Sherrill "(Radio Engineer) Now that the time for vacations and touring trips is opprbaching, why not plan to carry a Radio Set with you? A good portable set is easily built, oc- cupies but little room and will add much pleasure to your vacation. If you are making an automobile trip, you can use regular storage bat- tery tubes, and just plug into the dash -light or .other socket on the ma- chine for your filament current. Or, UVIe9s or WD12s may be used and both the A and B batteries built • the set. fhe other apparatus below: 2, 500 nimf, variable (about 23 plate). z' Filament rheostat: 1 2o0-bhm potentiometer. 2 A. F. Transformers. i'Brownlie Crystal Detector. 2 500 .miff, by-pass condensers: I 200 nunf, by-pass condenser. 2 Dials,. i (4.5 to go volts) B battery. In order to save on.:strace, select parts " which are as small as possible even if it is .necessary: to sacrifice needed is listed As the diagram:.shows, both tulles' are controlled by the same rheostat. The crystal detector should be mount- ed close to:T 2 and the by-pass con- denser C-3 should be close to the cry- stal as shown. The Brownlie Crystal.

' Ans.-These may be obtained from B. T. Scott, 6o Pallister Ave., Detroit, Mich. F. T. asks: "If a 6 volt automobile generator may be used for charging his A and B batteries?" Ans.-The generator will charge any battery of 6 volts. It .will not do for charging 33 batteries unless . the cells are' specially connected in groups of about 6 volts •each. M. E. T. says: "I am using a 4 - tube Superdyne. receiver. Some dia- graius show a connection between the primary and secondary circuits and others omit this connection. What is that connection used for? It seems to make little or, no difference with my receiver." Ans.-The connection you mention simply grounds the A battery, The tuning will probably be more selec- tive without the connection. Using the connection will usually remove a lot of noises from the receiver.., into quality a little: See kEFLEXCl�CtHl-P.DATABLE SET Diagram The receiver may be mounted in` a *mall wooden box with a carrying stiap on the top, or better yet, antsy: "'be built into a small leather suit case. The requirements of a portable set are somewhat different from those of. .a peEmanent installation. For the -sake of room, of weight, and of sim- plicity, we must sacrifice to some ex "tent on'volunn and selectivity. The efficiency of the reflex circuit makes it ideal for use in a portable set. The diagram shows a suitable 2 tube re- fle".. circuit with a crystal detector. The tuning transformer and the re- flex .transformer may be hone -made; 200 OHM PorENr1QMETER The tuning and reflex transformers' shown T -x and T-2 in the diagram are made exactly alike. Each should be wound on a 3 inch piece of bakelite or dry cardboard tubing 2 inches long. The' secondary, which consists of 6o. turns of 26 gauge DCC copper wire, is wound on first. The primary, con- sisting of 10 turns of the same•wire, should be wound on top of the secoif- dary at the lower end of the winding. In mounting these transformers in the set, place them so they are separ- ated as nucli as possible, and so that their axes are at right angles to each other.

Agricultural Statistics for 1925 • it is announced by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics at Ottawa that the annual census of field crops and live stock for 1925 will he .made this June, These statistics aro collected jointly by the Dominion and Provin- cial Governments by means of card- board schedules issued to fanners through the rural 'school teachers and children, In British Columbia they are mailed direct to the ,farmers. These schedules call for the acreage sown this year to the principal field crops and for the numbers of farm animals alive on the farm in.. mid- June. The areas thus collected form the basis of the annual statistics of acreage and yield, It is very import- ant for all classes in Canada that cor- rect statistics of agricultural . produc- tion should be published, hutit is 'es- pecially so for farmers themselves who through co-operative wheat pools are now undertaking to -market their own wheat and other products; be- cause accurate statistics` are essential to the fixing of fair prices. Any far- mer who has not received the blank cardboard schedule through the rural school of his school district or other- wise by the middle of June should make immediate application for same, either to the teacher of the Public School District in which he resides, to the Provincial Department of Ag- riculture at the capital of his province,,. or to the Dominion Statistician at Ottawa. THE LOCAL WEEKLY PAPER (Froin the Carleton Place Canadian) We have examined pretty closely the weekly press of the province, the amount of advertising they carry and the patronage they receive and most of then are doing a work of love. They are boosting and pulling for their section and giving brain and brawn that does not receive the fin- ancial encouragement from the public that it should. A town would be a mighty poor one without a newspa- per, but they seldom find out until they have starved an editor to death. TIMELY ADVICE Know what todowith the time when it is saved. A full day's work turneth away the boss. The greatest need is more horse- power and less exhaust. Bargains are what friends got yes- terday that are all gone today.
