If Back Hurts Begin on Salts Cam Compensator for Uni-Control Facilitates Manufacture of Sets to Tune With Simi lar Dial Readings. The use of a single dial for con trolling the wave changing devices contained In a radio receiving set seems to he the goal In modern con struction. The problem has been to design a device of such a simple na ture that its cost would allow it to be used In reasonably low-priced sets. The Invention of a Washington man appears to be a step In this direction. This provides a means of vafying the wave length of the several circuits simultaneously with the exact rela tionship required, by a means that does away with ponderous and expen sive methods heretofore proposed. In sets normally using two or more control dials for tuning, the slight ture of which is a caux The cam Is a very preclre means of producing In tricate movements In machinery and consists of a disk on which rests one arm of a lever.

Figure 2, Illustrates how the capacity of a condenser may be caused to vary from normal by a bent stator plate. This Is greatly ex aggerated for the sake of clearness. The dent In the plate at point A will cause a slight decrease In the capacity from that normally had when the plate follows the dotted line. This decrease Is to be made up by compensation. The condenser marked C and controlled by the cam Is the compensating condenser and M the main condenser. The two are con nected as shown and then to the In ductance, as In Figure 1. Any num ber of these units may be mounted on the same shaff. The outline of the cam, D, Is marked out from points found by 1 of the circuit on differ ent wave lengths.

A New Jersey agricultural bulletin sug gests the following ointment: Five parts of refined petroleum, three parts of glycerin, and one part of turpen tine by volume. This should be ap plied gently and rubbed in fulrly well. Remove the black dead tissue from badly frozen combs, so that th'y will heal more quickly. “At this time of year many flocks suffer from frozen combs. This trou ble Is particularly bud with roosters of the single-comb White Leghorn breed because their combs are so big. If a rooster’s comb Is bndly frozen. It seriously affects his vigor and Im pairs his usefulness In the flock.” Poultrymeu at the stute college say that the best farmers In the stute put their roosters In the breeding pens early in the winter and watch them carefully during the coldest weuther so as to minimize the danger of freez ing. The college recommends curtains In front of the roost on very cold nights In narrow houses. This Is uot recommended in houses thnt are wider thun 15 feet. Another suggestion Is the use of wooden floats with 1-Inch holes In them to be placed In the drinking vessels. This reduces the danger of freezing, as It keeps the birds from dipping their wattles In the water when they drink. In exceptional cases, It may be well to grease the combs and wattles of especially valuable birds during cold weather.
