Acknowledgement Was
Mere Compliment
Listen TO this fellow. His acknow-
Judgement of God was nothing more
nor less than mere compliment. His
freedom fro sin was nothing for him
to boast about. He practiced his
duty as he went to the synagogue but
the practicing of those duties simply
afforded him the chance to publicly
crafty his vanity, not to get on his
knees and be decent, and serve God.
And SO a lot of people go to church
and do no more than crafty their van
ity, to show off their hats and their
clothes. They don't go to hear any
thing to make them decent and if
they did, they wouldn't be any diff
ferent from what they are SO they
join the church with no higher mo-
tive than yeeg cracks safe.
He talked about his good deeds,
He said, Il fast twice a week"
Ha, Ha! Gosh, He was a better
man than the Lord wanted him to be.
Ii you will read the sixteenth chapter
of Leviticus, if you will read the
{ my I'LL anu lily -lIIlH ClldpltIS vi
Isaiah, you will find that God asked
the Jew to fast once year-that was
on the great day of atonement, com
memorating the passing over of the
destroying angel throughout the land
of Egypt when God set them free from
i the slavery and serfdom of old Phar-
aoh where they used TO bare their
backs and make bricks without straw

Jew any of those things. God sent
Moses to deliver them from the bond
age where they'd been ever since
they'd sold Joseph into bondage down
there. Now. if you will read. you
will find that God only asks the Jew
to fast once "a year. This fellow
came around and blew. He said q
fast twice a week"
Well, there are fifty-two weeks in
f., the year; twice fifty-two is a hundred
and four, so God owed him for a hun
dred and three fasts.
So, it makes all the difference in
the world whether you feel you owe
God something or whether you fee

ASTORIA SUFFERS FROM :c:..E.

Astoria. Oregon, suffered very
disastrous fire Friday last. According
to dispatches some "a blocks in the
heart of the business section were
burned over. and "a blocks in a city
the size of Astoria means that. the
greater portion of the city is wiped
out. Astoria, on the south shore and
near the mouth of the Columbia river,
Is peculiarly constructed. That is, the
foundation upon which most of the
city is built is different from that of
the ordinary municipality, for Astoria
has been built largely upon piling,
encroaching upon the river for space
upon which to build. Forty years ago,
steaming up to the wharf, one could
see far under the piling upon which,
in those days, the frame buildings
and streets rested. The water front in
those days was not attractive to look
upon, as the buildings were dingy and
dilapidated and the board streets look
ed as though they were but temporary
make shifts. But years worked great
change in the appearance Of the place
and 1t became city pleasing to the
rye with very substantial and flour
ishing appearance, as many large
brick and concrete buildings had
taken the place Of the flimsey frame
of earlier days, the streets were paved

and the excellent wharves were a
scene of bustling activity. A visitor in
recent times would imagine that the
city was built upon solid founda-
ton, and would little dream Of the
venice-like appearance OF the place
in the early stages Of its existence.
But it was the presence of those
piling that made the late fire SO diff
cult to combat and which was the
source of carrying the flames for
long distances. For the vacancy under
the city had never been wnolly filled

press reports after the underpinning

leaving great gaps where houses and
streets fOrmedly stood. The loss is
estimated as between $12,OOO,00O and
Sic, 100000. Undoubtedly the city will
be rebuilt, as past experiences have
gone to prove that American cities
once destroyed by fire or earthquake
arise again Phoenix-like, and grow
to be larger and better than ever,
although it is drastic means of
bringing about improvement in any
|community.
Astoria is one Of the oldest towns
in the northwest, the Astor Fur COM
pany establishing a trading station
at that point over 100 years ago. Its
growth was slow Notwithstanding its
admiral location and 1t was not until
within comparatively recent years
that it took on the dignity of city.
But it had become the second city in
size in commerce, industry and mar

According to the later reports some
$500 people were made homeless by
the fire. With the magnificent gene
rosity that always responds to the
call for help in this country, all the
cities Of the coast are forwarding
supplies to the stricken city and Of
fering financial assistance to the
many firms and individuals who lost
their all in the flames.

THE HOME RADIO
XXI. TRANSMISSION OR SENDING

I have already described the differ
ence between Interrupted waves and
continuous waves and how the human
by the ordinary interrupted waves Of
wireless telegraph sender would be
broken up and unintelligible. | have
also explained how continuous waves
are capable Of carrying such sounds
without breaking them up; but while
sounds Of voices. music, etc.. cannot be
properly transmitted over an inter-
rupted wave yet code signals or alter
nate dots and dashes may be trans
mitted over continuous waves by
means Of instruments which break or
interrupt such waves, SO that a radio
phone may be used to send both tele-
graphic and telephone messages and a
radio telephone receiver will receive
both.
The principal item and most essen
tial part Of the sending or transmits
sion apparatus, known as the radio
phone, is the device by which the con-
tinuOus waves are produced. The In
strument which was first devised for
this purpose was an ordinary arc
light. but this has now given place to
a device known as vacuum-tube oscil-
latOr which Is similar to an ordinary
lncaudescent light with specially pre-
pared filament and other devices. The
operation of the arc-light was as fol-
lows: If n condenser and inductance
coil are shunted across the current to
such a light, the current Is lessened as
the condenser is charged and the pO-
tentiai difference across the arc In
creased. This still further charges the
condenser which discharges through
the coil and again becomes charged
In the reverse direction. the whole
operation being repeated over and over
again with extreme rapidity-as many
as one million discharges a second
being usual. Diagrammatically this
arrangement Is shown In Fig. SO, in
which A represents the aerial, B the
ground, G the coil, D the telephone
receiver. e the condenser. f the light,
G the dynamo or other source OF
electricity. The vacuum-tube on the
other hand, acts In very different
manner. When this IL charged with
electricity the filament discharges an
immense number Of electrOns upon q
plate with incalcu'able rapidity Fig.
81, and this. by means Of various ap-
planes, produces the oscil'atlng cur
rents Of extremely high frequency, or
continuous waves. Unlike the arc
light. moreover, the vacuum tube Ii
employed In receiving. the incoming
waves varying the current through
the fllament and 40 altering the flow
Of electrons, thus Transforming the
vacuum-tube from an oscillator TO a

II must not be supposed, however,
that an oscillator. a condenser. coil
and an aerial and ground are all
that are necessary In order to send
wireless telephone messages. In ad-
ditiOn. there are numerous appliances
TOR tuning or adjusting wave lengths,
modulating, simplifying and other
purposes and in a large station these
are very complicated and powerful.
For example, the Westinghouse sta
ton at Newark uses Ave $50 watt
tubes-twO being used as Osc!llators
and three as mOdulators-and which
work In conjunction with two nifty
watt speech ampliHers. The current
used In lighting Is ten volt A. C.
with ilve amperes Of radiation. For
sending the sounds, micrOphones are
used and to maintain an even cool
temperature on the tubes a rotary
fan is employed. In this station the
coil or inductance is a fiat or pancake
helix wound with half-inch copper rib.
bon while special motor generator
furnishes a 1900 volt current for the
plate. The aerial Is Of the multiple
tuned type Of six 15O-foot wires at a
height of 21O. feet above the ground
with a counterpotse Of twelve wires
on thirty foot spreaders twenty feet
above the roof and below the aerial
As a lead-in, ten wire cage on hoops
two inches In diameter Is used.
This. however, Is one Of the largest
and most powerful stations in the
world and for amateurs nothing 80
complete, 80 large or 80 powerful Is
ever required. For ordinary purposes. a
very small sending set Is all that Is
necessary and even for the smallest a
license Is required. for while there Is
no objection to any one operating a
receiving set and listening-in to any
thing that Is In the air. multitude
Of signals and sounds being sent Is
great nuisance and lnterferes with
every legitimate sending station by
confusing the sounds and creating In.
references. In fact. the greatest
trouble In receiving Is interference
and II IL far more difficult to tune out
the weak waves from nearby amateur
sending instruments than to tune to
the desired signals from the large
stations.
Also, 1t is far more difficult to con-
struct and set up a transmitting SET
than q receiving set and hence | ad
wise all amateurs to leave the sending
alone. or else make no attempt to in
stall or use a transmitting set until
thoroughly familiar with the subject
and no longer an amateur. But as no
book on wireless telephony would be
considered complete without descrip.
ton and Instructions as to higgins

lions and figures are given.

better. There is every reason to expect
that the wave of prosperity that has
touched all the towns down the valley
will reach its highest point at tais
place and Oroville enjoy such a
revival as it has never before exper-
fenced. 1t is up to our citizens to join
together in fostering every enterprise
that will contribute to the betterment
of the town. The opportunities will be
presented and We must take advant-
age of every opportunity. The new
year OF 1923 is going to be a banner
one for this place. 1t looks good to
us. Just sit tight, don't fight and
everything will come out all right.

woman paid the penalty Of her rash
ness with her life. 1t seems strange be-
yond understanding why people will
persist in using such volitle inflamma-
BILE liquid as an aid to hasten the start
ing OF fires. Almost daily the press pub
fishes accounts of death, from the
use Of coal oil as fire starters, yet
people will not learn caution from
those tragedies.
