detector circuit through the receiving
set to give an audible signal in the
telephones.
Where the test buzzer is used only
for adjusting the detector to condi-
ton of sensitivepess as determined by
maximum signed is the telephone re-
ceivers, the sound caused by. the me-
chanical vibration of the buzzer may
be deadened by mounting the device in
a small wooden box stuffed With cot
ton.
For practicing the telegraphic code,
buzzer mounted on a wooden base
with an ordinary telegraph key is
found convenient. If the buzzer does
not make sufficient noise an old tele-
phone receiver may be connected
across the contacts of the break on the
vibrator. A high resistance receiver
should be used for this purpose
A small buzzer similar to the one de-
scribed above is also convenient in To-
Gazing faults in receiving set. For
example there may be an open circuit
in one of the taps on the switch panel,
which can be located by setting the
buzzer in operation and notating the
switch arm until the contact Is found
on which no signal is heard. A tele-
phone receiver may be connected in
series with the buzzer contacts and
two consecutive switch taps TO locate
a break in the winding between switch
points.
A test buzzer may also be used as
a transmitter of racio signals over
short distances when employed in con-
nection with the usual antenna sys-
aem. Under favorable conditions a
range of several miles may be at
tanned. 1t should be understood how
ever that government license Is re-
CURED for every transmitting station
and the necessary authority must be
obtained from the Radio Inspector be-
fore experimenting with transmitting
apparatus.

LAKE VILLAGE FIRES AND
CT 9TH


Lake Villages were safe from at
tack and were handy for fishing, but
they had some bad points.
The worst one was the risk of
burning. Fire was, needed for cook
ing and to keep the people warm.
Bonfres were made both in the huts
and on the platforms.
Rocks and sand were. doubtless
placed at spots where fires were to
be built. Yet careful as lake-dwel-
lers might be, accidents sometimes
happened and fire broke out in this
place or that.
There was plenty of water around,
and we can almost see them jump
ing into their rude boats, dipping up
water in clay bowls and jars and
passing these to persons on the
platform to throw upon the flames
These fre-fghts were sometimes
losing affairs. Often the blaze
swept over the whole village ana
burned it to ashes. The remains of
dozens of villages, burned TO the
waters surface, have been found,
Lake-dwelers stored grain, fruit
and flax in their huts. We might
not have known this if it had not
been for the fire. Plant products US
ually rot quickly away, and only
accidents preserve them.
When the villages were burned
down, much grain, flax and fruit
caught fire and dropped into the wa
ter.

be moved to inquire, have an TN
happy effect upon the Hoover

that it will have such effect. Our
discussion does not revoke about
ordinary mortals. The country
may no have coal at any price, ebut
it still has the priceless Hoover.

vibrator and the tension of the spring
which supports it. The current to OPP
crate the buzzer is usually supplied
by single dry cell or several dry cells

usually provided for controlling the

obtained. In commercial receiving
sets the test buzzer is often incorpor-

mounted on the panel within switches.

Our Mr.. HOOVER

In the impending crash OF rail
road systems and general rush Of
matter. attention is arrested once
more by the case of Mr.. Hoover.
Some day some government, or
Administration, will have the
temeriy to try worrying along
without the presence OF Mr..
: Hoover as guide, counsellor and
friend; but that time is not yet.
Strikes may come, and strikes may
. go. but we are certain to find MIR.
Hoover, imperturbable and ubi-
qtiitous. at the end OF all this fluN
in our industrial and social affairs.
The assumption is that Mr..
Hoover is so popular with the
masses, that his hold is 50 firm
upon the popular imagination,
that no Administration would
dare court unpopularity by fail
ing 10 give him membership in the
official family. Mr.. Hoover has
therefore, and quite naturally,
come to be regarded as a national
habit. Is there something that
must be moved or controlled to
alleviate the discomfort or distress
of the common people of the coun-
try. or. mayhap of the world?
Then the Administrators automat-
ically sends for Mr. Hoover.
The country has a coal crisis.
OF course. Mr.. Hoover Is told to
take charge OF it. The press was
reassuring. In the first place ii was
Mr.. Hoover, and in the next place
all the mighty resources OF this adj
mittedly mighty nation had been
placed at Mr.. Hoover'S command.
MIR. Hoover would see to the fix
ing OF fair price at the mine, and
with that done, he would see to 1t
that the coal was seut-you will
recall the priority liSt-where 1t
would do the most good. 1t was
explained that Mr.. Hoover could
not fail because. if any of the OPP
orators disclosed hard-boiled ten
denotes they would be disciplcd.
They would not be permitted to
have any cars.
This sounded far enough, and
plausible enough. Even the >kep-
teal minority. while in no danger
at any time OF falling victim OF th2
Hoover habit. nevertheless got the
notion that this was one time
when Mr.. Hoover could not very
we'll fail. 1t was felt that he had
at his command all the ways and
means Of making failure impoSSi-
bic.
But with all the National re-
sources at his beck and cali. and
with the moral backing OF the mil
lions of our fellow citizens who
have for years labored under what
the irreverent term the Hoover
halluCinauiou, the news r now
broken more or less gently that the
coal barons are already out OF
hand. They sell their coal at the
mines to the man with the high
dollar, and they send the coal
where the man with the high dol
lar tells them to send it. Since
Mr.. Hoover leaped 10 the fore coal
has gone higher in price. and is
harder 10 find, at any price. There
must be Federal legislation, NC
are now told. if there is to be any

THE SHOPMEN ERRED

Apparently the Administration
is to mark time for the next two
or three days at least, while some
of the Brotherhood Chiefs try
their hand at settling the railroad
strike. No suggestions are to be
made to Congress, for the. mo-
ment, and no further peace over
lures are to be made to either side
in the controversy.
The brotherhood spokesman
are obviously engaged in an ef-
fort to drive a wedge through the
ranks Of the executives, to sepa-
rate the sheep from the goats,
and to make a separate agreement
with a group Of executives who
may be found amcnable to reason
in the matter of taking back the
strikers with seniority rights I'M
impaired. President Willard, OF
the Baltimore and Ohio, proposed
a separate agreement with the
striking shopmen several days ago,
but a veto was put on the enter
prise bv the six heads OF the Fed
Grated Shop Srafts,
The effort now being made by
the Brotherhood Spokesmen re-
minds one. too, OF the unique po-
sition which, up to a couple OF
days ago, was occupied by the exc
cutive staff OF the Southern Rail
way company. Over a period OF
several weeks officials OF the
Southern maintained the policy OF
theLopen door to the men who had
walked out, and the Southern was
not among those present at the
New York meeting OF the ENecu-
tives when the Harding program
was rejected The men had a
standing invitation to return to
their posts, with all rights and
privileges well preserved, upon the
Harding basis, and upon the pre-
else basis now favored by the
Brotherhoods. Chiefs of the Shop
Crafts held that the strike was ma
tional, and that it must be settled
nationally.
In this we are persuaded that
the men made a tactical mistake.
People living along the lines OF the
Southern could scarcely be eN-
pected to sympathize with the idea
that they must be made to suffer,
o the end that some academic prin-
ciple, as they saw it, might be
fought out in the North. 1t gave
support to those executives who
had set up the contention that each
system should have It's own union
and that nothing
was to be gained by executives in
being kind and considerate i'll their
treatment of the men, in the way
that President Harrison had
at the price OF injury to
his railroad. to be.
As we see it, the men had moth
ing at all to lose by going back to
work on the Southerp. and they
had a very great deal to gain. Not
the least OF these things would
have been the opportunity to be OF
service to the National organiza-
ton. which has been subjected TO
adverse criticism because OF their
failure to accept the Southern IN
vitatiou. Brotherhood leaders III
general, and Mr. Stone in parti-
cular. have a realizing sense OF
this. and there are indications that
they have set about to correct this
error OF judgment on the part OF
the policy committee Of the shop
men.

Richnond-Road construction in
Virginia is threatened with serious
handicap as a result of the action
of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission in requiSitioring practically
all open-top cars for coal-carrying
purposes Broken and crushed stone
is transported in such cars. More
than one project is already halted
and unless rock can be secured in
some way, many miles of construc-
ton must be abandoned until next
spring, since the work cannot be
carried on during the winter. In
some instances it will mean nearly
years delay in finishing jobs.
Contractors are appealing for help.
The service orders of the Federal
commission provides that all open
top cars thirty-six inches or more
in height at the sides must be used
for carrying coal. Very fen rail
roads have cars smaller than the
prescribed size, since they are obso-
lete. Virginia railroads have prac-
tically none at all.
