Amateur radio operators of Indiana,
who are members of the American
Radio Relay League, are planning
their .secohd annual "et-to-gether'
early next month.
The affair is to be a regular state

place at Indianapells, Ind., on July
xoth and nth. A good time -is prom-

Oscillating Receivers
The people in the state of Connecti-
• cut are tired of listening to those os-
eillating receiving sets which radiate
and spoil broadcast reception.
• Radio enthusiasts in that state have
become interested in the bill •before
the legislature which prohibits any
sort of interference with broadcasting
and the west, The signals meting
from the east were found to be some-
what stronger than those coining
from the opposite direction.

Amateur Transmitters in
Emergency Services
During the stormy weather per-
iod this spring, amateur radio •opera-
tors, have on a number of occasions,
demonstrated their value in emergen-
cy communication. Members of the
American Radio Relay League have
frequently been of great assistance to
the railroads in maintaining communi-
cation between the various division
headquarters. They also rendered
valuable services when the cyclone in
southern Illinois cut off the wire lin-
es to the stricken section.
A British amateur near London re-
cently rendered valuable service by
forwarding an important message
from the Royal Air Force in Mosul,
.Asiatic Turkey, to the Air Ministry
4,I,. in London. In an hour's time the
te"--45, operator had delivered an answer
back to the forces in Mosul.

Other states are contemplating sim-

noyance.
Extreme Radio Locations
The world's most southern radio
station is located in the ant -arctic on
- one of the South Orkney Islands.
The world's highest radio station is
believed to be the one which is locat-
ed in the Pyrenees Mountains near
the Spanish border. This station is
.approximately gsoo feet above the sea
level. Because of its unusual height,
this station is expected to furnish
-scene interesting information on both
telegraphy and telephony.

Two-Way Reception
Now that radio signals are fre-
quently being received on the oppoe
site side •of the earth, it looks as
though this world were not quite
large enough to give the waves a
• chance to fully'do their stuff."
• When signals are being reeeived
rox-n half way around the world it is
s„ question whether they are coming
from the east, fron the west, or from
over the top of the globe.
'According • to directional tests, car-
ried out in Australia, signals from
America arrive from both the east

Spare Tubes
A Chicagei. radio addict, who is
quite evidently influenced. by the cur-
rent automobile styles, suggests that
radio receivers be equipped with
spare tubes for eniergency purposes,
This might not be such a bad idea, at
that, for the portable sets. ' Perhaps
the radio cabinets of the future will
have a place provided in the rear for
strapping ou a couple of extra tubes
as "spares." Thus, if a man gets a
"blowout" when he is away from
home, he replaces the "inner tube"
with one of the "spares" from the

a
rear of his cabinet, and has the "blow-
out" repaired at his leisure.
As is the case with the extra auto-
mobile tires, the spare tubes will pro-
bably have to be chained in place to
prevent pilfering, Perhaps also, there
will be a compartment in the lower
part of the cabinet for holding a tool
kit.

M. E. IL says: "I followed your strtwtiorzs in the building of the reflex
receiver •but ani unable to tune in the
stations with the higher wave lengths,
What is the reason for this?"
Axis, -It is probable that your vari-
able condensers may not have enough
capacity even. though they have the
proper number of plates.

A. McM. says; -"I am expecting to
add a tube amplifier to my crystal
set, • Is it best to use this tube as a
R. F. or an A, F. amplifier?"
Ans.-The R. F. amplifier will
greatly inerease the selectivity of the
receiver and also the sensitivity. You
will get somewhat louder signals how-
ever, by using the tube as an A. F.
amplifier,

To Remove Mud
When you get mud on your silk
skirt -do not brush. Let mud dry.
Wrap piece of velvet or velveteen
around your finger and rub off dried
mud. If mud has left a stain care-
fully rub it with a cloth dipped in am-
monia and water.

Mr. A. G. Smith;
Editor Wingham Advance -Times
Dear Sir:
Through the medium of your paper
I wish to place on record my sincere
and heartiest thanks for the splendid
way in which the community at large
helped to make our "Self Denial"
drive and the visit of the London
Band such successes.
• The Lions Club, Business sections,
Residential section, and country dis-
tricts did away above anything before
raised in any individual effort. The
total receipts were $45o.00 of which
$20.8o went for travelling expenses,
postage and smaller sundry items,
leaving a balance of $439.11, •which
• was forwarded to the chief office in
, London.
1 The visit of the Lofidon Citadel
1Band was also made a greater success
by the kind friends who looked after
the temporal needs of the bandsmen.
IMrs. Forbes and members of the
;Women's Institute, deserve great
praise for the splendid welcome sup-
per which they so daintily prepared
and served in the Council Chamber.
