FREQUENCY AMPLIFICATION
amplification as can be obtained by
using two stages of radio frequency
with transformers. If more amplifi-
cation is desired than can be had
with a regenerative tube it is neces-
sary to use at least three stages.
The benefits accruing from the use
of a great amount of radio frequency
amplification are: it gives greater
sensitivity: smaller antennae or coll
antennae may be used: and. because
of the greater sensitivity. very loose-
iy coupled antenna and secondary
circuits may be used. resulting in a

dlo frequency amplifiers is where re-
volvers are located in apartment
houses or in other locations where
an efficient antenna cannot be erect-
ed. or when extremely weak stations
are to be received. The loud speak-
ing receiver with three stages of
radio frequency amplification usually
has at least six vacuum tubes. The
expense of ”maintaining the tubes
and batteries is. of course. greater
in proportion to the number of tubes
used.
During the summer months there
is a greater freedom from atmos-
phereic disturbaan when small as-
tenna or coils are used with the ra-
dio frequency amplification. This is
due to the fact that the email an-
tenna is less effected by atmospheric
disturbances. than is the large an-
tenna. in proportion to the energy
received from the transmitting sta-
tion. '.
, The development of tubes requir-
ing a small amount of filament ener-
gy and operating on dry coils should
give aconsiderablo impetus to the
development. of multistage radio fre-
quency amplifiers.
The elimination of the storage bat-
tery as a necessary part. of the re-_
ceiving equipment makes it. possible
for those who desire to operate ‘a
radio receiver in a well furnished
room. to do so without danger of in-
Juring the floor coverings and wood-
work.- The entire equipment using
dry cells may be enclosed in an at-
tractive cabinet and requires no at-
tention except an occasional renewal
of dry cells. .

Bob and,.Sam Bates. brothers. resi-
dents of the troublesome creek sec-
tion. invoked .45 calibre law to set-
tle their quarrel and today both
were dead. '
Enmity between the brothers was
said to have resulted from a dis-
agreement concerning settlement of
an. estate. including some valuable
coal and timber lands. left by that:
father. Finally. after friends had
prevented gun play on more than
one occasion, Sam. a boy of 17. was
said to have sent word to Bob that
he would give him 8100 to come
into the vicinity of the youngei‘
brother's residence.
Bob accepted the offer.
The brothers met on a laurel
fringed mountain trail yesterday.
They drew and fired—missed. Now
the sights were perfectly aligned. A
second roar from the heavy weapons
and both duellsts dropped. fatally
wounded.
A shred of blue powder smoke
drifted over the laurels. the erashv"
ing report of the pistols woke the
echoes along "Olc' Troublesome."
Bob Bates had earned one hundred
dollars he couldn't collect. and Sam
had lost a hundred he wouldn't have
to pay. '
A third Bates brother, Uriah. is
serving a life sentence in statmprison
for the murder of Elijah Sergeant.
who was slain near his home on In-

Convention Trail
\Vith Shaffer on the stand
members of the committee tried to
trace the present oil scandal back
to a series of alleged meetings pur-
ported to have been held in the
Blackstone Hotel in Chicago during.
the last Republican National Con-
vention. I
At that time certain Southern and
Western politiélans. some of whom
have died are declared to have
thrown their support to Mr. Hard-
ing with the understanding that
Senator Fall would be named as
Secretary" of the Interior in the
event of success at the polls.
The committee was unable to
substantiate this rumor in any way
today. The nearest that they could
come to it was to develop through
Mr. Shaffer that he had talked oil
lands with Fall soon after the latter
had taken office. and that. Fall as-
sured him he would get 200 acres of
land in the Teapot Dome section for
him when Sinclair took over that
reserve.
The oil committee decided yester-
day to undertake to run down anoth-
er of the many sensational rumors
that have been“spread about the na-
tional capital since the oil inquiry
starred. ’
It asked Edward B. McLean. the
Washington publisher to come here
at once from Florida for questioning
about reports that a 81.000.000 slush
fund had be sent to Washington
by New Yor financial- interests.
Just what relation the fund is
supposed to have to the oil leasing
negotiations to not revealed. A rumor
of such a mysterous fund has been
current here for several weeks. but
the uses to which it was to have
been put have been variously re-
ported.
' Mr. McLean also will be question-
ed further about his statement that
he loaned Albert 3. Fall $100,000
‘and his .later testimony that the
cheques for that amount were re-
turned to him by Mr. Fall uncash-

The forerunner of the vacuum ms:
was the experiment of Edison in
1888, when fie observed as. electric
current betwten the plate and a hot
filament in a~ vacuum. At use same
time some German scientists were
working on 3, The work of Bolton
was followed by -Preece. Fleming
and Thompson. English scientists.
It was not ‘until 1898 that Sir I.
J. Thompson suggested,an explana-

time Marconi introduced radio tele-
graphy. 81! J. A 2‘leming applied
the vacuum tube for detecting radio
signals in 1904. 1905 Dewar-est. an
American. changed this vacuum
tube. .The new tube was able to
amplify the signals. Then in 1918,
i‘. H. Armstrong invented an elec-
tric circuit. Which with this tube
was capable bf producing mediating
currents suitable for sending radio
waves or regenerating received aig~

. This, briefly. is the history of the
vacuum tube. Larger tubes of this
type are used at the broadening
stations. For transcontinental tele-
phone tran‘slfiission. telephone com-
‘panies are using a similar tube. In
appearance i‘ne vacuum who looks
somewhat lik'e an electric light bulb.
it has a glass bulb for maintaining
a vacuum. This bulb is sealed in a
metal base mounted inside the tube
there a a heated (ailment surround:
ed by a complicated metallic struct-
ure. The radio engineer knows this
as the grid and plate. The Outside
of the structure is a thin metal
plate formed' into a cylinder or an
oval. Between this plate and the
tfiament you will see a w'ra coil or
u. mesh. This is the g'Jd. Now
imagine :1 519.0311 of electrical partl-
and across the space through the
grid to the plate. This grid acts'
like a door.’ By opening and clos-
ing this door you can vary the am'-'
cunt of current that goes through;
only you open and close this door
electrically. find not mechanically.
Just like a small child can open
a door for a grown-up person. so
can the small electric currents open
a door for large electric currents.
That is exact’iy how a vacuum ”tube
works.
To produce this tube. the oclen~
Lists and engineers had to solve
quite a number of technical and
scientific problems. Years of re-
search and millions of dollars were
spent on. developing the materials.
the methods. 'ahd the machinery for
the manufacture of these tubes.
To give you an idea of what these
problems are: let us compare the
vacuum tube to an electric lig'ht
globe. In an electric light globe we
have a; vacuum which has about
one millionth of ordinary air. In I.
vacuum tube there is ten million
times less air than in an eloculc
light, globe. Imagine the“tbub‘. of
getting this vacuum. When you get
nearly this fir. the glass walls and
the metal parts inside of 11:81le
begin to give oi! gas. before Va-
cuum tubes were invented. the
scientists did' not know that the
glass and the metals could contain
gas. Now they had to find a way
to remove the gas. and make sure
not more gn§ would come out after
the tube is in service.- It may be
interesting to observe that with all
this vacuum an average lecctvlng
tube will still contain about ten ‘to
twenty billions of atoms of gas. You‘
have seen tubes with a bright "1.!
meat and a dim filament. some need
a storage battery. while others will
burn‘with a dry cell. It is scltnm
realized that dry cell tubes take
only one-twentieth as much power
”as a storage battery tube, yet It
