ASKS CITY TO AID
SHRINE PREPARE
FOR CONVENTION
Standiford, Executive
Secretary, Tells of Eff
forts of Business Men.
SEES HUGE CROWD
Session Will Bring Largest
Attendance in History of
District. He Says.

Predicting that civic pride will
cause Washington business men to
show a solid front next June when
the shriners meet here during the
largest convention ever held in this
city. Harry Standiford. executive
secretary of the Almas Temple 1923
Shrine Committee, in an address
yesterday said many local men are
neglecting their private interests in
order to make the convention a
success.
They are doing 1t for love Of the
community and are doing IT un-
selfishly." Standiford declared.
The average washingtonian who
comprehends what this event means.
not only to his city but to America.
Is moved by a broader spirit than
may at first blush be evident" he
said.
Asks Cooperation
1T is the duty Of every citizen
to begin taking account of the POSI-
tion he will be in next June to
offer the largest measure Of hos
pitality possible to the multitude
we shall have with us at that time.
You have continually heard the
.rclaim put forward that we shall
chave greater crowds of Americans
than any city ever before enter
>tained. and 1t may be you have
wondered why in this particular ses-
sion we are to surpass all others
that have taken place.
With a slow but gradual return
to something like Normal conditions
the average man looks to Washing
ton as the seat OF what he holds
dear in country. the center of his
civic hopes. the depository of the
sacred things his forefathers helped
to make sacred
so the Shriner with thought ele-
vated-or he would not be in the
mystic tie-with a vision of drink
ing at the fountain of patriotic in
spiration sees the imperial council
session of next June in a light
quite different from that which he
visualizes an imperial session else
where. Lights. color. music. frtv-
oIity may be. merriment and dis
play. Yes. and on a scale unpre-
cedented-
Thousands to Come.
But in the background. back OF
his laughing face and rollickinG
manner is cherished a desire not
awakened by any other city-a de-
sire to be near and in the places
where the nation was made
1T explains why we certainly
shall witness next June a tidal
kwave of Americans sweeping across
the Sierras. the Rockies, the Central
valleys. the Alleghenies. gathering
|muItitudes as it proceeds until II
shall roll down the Blue Ridge and
sweep into it's arms the city of its
possessed and
owned not by itself, but the city
| that belongs to this free people.
And they are coming, fez
crowned and with songs on their
F Hips, to possess their own"

USING ELECTRIC LIGHT WIRE
Experts Tell the Safe Way to Employ
This System for Radio
Receiving.

Since the announcement that the
bureau of standards of the depart
ment Of commerce had perfected a
method Of employing electric light
wires In place of aerials, considerable
experimenting has been done by vari-
Gus amateurs, some Of whom have had
good luck while others succeeded
only in blowing large number OF
fuses
Engineers of an eastern electric light
company have offered the following
suggestions to amateurs:
"First-Successful results have been
obtained so far only with audlon bulb
sets. Crystal sets receive the signals,
but for some reason they are very
weak and ipd1stinct.
"Second-No set should be used on
this system without air or oil filled
condensers, placed In series with either
the antenna circuit or the ground
circuit-preferably in the antenna
circuit.
'Third-A fuse net heavier than
one-half ampere should be used In
series and just ahead of the antenna
connection.
, 'Fourth-An ordinary separate de-
tachment plug-i. e., one with two
blades connecting the two separate
halves Of the plug-is used. Only one
wire is run from this plug, the other
binding screw left undisturbed. This
single conductor wire should be long
enough to reach from q handy electric
light socket to the table where the
instrument 10 located and should
terminate in the fuse mentioned above.
In case an externally connected con-
denser is used, the circuit should be
run from the fuse to the condenser
and from the condenser to the anten.
N binding post Of the receiving set.
I'm sets where the condenser 10
built into the instrument the connsc-
don from the fuse IL run directly to
the antsnna binding post. All other
connections should be exactly the
same as for conventional overhead
aerial receiving.
''screw the attachment plug into
the electric light socket and tune as
usual. In case no signals are received
reverse the blades in the attachment
plug BY simply pulling the attachment

The grid condenser will allow alter
mating current to flow to the grid but
will not allow any charge that might
collect on the grid to flow through It
to the filament. The only way q
charge that might collect on the grid
could flow to the fllament would be
through the high resistance Of about
$4,000 to 100000 ohms and would al
low the charge on the grid TO leak
off slowly.

current would flow in the plate cir
cult and rapidly exhaust the "B" bat
terry.
Should the tube, by means Of the
potential applied to the grid, be made
to operate at point on the charac-
teristic curve midway between the up
per and lower bends-that is, on the
straight part Of the curve, symmetri-
cal variations in the grid potential
would cause symmetrical change in the

halfway around.
"Caution-Under no consideration
should the connection from the electric
light socket be brought directly into
contact with the ground connection,
or fuses will be blown in the house
circuit and the whole house left with
out light. Operators should also be
careful about making contact them
selves bodily with the electric light
wire and ground Mt the same time, In
order to avoid shock"

SHORT FLASHES

The first national radio COM
pass station on the Great Lakes
was recently installed. Other
stations will shortly be in serv-
ice when the ''graveyard' Of the
lakes will have lost it, terrors.
It is claimed that John Hayes
Hammond, Jr., and DR.. e. L..
Chaffee have invented an appli-
ance that insu1ss secrecy IN
wireless. The system is based
on principle Of producing char
acteristic waves to which only
especially equipped receivers
are responsive. p.
Secretary Hoover's force Of
"ether cops" may take the form
of special government detect
ing stations where aerial COM
passes could be arranged 20 as
to detect the direction from
which Interruptions come. BY a
series Of relays, the government
station nearest the violating
amateur could. be notified and
the source Of trouble stopped. :
Now the fans in England are
having hard time with their
air. According to q report from
England there ara only 5000
authorized amateur operators in
the United Kingdom. The Lon
don Daily Mail states that the
reason for the arts tardy
growth Is the fact that cham
y pering and senseles0 restf1c-
lions In this country prevent
wireless amateurs from getting
practice. The old f0gies Of the
q army and navy air forces are
afraid of the amateurs and use
their influence In having the
postohice authorities impose i'm
possible and vexatious restric-
tons that limit the field"

would now produce a large decrease

NEW YORK, Feb. 21.-Col. r. C.
CholmeleyJones, former director of
the bureau of war risk insurance, died
at the Presbyterian hospital early to-
day. He had been i'll at the hospital
since Oct 80 last.
Col. Cholmeley-Jones, who was 38
years OF age, was twice rejected for
military service during the war, but
the government, recognizing his abil-
1ty as an organizer, gave him cap
tain's commission in the adjutant gen
erals department and sent him over
seas with the war risk section In
this work he was colleague of the
late Major Willard Straight Short
ly after he arrived in France, Col.
Cholmeley-Jones became chief of the
war risk bureau in the American ex-
peditionary forces remaining in France
until 1919
Upon his return to America he was
called to Washington by the secretary
Of the treasury and became director
of the bureau of war risk insurance,
his task being the reorganization OF
the work being done by the bureau
He continued at this work for almost
two years, when he resigned to be
come vice president of the Finance
and Trading corporation of this city
Heart disease was the cause of his
death.
