The two strokes, the trudgeon and the crawl, that have been already explained, are primarily speed . strokes. Nevertheless, they combine the elements of all forms of swimming, and once you have learned them so that they come as natural to you as walking, you are prepared for almost any kind of acquatic sport. Distance swimming is an art in itself. Too many swimmers believe that it simply consists of using the sprint stroke to which they are accustomed until they grow tired: then turning over on their back and resting until they feel like going farther. The main {dea of distance swimming is to keep going. It 18 inexcusable to turn over on your back and rest, for you will find that this will tire you more than if you had driven your muscles to the extra effort of con- tinuing. Where In sprint swimming you con. centrate on speed, in distance swim- ming, it is just the opposite. You should try to concentrate on slowness. Alm toward regularity in your stroke and in breathing. And relax! Your movements should all be easy; not a muscle should be strained. The trudgeon, swum slowly, Is con- sidered a good distance stroke, pro- viding you do not start too fast. Nothing is more fatal to distance swimming than .to start off with a THE SWIMMING CLASS -- LESSON VI sprint; you will be winded long before you have reached your goal. Some experts advocate a com: bination of several strokes for distance swimming. It is a bad policy, though, to change from the stroke you start out with unless you become so tired that you cannot continue Most of the * scientific swimmers of to-day believe the trudgeon is the logical distance stroke, and use it entirely Should jit be necessary, however, to change, the best stroke to change to is the overarm side stroke. This fs the same as the trudgeon, ,with the exception that only one arm--the lefre, usually-- goes into the alr. The other arm Is drawn through the water at a line of least resistance. The kick of the overarm side stroke is different from that of the trudgeon. The legs are opened and brought to- gether at once, the left, or upper leg, being kicked forward, the knee slightly bent. The right, or lower leg, is bent double until the foot touches the thigh. In the effective part of the stroke the left foot is sent a little forward, and then the whole leg is straightened with a snap at the same time as the right leg meets it with a vicious kick. As you finish the kick, the muscles should relax thoroughly before beginning again. But the swimmer has little use for this stroke, outside of using it as a change in distance swimming. The secret of distance swimming is_a smooth, slow stroke, even breath- ing," and a trick of relaxing the muscles as each movement is gone through. Do that, and you will find little necessity of changing your stroke.

Y.M.C.A. RADIO SCHOOL a -- -------- * | CONNECTION OF GRID | ' When a grid condenser is used in a vacuum tuly detector circuit it is customary te connect a high resistance directly across. This resistance is the grid leak referred to in previous articles. If there is no connection of any part of the grid circuit to ground, that circuit is connected io the positive end of the filament. The potentiral of the grid will then be somewhat higher than the negative end of that flla- ment. That is. the potential of the grid with respect to the negative filament terminal will he some- what positive. Electrons are at- tracted to the grid and a current flows in the grid circuit normally when there are no incoming sig- nals. The actual potential of the grid will depend upon the value of the leak resistance and the grid current flowing. If the leak resist- ance is not of too low value. how ever, the grid current will be quite small, and when incoming signal voltages are impressed upon the grid there will not be enough damping to materially reduce the sharpoess of tuning or selectivity of the circuits The damping effect will usually, in fact be too small to be considered practically since the grid current at most is so small. Every time the applied po- tential is positive to the grid. elec- trons will be irawn to it and the grid will quite rapidly become neg- ative. If the grid circuit is. how- ever, connected to the negative ena of the filament. the action of the tube as a detector is quite poor in A Harald-Qun CIRCUIT TO FILAMENT. comparison. That is the signals Leard in the head tsfephones will be weaker, In some eases it is found advisa- ble to ground common connection between grid and filament circuits. This may be done whether the coupling is direct or inductive. and in this case rhe common point which is connected to ground is at Zero potential. The grid is. of course, connected through the grid condenser to this point. and its potential is then negative. It is tnoen at the same potential as the negative end of the filament. pro- viding 'hat the negative filament terminal is made the common point and the potential at that point, therefore. made zero. No grid current then flows until a positive potential is applied to the grid by the incoming signal. There is thus practically no damping of the received oscillations. If the pusitive terminal of the filament were used for the common point, which is grounded, that end of the filament, together with the grid. is at zero potential. but the grid is then higher in potential than the negative end f the filament. In fact, it is at considerably higher potential as those potentials go, and too large a grid current will flow. This would resuit in weaker signals being heard in the head telephores.

There are many uses for small capacity fixed condensers. such as grid condensers, by-passing con- lensers for the plate circuits of a racuum tube and telephone con- densers in crystal detector sets, Radio experimenters find numer- ous other uses for them, slso. The condenser illustrated {is only about one inch square. High grade tin foil is used for the con- ducting plates and a high grade of mica for the dielectric. After the emall tin foil and mica sheets are assembled a protecting fibre piece is placed on each side and eyelets are fastened in one at each end. These eyelets hold the condenser securely together. so that the tin foil and mica cannot curl up at does not change when the conden- ser is in use. If a number of condenser unite are to be connected in series or parallel the connections may be easily made by passing machine screws through the eyelets. 4 condenser of any required capacity and dielectric strength may thus be secured within rather wile lim- its. The capacities of tke units range between 0.0001 and 0.0025 microfarads. When one of the units is to be - used as a grid condenser a varia- ble grid leak resistance may be made on the surface of the fibre. Sandpaper is rirst used to rough- en the fibre between the two eye- lets. A lead pencil may then be vsed to draw lines between the eyelets, and a variable erid leak resistance is had. The resistance depends upon the amount of graph- ite between the two eye!sts Because of rheir small size these condensers can be used to good advantage in constructing a small tion between filament circuit and .
