Changing Tubes Around

ouestion-can you suggest any method
for setting better results with two stages
or radi0-freQucncy, and do you rccOm-
mend one or two stages Of audiO-amplln-
cation for the operation of a loud speaker
-. G.. g.
Answer would suggest the use Of
two stages Of audo-freoucncy in order
20 increase the volume sufficiently to
get loud-speaking results. There is
one peculiar thing about radio ire
quency amplifcation, and IL IN 81:
You will very often hnd that by chang
ing the tubes around you will get bet
ter results where you are using more
than one stage Of this form Of ampli-
heation.

Harmonic Is Heard

Question: have been listening 0u -gQ
meters lately and have heard some Or the
broadcast stations with a wave of, 200 or
o little below. Some OF the stations were
KYW. VIZ and WIZ. l. this done pur-
pos>ly, or Is II Just another wave OF the
statlony-G. @. y.
Answer-There is no doubt that the
radiation Of the 200 metefs Is a second
harmonic and Is probably caused
through overlooking modulator tubes
az the transmitting station. I under
stand that the new equipment, which
Is being installed at WIZ. is especially
designed TO overcome this difficulty.

gest that you place Il squarely across

circumstances, but the more efficient

cent FOR this purpose. The whistling

Congress Not to Act on Any
Legislation Except When
Absolutely Needed
(BY unltad Rfassl

: Washington, Aug. 30-Coneress
will not enact any emergency legis-
lation authorizing seizure of the
railroads and idle coal mines except
in the immediate necessity of an
absolute crisis-which does not exist
now.
This virtually complete poll
of sentiment in both houses showed
today, is the reaction on Capitol Hill
to the official white house statement
that President Harding wants Con-
gress before it adjourns to arm him
with power to- take over the rail and
coal properties as the last resort
and operate them in the public well
fare.
.. Many senators and congressman
expressed doubt as to whether such
legislation could be passed in any
event, and all agreed that a seizure
act could be put through only when
it was certain that it was the one
move that would stop industr, al
paralysis and end severe hardship.
: Only q, few members were found
who believed that seizure legislation
should or could be pushed through
at this time. s

TO Turn too quickly; 40 per cent. from
over-speeding and only 20 per cent. or
IL per cent. of all accidents were due
to unavoidable skidding.
Many Collision. in Iowz
A rigid investigation by the Iowa
State Highway Commission during 1921
showed that of 1858 accidents which
occurred in that state in which $50
persons were killed and 4,195 injured,
ia accidents or "a per cent of the
total were due to skidding, and Iowa
has practically no asphalt roads. The
great percentage of accidents in Iowa
were collisions. OF these there were
1910, with 1,0l0 persons killed and
injured.
Asphaltic pavements have not caused
any appreciate number of automobile
accidents. While the tractive resistance
of aspha1tic concrete is relatively low,
it is not so low as to cause excessive
slipperiness. As a matter of fact,
statistics prove that asphaltic pavements
are less, slippery than are the other So
called permanent types.
