A Short-Wave Superheterodyne.

the reason being that the use of r. f.
Receivers used for the reception of
short-wave signals generally make use
of a regenerative detector followed by
one or two stages of audio frequency
amplification. In the majority of cases

superheterodyne short-wave receiver,
efficient, and easy to handle. This rc
eelver was first tried out Just a year
ago and has slqce been developed to
that stage wherà It may be duplicated
by the average set constructor with
out fear of any snags cropping up. It
employs two intermediate stages of
r. f. amplification,
reception of short waves differs some
what from that used foi the recep
tlon of broadcasting, although, of
course, the general theory Is Identical.
The superheterodyne method of re

this receiver, the assumption being

The Intermediate frequency chosen

frequency for good telephone recep

used, is satisfactory for c. w. or tele

frequency necessitates detuning the

Two Variable Condensera
In the accompanying diagram two
variable condensers are shown, but all
the tuning Is done with the one In the
grid circuit The condenser In the
plate circuit must be set for each band
of frequencies covered, for Instance
from 7,096 kc. to 6,663 kc. (40 to 45
meters), 6,663 kc. to 5,996 kc. (45 to 60
meters), etc. This setting Is not crit
ical, the only Teqnlrament Is that the
tube oscillate strongly, but not so vio
lently that It blocks. The variable
condenser across the secondary In the
■liter circuit ts not considered a major
control.
The choke coll consists of 100 turns
wound on a wooden form 1 Inch In
diameter and 2 Inches long. A honey
comb or similar coll of 130 or 250
turns wll! also serve very nicely. The
Intermediate transformers must be
capable at amplifying the rather low
frequency of 22 kc. In thla set. those
manufactured by the General Radio
company wer« used, but there a«
probably any number of others which
«rill sera«. The «'olla seed te the en
tonna, grid, and plats, circuits are
made by vrtndtng hare copper wire of
No. 16 gauge over a form on which are
placed four narrow strips of celluloid,
equally spaced. The wire Is spaced
with string, and when completely
wound, the string Is removed and the
wire cemented to the strips by means
of liquid celluloid. The construction
of thla typgraf-coU- Is fw mlllai ' tTr -any 7
one who has followed the development
of the short-wave regenerative re
ceiver.
_Ths Coil*.—
The diameter of the colls Is 3 Inches
for whatever frequency band the coll
Is designed to cover. In the Radio
Broadcast article, details are given fot
making coils for the 40. 50, and 80
meter band. In ,the first detector clr
cuit, for forty meters, the antenna
coll has six turns; the grid coll, seven
teen turns with tap at the fourth turn
from the filament end. and the plate
coll, three turns. The figures given
for the colls are only approximately
correct, as the method of wiring,
mounting, etc,, all affect the capacity
of the colls and. In consequence, the
number of turns required to cover a
given frequency range.
Where the operator or constructor
has a satisfactory regenerative re
eelver already In operation, there Is
no need to change, even though the
circuit differs from the one shown.
The only requirement is that the
primary of the Intermediate trans
former he free of a capacity shunt
greater than 0,00025 mfd.
The filter circuit, which precedes
the second detector tube. Is of special
design. The primary coll consists of
414 turns of wire on a 1% Inch spool ;
t he secondary, of 2.032 turns on a 2>4
Inch spool ; the tickler, of 1,000 turns
on a 1% Inch spool. No. 32 d. s. c.
wire Is employed. The spacing be
tween these three colls should be
varied until best results are obtained.
It will be about I Inch between
tickler and secondary and Inch
between secondary and primary.
Auto Batteries Are Not
Suited for Radio Tubes
Many people who use automobile
starting batteries of the regular six
volt type to light the tubes In their
radio sets notice that a charge does
not seem to lusf long, and that the
batteries are continually running
down. They are especially puzzled be
cause these batteries usually have a
rated capacity of 100 ampere-hours,
which should be sufficient to Insure at
least two weeks of service without
charging.
The trouble Is due to the fact that
automobile batteries are not designed
for radio use. They are constructed to
supply a heavy rush of current for a
short time. Just to turn the engine
over a (ew times before the magneto
starts to work. Radio sets, however,"
require a small amount of current
over a comparatively long period.
When an automobile battery Is em
ployed for lighting the filaments of
radio tubes the plates arm not snffl
entty worked, and tBe active chemical
materials Imbedded In the plates take
on a state of stagnation, explains
Radio News, The charge and dis
charge rate for an automobile battery
Is very high ; decrease one or both and
battery suffers In consequence.
The radio set owner Is idvlsed to
purchase a storage battery having a
capacity of <jp or 80 ampere-hours,
these medium sizes beljpg plenty big
enough for even the largest receivers.
Insulated Wires Prove
Best for the Aerials
Aerial wires may he either Insulated
or not. The only effect Is upon the
durability of the wires, and not upon
the reception. Bare copper wire. No.
14. has been used extensively for
amateur aerials This Is perfectly
satisfactory when new. but as It soon
becomes corroded from exposure to
the weather, It Is uneconomical In the
long run. Phosphor bronze ts some
time« used, but this has a rather high
resistance. Many amateurs have been
recently installing aerials made of the
regular weather - proofed Insulated
wires used for long-distance power
lines.
Selecting Tube Sockets

springs should be so constructed and

word to put the wily French ting on

he received thereafter the nickname
of ''William the Silent," although his
nature was open, frank and far re
moved from taciturnity. _
"William the Silent," prince of
Orange and count -of Nassau, was
born In the Netherlands In 1S3S. As
a youth he attracted the favor of

On Charles' abdication
He was cold-blooded,

all the old emfferor's tact and state
craft to keep them pacltlod. Now. un
der the new king, they again grew
restive. To make things worse Philip
ordered a branch of the cruel Inqnisl
tlon established In Holland. '
This
raised a storm of angry protests, and
Philip sent the bloody duke of Alva
with an army Into the Netherlands to

countrymen. William the Silent raised j
an army to oppose Alva ; but the dull
Dutch burghers were not yet ready
for so radical an act, and William had
to disband his forces for lack of sup
port. In no way discouraged, he hit
nn a new plan for harassing the hated
Spaniards! By advice of Admiral
Coligny of France he Issued "letters
of marque," authorizing Dutch priva
teers to prey on Spain's ships and sea
;oast. These privateers banded to
gether under the nickname of the
"Beggars of the Sea." They did in
calculable damage to Spanish com
merce^»d for years made their name

In 1572 the Dutch again revolted
«gainst Spanish tyranny and made
William their stadtholder, or gover
nor. Yet, warned by his former fall
are, he saw that the people were not
yet ready for absolute freedom ; so
he simply ruled In the name of King
Philip. Spain Increased Its oppres
sions and war followed. William's
two brothers were slain In battle, and
*t one critical Juncture he ordered the
dikes broken down that kept out the
»ea from the low-lying Netherlands
«nd the cobntry flooded to save K from
falling Into the enemy's hands, Phil
ip's armies besieged Leyden, but Wil
liam drove them away and raised the
«lege.
At last the time for freedom was
ripe. Through William's efforts a
number of the Netherland provinces
combined, drew up and signed a dec
laration of Independence, with the
avowed purpose of driving out the
Spanish and forming a free and united
country where all religious sects
should be at liberty to worship God In
their own way. Thus the United
Netherlands was founded.
In 1581 allegiance to Spain was for
mally renounced. William, the prime
mover and central figure In the revolu
tion, had devoted his entire life to thla
accomplished he would not make him
self king of the newly created nation,
but contented himself with governing
It under the leas pretentious title of
"count.''
• Philip, seeing that William was the
backbone of the entire revolutionary
movement, hit on a moat characteristic
pian for wrecking the BHton of the
province«. Instead of sending armies
at once to attack the revolutionists or
to ravage their country In true medie
val Spanish style, he merely Issued s
proclamation offering a huge sum of
money for the murder of William.
Even In the country William had
freed there were many scoundrels
ready and eager to win the reward.
Attempt after attempt was made to
kill him, and for the last three years
of his life the Liberator was In con
tinuous danger of death. Undaunted
by this new peril and thé black Ingrat

calmly on hla way.
But. though threatened men live
long, the end came all too soon for the
welfare of the United Netherlands. On

blood-money promised by Philip, en

FOR DAIRY CALF
"Many farmers are not successful Id
raising calves on skim milk,'' says R.
W. Clark In Colorado Extension B«F
letjn No. 127. "Wboie milk aosy pro
duce the best calf, but nbt necessarily
the best cow. As good an animal can
be produced on skim milk-as can be
produced on whole milk, but greater'
care and attention Is required In pro
dncUig the fo rmer .
"The calf should nurse its mother
for the first few days, after which it
should be removed and fed by hand.
Whole milk, warm and fresh from the
mother, should be given for ten days
or two weeks at least. Ten to twelve
pounds per day In two or three feeds
should be given at first, and the length
of time that it should be continued
depends upon the strength of the calf.
Ordinarily ten days to two weeks will
be required to make the change from
whole milk to skim milk. Gradually
substitute skim milk for whole milk.
Increasing the former until the whole
milk is entirely replaced. This may
be a week or it may be a month. Skim
milk should be warm and sweet when
fed. as cold sour skim milk Is the
greatest cause of scours. It may be
fed for six or seven months, depending
mainly upon the supply. It should be
given until five months of, age at

MlSSOUTl College COWS
Make New Milk Records
Two new Missouri Jersey records In
milk and butterfat production have
been reported by the dairy specialists
at the Missouri College of Agriculture
here.
Raleigh's Velvet Queen, a mature
cow In the herd of Longview Farm,
Lees Summit. In ten months produced
332.Z8 pounds of butterfat and 12 ,
731 pounds of milk. This Is the high
est mature 305-day Jersey record ever
made in Missouri, the specialists
said. The new champion has been
awarded a gold medal by the Amer
ican Jersey Cattle club, New York.
In a previous test made When she
was a two-year-old. Queen produced
526.25 pounds of fat and 11,025 pounds
of milk In 365 days.
Another Jersey cow. Campus Love

year-old record for Missouri by pro

This cow also was tested as a junior
two-year-old, when she produced
460.84 pounds of butterfat and 7,456
pounds of milk in 365 days.
Silage Must Be Given
Serious Consideration
The dairyman who is milking ten or
more cows in the corn belt can well
afford to consider the advisability of
using silage for his cows. Dairy cows
need succulence In their ration to pro
duce to the best advantage,
makes a large-amount of feed per acre
when It is converted Into silage and
provides the succulence that dairy
cowa need when pasture Is not avail
able.
Some of the larger dairymen find a
profitable use for two silos. A large *
silo la used for winter and a smaller
ffllo to used for summer, ta.thlg
scheme the men are able to provide a
succulent feed for their cows at any
season of the year. If It happens to
be a very moist year and the pastures
remain good, the silage in the small
silo Is carried over or fed to some
