Mil and Oak Grove School with 100
Pupils Closed.
\ quarantine that has resulted in the
complete isolation of the Fort Dummer
section of Brattleboro and which has i'm
cludcd the closing of the Fort Dummer
cotton mill and the Oak Grove school,
was established yesterday by Health Off
Ger Chester S. Leach, following the
death of the four-months-old son Of Mr..
and Mrs. Edward LaFlam Of 4 Fort
Dummer avenue. The child, whose name
was Ernest, was taken violently i'll last
Friday morning at O'Clock and died at
noon the same day. In the meantime a
culture of the chiId's throat which was
taken by DR. Thomas Rice Friday morn
ing and which was sent to the state lab
oratory at Burlington was diagnosed as
diphtheria and Immediately telephone
message was received from Burlington
and steps were taken at once to quaran-
tine the whole district.
The child was taken Ill about two
weeks ago. the illness resulting in
slight operation which was performed
by Dr. Rice last week Monday For
child remained somewhat fidgety. but
nothing serious was observed until early
last Friday morning, when he suddenly
became violently i'll. DR.. Rice was
called at 6 o'clock that morning and
found that the infant had a temperature
of 103 and seemed in a dying condition.
4 slight discharge was observed coming
from one Of the nostrils and a culture
was Immediately taken and sent by Dr.
Rice 10 the state laboratory. The child

T%rapshooter Reilly
The Man

His deeds have made oil history.
The civilized world knows of the
life and exploits of E. A. TRAP
shooter Reilly. The Associated
Press, the United Press and Uni
versal Service have told time and
again of the mighty oil wells he has
drilled and the wonderful profits he
has made for those who were asso-
ciated with him.
The whole world knows of the
Trapshooter Oil Company which
'1Trapshooter" Reilly organized and
of which he was president. This
company owned what was consid-'
cred the most valuable oil property
in the world, a shareholder of which
made profits at the rate of from
$4,000 to $4,000 for 500 invested
and the whole world recognizes, too,
that the Trapshooter Oil Company
was 'Trapshooter'' Reilly.
He it was who located the we'll
for the Kentucky Company that re-
suited in the 4,000-barrel gusher on
the Wick lease in Stephens County,
in April, 1921, the first big producer
in the Ivan district.
He it was who secured the acre
age for the famous Cain No. / dis
covery we'll at Pierce Junction,
Texas, for the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Company, which resulted in one of
the greatest wells in the Gulf
coastal fields and opened UP an
other Spindletop in July, 1921.
His word is law and his opinions
are sacred with the officials of the
largest producing oil companies in
the Mid-C Continent field
His name and the famous profits
he has made for his shareholders
and associates have been used by
hundreds of oil men since as an ex-
ample. But not a one since that
time has ever come anywhere near
the record set by this mighty oil pro-
Queer.
'Trapshooter" Reilly has e
hundreds of others capitalizing on
his name but not living up to his
record.
What I have DONE" says this
mar who has made it possible for
his friends to make fortunes, Il be-
lieve l al do again-better."

Drawing (A) in the above illus
tration shows the connection of the
untuned circuit just mentioned. In
drawing OBJ are shown the connec-
lions of a single slide tuning coil cir
cult. The coil of wire in this connec-
tions of a single slide tuning circuit
les the operator by means of the
Slider, to increase or deere Use
thu number of turns of wire
in the coil which are con-
nected to the aerial and ground
terminals. A glance at drawing (C)
shows the effect the aneenna has on
the tuning coil other than that of in
tercepting the electromagnetic waves
of distant tranSmitterS. 1t is seen IN
Drawing (C) that the aerial and
ground have been replaced by tiXer
condenser. The capacity of this con-
denser represents the capacity the
aerial conductors have to the earth,
or ground, which constitutes the other
plate of the antenna-earth capacity
The air between the aerial and ground
is the dielectric. The inductance of
the tuning coil is thus seen to be con-
nected across a capacity which makes
possible the tuning of electromagne-
tic waves of anHfrequency within the
limits of the coil.
1t has previously been explained
that when alternating current was
flowing in a circuit containing Undue
lance (inductance reactance), and
capacity Capacity reactance), that
the effect of the inductance was to re-
tard or cause a tagging of the current
behind the force (voltage) which
causes it to flow; also that the effect
of capacity was the reverse of this,
that is, capacity tends to force the
current ahead or to lead the force
(voltage) causing the current to flow
This naturalization of reactance Is
tuning.
1t can clearly be stated now that
the adjustment of the inductance, OF
turns of wire on the coil, can be ma
