first replies are beginning to come

of the tax. Mr.. Volk inquired OF
the members whether they favored
his bill, which is based on the Ca.

"A manufacturer or distributor

The brief welded life Of Michael

across the Ohio River from here
in Indiana, is just one divorce
suit after another.
They hold the worlds record, II
is believed, in the filing Of divorce
suits, having them dismissed and
remarrying. For the seventh time
a suit for legal separation has been
filed at Corydon as the result Of
alleged cruel treatment, the wife
being the plaintiff.
Mosier has filed three suits for

We respectfully petition Congress 70 pass inc SOL
ders bonus act without further delay and also to levy
sales tax to obtain the money to pay the bonus, for
the following reasons:
FIRST-Public opinion throughout the United
States is undeniably in favor of the SOLDIER bonus,
shown by the decisive majority in every State in
which a popular referendum has been taken-in
Maine by to I; New jersey, 80 to l; New York.
nearly to 1; Rhode Island, to /; Wisconsin, to
l; Oregon 2 to I; Washington, 2H to l; and 50 on
SECOND-We believe that Congress, If permitted
to vote the soldiers bonus, will favor it with even
lar majority by which the people in twenty-five state:
have already approved it, believe that the soldiers
bonus cannot and ought not to be defeated and that
the longer it is postponed the greater the injustice.
THIRD-We believe the new tax scheme proposed
by the Ways and Means Committee is only a little
less Objectionable than Secretary Melons proposal for
threecent postage and for three-cents-a-sallon
tax on gasoline. Proponents of such taxes oppose
any soldiers bonus whatever and hope by linking it
with such new, destructive, and unpopular taxes to
kill the proposition altogether.
FOURTH-f the soldiers bonus is not only right
but inevitable, and If the United States 10 not to lag
behind England, France, Italy, Canada and Australia,
which have already paid liberal solders bonuses then
our payment is already long overdue, not as debt
for our debt to the soldiers be paid but
just tribute to the valor and the sacrifice of the
men who the war.
FIFTH-The only question that remains is: By
what system of taxations shall the money be raised?
Not by bond issues, because it is against the trad
ona policy of the United States increase debt in
time of peace. Not by any irritating, unreasonable
destructive tax individuals, business, industry,
because we already have too many such taxes. A
small general sales tax will raise than enough to
pay the soldiers bonus; it will bear heavily upon no
If the experience of Canada and our own Philip
pine Islands, where the sales tax in operation
peated the system will meet with such favor that it
necessary revenue after the soldiers bonus ha. been
paid.

primary coil and circuit. If the num-
ber Of turns of wire in the secondary
coil Is greater than the number of
turns in the primary coil, the voltage
(eiectromotive force), in the second
ary Is greater than that in the
primary. and we have what is known
as "step-up transformer" Such
transformers are in daily use in radio
work, as we'll as electric power work.
If the secondary turns are fewer than
the primary turns, we have step
down transformer" and the second
ary voltage is lower than the primary.
, The interesting thing is that by
electromagnetic induction, current
can be forced to flow in a secondary
circuit. Also, that If the source of
power Is an alternating current We
can either step the voltage up or
down at will by using suitably con-
structed transformer. 1t quite often
happens that an alternating current
at $4,000 to 10000 volts is desired, in
a radio circuit. A generator to fur
nish this high electromotive force
would be impractical, so an a1ternat-
ing. current is fed into the primary
of a transformer at, say. pressure
of 10 volts and produces a pressure
Of the desired high voltage in the
transformer secondary.
In the case of an alternating cur
rent transformer it is quite custom
ary to wind the primary around an
iron core and to wind the secondary
over the primary. An insulating tube
or layer of insulating material is
used to separate the primary from
the secondary, winding.

ELECTROMAGNETIC INDUCTION.

ELECTROMAGNETl INDUCTION.
If a circuit containing a coil of
wire is placed SO that the coil is
in close proximity to a coil in a
second circuit we may refer to the
first coil as the primary" and the
second as the secondary" If an
electric current flows in either cir
cult it will, of course, flow through
the coil in the circuit. An alternat-
ing electric current is one which al
ternately increases and decreases in
strength and reverses its direction of
flow. We are just now principally
interested in tho fact that the current
strength does alternately increase
and decrease. Suppose that such a
current flows In the primary coil.
The magnetic field surrounding that
coil increases and decreases with the
current strength. That is. it expands
and contracts periodically with the
increases and decreases. In expand
ing and contracting the magnetic
field cuts across the turns of wire in
the secondary coil. Due to expansion
and contraction, the field which sur
rounds the secondary coil is con-.
stantly varying. and an electromotive
force will be created in it by electro
magnetic induction" If the coil is in
a closed circuit an electric current
will be forced to flow because of this
electromotive force or pressure. The
current in the secondary coiliand cir.
cult is said to be induced" by the
alternating current flowing in the

4 NOVEL BATTERY TESTER.

A NOVEL BATTERY TESTER.
Perhaps one Of the most vexing
things which can happen to a radio
enthusiast is to have the storage bat
terry run down right in the middle Of
a radio concert. Particularly if there
are guests and the new radio set is
being shown off, this is a very great
annoyance. A little care and fore
sight will prevent this, however, and
it is a good plan to test the battery
every day If the receiving set is used
much.
One Of the best ways Of determining
the amount of charge in a battery is
to use what is called "hydrometer.'
Most motorists are quite familiar with
the device. Usually the hydrometer
has little paper scale inclosed with
In a glass tube. weighted at one end.
When the hydrometer is allowed to
float in the battery solution or
the scale reading at the level of the
solution indicates the state of charge.
An enterprising manufacturer has
simpli1ed this valuable instrument So
that 'he' who runs" may tell the con-
dition of his battery at a glance. A
syringe is used to draw a sample of
the battery solution in the usual
manner But, instead of having
paper scale to read, the user has
merely to note how many little col
ored balls will float. There are three
of these balls inside of the glass
syringe-a white, green and a red one.

If the white one sinks when the
syringe contains solution the battery
is not fully charged, but is all right
to use. II the green ball sinks 1t IS
a signal that the battery will need
charging very soon. but if the red
ball sinks the battery will have to pc
recharged at once. If all the balls
float the battery is fully charged.
Here is an easy way to remember the
Indications, the one which the manu-
facturers originated. "Floats all
