vrl discussing regeneration we may
1 1 imagine the signals passing
through the tube once, to be am
plified, then passing through again,
to be further amplified, and again
and again, to be still further am

got at least a general idea of the
meaning: of regeneration. However,
many scientists -believe that this
viewpoint is not ' Strictly accurate.

The amount of .energy that is
transferred from the first coil to
the second depends, amor? other
things, upon how close to each other
the coils are placed. This is equiva
lent to saying that the amount of
energy transferred from the first

upon how well the magnetic field of
the first coil interlinks the second
coil. j - ' 1
Suppose a coil is placed in the in
put circuit of a radio tube, and an
other coil is placed in the output!
circuit. Suppose that these coils are
placed far apart. Then the circuit
may-be so adjusted that they have
practically no' effect on the amplifi
cation of thej tube, that is, on the
ratio of the output current to the
input current,
The varying input current causes
a varying magnetic field to be set
up about the coil -in that circuit.
The varying output current of
much greater! strength than the in
put current, on account of the am
plification of the tube causes a
stronger" varying magnetic field to
be set up about the coil in that cir-i
cuit. - ' i ; j
; Suppose 'the two coils are brought
close together. Then their magnetic
fields .will reinforce each other, re4
suiting in a very strong total varia4
tion of magnetic field. These strong
variations of i magnetic ; field will
cause strong j variations of the cur
rent in the coils. Thus the grid
current variations and plate current
variations will be much greater than
when the coils were far apart. -- i
Every, variation of grid eurrent
will be 1 accompanied by a much
larger ' corresponding variation of
plate current, due to the amplify
ing properties i turn tube. This
fact and the: fact that the grid cur
rent and plate current reinfow
each other through the medium of
tne transformer, work hand m hand
to produce the great amplification
of the impressed - signals that is

Despite the fact that there has

Thomas P. Henry, president of
the American Automobile Associa
tion, is uiging all motorists" to
continue unabated their efforts

traffic year.! lie deplores the at
titude of the Car owner who feels
that he can let down on precau
tions because conditions are show
ing some improvemnt. ,
i Mr. Henry's; appeal is based on
the discovery jtftat directly after
showing a clean slate for a month
or so many cities immediately fall
back into a run of accidents and
traffic deaths. 1
"This condition is the result of
a let down in individual vigi
lance," Mr. Henry explains. "The
only remedy is to forget that there
has been any material improve
ment and , to proceed just as
though matters were growing
worse. We can have no perman
ent improvement, until we cease
regarding temporary ' improve-
rents as final.' (.: Jj : j
Following this statement from
he AAA president, 689 secretar
es representing as many motor
clubs affiliated with the national
organization, will urge upon
members as well as upon local
motorists the necessity of making
a thorough job of reducing the
1925 automobile and traffic mor

Performance Record As
I Reason for Popularity
Official figures ; from Detroit
for the first quarter of 1925 show
that .Graham . Brothers rank first,
in the world in the produuetion
and salo of 1 Vt ton trucks. I ; i
In the 1 ton and 1 ton truck
fields combined they were sur
passed only by Ford. "This in
formation , may be : surprising to
the general public," said Russell
Bonesteele of the ; Bonesteele Mo
tor company, local Dodge Brothers
dealers, "but not to us, nor to
those familiar with the perform
ance of Graham Brothers trucks
and with their rapid ascendancy
in the Industry during the last
three years." 1 :-. :-.. ;v I.
"Their advance has been with
out ostentation. There has been
no blare of trumpets, no exagger
ated claims. It has been a steady
wholesome growth, based entirely
upon the 1 track's performance." ;
. Less than three years ago Gra
ham Brothers were- in twentieth
position. Now they are manufac
turing trucks at the rate of over
100 a day, marketing their en
tire "output through- Dodge Broth
ers dealers. This sales and service
advantage of a strong dealer or
ganization, combined with the ex
ceptional merit of the truck its
self, is regarded as ' one of the
chief reasons for the rapid ad
vance to leadership. Dodge Broth

Over Corresponding Month
- ' Last Year
The state tax on gasoline and dis
tillate collected on sales made
during the month of March, 1925,
amoutnted ; to $211,366.41, ac
cording to . a statement compiled
by Secretary of State ?am, A.
Kozer." ' '
To. date the motor venicle fuels
tax measures have brought to the
state treasury the total sum of
$8,267,176.86. Of ; the amount
collected "under the law of 1921,
there has ben returned up to April
30, 1925, the sum of $256,950.86
to operators of farm tractors, mo
tor boats, commercial cleaning
establishments, etc., pursuant to
that provision authorizing refunds
of taxes on such vehicles upon the
public highways. i
Two important amendments to
the refund law were made by the
recent legislature. The time for
filing claims for refunds, at pres
.95
ent 90 days, was extended to one
year, and the rate of refund on
distillate was changed to 2 cents
per gallon, to include the tax paid
under the law of 1919. These
changes will be effective on and
after May 28 next. The refund
rate on gasoline will remain at
2 cents, as at present, and the in
creased rale on distillate will ap
ply ;only to purchases made after
the new law becomes effective.
March taxes, were remitted on
6,665,375 gallons of gasoline and
45&L725 gallons of distillate. 'Of
the! total collected, the sum " of
$68, 936.39 resulted from xhe op
eration of the original law impos
ing; a tax of one cent per gallon
on gasoline and one-half-cent per
gaflon on distillate, while $142,
430.02 was returned under the ad
ditional' tax law providing for an
uniform, rate of two cents per gal
lon! on all kinds of motor vehicle
fuels. ; ' '.' - . "
As compared with llarch 1924.
gasoline sales increased approxi
mately 16 per cent, distillate ad
vancing about 30 per cent.
Motor vehicle fuel taxes are
credited to the state highway fund
becoming available for expendi
ture in the construction and main
tenance of state highways.

But had you thought had you realized what a ter
rific physical strain this must have been on the
driver? " :
And had it occurred to you that aside from its power,
its speed and its wonderful 4-wheej brakes, there
must be another quality, in the car to make that
physical feat possible? j : ; .
There is the famous Rickenbacker "cradle springs."
No racing driver will attempt great speed on a smooth
track with any other type of springs.
And even "Cannon Ball Baker" man of iron as he is,
with sinews of steel, says he never could have en
dured the thumping his body would have received
but for this Rickenbacker system of springs.
Just think! ' l
Coast to Coast in mid-winter 3166.5 miles in 71

But on that trip the driver slept and even rested for
brief spells. On those other phenomenal drives

off the best previous record. If

Here was the roughest road of all. f
Cradle springs, balloon tire3 and the deep cushions of

protected the person of the driver,! while the perfect
balance, road-ability and precision steering, gave
stability at speed and really made these records
possible in a stock 6-cylinder car. j .

In the other direction 104,673 passed,
giving a total of 210,312, It is in

As would be supposed, the great
