FRENCH WOMEN READ
BOOKS VERY LITTLE
BY Associated Press

Paris, November 11.-As the
women of Paris recently have been
beating the men in competitions for
places as librarians. a discussion has
arisen over women's attitude to-
wards books.
Writers in general seem to agree
that woman Is the avowed enemy of
strange to Americans, IL accepted
by the French as fact not neces-
sary to discuss. They seek only to
show why, and how greatly woman
Is hostile to books.
One of the principal publishers is
quoted as saying that in the retail
trade women constitute only one per
cent of buyers in France. Others
dilate upon the difficulty their
men friends have in keeping a IL
brary of fine books and In adding

the best results can be obtained by
maintaining a negative bias on the
grids OF the simplifying tubes The
voltage OF the C batteries necessary
for this purpose will depend upon
the type of tube that IS used as an
amplifier and will have to be deter
mined by experiment. A small H.
volt flashlight battery. which can
be obtained in the five-and ten-cent
stores. will serve this purpose very
well.
Since the original description of
the "push-pull" system was pub
lished l have received number of
letters asking whether or not this
could be applied to gadio-frequency
amplification in the same manner.
The answer to this question is. mo-"
for the reason that in radio-fre-
quency amplification the vacuum
tube is operating under different
conditions-on currents of very high
frequencies that have not been recti-
fled, and consequently are not sub
ject to the possibility of distortion,
as in the case of currents at audible
freuuencies.

WAR RUM0RS AFFECT
VALUE OF DIAMONDS
Dy Associated Press

London, November 1.-THE pres
ent boom in diamonds is attributed
partly to recent rumors of war in
the Near East. Experts in the trade
say that this phenomenon has been
noticed before, and that when polit
ical troubles are brewing the BUSH
ness in diamonds revives. Not only
in London is this activity noticeable,
but in Antwerp also diamonds have
been changing hands in large num-
bers, somewhat similarly to the
trade which occurred at the time
of the first Russian revolution.
Another reason given for the di-
almond activity is that new fields
are being opened, rough diamonds
are coming 20 hand in larger guam
titles and customers want not only
the finest sort, but also smaller
stones lor clusters.

CUTS POWER RATES

Osaka, November l11.-Charges for
electric power. extensively used by
the factories of Japan, gradually are
returning to the pre-war rates under
pressure from the government, which
has power to regulate rates and also
because of the decline in the price
of coal, the amalgamation of various
electric companies and the altera-
ton from steam to water power for
producing current. In Osaka, the
chief Industrial city. the rate for
lighting has been reduced from 81

practically 5-watt tubes. The reason
that the type C telephones have no
