Casella Is Sure
United. States Does
Appreciate Concerts

Upon his return to Italy after his
first American tour, Alfredo Casella,
the Italian modernist composer-pian-
ist, in an interview in III Giornale
dItalia' published in Rome, said.
among much else that was compliment
tary to this country: Il went to the
United States without any definite con-
ception of the great country to which
| had been invited for a series of ron
certs. l know it now not only as a
country rich in finance, but rich in
music.
AS for the lack of musical appre-
citation on the part of the public, that
is a legend one must destroy. The
Americans are much more cultured
in music than we in Europe have been
led to believe. The orchestras are
admirable. and all of them. through
the generosity of millionaires. are on
a sound financial foundation. They
follow their activities in concert halls
which for architectural magnificence.
as well as the comfort with which
they are equipped, so far exceed any
thing we have in Italy that COMPARE

Grid Affects Phone,
Diaphragms to Give
Signals Circuit Gets

The part that the grid plays in the
operation of the audion or vacuum
tube in common use on radio receiv-
ers is most interesting. This is the
electrode that delivers the pulsations
of the radio waves which are received
by the antennae, to the "B" battery
circuit. The current from the 3D.
battery passes between filament and
plate through the grid itself.
The grid adds to or subtracts from
the flow of electrons moving from the
filament to the plate. and thus affects
the phones on the "B" battery circuit
so that the phone diaphrams give the
corresponding signals to those re-
ceiyed by the aerial circuit.
"All other things being satisfac-
tory" says Mr.. S. f. Leonard, radio
engineer of the Willard Storage Bat
terry company. much depends upon
the type of "B" battery used. The
new Willard radio ''B" storage bat
terry has met a most flattering recep-
ton and has answered a long felt want
among radio operators for a quiet
and efficient "B" battery"

done dip the whole thing quickly into
some melted wax; after it is dry,
scrape off the wax over the %uninsulat-

Now take the drawer and put three
binding posts as numbered 10, 2 and 3
in the picture and put a small paper
fastener through the bottom Of the
drawer &lose to binding post No. l.
Take a piece of wire left over and
bind it around the fastener and bend
the fastener flush against the bottom;
now bend up the ends so as to hold a
small crystal as shown in the picture.
Connect this wire with binding post
No. 2.
Put a galena crystal in this holder
and connect a small wire to binding

Take the wire marked "A" and con-
meet it to binding post No. 3. This
leaves one end of the wire of the coil
free which is not to be used.
Cut off a piece of copper wire (about
No. 20 will do) and bind it around the
outside of binding post No. 1 and bend
it over so as to touch the u~ninsulated
part of the coil. Be sure that it
touches firmly, as the picture shows.
Now connect two wires to No. 3 bind
ing post, one of which is connected to
the ground. the other to one terminal
on the receiver. Another wire is con-
nected to binding post No. , which
goes to the receiver. Connect another
wire to binding post Ne. 1 which goes
to the aerial.
Now you are ready to receive on the
next broadcasting day. To test this
set connect it up to the aerial and
ground and if you bear a buzzing or
humming sound in the set it is working.
To tune this set slide the drawer back
and forth until the signals come in
clearly.
You may use an ordinary telephone
receiver or a pair of wireless receivers.
If you wish to put a condenser in the
set, it can be connected. A condenser
can be purchased at the 10 cent store.

H. L. Wilson, president of the com
pany, in his first public statement
since the readjustment plan was ef-
fected.
THE Columbia mpan is not and
never has been in the hands of a re-
ceiver. A petition for such action was
filed by small holders of stock but the
plea was dismissed promptly. The
agreement of a majority of note hold
ers against the company to, defer pay
ments both on interest and principal
from April l. 1922. to August 1. 1925.
after deducting an amount not in ex-
cess of aggregate bank deposits on
September ID. 1921. is healthy indica-
ton of the faith they have in the earn
ing capacity of the Columbia
under normal conditions. This plan
could have been blocked By objections
from % per cent of the note holders,
but not three per cent objected.
"All of this means that the COMPANY
has cleared its decks of the unfortu-
nate situation created by the sudden
stoppage of business, the sudden fall
ing off in sales and the accumulation
of inventories. and the management is
IN a position to devote it's entire en-
ergies to carrying forward the COM
pany's business of serving the public
demand for the best that can be pro-
duced IN the way of Instruments and

OF the management to devote itself to

In addition to the above letter, young
Shovic has furnished The Tribune with
a description of just how his match
box set can be made. This follows:
Simple Radio Receiving Set
This set will receive not only tele-
graph messages but also radio con
certs given out by The Tribune broad
casting station of Great Falls.
The first thing to do to make this
set is to get a safety match box; then
buy about two ounces of No. "a cotton
covered wire. Take the drawer out
of the safety match box and at one
end of the cover punch two small holes
to hold one end of the wire. Start
winding about one-fourth of an inch
from the end of the cover. Wind the
wire tightly until about %one-fourth of
an inch from the other end; make two
small holes and weave the wire into
them about three times. Then cut off
the wire about three inches from the
holes.
Now heat an iron red hot and on
the side of the box on which the wire
is wound, burn off the insulation care

trial with similar messages sent be-
tween San Francisco and Los Angeles.

Falls Boy Has
Penny Match Box Set

There is at least one boy in Great
Falls for whom the expense of radio
receiving sets and the inability of deal
ers to obtain apparatus from the manu-
facturers have no terrors. He is Folke
Shovic. a ~15-year-old enthusiast, who
lives at 1114 Second venue south.
This boy is independent to the extent
of having made two radio sets of his
own without any expenditure. One
he built from an ice cream container,
Great Falls tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1921-current, 1922-06-18

and the other from a tiny penny match
box. and with either he listens in on
kYDS just the same as your house
holder with his new $500 set.
1t is a caution the amount Of tech
nical information and ability these boys
have on the subject of radio. Young
freckle faced hopefuls of a size which
two generations back considered the
building Of shacks. wagons with bent
axles. or rabbit pens as the ultimo in
science now rattle on unconcernedly of
amplifiers, static. condensers and all
sorts of formidable terms. There are
a good many fathers in Great Falls
today who will never know as much
about radio as their enthusiastic prog
eny do at the present writing.

SUING

Illuminating. An American evangelist
was engaged by a church for a weeks
special mission. On his arrival he went
to see the minister. What sort Of n
church have you here?" he inquired.
Well replied the pastor. Il am
afraid things are pretty bad. The peo-
pie are worldly and careless. the congre-
cations are small. there is no interest
in missions. no one comes to n prayer
meeting. dances and card parties go on
all through the week, and the people
are Indifferent to the claims of relig-
ion"

DOES LIBERAL WANT A i ,f,s4,,e
PUBLIC BATHING POOL
Several Good Propositions Have Been
Made and They Should be Con-
sidered at This Time.

There has been much talk lately Of
a municipal bathing pool in Liberal
and practically all of the talk has beer
in favor of taking some immediate
steps toward building a large pool in
the city park across the road from the
tourist camp ground.
A number of citizens are very en-
thusiastic and among these are men,
bers of the local post of the Ameri-
can Legion, who have proposed to dc
all of the excavation work on the pro-
ject. This is very generous offer,
and would be one of the big items of
expense conquered, should funds be
raised to build the pool.
The Stanton Construction company
recently donated $1,000 to the Liberal
City Park, and Mr.. Hunter, constFlc-
ton superintendent at Liberal, pro-
poses to do the concrete work at a
very low figure, which is very con-
siderate and shows their continued
interest in the future of Liberal. This
would be another mamouth item cut
down, in the expense Of the propos-
ed swimming pool and should be TAX
en- into consideration by those who
might not be in favor of launching the
enterprise at this time.

DEMOCRAT OFFICE HAD
BUSY WEEK THIS WEEK
Large Force and Extensive Equip
ment Taxed to the Limit
Every Day.

Last week was busy one for the
Democrat force, and there was not
an idle moment all week.
Four weekly papers and two issues
Of the daily constituted the principal
business while the large amount Of
job work filled up the times between.
The Democrat now owns the Kis-
met Klipper and the Hugoton Jour
nal. Each of these is four page
paper, while the Democrat ran twelve
pages. Then we printed the Sublette
Monitor Friday and with the dailies
on Friday and Saturday little was
left to be desired in the way of bust
ness.
However next week will probably
run just as strong or stronger. With
four dailies and four weeklies to ham
die we are going to be some busy.
We are just wondering if the peo-
pie of Liberal appreciate the fact that
the Democrat has pay roll of almost
$500 per week at this time. What Is
this worth to Liberal?
Any town booster will tell you
that "pay rolls make town." If
this is true the Democrat is doing its
part in this direction.
It is our ambition to build up the
largest printing establishment in the
Southwest right here in Liberal and
If the business people of Liberal con-
tinue to show a spirit Of encourage
ment we will realize this ambition.
True we may do a good job Of
boosting for the entire southeast but
this will be to, Liberals benefit for
the growth of the entire territory
can only reflect the growth Of the
town.
Give US your printing orders and
help US to build still larger pay
roll; give us boost to your out
of-town friends and we will do our
best to merit your support.
