Itaitlo llecttlvligc Tube J. H. Mojr and J. K. Womtol. Re viewed by Jewell Waddell. 'Several yearn ago Thomas Edl Hon, while experlmenUntf with one of lila newly Invented electric l.'ini'H, diHeoverd that by placing a umull piece of sheet metal In the Klobc an electric current would pasa from tho fllmament to "the other piece of metul In the globe. These rIoIicb, called valveH, be en tine they allowed current to paw tb rough them In only one direction were tried ntt detectors of . radio waves, but were found to be, Ineffi cient.,. Leo UeForest, however, at about 'hl time Invented a tube with a third element, which was destined to revolutionize rudio. A fourth element has been udded within the last few years. The fourth element, also a screen. Is uwed for greater amplification. J. A. Moyer and J. l' Worst el bavo written a book on these later developments of radio entitled "Kadlo Heeeivlnt? Tuhes." Muny book.H have been written about radio, for both laymen and techni cal experts, but none Is so precise, yet so clear and simple, as this one. In order to understand things which take place -in a tube one must understand tho fundamental electrical principles and properties of solenoids, condensers, unij resis tances. ' ' 4 ' When you have' read and studied this book,. you will he ablo to J.ake tho tubes from your receiving set und analyze them. You will know what kind of tube Is best for each tube socket In your set. '. Quite often you have wondered why your set would not work so well as the set of one of your friends. It might be the kind of tubes. The best way to find out Is to read an authority on the sub ject , Another use of radio tubes taken lp by the authors, is the. commer cial. ; Radio tubes are used to am plify publlo. addresses. They are used on long distance telephony, Tlie last musical Instrument to bo invented employs them, and they are .used to control boats, airplanes, torpedoes, and robots. This book Is the first of a series by the, authors. A review of the noJfV two books In this series will appear on tills puge In two weeks. l)CNtlny Bay By Donn Byrne. . Reviewed by Anna Mao Kuson. In "Destiny's Bay," Donn Byrne, Jho last of tho traditional Irish froveltsts, takes his readers Into a place of enchantment. Hero he reveals tho souls as well as tho outer aspects of tho lives of his people. In words that glow and sparkle ho brings out the tradi tions of the gullant MacKartanns. Botween the covers there are nine tulos deuling with lovo and com edy, romance and tragedy. -Destiny's Hay, a remote plnuo on tho north coast of Ireland, forms the setting for these lovely tales.

It iu an Atlantic Monthly press book, 1930. The chief charac ter, Marllla Walton, is a vital, en ergetic young New Kngland school teacher with high Ideals and lltllo or no experience. She marries for the sake of bringing up a 'family. The story deals with her struggle to adjust horself to the disappoint ment of being chlldlesB.. Tho author deals with Marllla In a way which has quite a little merit. , To begin with. Marllla Is a trifle smug, but after she is made to undergo one unaccustomed ex perience after another, she devel ops a genuinely wide and unselfish viewpoint on life.

They make up In drlvo what they have not In allure, as Miss Korbor rfolntedly says of Sabra. Their stories make satisfying reud lng; plenty of definite, Intimate details; shocking coincidences; nlco love scenos; dramatic death scones; and, confidently put, a great deal of the local color of lite In the United States. At the end, the story Implies that, after all, It was intended to be loss about Sahra than about the development of Oklahoma; gun l'lghts, Indians, oil.
