LINKING MOVIE AND RADIO
British Scientists Have Some Success
In Wireless Transmission Of
Motion Pictures.

British scientists are reported to
have met with more or less success In
developing a method of transferring
motion pictures by radio. Some
months ago a photograph was trans
ferred by wireless from the Copen-
hagen newspaper, the Politiken, to Eng
land, and later from England to ship
in mid Atlantic, so that the possIbil-
ity of linking the movies with the new
art Is not remote.
II perfected the new development of
the already versatile art will make II
possible for one to see on his own re-
ceiving instrument things that are hap
pening at great distance. For
instance, a ship is sinking at sea. The
transmitting station of the vessel, in
stead Of sending message of the dis
aster, sends picture that anyone with
q receiving set will he able to see Just
as the present broadcasting programs
are heard.
That all sounds remote now, but
the telephone was considered even
more so, and the wireless, even after
Marconi's immortal message had
bridged the Atlantic. was generally be-
lieved to be akin 10 the idea Of per
petual motion.

HOW AMATEUR CAN
BUILD A RECEIVER
instructions for Setting Up the
Antenna and for Assembling
the Tuner.

In order to pick up sufficient energy
with the simple radio receiving set
It Is necessary to connect one termi-
nal to an antenna consisting of one or
more wires suspended In the air and
insulated from all grounded material
and the other terminal to a ground,
usually the water supply pipe. The
height Of an antenna used with a
small receiver should not be less than
30 feet. AS the received energy va
ries directly as the height Of an anten-
ma, the higher the antenna the louder
will be the signals or voice produced.
The length Of an antenna for short
wave reception should not be less than
90 feet nor should 1t be longer than
200 feet. The minimum wave length
to which simple receiver can be
adjusted for electrical resonance will
be above that used by amateurs IL
the receiver be connected to an an
tenna 200 feet or more In length.
A simple radiophone receiver cap
able Of picking up radlophone sta
tions similar to KDKA at East Pitts
burgh, can be assembled by novice
for from S4 to SIS, depending upon
the builders ability to use his hands.
II the builder will construct most Of
his apparatus he will appreciate 1t
much more and probably will under
stand more about its operation than
II he buys set already made. How

ity or the time to spend constructing
their own apparatus the following de-
scription will not only give the details
as to the construction Of each COM
ponent part Of receiver but also
what standard ready-made parts can
be purchased and used in its stead.
The material can be purchased at
any electrical supply store.
IN erecting a simple antenna for
use with the receiver shown In the
diagram, the antenna proper and the
lead-in are of stranded hard-drawn
copper wire, strand No. %, costing
about 1 cent per foot. The two insu.
lators are Of nodded material and can
be purchased for about 25 cents each.
The antenna shown Is supported be
tween a house and pole. 1t may be
found more convenient to support II
between q tree and house. two houses
or even between two chimneys on
the same house. In bringing down the
lead-in care should be taken that II

In making the ground connection
the same kind Of wire can be used Al

can clean a section Of the waterpipe
thoroughly and solder the ground wire
tc It.

The Tuner.

Starting one-half inch from one end
of the cardboard tube wind on the
No. % ID. G. G. wire within one-half
inch Of the other end of the tube.
Fasten one end Of the winding to the
tube but allow some surplus wire on
the other end for making a connec-
ton. After the winding Is In place
give 1t a coat Of shellac or varnish
to hold the turns in place. Assemble
the circular-cut pieces Of wood In the
geometrical center of the square
blocks and then shellac or varnish
them for the Appearances sake.
When thoroughly dry slip the two
end blocks into the wound tube and
by means of few finishing brads
driven through the cardboard tube.
fasten the end blocks to the wound
tube. The. slider is to be mounted
on top Of the coil and should be cap
able Of making contact with any turn
Of the wire on the tube. In order to
remove the insulation from the wire
jusr under the rod where the slider
moves back and forth, wrap a piece Of
sandpaper around q thin piece Of
wood and using another piece Of wood
as guide, sandpaper the insulation
from the winding. Drill a hole one
eighth inch In diameter through the
slider rod about one-fourth inch In
from each end so that the rod can
be fastened by screws to the end
blocks. After the slider rod is fastened
in place see that the contact finger
on the bottom Of the slider can at all
times make good contact with the
winding. Mount binding post on
either end f the coil. attaching one
by means of wire to the slider rod
and the other to the end of the wire
wound on the tube and the tuner :s
complete. A tuner can be purchased
already assembled for about $3.50 to

MANY GARDEN PLANTS
ARE S0WN TOO THICK
To Produce Best Vegetables
Thinning Out Is Necessary.
Many Gardeners Use More Seeds Than
Needed Under Expectation Of So
curing Fuller stand-soms
Must Be Pulled.

| prepared By the United States Department
| of Agrtculture.)
Thin your garden crops to an even
stand II you want to produce good
vegetables.
| Gardeners usually BOW more seeds
than are necessary, under the expec-
tation Of getting fuller stand, or at
least Of having enough. This results
In no particular harm except the waste
Of seeds, provided the plants are
thinned before they begin to crowd
each other.
Peas very seldom need any thinning,
as they will thrive when planted quite
close together. Beans planted FIVE
seeds to the hill and the hills II inches
apart will not need to be thinned, but
II six or seven seeds have been
dropped It will be desirable to thin
them, leaving only four or five In the
hill. Corn should always be thinned
to three or four stalks In the hill, the
weaker stalks being pulled out, leav-
Ing only the best. Radishes, unless too
thick, can be allowed to stand, thin
ming being accomplished by pulling up
plants for table use as they reach edi-
BILE size.
Lettuce Is generally sowh entirely
too thickly and, to thin the bed, the
small or medium-sized plants can be
pulled out and used. Some of the
plants may be lifted and transplanted,
spacing them three or four inches in
each direction, so that they will devel-
op into distinct heads for use later.
Beets are usually planted entirely too
thickly, partly due to the fact that
each seed ball contains two or three
seeds and, as a rule, every one Of these
seeds grow. They should be thinned
to stand not closer than two inches
apart In the row. Still later every
other beet should be pulled out. This
last thinning, however, can be post
poned until the beets are. large enough
to use.
Carrots and parsnips are generally
, sown too thickly and must be thinned.
The thinning should be done just as
, soon as the plants are large enough
to pull out, and as they are thinned a
little loose soil should be worked In
around the plants that are left. Two
or two and one-half inches is about the
right distance to leave the carrots, and
three to five inches for parsnips.
The gardener may be reluctant to
pull out nice, thrifty plants, but he
should remember that II all are al
| lowed to remain few IL any. will ma
| ture satisfactorily.

Envelope Valued at s12,5OO.

August Lutteken OF Denver, one Of
the largest stamp collectors In the
world, has an envelope mailed In 1859
which Is valued at $4,000.
There are no postage stamps on tho
envelope. 1t bears only what were
known as postmasters' stamps, requir-
Ing payments Of 5 cents overseas post
age and the collection of another 8
cents postage from the addressee on
delivery. No street address appears
because such letters could be received
only by calling in person at the post
office. The practice was discontinued
about the time Of the Civil war and
specimens have become so rare that

of sanitation carries off more pigs
than does improper feeding. DR.. X.
w. Stouder, veterinarian at Iowa
State college, has found that where
pigs are allowed to live anywhere"
they will often develop into runts
with bull nose and snuffies and soon
die due to unknown diseases. A
streak of wet weather will start pigs
going backward, especially where
they are allowed muddy quarters.
Soon infections break out in their
gums or jaws and faces become dis
torted and "bull nose" Is the result.
When the infection causes the cutting

er says that 1t is the result of filth

fore they get their growth.
Movable Hog House Favored.
The farmer who has a large num-
ber of pigs can well afford to build
movable hog house. Such houses,
designed by the Iowa experiment sta
tion at Ames, have been used for a
number of years and have proven
their worth. Recently requests for
plans were received from Italy where
some farmers had heard Of the houses
and wanted to try them. These
houses are inexpensive, easily kept
clean and can be pulled from one
field to another. They can be turned
90 that sunlight Is allowed to enter
and are arranged so that plenty Of
ventilation Is provided for. The fea-
ture Of the house is the manner In
which sunlight Is allowed to enter
through the top.
The movable hog house Is also cas-
lily disinfected at any time and II
several are used the hogs and pigs
can be transferred from one to an
other while cleaning is being done.
Rotation Of hog pastures prevents
infestations by parasites, such as
worms which get into the soil and
affect the entire herd.

TOOLS AND MACHINERY RUST
Best Plan to Prevent Depreciation 10
Liberal Use Of Paint and
Grease In Spring.

Many farm tools and machines rust
and rot out rather than wear out.
The best way to prevent this deprecia-
tion, which, unlike wear, goes on both
winter and summer II the tools are
exposed. is to use paint and grease to
save the cost of new tools Or parts
in the spring. A little paint on
wooden parts prevents warping, check
ing, and rotting; oil on wearing sur
faces Of cultivator. moving machine
or binder. and common axle grease
smeared on the bright parts Of plowA

information is cleaned from an article
contributed by Sheriff Adair for last
weeks issue, but which wes crowded

the hunt has already appeared in the
Banner, their names are not given.
It is to be learned from Mr.. Adair's
contribution that the party left Shreye-
port aboard special coach on the
night of the I'd, taking along every
thing necessary to make the hunt
success, including pack of thirty-four
hounds to run deer, and in camp they
were waited on by seven negroes. The
trip was made over the T. and p. as
far as Melville and at that place the
party boarded trucks for 17-mile run
down the Atchafalaya River to the
camp site, on the Little Alabama
River. Mr.. Adair says this stream
abounds in fine fishing and that good
water for camp use was to be had in
plenty.
According to Mr.. Adair, The final
result of the hunt was fourteen deer
brought into camp and two others
killed that were found dead in the
woods; also. one catamount was bag
