AN EXPLANATION
BY PROF. SIMMONS

February l4th, l922.
MessrS. Editors:
In October. DR.. j. o. Knott a repre-
sentative of the National Alliance
Lyceum Bureau came to our school
to solicit the. cooperation of the teach
erS and pupils in giving "A series of
entertainments in Snow Hill. After
he assured US that we would not be
under any obligations, we told him
that we would do all we could to-
wards selling season tickets, adver-
Using the courses. and making the
series of entertainments success.
We sold few season tickets and two
of the five numbers were given. The
door receipts from these two enter
tainments did not pay the hall rent,
consequently the remaining numbers
could not be given without mourning
an expense to both school and lyceum
bureau.
am sure those who bought season
tickets. bought them with the idea
that they were helping the school,
therefore they hold the school respon-
sible for the remaining numbers of
the course. The tickets were sold
for the National Alliance Lyceum
Bureau and not for the school, but
II there are any who want their
tickets redeemed the school will re-
deem them by seeing the under
signed.

THE GOSPEL RALLY
4 GREAT SUCCESS

The Gospel rally at Whatcoat NJ.
f. Church. after little more than
two weeks campaign, closed Sunday
evening. Rev. George w. Cooke, as
sisted by the Rev. Fred Nreeand,
proved themselves blessed servants
of Jesus Christ.
The meeting started with great
handicap of stormy weather, follow
ed by the illness of the pastor, but
there was an increase in interest at
each service. and large congregations
attended, even taxing the capacity
Of the large church. Many CONVEX
sions resulted. and the church was
wonderfully helped with new life.
1t was a great meeting. The large
chorus choir, with MIR. Nleeland
leading, had large part in it. Mr..
Cooke. with his trombone, aeola, and
his solos, produced great effect. His
preaching. scholarly, tactful, pro-
found yet simple, was the kind need
ed for this day. Those who could
attend were helped.
This kind of meeting, every
church needs, if it is TO carry out
Gods plan in helping to remedy the
moral and social ills of the commun-
ity by keeping high ideals before the
people.
The Evangelists were Christian
gentlemen, who captured all hearts,
not barred against them. They left
Monday for Baltimore to join in
another crusade May Gods blessing
continue with them.

Some Points on Crystal DetectorS

ing up the crystal into three or four
pieces with hammer gave me three
or four excellent detectors In the place
of one, even though these detectors
were smaller.
II you do this you may be puzzled
as TO how to mount these small pieces
in the detector stand This is quite
easy. Simply embed them in a ball
Of tinfoil from a pack of cigarettes
or piece of chocolate and clamp the
tinfoil in the detector stand.
| once got excellent results from an
experiment | tried with four or five
r,eccs Of galCna upon which | could
not find single sensitive spot. One
Of these pieces was mounted in COM
position in the usual cup 50 ! simply
melted tho composition away with nv
soldering blow torch. replaced the empty
cup on the stand. ground up all of the
supposedly dead crystals into fairly
fine powder and filed the cup with It,
Thereafter | found plenty of sensitive
spots and. if there was any difficulty
in finding one. | tapped the cup fairly
hard with my finger and this
usually located what l wanted.
/ And this search for a sensitive spot
leads me to one other phase Of the
crystal dctector which does not amuse
me but fairly makes me furious. This
is the failure of beginners TO use buzzer
testers. 1t reminds me Of my first
assignment as ships operator. |
sailed on n molasscs tanker for Cuba
on an hours notice and found that
the old ia shioned set with which | was
TO be ship mates had no buzzcr tester.
Two days north of Miami. Fla. the
"od man fled a message for that
station and | called them on power
full -kilowatt set and listened for
an answer, but there was none. II
was my first commercial message and
was determined to get it through
so I sat up all night calling Miami
every fifteen minutes without success.
In desperation | spent all Of my time
in the wireless shack hurting ''WST s
through the ether with no result.
Late the next afternoon | heard them
answer me and tell me TO 60 ahead.
shot my message. got my receipt and
rushed UP to the "old man.
Il got it through, | said trium-
phantly.
He snrernd and pointed silently 70
the Florida shore not five miles west
of us. There were the great towers Ot
the Miami station which had been heard
regularly all the way across the ATLANTIC
Ocean and | was proud Of having heard
them five miles, l learned later that
they had heard my very first call and
had acknowledged it; but. having NJ
buzzer tester to tell me that my point
was not on q sensitive spot of the
dptector, | could not hear them and
! wasted nv" whole days and must
have in,erfprcd with dozens Of impOr-
tant messages by my wild calling every
fifteen minutes.
BY all means pat bU22nr tester or
your crystal set or. il YOU don't, don't

IL IL perfectly ea"-- thing to sit
down and write an article telling how
to make complete receiving set for
a dollar. have been much amused
at n number of such articles ! have
seen and particularly at the ingenious
devices evolved to take the place of
the usual crystal detector stand. Most
ct these devices simply use twisted
wire to make the contact with the crys-
tai and you are directed to find the
sensitive spot with 1t.
Instead of telling YOU ~ find the
sensitive spot they ought to dare you
to find II. These things are all right
for the experienced amateur who
knows exactly where and how to locate
trouble in his set. but there is nothing
that gives the average beginner moro
bother than finding-anG keeping-a
sensitive spot on his ;,icCe Of mineral.
1t is astonishing the number of diff
ferent types of crystal holders that have
appeared on ;:.c market since this radio
broadcasting craze began. | think |
must have personally tested fifty OF
them and these tests have convinced
me that the only type fc" one who IS
not skilled in radio is some such ap-
paratus as shown in the il lustration.
There are many makes on the market
choice may well be left TO the one
which the purchaser feels fits his hand
the best.
This style of stand holds the crystal

whisker wire Is bent at right angles
and IS mounted upon ball and socket
joint or pair of swivcls or gmbalS or
some such arrangement 70 give It abso-
lutely free play in all directions.
The advantage this type Of stand has
over all others is due TO the fact that
a difference of pressure almost OF the
weight Of feather applied to the
catwhisker on the Herector Will cause
a vastly great difference in the clear
ness and strength Of the signals. For
this reason. ali devices which have a
spring pressure are bad and those which
depend upon screw and thread are
undesirable because. the moment you

certain to take the end OF t." cat

may have a heap Of trouble finding II

And this leads me to another point
about galena which does not seem Il
be generally understood by beginners
This is the fact that, while a piece
Of galena may be a very fine detector:
il may have all of this ability stored
in one particular spot no bigger man
a pins head and be absolutely dead all
over the rest of It's surface. Once you
get your catwhiSker away from this tiny
efficient spot you may nav" your own
troubles finding it again.
