Types of Antennae.

When suitable auxiliary apparata
are used high frequency oscillations
may be created in circuit contain
ing a condenser and a coil of wire
in series with each other. The con-
denser has property called capaci-
tance, and the coil of wire the prop
erty called inductance. If the con-
denser and coil are connected in
series. as mentioned, the circuit is
called CLOSED oscillatory circuit"
Such a circuit does not act on a
very large amount of ether. and its
electric field strength is not very
great at considerable distance from
the circuit. 1t does not. therefore.
create much disturbance in the ether
and does not "radiate" atsall strong
ly. In order to transmit by radio
waves to any distance, it Is neces-
sary to arrange the oscillatory cir
condenser has large physical dimen-
slons. Only by so doing will the
ether be acted upon to a sufficient
extent. 1t is customary to make the
condenser of large dimensions
In the inverted l." type of antenna
the condenser effect is secured sus-
pending q conductor or number
OF parallel conductors at a distance
above the surface of the earth and
parallel to the earth's surface. The
conductor, or system of conductors
becomes, in effect, one plate of 3
condenser and the earth is the OPP
posite plate. In this case one end
of the elevated plate" (horizontal
conductor or conductors) is connect
ed to the earth. usually through a
coll. There is then a vertical por-
tion, which, with the horizontal por-
tion, forms an inverted 'L." Neither
the vertical nor the horizontal por-
tions need to be exactly vertical or
horizontal. but they are always ap-
proximately so. The horizontal wires
are insulated from their supports.
The type called 1T" is practically
the same as the inverted a." with
the exception that the more or less
vertical wire Is connected to about
the middle of the upper horizontal
portion. This leaves two free ends
for the horizontal portion. II the
vertical conductor Is connected te

ed from the top Of q high mast and
are brought down dtagonaily to
equidistant points around the cir
cumference of a circle on the
ground. The free end OF each con-
ductor must be insulated from the
ground, and each conductor Ia con-
nected to every other at its upper
end. The vertical conductor Is then
connected to the upper common con-
Meeting points OF the suspended
wires. Surrounding the mast there
are then h number of conductors
which are spread out like the ribs

ductor is connected to the earth
through q coil. as In the case Of the

SWEDISH RIKSDAG
MAY PASS BILL TO
EQUALIZE SEXES

Stockholm-Admission of women
to nearly all public offices on an
equal footing with men is provided
in a bill soon to be submitted to
the riksdag by the government.
The principle of equality of the
sexes in public service was vir-
tually accepted by the riksdag last
year and the purpose of the present
bill is to put it into practice from
Jan. l, 1928.
The measure provides that wo-
men shall be admitted to all gov
ernmetal posts except in the army
and navy, diplomatic and consular
service, which it is felt cannot be
filled by women. They are also dis
qualified from occupying positions
as officials of prisons and asylums
for inebriates and of the customs
and forestry service, involving
work which men can perform bet
ter than women. Women will not
be called upon to perform guard
duty nor teach gymnastics to
classes of men.
There will be nothing to bar wo-
men from other high executive Of
fees in public life heretofore re-
garded as reserved for men alone.
The minister of justice in discuss
ing the bill favors admitting wo-
men to judicial offices. No distinc-
ton is made in the bill between
married and unmarried women.
But the minister stated that no spe-
cial discrimination would be shown
to married women in public Office
as regards her hours of work or
fulfilling her duties.
