Dr. Na- vias ascribed the long fe of the tubes to the ceramic material developed to support the tungstdn filament. One cofhmon cause of radio tube failure, he said, was the production of gas with. in the tube which reduced the partial vacuum. Another cause of fallure was the burning out of fue filament due to the reaction of the filament to its in- sulator, A ceramic material developed for the insulator from high meting oxides and made without the use of clay has avoided these conditions, Dr. Navias said. with the resulting improvement in the life of radio tubes, Clayless The borough and Potter township pihife schools, closed for the Christ mas varation, opoy d Monday.
