"What's the matter with you?' asked Puff. the Maltese cat, "Nothing." said Seet, "only--only I'm getting sick of being treated the way folks treat me just be- cause I'm black." "Why I think black is a very hand- - Bome color," said the little Maltese cat slyly. "Maybe it looks nice," admitted Soot, "but the trouble is that some- "how or other people have got the idea that a black cat brings bad luck And they're always 'scatting' me, and screaming when they see me run cross in front of them, especially &irls." "Well," suggested Puff, "seems to me it would be a goed idea if you'd &o around doing things for people. Look for something to do that will please them Prove to them that Jou're a good luck cat." That's a good idea," maid Soof. [orn think it over." He got up, Stretched, and went out to roam through the garden, Suddenly he Stopped. 'Here's my chance," he purred. Before him lay a white glove on the ground. It beldtiged to Nina, one of the girls of the house who was especially mean to him. "She was out in the garden" feasoried Soot, "and Jost it.

SECRET CODES -- HOW TO MAKE THEM Signaling cannot always be done by means of lights. There are times when two people wishing to com- municate by signals are not in a posi- tion to see each others signal lights or fires, Sound signals are just as effective as light signals. The human voice, of course, cannot shout words that will carry very far, but a whistled message can be heard considerable distance away. The Whistied Code Using the dot-dash code already given, the whistler can easily send a messada. A two-nota scheme is used. The low note signifies a dot and the high tone stands for the dash in the system. A slight pause is made between letters and a Tr one between words. One group of boys who were cafnp- ing across the river from another | bunch arranged with them a group | to each other. A certain combination of notes meant: 'Come on over: there's something doing." Another combination said: "Going fishing in the morning." They sent all sorts of messages this way through the day, until a long whistle with an upward trill said: "Goodnight." The Hunter's Horn Another way of sending messages by sound is with a horn. A re gular hunter's horn is good for this purpose because of its loudness and clearn 289, which makes it easily understood a long way off. As this horn has only one tone, the telegraphic code is sent by using a short note for the dot and a long one for the dash. Sending messages by sound codes may be worked out in many ways.

When a grig condenser is con- Gected in series with the tuned cir- cult and filament terminal it is customary and advisable to place il #8 near. the grid as possible. In "this case the normal potential of the grid wil depend upon tke ar- rangement of the circuit Since, for reasons to be explained, a grid leak resistance is normally shunt- ed Across the grid condenser this will also nave an effect upon the normal grid potential. Let us con- ») sider the arrangement shown fin the drawing The grid is connected to the positive end of the filament trough the grid leak resistance, | and a positive Potential is applied + Mv Oumifalery Agplin Q 4 Volts 1 An Uw" Actual Cris Puteating Gi Her Tt Tra) AT Plate Currant - OR bony rm ge leis BETETRC), [ Ciresin Ly wh + © Arr to the grid. The grid is sl htly positive with respect to the neza- ive end of the filament, and a small grid current will therefore flow. There is also a plate cur- reat flowing because the plate is tonnected to the positive terminal of the plate battery. This is Cie uwormal plate current. Now, suppose that the receiver circuits are tuned to an incoming signal and an oscillating potential is applied to the grid through the grid condenser and .eak resistance. When the applied (signal) voltage tharges the grid positively the ac- tual potential of the grid rises from Its normal small positive value to | Imereasingly higher values until | the peak of the applied potential Is reached. During this time the plate current may increase very slightly, but may actually decrease because electrons are being at- tracted to the grid and trapped there, since they cannot fiow through the condenser nor to any i extent through the very high re- sistance.' After the peak of ap- plied voltage is passed and ft de- creases to zero ge negative charges remain on the grid and the grid becomes negative with respect to the negative end of the filament. When the applied vok« age charges the grid negatively no grid current flows, but the plate current decreases still further. After the peak of the applied neg- ative voltage is passed the grid po- tential rises to a lower negative value, and, with it, the plate cur- rent. At the end of the cycle. bow- ever, the grid is probably negative with respect to the filament, so that the plate current does not come back to .ts former value. During successive oscillations of &pplied voltage the grid becomes increasingly negative with respect to the filament until a time is reached when the charge can leak through the high grid leak resist- ance. After this time the grid grad- ually becomea less and less nega- tive with increasing leakage until, at the end of the wave train, the grid has assumed its original po- tential with respect to the fila- ment. Durfug this time the plate | current is pulsating and its aver- | age value is first decreasing and then increasing until at the end of the wave train the plate current is again normal. In the duration of one wave train ihere is then a de- | crease and an increase of average - plate current below and back te rormal value--one pulse of aver- age plate current will then take place for each wave train, and the telephone receiver diaphragms are vibrated in step with the pulse fre- quency.
