
Evervbodv looks hapoy in the new

Stanton, who, through the demands
of her landlord, lost her means of
livelihood, which was derived by
keeping a rooming and boarding
house.
More tents are being erected every
day. I he protest is not against, the
"decent landlords," as Mayor Gillen
explained, but profiteers only.
"We are willing to spend $10,000
on this project," the mayor said.
"All the city playgrounds v can be
taken over and many owners of va

DEFINITE PLANS
BEING MADE FOR
OMAHA MUSEUM
Mrs. Ward Burgess Offers to
Pay Salary for Director
Public Library to Pro

Mrs. Ward Burgess, president of
the Omaha Society of Fine Arts, has
offered to give any amount of money
necessary to pay the salary of a mu
seum director, if the society will pro
vide an equal amount for his activi
ties, the offer to cover a period of
three years. x
The offer was made at a special
meetingof the society yesterday aft
ernoon in Hotel Fontenelle. An
nouncement was made that a direc
tor may be obtained at $2,500 a year.
Offer Space For Museum.
The'rAiblic library board has of
fered to allow the society the use
or rooms; on the top floor of the li
brary, for museum purposes. The
Society of Fine Arts and the Friends
6f Art already have a collection f
fine pictures on the walls of these
rooms and the present plan is to es
tablish a museum which shall be
open to the public and which the
members believe and hope will be
the start of a commodious and per
manent public museum in Omaha.
In the proposed museum rooms
will be held classes in drawing and
painting for children. Other fea
tures will be arranged insofar as the
space will permit. . ,

New York, May 00."-r"Next time
I visit New York J'm goin' to bring
along a gov'ment forty-four with a
lot of bullets in it to protect m'self."
A conservative enough' statement,
considering that the speaker, with
the best intentions in the world, so
he says, came here merely to call on
friends and get some ot the nun
dreds of dollars thev owe him.
He calls himself John Edwin
Brandt, admits he's 13 and a
soldier of fortune and dares anyone
to find out more about him than he
cares to tell.
The children a society calls him
"incorrigible," and, in all fairness,
appears to be quite right.

at the request of the Norfolk (Ya.)
police, since the youthtul voyager
call that Virginia city his home.
It seems as if a normal boy would
think of something other than re
venge five days after being brought
to time by a hotel employe wise
enough to know that a small boy is
a precious thing and needs protec
tion. John is polite to the women
who are looking after him, but never
fails to express his hate and resent
ment toward those who are responsi
ble for his present situation.
What can bft done with such a
boy? Bright, judging from his man

venge are not childish whims to be
cassed over liehtlv. It is a matter
for study. He is pitifully precocious.
John Brandt is a" bright-looking
boy, with well-shaped, head and
studious expression. But his small
body quivers like that of a fox'ter
rier, and his brown eyes flash in a
startling way when an attempt is
made to find out just who he is.
Reaching New York he marched
into a hotel and demanded a room
and bath. A clerk called a police
man who took John to the children's
society.
Now John admits his great life
work will be to wait patiently till he
is twenty-one and "get!L the hotel
and the clerk.
"You just wait and watch my
speed," he said, biting each word.
"My brother is a -great United States
spy, and he gee suppose he found
out I was here guess what he'd do

Wish I had a gn."
The young runaway is possessed
of a strange ambition. He wants to
go back to Coblenz in Germany,
Where he says he spent some time
after the signing of the armistice.
"I was in the Fourth infantry,
third division. Company A," he said
defiantly. "Think you know anyone
in that outfit who can tell youwho
I am? Guess not!"
"I liked a shopkeeper in Coblenz
and I took his name, Brandt. You
can't find out who I am from him,
either. I want-to go back there and

London, May 30. Take it from
Rachel Ferguson, who writes for the
Daily Sketch, Americans are all right
sind English women like them. But
like Cousin Egbert, of Redgap, old
England can only be pushed just so
far.", . . . -
"I have always liked Americans,'
Rachel writes. "They boss one so
naively, whether they are arranging
our law and order for us or inform
ing the world how they showed us
the way to win the war.
After which subtle introduction
Rachel comes to the point.
"But their little brandishings are
getting nearer and nearer the British

America has gone dry and a
handful of women came to England
to, arrange a thin time for us as

don't believe we shall ever go dry.
The point, that fails to amuse me
in regard to the action ot tnese
American women teetotallers is the
effect their dribbling in our politics
and social questions is likely to have
upon our men folk, whose prejudices
we itnglish women have broken
down so slowly and imperfectly, and
with much suffering of mind and
body in the past. . .
"Irresponsible strangers in our
midst, if these white badge women
think they have discovered 'the
evils of drink' Jet us remind them of
one or two matters.-

we English women, having the vote
