While Prohibition is the most per-
picking problem Immediately before
the Administration. the moral attitude
which the President has defined has
extended already to other statues.
Members of the House Committee on
tho Judiciary recently had a discus
sion of the astonishing relaxation in
The public mind on the subject OF
perjury.
Perjury Held Less Serious.
IN the British law. where most o..
pur laws find their springs, perjury
WAC considered a very serious crime.
In this country. until recently. the
same opinion has been held. To
swear To a falsehood is heavily punish

rccoiled from the crime almost as
strongly as from murder. \ canvass

United States made In the discussion

one members f the Committee
pointed out what he regarded as a
curious moral twist in the minds of
modern perjurorS. They were. he
said. inclined TO regard perjury in

rather than a high moral crime. Per

court oath has come I'm the minds OF
many citizens. the members of the
committee discovered. TO mean moth
ing more than a matter If technical
court routine. The solemn function
of placing the right hand on the
Bible and pronouncing the oath has
degenerated in many cases into the
making of a gesture and the numb
ling of few words.
IL can readily be understood that
| the men who are charged with the
making and the enforcement of laws
are aghast at such development.
What the President and his advisors
fear is that this attitude gradually
will creep into the opinions of the
people regarding the who'c body of
law.
The favorite anecdote used by stu
dents of this curious situation Illus

A man was receiving a call from a

not" the bootlcgger replied. Don't
you know 1t is against the law to sell

If the 40 volts is maintained on the
plate and negative potential of E-O
is applied to the grid, 1t will reduce
the current to zero.
Suppose O-E represents five volts
1t can be seen then that change of
five volts in grid potential will accom-
plish the same result that 40 volts will
in the plate circuit The ratio Of
the voltage change in the plate cur
rent is called the factor of the tube
and is denoted by the letter "K"
In the tube just discussed the am
plificatiOn factor would be 40 divided
by five or eight. The amplification
factor of the tubes available for anna
teur use at present is usually between
4 and 10. The amplification factor is
a function Of the dimensions and rela-
tive positions of the elements in the
tube.
An incoming radio frequency al
ternating current applied to the grid
of a three7electrode vacuum tube is
not only rectified but the variation in
the plate is multiplied by "K,' the

Denver-Organizat of the San
Juan Development Company, $5,000,-
900 corporation, which proposes to
build railroad line from Durango to
Gallup, N. M, to connect with the San
ia Fe lines, was completed virtually
with the filing Of incorporation papers
with Secretary of State Milliken.
The total capitalization was stated
at $5,0000O0 preferred stock and 40,-
900 shares of common stock, having no
par value. Principal offices in Colo
RADIO will be maintained at Durango.
General offices outside the state will
be established at Los Angeles. The
business of the company will be con-
fined to Colorado, New Mexico and
Utah.
The names of the incorpOrators, who

VETERANS GHOST
SLUCS TRAINMAN f.
Resents His Picking Cherries
From Favorite Tree in His
toric Burial Ground.
NEIGHBORs IN PANIC
Cherry Tree Is Now Safe as Far an
This Particular Train Crew Is
concerned-Rump on Head
Too Real for Disbelief.

Dudley, n. C.-The ghost of Owen
Smith, Confederate veteran, long
dead, has risen from the grave in
which the body was buried in the
historic Slocumb burial grounds near
here.
Each night, several hours after dark
1t stalks about in the neighborhood Of
the graveyard, silent and stern as If
seeking some person who may have
wronged its earthly form during it's
lifetime. Residents, both white and
cOlored, are terrified. They are afraid
to leave their homes after dark for
any cause.
Near the grave OF the old soldier is
a May cherry tree said to have been
planted by him. And near this old
cherry tree is a watering station
where nearly all trains from Whining
ton, Del, to Goldsboro, S. c., stop to
fill their tanks. 1t has long been a
custom of members of the train crew
to help themselves to the trees fruit
while the water filed the tank.
Strange Attack.
Several nights ago train No. 81 ar
rived at the watering station about
10 p. m. as usual. One of the crew
hiked over to the tree in the darkness
to see if the cherries were ripe. Sud-
denly weird form reared up behind
him, and with some blunt instrument
knocked him unconscious. He lay there
for several minutes, and staggered
back to the engine just as the crew
was about to set out to find him.
TO them he told the story Of his
mysterious assault. So real was his
tale, and so obvious the bump IN his
head that none disbelieved him. The
cherries are now almost ripe, but

makes the three-electrOde vacuum the
most sensitive detector available.
In actual tubes the point "G' on the
characteristic curves as shown in Fig.
VIII and Fig. IX may not fall on such
point of the curve that symmetrical
changes in grid potential will cause
symmetrical change in plate current
starting with zero potential on the
grid.
1t then becomes necessary to apply
a constant potential to the grid by
means of battery in the grid cir
cult, called the "C'' battery, to main
tain the grid at such a point on the
characteristic curve that symmetrical
changes in grid potential will cause
the maximum symmetrical current to
flow in the plate circuit

Fire Destroys Tracks of D. & r. G..

Salt Lake City, Utah.-Damage esti-
mated from $150OO0 to 100000 was
caused when the viaduct crossing the
Denver & Rio Grande Western rail
roads tracks at Fifth West and Fourth
South streets was practically destroyed
by fire which is believed to have orig
mated from the sparks of locomotive
Two gondolas Immediately under the
viaduct fell prey to the flames, as did
also the acetylene gas welding plant Of
the railroad. Explosives were moved
from the plant just as the flames be-
gan to scorch the exterior.

RADIO DoN'Ts

Don't expect the circuit to os-
cillate with equal strength over
a great range if you tune the
grid circuit with capacity
alone. Keep the ratio of L to
G as near constant as possible
while tuning.
Don't expect a circuit to os-
cillate if the natural period of
the ticker circuit is equal to
the natural period Of the grid
circuit.
Don't place the ticker or
plate variometer tight against
the grid coil or a change in the
plate circuit will detune the grid
circuit.
Don't expect high impedance
tubes to oscillate freely in cir
cult designed for low impedance
tubes.
Don't discard a regenerative
receiver until you have tried
more than one detector tube.
Don't forget that soft gas
eous tube is the best detector,
and that a hard tube is the best
oscillator.
Don't treat inductance coils
with shellac or any other var
nlsh or compound that will alb
sorb moisture.

Mary SIocumb Buried There.
1t is believed that the old veteran
was so devoted to his farm and the
trees he planted that his spirit has at
last come to earth to protect one Of
his favorite trees from the ravages Of
the train crews.
In the same graveyard that has been
in use since Revolutionary days lies
buried Mary Slocumb, made famous in
American history as the young woman
who dreamed that she saw man
under tree near Moore's creek
where her husband was fighting with
the Americans against the British. Be
lieving that the man she saw in her
dream was her husband, Mrs. Slo-
cumb, leaving her six-months-Old boy at
home, mounted her pony and rode
away to Moore's Creek fifty miles
away Arriving in the neighborhood,
she found a man badly wounded as
she had seen in her dream She bound
up his wounds, thereby saving his
life Her husband arrived on the
scene and was surprised at her being
there until she told him of her dream.

Atlanta Chosen for kiwanis Convention

Toronto, Ontario.-Atlanta, Ca, was
chosen as the site for the next conven-
ton Of the Kiwanis international at
the convention of Kiwanis clubs now
in progress here. The claims of Den
yer for the convention for 1923 were
most favorably received, but owing TO
the fact that Atlanta put up strong
fight last year and again sought the
convention, the delegates decided to
go to the Georgia city in 1923, with ev-
cry indication that Denver will get the
convention in 1924.
