The Trade Journals Tell Us That

wooden yarns have advanced since
opening prices in November from %
to 35 cents a pound, which is evil
dent that prices of ready to wear
clothing will not be any cheaper
in fact with the advance of wooden
yarn, and no reduction to speak of in
labor, our prices, as our suits are
marked for spring business are eX-
tremely cheap, and by far cheaper
than the same quality of clothes can
be bought at according to the cloth
ing market of today at wholesale.
We study condition and act accord
ingly and have the interest of our
trade constantly in mind. SO if you
want a fine suit for spring, please
see US. Get a nice suit and save
many dollars.

THE RECEIVING ANTENNA.

In the case of the transmitting
antenna the function is to create
electromagnetic and electrostatic
waves, which are radiated through
space to one or more receiving sta
tions. The electromagnetic waves
are due to the varying magnetic field
surrounding the transmitting anten-
ma, and the electro static waves are
due to the varying electric field in the
condenser, formed by the antenna and
grounding system. The two so COM
bine to produce the spreading out
effect and the up and down or wave
motion.
1t then becomes necessary at a re-
ceiving station to reverse the process.
That Is. the waves must induce a
high frequency alternating current
cult at the receiving, station. The re-
ceiving antenna proNides the neces-
sary circuit. 1t may be quite similar
to the transmitting aptenna. All that
is usually required, however, is a
single wire considerably elevated
above the earth and connected to
earth Cor counterpoise gtrOund)
through the receiver. The wire should
not be too long nor too short for the
wave lengths it is desired to receive.
In order to have maximum cur
rent flowing in this antenna circuit it
is necessary to tune it to the trans
mitting antenna. That is, a condition
of resonance between the two cir
cults must be secured. This is done
by adjusting the frequency of the an
tenna circuit Cor it's wave lengthy
and may be accomplished by varla-
tion of an inductance coil or the ca

pacity of series condenser Or both
a variable coil and series condenser
may be used simultaneously In
creasing the inductance of tho an
tenna circuit decreases it's frequency
and increases its wave length. De-
creasing the inductance does just the
opposite. Of course. In the case of a
series condenser an increase of con-
denser capacity decreases the fire.
Quency and increases the wave length
of the circuit, and vice versa But II
must be remembered that if one con-
denser is in series with another, the
total capacity Is not the arithmetical
sum of the two, but a value smaller
than the smallest capacity. The an
tenna and ground system have a GER
tain capacity (due to condenser ef-
fect), ana this capacity Is in series
with any condenser Cor Jumped ca
pacity) which may be put in series
with antenna and ground. The total
capacity of the circuit is thus de-
creased when a series condenser is
employed for tuning purposes. This
decrease of capacity and consequent
decrease of wave length may be COM
pensated for by adding inductance
in the circuit. The principle value of
a condenser is. therefore, to decrease
the wave length of the antenna below
that which would be had without any
series inductance coil. The condenser
is sometimes, therefore, called
short wave condenser" 1t is usually
made variable and may have an air
dielectric.

NEW RADIO DEVICE
|NSURES PRIVACY
John Hays Hammond. Jr.,
inventor of Apparatus Her.
aided as Success.

GLOUCESTER. Mass, May 20.-A
comparatively simple apparatus, de-
signed to prevent any station from
taking radio messages except those
Intended for it,. has been per-
fected by John Hays Hammond.
jr., 1t was announced here today.
The invention apparently has revo-
lutionized radio communication.
The new apparatus makes it pos
sible for the same wave to carry
ssvera! messages simultaneously and.
further, 1t is said. both voice and
. "de may be transmitted. The ap-
psrstus also will allow a far great
ct number o! stations to communicate
over limited number of wave
lengths. Accidental Interference
from other stations is greatly reduc-
ed. efficiency - Increased, and at
mo~ ~pher!c~ electr,city or static is
dim.nisbed. in. It's effect. .
According to statement issued by
Mr.. Hammond, he has been at work
upon these problems fo- fourteen
years y demonstration was given
recently before officials and experts
of one Of the leading radio COM
panies of America. Mr.. Hammond
sid that the United States Navy and
War Departments have given his
latest discoveries exhaustive tests
with success.
The system, it is declared. en-
bodies a direct and simple means of
insuring privacy. and it will be prac-
tically Impossible under ordinary
conditions for any other than the
proper receiving station to hear any,
thing but tumble.
The Treasury Department was au-
thoriZed in 1916 to set aside an ap-
preparation of S750.000 to acquire the
patent rights of John Hays Ham
mond. j.. in order to have the ex-
elusive use of his researches and in
ventions In the line of. the radio
dynamic control of torpedoes. Mill.
tary authorities spent a large amount
of time in urthe-ing the idea until
last summer, when the chief of the
coast artillery. owing to the develop
ments of bombing from airplanes. de-
cided to recommend its abandonment
1t is stated that because of the
new device the Navy has asked the
Senate subcommittee considering the
Army appropriation bill to strike out
the requirement that the $750.000 ap-
preparation made in 1916 to acquire
the special rights of John Hays
Hammond, jr., be returned to the
Treasury.

HARD AND SOFT TUBES.

The terms hard" and Soft" used
to describe certain kinds of audfon
tubes. are not often clearly defined,
so that many radio operators may
not know exactly.,swhat Is meant
when they are: used. A hard" tube
is in realitySa vacuum tube, that is,
one from which 4 great portion of
the air has been exhausted and the
air within 1t is greatly rarified.
These are known TO the trade as am-
plifying tubes and require at least
forty-five volts In the ''E" circuit
for their satisfactory operation.
soft" tubes are not exactly vacuum
tubes. but contain some gas and
operate on circuit of IS to "a

produced may be said to occur stimuli
taneously at both stations.
Electro-Magnetic Energy.
The electromagnetic energy con-
tanned in the wave, however. de-
creases with the square of the dis
tance from their source, and energy Is
also absorbed from the waves by any
thing in their path which will con-
duct electricity, such as metal struc-
lures. trees. etc Therefore very
powerful transmitting stations are
required to be effective over long
distances.
The Navy's transpacific high-power
radio circuit comprises the radio sta
tions at Cavite, in the Philippines /:
Honolulu, in the Hawaiian Islands;
and San Diego, in California, whence
continent by radio with the high
power station at Annapolis, the latter
station being controlled directly from
the Navy Department in Washington.
Such are the vagaries in radio COM
munication that while messages from
Cayite, eastbound, are daily copied
directly at the receiving stations at
San Francisco and San Diego. west
bound messages must be relayed by
the San Diego station to Honolulu
and thence to Cavite. In fact. ii is
sometimes necessary for Honolulu to
again relay through the station at
Guam. the distance from Guam to
, Cavite being only 1888 miles. where
as the distance between Cavite and
the California coast is in excess of
5000 miles.
This will give an indication of what
may be expected from high-power ra-
diophone broadcasting stations as .es-
tablished in the future to give service
over a given distance in all directions
ofNthe compass.
The antenna supports of the Cavite
station consist of three self-support-
ing steel towers. each 500 feet in height,
and so located that their centers form
an equilateral triangle 1000 feet on
the sides.
These towers support the overhead
part of the antenna, nearly 500 feet
above the earth. from which wires lead
down to the transmitting apparatus
in the powerhouse and thence to the
ground" part of the antenna. which
consists Of copper wires buried about
one foot in the earth and radiating in
all directions from the powerhouse to
and beyond the outer edges of the
antenna area.
Transmitting Equipment.
The hieh-power transmitting equip
ment consists of arc converters of 500
kilowatt power capacity. installed in
duplicate. two units being installed so
that. IL necessary, repairs can be made
on one unit while the other is func-
tioning into the antenna- and thereby
insuring the continuous operation of
the station.
The receiving station for Cavite is
loca ted at Los Banos. a distance of
twenty-eight miles from the trans
mitting station, and connected thereto
by the familiar teiepragh land lines.
The actual functioning of the Cavite
transmitters for sending messages is
controlled by the operators at the Los
Banos station by utilizing the land teie-
graph wires for this purpose. and mes
saees are received from distant sta
tions at Los Banos at the same time
that messages are being transmitted

the Cavite station.
In addition to communicating di-
rectly with the United States. the Ca
vite station exchanges communica-
tiOns with the flagship Of the United
States Asiatic feet, with merchant
vessels. with the temporarily occupied
radio station at Vladivostok, in Sibe-
ria; with the station established
within the American legation COM
pound at Peking. China, and with the
stations at Guam and Honolulu.
1t Is not practicable to test the
effectiveness OF the Cavite station at

@ HOOPER. U. .. N.
Our most distant possession, the
Philippines, are separated from the
United States by the vast expanse Of
the north Pacific ocean, a distance of
some 5000 miles
Communications may be exchanged
by boat within an interval of sixty
days, by cable within six minutes
the time required to relay through
the intermediate cable stations at
Guam-and by radio within one-six-
tieth Of a minute, or. for all prac-
teal considerations, instantaneously.
The boat mail service is dependent
on weather conditions and maritime
hazards, the cable service is depen-
dent on single thfead of insulated
copper resting far down on the ocean
bed all the way from San Francisco
to Manila, whereas the radio service
is dependent only on the ether
which permeates all matter and all
space.
The boat mail service. barring pos
sible maritime accidents is reliable,
although admittedly slow.
The 6.000-mile length of copper
thread Is quite frequently broken
from one cause or another. and when
cable breaks occur the cable system
is placed imperative until the copper
thread Is mended by cable ship, the
service being interrupted meanwhiie
for several days at a stretch.
Radio the Only Dependence.
During such times the only avail
communications is >the Navy's trans
pacific high-power radio circuit,
which, in effect, connects the contf-
nent of Asia with that of North
America for communication purposes.
Should hostilities ever break out in
the Pacific between the United States
and a foreign power, this cable would
be promptly cut, but the ether as a
connecting link could mo- more be
severed than could the limitless at
mosphere.
The practical use made of radio for
telegraphic purposes and its value to
the nation is obvious from the fore
going.
1t enables our government to main
tain contact at all times with our in
sular officials, the War Department

We speak of instantaneous COM

Nevertheless, radio waves travel at

mately $4,000 miles per second.
Therefore, they may spread out from

The Protection Of Government

The grand ideas Of humanity, OF
the Importance of man as man, are
spreading silently, but surely. Even
the most abject portions of society
are visited by some dreams Of better
conditions for which they were de.
signed. The grand doctrine that every
human being should have a means Of
self-culture, Of progress in knowledge
and virtue; Of health, comfort, and
happiness; Of exercising the powers
and affection Of man, this is slowly
taking it's place as the highest social
truth. g. >s - Z
That the world was made for all,
and not for the few; that society is
to care for all; that no human being
shall perish but through his own
fault; that the great end Of the gov
ernment is to spread a shield over
the. rights of all-these propositions
are drawing into axioms and the
spirit Of them is coming. forth in all
the departments Of life.-William FL
