COAL IN ENGLAND
BECOMING DEARER

London. Nov. 9.-Coal prices
in England probably will reach
the highest level in history dur-
ing the coming winter, accord
ing to London retail dealers. A
general increase Of three shil-
lings a ton was made recently,
and another will be announced
within the next few weeks, it is
expected.
The price Of the best hard coal
is now 81 shillings about $1,000
ton, graduating to 45 shillings
fer kitchen coal. The highest
prices last year for the same
grades was 81 shillings and 4e
shillings. A further increase OF
six shillings may be looked for
The labor troubles and the
forecast Of an early and severe
winter are given as the reasons

secured by recipients was meas

authorities, officials or individ-

The bill then states that this
looting Of the treasury became so
general and was tolerated to such
an extent that custom made It
possible to violate the law with
impunity. Switching to the re-
cent economic catastrophe which
the republic as suffered, the
measure again passes RESPONSE

declaring:

USING ELECTRIC LIGHT WIRE
Experts Tell the Safe Way to 9mpioy
This System for Radis
Receiving

Since the announcement that the
bureau OF standards of the depart
ment of commerce had perfected
method OF employing electric light
wires In place of aerials, considerable
experimenting has been done by vari-
Gus amateurs. some Of whom have had
good luck while others succeeded
only in blowing farge number OF
fuses.
Engineers of an eastern electric light
company have offered the following
suggestions to amateurs:
First Successful results have been
obtained so far only with audion bulb
sets. Crystal sets receive the signals.
but for some reason they are very
weak and indistinct.
"Second-No set should be used on
this system without air or oil filled
condensers placed In series with either
the antenna circuit or the ground
circuit-preferably In the antenna
circuit.
"Third-A fuse not heavier than
one-half ampere should be used in
series and Just ahead of the antenna
connection.
"Fourth-An ordinary separate de-
tachment plug-i. e.. one with two
blades connecting the two separate
halves of the plug-is used. Only one
wire is run from this plug. the other
binding screw left undisturbed. This
single conductor wire should be long
enough to reach from a handy electric
light socket to the table where the
instrument is located and should
terminate In the fuse mentioned above.
In case an externally connected con-
denser is used, the circuit should be
run from the fuse to the condenser

ma binding post of the receiving set.
"In sets where the condenser Is
built into the instrument the connec-
tion from the fuse is run directly to
the antenna binding post. All other
connections should be exactly the
same as for conventional overhead
aerial receiving.
screw the attachment plug into
the electric light socket and tune as
usual In case no signals are received
reverse the blades In the attachment
plug by simply pulling the attachment
plug apart and turning the lower half
halfway around.
"Caution-Under no consideration
should the connection from the electric
light socket be brought directly into
contact with the ground connection.
Or fuses will be blown In the house
circuit and the whole house left with

careful about making contact them

SHORT FLASHES


The first national radio COM
pass station on the Great Lakes
was recently installed. Other
stations will shortly be in serv-
ice when the graveyard" of the
lakes will have lost its terrors.
1t is claimed that John Hayes
Hammond, Jr., and DR.. E. L.
Chaffee have invented an appli-
ance that insures secrecy In
wireless. The system is based
on principle Of producing char
acteristic waves to which only
especially equipped receivers
are responsive.
Secretary Hoover's force Of
ether cops" may take the form
of special government detect
ing stations where aerial com
passes could he arranged so as
to detect the direction from
which interruptions come. BY a
series of relays. the government
station nearest the violating
amateur could be notified and
the source of trouble stopped.
Now the fans in England are
having II hard time with their
air. According to report from
England there ar" only 5000
authorized amateur operators In
the United Kingdom. The Lon
don Daily Mail states that the
reason for the arts tardy
growth Is the fact that ham
pering and senseless restric-
tions In this country prevent
wireless amateurs from getting
practice. The old fogies of the
army and navy air forces are
afraid of the amateurs and use
their influence In having the
postoffice authorities impose i'm
possible and vexatlous restric-
tions that limit the field"
