New Apparatus and Devices

THE VOCAROLA.

Among the many devices available
for reproducing the radio concerts
with large sound volume the voca-
rola occupies a prominent place. Like
many very efficient devices. it is quite
simple The horn itself Is of metal,
shaped somewhat like an automobile
horn, and has metal screen over the
large opening. The horn is mounted
upon a metal base. which can be hung
on the wall or mounted in any other
suitable place.
The horn does not, of course, give
the blasts of sound tina. an automo-
bile horn does. Instead. a very in
teresting telephone receiver is con-
nected to the small end so that the
strains of music or the words of the
speeches are reproduced and sent
through the horn to the listeners
without distortion. This telephone
receiver has a corrugated diaphragm
of metal, which accounts for the
agreeable lack of distortion, at least
in some measure. 1t is very ruggedly
constructed and will not get out of
order as quickly as a delicate mech
anism. And yet it puts out sound in
large volume.
The vocarola is connected to a one
or. preferably, two stage amplifier
by means of a cord and plug in the
usual manner. The cord is sufficiently

Over in Baltimore hundreds OF
school children are pondering over
this question. The Baltimore Sun has
offered to bring to the National Cap
ital on a picnic trip the twenty chill
dren who write the best answers to
the question.

timore children some good tips. but
1t wouldn't be fair. They have beau

tiful monuments. just like those in
Baltimore. But they must be seen to
be appreciated. And they believe that
the Baltimore children could better
answer the question after their visit
The twenty children-ten boys and
an equal number Of girls-will come
to the National Capital on a special
car in the near future. The Zoo will
be the first point Of attack. for the
children will have in their pockets
$500 which has been raised to pur-
chase animals for the Druid Hill Zoo
in the Monumental city. They do not
plan to take any Of the animals away
from the Washington Zoo. but they
do expect to decide which animals
they want to buy.

The back pressure of the condenser

there are opposing pressures. the cur
rent will not rise and fall in step
with the applied pressure. but will
attain it's maximum value In each
direction before the pressure. The
current is then said to lead the
pressure. Also, since the current does
not rise and fall in step with the
pressure changes there must be an
effective resistance caused by thet
condenser This effective resistance
does not choke back the current. but
assists it. If vs>call the effective
resistance in this case "reactance" 1t
is seen that the reactance under con-
sideration has just the opposite ef-
feet of inductive reactance. We can
call it "capacitive reactance." Capacf-
tive reactance may then be used to
nullify the effect of inductive reac-
tance in an alternating current cirs
cult. In the case of inductive reac-
tance an increase of reactance means
a decrease of current, providing the
applied pressure remains constant.
An increase of capacitive reactance,
however, causes an increase of cur
rent under the same conditions.
Capacitive reactance decreases with
an increase of either condenser ca
pacity or frequency. The converse Is
actance increases with decrease OF
either condenser capacity or fire.

CANCELLATION OF WAR
DEBTS

There will be no general cam
collation. Of international war
debts, so far as the United states
government is concerned, If 1t
has to be predicated upon cancel
lation of Europe's debt to this
country, according to a high and
responsible official Of the treas
ury.
The feeling In Washington Of
ficial circles is said to be that II
cancellation is to be at all, IT
should be considered in the inter-
est of humanity of economic SAN
ity. and not to enable the Euro
pean countries to build up and
maintain powerful military ma
chimes. So far Europe has shown
little or no disposition to cease
preparing for war.
1t was only recently that Pre-
mier Lloyd George Of Great Brl-
tain called attention to the prep
arations for war now going on
in Europe. He said: Keep your
eve on what is happening. They
(the nations of Europe) are con-
structing more terrible machines
than even the late war ever saw.
What for? Not for peace. What
are they for? They are not even
to dispense armies; they are to
attack cities unarmed, where you
have defenseless populations to
kill, to MAIN to poison, to multi
ate. to burn helpless women and
children"
United states experts are OF the
opinion that Europe should set
its own house in order by reduc-
ing ornaments and effecting 9TH
err financial economies needed TO
balance their budgets. Officials
of the government believe that If
the European governments would
make bona fide effort all around
to balance their budgets they
would be able to pay their debts
to this country on an equitable
refunding basis.

MOTOR EDUCATION

The alarming rate at which
deaths due to motor accidents are
increasing make it plain that
nothing but concerted action can
control the evil. A recent survey
of New York city shows that out
OF 234 accidents which occurred
in a single month, "a were due to
careless driving on city streets. 1t
is a depressing fact that of these
fifty were children.
The same dangers Turk in ev-
cry city. and in lesser degree IN
every town and country road. For
the highway accident situation IN
general, there is but one remedy
education. Three classes OF per
sons should be affected by such
education: parents, children, and
those who drive machines.
People need to know the fat-
fic laws, and further, they should
be put constantly on their guard.
A development Of the sense Oh
courtesy can do much to obVlate
the danger of smashups. When
caution becomes the rule rather
than the exception, the country
need not give up each year us
needless toll of lives through
motor accidents.

ADDRESS CAREFULLY

There is in this country no pub
lie undertaking more vast or more
vital than the United States post
office. This great organization
reaches daily into our lives. and
millions of citizens throughout

We have come to accept the
workings of this great machlne
as complacently as We accept the

1T as an impersonal thing in the
operation of which the individual
citizen plays almost no part
wholly unforgetful Of the fact that
the most trivial letter or postcard
message gets as much attention
from postal employees as does the
letter which conveys the most
important tidings. We write a
letter and drop 1t absent-minded-
Nv into the box without ques-
tion as to whether it will get to
its destination.
There can't be anything I'M
personal in an organization ike
that. 1t ( is our attitude that Is
impersonal and needs attention
One moments reflection on how
elaborate and vast our postal
system is would make us marvel
at it's efficiency. Following that
moments reflection we should
dedicate another one to the
thought Of how much could be
accomplished if those of us who
write letters were more careful
in directing them.
From recent statement OF the
Emitted States postoffice we learn
that 2o,O0O,000 letters go astray
each wear and reach the dead let
fer office. In addition to this II
must be remembered that mil
lions of letters wrongly addressed
finally reach their destination
through the patience and inge-
nuity of postal employees. The sum
total is useless work which peo-
ME make for the department by
addressing their letters carelessly

and energy of postoffice Stairs
