COWBELLS SAVE THE GRAPES
Novel Alarm Devised by New Yorker
to Discourage Oepredations Of
Nocturnal Visitors

Exasperated by nightly raids OF
small boys on his grape arbOr, a
Sheepshead Bay IN. " resident has
stopped their depredations by attach
Ing cOwbells to the vines. The slight
est pull at the tempting fruit jingles
the alarm and puts the intruders to
fight.
The sandy soil near the bay is par
tlcularly adapted for grapes and most
OF the other houses have large arb0rs
In the back yard. Boys from the new
er houses. which have no arbOrs. be-
gan to call under the cover OF dark
ness even before the grapes were ripe.
They not only took the fruit. but
ruined the vines by crawling and STUN
bling over the arbor.
But the cOwbell alarm brings the
owner TO the door and a second scare
Is generally avoided by the boys. Sew
eral neIghbors, noting the efficacy Of
the system. have also installed cow
bells among their grape vines.

FURTHER ADVICE ON
PUTTING UP ANTENNA
Two Types of Counterpoise De-
scribed-Energy Losses Min
imized by Proper Location.

IL has been stated In previous ar
ticles that an antenna system consists
Of q sO-caIled aerial and a ground. In
certain forms the ground Is also known
as a counterpoiSe.
Sometimes a c0unterpolse Is made
up In a form similar TO the aerial and
r. suspended beneath Il. To a certain
extent this Is true OF the e0unterpolse
used on airplanes. which Is made up
OF all the metal parts Of the plane.
When the earth Is dry or rocky. and
consequently a poor conductor OF cleo
tricity. q cOunterpolse consisting Of
network o. wires is laid on the ground
and directly underneath the horizontal
part % the antenna. II Il Is desired 10

tenna. and for efficient operation.
should even be greater than the an
tenna surface. Also the resistance Of
the c0unterpOlse should be made as
low as possible In order 90 eliminate
the losses that otherwise would take
plare In a. A counterpoise OF the form
Described Is illustrated In Figure L.
When the ground underneath an
sntenna Is a good conductor. that Is to
say. Is soft and moist. the earth itself

shielded by some object In such a man
ner that reception from one particular
direction Is impossible.
Keep the antenna and lead-ln as
far as possible from electric light and
power lines. II a power line runs
nearby. run the antenna at right
angles TO II, and so obtain the mini
mum amount OF interference.
The best receiving antenna for
amateur and broadcasting wave
lengths Is a single wire 1O0-175 feet
long. constructed OF standard copper
phosphor bronze or copperweld wire
Just as high and far away from sur
rounding objects as II Is possible TO
get II. and with a lead-in brought
down from one end and kept at least
three feet away from the house. An
antenna for this type not only gives
good results but will withstand storms
and is not objected to by the landlord
and neighbors.

Rev. B. M. Bridges

II Is doubtful II there has ever been

experiment IL has been found that the
received energy is the same for
single wire as for a multi-wire antsn-
ma. unless the spacing between the
wires Is very great. The greatest ad.
vantage Of a single-wire antenna Is

which would tear down a multi-wire
antenna with the same supports.
Not all the energy induced In a re
celving antenna by the wave produced
by the transmitting station is useful.
Part OF the energy is reradiated. part
Is lost due to the resistance of the an
tenna conductors. part is lost due to
the eddy currents produced In neigh
boring non-condicting material. and
part Is lost by leakage around the an
tenna insulators. All OF these losses
can be reduced to a minimum by prop
erly locating and erecting an antenne.
The losses due TO eddy currents can
be reduced by erecting the antenna
so that IL viii not be near any objects
such as houses. barns. trees. etc. The
resistance loss can be reduced by us-
ing a heavy conductor OF low high
frequency resistance. such as stranded
phosphOr bronze cable. Good. long
