XIV. INDUcTANcEs AND TUNING Con- :

In order to receive and hear sounds
sent from transmitting stations by
radiophones clearly and without inter.
ference or confusion, a device of some
sort II required which will cut out all
waves save those desired. This Is
known as tuning" and the instruments
or appliances used to accomplish II
are called tuners" There are now
q great many different devices for
tuning, such as tuning coils, loose
couplers, vario-couplers, variometers
variable condensers. etc. OF these,
oil but the variable condensers (which
see) are coils of various types. the
simplest, but by no means the most
enicient. being the simple tuning-colls
These consist of a coil of bare wire
wound about core or cylinder Of

vlded with sliding contacts as shown

GETTING AT THE ROOT.

THE only effective way to reduce
taxes is to cut public expenditures. "
says a statement just issued by the
State Federation Of Taxpayers Asso-
Citations. Schemes without number
have been advanced to shift the tax
burden. These schemes have always
provided for the creation Of new
sources of revenues and new sources
Of revenue have always meant more
money for the taxeaters to spend.
The serious side Of the tax ques-
ton is the effect of high taxation on
business and industry. A tax rate
averaging practically eight per cent
is serious bar to the development Of
business and industrial enterprises.
Any shifting of the tax burden NEARLY
means taking the money from another
pocket and does not solve the prob.

The latest report this paper aad on
the bonus bill before going to press
last week was that the president nad
vetoed the bill and congress had pass
ed the bill over the presidents veto.
That did not make the bill law, now
ever, because the senate sustained the
presidents action and so the measure
was killed for the present. This pa
per believes the ex-soldiers should
receive substantial recognition lor
their services, but in the case OF TINS
bonus bill congress passed the same
without providing way to pay the
enormous amount that would be re-
CURED to meet the cost to the country.
1t was an evasive action on the part
of congress and no credit to the stam-
ina and fairness of that body. Under
the circumstances the president could
not take any other action, and In the
face of the demand for bonus II
took great moral courage for the pres
ident to withhold his signature.

JAIL DELIVERY IN
HALIFAX MONDAY
Three Colored Prisoners Make
Get Away After Attacking
Jailer Richards With Heavy
Plate. Trusty Prevents Es-
cape Of Others.
LEADER REcAPTURED TUESDAY

For the first time since the
county erected its modern, steeI
celled Jail at Halifax, a Jail de.
livery was ATTEMPTED, partially
successfully, late last Monday
afternoon. The attempt was
staged when County Jailer S. A.
Richards unlocked the lower tier
of cells for the purpose of lock-
ing up a trusty, Howard Clay,
for the night. 1t was about six
O'Clock in the afternoon and too
dark for the jailer to see that all
Of his boarders were not securely
fastened in their cells.
Immediately upon his entry in
to the partition Mr.. Richards was
assaulted by three prisoners.
Willie Lomax, Togie Lynch, and
Willie Wright, all colored. He
was struck on the head and
wrist with aheavy plate and
severely cut and bruised. His
assailants secured the keys Of
the Jail and made their get away.
The escape of all the other
prisoners in the tier was prevent
ed by the action of the trusty,
Clay, in swinging to the spring
lock door before the rest of the
prisoners could reach it.
Willie Lomax, leader of the
gang, was arrested on Tuesday
at the home of his inamorata
near Littleton, and again placed
in durance vile-and permanent
too, ifJailer Richards utmost pre-
cautions in the future can make
it so.
Lomax was serving time for
assault with an axe upon some
colored friends in this township.
Lynch was serving six months
sentence for selling whiskey,
while Wright was awaiting trial
for robbing a Seaboard Air Line
freight car at Weldon.

II you see tall fellow ahead Of crowd
A leader Of men, marching fearless and proud,
And you know Of tale whose mere telling aloud
Would cause his proud head to in anguish be bowed
lisa pretty good plan to forget it,
Il you know Of skeleton hidden away
In closet and guarded and kept from the day
In the dark and whose showing whose sudden display
Would cause grief and sorrow and lifelong dismay-
Its a pretty good plan to forget it.
Il you know Of thing that will darken the joy
Ola nan or a woman, girl or boy,
That will wipe out smile or the leas, way annoy
A fellow or cause any gladness to coy-
It's pretty good plan to forget it.
