Radio News ——— Usu of Sealing Wax Sealing wax is a convenient substitute for soldering the ground connection. The ground wire may be wound around the nickeled water faucet and covered with a collar of I sealing wax. which effectually ex- | eludes the air. leaving the connection I bright and clean for an indefinite per- ' iod. Il does no harm to the plating . of the faucet, and if removed, shows I no trace ot its use. Added Comfort to Headphones Headphones can be made more coni- ' portable by cutting a piece of canvas, three-quarters of an inch wide and one land one-halt Inches .longer than the ' distance front one adjusting screw to I the other. Fasten the canvas to tbe adjusting screws, and this will leave !th- weight of the Jhones and headhands rest on the canvas strip, and the operator can listen in comfort. Wooden Panels Made Attractive Wooden panels oi a radio box can I *•* rubberized by breaking several | old phonograph records into small pieces. Put them in a tin can. and i add one-half pint of denatured alcohol. This will dissolve in a day or two: . then apply on the boards with a brush, i A very glossy finish can be obtained i if the rubber surface is shellacked. I One-quarter inch wood is of correct thickness for most small receiing panels. It would be well to dry the i material in a warm oven before applying the insulating mixture. For the Notebook The average cost ot a radio set is : ’ $75. It is violation of a city ordinance to run an aerial across the street. \n article that is to be used upon I which tc wind tuning coils must be moisture proof. The average vacuum tube of good ! make has a normal operating life of on thousand hours. Loose connections in the grid circuit give a continuous hum. while . those in the plate circuit sound like [ static. Signals can be obtained from the “A” battery connected either way. but : the “B" battery must he connected correctly. .Amateurs who operate crystal sets, afitl pick up messages from Canada. ♦Cuba. or other distant stations, may T>e : merely taking the signals radiated ! from a powerful bulb set nearby. Phantom Waves A radio wave can go through the ■wall of a building with the ease that a ray of light can go through a pane ‘of glass. r A Fact Wireless signals are most easily p rceptible and loudest at the point of the earth farthest from the sta- . tion sending the message. Suggestions to the Amateur When building a radio set, avoid, all cheap imitations; use the best procurable: take plenty of time; plan carefully, and. above all. work neatly. Care of Batteries Do not lay "B" batteries on their side, because in this position the life of the battery will be shortened considerably. Batteries should he placed in a horizontal position and in a c-00l place. Worth Knowing A simple way of determining the* diameter of a wire to be used, is to wind one inch of wire on a pencil, and divide the length of the winding by the number of turns. The diameter of the wire will be found in fractions of an inch. Wiring a Radio Set Solder all connections. I Run wires at right angles, when I Never have any loose ends, [they come near each other. Select stiff wire, so that when once ! put in place it will stay there. I'se spaghetti tubing to eliminate any leakage which brings on tube noises. 0 —— AGAINST FAKE PROMOTERS Washington.

Ukman said that while he was helping the government investigate t onditions in Gary, he was arrested without charge, imprisoned, beaten into insensibility and finally liberal ’ <d after he had steadfastly refused to sign a statement incriminating himself and prohibition agents in a plot to blackmail bootleggers. He said the beating was administered by Prosecutor Kinder and other officials in the presence of Mayor Johnson. Melloy told of delivering confiscated booze to the home of the defendant officials.
