AMATEURS SHOULD PLAY FAIR
Radio Inspector Schmidt Urges. That
They Learn the Laws and
Regulations.

Nine out of every ten radio fans are
good sports, but the tenth is either a
fan with poor Judgment or ''rotter."
1t is up to the amateurs to see that
restrictions are not imposed upon
them, by playing fair, says Radio In
spector l.. r. Schmidt of the Ninth
district.
This can be done by observing GER
tain cautions and by becoming posted
on the radio laws and regulations. A
copy of these regulations may be OBJ
tanned from the superintendent of doc
uments, government printing office,
Washington, D. c., for Is cents. 1t is
worth while to spend Is cents in order
to be square shooter" in the radio
game.
The great trouble with amateurs is
that when they want to send mes
sage around a corner they put on all
the power they have with the hope
that some one in Texas might pick up
their message. The object should be
to use the minimum amount of power
to get the message to it's destination.
In all circumstances, except in case
of signals or radiograms relating to
vessels in distress, all stations shall
use the minimum amount of energy
necessary to carry out any commune
cation desired"
Amateurs should keep their wave
length to 200 meters.
They should use pure wave" or,
as the regulations state, eff the send
ing apparatus is of such a character
that the energy is radiated in two or
more wave lengths, more or less sharp
ly defined, as indicated by sensitive
wave meter, the energy in no one of
the lesser waves shall exceed TO per
centum of that in the greater"
The wave must be ''sharp." AS to
this the regulations state: "At all sta
lions the logarithmic decrement per
complete oscillation in the wave trains
emitted by the transmitter shall not
exceed two-tenths when sending dis
tress signals or signals and messages
relating thereto"
Amateurs frequently are at fault in
calling stations too often. The law
states that they can call three times,
send I'd e" once and sign their station
call three times; but often the anna
tours will send the calls dozen or
more times.

gross price per pound obtained was
rs cents. The average net to the
grower was slightly over 20 cents.
Forty-five thousand two hundred and
fOrty-six men consigned their wool to
these pools and received an increased
price of 81 OILS, 549.13 for their cooper
atively marketed product. Ohio mar
keted 5,798,390 pounds Of wool by this
method, almost twice as much as any
other state; Michigan came next with
2,5S6,347; New York, Indiana, Iowa,
Wyoming and Montana all marketed
over million pounds each.
Mr.. Fawcett says, 1.-THE machinery
for processing and conveying the do
nestle wool clip from the grower to
mill has been through the hands Of
about 5000 wool dealers and speculat-
ors, each of whom must maintain his
storage facilities and organization, and

agricultural commodity have had such
a little knowledge of the methods en-
ployed In the distribution of their prod
ucts as the wool growers, and little or
no attention has been paid to methods
of distribution to mill consumption.
The product of about $4,000 wool
growers through the pools was pre-
pared for market while yet the prop
erty of the growers and sold on quail
ity basis through their association d.
rect to the mills. This, we believe, to
be economy in distribution. The fun
damental principle upon which this
method of marketing is based may be
described as an effort to conserve q
larger portion of the consumers dollar
for the producer by shortening the
route between the producer and con-
sumner through efficient and systematic
distribution"

as might be supposed, especially if
some logical procedure is used.

there Is no reason why there should
be any trouble. But the human be-
Ing Is prone to err, so that for the
"once In while" that is liable to ham

the explanation Of what might happen
to simple receiver and the best way
TO fix 1t.
The usual troubles of the receiver
fall under one of the following three
headings:

3--Leakage.
An open circuit can most easily be
detected by means of a series lamp.
Nearly every one has available the or
binary ITO volt lighting circuit. Take
an ordinary extension cord and cut
one wire at any convenient place and
use these two ends as test clips or
tips. The extension cord is plugged
into the house lighting circuit at any
convenient outlet and when the two
cut ends are held together the lamp
will light as the circuit is closed.
When the tips are held open the cir
cult Is open" and the light will go
out.
Suppose 1t Is desired to test for an
open circuit in a tuning coil Connect
one tip to one end of the winding and
the other test clip to the slider. AS the

TIPS TO THE RADIoisT

The higher the aerial the
stronger the signals. An increase
OF five to ten feet In the height
OF the fiat top aerial will in
crease signals.
Addition of q variable con-
denser to the secondary or to
the primary of q loose coupler
often helps to tune out the
undeslred signals.
The sliders on tuning coils Of
ten make poor contacts with
the slide rod. Thus much of the
signal strength is lost. You can
overcome this by soldering a
flexible wire to the slider.
Increase length of spreaders
OF two, three or four-wire aerials
from six to ten fset for best
results. Each wire should be
from four to six feet from its
neighbor. Two wires one or two
feet apart are no better than
one wire. Likewise four wires
ON short spreaders are no bet
ter than one wire.

BROWN GRID SQUAD COMING STRONG;
 TWILL MAKE YALE HUSTLE" THE TIP

GI,ook out for Brown is the
 crack of the gridiron sharpshoot-
 CTS. Brown has always had &
 formidable team and the poor
 showing of the Providence col-
 Iegians last season was a big sur
 prise. But the Bears are coming
 back strong, and will bear watch
 ing this season.
 Ed Robinson, a corking coach, who generally manages to develop teams that rank with the best, is being aided this year by Reggie Brown, former Robinson and Brown is one that is bound to bring that Providence outfit along at a speedy pace.
 Robinson and Brown have perfected a defense that is a dream. Their task now is to get an offense that will be as good. That will be considerably harder, for the Brunonians have no outstanding back unless it be Sweet. This lad is a fine kicker, very con- sistent and powerful. However, there is no really fast back on the team on whom to build a strong offense.
 Roy Eisenberg, former De Wit CIin- ton High School star, is playing the quarterback position and making a good job of it. He is a very heady little fellow. On Saturday, against Syracuse, he showed to excellent ad- vantage. He is handicapped by lack of weight.
 But whatver the team may lack in the matter of backf1e1d stars is off,

set by the strength of its sta1wart line. Johnstone and Schmu1tz-John- stone particularly-are nifty wingmen They are fast, sure tackIers and han de passes well.
 This Bear a Grizzly,
 Eckstein at center is a bear. All Brown football players are supposed to be bears, but this fellow is a griz- zly. When he gets his hands on an opposing runner that man stops in his tracks. Eckstein is built along the lines of one of those grizzlies and he plays the position of pivot in a fin ished manner. Eckstein is just start ing his football career.
 Gulian, the captain, is a very capable tackle and Barrett,a guard, is a lad who keeps busy all the time He does not have to be told what to do, but is constantly shifting through the lines and mailing the runner in his tracks. He did that several times / against Syracuse, Hopping the speedy Bowman just as this young man was starting on one of those sweeping runs And Bow man is no tortoise in starting. The foregoing is a general outline of the Brown eleven as it played against Syracuse on Saturday. It is a team of possibilities and it is sure to keep both Yale and Harvard hustling at ton speed the entire afternoon in their meetings.
 About this time every year critics begin to glance about for prospective greats. Kickers are the first to claim

ed by Tim and Mike Callahan, respec- tive centres of the Yale and Prince ton football teams of 1919. That was real, bersek, toe to toe stuff. The following season the CaIlahans were captains of their teams, but by this time Tim, of Yale, had been shifted to guard, and the business lost some of it's punch.
 Over in Philadelphia some years ago two brothers-Eddie and Larry Shields-ran what was virtually a dead heat for the one mile inter scholastic championship of the Mid dle States. Eddie, who still holds the worlds interscholastic record for the mile, 4:23 1-5, won the race by inches.
 Funny thing about that. Larry af- terWard became the intercollegiate cha ampion and 8 point winner in the Olympics. Eddie became nothing, although he was given plenty of rope by Lawson Robertson at Pennsyl- vania.
 It was not until the 1920 world ser- ies that brothers were prominent on rival ball clubs, although they were often on the same roster. notably Mike and Jack O'Nein. of the old Cardinals and Lee and Jesse Tame hill. of the White Sox, world cham pions in 1906.

CHANEY IN FINE

Andy Clancy, Baltimore's great two-fisted ring campaigners, who will cross gloves with Kid" Kap1an, Meriden's thunderbolt, in what is ex- pected to prove the ring classic of the year tomorrow night at Weiss Park, New Haven, is applying the finishing touches to his training in Hartford.
 As Monday nights bout at BaIti- more in which Chaney was fouled by Frankie Rice served as a good work out for Cheney, the Baltimore feather weight will taper off here with a light tune-up, engaging in a little shadow boxing, skipping the rope and other stunts. This will give the curious fans a line on Chaney's condition.

Teams may come and teams may go, but this brothef business in ath- ietics, seemingly, goes on forever, and, we might add, thereafter more or less indefinitely. It was a novelty once, it is almost a bromide now.

 Mead added that he realizes Rap Ian is tough customer and that Chaney has contracted for a rugged assignment in taking on the Silver City lad, but his charges experience, his body punching and his cleverness will prevail over Kaplan's dogged de- termination and amazing strength.

There appears to be a controversy going on over the selection of Young McAu1iffe as the referee for the Rap lan-Chaney bout.

Both are competent officials and hagg1ing over that point appears to be wasted energy.
