Redwing, wealthy president of the Redwing Motion Picture company and the Redwing Oil company, of Ventura. Calif., had been talking of a wedding, but the date had never been discussed. Recently they met in Los Angeles, and Redwing suggested taking a walk. The first thing Princess Rose Marie knew, they were entering the marriage license bureau. “We might as well now as any other time,’’ the princess agreed, and they signed on the dotted line.

ALL AROUND THE GLOBE

Some female tarantulas live 13 years. Calcutta is the British’ empire’s second largest city. The Antarctic region has enough ice to cover the entire earth to a depth of 120 feet. Articles found in Swedish soil show that Sweden traded with people of the European continent about 2,000 years ago. J

The apple is the most valuable fruit crop in the United States. Greece was the greatest horse-breed-ing nation in the ancient world. There are 48,000 cases of truancy among school children in New York city in a year. Every state in the Union is now infested with brown rats, Montana being the last one reached by rats, two years ago.

Important Thing to Know About Batteries Batteries are the direct cause of many of the noises in a receiver. Rundown cells or poor contacts will cause much the same noise as static, which often gets the misplaced blame. Charge the A battery when it reads much, below 1.225. The B batteries should be replaced when they show 15 per cent below their rated voltage. The top of the A battery should be kept clean, especially around the contacts. It is a good plan to scrub the top thoroughly with a stiff brush and water. Keep the cell covers on tightly to -prevent any of the wash water from entering the cells. Unless special binding posts are provided, contact to the terminals should be made with heavy clips made for the purpose. When the battery is cleaned and the clips are in place, a coating of grease will effectually prevent corrosion. This will keep the battery clean. If the A battery is kept near the set, a glass baking dish under it will save the floor or rug from damage by acid leakage. The B batteries now on the market are a very satisfactory and economical source of high voltage. The larger batteries, while more expensive at first are the most economical in the long run. Their longer life soon makes up for their greater initial cost Keep the B batteries in a cool, dry place. Their life is greatly reduced when they are exposed to the sun or when placed near a stove or radiator. Never use one dead battery along with fresh ones as this will lessen the life of the better bat terito. The A and B batteries are the power plants of the set Keep them in good condition at all times. Heavy Wire Is Required for A. C. Tube Circuits One of the most important things to watch in using the new A. C. tubes, such as the CX-326 and C-327, is to make sure that the wire used for making the connections to the filaments is heavy enough to carry the required current. in using tubes such as the CX-301A, CX-112A, CX-371A and even the CX--310 type tubes the ordinary type of flexible hook-up wires is sufficient to carry the currents in the filament circuit. In the average 5-tube receiver using two CX-326 tubes as radio frequency amplifiers, a CX-326 tube in the first audio stage, a <..'-327 tube as a de tector and a CX-371 or CX-310 in the last stage, the three CX-326 tubes draw ovjer three amperes while the C-327 tube draws 1.75 amperes. Ls a C-327 tube is also used in the first audio stage, the current drawn by the two R. F. tubes will be over two aiaperes. while that drawn by the tw» C-327 tubes will be 3.5 amperes. The No. 20 wire used in most hook-up and battery cables is not large enough for use with A. C. tubes. Rubber-covered twisted wire not smaller than No. IS should be used. If obtairiable. No. 16 or even No. 14 is to be preferred. Sharpness Depends on Choice of Loud Speaker Sharpness depends largely on the choice of the loud speaker. One can be obtained which will be more responsive to the higher notes, since these are easier to reproduce. The use of typical transformers, or- of resistance coupling or impedance coupling with high amplification tubes, will generally result in sharp rendition. When it comes to mellowness, a variable high resistance, as the rheostat, with 0 to 5,000.000 ohm range, in series of % mfd., placed across the loud-speaker terminals, is found especially desirable. Or a condenser of .01 mfd. may be tried, followed by two, three or four, until the desired “muting” or “soft pedal” effect is obtained. Many Things That Cause Buzzing in Radio Sets When buzzing sounds are heard about the set, the condition may be due to Something being loose. There may be a screw loose in the speaker itself which rattles when a sound of a certain pitch is struck. There may be a bit of paper about the cone which has shaken loose. There may be a little button lying somewhere near the speaker. There may be a loose lamina tn the core of one of the transformers or chokes in the receiver. Another source of the buzzing is striking of the pole pieces by the armature in the loud speaker. This occurs when there is audio regeneration on certain notes. These regenerative peaks in the amplification may occur at any point in the scale. Four-Tube Kit Available For the fan who desires to incorporate in his receiver the latest idea there, is now available a tour-tube kit using the new shield grid tube as a radio frequency amplifier. The set, containing a regenerative detector, is not difficult to build. An Interesting Experiment Interesting experiments in tuning may be conducted by inserting a variable condenser in the antenna lead, or again across the antenna and ground binding posts of the receiver, so as to tune the antenna system of the set Shields Are Useful Shielding is considered almost a ne cessity in the modern receiver, particularly if it is to be operated in a con gested district Although not absolutely essential, nothing is harmed by encasing the audio section tn a shield also. The electrification of the River Shannon is proceeding exactly accord ing to schedule.
