REGENT EVENTS IN THE PUNJAB


 From 'Non-v Violent Non Incorporation
 in India" by Gertrude Emerson, In
 Asia Magazine.
 The question of the loyalty of the army is, of course, of the utmost sig- nificance from the point of view of maintaining order In India With what success the non-co- opera tors have been able to pursue their tactics of attempting to seduce the sepoy has hitherto been kept jealously guard ed secret.
 Bands of Congress volunteers have been perambulating tthe Punjob, armed with iron-shod staves distrib- uting leaflets which urge the sepoy to mutiny, and subjecting both the sepoys on leave and their families to various indignities from which the British have been unable to protect them. Recently a danger signal has been flown. insignificant in itself in the news coming to light of small breaches in discipline among two reg iments with distinguished war rec ords. the Fourteenth Sikhs and the Nineteenth Punjabis.
 In connection with the general situ- ation in the Punjab, the most recent news is contained in the issuing of a manifesto by 51 prominent public men, not non-co-operators. protesting against the attitude and the policy of the Punjab government in handling the situation. Coincident with the departure of the Prince of Wales wholesale arrests have been effected Ii has been reported that between the middle of March and the end of3April from 5000 to 2.500 arrests have been made, of which SO per cent are Sikhs. It is maintained that many of these arrests have been made in connection with participation in purely religious meetings. The Punjah lawyers have issued an tndspsndent pretest, declar-

GOOD CHANCE NOW ]
 FOR RADIO IDEAS
Better Field Than Ever for Boy With Inventive
 Disposition

You young amateur bugs who started in the game year or so ago no doubt thought. as nearly all do as they begin to become inter- ested In radio, that you would bring out some wonderful invention, in connection with wireless and that all of your troubles would be over forever for you would, almost cyer- night. become immensely wealthy.
 Then. as more and more people became interested, as in the past few months, you possibly lost hope of ever being the great inventor you had hoped to be and just about de- cided to abandon the idea. Then, when the new Armstrong super regenerative hook up was published, a short time ago, about all of your hope left you for you imagined that some one else had beaten you to everything in connection with this wonder of the age.
 Young fellows. you are all wrong. Radio is just beginning to be de- veloped You have better chance now than ever before. Don't give up. New ideas are needed and you may be the very fellow to perfect it. Don [ tnlnk you are 100 young e1th- CT. Wireless has been brought to it's present stage by young men. Marconi was in his teens when his first important investigations took place. Armstrong. whom we prob ably refer to more than any of the others. was In college when he was doing most with wireless and Is still quite a young man. The field Is open to you.
 Some sytem must be developed to prevent receiving stations radiating c. W. waves and interfering with adjacent stations. Radio frequency has not been practical for short waves and it's perfection will elimi- nate aeriafs Static is still with us. This must be eliminated. A sys- tenn to use 110 A, c. for the fila ment and plate of a receiving set, without much cost, would be a great step forward Your chance today Is better than ever before. If you have any ideas. work on them. Don't fall to try them out You may be the very fellow who is going to do much for the further advancement of radio.

PLANS TOCONTROL
 ALL BROADCAST|NG
New Orleans ManHas Scheme
 to Prevent Duplication of Effort

No doubt many of you are won- dering if radio is going to keep up at the rate 1t Is going now. Radio broadcasting is growing at an un- bolisvable speed. There are now twice as many broadcasting stations as there were two months ago Without doubt if this keeps up a little longer there will bs such a confusion that no benefit can be ob- tained from any of these stations as there will be too many sending at the same time.
 The first real movement to remedy this cofning fate of radio concerts has just been acted upon. Max N. Kohler. vice president and general ..l..iiager of the Dixie Laundry com pany, Tulane avenue and Elks Place, New Orleans. La. is the originator of the idea. MT. Kohler Is now ac- lively engaged in the formulation of plans for this association to be known as the National Cooperative Radio Society.
 It Is to be understood that this society is not to be profit making one. All of its income, resources and benefits are to be dedicated to the developing of the system of broadcasting
 Several men of affairs have gone into the details of the views of this association and met with immediate favor.
 As acting treasurer of the society, Mir. Kohler has had himself bonded with the American Surety company of New York In the sum of s50,000 the liability of which became affect i've July 1.
 The general plan and view of the society is as follows
 l. The organization is to be per- fected as quickly as possible the name of which Is to be The Na- tional Cooperative Radio Society" It is to be understood that this or ganization Is not to be for financial gain.
 2. Membership or memberships are available to any individual or firm who may be interested in the well fare of radio telephony.
 3. The objects of the national so- ciety are to effect a national conn munity of interest among parties who are now interested or may hereafter become interested fin ra- dio telephony.

TYPEWRITER AIDS SPEED

Speed in typewriting should be considerably increased by the use of a newly developed machine that has, besides & single-shift standard key board, a set of 22 keys. each of which will write a whole word with one stroke. The words selected are those of most frequent occurrence, and all are of one syllable. On the machine. which is shown and de- scribed in the Popular Mechanics Magazine, Is an escapement lock that makes 1t possible to write In any direction.

FABRIC VENTILATION TUBING From the Popular Mechanics Maga-

zine.
 For carrying ventilating air Into mines, fabric tubing has many marked advantages over metal pipe, the great objection to It's use being It's rapid deterioration. A fabric tubing has now been placed on the market, which, after a seven n-months test In a mine where the temperature was high and the dripping of acid mine water excessive, Is still in good condition. Other samples of tubing, in use in underground moro than two years. are still delivering fir and are In good working order.

THOUSANDS PAY
 SILENT TRIBUTE

The unseen audience of thousands stood by,' in reverence on the night of July II, just after the shock of The Age Herald editors sudden death had spread through the coun- try. The program of W Y, (the radiophone broadcasting station of the Alabama Power company was discontinued for moment and everyone was asked to remain in perfect silence as tribute to the one who had passed away. Thousands throughout this part of the country were silent at the same time to show their respect for the departed one. wsY has received the following letter:

 Dear sirs. I stood by" last night as you paid the tribute of silence to your departed, and when the still ness was broken by that sad, beau tiful voice. singing God Be With You Till We Meet Again" the words came in so sweet and clear that 1t seemed that the whole host of heav- en had taken up the refrain.
 Your whole program was excep- tionally good, and came in very clearly. Your operation was almost perfeot and you must have been heard over the whole United States. Congratulations, yours very truly, W. H. LEE.

There seems to be no con trol for the noise, as I have tried everything I can think of. Can you supply me with little information on same, in the hope of enabling me to avoid these noises? F. W. G.
 A. If you are sure that the noises are not caused by adjustments would suggest the probability is that your "B" batteries are noisy. as the result of loose internal connections This sometimes happens. and the only remedy for it is new set of "B" batteries. I also should sug- gest that you try changing the tubes around in their sockets. This some times helps. Are you sure that all of your connections, on the back of

 am not very familiar with loops. In fact, this will be the first have ever used. Does positive of last "A" bat tery in diagram connect right? It appears to me to lead into negative of first two tubes. Can I buy choke and filter coils complete of right ca pacities?--J. F. P.
 A. Coil LA can be the hoheycomb coll of requisite number of turns to give you a total inductance of 10 milli-henries. Coll L6 is the regula- tion iron core choke coil used in tele- phone work for the purpose of a fil- tut HI Ac6 diai itPcdltI clTtuilS. l think that you will be able to get one from any house dealing in regular telephone supplies, but be sure that 1t has the correct amount of induct- ance. You can try three of the 23- plate condensers in the places where the variable condensers are shown. but I do not think that they will have sufficient capacity. and you may have to shunt fixed condensers around them. However, you can try them out first in connection with the vario- coupler. What was meant by the story was that the rotor should have approximately twice as many turns as it now has. 1 imagine that your rotor has about 50 turns In that case l would suggest that you make 1t 100. Bank winding will do. There is only one "A" battery shown in the diagram. What you probably have mistaken for an "A" battery on the last tube Is the "C" battery. This is 22h volt battery, the negative of which Is connected to the grid of the third tube. With regard to the loop: The two wires from the loop aerial are joined to the ends of the primary winding of your vario- coupler. The variable condenser, which is joined across the primary of the vario-coupler, acts as a tuning element for the loop aerial

 What Is Ticiiers
 Q. l. With reference to the dia ] gram of connections of the regenerl ative receiver with two-step ampli- fer, please give me the electrical values of the apparatus. In other words. to assist me in buying parts intelligently. 9 What is a tickler? !? 3. What Is the difference between tvario- meter and vario- coupler? 4 When diagram calls for VT detec- tor would a UV detector answer, or is there difference? The radio parts catalogue that have lists Radio- tron UV 200 detectors and Radiotron UV POI amplifier oscillaters. P. M. E.
 A. 1. The apparatus used in the regenerative receiver depends en- tirely upon the purpose for which the receiver is to be used, For short wave reception of broadcast entertainment this should have maximum range of anywhere from 150 to 800 meters. 2. The tickler is the coil of wire that Is placed in an inductive relationship to the pri- mary and secondary circuits of the receiving set. The ticker itself is In the plate circuit of the vacuum tube and affords a feedhack system that gives regeneration. Since this lam guage, however, is of too technical a character, can perhaps better explain the function of the tickler coil by pointing out what happens when you take the receiver off the telephone hook during the time that your bell is ringing and then place the receiver up to the mouth of the telephone transmitter: The receiver is recording the ringing of the bell; it transfers this to the transmitter

will Repeal Kansas
| ''Can't-Strike" Law
(By Federated Press)

Lawrence, Kansas - Jonathan M.
Davis, governor-elect announces his
first official action will be move for
the repeal of the law creating the
court of industrial relations, better
known among labor men as the "can't-
strike" law.
'"rhe first thing | intend to do as
governor is to bring about the repeal
of the industrial court law" says
Davis. "It has been unfair and un-
just and there is no room or need for
it in Kansas. There have been only
a few cases before it and none of them
have been settled satisfactorily.
"This state needs officers who will
arrest the wealthy man as we'll as the
poor man." Davis continues. "and then
the public will respect the officers and
laws will be obeyed. Obnoxious laws
cannot exist as long as | am governor
of Kansas; the industrial court law
is one of them.
"The working man wishes a just
and fair deal and a man in the state
house who will not be underhanded in
any dealings and will not be a party
to any of those crafty political games
that have been going on at Topeka,
