Standard Cei I in Roberts Circuit Suggestion That Will Be of Interest to Builders of Radio Sets. By C. C. SHUDER Here is a suggestion that might be of Interest. Most of the ready-made colls for the Roberts circuit are rather costly and In some instances appear to be somewhat weak mechanically as n irards the adjustment of the tickler I have used two Crosley varinds such as Is shown In Fig. 1 and while I have not a permanent Installation. THE REMAINING SECONDARY IS CONNECTED AS FOLLOWS F.oJl A B- PRIMARY C D' SECONDARY they give promising results. The tapped coll on one of the va rinds may be used as a single circuit for the pri mary or may be used as the primary and secondary of the antenna coupler by dividing it Into two sections as shown In Fig. 2. On the second varlnd, the tapped coll was replaced with a winding of larger-sized wire for the secondary, the sliding coll used as the tickler and the coil intended for the tickler on the tir. t una. constituting the X-P form. See Fig 3. This latter coil must be rewound with a pair of wires to pro vide the N-l' winding. A pleasing panel appearance is pro duced and the units are mechanically substantial. Things to Know About Low Loss Condensers In the midst of much talk about low loss coils and ' low loss condensers there seems to be much uncertainty on the part of buyers as to Just what constitutes a low loss part of either variety. In a word, It may be said that the less dielectric or insulation there is in either coil or condenser ! the lower the losses, all other factors being equal. This means thin wind ing forms for colls, preferably none At all, as In the basket-weave coll. I For condensers it means barely enough insulation to separate the rotor and I stator plates. Crystal Detectors and the Reflex Circuits The crystal detector Is coming into wide use today through the medium of reflex circuits. One thing in favor of the crystal detector over the vacuum tube is that it la stable In operation and is noiseless. However, there are so many crystals on the market that one has to be careful in making a se lection. When purchasing a crystal detector the first consideration is the maximum voltage that it will stand. Under ordinary conditions the detector should be able to stand up under a potential of at least 90 volts ? a higher voltage If desirable. The fixed type of crystal detector is to be preferred. After the detector has been placed in the circuit it should be reversed to test for better results. It is charac teristic for a crystal detector to work beet in one direction. It is wise to have at least two detectors for the circuit using the crystal and each one should bt given about a month's serv ice. In other words, change your de tector once a month. ? New York World. Detector Tube Should Be Correctly Wired The best arrangement for the wir ! log of a soft detector tube is to coi aect the filament side of the second a r; circuit to the negative terminal of tin detector tube socket. When a liar tube, such as the UV-201A, Is used a* ? detector, the filament wire from th secondary circuit should be connecter to the positive socket terminal. 1U ? member this point as well as the r< ?istance of the rheostat when yo change from one tube to the other. Get Shaip Tuning With Wax Records i I Phonograph Accessory Will Rejuvenate Set and Add Selectivity. By LESTER B. McNELLY We read a lot these days about 1 "sharp tuning" and "selectivity," of J the newer sets. We hear the "DX" j hounds talking casually about getting ; stations that seem impossible. Some- j times those "DX" hounds get over enthusiastie. hut many times they are talking facts. The reason that we doubt many of their stories is because we cannot duplicate their feats, and the real son that many of us cannot | duplicate their feats is because our ' sets tune too broadly. If an expert diagnosed our troubles j he would probably tell us that our J aerial was too long or that our indue- ? tances were too close, and by the time he got through we would feel that our faithful old box of Junk was In the ' jdiurle-circuit crystal class. The ex- ! pert is probably right, but here's a little stunt that will rejuvenate the old set and give it selectivity to the nth degree. Material needed: Fifty feet of in- i sulated wire not smaller than No. 24. two 12-inch or 14-inch disk grapha ?d?one records. Two flathead machine How Graphaphone Records Are Usad to Obtain Sharp Tuning. screws with nuts, one stove bolt hi inch by 2 inches with two washers and j two nuts. Winding the Coils?Take a round I bottle about 2 indies in diameter and j near the base at equal distances apart 1 place three pieces of adhesive t*i>? : each IV2 inches long. Spare 3 feet for a lead wire and then make 35 wraps around the bottle in a clock-wise di rection, keeping the successive turas to pile on each other in order to make the coil as eowpac as possible. Bring the ends of the tape up over the coi! J and use each tape to Jiggle the coil loose from the bottle. Slide the coll { off the bottle and use the tapes to bind the coil as tightly us pos.<>ibIe. Clip the coil from fche original bulk of wire leaving u 3-foot lead. The next coll is a duplicate of the first. Prilling the Records. ? Three inche* from the center of the graphaphone records drill a hole to accomodate the tluthead machine screws and counter sink the holes deeply enough to avoid any possible projection of the heads of th*? screws above the surface. o N't Tpolitan Nabisco Wafers at And rews Brothers, three packages for -"<?

I AROUND COLUMBUS The Ladies Aid Society of the Bap tis^ Church held a pleasant, meeting with Miss Minnie Arledge last Tues day afternoon,. The next meeting will be with Mrs. Fred W. Blanton Tuesday afternoon, June 23rd at which new officers will be elect ed. It is hoped that every member will make a special "effort to be pres ent at this meeting. Mrs. E. W. S . . Cobb delightfully entertained the Outlook Club last Weduesday afternoon. Ferns, bowls of sweet peas and other garden flow ers added to the attractiveness of the ever hospitable Cobb home, Mrs. J.- W. Mcintosh who represented the Club at a district meeting of Federated Club presidents held at i he Battery Park Hotel in Asheville the 23rd of May made a most in teresting and inspirational report of the meeting. As a result of sug gestions brought buck by Mrs. Mc intosh the Clpb voted to buy a copy of Frederick Haskin's book on American Government and read and study a c hapter of it at each meet cussed /which will probably be act ed upon later. At the conclusion of business transactions and exchange of club books an interesting program on three of our Southern Novelists wa8 given: Mrs. Mcintosh reading a well written paper on James Lane Allen, Mrs. Cobb ou John Fox, Jr. and Mus Kathrine McChesney, on Mrs. Burton Harrison. These pa pers were followed by a piano solo beautifully rendered by Mrs. H. F. Sikes, after which the hostess as sisted by attractive young daugh ters, Ruth, Eloise and Emma Kath rine, served a delicious ice course to the following: Mrs Fred \V. Blantcn, Mrs. J. \V.

Last week the Polk County Tele phone Company erected another new line from Tryon to Columbus and seven new telephones were added tn the number already exist ing in Columbus. The Telephone Company i8 planning to put in a switch board to connect with Greens Creek, Mill Springs and other sec tions of the county as soon as pos sible. All persons wishing a tele phone notify Mr. Avant of Tryon who is president of the Company. Polk County, while progressive in many other lines is far behind in her number of rural telephones.
