that the cost of replacement has been

Due to the experience of a few ex
perimenters who have found that their
tubes burn out at too-frequent inter

prevalent that a large anumber of the
new A.C. tubes are defective. How
ever, this is not necessarily true, while
investigation seems to indicate that it
is false. It .as been discovered that.

tube-life is experienced, the trouble Is
due to the application of excessive
voltage overlonds to the tube fla
ments; resulting from a high line
voltage at the house lighting source,
without suitable means of regulation
in the power unit of the receiver.
In operation, A.O, tubes are no more
critical as to filament voltage than
etandard tubes of the 201 A type; but
trouble 1s caused by the fact that the
house-lighting circuit sometimes does
not provide as constant a source of
potential as does a storage battery.
In the case of the latter, the maximum

known to be 6 volts, and it Is possible
to insert ballast resistors in the cir
cuit and reduce the potential to the
value required by the tubes. In this
way it is possible to operate a receiver
without any danger of overloading the
filaments. [n contrast to this, there is
no definite maximum voltage of an
A.C. house-lighting circuit. These cir
cuits are usually rated at 110 volts
but, during the day, the voltage may
vary all the way from 90 to 125 volts
in extreme cases; and for this reason
some form of voltage regulator is
needed in every radio power unit
Voltage variations are not as great in
the large cities as in the rural dis
tricts where elaborate regulating de
vices are not provided; but in all
cases it is wise to use some type of
voltage control.
Things to Know About
Life of “C” Battery
The question of the necessity for
replacing the “C” battery in a receiv
er when the others-are no longer use
ful often arises. - In this connection:
there is one important thing to keep
in mind. that the “C” battery is used
to prevent the flow of grid current.
which means that there is no current
drawn from the battery. The -useful
life of the battery is, therefore, equal
to its “shelf life,” or the life it would
have if it were not used at all. The
life of the battery is independent of
the number of tubes used in the re
ceiver. = The shelf life depends pri
marily on the size of the cells. For
this reason the high-voltage batteries
used to bias the power tube have to
be replaced more frequently than
those used to bias the radio-frequency
amplifier. .

Ford Henderson, a farmer living

Study Athletics
and Psychology
’ By COLEMAN R. GRIFFITH |
Director of Psychological Research in
Athletics, University of Illinois.
| #Every coach, 'ike gmyone else who.
must handie men and train them,. has
"to be more or 'ess of a psychologist.
The most successful coaches are prob
ably the best psychologists. That is,
they know best how to handle men
and how to get the most out of them.
This is an art which”is wholly distinct
from their skill as tactician in the
sport they coach. A man may be ever
so goud a tactician but wholly fail to
know men, and hence fail as a coach. |
On the other hand, a man may kncw
men, be a mediocre tactician, and still
be a good coach. |
In view of these facts the athletic
association of the University of [lli
nois, at the suggestion of George Huft,
director of physize, welfare, under
took, three years ago, to establish a
laboratory for the study of psycho
logical problems in athletics.
It is one of the purposes of this
laboratory to make a complete study
of the men who colme out for the dif
ferent athletic teams at the umi
versity, to study the coaches and their
methods, and thus help the students
who enroll in the four-year course in
athletic coaching to understand the
psychological side of the coaching pro
fession.
Studies are made on the mental and
physical alertness, the memory and
learning ability, the nervousness or
steadiness, the vision and hearing,
brakes suddenly, and at the same
time put forth a great deal of
strength to stéer the car around the
curve safely. There may be many
curves in the course of a day’s drive
and if the driver continues to ap
proach them at a high rate of speed,
he will have used up a great deal of
energy by the end of the day.
“Then there is the driver who
thinks there is no necessity of shift
ing to second gear when descending
a hill, in spite of warning signs. This
means that he will have to hold his
car back with the brakes—another
aseless expenditure of strength.
“Approaching at high speed any
point where it is ‘known in advance
that a stop must be made is anothef
driving blunder that leaves the driver
eghausted. at .the ‘end of the day. as
this practice requires sudden and vig
orous application of brakes, and. as
a result, muscular fatigue. il
“There are mapy littlg' driving
‘tricks’, which, if ‘ithe mo&rist‘- will
learn and practice, will notionly con
serve the driver's energy, but will al
so lengthen the life of the car.”

The laboratory is also making a
number of other studies on the psyeho
logical side of athletics. One of these
concerns the way in which athletes
sleep before and after games and other
heavy exercise. Underneath the beds
of some of the members of the teams
are placed recorders which make a
record on paper of every movement of
the athlete during the night. These
records show whether or not the ath
letes are rested by a night’s sleep and
whether or not they are getting too
much heavy work.
Last spring the members of the
baseball team used, during practice, a
special bat with electric connections
built into it so that measure of the
time that elapses between the moment
the ball hits the bat and the moment
the batter reaches first base could be
taken. This experiment on batting
showed that many batters spend as
much time getting out of the batter’'s
box as th:*’odo in getting to first base.
It was ufSoo shown tnat such men
could learn to get away faster and so
stand a better chance of turning some
of their blows into hits.
These and a score of other problems
are being studied by the laboratory in
the gymnasium and the results are
discussed in a unique course for stu
dents in coaching called “psychology
and athletics.” When this course was
first started it was the only one of its
kind; but other schools have seen the
advantage of such a course and the
idea has now spread to other parts
of the country. Illinois still has, how
ev-r, the only laboratory devoted ex
clusively to the study of psychological
problems in athletic competition.

Who, to Save His Life,

St. Louis.—~Frank Drinning, who,
although fifty-four years old, was stili
known as the “bully of Glencoe Hills,”
was shot and killed by Elisha Brock
man, forty-one, his old friend, whom
he struck and abused for six hours
before Broekman, warding off a
shower of bottles, fired three shots from
a revolver,
A coroner’s verdict of Jjustifiable
homicide was returned at the inquest.
Drinning, a powerfully built man,
frequently boasted that he “had fought
1,000 battles with his fists and never
been whipped.” Both he and Brock
man were employed as laborers in the
gravel pits at Jedburg and, in addi

He was preparing to close up when
Drinning appeared. Drinning was
“nasty drunk” and looking for trouble,
according to Mrs. Goldie Brockman,
wife of Brockman,

home he ate most of his meals since
his wife divorced him several years
ago, had “fallen out.” The cause of

SAME PRESCRIPTION
HE WROTE IN 1892
When Dr. Caldwell started to practice
medicine, back in 1875, the needs for &
laxative were not as great as today.
Peo&;le lived normal lives, ate plain,
wholesome food, and gct plenty of fresh
air. But even that ea.rs)y there were
drastic physics and purges for the relief
of constipation which 591' Caldwell did
not believe were good for human beings.
The prescription for constipation that
he used early in his practice, and which
he put in drug stores in 1892 under the
name of Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin,
is a liquid vegetable remedy, intended
for women, children and elderly people,
and they need just such a m.ilti: safe
bowel stimulant.
This prescription has proven its worth
and is now the largest selling liquid
laxative. It has won the confidence of
Keople who needed it to flget relief from
eadaches, biliousness, flatulence, indi
gestion, loss of appetite and sleep, bad
breath, dyspepsia, colds, fevers. At your
