AMATEURS SHOULD PLAY FAIR
Radio Inspector Schmidt Urges That They Learn the Laws and
 Regulations.

Nine out of every ten radio fans are good sports, but the tenth is either Il fan withy poor judgment or ''rotter." It is up to the amateurs to see that restrictions are not imposed upon them, by playing fair, says Radio In spector l.. R. Schmidt of the Ninth district.
 This can be done by observing cer- tain cautions and by becoming posted on the radio laws and regulations. A copy of these regulations may be ob- tained from the superintendent of doc uments, government printing office, Washington, D. C., for 15 cents. It Is worth while te spend 15 cents in order to be square shooter" in the radio game.
 The great trouble with amateurs is that when they want to send a mes sage around corner they put on all the power they have with the hope that some one in Texas might pick up their message. The object should be to use the minimum amount of power to get the message to its destination.
 "ln all circumstances, except in case of signals or radiograms relating to vessels in distress, all stations shall use the minimum amount of energy necessary to carry out any communi- cation desired"
 Amateurs should keep their wave length to 200 meters.
 They should use a pure wave" or, as the regulations state, If the send ing apparatcs IS of such a character that the energy is radiated in two or more wave lengths, more or less sharp ly defined, as indicated by q sensitive wave meter, the energy in no one of the lesser waves shall exceed 10 per centum of that in the greater
 The wave must be sharp" As to this the regulations state: At all stu. tions the logarithmic decrement per complete oscillation in the wave trains emitted by the transmitter shall not exceed two-tenths when sending dis tress signals or signals and messages relating thereto"
 Amateurs frequently are at fault in calling stations too often. The law states that they can call three times, send I'd e" once and sign their station call three times; but often the anna teurs will send the calls dozen or more times.

DISCOURAGED

Virginia Lady So Weak She Could Hardly Get Around-Says Cardui Helped Relieve a
 Serious Condition.

Ringgold, Na.-MrS. D. T. Barker, of n well-known Pittsylvania County family, residing on Route ?. here. says that upon reaching critical period of her life she was "in very serious condition"
 T was so weakened until I couldn't [ get around Mrs. Barker relates. "I couldn't sleep. I was so blue and out of heart. 1 had no appetite.
 "I would . try medicines, and grew weaker and weaker, more out of heart every day. I would get up and try to drag around, and feel so miser- able. and creep back to bed.
 My husband bought me Cardui. l thought the first bottle helped me. and when l began the second. I knew 1t did. l kept 1t up-each day grow ing little stronger, q little more like my former self and I began to eat and sleep.
 Tt sure wasn't long until was up and around like another woman. No more dragging; no more weak and blue feeling. It cured me. l used seven bottles in all."
 Thousands of women have suf- fered as Mrs, Barker describes. until they found relief from the use of Cardui Since il has helped so many you should not hesitate to try Cardui. If troubled with womanly ailments.

PREPARE TO CONTROL
 GRASSHOPPER PESTS
Tests Made to Determine Most
 Effective BaitS.
Special Agent of Bureau of Entomol. ogy Assigned to Make lnvestisa- tion Bearing on Situation
 in Infested Regions.

Various steps are being taken in the regions heavily infested by graSshop- pers last year to prepare for their adequate control during the coming season should the same situation arise, says the United States Depart ment of Agriculture
 At recent conference attended by entomologiSts from Canada, as well as state and federal entomologists, plans were co-ordinated for conducting a series of experiments this year to de- termine the most effective poisoned baits for various species of grasshop- pers which infest different regions. The work is to be done on uniform basis, so that the results obtained may be easily compared.
 It is also planned to construct an international map, showing in large, regional way the grasshopper condi- tions in both Canada and this country. This map will be available both in making an annual record and for fu- ture reference in control work. A spe- cial agent of the bureau of entomol- ogy, with headquarters at Billings, Mont, has been assigned to make in- vestigations bearing on the grasshop- per situation this year in Wyoming, North Dakota, Minnesota and other affected areas.

 To test the continuity of the cir cult of pair of telephone receivers, touch the tips of the cord phone to the tongue. If the receivers are in reason ably good condition slight click will be heard. If the response in one re ceiyer seems to be weaker than that in the other, examine the diaphragm of the receiver giving the weaker re- sponse and see If 1t is bent toward the pole piece. Try tuning the diaphragm over if such is the case. Be careful when the diaphragm of receiver is removed that the leads of fine wire from the magnet spools to the con nection blocks do not become broken in handling.
 If the continuity of the circuit of a pair of telephone receivers Is checked and no response Is heard when the cord tips are touched to the tongue. try checking each receiver of double head set separately.

HOW TO GROUND AN AERIAL
h Properly Done It Really Protects the Property From
 Lightning.

Generally speaking, aerlals do not attract lightning, but they do store up atmospherical electricity, and of course. this condition. does create a hazard However, when the aerial is properly grounded 1t then acts as a lightning rod and really protects the property from this electrical hazard.
 Briefly. the fire underwriters require that the aerial be grounded when not in use by copper wire no smaller than R. $. Gauge No. i or larger, and run said wire as directly as possible to the outside ground.
 This means that water, gas or steam pipes inside the property cannot be used for lightning ground, because if ever this ground was called into service there is possibility that fire and loss of life may result. So do not use Inside grounds for lightning pro tection.

 Bordeaux mixture also acts us de- ! terrent.
 Late Bllsht.-A rapid blighting of the leaves. accompanied by rotting of the fruit. Is due to the same fungus as that causing potato late-blight. This is common in the Appalachian re- zion.
 It is controlled by spraying with Bordeaux mixture, as advised for leaf spot
 Leaf.Spot.-In leaf-spot. the leaves are covered with dark brown spots (Fig. B and shrivel and die, beginning at the base of the plant. This is the worst disease of the tomato. Spray with bordeaux mixture and resin fish oil soap before the disease appears, and repeat at ten-day intervals. Try to spray the lower side of the leaves as well as the upper side.
 Mosaic Disease. - Mosaic disease crumples and distorts the leaves and produces irregular, light green areas. The plants are weak and un- fruitful. In the ''fern-leaf' type the leaves become very narrow.
 Mosaic disease is communicable from plant to plant by insects, espe- cially plant-lice, and by contact. When it appears in gardens it Is best to de- stroy the affected plants and set out others.

(Pcepared by the United States Department
 of Agrtcufpure.)
 The insects which attack the potato and the eggplant injure the tomato to less extent, and tomatoes suffer greatly from pests.
 Tomato Hornworms.
 The tomato hornwornls are large green worms, sometimes called tomato worms or tobacco worms, as they feed about equally well on both plants They are the larvae, or young, of large sphinx moths of two species, which are very similar in habits and distribution. These insects produce two broods, and when they begin to mature they cut all the leaves from tomato plants. Growers should be on the lookout for the first as we'll as the second brood. They appear at vari- ous times, according to the locality.
 Controi.-IIard picking can be practiced, but it takes an experienced eye to detect these worms when they are at rest. When feeding they are more easily seen and can be destroyed readily. A single application of lead arsenate at the usual rate will de- stroy them even though crudely ap- piled. Those which eat the poison first will be found dead the following day. The remainder will be found on the second or third day.
 Tomato Fruitworm.-The tomato fruitworm is the same insect as the boll-worm of cotton and the corn earworm and is the cause of much trouble to tomato growers, because of It's eating into Ne ripening fruit and destroying it's market value.
 ControI.-Lead arsenate, pounds to 25 gallons of water. applied two or three times. will keep the insect under partial control. As long as sweet corn is growing in the vicinity it attracts the worms, leaving the to- matoes less subject to attack. Hand picking is too difficult.
 Cutworms.-Various cutworms at tack the tomato when 1t is set out ln- deed. 1t is the favorite food plant of most forms of cutworms
 Flea-Beetles.-The potato flea-beetle frequently attacks tomatoes and does considerable damage.

RADIO
INSTRUCTIONS FOR
 TROUBLE SHOOTING
How to Detect and Remedy the Open Circuit, Short Circuit
 and Leakage.

Radio circuits are subject to the same ills that the ordinary power circuits are subject to. However, to cure them is not such difficult task as might be supposed, especially if some logical procedure Is used.
 If receiver is we'll put together in the first place and all contacts and other parts gone over once in while, there is no reason why there .should be any trouble. But the human be- ing is prone to err, so that for the ''once in while" that is liable to hap pen, this article will be devoted to the explanation of what might happen to simple receiver and the best way to fix it.
 The usual troubles of the receiver fall under one of the following thsee headings:
 1-An open circuit.
 PA short circuit.
 3-Leakage.
 An open circuit cen most easily be detected by means of series lamp. Nearly every one has available the or dinary 110 volt lighting circuit Take an ordinary extension cord and cut one wire at any convenient place and use these two ends as test clips or tips. The extension cord is plugged into the house lighting circuit at any convenient outlet and when the two cut ends are held together the lamp will light as the circuit is closed When the tips are held open the cir cult is "open" and the light will go out
 Suppose 1t is desired to test for an open circuit in tuning coil. Connect one tip to one end of the winding and the other test clip to the slider. AS the

TIPS TO THE RADloisT

The higher the aerial the stronger the signals. An increase of five 10 ten feet fin the height of the flat top aerial will ia- crease signals.
 Addiction of 6 variable con- denser to the secondary or to the primary of sa loose coupler often helps to tune out tho undeslred signals.
 The sliders on taning coils of- ten make poor contacts with the slide rod. .Tails much of the signal strength is lost. You cn overcome this by soldering a flexible wire to the slider.
 Increase length of spreaders of two, three or four-wire aerials from six to ten feet for best results. Each wire should be from four to six feet from it's neighbor. Two wires one or two feet apart are no better than one wire. Likewise -four wires on short spreaders ,are no bet ter than one wire.
