ACID IN LOAF OF BREAD
jail Delivery Planned at
County Jail.

What Is believed was another plan
for a jail delivery at the county Jail
was discovered Wednesday afternoon
when two bottles of acid were found
in a loaf of bread which was sent
to TEX Cardwell, now serving a sem
tence for violation of the liquor law.
The loaf of bread and a small
amount of cooked meat was brought
to jail by a messenger boy, who said
Ted Zitzer. 17-year-old magazine
salesman, living at 355 Shawnee street,
had accosted him in front of the
Western Union office and told him to
take the package to Cardwel at the
county Jail.
Jailer Charles Hixon suggested to
Frank DeHart, night jailer, that the
bread be examined before it was taken
to Cardwell. Two fopr-ounce bottles
of acid were found wien the loaf was
opened. 1t is believed some of the
prisoners intended to throw the acid
in the jai1er's face, binding him. and
thus effect an escape

RATE REDUCTION REFUSED.
MiiIers Failed TO Introduce Evidence
to Warrant Cut. SaNs y. I. e.

The public utilities commission has
refused to order Il reduction in rates
Of the Kansas Gas & Electro com
pany to milling companies using its
service. Millers failed to introduce
sufficient evidence to- warrant a cut
in exist -ng rates, according. to the
commission Ten mills on power lines
of the Kansas Gas & Electric joined
in the application for rate reductions.
The only evidence in support of a
reduction was from one miller who
operated two plants, one using electric
power and the other steam. He as
serted that production cost was 10
cents a barrel lower in the steam op-
Grated plant than in the one where
electric motors had been installed.

WHEAT EMBARGO ON U. P.
Milling Companies in Kansas Towns
Punished for Slow UnIoadings.

Omaha. Dec. 1.-THE Union Pa
cific railroad has declared an embargo
against loading of wheat consigned to
certain milling companies at Salina,
Abilene, Russell and Hays, Kan, on
the main line of that road, because OF
the fact that these milling companies
have cars of grain which have not
been unloaded, Mt was said today at
Union Pacific headquarters here.
There is no tieup n-wheat move
ments in Kansas. it was stated by
Union Pacific officials, and the em-
barge affects only certain milling
companies in the cities mentioned.
Action by the Union Pacific railroad
is in keeping rather than in oppOsi-
ton to policies of the Kansas public
utilities commission. Numerous COM
plants have been made by the state
commission to the effect that certain
mills and elevators DID not release
cars promptly. In meeting the situ
alton the commission recently an
nounced it would not aid these eleva-
tors in securing transportation facii-
ties Now the Union Pacific has de-
clared an embargo against loading of
grain consigned to mills and elevators
which do not cooperate in prompt
release of cars.

The evidence regarding the

many attendant Ills. Is too con-
elusive to even admit Of doubt.
Thousands of people, throughout

the wonderful merits of the
medicine and the list of testi-

Questions and Answer

Q. ta) Is a Meyers RACE audIon
Dub as good as a radiotron?
tb) What capacity and grid leak
are used with this type Of buib7
Co Can Meyers tu1ks be used for
transmission and ampFification as well
as the radiotron?
(d) Can one use step down trans
former for the A battery without a
rectiier?
te) Can one rheostat be used on the
B battery?
uO If possible. please print a hook
up for Meyers RAGS bulb. or Is II
connected the same as a radiotron
tune?
instead OF spark coil for transmits
sion?
th) Could a 32-volt direct current
farm lighting system, IL stepped
down, be used in place Of the A bat
terry? H, Jr., Herndon, Va.
A. (a) An RAGS tube is not suit
able as detector tube. 1t serves well
as an amplifier tube.
1b) Capacity from .o0o2 to .0oo3
MF. Grid resistance of two megohms.
(c) The Meyers tube is suitable for
receiving only, satisfactorily. 1t Is
serviceable for low-power transmits
sion, however
td) This Is not a certainty. at

now In an experimental stage. but

81 Yes. the hook-up Is the same.
The tube~socket is different. Its use

tg) Yes. but with much less power.
(h) Yes. Suitable resistance must

Wire Sizes.
Q. (a) What size wire and how
many turns should be used on both
primary and secondary of a vario-
coupler?
(b) Does it require a license to
make and sell home made apparatus?
tc) Are buzzer transmitting sets
efficient? c. c.
"A Ndy NO - wire lot primary ana
No. "a for secondary. The number OF
turns depends on the dimensions Of
the coil. which you have not given.
OBJ No license is required for making
and selling home made radio sets,
provided in the construction you are
not infringing on patent rights al
ready granted to others. The safest
method Is to make up proposed sets.
draw careful diagrams of them and
submit them to patent examiners at
the Patent once to compare with
similar patented hook-ups.
tc) Such buzzer hook-up as en-
closed will give only fair service. You
cannot expect good transmission.
hence it is not an efficient transmit
ter.
