THINGS BEGINNERS
| MUST LEARN FIRST
Explanation Of Terms Used in
Radio and Of Its Basic
/; Principles.

Due to the great interest taken In ra-
do since broadcasting stations have
been started, many radio terms are
seen, and heard that may be unfamiliar
to the novice. Some Of the most com:
monty used terms are explained and
defined below.
Like light, heat and sound, radio
energy is propagated in the form Of q
wave motion. Every one is familiar
with the wave motion set up on the
surface Of still body Of water by the
dropping Of stone into It.
Every time a point on the surface
of the waves goes through complete
set OF motions and starts to repeat
those motions the wave is said to have
gone through q cycle.
The number Of complete cycles gone
through per second Ii the frequency.
The human ear Is responsive to
sound freq ncies up to a few thousand
cycles per second but is not capable Of
responding to the higher frequencies
encountered In radio. Arbitrarily a
frequency Of less than 10000 cycles
has been called an audible frequency
one which can be heard and frei
,quencies above 10000 cycles, radio or
1naudibls NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. they
cannot be heard by the human ear.
The particular type Of wave which
propagates radio energy is an electro
magnetic wave. All OF Us have seen
bits Of iron and steel attracted by the
little toy magnets made up in the form
of horseshoes. This attraction Of the
magnet for the bits d iron and steel
showed the existence Of a magnetic

The high-frequency current Is known
as the carrier-wava and its function
is to radiate into space in the form Of
electromagnetic waves anu by its va
Ration in amplitude carry with 1t the
variation in the tone at the transmit
ting station.
It Is the frequency Of the carrier
wave that determines The wave-length
on which a radiophone station is trans
mitted. BY experiment it has been
found that electromagnetic waves
travel at the same velocity that light
waves travel, that u.s. 1855 600 miles per
second. Wave-length is. the distance
between any two similar points on two
successive waves; for example, the dis
lance from crest to crest Of any two
successive waves in the same direction,
measured in meters, unit Of length
equal approximately to one and one
tenth yards. Converting 10000 miles
to meters, the equivalent is 30OOOO,OO0
meters The length Of an electro-mag-
netic wave is equal then to 800 100000
divided by the frequency. Suppose a
station was transmitting on wave
length Of 800 meters. The frequency
Of the carrier-wave would be approx
mately $4,000 cycles.
Just as a violinist tunes his instru-
ment, that Is, makes a certain string
emit a note Of higher or lower pitch,
or, technically speaking, sound wave
Of higher or lower frequency, by adj
justing the tension on the string, so
may the electrical constants Of the
antenna circuit Of a radiophone trans
mitter be changed in order to have
the station emit carrier-wave Of a
different frequency.
II tuning fork having natural
period corresponding to middle G be
placed near a violinist who is playing,
the fork will vibrate when the musi-
clan plays middle G, but all other times
It will remain quiescent. This phenom-
enon Of the tuning fork vibrating

as mechanical resonance. II a radio

C. P. Christian Endeavor.

The intermediate and Senior So
cieties of the G. P. Church met in q
union meeting with the Society OF the
Christian Church last Sunday evening.
This was one of the best Christian En-
deavor meetings ever held in Union
City. The leaders were Miss Thelma
Nolen, of the Christian Church, and
Robert Bond, of the Cumberland
Presbyterian Church. Duties" the
subject of the evening, was discussed
very ably by the Endeavorers of both
churches and the young people showed
that they understood the duties resting
upon them as individuals, and as So
cieties both in regard to the church and
the community in which they live.
The Senior Society Of the G. P.
Church will hold its semi-anuual cleo
ton of officers next Sunday evening.
This election will be little different
from the elections heretofore, in as
much as the nominating committee
will present two names for each office,
to be voted upon by the members. OF
the society. The election should have
been held last Sunday night but on ac-
count OF the union meeting it was post
poned. Every member is urged to be
present for this very important meet
ing.
The Junior contest ships should both
be ready to ses sail next Sunday, as
Capt. Virginia Howard has 40 passen-
gers, and Captain Eva Roper has Al
passengers. Only so passengers are
required in order that the ships set sail.
Both sides should reach that number OF
points next Sunday. The Juniors are
showing great deal OF interest in their
contest and if your child is not lined
up with the Junior Christian Endeay-e
or work he is missing something.

HOW CRAIG STANDS IN
CARPETS HOME COUNTY

Dresden, Tenn, June 81, 1922.
Editors Enterprise, Ripley, Tenn
Dear Sirs:
Mr.. Craig, OF your city, has been in
our county the past week or ten days,
and he is meeting with wonderful en-
couragerent all over the county. The
people are very much impressed with
Mr.. Craig's appearances, and all you
can hear is the style of his campaign
ing; the farmers especially not being
used to a Congressman or aspirant
mixing out with them as Mr.. Craig is
doing.
Mr.. CARROTS supporters are up in
the air. They realize they have fight
on their hands and don't know how to
fight back, and as one of their strong
est supporters said the other day, "un-
less something is done and done quick
Mr.. Garrett is gone, ands that's the
way we feel about it, in his own county;
with the endorsement OF the Crockett
County Quarterly Court and the County
officials of Lauderdale County, and
knowing these two counties are solidly
behind Mr.. Craig, his election seems a
foregone conclusion. Although Mr..
Garrett is from this county, the people
here remember he beat Mr.. Pierce on a
long term OF Office plea, and they think
it but right that Mr.. Garrett abide by
his campaign promises IS years ago.
The ex-service men are lined up solid
for Mr.. Craig; we realize that Mr.. Gar
rett never intends to aid us in our bat
ties, and we believe Mr.. Craig will.
With thousand ex-service men, and
hundreds of their fathers, mothers, sis
tiers and brothers, together with the
hundreds OF old-timers with us, nothing
but miracle can keep Mr.. Craig from
being our next Congressman.
Sincerely,
ADV. L. w. McCUAN.

us in a union meeting last Sunday
evening and it was real meeting too,
Miss Thelma Nolen of the Christian
Church and Mr.. Robert Bond of the
G. P. Church, led the meeting, Calvin
Reeser, our assistant song leader, as
sisted by Mr.. Sam Lovelace, led the
singing. Endeavorers from both So
cieties made good talks on the subject
of Duties. They brought out to us
thoughts on this subject that we seem
to have forgotten in regard to our
Christian duties. We need more of
these union meetings, as they make US
work closer together in the Christian
Endeavor work.
The expert ehdeavor class is doing
fine and all who are taking this course
interested in the Christian Endeavor
work and are in this way lettering
themselves for the work OF future Cnrls-
tan endeavor.

its first business meeting Thursday
night, June %, at the church.

Miners and the Law.

The recent decision of the supreme
court in the Coronado case, in which
it held that labor unions are liable
for damages, that their treasures are
subject to attachment and their heads
liable to prosecution for offenses such
as those perpetrated in the Illinois
mines, will have it's first application
as a result of the recent massacre.
The apprehension of kilograms
from John L. Lewis, president of the
miners, declaring the companys I'M
ported employees to be common
strike breakers" will be used as tes-
timony to prove that the officers OF
the union inspired the attack.
1t is a serious situation so far as
the miners union is concerned. The
drastic features of the law appear to
be peculiarly adapted to &he present
case. The union has sacrificed the
public's good will, and has brought
upon itself severe condemnation.
The striking miners are able to
exist through the distribution OF
strike benefits, and if this fund is at
tached, they will be without means
of subsistence. They can not posi-
bly, survive a conflict with the fed
eral government Killing strike
breakers will not preserve their jobs,
nor feed their families. They are in
infinitely worse situation to-day than
they were a week ago. They have
placed themselves outside the realm
of sympathy Memphis News-Scim-
