The special music rendered by the

The+ sanctuary of memory; the sans
Mr, Ford Sothern has rented his tuai•y of silence; the sanctuary of
worship; the sanctuary of the soul.
The morning address was an appeal
to make life worth while by reviewing
the promises, of God for the Christian
and the inany places in one's life
where the eternal has penetrated the
inner soul. The pastor reviewed the
hallowed hours which memory recalls.
Memory is all that we possess of the
past, It is the' museum of the mind
where' things rare, costly and beauti-
ful are found. David Lloyd C?eorge
tells us that when the . war . problems
pressed hardest and when the skies
were black, he could find one way, to
relaic his mind; he chanted over the
old Welsh .hymns he sang in his boy-
hole/4 days. What sweet recollections
press in upon us when we think of the.

(Radio Engineer)
The many requests which have been
coming in for a good crystal receiver
a 1 s e t
have shown that the old cryst
has not been entirely superseded by
the tube outfits. This is, in a way, a
compliment to •the •musical taste of
the crystal set listeners. I have yet
to find 'a true music lover who does
not acknowledge the superior quality
of the crystal 'detector reproduction,
English radio listeners, who adn.•tit
that they are more appreciative of
good music than are the Americans,
are seventy-five per cent crystal set
users. Further recommendations of
the crystal receivers are their cheap
and simple construction, and• their
simplicity of operation.
The defects of the old crystal sets
the" broad tuning and weak signals
still remain, but the application of filtered out sufficiently by using the
modern coil construction lras made proper condensers and iron core
chokes.

Q.—A L., jr., asks:—"Would it be
possible to build a 'portable receiver
using UV»xge tubes and with flash --
light batteries for their filaments?
Ans.:-Yes, but, with such small A
batteries you could not " expect very
steady filament current, or a very long
life for the batteries. '
This receiver has been used with
excellent results on stations within a
25 -mile radius, and under favorable
conditions, on stations at much great
er distances.

Radio Questions and Answers
(Mr. Sherrill will be- glad. to help
you solve your radio- problems.
Write him in care of this paper.)
Q.e-S. 0. V. asks: 'It is possible to
filttr out the hum on a battery char-
ger so as to be able to use the recei-
ver while the battery is . being char-
ged?"
Ates.:—On, charges which rectify
both sides of the cycle, the charging
of the battery will make very little
hum in the receiver. On charges
rctifying only one side of the cycle,
the hum is 'very strong, but may be
considerable 'improvement.
The receiver described here is de-
signed more for sharp tuning than fpr
loud signals, and should prove espe-
cially effective whore there are sever-
al nearby stations. It is intended fpr
use with a 5o to loo foot antenna.
See Diagram
The secondary inductance, shown as.
L2 in the diagram consists of 38 turns
of 20 gauge D.C.C. wire wound ort a 5
inch diameter•. The turns should be
evenly wound and spaced from each
other by ;the thickness of the wire it-
self. The coil may be wound direct-
ly ontoa piece of cardboard tubing,
or better yet, may be of the an core
type and held away from the cardbo-
ard by six wooden ribs.
The primary winding Ls, is of the
sable site wire and is wotmtnd' directly
over the lower half of the secondary.
This winding, wliiclt consists of x5
turns, is spaced the same as the sec-
ondary and is separated from it by
two layers of fairly heavy wrapping
paper, The primary is tapped, as
shown in the diagram, at 5, "to and 15

Q.—E. I. M. asks: "Should the de-
tector tube of a: five tube set have a
separate filament rheostat?"
Ansa—With tion -critical tubes, such
as the UV-2oxA and IJV-xgg, it is not
really necessary to use a separate' fila-
ment control for the detector.
