as a major in the World war, studying
gas warfare at the British front and
serving in charge Of the gas and flame
branch of the trench warfare section
of the United States army.
"The purpose of gas In warfare is
to produce as much agony and torture
as possible, in order that the victim
may be at least incapacitated, If not act
ually killed." Major Mathews is quoted
as saying to the American Legion
news service. "And IL is inconceivable
that state should desire to use gases
which produce such effects. The pur-
pose of capital punishment is to re-
move the victim quietly and effective
ly, in order that society henceforth
may be protected and to serve as a
warning to other potential evildoers.
at is to be hoped that civilization
has reached point where revenge Is
no longer a motive. Only savages tor
ture their victims before killing them (;
the use of any of the war gases to re-
move criminals would be quite in line
with the practice of savages."
Professor Mathews said there were
gases which might be used for, eXecu-
tlons, If the use Of gas at all could
ever be deemed wise. Carbon diOxide,
the poisonous constituent of ordinary
Illuminating gas, he declared woul2
be the logical one to use. He asserted,
however, that If the administration of
gas for execution of criminals were
carried out, 1t should be entirely in
the hands of medically trained men
who understand both Its use and at
tendant dangers.
"The horrors Of poorly carried out
electrocutions are sufficiently vivid in
the minds of thinking people to make
them abhor any method Of execution
which may not be both humane and
effective" he declared.

deliver potential that only varies
slightly, due to the commutator ripple.
In sections where direct current is
used for house lighting, a motor gen
orator set is the only practical and
satisfactory source of plate potential.
Taking first cost, maintenance cost,
convenience and space required into
consideration the best way to obtain
the required current potential for the
operation OF vacuum tube transmit
ters, is by the use of step-up trans
former and rectifylng tubes.
A line of vacuum tube rectifers Is
on the market under the name "ken-
otrons." These tubes have been de-
signed to have the proper operating
characteristics to rectify alternating
current for the line of transmitting
tubes put on the market by the same
company.
If radlotron transmitting tubes are
used 1t is only necessary to build or
purchase transformer with a fila
ment heating winding and a plate cur
rent winding and by the use Of keno
irons for rectifiers. The entire power
to operate the transmitting set can be
taken from the alternating current
house lighting circuit.
1t is possible to use an electrOlytic
rectifer in order to rectify the plate
potential after the 10 volt house
lighting circuit has been stepped up
h.f, 90 trafaufnen.nt EIapNrn-
lytic rectifiers are probably the cheap
est source Of plate potential, but they
are sloppy and demand a lot of care
and attention.
To operate the standard hye-watt
transmitting tube, known as radio
tron type Nv 202, plate voltage
of $50 is required and the plate cur
rent per tube is 45-l00 of an ampere.
The iilament requires 90 amperes at
rs volts. Rectifying tubes known as
kentron type Nv e16 are made to
be used In conjunction with the five
watt transmitting tubes. The recti-
fer tubes are so designed that one rec
tlfier will rectify sufficient current at
the correct potential to operate one
transmitting tube.
Figure "A" shows how single
transformer can be used to furnish
all Of the necessary plate and fila
ment current for a tube transmitter.
For those who do not wish TO be
bothered with the trouble and expense
Of rectifiers, there is circuit known
as the self-rectifying circuit that can
be used for radio telegraphy. In
using seif-re:tifying circuit at least
TWO tubes must be employed. II more
power is desired tubes must be added
in pairs. The tubes employed are dl.
vided into two groups operating on
each half of the cycle.

Half Time For
Milford Children

1t has been found impossible I'M
der present conditions in Milford, by
reason of a lack of rooms, as we'll as
teachers available capable of doing
the work, to have all children in the
primary grades attend school on a
full day schedule. One half of the
pupils enrolled attend in the mornings
and the other half attend in the af-
ternoons. All of these children are
residents of Milford. 1t is unfortu-
nate that such conditions exist-but
they do and the authorities are doing
the best that is possible under the ex-
listing conditions for the children. We
must have a new high school build

school for the primary department
and lower grades in the grammar
school grades. Will the parents of Mil

children?
