Hooseaold kelpa and A good radio ground is fully as Important as a good aerial. AA good ground will not only increase signal strength a great deal but will make the- set much more sel ective and in addition will give clearer signals with less noise. . ' When speaking' of it good ground, we refer to one that has a low electrical resistance, . There are many ways in which to make a good ground." f Probably the most commonly used is the cold water pipe. This i makes a good ground- under certain conditions. The ground wire should be of cop per and not smaller than No. 14, B. S. gnage. . It should be as short and direct as possible and shonld connect to the pipe as near the place where it enters the build ing as possible and should be fas tened to the pipe with ; a good ground clamp, v f f - Another Tery good rround can be made by burying a copper or galvanized Iron i sheet in the ground In a good moist spot. The sheet should be several feet square and should hare the ground wire soldered to it and should be bur led several fet deep to Insure suf ficient moisture during the. sum mer months. , - . , ' ' 10 :00-11 :00 KGW. ?

' f - "An important function of these fans In the radio Industry, Is to exhaust from the electric plating rooms, the poisonous . lead oxide vapors and fumes which usually gather in dangerous proportions. Several of the big companies hare installed giant air washers to re move acid fumes from the air which usually eat Into the gener ators which charge the batteries and destroy the sets.

"When ' the American mother sends t her kiddies to school now she does so with a greater assur ance that they . will not fall vic tim to respiratory- and other dis eases resulting from poor air con ditions which formerly obtained from loose, haphazard methods of ventilations . . . "The fan industry through. Its research and development ' has helped to achieve one, of the won ders of all times by furnishing ventilation for the Holland Vehic ular tunnel between New York and New Jersey which was opened to the public this' month.
