Bryan Offers $40
For Teachers Answer
Z To Evolution Queries

M0RGANTOWN, w. Va, June 3.
An offer Of $40 to each. professor at
the head Of science department In
West Virginia university who will
make the answers to a set Of ques-
lions on the Bible as were made by
Prof. r. c. Spangler, was contained
in a letter from William Jennings
Bryan to DR.. Spangler, made public
here today by the latter.
Mr.. Bryan in his letter withdrew
the charge he had previously made
that DR.. Spangler was guilty Of
''cowardly evasion" in the accepting
the Commoner's offer to pay 500 to
any professor who would show har-
mony existing between the Bible
and evolution, and expressed regret
that he had used the words.
After stating that he felt his 500
paid to DR.. Spangler had been well
spent because "at least one evolu-
tionist's tongue will be tied in the
classroom and among students" Mr..
Bryan made his offer to other men,
bers of the university faculty "be-
cause regard this as so much
value to the students that I am
willing to invest little more money
II by so doing can tie a few NOR >
tongues"
In reference to DR.. Spangler's as
sertion that he cid not believe he
was descended from ''the ape Of to-
day. Mr.. Bryan asked him what an
imal he preferred as ancestor.
Zone man recently told me-" the
letter said, that he would prefer
to come from a Jersey cow If he
had to come from an yanimal, while
another, who is fond of hunting,
preferred the setter dog as an an
cestor. What is your choice?"

promises Of support from all sections

HELPFUL CONSTRUCTION
HINTS FOR BEGINNERS

Radio fans have been puzzled dur
ing the past few weeks by noises in
their receivers which they have va
riously described as "scraping,
Scratching" and Clicking"
Many of them have jumped to the
conclusion that something has gone
wrong with their receivers. But the
sets aren't to blame at all. The fault
is entirey natures brand OF radio
static.
This is the main source of dis
turbance in wireless communication.
Engineers for many years have dill
gently applied themselves in an eff
fort to discover some way OF elimi-
mating the effects Of static.
No method has yet been discovered
which will entirely eliminate static,
although many methods have been
put forth for minimizing it's effects
When several of the best devices are
used simultaneously in connection
with any one receiver, it Is possible
to get as high as 80 per cent i'm
provement in that set.
The measures necessary to secure
this improvement, however, are Of
nature entirey unsuited to applica-
ton on the home radiophone set be-
cause they are bulky and expensive.
The first means discovered for the
reduction of static interference was
the tuning" of the receiver circuits.
The next step was one where this
tuning was carried still further-a

REMARKABLE SET
BUILT BY NOVICE

Radio amateurs, like the proven
bal offspring of the lyric muse,
may be born with consuming love
for meters and, unlike the p. o., with
a knack for putting copper wires
and bits Of brass together and evolv-
ing a conan-doy1e device for getting
messages out of the air; but they
also can be made.
Paul Mote, credit manager Of The
Journal, is a case in point. Mr.. Mote
confesses he had never seen a radio
set until WSB, The Journals sta
ton, was installed. That was less
than three months ago. Since then
he has built numerous crystal de-
tector sets, the stepping-stone by
which the radio novice rises to
greater and more complex achieve
ments; has written modest treat
Use on the construction Of crystal
sets, has built two vacuum tube sets
which he passed on to acquaint-
ances less gifted mechanically, and
is now the possessor of a single-tube
regenerative set which he declares
has all other amateur receivers
"beat hollow"
Mr.. Notes radio activities center
chiefly around the homemade set
which he has installed at his resi-
dence, $50 Beecher street, West End.
There, seated before his outfit with
that trance-like air and expression
of grim determination which possess
the radio amateur when he yields
himself soul and body to the lure
ofFthe ethereal, he turns a critical
ear to concerts broadcast by WSB
or tunes in with KDKA, WWJ,
WIZ and other distant broadcast
ing stations as the within of the mo-
ment prompts him.
Two novel features Of Mr.. Notes
receiving set which are his own
adaptation and which he believes
increase the efficiency Of his outfit
are a variometer shunted across the
aerial and ground connections, par
TALLY eliminating static and procur-
ing sharper tuning, and second
variometer of $500 turns used as
plate load to bring in long-wave sig
nails.
Mr.. Mote has recently added a
socket aerial to his equipment, and
expects to put in one or two stages
Of amplif1cation within the next few
days. His success in receiving con-
certs from northern broadcasting
centers over single-tube set with
out application is a record of
achievement not a few amateurs
fain would duplicate.

STOCK LAND BANK
BEING ORGANIZED

The organization Of the Atlanta
Joint Stock Land bank, under pro-
visions of the federal farm loan act,
to operate in Georgia and an adj
jointing state, is planned and now
is under way, according to an an
nouncement Saturday by A. B.
Simms, well-known Atlanta banker,
who has resigned as vice president
Of the Fulton National bank, Of At
lanta, to devote his attention to this
new institution.
"This will be the first bank Of its
kind to be established in this terri
tory" Mr.. Simms said, and pro-
ceeded to suggest some Of the bene-
fits expected to result from it's OPP
Grafton.
Farmers will be enabled to bor-
row money at a low rate Of interest
for periods of from five to forty
years." he said, "at the option of
the borrower. This, of course, will
be q great help to the farmer. The
bank will accumulate mortgages,
which will be deposited with the gov
ernment, and bonds engraved and
supplied by the government will be
sold to the public for a long term
of years, at low rates of interest,
benefiting the farmer and yielding
the bank a substantial profit"
These bonds, said Mr.. Simms, will
not be subject to federal, state, coun-
ty or city taxes-"a feature which
will make them attractive to inves-
tors" he explained. 1.-THE farm mort
cages will be appraised by a repre-
sentative of the bank, and one OF
the government. The bank will be
authorized to issue bonds up to fiji
teen times its capital stock and Sur
plus"
The Atlanta Joint Stock Land
bank will begin with a capital and
surplus of not less than 100000.
The capital stock will be increased as
the business of the bank increases.
The bank will operate in the state
Of Georgia and an adjoining state.
Associated with Mr. Simms in the
new enterprise will be some of the
leading bankers and capitalists in
Georgia, among them B. r. BlakIey,
president Griffin Savings bank; Jo-
seph Calhoun. president First Ma
tional bank, of Gainesville; Hollins
N. Randolph, of Atlanta, general
counsel for the Federal Reserve
bank; J. G. Dodson, capitalist Of At

Fattening Cattle
Proves Profitable

LOUISVILLE, Ga, June &C. c..
Burkhalter, G. w. Firor and several
other farmers have just marketed
another carload of hogs at most
satisfactory price. This car was
shipped to Lawrenceville and is the
seventh car collected by those gen.
tIemen. Mr.. Burkhalter just few
days previous shipped a carload of
cattle to Richmond, Va, and obtain
ed a good price for them. It Is
claimed by many that no better car
of cattle has ever left this county
for any market, and, indeed, 1t is
thought that these COWS would COM
pare most favorably with any to be
found anywhere. They were Ten
nessee COWS and were shipped here
and fed by Mr.. Burkhalter, who
states that he made a handsome
profit with them by raising his feed
at home. Altogether Mr.. Burk-
halter and the farmers in co-opera-
ton have shipped from here this
spring something like $4,000 worth
Of hogs and cows. And they have
found out that there is money in

phone Is best to make a loud speak
err? use a 3,000-ohm phone but
the signals are harsh and distort-
ed when they come in loud. 3. I
get WSB loud and plainly enough
to be heard all over the room, but
have not been able to receive sig
nails from distant stations. Can you
advise me where the trouble ISL"
IT. H. A., 1873 West Baker street,
Atlanta.
Answer. /. Yes, additional "B"
batteries will bring in the signals
louder. Q. The large Baldwin phone
is best for receiving loud signals.
8. It is difficult to state why you
do not hear distant stations, with
out having inspected your equip
ment. If you will visit WSB, The
Journals radio engineer will gladly
discuss your problem with you in
detail.
Glow long should the "B" bat
terry Of a radio receiving set last?
If T leave these batteries connected
when the set is not in use, will this
run the battery down?"-L. M. D.,
Rut1edge, Ga.
Answer. The "B'' battery should
last approximately 500 hours if it
is used internationally. Leaving the
batteries connected when the tube
is not burning will not run them
down.
II have a loose-coupler, phone
condenser, detector and a pair of
1000 ohms phones. 1. How high and
long should the aerial Of my set
be? 2. Can 1 hear WSB? I live
about SIS miles from Atlanta. 8. Can
I use the socket aerial described
in The Journal recently? Who in
vented the socket aerial? 4. With
two variometers and coupler, what
other equipment do need to make
my set regenerative? Should I use
vacuum tubes with the above?"-
H. D. W., Thmaston Ga.
Answer. /. The aerial of your re-
ceiving set should be 40 to so feet
high and between $50 and 200 feet
long to obtain best results. 2. If
the detector is single tube, you
should be able to hear concerts
broadcast by WSB. 3. The socket
aerial, invented by Major George
o. Squier, of the U. S. army, may
be used with any type of receiving
set. 4. To construct regenerative
circuit, you should have grid
variometer, plate variometer, .001
mfds. variable condenser, grid leak,
grid stopping condenser, an "a"
battery potentiometer, tube socket
and rheostat. You should use one
or more vacuum tubes with this
equipment,

Hart Count May Have
Woman Representative

HARTWELL, Ga, June 3.-Two
candidates have announced for rep
resentative from Hart county, Col
oneI John McDuff, local attorney,

ing brought to bear upon Miss EN-
ma Kay, one Of Hartwelps most
prominent women, in an effort to
persuade her to make the race. Hart
county is the only one in the state
named for a woman, and it would be
eminently fitting for the county to be
