BONUS MEASURE IS
 PASSED BY SENATE
However, Vote Shows That Veto Can not Be Oyerriden in Upper House;
 12 Opponents Absent.

Washington, Aug. 31.-The Senate passed the soldiers bonus bill today by a vote of AZ to 22.
 Despite the overwhelming nature of the vote in favor of the bill, it be- came apparent through a careful an- alysis of the roll call and the pair ing" announcements that the measure can not be passed over President Harding's expected veto.
 Fifteen of those "paired" or absent would have cast their votes in favor of the bill. Those added to the re- corded vote of 47 would give the pro- bonus forces a maximum strength of G2, or two less than the two-thirds re- quired to override a presidential veto.
 Twelve senators paired" or absent would have voted against the bill. These added to the 22 recorded in the negative would give the anti-bonus faction 34 votes, or one more than the number required to sustain a vetO The bill now goes to conference.
 To Go to President Soon.
 Senator Cummins, Iowa, president pro tempore, announced the appoint ment of Senator McCumber, Senator Shoot, Utah; Senator Mclean, Rhode Island, Republicans, and Senator Sim Cnrn1ino Walsh, Massachusetts, Democrats, to act as conferees on behalf of the Sen ate It was predicted that the bonus would be out of conference and in the hands of President Harding within the next two weeks.
 In the voting today 2 Republicans and 20 Democrats supported the bon us, while 15 Republicans and I Dem ocrats were against it.
 The main points of difference De- tween the two houses over the bonus are formed by the amendments which the Senate added Tuesday. The first was that offered by Senator McNary, Oregon, Republican, appropriating 1850 .OOO 900 for swamp and arid land reclamation to furnish farms for eX- service men. The other, sponsored by Senator Simmons, North Carolina, Democrat, provided that the interest on the foreign debt shall be used to defray the cost of the bonus. It IS not believed that they will constitute serious obstacles to a conference agreement.

DROTTU TO BREAK RECORDS
Rainfall in Little Rock in August
 Least in Many Years.

Little Rock, Sept. 3.-A forerunner of what may be expected when reports on rainfall-or lack of it-throughout Arkansas in August, are compiled py Little Rock Weather Bureau is con tained in the bureaus meterologlcal summary for Little Rock, issued yes terdav. This report shows a total precipitation of only .S3 Of an lnch compared with normal or o'oo inches. and an accumulated dehclency since January 1 of 7.3S inches.
 The summary for the state Will De compiled within the next few days and is expected generally to show uhpre- cedented drouth and much crop dam age in all sections. Reports to the Weather Bureau are not complete and no partial compilation Will De made. The bureaus weekly synop- sis of crop conditions for the week ending August 29, however, gave the conditions generally as poor to falriy good"
 The rainfall in Little Rock last month was less than in any August in the past A years, with one eAcef, tion. The exception was August, l9o-' when the precipitation was oh'F ID of an inch.
 Jitt,e difference is shown in the aV- craee mean temperature Ill Llt'ie Rock in August, 1922, and August 1al4. The mean temperature last F, ,1uth was S15 degrees while the leen temperature during the same month of 1921 was S1.4. Comparative data for August of the present year however, aC2ol ding to the report SHOWS that Cnly six times since the bureau was established in 1879 has the mean, temperature for August been appreciably more than that of the past month of this year. Eight days of the past month the mean tenn perature was below normal.
 The heaviest precipitation was on August IA when .29 inches of rain fell. Twenty-seven inches of rainfall was recA Sd on August 16, the last rain faar Recorded in the city. Only 1.O3 inches of rain fell between July IS and August 31.

Secretary Davis Declares the indus-
 trial Outlook is Bright.

Washington, Sept. 3.-Secretary Davis in a Labor Day message to the American people, made public tonight, declared that we can look forward with pride and gratitude upon the Achievements of the last 12 months, ,and that during this period America has been brought to the threshold of an era of unexampled prosperity"
 We must find a common ground of fairness and cooperation for employ CTS and employees, where they can ad- just their differences without recourse to an appeal to force," he said. There can be no justification for bloodshed' and destruction in America today
 The labor secretary declared that two great things have been accomp- lished in American industrial life. "We have conquered the menace Of unemployment which threatened us,' he said, "and we have prevented wage panic in the ranks of labor. We have put between four and five mil lion men back to work with wages which leave the general wage level Of the nation very little below the high point reached following the war.
 Despite the pressure of unemploy- ment," MT. Davis said, i've have fore stalled those shortsighted employers who saw in the situation only an op- portunity to beat down the price or labor adding that through these lines we. have brought America to

tails are necessary. The amplifica-
ton per tube of a resistance-coupled
ampliier Is not as high as 1t Is for
some other methods but 1t Is stable
and does not distort he input as
much as do some other methods used
which give greater application per
tube.
ResIstance-coupled amplifying may
be used to amplify either radio or
audio frequency.
A method of transforming the
change in plate current of a vacuum
tube to differences in potential Is by
means of a choke coil. A choke coil
consists of a number of turns OF wire
wound up In a multilayer coll and
may or may not have an iron core. A
coil of this kind offers q high Inn
pedance to the flow of alternating cur
rent, but has a relatively low direct
current resistance.
The choke coil on account of hav-
ing q low ohmic resistance, will have
q smaller method of coupling, so that
lower "B" battery potential can be
used on choke coil coupled amplifiers
and the batteries can be Of smaller
capacity.
The choke coil not only has induct-
ance but a certain amount of distrib-
uted capacity. The distributed ca
pacity of the coil plus the capacity of
the plate with respect to the flament,
together with the inductance of the
coll, give to the plate circuit q GER
tain definite period. That is, the plate
circuit Is an oscillating circuit whose
resonant frequency is determined by
the total capacity and inductance In
the circuit.
If the choke coil be made variable,
It win not only serve to transform the
| plate current variation with maximum
plate potential variations, but 1t will
also serve to tune out unwanted fire.
uuencies. When the plate circuit of
the amplifer Is tuned, the resonant
frequency is amplifed X times, but all
other frequencies are amplified to a
less degree.
Another and by far the most
widely used method Of coupling sue
cesslve tubes in a cascade ampllfier Is
by means of transformers. The trans
former method of coupling amplifier
tubes may be considered a develop
ment and a refinement of the simpler
choke coil method. Coupling tubes
by means of properly designed trans
formers will give a greater amplifl-
cation per tube than any of the other
methods.

USE OF CHOKE COIL
AND TRANSFORMERS
Latter Provide the Most Prac-
ticaI Method of Coupling
for the Amateur.

Figure XVIII shows the actual
circuit of a three-stage resistance
coupled amplifier. The output of such
q circuit is X times K times X the input
or assuming the ampllfcatlon factor
Of each tube to be 10, the output would
be 1000 times the input. The resist
ance r is the coupling resistance
whose function 1t Is to transform the
plate current variation to potential
drops to be applied to the grid of the
text tube.
The capacity O is simply a
Of allowing the potential variations
across the coupling resistance r to
be applied to the grid of the next tube,
yet not allowing the 'B" battery ap-
piled to the plate circuit Of a tube to
be applied to the grid Of the next.
Because of using the condenser to,
what II might say, insulate the grid
from the "B" battery potential, 1t Is
necessary to use a grid leak, to keep
the charge which collects on the grid
from becoming excessive and reducing
the plate current to zero.
One of the chief disadvantages of
the resistance coupled amplifier is
that very high plate battery poten-

assigned for maximum power ampli-
f1cation, while at the same time the
ratio of the transformer must be such
as to deliver maximum potential to
the grid circuit of the next tube.
The greatest advantages of tha
transformer method of coupling audio
frequency amplifiers are the high de-
gree of application, the relative
simplicity of operation, and the low
plate voltage required.
Chief among the disadvantages Of
the transformer coupled frequency
amplifier is noise. Also the trans
formers amplify different f%requencies
TO different degrees, which means
that when this type of coupling is
used for radiophone reception, the
voice is distorted by the amplifying
transformers. However, from a prac-
teal standpoint, the average amateur
will have better results using trans
former coupled audio frequency ampli-
fiers than from any other method that
car be used with the, tubes and equip
ment now available.
