TRY FOR NATIONAL CHILD LABOR LAW WASHINGTON, May 17.—Another attempt to give congress control of child labor was made. Radio Department Edited by FELIX FRUER (A VACUUM TUBE FOR 90 CENTS) This radio vacuum tube is constructed from a Ford double filament clear headlight bulb. First, disconnect the two filaments by unsoldering the leads at the base of the plug. Next burn out the coiled filament by overloading. The two parts of the burnt out filament are used as the plate and grid (largest part used as plate). The grift condenser used with this tube should be about .0005 microforads capacity or greater. This tube will operate as a detector or amplifier, especially as an amplifier. The receiving ability of this tube depends upon the adjustment of the filament and plate voltages which is very critical until the tube has been used for some time. HINTS Mica diaphragms can be used on ordinary phones if a thin steel button the size of a dime is glued to the center of each. Silver ore makes good detector material. Iron wire can be used on receiving antennas. 4TH CONTINUANCE OF HARRY FOX CASE The fourth continuance of the case of Harry Fox, Anaheim accused of stripping some 19 Chevrolet cars and seeing the parts, and of forging the name of his sweetheart's mother, Mrs. Dora Domries, to various checks for considerable amounts, was announced yesterday.
