. NEWSIES TONIGHT
Will Give Away 200 Free
Seats in Balcony for
Ministries

Local newsboys and messengers
of the Western Union will be guests
aat the Elks tonight at the Hippo.
drome. It was announced this
moring that at least 200 seats in
the balcony OF the theatre would be
available for the newsboys and mes
senger boys at the fourth and prob.
ably the. last performance Of the
Ministries tonight. Arrangements
for providing the boys with tick
cts were completed later In the day.
Rumors that the minstrei show
would be repeated again tomorrow
night could not be confirmed this
afternoon although 1t was intimat-
ed that another show might be de.
cided upon later. II no additional
show Is given. motion pictures will
be shown at the Hippodrome tomor.
row.
That a big improvement has been
shown in the Elks' ministries since
the opening night Tuesday, Is the
opinion expressed by those who
have witnessed the performances
each day. Not only have the SIX
specially acts shown a marked i'm.
provement but there has also been
a remarkable change in the minis
trel circle act. Songs and Jokes are
now being presented with tho
adeptness OF professionals, and the
entire show is gone over without
the slightest bit OF awkwardness.
The entire first floor OF the Hip
podrome, which is larger than the
orchestra circle OF the Grand, has
been sold out for the performance
each night. Although the balcony
seats have not been entirely sold
out on any occasion, the seat sale
has been very satisfactory, 1t was
said today. For the performance
this evening, there arc still few
good seats in tho back part OF the
first floor available. according to
information obtained at the box
office Of the Hippodrome this al.
ternoon.
While the novelty acts, headed by
Reno Fleming, carried off first hon.
ors on the opening night. the
music numbers OF the grand symp-
oslum are now coming to the fore
ground. One Of the principal feat.
ures is the song by June Orr,
Bells in the Lighthouse the ra-
sonant feature OF which by the
chorus always assures big APP
plause.

Judge E. n. Showalter and

Inability OF state officers to
properly estimate the amount OF
money needed to carry on the
work in the felony cases before
the criminal courts OF the state.
connected with the fact that
courts In the southern end OF the
state where the mine disorders
Lave been occurring have drawn
more heavily on the fund this
year than before, Is the cause OF
the shortage OF funds for this pur-
pose.
According to the Law governing
the budgetlng Of money for this
purpose, 1t is impossible to draw
upon money appropriated for the
same purpose next year, and
therefore no relief Is In sight until
the legislature meets again and
enacts a relief measure. Should
The legislature refuse or fail To do
this Sheriff ] D. Charlton will he

cd from local banks TO meet the
present orders.
1t is understood that not only
jurors and other court attaches

collect what Is coming to them at
the present time. Judges Of the
circuit courts Of the, state are also
paid out Of this fund and x is

To Eliminate Crossing
on Road to Clarksburg

A railroad grade crossing and
four bad curves on the state high.
way route between Clarksburg and
Fairmont will be eliminated by a
bridge across West Fork river to
be built at a cost OF about $50, 600,
under plans now In process OF
completion. Announcement OF
these plans has been made by
Professor R. P. Davis Of West Yir,
gtnia university, who is division
bridge engineer for the state road
commission.
To secure approval OF federal
authorities, because federal aid is
expected in tho construction, Pro.
lessor Davis recently visited
Washington and submitted the
plans to government officials
there. The approval thus hasten.
ed, he said, will enable the road
commission to call for bids soon
with the probability that they will
be opened March %, when other
bids are to be acted upon.
The new bridge. to be known as
Gypsy bridge, will replace tim.
structure now in use. but will be
about a quarter Of a mile further
upstream. Choice of this location
will eliminate the grade crossing
OF the Baltimore and oio railroad
and will permit Strengthening the
road, Professor Davis said, The
state road Of which the new
bridge will form a part will run
from Clarksburg through Fairmont
and Morgantown to Point Marion,
where it will connect with the
Pennsylvania road system to pro.
vide a through route to Pittsburgh.

A CRYSTAL Detector Receiver.

There are crystal detector receiv-
ers galore. and a prospective, radio
broadcast listener is often very much
confused in the selection of his first
set, The one illustrated is. however,
especially designed for radiophone re-
ception. and has some very prac-
ticaI features For example, there
are two holes on either side of the
cabinet through which antenna.
ground and headphone wires may be
passed before connecting to the bind
ing posts on the panel. This allows
the cover to be closed without dis
connecting the wires or in any way
injuring them. The cover will re-
main in an upright position when
opened An instruction card Is placed
inside of the cover, whore it may be
easily referred to when the set Is be-
ing connected up and operated for the
first time.
The mineral used in the detector is
radlocite, and Is quite sensitive to
weak signals. The lever of the de-
tector passes through a spring ball,
which is set in q spring clip. This
makes a universal joint, which allows
Of easy manipulation of the pointed
wire (cat-whisker) when adjusting
the crystal for maximum sensitive
ness 1t holds very firmly. so that
ordinary jarring will not destroy the
detector adjustment. The receiving
wave-length range IL from Gbout $50
to 900 meters when used with the
average sized single wire antenna. (

No. 8-1he Condenser and What 1t Does

liquid in the receptacle A reached the
level of B, it would stretch more and
more as additional liquid was poured
in, and that large part of the liquid
would be contained in the bulb. In
this way nearly twice as much liquid
might be poured into the receptacle
as would be possible without the
bulb. figure .. Then, as the liquid is
drawn off through the opening at {
and the pressure on the bulb is re-
leased. the rubber will begin to con-
tract and force more and more of the
liquid it contained into the receptacle.
In this way the bulb increases the
capacity of the receptacle to which
it is attached, and in "a somewhat
creases the capacity of the electrical
circuit and at the same time produces
steady flow of current
In a wireless set the condenser is
most important device and several
kinds are in use. If you should ex
denser you would find it composed of
alternate sheets of paper and tinfoil
OF mica and tinfoil with the sheets of
foil completely separated, but con-
nected to binding posts or terminals.
This is the simplest form of con-
denser and upon the size of the tin
foil sheets the capacity of the con-
denser depends. The larger or more
numerous the sheets of foil the great

sized condensers sheets of glass an6
copper or other metals are used ir
place of paper or mica and foil. while

A Buzzer Test for the Crystal De-
tector.

tectOr.
1t quite often happens with a c-ys-
tai detector receiving circuit that the
crystal needs adjusting. With a ga
lena crystal, for example. it Is GUS
tomary to use a fine pointed wire,
resting rather lightly on the surface
of the mineral. Not all points on the
surface are good ones for rectifica-
ton of very weak currents; that is,
not all points are sensitive. 1t then
becomes necessary to poke the
pointed wire at several spots on the
crystal while signals are being re-
ceived to find sensitive one. But
what is to be done when no signals
are to be received? 1t might be de-
sirable to adjust the detector for
maximum sensitiveness before the ra
dio broadcast begins. SO that nothing
will be missed. This would seem to
call for a local transmitter of ex-
tremely low power. which could be
used for making the signals desired
in testing.
