Better Homes Idea Backed By Harding

Chicago, April 14.-Presiden ent Harding has given his personal en- dorsement to the movement inaugu- rated by the American Homes Bureau for a national Better Homes Week. to be instituted next October as an annual event.
 Ut gives me special pleasure wrote ter from William B. Wreford ito record my endorsement and appro- val of the Better Homes Week IT may be trite. but it is eVerlaStingly true that the home is the corner stone of our civilization. Better homes, more attractive homes. homes whose occupa Rts will find true re- freshment and real inspiration to in creased efforts for education and which assure greatest stability to our institutions, greatest security 10 our society. l cannot but feel that the effort you are making is one which deserves a wider projection. and I would be glad if your example might presently be an inspiration to a nationwide enterprise of the same kind"
 The idea back of the Better Homes Week. movement is to edu- cate the American people to make the home beautiful and hereby ere ate a home environment that will have a lasting cultural influence up- on the nation. It is planned during the week set aside for the purpose to demonstrate in exposition and ex- hibits of model rooms and homes in country the facility with which even people of small means may make their homes harmonious and attrac- tive

 Newhuff and Phelps in their '"Tuneful Tales get away to a poor start but finish so far ahead of the field that they have to be recalled for encore after encore, thus easily winning all honors last evening. An act that can work an impassive audi ence up to the stage where it requires five curtain bows and two encores to appease it's clamor, surely can be nothing but excellent.
 A novelty act entitled "A Night in Paris is indeed a clever bit, showing what is almost unbelievable intelli- gence possessed by carefully trained canines. This again is another anil nal act that is strictly new to Bridge port and radically different than the usual in this line of amusement.
 Durham and O'Malley are also ex- captions when it comes to pleasing entertainment. An act replete with catchy songs and sung in an admir- able manner. accompanied in places with a skillfully strummed "uke.'
 Marion Davies in her new Para mount Picture The Brides Play is an instaneous hit and nothing but splendid" can express it. In "The Brides Play" Miss Davies gives a performance that is filled with charm The ancient folklore and legend of Ireland are the basis of this artistic protraiture of the role of Ai1een Bar rett, the dark haired, hlue-eyed, inno- cent Irish girl, who finds love only after great grief and trouble. Its just an Irish story filled with Celtic charm and romance. What more could one ask to be assured of a beautiful pie ture-except to insist that Miss Da- vies plays the leading role?

POli Review

It Is indeed an exceptionally pleas ing and harmonious bill at Polfs for the remainder of the week. Every act on the bill Is a headliner and ali one most precautions Is probably the Browne Sisters and their attending company of bathing beauties, but diff ferent, yes. far different from the hackneyed style of Bathing beauty acts that have been appearing for sodness knows how long, before the public. This bevy of girls possess talent as well as beauty. The Browne Sisters themselves are masters in ev- cry detail of the accordian and in a solo contest would make the famous Pietro look to his laureIs.

New York. April 14 - John Me CormaCk. noted tenor. who was stricken with an affIiction of the throat here last Saturday and whose illness became alarming on Wednes- day, was declared to have passed the crisis but he will not be able to sing again for several months. Physicians in attendance upon the singer assert ed the illness would not affect the quality of his voice as the infection was above the larnyx.
 All concert engagements made by MT. Mccormack have been cancelled and he has given up his plan to leave on May for a tour of Ireland and continental Europe. The illness was said today to have dated back to Feb. ,, when the tenor while filling a concert engagement at Minneapolis had a severe attack Of larnysttis. Since that time his condition has not been good.

Long Fight On Railways Is
 ReOpened

Washington, April 1.-The long fight against the railroads by the Midwest group of statesmen led by Senator LaF'ollette, Wisconsin, was re- opened in the House by Representa- tive J. Beck, of Wisconsin with a bill requiring the railroads to secure the approval of the Interstate Com 1nerce Commission before they can have repair or construction work done at leased or privately-owned gar shops.
 Backed by the LaFollete influ- en~e Beck defeated for reelection to Congress John J. Esch. one of the ffannerS of the Transportation act of 1920. which gave guarantees to the railroads of rates to meet expendi- lures a nd insure some profit on Cper- ntion. Beck made this law an issue In the election campaign, ffghting it become since his defeat a member os the interstate Commerce Csznmis- Sion.
 h discussing his btI to prevent railroads from farming out their re- peic work, Beck says.
 "Robbin& the People,
 The railroads are robbing the people of this country of hundreds cessive rares to pay the huge profits fnede by private contractors in doing l7el;air and construction york for the he amount to over $500, 1000, 900 year on Locomotives aEcne. What the pro- fits amount to on the other classes of work no doubt runs Into hundreds of millions.
 Tho safety of the travelling public Of freight in transit and of trainmen opera ting the trains demands that the railroads themselves do their own re- pair work, as we'll as their construc- tlcp work. The war has taught that the chief end of man with many contractors is to make money. They SSh hi foxa h est price possible for the work, by using an inferior grade of materials and by cheap workmanship Human life iH at stake in railroad operation, and their is no place in this industry fer either cheap materials or cheap vcYSnne rship.
 Widows and orphans are large in ves1ors in railroad securities That is what railroad officials tell us when they are seeking legislation at the hends of Congress. We can do mo- thing that will be of greater protec- @tion to these investors than to end this private contract system recently 5nansurated by the railroads
 ~Win Enable Cuts7
 able ne the ] Interstate ce conmerce ~ Com am mission to cut the freight and pas Seoger ratsS anywhere from 2S to 40 per cent, When this is done we can expect to return to normalcy, and we never wS& return to it until freight and passenger rates are reduced ma terialaS> The people demand lower ra reS, and they are going to have that right, and If they do not get It through legislation of this kind they will got it through public ownership
 I believe in the principle of coGec- tive bargaining, concluded Beck, The law as 1t now stands recognizes that principle in the railroad industry. By alarming out repair and construction work to privately owned or leased shops the railroads are able to evade the law and out wages at will and to impose upon the workers any oondi- tiona they See fit I believe tho rail- roads should be held to strict account alnfae- Sfne law"

Anything is a condenser that is used

than we can turn into electric current
when we want to use 1t.
But there's one very important diff.
ference to be borne in mind. While the
condenser does store up this energy, it
will not hold It indefinitely. It stores
and discharges and stores and dis
charges with almost incoDceivablc ra-

purposes, I'VE can say that 1t stores the

It would sound q lot simpler, but If you

What Is q "Condensef"?

| frst drop of water flowed through tue
drain nine. IL loosened q trigger WHICH
| let the whole bottom of the tank drop
| out, you would have better iilustra'
tion of an electrical condenser. -
Now, suppose you mad come sort %
system which operated by the torse ~
This sudden discharge of water. ~
supply pine would keep on running
and every time the supply reached cCV
gallons, the bottom would drop, tne
water would exhaust and the bottom
close up again ready TO fll once more.
This would operate only on 60O gal~
Ion supply. There would be no varra'
tion iu It.
Then il would be what we call
'fxcd condenser" Your phone. con-
denser is fixed. Your grid condenser
with an audion bulb Is fixed. some
times with certain hook .ups you have
fxed condcnsers in other parts of the
circuits. They operate when the en-.
ergy stored, in them reaches a certain
pre-. determined amount.
But we also have variable conden.
sers." which are Of great Importance
in tuning" TO get signal sharp and
clear and loud. Let US see what they
do.
Go bach to the illustration of the
tank. Suppose we had various kinds OF
machinery TO operate on various
amounts Of water. Then we would put
ated by a spigot so that We could open
anv one we wanted to. We might want
them in steps of 100 gallons each;
If we opened the top one, 1t would
operate the trigger when the supply
reached the original 500 gallons. If we
opened the next lower one, the bottom
would drop out of the tank when we had
400 gallons In, it. The next would give
US 800 gallon operation and the next
200 and so on. That would be q
"step variable" condenser-one oper-
ating on various set amounts but not
operating on any amounts IN between.
The condensers which you buy--the
twenty three plate and the forty three.
plate operated by knob--are "contin. .
uously variable" Suppose, instead Of
having the spigot arrangement on your
tank, the release or drain pipe came
right up through the bottom and that
we could raise it or lower it any amount
We wanted TO-. The tank would empty
as soon as the level Of the water reached
| the top OF the drain pipe.
But we can raise or lower the drain
| pipe with continuous motion by this
| arrangement and so we can run the ma.
! chinery on 500 gallons, or 435 gallons,
or twenty-three gallons, three quarts,
one pint and gill and half or any
other amount we choose.
That, then, is continuously variable
: condenser such as you all want. And
{ he wise amateur wh ia exper. .menting
with his own set will make a special
sacrifice and buy two Of them, for they
are mighty handy things to have and
cave a lot OF coil tapping when he
| wants to try a new hook.up that some
| one tells him about.
