BCHAOOL STUDY SPOR1S THE JUNIOR BRITISH WHIG BIGGEST LITTLE PAPER IN THE WORLD By JACK GIHON The Man Who Taught One Thousand New Orieans Boys and Girls How to. Swim Right now the beginner faces the hardest job he will have in learning to swim That 1s ~geotting rid of any possible fear of the water. Many per- : sons who are not swimmers have an inherent dread of the water-- they are afraid of getting their heads wet. And anybody who wants to swim will have to get rid of that fear right now. If you have mastered the dry fand exercises given you last week, you are ready to go into the water. That does not mean that you can expect to plunge in and go speed- ing off at a champion's pace--far from it. You have two important things to learn first--breathing and balance. We will take breathing first. Now You naturally inhale through the nose and exhale through the mouth; in swimming, that habit is reversed You breathe in through the mouth and out through ths Mowe. Practice it a few times before going into the Water. Now you're ready'! Jump into water =~-nof deeper than your waist--and play around for a few minutes.' First duck your head (you can hold your mose the first time, if you want to.) You'll find out it isn't so bad. But it probably will take all your nerve to duck your head without holding your nose, Start bobbing up and down slowly Start by taking a deep breath through your mouth; then as you go down, | exhale through the nose. Do not come up until the breath is all gone. Due to the fact that air is coming Out of your nose, no water can enter {it. After you practice this exercise, | you will find that ft 1s not at afl un- | pleasant--most persons [ have taught to swim rather lLked it, in fact. | Practice that until you can do it. Now for balance. Swimming is only a matter of balance, anyway. Take a deep breath, and put your face {nto the water. Give yourself a Mttls push. off, and kick your legs in the manner described last week. Arms should be pointéd over the head. After you practice 'it, making sure that your body is perfectly straight and only the legs moving, you will find you wiil make progress through the water. Why, when you've done that, you've almost learned to swim! But DO NOT #0 into water more than waist-deep. Next Saturday Mr. Glihon will tell about the effective use of the trudgeon. This is the stroke which, in his long experience in teach- ing boys and girls to swim, he has found best for beginners. What three Presidents SFE "I~ 3+ of the U.S.are these ?

I thought how quick an afternoon would fly If I were there, a-paddling in the shady pool without a single care, with sun a-trickling through the leaves and splashing on the bank, and I would have no themes to write to please a fussy érank. I'd close my eyes, and that old pool was heaven, seemed to me, and | could hardly wait until upon its bank I'd be. Well, yesterday the day was Warm; I thought the time was here to beat it to the pool and plunge into its depths so clear. 80 in I went, and Jiminy! The water ure was cold! First thing I did was aller all the pool that I could hold A water-bug got onto me. You should have heard me yell! Then something stung me on the head and it began to swell.

When a shallow dish of water is bet in the sun for a certain length of time we find that the water dis- Sppears or is evaporated. If the Sun were not shining or the at- mosphere were quite humid the Water elther would not evaporate at all, or, at best, more slowly. It is well known that water does not evaporate at low temperatures. It is, in fact, heat which causes the evaporation. In much the same manner, If a metal body, for ex- ample, the tungsten filament of a vacuum tube, is heated enough tree electrons will be evaporated from the filament. Even though the electrons may leave the fila- ment with high velocity, would be quickly stopped by air at ordinary atmospheric pressures un- der ordinary conditions. But if the evaporation were in a vacuum (a space containing very thin or no air) they would not be so quick- ly stopped. This is because the electrons are so very small. As a matter of fact, even though the electrons may be evaporated, emit- ted or projected to some distance from the filament, they will nor- mally be attracted back at the Game rate they are projected. This is because when the electrons leave the filament they leave the filament with a positive electrical charge remaining upon it. Then, the elegtrons being themselves negative charges, they are at- tracted back because of the posi- tive charge on the filament. There are then at all times electrons be- beat it home at that. ing projected from and returning to the filament, so that a cloud of Cuckoo negative charges is present all Agent: "Can I sell You an encylo- pedia?" Able: around that "No, I couldn't ride one if I body of- "etal, Since, | 88 we have seen, these eiecn:uur are negative charges, the cloud must be a large negative charge Surrounding the filament, and there must be also a repelling eof- fect of the cloud upon electrons Just leaving the filament. Now, if the temperature of the filament is raised, as, for exam. Ple, by passing a larger current through it, more electrons will be emitted in a certain length of time, That is, the electrons will be emit- ted faster. But the faster they are emitted the faster they are at- tracted back (or repelled back by the electron cloud), s.d a condi- tion of equilibrium is still mailn- tained, although, of course, it will be a new condition. In addition to the temperature, the conditions which determine the rate of elec- tron emission are shape and chem- ical characteristics of the material. There are also other considera- tions, but those n.med are, per- haps, the" most i portant. It has been stated in a previous article that molecules and atoms may also be evaporated from a substance. If the temperature of the filament is high enough atoms of the tungsten 1/1i] escape from the metal with considerable veloc- ity and will strike the glass walls of the vacuum tube. The same thing occurs in an ordinary tungs- ten filament incandescent lamp. It enough of these atoms are al- lowed to leave the filament it is burned out or ruptured at a certain place. Also, every increase in the number of atoms evaporated means a decreased lift of filament. It is quite necessary, therefore, not to heat the filament of a vacuum tube any more than is required. haa it." Bill: "Ouch! Who threw that brick?' Will: "Aw, don't take it so hard."

APPARATUS * DEVICES By RALPH BROWN, RADIO ENGINEER A VARIABLE CONDENSER FOR THE TRANSMITTER. stand five amperes of current at its maximum capacity setting. The construction is shown in the illustration. The variation of ca- pacity is secured by turning the drum, which is controlled by the knob. This knob and dial are the only parts showing on the front of a pdnel, the condenser being easily | mounted on the back. The conden- Ser may also be mounted on a table for experimental work. Very smooth and close adjustment of capacity is had and results in close tuning. The condenser is availa- ble in two sizes, one with a capac- ity range of from 0.00Q1 to 0.005 microfarads and the other with a range of from 0.0001 to 0.0012 mi- crofarads. The smaller size is best sulted for reception. With the ca- pacity range of the larger size, the wave length range may be varied from 50 to 100 meters in the aver- age low power transmitter. One of the advantages of this | type of condenser is the freedom from warping plates, which might cause short circuits at certain set- tings of the condenser. Another is the low power factor, low dlelec- tric losses, which helps in mak- ing a transmitting set mote effi- cient. It is small for the capacity range and very rugged mechanic- ally. Also, it is permanent in cali- bration, which is of considerable advantage, "A Uerald-Sun Feature.
