 MYSTERY WAVES MAY BE SIGNS
 FROM PLANETS Long Waves Heard by Mar conf May Be From Mars in Effort to Communicate With Other Worlds

Throughout the unlimited reaches of interstellar space there is con stantly surging series of etheric vibrations of far greater length than by man by his agencies has yet been able to produce. What are they; and whence do they come? Are they signals from some highly intellect ually developed inhabitants of an- other planet seeking communication with other worlds; or are they evil dence of the working of scme gigantic cosmic force?
 These are the questions which are holding the attention of scientists throughout the world questions which have piqued the curiosity of mankind ever since the presence of these tremendous waves was discover ed by Marconi aboard his experi- mental yacht Electra.
 It may be that at the source of these big electro magnetic waves there lies the answer to the age-long query of whether or not there are inhabitants upon the scared surface of the planet Mars. Marcori. him self, is convinced that these waves come from another world. because they are so entirely different from any of those hitherto encountered and they are too regular in their recurrence to be mere 'strays." In fact he described them in 1920. as very queer sounds and indications

 Connections of Condenser
 0. My variable 43-plate condenser has only one wire for connection. Is this right, or should there be two? W. E. c.
 A, There should, of course, be two connections to the variable conden- ser. I think, if you will examine it carefully, you will find that the con- nection that you can easily see Is connected to one set of plates. Now if you examine the other set of plates very carefully you will find that they are all connected together to the shaft which holds them in position, and somewhere or other you will find a terminal to which these plants are connected and that will be your other connection for the condenser.
 On Lightning Arresters
 Q. Please tell me what makes of lightning arrester are approved by the fire underwriters for receiving stations? Would an arrester which would safeguard a crystal set do for a vacuum tube set?-P. H. w.
 A. I do not know all of the types that have been approved by the board of underwriters, but none of them can advertise such approval unless it has actually been given. I would suggest that you get in touch with the board of underwriters If you desire a com plete list of all those devices which have been approved. An arrester that has been approved will function properly on all types of receiving sets. irrespective of how they are con structed or what circuits they use. The object of the arrester, of course. is to protect a house from the effects of lightning, and it does so by the aerial to the ground before it can pass through the receiving equip ment. so you will see that the nature of the receiving equipment has noth- ing to do with the functioning of the lightning arrester itself

lnto the fleid of pofftfcs
 Clifford Pinchot did not wage a spectacular campaign for the republi can gubernatorial nomination, yet Il was necessary for him and his wife to put up the sum Of $120,000 to reach the people and enable the people to register their independent choice at the polls. The office of governor in Pennsylvania pays $1O,- 900 a year and the term of the in- cumbent is four years Thus 1t was necessary for MT. and Mrs Pinchot to contribute three times the total salary MT. Pinchot will receive as governor to make success possible at the primaries.
 Senator George Wharton Pepper s campaign for renomination--agai an independent candidate and not confronted by the necessity of beat ing the "machine"-cost approixi- mateiy $6o. .o00, whereas the senatori- al position pays only s45.0oO for a six-year term.
 Arc Legitimate
 It is frankly admitted here that these large expenditures are per- fectly legitimate and necessary Nearly s5,ooo of Pinchots money went for a single postcard can vass of tho 2,ooo.o0o republicans vot- ters in Pennsylvania.
 The women, 1t will be seen, have added materially to the expense of a primary campaign. The cost of reaching the qualified voters with educational literature has virtually been doubled during the last two years.
 Mir. Pinchots victory in Pennsyl- yania was hailed here and through out the country as a great victory for the plain people and a smashing of the old republican machine. Mir. Peppers victory was hailed as that of high-minded, high -principled man seeking to succeed himself aft CT an all too brief term in the Sem ate as the occupant of the old Pen rose seat.
 But the question is asked: Could Clifford Pinchot have led the people to victory If he and his wife had not had unlimited means to stand the ex- penses of an intensive campaign? ? and 1t is added: Could Mir. Pepper have won the senatorial nomination without influential and wealthy friends to contribute the compara- lively large sum expended in the very brief campaign which was made?
 Poor Have Little Chance
 The answer, of course. Is that the poor man, without influential and optimistic friends of means, has little or no chance of obtaining political preferment under the present po-

 The country was amazed two years ago at the primary expenditures made in behalf of two aspirants for the republican nomination for Pres ident. But now that 1t is frankly ad- mitted that sum in excess of $120,0 can be spent legitimately In single state for a gubernatorial nomination, where can a legitimate limit be placed upon a presidential campaign which must cover 4S states, to say nothing of the island posses sions and the District of Columbia | President Harding was nominated in Chicago in 1922 because the pri- mary preferences expressed in a number of states were disregarded by the delegates on the final bal lots. If Mir Harding, who was in every sense an independent and not an organization aspirant for the nomination, had been confronted by | the task of carrying his campaign into every state. his candidacy would have collapsed long before the con vention assembled, for he had no huge sums back of him and no per sonal wealth with which to wage the , fight.
 Seek Delegates
 Under strict observance of the primary system, 1t becomes necessary | for a President of the United States to seek delegates for a renomination. Admitting the heavy legitimate cost of the primary system, how far Is a President expected to go in providing personal funds for a renomination. or how far can he permit his friends to go in his behalff
 There Is no question but that the primary system now In vogue has been weighed In the balance and found wanting In a number of re- spects. There has been almost uni versal rejoicing that Clifford Pin chot was able, by means of the pri- mary system, to break machine rule T was the happy circumstance. the happy exception to the rule. of an independent man possessed of the necessary means to make a success full fight. Not many men of such great wealth have the independent and progressive views of Pinchot.
 Friends of the primary system are awake to. the fight which Is in store. They realize that if the primary sys- tenn is to live, some means must be found of controlling expenditures even the most legitimate expendi- tures--to the point where the aspi- rants may have an even chance. The supreme court, in the Newberry case, has held that Congress. under exist ing laws. has no control over primary expenditures.

THE DANGEROUS AGES

Wilbur Cross. in the Yale Review.
 According to two women. certain ages in the lives of their sex are most fraught with peril. In Dangerous Ages" the warning signal Is pointed against IS, 33, and 80. In The Girls" the spinsters are charged to be on their guard at IS or 1s, at 32 and 74. So near is the agreement on the times when perils assail women. we must conclude, unless we accept the hypothesis of collusion, that Miss Rose Macaulay and Miss Edna Ferber have hit upon truth In feminine psychology. They are not so exact when writing of men, probably be- cause they do not know them so we'll. Nor am I myself sure about the dan Eerous ages for men. MT. Anthony Pryde. in .Nightfall," mentions 36

 With the same delicateiy humorous and delft strokes, Mir Mackenzie has drawn the other families of rich reIa- tives. There is Eneas Grant. an ex- consul, who lived to eat and his wife. who changed her religion and adopted bay.
 There is Arnold Grant a dean In the Church of England, and his wife who squandered all her affection on her six inconsequential sons; Colonel Grant and his wife-both seeking so- cial position-who took care of an insane German prince; and last. but not least, Uncle Matthew Rounciwell whose wealth makes him an object oI iSHuer SOitCltuue to the 9DONe members of the family It Is Uncle Matthew who furnishes the most in- teresting and worldly complications in the story, as well as the happy ending. which has piquant and whimsical turn In It's originality.
