HOW TO GROUND AN AERIAL
II Properly Done 1t Really Protecu
the Property From
Lightning.

Generally speaking, aerials do not
attract lightning, but they do store uI
atmospherical electricity, and, o;
course this condition does create
hazard. However. when the aerial Is
properly grounded it then acts as
lightning rod and really protects the
property from this electrical hazard
Briefly, the fire underwriters require
that the aerial be grounded when moi
In use by copper wire no smaller
than B. S. Gauge No. or larger ano
run said wire as directly as possible
to the outside ground.
This means that water, gas or steam
pipes inside the property cannot be
used for a lightning ground, because
if ever this ground was called into
service there is possibility that fire
and loss of life may result. So do noi
use inside grounds for lightning pro
lection.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR
TROUBLE SHOOTING
How to Detect and Remedy the
Open Circuit, Short Circuit
and Leakage.

Radio circuits are subject to the
same ills that the ordinary power
circuits are subject to. However, to
cure them is not such a difficult task
as might be supposed. especially if
some logical procedure is used.
If receiver is well put together in
the first place and all contacts and
other parts gone over once in while,
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 a while" that is liable to hap
pen, this article will be devoted to
the explanation of what might happen
to simple receiver and the best way
TO fix it.
The usual troubles of the receiver
fall under one of the following three
headings:
IAN open circuit
PA short circuit.
3-Leakage.
An open circuit can most easily be
detected by means of a series lamp.
Nearly every one has available the or
binary 110 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 it 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

most universal desire is not to 60 outside
their own country unless as proprietors
or superintendents or in some privileged
position.
Like other countries, Japan has serious
problems to face, such as the burden of
military expenses, the labor question, the
effect of increased wealth and luxury up
on the morale of the people, and the
availability of raw material to meet the
growing demands of her factories, but
there is every prospect that the indus
trial progress of the last twenty five
years will continue.

If buzzer and battery are avail
able they can be used in testing for
an open circuit in the same way that
the lamp can be used. Connect the
battery and buzzer in series with the

The ground connections can be

of the lighting circuit is already

the ground and the other to the gas

TIPS TO THE RADIOiST

The higher the aerial the
stronger the signals. An increase
of Ave to ten feet in the height
of the flat top aerial will In
crease signals.
Addition of a variable con-
denser to the secondary or TO
the primary of loose coupler
often helps to tune out the
undesired 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
flexible wire to the slider.
Increase length of spreaders
of two, three or four-wire aerials
from six to ten feet 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.

Britishers Not Much
Interested In Bout

LONDON July 10 - ASSOCIATED
Press Mail)-There is less enthu-
siasm in England than in France over
the proposed return match of Jack
Dempsey, worlds heavyweight cham
pion, and Georges Carpenter, worlds
light-heavyweight champion although
the genuine British fght-goer is max
ing much noise in the hope that the
bout may be staged in London. Those
financially interested in the proposal
are disappointed with the feeble pub
lie response.
Some of the British sports writers
argue vehemently against the pair
meeting again, Punch" England's
greatest boxing expert, asserting in
the London Times that the result of
the battle at Boyle's Thirty Acres
in Jersey City last July was so de-
cisive that Carpenter has no reason
for soliciting another attempt at the
crown and that the whole proposition
is absurd.

lulu Star Bulletin is quoted in part
as follows;
The delegate from the island body
to the national A. A. U. meeting
will have to go armed with plenty
of details as regards Paddock's per-
formances here and the dagger
ready if any attempt is made to
knife the island body. Paddock, by
running against unregistered and
semi-pro athletes on Hawaii, laid
himself open to being disqualified as
an amatuer athlete, and if he per
sists in demanding his so-called
records" the Hawaiian delegate may
be forced to lay all the awful details
of Paddock's visit before the national
meeting, including the fact that in
among the runners expenses were
flowers, candies, taXicabs and per
fumes. All of which should create
a nice odor in the gathering of the
national delegates in November"
In later dispatches from the Asso-
ciated Press, Paddock charges that
the Hawaiian Association of the A. A.
L. does not want the records made
by him in the Islands to become Off
cial because they would prevent any

Paddock added; 81 did not beat the

According to a report from The
Southern Pacific Association, Paddock
there pointed out that he had brought
back affidavits showing the times he
had made in the Hawaiian races and
declared the charges that he had beat
the gun were all bunk. Paddock
admitted the Maui track was uphill,
but against it President Weaver
stated that he had examined the
aflidavits and found them authentic
and covering everything necessary,
according to A. A. U. rules. Weaver
said he understood the races were re-
gularly sanctioned and that it was up
to the Hawaiian officials to see that
all meets were regularly held. Weaver
declared the tangle was one not to be

1t may be added that here on Maui
where Paddock raced on a turf track,
that greatest care was taken to con-
firm with the rules of the A. A. U.
County Engineer Paul Low and his
assistant were employed in laying out
an eXacting track that would meet
the required conditions.

Stories Season
Opens In Canada AS
General Free For All

PRINCE GEORGE, B. c., July 12-
ASSOCIATED Press Mail)-Two anus
ing bear stories, both vouched for by
reputable eye-witnesses, are going the
rounds here. Forest fires in northern
British Columbia during the past
month have had a peculiar effect upon
some of the wild animals of the woods,
judging from some of the stories
brought in to Prince George.
A fight between a fire-craZed bear
and a mule, in which the bear was
worsted occurred at l.. Mason's ranch,
at Bednesti, B. G. The forest fire
routed the bear from its lair, and in
its dash from the flames into the open
country it collided violently with a
jack-mule. The bear was promptly
stretched out on the ground by a
double tattoo from the capable hind
hoofs, and the mule calmly resumed
its interrupted grazing.
Thoroughly angered, the bear pick
ed itself up and cautiously approach
ed the mule from a different angle.
The huge paw was brought down with
a resounding thwack on the mules
ribs. This was unfortunate. The
hoofs were again brought into play,
after a quick, accurate manoeuvre for
position, and the fight was called off
so far as he bear was concerned. Mr..
Mason, who had witnessed the unusual
encounter, dashed to the house for a
rifle to finish the bear, should any life
be left. Before he could get back to
the scene, however, Bruin managed
to get groggily to his feet and return
to the less exciting environment of
the forest fire.
A fire patrol ranger is sponsor for
another bear story. While making a
survey in the mountain district, he
came upon a young cub suffering from
severe burns on feet and body. The
y%oungster vas whimpering from the
pain and the forester took pity on it,
lifted it into his car and there made
it fast with some p
The patrolman started on his Jour
ney only to discover that the mother
bear had appeared and was in hot
pursuit. AS the track ran uphill at
this point, the bear, making long
strides, gained steadily and the need
for strategy was clearly indicated.
The forestry book of instructions does
moi cover a situation such as this, but
the ranger was resourceful and decid-
eded that the best plan would be to
throw the cub overheard. His at.
tempts TO unite the knots on the lash
ings which secured the youngster to
the machine, however, proved futile.
Pursuer and pursued came to a yet
sleeper grade, with the advantage all
with the former. Finally, with one
mighty effort the old bear threw her,
self on the back of the car, holding
on by her claws and paws.
This is where the forester decided
to retire in favor of the enemy. He
dove off the car, and regained his feet
in time TO see it continuing it's journey
