Let'oa take them up one by one. First Is the receiver with the guar antee range of 5000 rnilesunder all conditions,! There have been such advertisements. Now it is one thing to guarantee that a cer tain range is possible it may very well be but it is another thing to guarantee that range under all conditions. It simply Is not pos sible.

So much for that . . EAA 1 n 1 n n n 1 AAA - Now for the "no interference" receive. Thi is a pretty strong claim, and - we personally would bate tc have to make good on it. Put a receiver within, half a mile of a good big commercial spark operating on 450 or 600 meters and then try to receive a broad caster 00 miles away and 40, or even 100 meters off the wave of the commercial transmitter. Per haps aJVery good superheterodyne might possibly give fair reception. But pick a broadcasting station only 10 meters away from the commercial and we doubt if there is a single receiver now offered to the public that .would be able to receive' the phone without a tre mendous amount of interference from the spark. , Receivers can be made 'to tune very sharply, but it m m mm ivy i rj rr. 7r? Hi With a full sense of the serious ness of the statement carefully weighing the meaning of every word Chrysler-Maxwell engi neers, without reservation, promise you, in this new Maxwell, ; performance surpassing in every! essential any four-cylinder car in the world today.

To go still further into details, the ! new Maxwell has speed capacities i far beyond any car of its type and class, and in the rare instances in which they may have to be used, i will register them with an absence . li j i I t t i ir of vibration without precedent in four-cylinder construction. Chrysler-Maxwell engineers have been actuated by the conviction that in addition to its inherent OSCAR 7. -tf- . lu dangerous to claim that they will cut out all Interference.

First attaining popularity in the netutrodyne circuit, the scheme has spread to jbany other types of j radio-frequency anYplifi ers, where its; greater amplifica tion due to critical tuning as caused it; to become decidedly more popular I than the fixed transformers j which,' although more convenient, give less ampli fication. ; Lately there; has been develop ed a non-oscillating radio-frequency amplifier which does not use any stabilizing or . compensat ing devices. This amplifier uses a special transformer in which a very small primary is used usu ally about six - turns. Even neu trodyne transformers are designed somewhat along these lines, as the primary turns j of the average ntutroformer rarely run above 15 in number, and are more often 10 or 12. With such transformers it has often been found possible to leave out the neutrodon'-capac- I ity entirely, and still not have os- WE'LL SHOW YOU HOW If you don't know. alredy.

This is because of the loose coupling land hence small transfer of energy between the primary and secondary circuits, cause by making the primary small with respect to the second ary. ,. . j ; i : Recent experiments are against using the small primary however, either in neutrodyne or in other types of- transformer.

Suf fice it to say that in laboratory tests a neutrodyne transformer wound with a 30-turn primary concentrated at one end of .the secondary winding gave nearly twice the amplification of the same transformed using the cus tomary 12-turn primary.

FltAMKf ORT.Ky., Nov. 13. In the mountatrr cm district of Kentucky are two schools, "l3erea college, the largest and most wide ly known mountain school of the south, and Witherspoon college, another large institution! but the least known among 200 mountain schools. The students at Berea work their way, training, to teach, in the professions of law, farming and business.' Their expenses are negligible but their means are limited. President William 'J. Hutchins points out. The enroll ment runs aa high- as 2,738 stu dents, i who come from the neigh boring mountains. J - The system is one of self-support. The faculty has arranged that the students may work half a day and study Jialf a day. While President Hutchins' son's . educa tion costs more than JS 1,000 a year at a prominent university, the students here average $146 annual expenditure. Most of them do not have that much mon ey so they receive faculty loans of $30 each, then work out the remainder of their expenses. -The dedication of the new home economics building brought out the largest body of mountain men and women ever assembled. It was considered a demonstrative response to the campaign against illiteracy, one of the features of which was the inauguration cf "moonlight schools' for illiterate adults. ' , , . Governor Fields recently dedi cated the latest addition to, With erspoon college, a gymnasium of rough hewn timber, to reach which he and his party made much of the journey on mules. The school is located in a pocket be tween high mountains. The gym nasium was built entirely by the community, situated on Squabble creek, a half mile from its con fluence with the Kentucky river. . A non-sectarian institution, an orphanage and two branch schools, it is supported chiefly by the La fayette Avenue Presbyterian church, Brooklyn. Although one of the largest schools, in the mountains it is little known with in the state. Twenty-one years ago Harvey S. Murdoch, president, came from Brooklyn to found a College ' in the mountains. tXcxt year, with completion of the building of high and grade schools, his' original purpose Will have been achieved. s 1MB VILLAGE Many Changes are Noted Around Capital of Form er Great Power i BERLIN', Nov. 13.

ICELANDIC POETS WaCDIUIEAVIATORS Around the World Fliers Greeted With Verse Upon , k Their Arrival HOFN HORNAFJORD. Iceland, Sov. (AP) When an Iceland ic poet wrote a song to the tune of "Yankee Doodle," celebrating the arrival here of the American globe-encircling airmen on their long journey across tho Atlantic, it was rather a special occasion for the Americans, and the Ameri can translation was adopted and sung by some of the sailors from the cruiser Raleigh, which(lay off the fjord to mother" the flight. But it was nothing new : for Hornafjord, where, even children chant songs of their own composi-rj tlon, and" the sagas of the old Norse vikings who, more than 1000 years ago swept these north ern eeas, are' handed down from generation to generation in the language (in iwhich they were orig inally sung,, faithful to . the old texts.. For Iceland has a remark ably rich literature of its own, both written and' oral,1 and poetry is especially adapted to the Ice landic tongue. . -In Hofn Hornafjord, isolated from the rest of Iceland by Im passable mountains and seas that are often too stormy to allow the paneage of the small Icelandic passenger vessels, many of the old viking customs are still observed. These include the gathering of the family each evening during the long, almost sunless winter, when sagas are chanted and the heroic deeds of, ' the old Norsemen re counted. No longer do the , Ice landers live in turf huts, as did their, ancestors, and Hornafjord has modern homes of galvanized iron and cement, but the family 'gathering is as important today as it was 1000 years ago. The women drees in their quaint gowns of black silk, often em broidered in silver and gold, and wear the little black national cap or bonnet, a heritage of the early Norse settlers. In the long winter nights there Is little to day and the evenings are devoted to the arts, literature, music, fainting and drawing. Manyfof the villag ers are graduates of the National University at Rey javik. and others have been educated at Copenhagen or other continental capitols.

From these records, the aver age gasoline mileage per gallon and the' number of miles per quart of oil will be computed, which will tell , a most comprehensive story of gasoline mileage and oil consumption. The result will pre sent a truthful, crosW-section pic ture of the average mileage and o!l consumption that may be ex pected from a Chevrolet any place in the country. Why the recprds may be taken by the ordinary motor car owner as1 evidence of what he may ex pect in every-day Chevrolet driv ing is due to the following condi tions under which the runs were made: Regular stock cars were used. Each car was driven, in relay, by six to eight persons, many of those driving being persons out side the particular organization. Thus, it was1 not a case of skilled drivers who know all the tricks of getting high gasoline mileage. Bad roads as well as good roads were chosen and every car was driven through city traffic, which cuts down high gasoline mileage. Reports from dealers show that every variety of speed was used, at different times, regardless of the most economical speed .for low gasoline mileage. ' A large percentage of the runs were non-stop performances, the motor being kept running while drivers werebeing changed or oil or gasoline being' taken on. As might be expected in a nation-wide demonstration,"" "there, were handicaps !of rain, fog,, city traffic, railroad crossings, loose gravel and rough dirt roads. ' Many of the cars made intens ive runs, going through every city and town in a given country and over practically all roads. One dealer used 14 different drivers, four women and ten men and car ried 22 passengers during the run. Another dealer had the driving done entirely by persons outside his organization. . Many of the dealers had their speedometers sealed by local officials. And nearly all the dealers exhibited their cars after, the fun In their showroom when prizes were awarded in the guessing contests as to the mileage made by the various cars during the 100-hour ran.
