SENATOR BORAH AND REPUB.
LlcAN STATE TICKET.

In his speech at Weiser replying tC
criticisms directed at him for advocat-
ing the direct primary after the repub-
lican convention had declared in its
platform against it, Senator Borah re-
ferred to the action of the late Sen
ator Hepburn under similar circum-
stances in justification of his position
He said:
why it has not been so very
long since one of the most dis
tingushed men this state ever
produced. Senator Hepburn, cam
paigned this state against the pri-
mary law, after the plank had been
put in the platform. So take it
as you will we are simply here
tonight presenting the question to
the people of the state and ask
them to elect a legislature to rep
resent their wishes"
What Senator Borah says regarding
Senator Hepburn is true, and he was
subjected to the same criticism that
Senator BOrah is experiencing now
The Miner believes that the criticism
in both cases was merited. but is will
ing TO admit that there is a division
of opinion on the question. AS we
view it, after the Wallace convention
declared its position on the direct pri-
mary, the question was closed so far
as this campaign is concerned and the
declaration became an obligation upon
the party to carry into effect. This
is especially binding upon republican
candidates for the legislature. and we
contend that they can not with honor
disregard it if elected
But there is this difference between
the position taken by Senator Borah
now and that taken by Senator Hey
burn after the republican convention
had declared in favor of the direct
primary a good many years ago. SEN
ator Hepburn was just as earnest and
aggressive in his support of the con-
vention system as Senator Borah is
n favor of the direct primary, and he
adopted the same means to retain it
n Idaho, regardless of the attitude of
lis party; but there was a difference
which Senator Borah did not mention.
senator Hepburn campaigned the
tate against the direct primary. but

SENSITIVE SET
DESIRED IN RADIO

Receiving sets are of varying de-
grees of sensitiveness. Thus an in
expensive outfit must receive a GER
tain amount of radio energy before
1t will respond and give satisfactory
strength of music or speech in the
telephone receivers. A more expen-
sive outfit has a better means of
using the intercepted wave energy, to
the utmost extent, so that IL will
respond satisfactorily with a far
weaker wave than is. the case with
the cheap outfits.
A still more expensive outfit, says
Radio Broadcast. provided with wave
amplifying and sound amplifying ac-
cessories. responds to even weaker
waves still, so that 1t operate at. great
distances when the waves have be-
come so weak or attenuated that they
are no longer detected by the cheaper
outfits. So II Is a case OF using a
receiving set that Is sufficiently SEN
sitive to make use of such radio
waves as are intercepted in any
given locality.
Thus 1t comes about that the per-
son located in a city near a broad
casting station can employ a very
inexpensive set with excellent re-
suits. On the other hand. the far
mer, some 100 miles away, must
employ a set costing ten times as
much to receive the same broad
casting service. The cheap outfit
does just as well as the expensive
outfit under these circumstances; /;
the farmer Is simply paying for the
distance which he has to span with
his receiving set.

Questions and Answers.

Q.-(a) Learning for the first
time through the press that a per-
init is necessary to install a receiv-
ing radio set, and being one of
many thousands in the District
without that permit. although ]
have used every safety precaution
generally advised, such as lead in
insulator. vacuum gap to ground,
etc. would appreciate a short dis
cussion as to the best manner in
which 10 comply with the law.
(b) An advertisement in a large
mail order catalog states that
there is. a loss of energy through
using a vacuum gap to the ground
from aerial. Is this true? II SO.
is 1t sufficient to warrant some
other method of lightning pnotec-
ton?
(c) By changing the wave
length in receiving by a very little
bit by means of condenser, l re-
ceive WWX close to $50 meters.
What harmonic of LILO meters is
this? lilo divided by would be
$40, which i receive him on, but my
limited knowledge of musical har-
monics< does not include this as a
strong harmonic.
(d) Am making a 100-volt B stor-
age battery and wish to know II
l may charge this series with a
6-volt 6-ampere rectifier or will it
be necessary to charge in multiple
by placing taps on the battery?
Do not wish to bother with the
taps II Unnecessary as expect to use
the battery on power tube for
receiving where critical adjustment
will not be essential. Z. +. II.
A.-ta) In reply to this question
E. F. II. is referred to a short
paragraph elsewhere on this page
and to The Herald of Sunday, May
FL, in which a full discussion of the
requirements for and installation OF
protective devices for radio receiv-
ers was given. Information con-
corning approved types of lightning
arresters will be given at the Dis
trict Building, electrical division.
The requirements cannot be stated
briefly because the lightning ar
restor itself Is no more important
than Its position and connections.
OBJ No, the loss of energy in this
instance is negligible. Certain
types OF vacuum gap arresters are
not approved, due to their construc-
ton prohibiting ready inspection.
In some instances vacuum gaps are
preferable.
(c) The difficulty you have is
very likely due to re-radiation
from other antennas on the post
office station. The harmonic fire.
Quencies are always some multiple
OF the fundamental freQuencies,
and will not occur on less than
the transmitted wave length.
(d) 1t is not practicable to do
this without higher voltage. If
you will connect three cells in
series. and the series terminals in
parallel. charging in multiple will
prove satisfactory.
The Washington herald., 1922-06-04

vents the antenna from becoming a
| hazard to the building and its con-
tents and may act to supplement the
protection given by lightning rods.
The arrester should have the most
direct connection to the ground which
1t is feasible to make, otherwise the
antenna may become a hazard with
respect to lightning.
d. Protective Ground wire-while
II Is desirable to run the protective
! ground wire in as direct a line to
| ground as possible. II is more i'm
portant to provide a satisfactory con-
tact at the ground itself than to
avoid few bands in the ground wire.
Z. Receiving Equipment Ground
Wire-If the ground wire of a receiv-
ing set passes through a wall, IL
should be insulated for the same rea :
sons as the antenna lead-in wire re-
ferred to In paragraph a above.
II the ground wire Is exposed at
all to mecha nical injury II should be
OF larger size than the minimum per-
| mitted under the rules and certainly
not smaller than No. 10 B. & S gage.

quencies.
Transmitting Equipment:
J. Protective Ground Switch-On
account of the larger size Of the
ordinary transmitting antenna. IT is
more likely to be subject to damage
from lightning: and on account of
the high voltages produced by radio
transmitting equipment. II Is desir-
able to provide for the use of a
double-throw switch for connecting
the antenna either to the transmit
ting apparatus or to the ground.
The use of this switch makes II
possible to entirely disconnect the
antena from the transmitting ap-
paratus when not in use.
The objection to slate base switches
is chiefly from the radio engineering
viewpoint, on account of the absorp-
tion of water by many kinds of slate
and the presence OF conducting
streaks.
Under this rule one has the choice
Of the standard 100-ampere 60o-volt
single-pole, double-throw switch or
special antenna switch using 60
ampere copper which has an air-gap
distance Of at least four inches.
o. Protection from Surges. etc
On account of the difficulty which has
been experienced by the induction of
voltages in the supply lines of a
transmitting station, II Is advisable
to use a protective device across
the terminals OF each machine or
transformer connected to this power
line. 1t would also seem desirable
to connect a similar protective device
across the power line and near the
point Of Its entrance to the building
and on the house side of the meters.
1t is desirable that research on the
performance Of protective devices and
the means for avoiding surges and
'kickbacks." in the power supply
lines be promoted.

The time signals are transmitted
twice daily from thirteen naval
radio stations and from five others

The accuracy of the time signals
depends both upon the Transmitting
mechanism and upon the method
which is used by the receiving sta

while the lag Of the signals from

The lag occasioned by the time of
transmission of the waves from the
transmitting station to the receiv-
