SHERIFF CLEMENTS
DEFENDS REGIME
Tells Citizens of Clarendon
Crime Cut in Half in
Two Years.

CLARENDON. Va, June al
Sheriff A. c. Clements. of Arlington
County. warmly defended his ad-
ministartion before the Clarendon
Citizens Association last night. He
had taken as a personal attack the
resolution adopted at the previous
meeting advocating the naming of
a number of citizens as special Of
f1cers to aid the authorities in sup
pressing crime.
This action was taken following
the dozen or more robberies and
holdups in center Clarendon, IL be-
ing thought that with thirty
square miles to vatrol, 700 resi-
dents to the mile. the sheriff and
his three deputies could not sue
cessfully cope with the situation
The sheriff in his address declared
that crime in the county had been
reduced by One-half within two
years.
President Taylor stated in his
reply that the citizens association
reserved the right to criticise any
public official. but that the resolu-
tion in question in no way re-
flected on his ability, but was in
tended rather to aid him in what
appeared to be the beginning of
an epidemic of crime
The association indorsed the re-
viving of the Civic Federation and
named as delegates DR.. Frank T.

Conductor l47l
Proves Gallantl.y
With True ChesterHeldian Air
He Aids Tired Mothers
To Alight.

The Lord Chesterfeld Of the street
car companies has been discovered.
He Is Conductor 1471. who registers
tokens on a summer car OF the Colum-
bia line Of the Washington Railway
& Electric Company. making trips be.
tween the Treasury and the Chesa-
peake Beach railroad station at the
District line.
Conductor 1471 proved he had the
manners of a Chesterfield last night
when hundreds Of excursionists were
returning from an outing at the
nearby bay resort. His car was
crowded with tired mothers. many
with babes in arms and holding more
youngsters by the hand. Some car
ried suitcases. satchels and large
bundles. all Of which go with days
outing.
As the different corners were
reached. the Chestcrhejdian conduc-
tor would jump from the running
board, remove the satchel or parcel
and then lift the small child safely
to the ground and finally assist the
mother from the car.
He performed his little acts OF
courtesy because of a Humanitarian n
urge. apparently, for despite the fact
that few Of those assisted thanked
him-rendered speechless. It seems,
by such gentlemanly treatment-hs
continued untiringly each time the car
stopped to discharge passengers.

ASKS BUSINESS TO
aid IN AVERTINC
/. COAL PRICE PANIC
u. S. Chamber of Com
merce Head Plans to
Prevent Runaway.
ASKS FUEL SURVEY
Proposal Anticipates Possible
> Shortage Due to
Strike.

= Julius H. Barnes, president of the
Chamber of Commerce of the
United States. yesterday called upon
I.4OO business organizations within
the Chamber to lend their co-opera-
tion in helping to prevent a run
away" coal market by appointing
fuel committees to make a survey
of the local coal situation.
In a letter urging such action,
Mr.. Barnes calls attention to the
fact that while Secretary Hoover's
plan has thus far proved effective,
and coal men are endeavoring to
prevent runaway prices, the ulti-
+nate success of the plan depends
upon the cooperation OF the con-
sumer himself.
"Appreciative of the consumers
responsibility in this matter, Mr..
Hoover suggested to the public utiI-
Ities. railroads and metallurgicai
Industries that they each appoint a
buyers committee authorized to Sc
cuTe and distribute such coal as is
needed by the operating plants In
ihe respective industries repre-
scented. Active steps are being
taken to make this plan effective.
g. AhCSE are the
Three largest group users of coal,
there are many other Industrial and
individual consumers whose needs
must receive consideration. Owing
10 the varied character and widely
scattered location of these con-
sumers, their interests can best be
represented by their local chambers
OF commerce and trade associations
with which they are associated or
with which they can make contact"
In view of a possibility of the
strike continuing until depletion of
stocks becomes serious" the letter
said, II believe that in the general
public interest this situation should
be anticipated as much as possible
In the absence of other machinery
and in view of a possible emergency
J suggest that you appoint a fuel
committee to survey the conditions
relative to stocks on hand and
needs in your community or idustry:
and. further. that this information
be compiled so that in event the
situation does become serious II can
be used in any plan involving a dis
ztribution of available coal"

RADIO EXPANSION
CAUSES INCREASED
MINERAL DEMANDS
Dependable Supply of
Crystals for Detectors
Sought.

The mining industry of the coun-
try in certain quarters is being af-
tected by the widespread extension
of the use of the radio telephone.
The supplying of crystals of certain
ores has become a small industry in
itself.
These mineral crystals are used
as detectors that transform the pull
sating electrical vibrations received
by the antennae into those that can
be converted into sound waves by
the telephone receiver. The bright
cubical crystals of galena. a COM
pound of sulphur and lead. is a IA
vorite detector. and pyrite or chal-
copyrite, the first combination in
chemical form of sulphur and iron
and the other. sulphur, iron and
copper, are also used.
Search Their Ores
Not all crystals of these minerals
will detect radio messages with
clearness. A demand for suitable
crystals has caused the mining op-
orators to search over their ores
and to submit their perfect crystals
for the radio manufacturers. Mean
while there is a constant search fol
a dependable supply of the best ma
terial.
Few amateur radio enthusiasts
probably. are aware that there is
one material in the many pieces OF
apparatus, that cannot be replaced
by any substitute that scientists
have yet discovered. This material
is mica. a mineral substance found
in nature that has unique d'electiC
properties; that is. it resists the
passage of electricity even at re.
markably high voltages. 1t seem,
unbelievable that thin sheets OF
this transparent material. only one
thousandth of an inch thick. car
SUCCESSFULLY perform this necessary
function.
Affects Copper Market.
The market for copper. which has
been very poor. has also felt the ef.
fects of increased demand due tC
the extensive use of copper wir.
and brass in the manufacture oi
radio outfits. II is estimated thai
each radio receiving set requires al
least two pounds of copper in its
manufacture.

To the Radio Editor.
Referring to the very interesting
letter of D. r. Litsey, under date
OF June IS, will say that in case he

sires TO enable him to tune out local
stations. a two-stage radio frequency.
detector, two-stage audio frequency
regenerative set together with two
or more condensers and a large di-
ameter directional loop aerial, will
enable him to take his pick OF sta
tions. However. he will find that the
radio frequency amplification will dis
appoint him in the local reception
ds the signals will be but little louder
than with plain audio amplification.
Radio frequency is for long distance
reception; also to enable the use of
the inside loop. a most desirable fea-
ture at this season of the year.
l quite agree with Mr.. Litsey in
what he says about interference for
at the present time the vast majority
Of sets are not selective enough to
permit one to choose the station de-
sired. This alone is not on account
of the expense Of such a set, but
largely because the user of today re-
alizes that rapid strides are being
made in the science and a set thought
the peak of perfection one day be-
comes very much out of date within
few months. For instance, Mai.
Armstrong has announced the discov-
cry of new circuit in which he OBJ
tains as much efficiency from a single
tube as may be obtained with three
tubes in some other circuits. Again
tubes are now on the market which
use but 10 per cent or less current as
the tube in modern use. This permit
the use of dry cells and largely re-
duces the current expense.
