Ofttimet the individual complains
of the squeals and howls which he
experiences when tuning' in for any
broadcasting station. These howls
nd squeals are due part of the time
to the close proximity of radiating
regenerative receivers in the hands
of inexperienced or wilful broad
cast listeners.
, These regenerative receivers are
usually of the single circuit type and
when improperly adjusted, act as
miniature broadcasting stations and
heterodyne or "beat" with the in
coming signals. Not only do they
beat with the broadcasting station
signals, but alio with every other
improperly adjusted radiating re
generative receiver, thereby multi
plying manifold the disturbance and
discomfort of broadcast listeners.
This great annoyance can only be
eliminated by a campaign of educa
tion whereby the sale of radiating
regenerative receivers , h curbed,
those in existence properly rebuilt
sons to be unobjectionable, and by
instructing the users of these objec
tionable receivers as to the proper

In using' the automobile engine
for braking, it should be clear that
'he faster the engine is driven In

the greater will be the resistance
offered. On gradual declines the
resistance In high gear or direct
drive may be sufficient. On steep
