Besides stocking his shelves, the

the art, either by mail, or through the

deliver a potential hat only varies
slightly, due to the commutator ripple
In sections where direct current il
used for house lighting, a motor gen
orator set is the only practical and
satisfactory source of plate potential
Taking first cost, maintenance cost
convenience and space required into
consideration, the best way to obtain
the required current potential for the
operation of vacuum tube transmit
tiers, is by the use of a step-up trans.
former and rectifying tubes.
A line of vacuum tube rectifiers is
on the market under the name ken
otrons." These tubes have been de-
signed to have the proper operating
characteristics to rectify alternating
current for the line of transmitting
tubes put on the market by the same
company.
If radiotron transmitting tubes are
used it is only necessary to build or
ment heating winding and a plate cur
rent winding and by the use Of keno
irons for rectifers. The entire power
to operate the transmitting set can be
taken from the alternating current
house lighting circuit.
1t is possible to use an el%ectrolytic
rectifer in order to rectify the plate
potential after the ITO volt house
lighting circuit has been stepped up
by means of a transformer. Electro
lytic rectifiers are probably the cheap
est source Of plate potential, but they
are sloppy and demand a lot Of care
and attention.
To operate the standard five-watt
transmitting tube, known as radio
iron type wv POP, a plate voltage
of $50 is required and the plate cur
rent per tube is 45-10O of an ampere.
The flament requires 2.35 amperes at

kentron type Nv PIG are made to
be used in conjunction with the FIVE
watt transmitting tubes. The recti-
fer tubes are so designed that one rec

For those who do not wish to be
bothered with the trouble and expense
r%ectifers, there is a circuit known
the self-rectifying circuit that can
be used for radio telegraphy. In
using a self-rectifying circuit at least
w tubes must be employed. If more

NEW BRUNSWICK, Jan. 6.-By
the allotment yesterday by the free
holders o. districts to be covered
by Nathan Robins, Democratic SEAL
er of weights and measures, and his
Republican assistant Joseph Fertig,
it is thought thai further friction
may be eliminated in reference to
the amount of work done by each
man.
Fertig was assigned to the district
comprising New Brunswick, High
land Park, Midtown. South River,
Sayreyille and North Brunswick
township, while the balance of the
county, excepting Perth Amboy'
which employees its own sealer, was
allotted to MI. Robins.
ON numerous occasions the free
holders have commented on the vast
difference in mount OF work per-
formed eacn month according TO the
reports submitted though the sealer
was devoting his entire time to the
work white his assistant, according
10 rumor makes his inspections
while carrying on his regular en-
ployment.
The rerorts before the board yes
terday shoy a marked difference IN
the work done by each man Ding
the month of October, yet terug

ed the best and in which there is
more work to be done.
The December reports Indicate
that Robins made 1,042 inspections
as compared to the 1913 inspections
by his assistant. The former also
tested 1929 a~voirdupois weights

METUCHEN, Jan. 6.-Despite the
fact that there are only three lem
bers on the Metuchen police force'
including Chief Willard r.. Hutchl-
son. who worked full time, the
chiefs annua,Nreport for 1921 shows
much work done by these men dur
ina the past year. There were 265
arrests made during the year OF
which ffty-five were cases of THEFT
or assault. A total of 224 dodgers
were cared for during the year as
compared TO 90 in 1920. A total OF
SO accidents We're Investigated by

two horses which had been stolen
were recovered by the police. Fines

from those arrested.
An important point brought out in
the chefs report is that special Of

the year. This means that n more

the fire was, and thus began the habit of
dwelling in one place, and of keeping
woman about that place to care for it. BY
accident food fell into the fire as cave
woman tended it, one day, and when she
pulled it out, half burned, she scorched
her fingers.
AS naturally as a modern woman licks
her fingers when she burns them with
curling iron, the cave woman stuck her
fingers in her mouth. Some of the food
was on them-and for the first time she
tasted cooked food.
Mankind became cave dwellers because
of woman. The man could and did live
anywhere that night overlook him, but
woman needed some cozier, more secure
place in which to bear children and rear
them. And she noticed that animals made
burrows in which to live, and that mother
bears, for instance, were always found in
caves Exploration of the successive lay
ers of refuse in the ancient cave dwellings
of France, Spain and Germany proves that
the caves were inhabited for many gen.
erations by animals before human beings
dispossessed them.
And then, one night, it was a woman,
tending the fire or nursing her baby, who
snatched burning brand from the tlre to
drive bear away from the cave mouth,
and found that the flame had hardened it
before it charred. After that spears and
clubs were hardened in flames. And it
was a woman, watching by her fire; who
noticed chunk of copper rock smelt and
learned about metals. But that came
thousands of years later.
When the cave man came home with an
animal slung across his shoulder, he would
throw himself down to rest while the
woman kept watch. And she, examining
his club, which she had hardened, would
notice indentations even in the hardest
part. She would learn that the indenta-
tions were from the teeth of the animal
he had killed. Therefore, the teeth were
harder than wood. From which it was an
easy step to the use of large teeth for
weapons and the tusks of mammoths and
sabre-toothed tigers.
Just as woman noticed the spider-web
catching the fly, did she observe a man.
moth or a bear or a tiger struggling in
some sink hole or gully, which gave her
the idea of the pitfall. And as she watched
a bird tangled in the vines about some
tropical tree the idea of snares came to
her.
The whole process of reflection, of put
ting two and two together was hers. For
the mans instinct was to kill and only
