Il Nasksr Sherman J. Lowell Of New

On several important lsgislatics msa-

'"Ths most outstanding Legislative
Issue at present Il the proposal for q
ship subsidy, which il but one form
more Of government patsrnalism,

'The only justification for such

was particularly shown IN the stand
taken on The Lasksr ship subsidy
I'm now before congress. Il was
felt that such an act would put
America IN disastrous and unjust
competition with the peasants Of
other nations. A large part Of the
session was taken up with tho dis

IN general the granes went on re-
cord a. In favor Of lower taxes. a.
r,rins that taxes are far 70 high at

evasion by issuance Of tax-exempt

demned and a vigorous resolution BY

70, the stopping Of such practices
was passed.

Another measure that was and
viii he opposed by the national

Of these debts was opposed by the
grange on the grounds that the
money for these loans was furnished

the countries owing the debts do not

needless tax on the people to raise
the money wherswith to repay them

More conservative policies IN
building hard roads were advocated
by the national grange. A pay-as-

RADIO FREQUENCY
AMPLIFIERS OPEN
NEW WIRELESS ERA

Radio amateurs are al more or
less familiar with audio frequency
application. Radio frequency am
plification. however, is mysteriously
spoken Of The reason. for this is
that up until very recently radio
frequency application was imprac-
teal cn the low wave lengths used
by amateurs and the various broad
casting stations. Recent develop
ments, however, have made low
wave radio frequency amplincation
not only practical, bue very de-
sirabie.
AUdio frequency amplifiers do e.
actiy what their name implies-and
no more; that Is. they amplify rhe
current that has passed through the
detector and has been rcctified into
a 7ulsating direct current By the
one way valve action of the detector
tube and grid condenser.
Some currents are too weak ~
cause this rectifying process 10
take place, and. therefore, pass
through the detector at radio
frequencies, producing no signal in
the phones.
A strong signal will be amplihed
-
weak one. as the application ratio
is dependent upon the square of the
applied voltage to the detector.
The radio frequency amplifier
strengthens the incoming signal
before it reaches the detector, be-
fore it is rectified. Strong and
weak currents are amplified in ex-
actly the same ratio. Obviously
tins feature is very desirable from
the standpoint OF the amateur with
l small antenna and a question: dc
receiving location.
By merely inserting one or more
stages OF radio frequency amplifi-
cation he can build up the weak
currents that previously had
passed through the detector with
cut being rectified. until they are
capable of producing a loud signal.
Audio frequency application can
now be used to boost these signals
to any desired intensity.
An excellent receiving station
combination is one consisting OF
two stages of radio frequency am
plification, a detector and one step
of audio frequency application
This combination will bring in sig
mails that could not possibly have
been heard before no matter how
many stages of audio frequency
application had been used.

CONVENTION HALL
FUND us $45O,OOO
Clark Griffith, of Nationals,
Presents Subscription
For $4,000.

At a meeting of team captains
and other members of the Washing
ton Auditorium Organization COM
mittee at the New willard. last
night. workers reported that $780,
900 in subscriptions and pledges
had been raised. This leaves but
$50, 900 more to be subscribed.
Among a number of substantial
subscriptions was $4,000 by Clark
Griffith, president of the Nationals.
Charles w. Semmes. president of the
Washington Rotary Club, quoted Mr.
Griffith as saying. Il am proud as a
citizen of Washington to make this
personal investment in our city, and
L believe every public minded citi-
zen who gives the matter thought
will feel the same way"
Col. r. n. Harper. chairman of
the committee in charge Of the
drive, has announced that bronze
tablets will be placed in the lobby
of the new convention hall upon
which will be inscribed the names
of individuals, firms and corpora
tions who subscribe to stocks and
bonds of the hall. This is a labor
of love and civic duty" Col. Harper
declared, and we feel that the
greatest possible honor should go
to those who are investing their
money in this enterprise"
The expense of the committee, it
is said. has been less than 5000 to
date. Cost of incorporation will
consist of the District fee only, a
well known lawyer having under
taken the work gratis.

GLUEY PALS AGAIN
In CLUTCH OF LAW
Police Say They Have Been
Together in Many Esca-
pades Since 1918.

Emilio Joseph Mercurio. 81. and
George T. Watson, %, are pals in
separable.
They can't be kept apart, police
records show. The pals are about
to start their second stretch in the
Federal penitentiary at Atlanta.
They were arrested together on
burglary charge in April, 1918.
Together they sawed their way out
of a cell at the Second precinct
station.
The next day they were arrested
together again on burglary
charge. This time they were SEN
fenced to ten years at Atlanta. To-
gether, in February, 1919, they were
paroled.
Together, last Friday, they were
arrested again on a charge of car
rying concealed weapons. They
pleaded guilty before Judge Nc
Mahon yesterday in Police Court.
Together they were ordered con-
fined in the District Jail. Here they
will stay together a while longer
until the parole board of the De-
rartment of Justice acts on their
joint records. Then they will go
back together to serve some more
time a. Atlanta together.

Questions and Answers

Q, How long will a 6-voit 6o-am-
pere hour battery last. with ordI-
nary use. J. r.
A. Recharging the battery regu-
larly and keeping the solution al
ways above the plates. a battery
will last two or three years, and
even longer.
Q. What is a ticker? what must
add to a short wave regenerative
set to make it go up to 5000
metres? Do / need a lightning
switch for an indoor aerial?
W. II.
A. A ticker is the coil in series
with the plate circuit II is coupled
to the secondary circuit OF the
tuner. and produces application OF
the signals by means of a feed back
action. To go up to the long wave,
you had better get a separate set
of coils. such as the honey comb.
and use multipole switch to
change from one set TO the other.
A lightning switch is not neces-
sary for any kind OF an aerial.
Q. Please inform me what is the
price OF the cheapest radio set that
is worth buying. G. l.. Y.
A. Fairly good receiving sets can
be purchased as low as SIS. You
should 20 to some of the radio
stores in the city and see il you can
pick out what you want. There is

instead Of bakelite? Would it be
better to partition off the section
