legged Threat.

Testimony against John Melhop,
lrn secretary-treasurer OF the Ne
braska lowa-Minnesota Wholesale
Grocers' association, was given by
Robert +. Smith OF the Bradley
Merriam-Smith company, mail
order house, 10 the federal trade
commission, yesterday.
Smith testified that Melhop pro-
tested against the change OF the
Bradley company in 1914 from 4
farm implement house TO one carry
ing grocery lines.
"tIe said they would get u.s."
Smith declared. That we shouldn't
have engaged in the grocery busi-
ness; that they knew who we dealt
with and they would put a stop to
it."
Denies Statement Was Joke.
Smith denied there was any joke
to Melhop's statement.
There was considerable animus
in Melhop's words when he said it.;
that was threat to ruin my busi-
ness, onlitn reiterated.
Most OF the local brokers refused
to sell him because, they said, the
wholesale grocers would object,
Smith testified. He said this con-
dition still continues, though a few
brokers here and there and some in
other cities sell him.
The Meinrath Brokerage COM
pany explained they could not sell
to me because they were selling reg
ular wholesalers. Mr.. Patrick OF
the Russell brokerage said he would
not sell TO me unless compelled to.
Others assigned no reason at all"
Emmett Tinley, counsel for the
Nebraska-Iowa association. then
asked Smith to tell who the local
brokers were who did sell him.
This Smith refused to answer on
the grounds that it would iniure both
him and the friendly brokers.

IF l divulge the names of those
who have favored DC in the presence
of this audience OF wholesale groc-
ers and brokers who have refused
to sell to me, they may bring pres
sure to bear on them that will hurt
both them and me- Smith protested.
"If any pressure is going to be
brought to bear, that may be peril
nent to this inquiry" interposed the
presiding examiner, E. NJ. Averill,

But Smith stood on his rights not
to reply until he had consulted an
attorney, so the answer was tempo

company, one of the complaining
witnesses.
"All sugar business was specula.
Cullen, who was on the stand.
He denied Tinley's allegation Of
"shuttlecock" sugar transactions-a
policy of selling, rebuying and re-
selling carloads of sugar on rising
market.

own jobbers, Mr.. Tinley-always

IDEAS" said Cullen.
He stated that his company did
buy back several cars OF sugar from

Fifteen Minutes of Radio Each Day
By EDWARD N. DAVIS
Formerly Technical Electrical Expert for u s. Government
By EDWARD N. DAVIS

Electric waves radiated in all d.
rections from the aerial of the trans
hitting station are intercepted by
receiving antennae but continue with
practically undiminished energy:
Powerful transmitting stations used
in transoceanic communications have
aerials so designed and geographi-
cally located as to the strongest
waves in the direction of the receiv-
ing stations with which cOmmunica-
ton is carried on.
The Coil Aerial
The coil aerial has valuable direc-
tional properties both in the trans
mission and reception of electric
waves. 1t may be used as direction
finder and is capable of receiving
signals from long distances when
connected to very sensitive ampll-
fiers.
Static Electricity
The interference of static charges
of electricity with sensitive receiving
sets is often so pronounced during
the warm summer months as to en-
tirely prevent the reception Of radio
signals Small static charges accum-
ulate into a gigantic charge which
breaks down the gap between cloud
and ground and results in the light
ming flash with its millions Of volts
potential.

arena were so high that none OF the
ions could jump out. The first flash
of the picture, showing the crowd
running away from the lions, was
secured without difficulty. The lions
we're unable to actually reach the
crowd because each of them had been
carefully secured beforehand with a
arness attached to invisible wires
so that they could not go $50 feet
toward the crowd, and experienced
ion tanners saw that none of the
supers were left within reach of the
ions.

ercises the important function OF rec
tifving oscillations of radio fire.
ouency which have been intercepted
by the antenna and lnductlvely I'M
pressed upon the secondary circuit.
The grid element in the tube, through
its control of the electron flow be-
tween filament and plate, causes a
fluctuation of the plate current and
consequent variation of the telephone
current which results into the recep-
ton of audible signals.
Electric Wave Generation
Electric waves may be divided into
two classes: continuous or undamped
waves of constant amplitude, and
discontinuous or damped waves
whose oscillations have decreasing
amplitude. The wave length may be
expressed as the distance between
the points of two successive waves
where the energy is at maximum
or a minimum.
Suark Discharge
A spark discharge in the closed
oscillatory circuit of a spark trans
mitter sets up radio-frequency Oscil-
lations of decreasing amplitude,
When the condenser alternately
charges and discharges across the
spark gap, the resultant group of
oscillations is damped by the extrac-
ton of energy. A minimum number
of % complete oscillations is neces-
sary for single spark discharge in
order to conform to the Government
regulations.

Great Lien Scene
Without Accident

If YOU have never met lion upon
intimate social terms-that is, close
enough to shake his paw and pat his
name, or something of that kind
how would you like to be suddenly
placed inside q cage, showed up close
among lions by long pole, and then
compelled to turn the crank of the
camera while the lions try to get at
you?
That is precisely what happened to
some of the photographers IN sunny

The lion scene spectacle, Theodore,
which Goldwyn presents at Richmond

In this case, the usual situation re-
garding lions is reversed, instead
of the lions being in the cages, the
men were. The cages used were the
actual steel cage ordinarily used to
imprson the lions, and they were
on wheels. Four wires stretched
across the arena and manipulated by
the director general of the big spec
tacle, CarlUcci, transported the cages
with the moving picture operators in
side Of them, in various directions
so they could get clos to the lions
Ihere was no time to equip the cages
with motors, so they could be operat-
ted as automobiles, and hence the eX-

operators inside, by wires, was adopt
