Farmers Break Out
Public Highway

Because the voters in the Wat
erford town meeting last March
had an economical streak and
made no appropriation for break
ing out the roads of the town in
winter, that portion of the main
highway in Waterford from St.
Johnsbury to Passumpsic will be
kept open to traffic by the farm
crs of that section. c. E. Harvey
and George NJ Gray have taken it
upon themselves to keep the road
open and after the heavy storm Of
last Sunday engaged Joseph Bar
ny to run the road scraper. A
road was soon made wide enough
Cor two automobiles to pass and
the road will be rolled if necessary
after future storms. The drift ex-
tended from the residence Of Will
liam u. Pelley 20 a point below
the buildings on the Wayside farm
and until it was scraped out traf-
fic by automobile was impossible.
Several interested in keeping the
road open have already veluntar7
lily contributed to the cost of the
work and any others ecan send
their contribution to George M.
Gray who will have charge of f.
nancing the work through the
winter season.

Nearl'- 5000 producers arc firht-

Contrary to the expectation the
upkeep of the rink is very much
more than that of the toboo"an

rink who have as yet made no
contribution to the finances of the
club and while membership in the
Winter Sports Club is not a COM
pulsary qualification for using the
rink those who are continually
patronizing it will be given q
chance to purchase a membership

"Bonny Bill .Bonney"

William NJ. Bonney of Bowdoin-
ham, treasurer of State, is a fire.
quent visitor to Portland and always
gets warm greeting from his many
friends hereabouts, says the Press
Herald. Mr.. Bonney has shaved
his moustache and looks somewhat
older than he did when as speaker
of the House he proved one of the
most popular presiding officers of
the lower branch of the Maine Leg
islature. He is, however. the same
"BOnny Bill Bonney," who was al
ways sure of a great hand from his
associates wherever he appeared.
Most men, who have been in pub
lie life the number of years that Mr.
Bonney has, have usually acquired
a choice assortment of enemies as
well as friends. The man from
BoWdoinham has the faculty of MAX
ing friends but somehow nobody
could think of being a personal or
partisan enemy of Mr.. Bonney.
No one seems to know fiust where
Mr. Bonney acquired this happy fac
rlty of making friends with everv
one with whom he came in contact
but some of those who have followed
his career think that his early work
as successful book salesman was
based upon this fine art. :

Another coil is then placed so as
coil. This second coil, commonly
calledthe secondary, may be made of
about 100 turns of No. % double
cotton covered wire wound on card
board cylinder which will slide easily
into the primary cylinder. Four or
five taps or more should be brought
out to one end of this coil 80 that the
number of turns in use can be adj
justed by large steps. A variable air
condenser in parallel with the sec
ondary coil permits of fine adjust
ments of this circuit to the desired
WaVe-length. About the same size of
condenser should be used here as was
used in the primary, namely, one of
about O.001 microfarad capacity.
From the secondary condenser one
side Of the circuit goes to a crystal
detector unit f. The essential parts
| of this device comprise a fairly large
crystal of galena or silicon against
which fine piece of spring bronze
wire (called a cat whisker) makes a
light contact. Galena, due to it's eX-
IRENE senstiveness, is the most wide
ly used material in this field, al
though it may hold its sensitiveness
for only few minutes at time. All
crystals OF any one material are not
equally sensitive, nor are all spots on
any one crystal as good as all others.
For this reason it is best to try out
many points on the crystal by NOV
ing the metallic point from place to
place and listening. Some points will
be found which give stronger signals
than do others, and the former should
be used.
The circuit from the crystal detec-
ter to the remaining terminal of the
secondary condenser is completed by
set of telephone receivers & of about
1000 ohms resistance. Since much of
the success of receiving depends upon
the receivers, it is desirable to pur-
chase a good quality set. 1t is de-
sirable in most cases to connect a
small fixed condenser II in parallel
with the receivers. This may be an
air condenser of 00006 microfarad
capacity corresponding in size with
one made of II circular plates about
3 inches in diameter.

GOVERNOR ON
HOSPITAL DAY

Governor Baxter Thursday sent the
following letter giving his endorse
ment of National Hospital Day:
May IL, 1922.
Miss Rachel A. Metcalfe, State
Chairman, National Hospital Day
Committee, Central Maine General
Hospital, Lewiston, Maine.
My dear Miss Mctca,fe:
The annual observance Of Hospi-
tai Day which this year occurs on
Friday May 18th, brings to the at
tentlon of our citizens the wonderful
work being done by the hospitals
within our State. May 18th, is the
anniversary of the birth of Florence
Nightingale who was the pioneer
nurse and whose name will always
be reyered. Great strides have been
made in the past few gears and to-
day the nurses of Maine stand second
to none in their profession. 1t has
been said that a community is known
by its churches and schools and I
believe that we should add to that
list its hospitals. I hope the dav
will come when every community in
the State will have suitably
equipped hospital.
National Hospital Day will arouse
an interest in hospital work and l
am, very glad to express my interest
in the work of the hospitals of our
State.
Cordially yours.

Muscle Shoals Is
Misleading Public
Says Ga. Engineer

Atlanta, Ga, May 1.-THE public
mas been mislead on the Muscle
Shoals development, c. c. Adsit. di-
rector and executive engineer of the
Georgia Railway and Power Com
pany, told the American Society of
Mechanical Engineers in it's spring
meeting here today. The Southeast.
MI. Adsit said, has many undeyel-
oped Water-power sites which can be
developed on commercial basis to a
much better advantage than the de-
Velopment at Muscle Shoals.
1t is distinctly run of-river
proposition, as no storage is created
by the dam except that required to
control the daily flow Of the river,
continued Mr.. Adsit.
The greatest fluctuation in anv
stream in the Southeast proba bly oc-
ours in the Tennessee River. The
United States government, in nlan-
ming a, development at Muscle Shoals
recognized this fact and contemplated
an installation of 100000 kilowatts
only portion of which can be de-
pended upon for continuous power.
According to photographs of the riv-
er at this point, the amount of strict
~ primary power at Muscle Shoals
averages about 100000 horse power
and even this figure is based on the
assistance of some steam capacity
which must be maintained.
1T is a source of considerable re-
sret to engineers who are familiar
with the Tennessee River to read in
the press of the enormous amount of
power allotted to Muscle Shoals de-
Velopment, usually stated at 1,00O,-
ooo horsepower, and the consequent
misleading of the general public on
this much discussed project.
The development has distinctly a
stream flow characteristic, the dis
charge of the river varying widely
