Secretary Hoover's plans were di-

sent to him by Mr.. Morgan, asking the
Department Of Commerce to inyesti-

"This matter has been weighing on
my mind for the last two or three
weeks, and l have. in fact, held some
discussions with the employers and d

be able to develop some properly con-

Mr.. Morgan's letter to Secretary
Hoover follows:
The women's clothing industry is
New York's greatest industry, having
an annual production valued at more
than $500,000,0 600 We believe that the
present strike, not only because of its
serious effect upon the production
womens garments, but also because it
imperils the largest industry of this
great industrial center. deserves care
full and immediate attention by your
department.

IMPULSES MAKE
RECEIVER AMPLIFY MANY TIMES

the regenrative receiver is capable,
without loss of tone.
This is accomplished by actually al
lowing the regenerative receiver to
go into the oscillatory condition for a
very short tirne-about 10000 part
Of one secondhand then stopping the
oscillatory action. allowing it to con-
tinue again, and SO on.
Tone qualities can not be destroyed
In so short a time.
During this short interval an i'm
pulse may have been fed around and
around through the tube circuits as
many as half dozen times.
High Amplif1cation
Each trip sees it amplif1ed approx
mately seven times, and the total am
plifcation is close to 700, 900 times.
The control Of the regenerative cir
cult in this fashion is accomplished
by throwing on the grid of the detec-
tor tube alternating negative and
positive potentials at the rate Of one
negative pulse every 10000 part of
one second
The device used to accomplish this
is an oscillatory vacuum tube circuit
whose inductanoes and capacities are
so chosen as to give it an oscillatory
frequency of 10000 cycles-a wave
length of more than 25, 900 meters.
Oscillations at this frequency begin TO
be audible, and make themselves
known by a very high-pitched note in
the telephone receivers.
These are fundamentals which the
radio enthusiast must understand be-
fore he can successfully build and
operate his own super-regenerative re-
ceiver.
The Generator
Study the diagram.
1t shows that part of the circuit
which acts to generate the alternating
positive and negative potentials at the
rate OF 10000 per second.
While this is in the positive half Of
it's cycle the regenerative receiver
circuit cannot oscillate-
When it is undergoing the mega
tive half of the cycle. the regenera-
tive receiver circuits oscillate through
about half a dozen cycles, thus ac-
complishing the great application.
Ii. LIZ and CT all form a part Of
the grid circuit
LIZ alone is a part of the plate cir
cult LIZ being common to both,
couples the circuits and makes them
generate oscillations.

Thinks Butler College Should Be
Removed.
To the Editor Of The Times
II Butler College is to grow and be-
come larger school it is absolutely
necessary that a new location be pro-
vided. 1t is the present location that
has kept Butler from becoming more
popular and a greater college
Indianapolis is the capital and,
therefore, Is entitled to have the best
university in the State. The people
heretofore have been. negligent in
their support Of Butler. A new loca-
ton will arouse them to action and
interest
While il is true that Butler needs
Irvington, it is also true that Butler
needs the support of the southern,
northern and western sections of the
city. Butler must be born again and
must have a new location. The
people Of Irv1ngton have displayed a
certain degree of seldshness in want,
ing to keep Butler in the old rut be-
tween two railroad tracks which have
been the source Of so much noise and
the cause of the deaths Of several
students.
The students in the eastern part of
Indianapolis have had a snap, due to
the fact that they have not spent
their time riding back and. forth on
the street cars, and have not been at
any expense IN the way of car-fare.
Naturally. they would not desire the
removal Of Butler. because It would be
a hardship on them the same as has
been on those students who did not
live. in Irvington.-
Let Il be known that the majority
Of the people in Indianapolis hope to
see a change In the near future The
people in the west side of the city are
especially In favor of the removal of
Butler TO the new location at Fair.
view.
The board of trustees is not in error,
but has a vision as TO the future Of a
greater university. The trustees
should be encouraged to purchase the

Then let the citizens of Indianapolis,
those who do not live in Irvington,
use. all the influence and power that
they can to give Butler College
