What Internatioaal Gotten
Rule Sunday Is
In the autumn of 1923 an interna­
tional group of social workers, meet­
ing in Geneva, Switzerland, expressed
despair of educating the world to the
better dpy of brotherhood through the
customary persuasions of war and di­
plomacy. Yet the aim was so infinite­
ly to be desired! Could the persua­
sion of the Golden Rule be made ef­
fective? If on an appointed day, say
the first Sunday in December, the
whole world should ait at a common
table, eat bread and salt, think of the
hungry and the sorrowing and make
a donation for their aid, would not a
great advance be made in practical
religion?
', The idea fired the imagination of
the world. Presidents, kings and
premiers; the Pope, religious leaders
and Patriarchs; powerful financiers,
influential statesmen, educators, la­
bor leaders, approved and led friends
and followers to- a community of
thought and feeling such as this old
round earth has never known. On
the third anniversary of International
Golden Rule Sunday fifty-thnee coun­
tries united in its observance and
contributed to the Near East Relief
orphans who are the foremost bene­
ficiaries. The day falls on December
2 this year.

this was in force until July 2, 1927. It

Function of Batteries
With Radio Receivers
The function of the radio “A" bat­
tery is to heat the filaments of the
vacuum tubes in the set. When the
filament Is hot enough It shoots off an
invisible stream of electron*. If some
other practical source of electrons
that did not require heat were put Into
tbe tubes, no “A” battery would be
necessary. The “A” battery is but an
auxiliary to th* action of the tube,
merely furnishing the heat, essentia!
to electron emission, and actually ha*
nothing to do with tbe Input or output
of the device.
The purpose of the “B” battery is
to provide a pull on the electron* so
they flow to tbe plate of the tube,
thereby causing a flow of current In
the plate drcult, which is called the
plate current It Is the variations In
the amount of plate current which
operate the loud speaker, so it Is evi­
dent that the “B" battery is directly
necessary.
;
Tbe ”C” battery furnishes practical­
ly no power, but keeps the grid ele­
ment in the vacuum tube at a certain
voltage.
