A practical article explains common radio receiver faults and fixes. It outlines three fault types open circuit short circuit and leakage and describes a simple ring test using a series lamp to detect an open circuit in components like a tuning coil. The guidance emphasizes careful inspection and logical testing of contacts and wiring.
Testing the tune circuit requires sliders to move freely and a continuous light. If the light goes out with the coil jarred, contact is poor. Use a buzzer and battery in series with clips to test for open circuits and low resistance grounds. Do not test the house lighting circuit for grounds. Grounding must be verified between ground wires and pipes. Leaks often occur between antenna and ground. insulate the antenna and route the lead-in to avoid grounding paths when wind moves it.
Instructions describe testing telephone receivers by tongue contact, checking diaphragms, and ensuring continuity. It covers adjusting diaphragms, avoiding wire damage, methods for identifying open circuits with shorted receivers, and cleaning crystal detectors with alcohol or renewing the surface to restore signal strength.
Radio Inspector L R Selmidt urges amateurs to follow regulations to avoid restrictions.

A roundup of Montana items reports grasshoppers near Lavina and deaths in Missoula and Hamilton. Fires and closures follow lamp blasts at Granite and the Tri dent cement plant. June 20 is named good roads day, while graduates, rail incidents, and local authority actions fill the week with civic notes.
The article explains that higher aerial height improves signals with five to ten feet increases. Adding a variable condenser to the secondary or primary of a loose coupler helps tune out undesired signals. Solder a flexible wire to the slider to reduce contact loss. Increase spreader length for multi wire aerials to ten feet and keep wires four to six feet apart for best results.
The article explains that aerials can store atmospheric electricity and should be properly grounded to act as lightning rods. Fire underwriters require a copper grounding wire no smaller than No 4 gauge, run directly to the outside ground. Inside pipes cannot serve as ground due to risk of fire and loss of life.
In a New York legal action the court enjoined Jay Gould and Myron Herrick from pressing a $644,904 claim against the late Jay Gould estate. Justice Delehanty, with the consent of six Gould children, shifted estate management to four trust companies and appointed new trustees for Edwin, Frank J., and others. The Princess Vlora of Albania and Mrs Helen Gould sent their daughters to America.
