! being put to death. They put the
matter before Zedekiah, and did not
fail to ring the changes on the dear
people" as the modern political dem
agogues do. The weakling, Zede-
kiah, was not able to resist them
and turned him over to them to do
as they pleased. This time they low
cred him with cords into a cistern
covered with mud. 1t was deep or
cords would not have been used.
| There they left him to die-stuck
in the mud!
But God had promised him, when
He commissioned him to preach,
that He would deliver him. Again
| He comes to His servants rescue.
This time He uses a slave-Ebed-
melech was an Ethiopian slave in
the service of the king. He secured
Zedekiah's consent, and with the
tenderest thoughtfulness brough*
old rags to keep the ropes from
hurting his arms, and drew him out
of the well.
There are some interesting ques-
lions that arise in connection with
this story. How were the people to
know who was true and who was
false, when both Hananiah and
jeremiah claimed to speak with the
authority of Jehovah? How are
people today to know the truth
when two teachers claim this au
thority of the word, yet differ wide
| ly in their teaching?
jeremiah answered the question
by saying, See which one comes
true Hananiah said the vessels
would be returned in two years. Jer'
emiah said the others would be car
ried there, and that within that year
Hananiah would die. Who was
right? Today different teaching
must be referred to the whole body
of Scripture, not to isolated pas.
sages. If no conclusion can be
reached, then time must prove who
is right. In the meantime the en-.
lightened conscience of the people
must decide for themselves.
Zedekiah's weakness was deplora-
BILE. He is an outstanding example
of the unhappiness that comes to
the weakling. Jeremiah's courage
and boldness was in marked con-
trast to Zedekiah's weakness and
Wacillating policy. And even his
dungeon experiences were more de.
sirable than the misery which re-
suited from Zedekiah's weakness.
Gods promise to jeremiah held
good in spite of appearances to the
contrary at times. He found a way

the princes which kept them from
killing him, orce it was Zedekiah's
desire for a word Of encouragement,
once it was negro slave-but al,
ways He found a way.
His promises to you and to me
are bankable paper. He will make
them good as we need and use them.
And the way is sufficient-for all
the promises of God are yea and

"Is a single valve set sufficiently
strong to operate with a phonograpll
attachment?"-A.J J.
Answer-As a general rule there
is not sufficient volume obtainable
in a single tube to operate success
fully with the monograph. The
best way is to test it out and see. If
you can hear distinctly everything
that is said when holding the phones
foot from your ears, it may be
possible to hook up the monograph
attachment so that five or six per.
sons sitting close to the instrument
may hear the broadcasting.
"I have a detector and two-step
outfit and want to add a plate and
grid variometer to the set. Will
you explain the difference between
the two and tell me how to distin-
guish them from each other?"-S. P.
Answer-There is absolutely no
difference. They derive the grid and
plate prefix from the fact that one
is used in the plate circuit and the
other in the grid circuit.

HERE SAD|PLOMAT
BUT NO GOVERNMENT

WASHINGTON.-Being a diplo-
mat without a government has it's
advantages over being a mere man
without a country.
Witness the Hon. Boris Bakhme
teff.
Bakhmeteff resides in the palatial
Russian embassy" here. In the lat
est edition Of the Congressional Di-
rectory he is listed as Ambassador
extraordinary and plenipotentiary,"
from Russia to the United States.
Yet the government which ap-
pointed Bakhemteff was over
thrown more than four years ago
when Kerensky fled and kenine and
Trotzl<y stepped into power.
The state department., which has
refused recognition to the soviet gov
eminent, still accords Bakhmeteff
recognition. q
At Yhe office of Dewitt C. Poole,
chief of the division Of Russian af-
fairs of the state department, it was
said that: 1--WE are in frequent
communication with DR.. Bakhme-
teff.''
At the embassy it is explained that
Bakhmeteff's labors for the past
four years have been in "liquidating
the affairs of Russia in America"
and representing the interests of
the Russian people" This matter,
it is clearly inferred. is deemed to
be wholly distinct from the interests
Of the soviet government.

uidating" Russia's affairs here have
been effecting settlement of con-
tracts for war supplies made by Rus
STA prior to November 1917. For
most part this has BEG done out of
Sam to Russia before the Bolshe-
ment, and by the sale of Russian
munitions and supplies to the other
allies during the last year of the
war.
Uncle Sam, however, has exercised
close supervision Of disbursements
from the amount Of the government
loan.
OF the $1S7,729,75O advanced by
Uncle Sam, there remained on de-
post at the time of the overthrow
VI the ASISlShy SONSIIlIIlSnC, 9OO,-
100000. That, it is stated, has now
been practically all drawn out.
Although the staff of the embassy
h., been reduced to merely a coun-
sellor and two secretaries, the big
embassy building is maintained with
a corps of servants and attendants
reminiscent of the old days before
the overthrow of the car.
Just where the finances for the
maintenance Of the embassy are de-
rived is one of the diplomatic Sc
crets" into which it is not diplo-
matte to inquire. However, one is
given to understand it is a necessary
expense properly to be met out Of
the proceeds Of "liquidating" the af-
fairs of pre-soviet Russia.
And. speaking of ''liquidating,"
continued recognition as ambassador
from Russia carries with it the priv
ilege of bringing in, -'nder diplomat
ic immunity, liquids otherwise bar
red by the Volstead law.
Which is, in many minds, an add
ed reason why being a diplomat,
even without a government, is a
status greatly to be desired.

the methods available for tuning the

the methods available for tuning the
radio receivers, some Thought must
be given to the total length of the
antenna as well as it's height.
Most radio fans wish to listen to
wave lengths as short as 200 meters.
1t is much easier to load" Small
antenna for the reception Of long
waves than to operate upon a long
antenna for receiving short waves.
It is well to keep this in mind when
constructing the antenna.
A good rule, although one which
gives only approximations, is:
1.-THE total overall length of the
antenna system in feet from it's ex
IRENE end to the ground connection
should not be greater than the wave
length in meters, divided by H."
Following out this rule, and as.
Stunning that it is desired to receive
from stations transmitting at wave
length of 200 meters, the result will
be 166 feet.

mast, Of approximately this height.
To such, it can be said that the re-
suits obtained will warrant the eff
fort.
To those who must place Deepen
dence upon what natural supports
are available, it may be pointed out
that the higher the wire, the better.
provided that the total length Of the
antenna from it's extreme end to the
earth connections, does not exceed
the figure derived from using the
formula given above.
If the antenna is of too great
length, no success is to be had in
timing it to the shorter wave
lengths. Gains that might result
from increased lengths are more than
offset by loss of advantages due to
tuning.

Helpful Construction
Hints for Beginners

Neither the number Of wires in
the antenna, nor the height, will af-
feet this approximation to any great
degree.
If it is possible to secure a non
conductive support as high as 1855
feet to the top of which can be run
vertical, or nearly vertical, wire
or two, the results will be consider
ably superior to those obtained from
the same length wire placed in the
form of an ''L" or "T"- shaped an
tenna, whose vertical sections are
only 80 or 40 feet in length.
But the average radio fan will not
have available supports as high as

The activity of the princes in some
other direction gave Ze,lekiah an op-
portunity to send for jeremiah and
consult him. All Of them were afraid
of him; the princes were afraid to
put him to death and eased their con-
sciences by putting him in this pris-
on house and leaving him to starve
to death. Zedekiah really wanted to
help him, but was afraid Of his cour-
tiers. But now he sent for him to
inquire from him if there were any
work of the Lord. He hoped for
something encouraging. Jeremiah
had the opportunity Of saving his life
by soothing Zedekiah's wrought-up
feelings; but jeremiah was true to
