Clippings from Philadelphia news
papers indicating that hundreds OF
citizens of that city had addressed
the Philadelphia City Council urg-
ing appropriations for two new golf
courses, were received by Council
man Alexander r. Abrahams yester-
day from j. A. Gallagher of VIII

pings was evidently in support of Mr..
Abrahams in the exception he took to
the statement made by Councilman
J. Edward McNabb before City Coun-

Municipal Golf Course
The success OF the Cobb's Creek
course, the Philadelphia article
states, has stimulated a desire for
additional accommodations; that
there was a time when golf was
usually played by elderly persons,
but If this charge was ever true II
does not hold good now" Many
young persons. il adds, have taken
up golf with benefit, and also those
who are not overburdened with this

That the Philadelphia Fathers
followed out the requests OF their
constituents regarding golf was in
dicated by action taken at their
meeting yesterday. according 70 the
Philadelphia newspapers
At the meeting yesterday steps to
hasten plans for the establishment
OF two nine-hole golf courses near
League Island and Taopny Creek
parks were taken when approval
was given to a resolution asking that
the Fairmount Park commission for
estimates OF cost for the courses
Councilman Cox introduced the
resolution calling for the municipal
golf course near League Island. The
measure was amended at the sug-
sestion of Councilman Walter to in

courses TO eighteen holes when ap-

Mr.. Kemp also emphasized that

some dealers in Wilmington failed
to receive a pound OF hard coal.

to my attention every hour in the

LINKING MOVIE AND RADIO
British Scientists Have Some Success
in Wireless Transmission OF
Motion Pictures.

British scientists are reported 10
have met with more or less success In
developing a method of transferring
motion pictures by radio. Some
months ago a photograph was trans
ferred by wireless from the COpen-
hagen newspaper. the POlltiken, to Eng
land. and later from England to a ship
in mid Atlantic, so that the POSSIBLE
ity of linking the movies with the new
art is not remote.
IL perfected the new development OF
the already versatile art Will make IL
possible for one TO see on his own re-
ceiving instrument things that are hap
pening at a great distance. For
instance, a ship Is sinking at sea. The
transmitting station of the vessel, in
stead of sending a message of the dis
aster, sends a picture that anyone with
a receiving set will be able TO see Just
as the present broadcasting programs
are heard.
That all sounds remote now, but
the telephone was considered even
more so. and the wireless, even after
MarcOnis immortal message had
bridged the Atlantic, was generally be
lieved to be akin to the idea of per-
petual motion.

HOW AMATEUR CAN
BUILD A RECEIVER
Instructions for Setting Up the
Antenna and for Assembling
the Tuner.

In order 10 pick up sufficient energy
with the simple radio receiving set
ir Is necessary 10 connect one termi-
nal 20 an antenna consisting of one or
more wires suspended In the air and
insulated from all grounded material
and the other terminal to a ground.
usually the water supply pipe. The
height OF an antenna used with a
small receiver should not be less than
30 feet. AS the received energy va
ries directly as the height OF an antenS
no. the higher the antenna the louder
will be the signals or voice produced.
The length OF an antenna for short
wave reception should not be less than
30 feet nor should IL be longer than
200 feet. The minimum wave length
20 which a simple receiver can be
adjusted for electrical resonance Will
be above that used by amateurs IL
the receiver be connected 10 an an
tenna 200 feet or more In length.
A simple radiophone receiver cap
able OF picking up radiophone sta
lions similar 20 KDKA at East Pitts
burgh. can be assembled by a novice
for from S4 TO SIS. depending upon
the builders ability TO use his hands.
II the builder will construct most Of
his apparatus he will appreciate IL
much more and probably will under
stand more about its operation than
II he buys a set already made. How
ever. for those who have not the abll-
fly or the time To spend constructing
their own apparatus the following de-
scription will not only give the details
as to the construction OF each COM
ponent part OF a receiver but also
what standard ready-made parts can
be purchased and used In its stead.
The material can be purchased at
any electrical supply store.
In erecting a simple antenna for
use with the receiver shown In the
diagram. the antenna proper and the
lead-ln are OF stranded hard-drawn
copper wire. strand No. %. costing
about cent per foot. The two insu-
lators are Of nodded material and can
be purchased for about - cents each.
The antenna shown is supported De
tween a house and a pole. IL may be
found more convenient to support IL
between a tree and house, two houses
or even between two chimneys on
the same house. In bringing down the
lead-in care should be taken that IL
Is kept as far away from grounded
material as possible and when bring
Ing through the wall or under the win
dow into the house IL should be brought
through some sort OF an Insulating
tube. such as rubber or bakellte.
In making the ground connection
the same kind OF wire can be used as
was purchased for the antenna. You
can clean a section Of the waterpipe
thoroughly aud solder the ground wire

ALABAMA GETTING FEDERAL
 LOANS FOR FARMS

The war finance corporation yesterday an- nounced loans of $2,54o,0OO for agricultural and live stock purposes. Alabama appears on the list of states to which the advances were made, $45,o0o being loaned to cooperative farm organizations, established under the law enacted by the last legislature.
 This money may be obtained by organizing and applying for it. The opportunity is pre- sented to every farmer in Alabama. Having made beginning, Alabama should continue or ganizing until its needs provided for.
 That these war finance loans have proved a real aid to farmers is evidenced by the repay ment of large portion of the advance made in the early operation of the board.
