ArriUal Of Gouernor Cox From European Tour WiN
 Upset Plans Of Democrats
Former Presidential Candidate May Again Desire to In ject League of Nations Into Fight-Some Demo-
 crats Regard Issue With Dsfavor

their minds run along with the governors to a very considerable ex- tent. They believe with him that the United States should have entered the League of Nations; they believe that such a course might have pre- vented some of the ills of the world today an dthey further believe that sooner or later there will be recon sideration of the present foreign pol Icy of the United States.
 But, they say, tho League of Ma tions cannot by any stretch of the imagination, be regarded as live issue at this time, nor at any time in the very near future. The demo cratic congressional managers have wanted to make use of Governor Cox's campaign abilities In a num- Der of states this fall, but if he Is determined to project the League of Nations to the fore in his speeches, the calls for his services might be few and far between.
 There are some well wishers of Governor Cox who go SO far as to say that if he persists in maintain ing that the democracy should go in to this falls campaign and that of 1924 on the the disastrous League of Ma tions issue his action will elimtna te him from serious consideration at the next democratic national convention.
 It Is certain that Governor Cox will be met by two factions of the party when he reaches New York-those who wish to win his favor by giving him the advice they think will be most welcome to him. and those who want him to go along with the pary now In Its effort to concentrate on tho domestic shortcomings of the nrAAenf ax4 than to have the campaign drift off Into a discussion of the theoretical advantages of membership in the League of Nations.
 Would Fight Ledge
 Governor Cox has been particularly anxious to go into Massachusetts and help the campaign against Senator Lodge. He has wanted to attack Sem ator Lodges fight against the league and the Versailles treaty, but practi- cal democrats know that If they want to herd the enormous vote of Massa chusetts back into the democrat fold they can not play the role of siren with the league as a lute.
 Old-time politicians say that in a period such as existed in 1920 and which exists today. the mass of the people of the country are fairly aching to vote against a somethtng or somebody. They voted against Wilson and the league in 1920 and they will not vote for the league fin 1922. The democrats are desirous of capitalizing the discomfort into q massed movement against everybody In office who has tho misfortune to be up for reelection. As most of thu officeholders arc republicans today the democrats feel they have fine chance for victory in such a move.
 Meantime the return of Governor COX Is being watched with keen in- terts in both political camps. Will liam Jennings Bryant once came back from Europe and talked himself into a peck of trouble the very first night after his arrival.

who attend the demonstrations reg ularly.
 I thought that woodlawn would be @ good place to see a large number of sets SO I went out there the other day I thought I would comb that section of town for radio sets but l found that there were either some teeth out of the comb or l needed brush. Some aerials looked like they were hidden so no one could see them from the street, while others were in plain sight for quite dis tance. I noticed a two-wire serial on two poles and thought I'd see II tn eowner was at home, but he was not. I got to see the set, however. and 1t was a very neatly made crystal set made by the owner, MT. Hoke Graham, 6307 First avenue. Seeing another serial went to the house of Chester Riggs, 6111 First avenue, and saw his set, which Is also crystal. For inductance Chester uses loose coupler which he made himself and catches local concerts. Upon visit ing another home l found that Brand Currie. IT,, and his brother. William Roberts Currie, had already 0 crystal set together but found it was not large enough for them so they are now building on an audion set. There was & very nice look ing aerial on a brick house, consist ing of four wires and the set was a very good one also. It was made by Altman Brooks and Is now owned and operated by Charles W. Brooks. The whole set Is made In one cab met and contains two variometcrs and a vario-coupler. also two stages of audio- fir requency amplification. | It .I- kas, z1af variable condenser which I suppose aerial circuit. They state that the set Is giving them much pleasure and the whole family can listen as they have a magnavox loud speaker, which Is used in connection with this set. This set Drought In" Kan sas City and St. Louis a few nights ago. Tom Leonard has a set over which he hears the Atlanta programs He Is also one of the Bugs" at Woodlawn. We would be glad to hear from any other Woodlawn fans whose names we haven't had.

CONDENSER TRICK
E. R. Smith Calls Attention to
 Method He Utilizes

We enjoyed very much last week a visit from E. R. Smith, who lives at 2125 Avenue l. Mir. Smith came to get some information about his set and also to give one or two suggest tions for the fans who read this page. Mir. Smith has an audion set using the ticker feed back circuit and he states that it "drags 'em in."
 He stated that his set was very much influenced by body induction, in fact, so much so that one evening while he was trying to tune with hands (bringing them near to and far from his set) his wife thought he had lost his mind and was trying to hypnotiZe the set. Mir. Smith said that he had to make several adjust ments on his set, such as getting a grid condenser of the right capacity and finding a lot of trouble to solder one condenser on then have to change to another was very difficult, so he purchased two clips like those ad- vertised for radio purposes. and placed one of these where he had to make the connections. He theA bought one of each of the condensers (fixed) at one of the five and ten cent stores, and instead of making each connection good with solder he would just clip the terminals of the condenser on to the clips and he could easily change until the desired one was found. This is a good sug- gestion which we appreciated and would like to have more from others.
 MT. Smith stated that among the stations he is hearing are: The Att lanta Journal and Constitution, Att lanta and West Point railway. St. Louis, Davenport, Ia., Detroit News, Sweeney Automobile School at Kan sas City, Montgomery, Ala, Louisa vile, Ky, Huntington, W. Va, and also the local programs.
 We are always glad to have per- sonal visits from anyone interested In the subject and are glad to let the Bugs" hear from each other through these columns.

WHY WE HEAR RADIO MUSIC


 From an article by Waldemar Kaempffert. in the Delineator.
 The space between the earth and the sun is absolutely void-airless Yet we see the sun and the stars proof that light must travel through something that Is not air and vet something that fills all space. Tins all-pervading something was called the ether" Electrical energy. Uks light, travels through ether In waves, If we think of electric waves in the ether as 8 kind of invisible light, wo shall go far toward understand ing the mechanism of radio con- munication. These waves have extra . ordinary powers of penetration. They flash through space with the speed of light--at 186,000 miles a second and that Is why the song trilled hum dreds of miles away reaches us in simultaneously. At this very moment they ripple through the house in which you sit, through the paper that you hold in your hands, through your very body.
 It is not the voice that Is sent out or the ether in radio broadcastinx. Tie process is much the same as chat which occurs when we talk over a telephone wire; only. in radio, the ether Is the wire.
 This ether, of which we will all soon talk gilbly, is a restless. rip- bling, invisible ocean In which stars. planets. human beings. mountains ana household furniture are immersed. Sometimes the ether waves are only 360 meters in length--somewhat more than 1,140 feet. But there are also waves that measure miles from crest to crest. It is these that may en- able us to hear in New York a play given at the Comedie Franchise in Paris.
 Through detectors the waves are caught and transformed into audible speech.

 The 100 k. W. tube by no means represents the largest tube made possible by the present development. There is no doubt that if the de- mand should occur for tubes capable of handling much larger amounts of power they could be constructed along these same lines."
