Fatal ACCIDENT NEAR
LuvERNE FRIDAY
Freight Conductor on the Great
Northern ;succumbs from Burns
Sustained When His Clothing
Caught Fire.

The railroad bridge near Luverne
was the scene last Friday morning
of an unusual and most deplorable
accident that resulted in the death
of Colby c. Reynolds, freight con-
ductor on the Great Northern, whose
home is at Minot.
The supply train of which Mr..
Reynolds was conductor, had stopped
near the bridge to fill the gasoline
tank at the pump station. The pump
station is located in the valley near
the water but the tank is connected
by pipe level with the track above
so that the gasoline can be drawn
directly from the tank cars on the
track. While doing this, in some
inexplainable way the gas was forced
back with such force as to thoroughly
drench Mr.. Reynolds and even some
of the nearest cars, and it caught fire
at once.
All haste was made to remove Mr.
Reynolds clothing, but before i
could be accomplised he was burnel
over practically his entire body. Firs
aid was rendered by DR.. Wolverton
Then he was placed in the caboose O
the train and rushed to the hospita
at Fargo with all speed, but he diet
the same evening.
Four of the cars in the suppl,
train were burned, but the rest O
the train was uncoupled and takel

MAKING A GOOD START

A man from the Great West was
elected to Congress and, when he
went to Washington, cherished the
idea of doing Great Things for his
Constituency.
His first thought was that he ought
to write great Maiden speech, which
would be published in the Congress
sional Globe.
One nigt, while down at the Big
Union Station, he saw one of the
Careful Crossing Campaign posters
flashed on the train announcer which
so captivated his imagination that he
sat down and thought the matter out
right then and there.
The next day he dictated and sent
circular letter to each voter in his
district. Here in the letter, word
for word:
Boys and Girls of My District:

have something very Important and
very Personal to say to each one OF

XVII. LoOsE-CoUPLED COILS

Coils. or. a. they are more often
called, tuning coils, are very essential
parts Of radio telegraphy and tele-
phony. The old style tuning coil, as
used in wireless telegraphy. has been
largely superseded by the type known
as loose-coupled coils or adjustable
coils which may be altered or adjusted
to tune much 1ner or more closely than
BY the old type coil. Although it is
not difficult to make loose-coupled
coil yet, a. 10 the ease with many Of
the parts Of radio sets, It is as cheap
and far mora satisfactory to purchase
them ready made. The conventional
type Of loose-coupled coil consists Of
two distinct coils, one within the other,
az shown IN Fig. 48. One Of these
Is the primary coil. the other the
secondary or induction coil The two
axe 80 arranged that the inner or
secondary coil slips back and forth
within the larger or primary coil,
thus varying the coupling or induc.
tion. for the electricity-or Oscilla-

attached to movable peg or bolt with
fibre or bakelite knob at the opposite
end. Fig. 4S shows clearly how this
is done. In this way, the secondary
and ticker may be swung back and
forth to cover more or less Of the
primary; but great care should be
used that the ticker does not touch the
primary coil. When the coil is thus
mounted on proper panel or stand,
it should be wired as shown In Fig.
40, and when the whole set is in good
working order and final adjustments
made, it should all be enclosed in q
neat wooden case with hinged top or
cover, Fig. so, although, Of course,
this is merely protective measure and
does not affect the working efficiency
Of the set. 1t must be clearly under
stood, however, that this type Of coil
can only be uGed in connection with
q vacuum-tube outfit as shown. When
all wiring Is complete and adjustments
are ready to be made, connect the
storage battery, as shown; place the
lamp or tube in its socket and gradual.
ly turn on the rheostat to see If the
tube glows properly. Never turn on
the current to the bulb quickly or to
full power, or the filament will be
needlessly burnt out and wasted long
before its time. Next, connect the
B, Cor dry) battery, the ground and
aerial and, finally, the phones.
In using this outfit, turn on the
bulb slowly, adjust the knobs carrying
the coils so that all three are in line
and then adjust or tune the variable
condenser until the signals you wish
to hear are clear. Then, by gradually
adjusting the movable coils, you can
cut out Interference and also make the
signals, music or other sounds louder
When the two movable coils are entire.
ly away from the primary-coil you will
have your shortest wave length, while
when all three are together, you will
have the longest wave length.

Sioux; the days of the great open
range when Theodore Roosevelt
rode herd" in North Dakota, the
modern development of agriculture,
industry and transportation will be
depicted. Perhaps for the last time
citizens of the New West will attempt
to picture in pageantry the memor-
