SCHOOL STUDY SPORTS "THE JUNIOR BRITISH WHIG BIGGEST LITTLE PAPER IN THE WORLD THE DA IL HUMOR PLAY WORK ! t ONE REEL YARNS | ®QENERAL" ON THE LOOK.OWUT Biff had been with the Big Show over since he was a boy. First he had started in with a tumbling team, but it was soon discovered that he was a skillful rider and a great lover of horses, so he was rigged up in a fine suit and sent Into the ring with ihe bareback riders. . however, was short and dumpy ig did net make much of a show in & fancy suit.. That is why he finally developed into a clown trick rider, and one of the best in the business, That Js also how he got General. General was a bedraggled white horse. Like Biff, he would never get anywhere because of his looks, but he had an intelligence that the sieek- est black horse in the ring might envy. He knew what Biff wanted him to do almost without being told. And once Biff had found General he refused to ride any other horse. It wasn't long before Biff and Gen- eral were known in every oity where the Big Show performed. The min- ute General came trotting out, in his slow, awkward way, with Biff bounc- ing on top of him, as though he would surely fall off any minute, there were cheers from the audience, Then one day General suffered his first great trouble. Biff came up - to him and patted him on the neck. "Fm not riding on you to-day, ol fellow," he sald. "I've promised to break in another horse for young Smiley. Be a good sport about it now. Ill be back on you before long." General put his head understandingly on Biff's shoulder. 'Better keep your eye on us," Biff added, half to himself. "I'm pot as young as I once was, and this horse is rarin' to go." S50 General went through his tricks all the day mechanically with his new rider. He had to be spoken to sharp- ly several times because his eyes went straying fondly to his old master. The new seemed to do well, and General felt eagier. Next day, however, he noticed something wrong. The young chestnut seemed nervous. About the middle of the show he got too close to the trick elephants, and suddenly he was rearing and buck- ing. BIff tried to slide off, but was afraid of the fiylng boofs. The audience saw an old white horse leave his place and his rider, and trot over to the snorting herse. They saw the clown leap to the back of the white horse, and they clapped at the clever trick. But they didn't know how white Biff's face was under his paint, as he clung to General's neck and whispered: his thanks in his ear. "This is a put up job," said the DAILY "GETTING-UP" STUNTS .-. Exercise No. 1: Stand erect with your heels together and your arms to your sides. Raise your arms out to the aide untll they are even with your shoulders. Turn the upper part of your body so that you face to left. As you turn do not shift foet, and move your hips as little possible. Then, without beading knees, touch the floor with the ofl your right hand fingers. Raise up. turn se that you face to the right and bend again, touching the finger tips of your left hand te the floor. Exercise No. 1: Stretch out flat on your back. Keep your arms close to your side. Without taking hold of anything, raise up to a sitting po- sition. Your feet should not be al- fowed to leave the floor. It will help to put them under a rung of a chalr. Exercise No. 3: Lie fiat on your face with your palms on the floor at the side of your bedy near your chest, Keeping your body perfectly stiff, raise yourself off the floor.

Raise first one leg into the air without bending the knee, and then raise the other. Do each of these exercises twice for the first time. Do them in the morning and then just before retiring at night. Each day increase the num« ber of times you do each exercise un- til you reach the sixth day. By that time you will be doing each one seven ¥mes. If, after several days, you feel you can increase this number and yet not strain yourself, you may do so.

Now it's my turn. I can't talk artistic, but-- Carne, do you understand my work?" He lean- ed forward, thick capable hands on thick sturdy thighs, mature and slow, Yet beseeching. 'No matter even if You are cold, I like you better than anybody in the world. One time I sald that you were my soul. And that still goes. You're all the things that I see in a sunset when I'm dri\- ing in from the country, the things that I like but can't make poetry' of. Do you realize what my job is?

RADIO Sewoon] --= In the case of a 'transmitting anetnna the object is to create as much disturbance in the ether as possible, in order to transmit as far as possible with a given amount of energy in the antenna circuit. When waves are created in the ether energy In the antenna circuit is used up--that fs at least a portion of the electrical energy in the antenna is changed into wave energy. We want the waves to have as much power and energy as possible, and we therefore, want to use as much of the electrical energy in the anm- tenna as we can to produce this desired result. We bave seen in previous considerations, however, that there is an effective resist- ance introduced into the antenna circuit whenever any energy is used up. When this energy fis used to produce ether waves the effective resistance is called "ra- diation resistance," since the en- argy put into the waves is ra- diated to a distance. This is a de- sirable loss in the antenna circuit, and, within certain limits, due to other considerations than trans- mitting range, the radiation re- ---- ~~ ANTENNA RESISTANCE. (RADIATION RESISTANCE), sistance is made purposely as high as possible. In order to do this the other sources of energy loss must be kept at a minimum. It may be thought, off hand, that a receiving antenna never radiates any energy in the form of ether waves. This is not true, however, since under certain con- ditions it can be made to reradi- ate energy received from passing waves. Reradiatien, of course, is not the dbject of a receiving an- tenna, and when it takes place it results in an effective antenna re- sistance, which is not at all de- sirable. The fundamental wave length or natural frequency of an an- tenna is that which is had with- out any coll or actual condenser in series between the antenna and the ground connection. The addi- tion of either increases the wave length and decreates the fre- quency of the system. If the wave length to be received is too near this fundamental wave length, re- radiation may occur. From this it may be seen that it is possible for a receiving antenna to be too long or too large, ALL OUR ORDERS | * ARE EXECUTED th the same attention to minute degails, for we know that whether tué order be large or small, careless~ nets In filling it will result in dissat- isfuction and inconvenience.

The single turn resistance may be varied by turning the small milled knob, which is mounted on a shaft passing through the hol- low shaft. The longer contactor, which is mounted on the Inner shaft, makes contact with the single turn resistance and allows a very fine variation of filament current. The design and con- struction are such that when one ampere flows in the filament cir cuit one complete turn of the small vernler control knob changes that current one-tenth of an ampere. The use of a vernier adjust. ment of filament current often makes unnecessary the use. of a plate battery potentiometer when soft detector tubes are used. The critical adjustment {is secured with the fine variation of fila. ment currant, Will readers interested in these radio articles kindly communicate him first dn ome of these reg'lar New York studios!
