the women of the congregation.
Jealousy. as these dispatches have
indicated. Is being considered as the
only possible motive of the crime,
and the authorities are working on a
story to the effect that well known
local man may have had some share
in bringing the affair of Hall nd Mrs.
Mills to the knowledge OF reltives,> as
was stated yesterday.
This man, IL Is said. had been
spurned by Mrs. Mills and as a result
he tried to thwart her affair with
Hall. There Is a strong possibility
that the letters written by the cou-
pie TO each other and left in their
secret depository at the church may
have been discovered by this man
and carried TO relatives of the cou-
Pile without a thought that the MUIR
der would follow but merely m an
effort TO break up the meetings OF
the rector and choir singer.
Significant in this connection is
the alleged anxiety OF certain peo-
pie to remove private papers from
Hairs study in the church after his
death. Charlotte Mills declared in
confederation OF Miss Mile Opie's
story that the day the bodies were
found Mrs. Minnie Clarke called and
said that she wanted TO get some
papers from the study.
This has been denied all along by
Mrs. Clarke. Charlotte also declared
that Mrs. Clarke. though her moth
er's best friend, showed no sympa-
thy, but asked. over and over. How
did 1t happen?"

with respect to the filament. Being
positive with respect to the filament,
causes a certain number of electrons,
which are negative charges, to be
attracted and caused to give up their
negative charges to the grid. During
the next or negative half of the cycle
of the applied grid potential the grid
Is made negative with respect to the
filament but does not lose the cleo
irons again. Thus a negative charge
Is built up on a grid during the posi-
tive portion OF each cycle, the cumu-
lative effect of which is to produce n
decrease of the plate current, during
the period that the alternating differ
ence of potential called a wave train
Is applied to the grid.
After the alternating difference of
potential applied to the grid has
ceased, the grid does not Immediately
lose Its negative charge. The grid
leak forms a high resistance path for
the negative charge of the grid to
leak off down to the flament slowly.
If no grid leak We're used, the grid
The Pleasantville press. (Pleasantville, N.J.) 1912-1929, 1922-07-19

would soon collect a sufficient nega-I
tive charge to reduce the plate cur
rent to zero and the tube would cease
to function. 4
A grid leak having too low resist
ance will not allow a sufficiently high
negative charge to collect on the grid,
resulting in a very small plate cur
rent reduction and weak response In
the telephone receivers.
On the other hand, If the grid leak
Is of too high resistance, too high
negative charge will collect on the
grid and the condition of no grid leak
will be approached.
In any electrical circuit that has
n difference of potential applied to
it, the current that will flow depends
upon the 'impedance" of that circuit
just as in the flow of water through
a pipe, the quantity of water that
will flow when any given pressure
is applied depends upon how much
the flow through the pipe is impeded
by the friction of the particles Of
water against the sides Of the pipe
and against one another.
In the electrical circuit, the rela-
ton between these three quantities
is that the current which will flow
is equal to the applied differences Of
where the current is In amperes, the
applied difference of potential is in
volts and the Importance in ohms. On

RECTlFIERS ARE POPULAR
Devised for Other Purposes, They Are
Used to Recharge Radio
Batteries.

Radio batteries have to be recharged
frequently, and If the radio operator
was compelled to take the battery each
time TO a battery service station IT
would mean considerable trouble, ex-
pense and time.
Hence the popularity among radio
folk of gas-hlled reetifiers for charging
these batteries. And If the radio anna

If you do not know the code
and wish to receive messages,
there is a device on the market
at the present time which
records the Incoming signals on
a piece of paper. The paper
may be then read at the will of
the operator. This method
gives the person unacquainted

Treaties Should Be Ratified or Enacted by
Both Bodies of Congress


The vital point in the whole discussion is the door which our nation
al Constitution leaves wide open for the cripping of a treaty by the house
through the exercise of its power to deny appropriations. II, for instance,
the house had remained obstinate at the time the Texas treaty was nego-
tiated that splendid state might still have remained outside our Union.
The remedy is to give the house the right to pass on a treaty.
In three successive congresses I have introduced a resolution embody-
ing an amendment to the Constitution giving to the house of representa-
tves equal power with the senate in the ratification of treaties, and I hope
those gentlemen will give that proposition some constellation, in view of
recent international developments and of the trend which this debate has
taken. The French chamber of deputies, the English parliament, the ltl-
ian chamber, all have a part in the ratification of treaties. The United
States house of representatives is the only body among democratic govern
ments in the world today which is deprived of the right to participate in
the making of that part of the law which is embraced in a treaty.
Vesting the treaty-making power in the senate was a survival of an
Gent mistrust of the people and its representative body. Independent of
this consideration, a s a treaty is a law and congress is the law-making
body, the plain deduction is that treaties, as well as statute law shoald
be ratified or enacted by both bodies of congress.

Three Generations From the Pioneers
the Real Exodus Begins


About three generations away from the pioneers the real exodus be-
gins. A little visiting back and forth with the members of the family
who had cast their lot in the cities and towns makes the children wonder
if the LOT OF the brother to remain on the family homestead is the one to
be cherished.
In the meantime the descendants of the first farmers have either lost
out in the demands Of city life and are finding their mess of pottage as
day 1aborers, II they have prospered and forgotten the farm from which
they received their birthright. And most of them do prosper. 1t has
been said that "a per cent of the leading citizens of one of our large East
ern cities were brought up on a farm. Of a group of 100 representative
men, commercial and professional, in Chicago, [ found that IS per cent
came from the country. More than 60 per cent of the men and women
listed in "Whos Who" are likewise from the country.
The successful ones return to the country and build pa1atial homes
and estates and constitute the highly educated landlord class. Is the coun-
try slowly diferentating into this and the propertyless laboring classes?
If America becomes the home of land owners and peasants we will have
failed our Pilgrim fathers mserably and inexcusaby.
