terest in foreign manufacturing
concerns, and that Munsey and his
associates abroad wanted to ship
their goods in free Of duty. 1t
was charged, too, that MIR. Mum
sey, through the editorial colums
of the Herald, was speaking the
language of the great importers,
who were also interested in very
low duties.
We can't begin to say how all
this is. 1t is a self-evident propo-
sition. OF course, that the Republi-
can brethren are not dwelling to-
gether in unity. If they should
vote as they talk and write there
is little telling what election day
may bring forth. But, as stated at
the outset, there must be some
deeper significance attached to the
activities OF these great metropoN
itan journals. One has frequently
heard the lament of late years that
the good, old days OF honest, per
sonal journalism are gone. For
the most part the big-town news
paper these days is commercial
enterprise. Few know or care
anything about the editor, or who
or what he represents.
Needless to say, all this points
to a moral. Now is the time to
subscribe for The Gazette. Our
intellectual equipment may be neg
ligible, but our readers r'ay re-
main free from the suspicion that
our poor opinions are shaded by
our holdings in some great steel
railroad or importing corporation

RADIO DICTIONARY
Lesson No. 10I


OHM-The ohm is the electrical
unit of resistance. A wire has a re-
sistance of one ohm when a pressure
or electromotive force of one volt
causes current of one ampere to
flow through it.
CAPACITY REACTANCE - The
opposition offered by capacity to the
flow of alternating current. The value
of capacity reactance is expressed in
ohms.
FEED BACK" CIRCUIT-A cir
cult in which regeneration is produced
by feeding back oscillating energy
from the plate circuit to the grid cir
cult. Two forms of this circuit in
general use are the "tickler circuit"
and the tuned plate" circuit:
TRANSFORMER-A transformer
consists of a primary and secondary
coil or coils placed in inductive rea-
ton to one another and is used in al
ternating current circuits for raising
or lowering the voltage. In some
transformers the coils are wound
upon a core of Eliminated soft iron
while others have an air core.
"TICKLER" COLA coil connect
ed in series with the plate circuit and
placed in inductive relation to the sec
ondary coil of the receiving circuit.
The ticker is used in feed back cir
cults for transferring energy from
the plate circuit to the grid circuit.
LOUD SPEAKER-An instrument,
usually constructed in the shape of It
horn. and used for the purpose of in
creasing the sound waves which are
made audible in the receiving circuit.
Amplifications essential to the use
of loud speaker.
GRINDERS-A type of static wave
which is believed to be propagated ver-
tically and which causes considerable
interference with radio signals during
the warmer months by producing con-
tinual grinding sounds in the receiving
telephones.
OHM'S LAW-The relation be-
tween current, voltage and resistance
in an electric circuit. Inc Jaw as stat
I'd is that the current in an electric
circuit is equal to the voltage divided
by the resistance.

BIG TOWNS JOURNALISM

There are some cross currents
in American journalism which we
do not begin to grasp. The New
York Times. rather conSiStly DEM
ocratic. found much in the message
of the President to commend. The
New York Herald, about as Re
publican as such things so these
days. could find little merit in the
document. 1t thinks little more OF
the message than it does OF bonus
bills.
OF course there's a reason for
all this, but ii does not appear on
the surface. If we were making
a guess we should say the esteemed
Times was pleased because there
was some indication in the mes
sage that the President had about
progressed to the point where he IS
determined to Use Federal force,
and 4 Big Stick, if the strikers
continue to Interfere with inter
state commerce, The Times is
very much opposed to the Strik-
erS.
Mr.. Munsey, ON the other hand,
has been off the reservation for
Some time. The Herald was not
notified, or paci6ed, even with the
uncompromising stand which the
President has taken against the
adjusted compensation bill for the
soldiers. The Herald thinks the
McCumber tariff bill is just as
abominable as the more active and
outspoken minority senators say
it is. Our contemporary has re
fused to be comforted \ number
of Republican Senators, especially
OF the Agricultural bloc, were
goaded to make reply TO the Her

counter charge was that Mr.. Mum

The Alexandria Rod and Gun Club
held their regular meeting IN the
Chamber of Commerce on Thursday
last, the meeting was very well at
tended and considerable business was
transacted Game Warden Bontz at
tended the meeting and made quite an
interesting address to the members IN
reference to magazine published by
the Department of Game and Inland
Fisheries called the "Game and Game

this magazine is TO snow the work
carried on by the Department, publish
articles and photographs from farm

with the public interested in these mat
terest; many of the members OF the as

ton and those who were not present
at the meeting may, if they desire,
hand their subscription to Mr.. Bontz

tons will all 90 to support the maya
zine which is run without profit.
Quite a lot of information has been
obtained by the club relative to the
natural conditions of Pohick Greek.
1t will be remembered that 1t was the
intention to stock this stream with
rainbow trout, and a special committee
was appointed TO ascertain all the
available information before this was
done. it has just been brought to light
that about three years ago this stream
was stocked with 1880 trout and IN
vestigation failed to reveal any OF
these in the stream at present, just
what happened to them Is matter
of supposition. but they were perhaps
washed down into the Potomac by the
usual spring freshets and are now no
doubt salt water trout, IN view OF these
facts. and also that this variety OF
trout cannot be obtained at present 1t
was thought best to try and secure
some more information before this
stream was again stocked. and II 1t
was decided to do so try and get some
brown trout for the purpose. these
cannot. however, be secured before
next spring.
On August 10th, last, Game War
den Allen made a personal Inspection
of the dam at Occoquan having been
informed that there was at present
no fish ladder at this point, which IS
required by law in order that the bass
in the spring when going up stream
can get over the dam to deposit their
spawn, he found that the condition
was as reported and has notified the
owner of the dam TO construct at once
d fish ladder at this point; this Will
no doubt improve the fishing above the
dam in the future, and the action OF
the warden is to be commended as
hundreds fish this stream each year
owing to it being within easy reach by
automobile from local points.
Some of the members reported that
they had made fishing trips already
this summer after bass, ana so far
the fish had not been biting very well,
owing to the warm weather; although
the river seems TO be full OF bass at
all points, from all indications it would
seem that this Will De banner year

HOME OF MONROE
ISON BRINK OF SCRAP HEAP

The historic old New York residence
e President James Monroe, located
at &C. Prince street is according to re-
ports from the metropolis, on the
brink Of the scrap heap. For num-
Der Of years this old mansion has
been slowly going into the discard,
and from the hospitable, splendid
domicile Of one Of the leading Knic-
kerbocker families, it has sunk into .
howell, now used as the headquarters
of company Of rag pickers. The
handsome old Colonial outlines are de-
faced by placards ami bill boards, and
no one could, with the most acute
imagination, picture in his mind any
thing resembling the home as it
proudly stood 100 years ago when it
was occupied by the dauggter and
son-in-law of one Of the most active
and earnest builders Of his govern
ment.
In an effort to preserve at least a
semblance Of the old home, the Ameri-
can Scenic and Historic Preservation
Society, of which Edward Hagaman
is secretary, has started a movement
for collection of funds 10 be used in
the perpetual preservation Of the
building. With what success this
movement may meet is problematlc.

Candelaria Treats
200 Tons Ore Daily

The new cyanide mill of the Can
delaria Mines company is treating
over 200 tons of ore daily and dur
ing the present month will attain its
rated capacity of 800 tons, says the
Goldfield Tribune. With the addi-
ton of the teaching tanks and
filtering equipment the capacity of
the plant will be increased gradually
until eventually it will treat be-
tween 500 and 600 tons day.
The latest report sent by Superin-
tendent c. A. Bennett to F. M.
Manson, who is a member of the
executive committee of the board
of directors, says that the mill is
operating smoothly, with no inter
ruptions, and that milling results
and the ore values are more than
satisfactory.
The most notable of recent mine
| developments has been the further
opening of what is known as the
1-6 section of the main vein in the
Luck Hill mine, on the informed
late level above the Lucky Bald

the north drift has been in ore Of
excellent grade, averaging around

CURRENT EVENTS AS THEY ARE REPORTED
BY EXCHANGES FROM ALL
PARTS OF THE STATE

it all, the local Indians, during the
past few weeks, have been spending
some of their hard-earned cash for
corn whiskey and that which goes
with it.
Last week the officers found two
Indian girls of tender years, with
load that must have cost at least
ten dollars. The pair were banished
from town, but they were as joy
Gus in their Punishment as though
they possessed real fortune. Sun
day night several squaws, as fat as
they were sassy, paraded about
town until discovered by the Off
GERS and later in the evening a
number of bucks were found stag
gering about town. And America
is supposed to be as dry as law can
make it.
Indians have always displayed
more or less liking for liquor, but
it is evident that their thirst was
not quenched by the Eighteenth
Amendment. They will spend the
last dollar they have for corn whis-
key and face winter with nothing
but pleasant grin. However, the
real offender is the cur that is sup
