experiment 1t has been found that the
received energy Is the same for a
single wire as for multi-Wire anten-
M, unless the spacing between the
wires is very great. The greatest adj
vantage of a single-wire antenna is
mechanical. 1t is much simpler to
erect due to the absence Of spreaders,
and it will withstand severe storms
which would tear down multi-Wlre
antenna with the same supports
Not all the energy induced In a re-
ceiving antenna by the wave produced
by the transmitting station Is useful.
Part of the energy is reradiated, part
is lost due to the resistance of the an
tenna conductors, part is lost due to
the eddy currents produced IN neigh
boring non-conducting material, and
part is lost by leakage around the an
tenna insulators. All Of these losses
can be reduced to minimum by prop
erly locating and erecting an antenna-
The losses due to eddy currents can
be reduced by erecting the antenna
so that it will not be near any objects
such as houses, barns, trees, etc. The
resistance loss can be reduced by us
ing heavy conductor Of low high
frequency resistance such as stranded
phosphor bronze cable Good, long
insulators with plenty Of surface
creepage distance will minimize in
sulator leakage. Just as much care
should be taken in bringing in the
lead-in as in erecting the antenna.
Don't run the lead-in close to wall
for any great distance.
1t is always desirable to have an
antenna just as high as possible, not
only to receive the maximum amount
of energy, but also to prevent shield
ing. If an antenna is erected on q
site surrounded by high buildings con-
tanning conducting material, the build
ings will shield the antenna electrical
ly. That is, the energy Is absorbed by
the buildings and little is left for the
antenna. Sometimes an antenna Is

FURTHER ADVICE ON
PUTTING UP ANTENNA
Two Types of Counterpoise De.
scribed-Energy Losses Min
imized by Proper Location.

1t has been stated in previous ar
ticles that an antenna system consists
of so.called aerial and a ground. In
certain forms the ground is also known
as counterpoise.
Sometimes counterpOise is made
up in a form similar to the aerial and
Is suspended beneath it. To a certain
extent this is true Of the counterpoise
used on airplanes, which is made up
Of all the metal parts Of the plane.
When the earth is dry or rocky, and
consequently poor conductor of cleo
tricity, a counterpoise consisting of
network Of wires is laid on the ground
and directly underneath the horizontal
part Of the antenna. If it is desired to
install this form of counterpoise the
metallic surface of the counterpoise
must be at least equal to that Of an
tenna, and for efficient operation,
should even be greater than the an
tenna surface. Also the resistance of
the counterpoise should be made as
low as possible in order to eliminate
the losses that otherwise would take
place in it. A counterpoise Of the form
described is illustrated in Figure ii.
When the ground underneath an
antenna is good conductor, that is to
say, Is soft and moist, the earth itself

ner that reception from one particular
direction is impossible.
Keep the antenna and lead-in as
far as possible from electric light and
power lines. If power line runs
nearby, run the antenna at right
angles to 1t, and SO obtain the mini
mum amount Of interference.
The best receiving antenna for
amateur and broadcasting wave
lengths is single wire 1OO-175 feet
long, constructed of standard "copper"
phosphor bronze or copperweld WIRE
just as high and far away from sur.
rounding objects as it Is possible to
get it, and with a lead-in brought
down from one end and kept at least
three feet away from the house. An
antenna for this type not only gives
good results but will withstand storms
and is not objected to by the landlord
and neighbors.

and shower baths. The building is
constructed of dark Hebron brick,

AMERICANS CLAIM
ISLAND FOR BRITAIN
Party Sent North by Stefans-
son Plants Flag on Wran-
gel, Arctic Isle.

NEW YORK, March 20.--Wrangcl
Island, one Of the most important
lands in the Arctic region. has been
claimed for Great Britain by party
of three Americans, a Canadian and
four Eskimos. it became known
through Vilhjalmur Stefansson, Arctic
explorer, organizer of the expedi-
tion. Mr.. Stefansson said that tho
British flag had been planted on the
island September q, last.
Stcfansson. British subject, said
his fifth and latest Arctic cXpcdi-
tion, made UP of Allen Crawford. q
son of q Toronto University profess
sor: l.. l.. Knight, McMinnvilie, Ore:
Frederick Maurer of New Philadel.
Dhia, Ohio, and Milton Gale of New
Braunfels, Tex, with four Eskimos,
WAS sent by him into the northern
wastes for the express purpose OF
claiming Wrangel Island for the Brit
ish.
Wrangel Island is about the sizs
Of Jamaica, lying 100 miles off tho
northeastern coast of Siberia, and
400 miles west Of BerinS strait.
Strategically the island dominates
northeastern Siberia. Mr.. Stefansson
said only the leader Of the party,
Crawford. knew of the mission Of
the expedition. The Americans, hs
said, became connected with the eX-
pedition purely through love of ad-
venture.
Although Stefansson said he knew
of the expeditions success the day
following the Wrangel Island land
ing, he has just made the fact pub
lie. He said -he intended sailing this
spring for England to present Brit
aims new possession to the British
prime minister.
Wrangel Island was first discovered
in 1S49 by Il British naval expedi-
tion under Capt. kellett, who sailed
close to the land, but did not go
ashore, the explorer said. In 1869
de Long. an American whaling cap
tain, discovered the island. which, it
was assumed, was the same sought
by Baron Wrangel, Russian. in
1926. In 1881 several American naval
ships landed men on the island. John
Muir according to Mr.. StefanSson,
was one of the landing party. But
all these landing parties. American
and British alike, lost claim TO the
land after the lapse of five years. ac-
cording to the explorer.
Nobody landed on Wrangel Island
after the Americans were there in
1881. SO far as l KNOW" said Mr..
Stefansson.
Stefansson claims to have financed
his own expedition. which sailed from
Nome, August 5, 1921.

CONGRESSIONAL FIGHT
IN MAINE HELD VITAL
Today's Vote Important Test as
Well as Indicator of National
Political Feeling.

AUGUSTA, Me-, March oO.-The first
test of strength between republicans
and democrats in the congressional
battles of this year will come in the
third Maine district today. In TINS
district, once the stronghold of Janice
q. Blaine, representative is to DC
chosen to fill the vacancy caused by
the resignation of John A. Peters
early this year to become federal
district judge for Maine. The candi-
dates are John Z. Nelson. republi-
can, and Ernest L. Mclean, democrat,
both attorneys of Augusta.
The district always has been strong
ly republican, but the democrats have
waged d hard campaign in an effort
to swing it their way. Representative
Peters received margin of 1927
votes in 1920, when women voted for
the first time.
Both candidates have issued pre-
election statements. Mr.. Nelson char
acteriZed the election as one Of the
most important in the history of the
state, and warned his supporters
against overcontidence. If he were
elected, he said, it would be con-
strued throughout the country as IAN
Endorsement of the splendid work of
President Harding and his co-work-
ers.g
"If the democrats should succeed
in cutting down the usual republican
majority" he added, lit would give
tremendous encouragement to the
democratic campaigners for the fall
elections"
Mr. Mclean asserted that the clos
ing hours of the campaign brought
great hope" of his election.
There is a general feeling Of dis
satisfaction" he continued, with
Congress, which has done nothing.
The promised relief has not been
given either the farmer, the laborinG
man or the merchant. Many Stanch
republicans have reached the conclu-
sion that the only way to rouse Con-
gress from its lethargy is to elect
democrat"
