Unfortunately the tendency among many dealers and listeners today is to regard the single-tube regenera- tive circuit, with one or two stages of audio amplification added, as a "dead one." Radio frequency" is all the rage, and unless a set uses a stage or two of radio frequency am- plification it is frowned upon. This is a mistaken attitude, and it is about time that the regenera- tive receiver came in for its share of credit. It is safe to say that there gre but few types of receivers which, when operated on an outdoor antenna, can beat a good, low-loss regenerative outfit. There have been two main ob- jections to the regenerative set so far. First, it has been preached against for {ts radiating ability, and second, it has been Dbelittled for a supposed lack of sensivity. The regenerative detector outfit does not always radiate --it is merely capable of radiating. This statement applies to radio fre- quency amplifier sets, Inciden- tally, the average oscillating r. f amplifier is more annoying than an oscillating single tube re- generator. If correctly operated, neither type of set will radiate. And the way to operate each is to use the set below the oscillation point. As regards sensivity, the re- generative set is not easy to beat. DEFER CHANGE IN BASIS OF GRANTS TO SCHOOLS sm | Present Plan of Allotment Will Be Followed for Another Year. Toronto, June 23.--Changes in the basis of government grants to public and separate schools, contained in an | act passed by tha last session of the house giving the Minister of Educa- | tion wide discretionary powers in| their apportionment, are not to ma- terialize at present. Announcements to this effect are being forwarded to school boards throughout the prov- ince by the Board of Education, stat- ing that for another year grants will remain as heretofore. ' Under the present plan of allotment, Ontario! public and separate schools earn trom the government upwards of $2,500,000 in grants yearly. | The intention of Premier Fergu-| son, who carries the portfolio of edu- cation, has been to change the pre- sent basis of grants from that of qualification of teachers, his idea be- | ing that a school district's interest! in education, as evidenced by its ex-| penditure upon it, should be an im- portant factor in determining the | ald which the government would give it. With this in view he secur- ed the passage of legislation basing the grants upon regard to "the prop-| erty liable to taxation for school pur-| poses, the expenditure of the board upon education, and to such other} considerations as in the opinion of] the minister should affect such ap-| portionment" The premier has found it impos-| sible since the close of the session to work out the details of the scheme, which such legislation had in view. | Realizing that school boards require to know in advance what aid they| may count upon in order to lay their plans, he has decided to leave the system unchanged for another year, when it is hoped that the new policy will be worked out in its details. ---------- DANGEROUS DRIVING, Manitoba Free Press. The Chicago Tribune has made an exhaustive investigation of motor trafic conditions on Chicago streets and finds that the regulations are generally disregarded. Driver after driver found to be making his own regulations. The investigators ex- press the opinion that under the con- ditions existing it is strange thal there are not more accidents. The investigators were unanimous on one point: that up to twenty miles an hour there is comparative safety. Beyond that there is danger | Up to twenty miles, the driver can guard fairly well against injury to children or adults who dart out on to the street from behind vehicles or qther ob- structions. Once beyond a speed of twenty miles an hour, he has small | chance ot avoiding an accident. The Tribune maintains that in the interests of the people living in a city the youthful driver, the careless driver, and the speed crank will have to go. Radio industry in this country numbers about 250,000 persons con- nected with it. Three of the world's most power- ful transmitting stations are in Mos- cow, | of death is granted. i views on recognition There are sets which will beat it; | we do not claim that there are not. A single stage of good radio frequency amplifier in front of a regenerative detector will give in- creased signal strength. Two steps will give still more. But the regenerative detector alone will come very near equalling the results of the one-stage r. f. and] detector, and if poor r. f. trans- formers are used, dt is entirely possible that a good single de-| tector will give better results. Radio frequency transformers are | not perfect yet by any means. A | poor, or fair stage of r. f., fol- lowed by a crystal detector, can] practically be beatem by a] regenerative set. Another way of looking at is that controlled re- generation itself is the equal of about "a stage and a half" of] average r. f. amplification. And | s0, we say, the regenerative set is| by no means to be despised. It is not claimed that the re- generative set is the' peer of all! circuits, but we do' want to dis- | courage the tendency to relegate {ft to a back seat. It is, if care- fully built, still one of the most sensitive receivers we know of, | particularly on the lower always | | | | 1 phone | waves, and as for radiating ability | it is, as we have stated, not as | bad as most radio frequency sets. | It is one of the st types of | «et, and undoubielly one of the easiest to build and operate, tit TO ELIMINATE RISK OF PREMATURE BURIAL The British Commons Is Now | Considering a Measure | Aimed at Hazard. London, June 23.--A bill aiming at elimination of the possibility of the risk of premature burial is now | before the Commons and seems like- ly to pass owing to the growing senti- | ment of the country in its favor. The bill provides medical inspe:tion of all bodies before issuance of a death certificate and also adequate enquiry before a certificate stating the cause! A small fee of five shillings is suggested to cover | the cost of these certificates. | An astonishing number of people in England lately have left instruc- tions in their will for the perform- | ance of certain specific acts such as | vein cutting or the like to prevent premature burial. | -- | FRANCE OPENS PARLEYS. | With United States Regarding the | Russian Policy. { Washington, June 23.--France | and the United States are exchanging of Russia, it was officially learned here. | Details of the exchange are being | kept secret, but it is understood that the Herriot government of France| took the initiative with a view of | aligning this country with it in a| joint programme of recognition | terms to be offered Russia.
