EDITORIAL
THE CHRISTMAS CLUBS

Twelve years ago the idea OF
the so-called Christmas club was
started. Probably not many
people thought then that it would
amount to much. 1t was organi-
zed to promote the thrift idea.
Yet people were not urged to
save the money accumulated UNI
der this plan by regular bank de-
posts. They were urged to lay
aside the money so that by another
Christmas they would have all
ample fund which could be used to
buy the things they wanted.
It was believed that once people
found that they could save money,
the habit of laying aside pro-
portion Of their income would be-
come fixed. Thus the plan would
indirectly promote thrift. The
man who found he could save to
buy the article of furniture he
wanted, might cnclude that he
could save to secure q reserve in
the bank.
The scheme has grown and grown
until during the year 1922 the vast
sum Of $190,000,00O has been ac-
cumulated in these clubs. 1t has
taken cnstant self-dcnial for peo-
pie to roll up this big sum, 1t
seems too bad for these folks to
fail to get the full results of their
sacrifice. If they spend all this
money on things they Immediately
desire, it does not help to solve
their life problems. They would
gain more if they would deposit a
considerable part Of their savings
in the banks.
People do not obtain comfort
and security unless they acquire
some reserve Of money. The only
way to get it is to make it d re-
gular habit to save some portion
Of ones income A multitude of
Christmas club people have proved
that it can be done in many cases

NO TRACE IS FOUND
Of MOTOR BANDITS
WHO LOOTED BANK
Haul Now Estimated at $780,
600; Canadian Bankers
Offer Reward.

Special to The Tribune.
Lethbridge. Alta, Sept. No trace
has yet been found of the six motor
bandits who early last Tuesday norm
ing robbed the Foremost bank of cash
and negotiable securities row estimated
to mount to S135,000. The first esti-
mate placed on the loot, obtained after
the robbers had bound and gagged two
bank employees and blew the safe. was
$4,000, $4,000 of which was cash.
Finger prints left by the yegSs are
proving of no value to the provincial
police, as they wore creased gloves,
which made the prints no more than
smears. The police are in possession
of the syringe used by the bandits in
cracking the safe with nitroglycerine,
and this constitutes the only clue which
authorities have to follow. The Cana
dian Bankers association has offered
a standing reward of $1,000 for the
apprehension of the robbers.
Before leaving Foremost. the high
waymen ~blockaded all roads leading
out of the town with large rocks, and
further bettered their chances of escape
by cutting all telephone and telegraph
connections. 1t was first believed that
the robbers escaped across the boun-
dairy and went into hiding in the Sweet
grass hills. which lie directly north of
Shelby near the line.

HELMETTA HUSBAND GONE;

HELME1TA, June Family diff
ferences between Mr.. and Mrs.
James Acker, of this place. hat had
their beginning when Mrs Acker was
charged with leaving her seven
small children alone in the home TO
attend n medicine show. terminated
yesterday when Ackers failed to
snswer a summons before Borough
Recorder Douglas McDermott an
investigation showed that Ackers
rad left his home for parts I'M
known. leaving his family destitute.
The trouble started when Ackers,
employed as a Waterman, returned
from one of his rounds to find his
children crying on the front porch.
An investigation showed that Mrs.
Ackers had put the children to bed
and gone to a medicine show and
did not return until past midnight.
What happened between the
couple on her return was the aus
for counter complaints before the
recorder. Mrs. Ackers was ready
yesterday to rress the complaint of
assault, but the failure of her
spouse to appear postponed the
troubles until he Al be located.

legally divorced from her first hus-
band, when she contracted the Sec
ond marriage. Schmidt did not
know this at the time. he says. but
learned it later. Schmidt and his
wife quarrsled and she took the two
children with her to Bayonne, where
she is now living. He is being rep

Essential for Good Radio Set

Most radio fans are so intent on
listening in, that they often forget
to take the proper care of their sets.
Here are some pointers that may
keep your expenses low and your
receptive power high:
In most tubes the filament current
is supplied by a six-volt storage bat
terry. To use this complete voltage
would cut down the life of the tube.
SO a rheostat is used for the regula-
ton of the current.
There is also a switch of some
kind. Instead of regulating the cur
rent.by the rheostat. some amateurs
set it and then simply throw the
switch.
This is wrong.
Never throw the load on the fla
ment suddenly. Feed it in slowly
BY a general advance in the rheo-
stat.
'One cannot accurately tell just
how much voltage should be applied
TO the flament, for that depends on
the condition of the tube. Generally
speaking the current flow should be
between four and five volts.
The "B' battery is always left
connected TO the plate of the tube
But it should be variable in steps.
Some detector tubes require ~ L.
volts. while others perform most efi-
GENTLY on II or is volts.
When used for simplifying tubes
also. the "B" battery Should be vari-
able from 40 to so volts.
Never use any more voltage on
either plate or flament than is abb
solutely necessary, fer the tube may
q paralyzed.
With the proper care, the TUBE
should last many months.
Some amateurs use neither GRO
leak nor grid condenser. But these
parts are so inexpensive and helpful
in increasing the efficiency of the set
that every vacuum tube set owner
should use them.
They can be made easily, as de-
scribed in these columns before.
BE sure that the leak and con-
denser used are of the proper value
for your receiver.
Poor soldering and loose connec-
tiops cause the greatest inetficiency.
Every radio fan should go over
all connections MISUNDERSTANDING
from the aerial and working down
TO the ground.
