The family has moved from gas
lighted house to one where there 10
electricity, and baby Frank, standing

source Of great amusement and he
never fails to press them whenever

A few nights ago his mother came
from the upper rooms and announced
bedtime. Little Florence ran upstairs
Immediately. Frank, up to his usual
tricks, pushed the button, and Off went

grand rush. When the whirlwind
broke, bear and dogs in a mighty
mix-up, the big brute was almost on
top Of the hunter before he could
move, and his gun was useless. The
other hunter, standing to one side,
got In shot and dropped the bear
only four feet from the man he had
charged.
The bear fell without struggle and
rolled down the hill with all the ter
riers hanging on.
This was the first black bear killed
by government hunters In that region
for a long time. They have orders
from the biological survey not to mo-
lest the black bear unless he be-
comes stock killer. Indeed, It is the
universal policy OF the government
hunters to leave the general run of
wild animals alone and go after the
outlaws that are destroying property.

Sits Causes Of
Unenplo ynent

caused by unemployment of the aver
age wage-earner In the United States
Is about 35 days year. This does not
include loss from part-time employ
ment, for which no reliable figures are
to be had.
Days Of Unemployment.
"The average of 80 days does not
apply to every industry, for the work
ers In many Industries are subject to
longer periods Of unemployment, while
in others the average is low.
The report estimates that more than
one-quarter of the Industrial wage
earners were out of work on June /.
1921, representing an estimated total
Of 100000 persons.
Many concerns, the report says, are
inventing means to better arrange
ments within their plants affecting the
cause Of unemployment attributed to
personal and impersonal factors within
the establishment. Better methods and
more thorough organization to reduce
friction and to develop Industrial Co
operation between employers and en-
ployees are being tested In many in
dustries. The report points out that
in attempting to remedy the causes Of
unemployment attributed to influences
operating outside the plant, there is
need for more adequate system of col
lecting and disseminating information
showing the trend Of prices, the actual
cost Of operation and revenues from
industry. "Such system" 1t is said,
twill afford a reliable basis Of COM
parison within plants at different times
and between individual plants In the
industry as whole"

Washington.-When Daddy went a.
hunting, according to an old nursery
story, the best he could do was to get
rabbit skin TO wrap the Baby Bunt-
Ing In, but u government hunter went
a-hunting the other day and get q
bear skin big enough to wrap the nu-
tomobile in-and 1t was u seven-pNs-
senger touring car, too, that the belr
skin made top for.
1t happened in Arizona on the res
ervation OF the Moqui Indians. This
yOO-pound brute, foresaking the whole
some habits of the ordinary black bear,
turned cattle killer and stirred up
anew all the black bear superstitions
that the Indians ever had. When he
wanted steer for dinner or calf
for breakfast, he went out and got
1t, and there was no Indian hanging
around to cry scat or shy rock.

RECEIVING CIRCUITS
Lesson No. 26

All ideas can be conveyed through
the use Of language and as
there are many languages, an under
standing of one or more enables a
person to grasp ideas as they are rem
dered. Pictures and drawings have
been used for ages to convey ideas
and their use constitutes one of the
most simple and impressive of all
languages. Through pictures the ar
fist, draftman, or layman can depict
scenes, houses. machinery, and even
the connection OF electrical apparatus
better than would ever be possible by
words alone.
In Radio, certain definite drawings
or symbols" have become conven-
tional, through usage, to indicate var
ious parts of apparatus By use OF
these symbols apparatus may be as
sembled on paper and with connecting
lines to represent wires, the proper
relation of each piece Of apparatus to
others may be shown.
The following assembly shows a
number of the most commonly used
symbols and their Interpretation.

comprising filament, grid and plate.
In actual construction the grid Is To-
Gated between filament and plate,
however, for the purpose of symmetry,
except when explaining its theory of
operation, it is usually drawn as
shown.
From a study of the above assem-
bly it is readily seen that the inter-
pretations of the symbols is practical
ly self-evident and by their proper
selection and connection, both simple
and intricate radio telephone and tele-
graph receiving circuits can be re-
presented. To illustrate the use of
this assembly, the following diagrams
show connections for some very sim
pic but effective circuits for the re-
ccption of radio signals.
