LEGION TO GET GREAT WELCOME BLOOMINGTON, IIl., July 18.-- Several countries of Europe are making elaborate preparation for the reception of a group of distin-- guished American veterans, includ-- ing Gen.

The itinerary for the tour will in-- clude Nice, Monte Carlo, Genoa, Rome, Lucerne, Strasbourg, Metz, Brusseis, Antwerp and London. The governments of the countries to be visited have extended officia} invi-- tations to the party and will act as nosts for the legionnaires while in the country. Receptions will be held not only by the governments but by the cities visited en route. While in Italy the delegation will be received by the kind of Italy, Premier Mussolini, and the Itaban veterans. in Genoa a special} cere-- mo@y will be held by the legion del-- egation at the monument of Chris-- topher Columbus, which was erect-- ed to commemorate his discovery»--of In Switzerland the party will be entertained by the Swiss govern-- ment and by 'the city of Lucerne. The visit to the famous provinces of Alsace and Lorraine will be an outstanding one. > Elaborate recep-- tions have been plarned both in Strassbourg and Metz. In Brusseils, King Albert will greet the legionnaires, specia) func-- tions have been ararnged by the Belgian veterans, and the cities of Brussels, and Antwerp will make specia} arrangements for entertain-- ments. . A long program of ceremonies will greet the legionnaires in Lon-- don.

While ten years of experience have proved the value of the farm loan system, it has aiso developed certain faults that demand atten-- tion. The framers of the farm loan act could not foresee every eventu-- ality, and, as a result, some of the banks of the system have themselves attempted to interpret certain of the provisions of the act where the procedure was not specific, and usually to their own profit. _ This practice, if continued, will undoubtedly be harmful to the sys-- tem as a whole, as "it generally takes the form of accounting prac-- tices which, in themselves, may not be improper, but are at the least not conservative. -- Night Clubs Are Haunts of _ Old Who Can Pay Prices The enactment of a bill which would require the approval of the secretary of the treasury to invest-- ment of a bank's reserves and to provide meants to enforce the liabil-- ity of shareholders and to guard against evasions of this liability by timely share transfers, should have two beneficial results. It should in-- crease the confidence of the public in the securities of the system, while the farm loan board, relieved of the routine duty of examining the banks of the system, would be given increased opportunity to devise means of extending services to agri-- culture under the act. Increase of public confidence in the securities of the system would result from the knowledge that the treasury department has had a long experience in the examination of banking systems.

The haphazard use of by--pass con-- densers and series choke coils should be caretully avoided if quality is an ubject in the receiver. We hear iecommenaations about connecting a condenser across the loudspeaker terminals to make the tone mellow. and similar suggestions for putting condensers across the coupling im-- pedances and transformer windings. The size of recommended condenser is always between .005 and .005 Now, if by--passing is the way to obtain mellowness and if this in turn is a desirable quality, why should one limit the size to conden-- sersof Q05 .mfd?© A much greater mellowness can be obtained by con-- necting a 5 mfd. condenser across the loudspeaker terminals, or across the line anywhere. It has a won-- derful mellowing effect! After having introduced this mel-- lowness by connecting large by-- pass condensers afross the line here and there, the perpetrator com-- plains that speech is unintelligible on the loudspeaker and that sopra-- nos do not sound natural. The fault, of course, is not with the receiver. Has not that been endowed with the acme of mellowness? No, the fault lies with the transmitter. The modulaticn is faulty. Or the trou-- ble might be blamed on teh weath-- er! Connecting condensers across the line is not the only way of setting meliowness. It can also be brought about by connecting choke coils in series with the line. Just as con-- densers by--pass high frequency currents when the condensers are put across the line, so the cheke coils will suppress them when they are connected in series with the line When both series choke coils and shunt condensers are used a high degree of mellowrtess can be as-- sured. In fact, so complete can the mellowness be made that only the basses can be heard. Now, if both shunt condensers and series choke coils are not enough to mellow the signal they can be greatly aided by an excessively se-- letcive tuning system. Each tuned cireuit can be made of a low--loss By J. E. M. CHISHOLM, JR. Another Mellowing Influence. P\ ross coil and a low--loss condenser. and some regeneration can be added be-- sides. Then on top of that the re-- ceiver can be made into a super-- heterodyne with highly selective circuits in the intermediate filter. The mellowness will be very great. Now that mellowness has been achieved in a very high degree, the quality should be highly pleasing, and mellow. The fact that specch is unintelligible is of no importance. neither is the fact that nothing but the tuba can be heard! Tuba or Not Tuba? But can the tuba be heard" Not on many sets. The use of too small stopping condensers in direct cou-- pled circuits, low values of grid leak resistances, high ratio, low in-- ductance audio transformers, and low inductance coupling impedances prevent the amplification of the low notes. Hence when the tone has been mellowed in the majority of sets, nothing is left to listen to. Of course, no offense is given to the cars. Another thing _ that militates against the high notes and thus aids in making the received sound mel-- low is the shunting effect of the grid dircuit in resistance coupled amplifiers. The impedance of the grid circuit of a vacuum tube is supposed to be infinite, but it is not. There js some capacity between the electrodes. The actual capacity is very small but the effective capacity may be quite large. It depends on tke actual capacity, on the fre-- cuency, on the mu of the tube and on the resistance in the load of the tube. The higher all these are, the higher is the effective capacity of higher is the eff te input or grid c May Go As Hig The plate to gt tube may not be 25 mmfd., but the in resistance cou high mu tubes m The plate to grid capacity of the tube may not be greater than 5 to 25 mmfd., but the effective capacity in resistance coupled circuits with high mu tubes may go up as high as .0005 mfd. This capacity is in shunt with the line and acts a«s a by-- pass condenser. -- Consequently the ampnlification of the high frequencies will not be as great as that of the low. If there are three stages in the amplifier there will be three of these shunt condensers. and if each one is effectively 0015 mfd the one If elleci total shunting a condenser c This by--pass effert is unavoid-- able and hence the distortion result-- ing from it must be either tolerated or compensated.
