LEGION HOLD ELECTION
Local Organization Puts in
New Officers-After Club
Rooms.

At the meeting of the Ameri-
can Legion post in this village
last week, the following officers
were elected:
X. Ewald, post commander.
Edw. Drager, vice post com.
ThOs. McGregor, adjutant.
A. H. LaRenzie, finance officer.
James Hayden, historian.
John Foley, master at arms.
The members of the post are
expected TO take over the fur
nishings and the lease of the
rooms over Gaffney's furniture
store, now leased and owned by
the Eagle River Club. A meeting
of the club members was sched-
uled for Monday evening to take
this matter up, but not enough
members attended to transact
business. Another meeting of the
club is scheduled within a few
days.
If the post can secure the fur
nishings and the rooms it will
have a meeting place for its MEM
bers and visiting soldiers and
sailors. There is said to be in the
making the launching of a drive
throughout the county for 1909
membership of ex-service men in
this post.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR
TROUBLE SHOOTING
How to Detect and Remedy the
Open Circuit, Short Circuit
and Leakage.

Radio circuits are subject to the
same ills that the ordinary power
circuits are subject to. However, to
cure them is not such a difficult task
as might be supposed, especially II
some logical procedure is used.
II a receiver is well put together in
the first place and all contacts and
other parts gone over once in a while,
there is no reason why there should
be any trouble. But the human be-
ing is prone TO err, SO that for the
"onee in Il while" hat is liable to hap
pen, this article will be devoted to
the explanation of what might happen
to 4 simple receiver and the best way
to fix it.
The usual troubles of the receiver
fall under one of the following three
headings:
IAN open circuit.
PA short circuit.
3-Leakage.
An open circuit can most easily be
detected by means of n series lamp.
Nearly every one has available the or
binary 10 volt lighting circuit. Take
an ordinary extension cord and cut
one wire at any convenient place and
use these two ends as test clips or
tips. The extension cord is plugged
into the house lighting circuit at any
convenient outlet and when the two
cut ends are held together the lamp
will light as the circuit is closed.
When the tips are held open the cir
cult is "open" and the light will go
out.
Suppose it is desired to test for an
open circuit in a tuning coil. Connect
one tip to one end of the winding and
the other test clip to the slider. As the

What a Whale Weiohs.

Have you any idea of the size of
the common Greenland whale? Mil
son, the z~oologist, estimates the full
grown animal to average 100 tons, or
224,000 pounds. That is to say, a
whale weighs as much as about so
elephants or 400 bears. OF course,
some run larger than this. There are
tales among old whalers of whales 40
feet long, and Weighing at least 80
tons. But such are not seen these
days. A 70-foot whale is a big one
now. Still it may give some idea of
what monsters are occasionally killed
when we mention that d ton of oil has
been extracted from the tongue alone
of a single whale,

Packet Radio Receiver.

The pocket radio receiver is a sue
cess. Many types have been built that
have operated successfully and that
may be carried in the vest pocket. The
aerial may be q wire fence, a strand
of wire dropped from a high window,
and the ground n water pipe or fire
hydrant. The success Of broadcast

Spouse and see if it is bent toward the
pole piece. Try tuning the diaphragm
over If such is the case. Be careful
when the diaphragm of a receiver is
removed that the leads of fine wire
from the magnet spools to the con.
nection blocks do not become broken
in handling.
If the continuity of the circuit of n
pair of telephone receivers Is checked
and no response is heard when the
cord tips ire touched to the tongue,
try checking each receiver of a double
head -et separately.
The two receivers are connected In
series and to check either one sep
arately, short circuit the tips of the
cord leading to the other receiver just
outside of the case. Should 1t appear
that there Is al open circuit In the
cord, short circuit both receivers
where the cord enters the case and
with a buzzer or lamp connected to
the tips on the end of the cord test
for an open circuit.
Care should be exercised by the
operator when adjusting a crystal de-
tector to see that his fingers do not
touch the surface of the crystal or the
contact point of the little spring. The
oil secretion that exists In the skin
together with the dust that it collects
will render a crystal detector inopera-
tive by the insulating film that it will
cause to form on the portion of the
crystal surface that Is touched. Should
the surface of the crystal get dirty
as evidenced by the received signals
becoming weaker and weaker, try
cleaning the crystal with alcohol and
Il little brush. Or If this does not seem
to remedy the trouble, chip off old sur
face so that an entirely new surface
Is presented to the spring.

The expression "eating crow" which
is used anonymously with eating
humble pie" to indicate surrender or
enforced doing of something unpleas-
ant, originated in an anecdote OF
Civil war days.
According to the story, a private
trespassed and shot a tame crow.
THE anraged farmer seized his rifle
and declared: "Since you've killed
nv crow you've got to eat it"
A little later the farmer asked:
swell, how do you like crow?"
II don't banker after it," was the
reply. '.but 1 can eat it."
Satisfied, the farmer returned the

ately turned upon him with the curt

Fascinating Old COPPER.

The Jewish people. by reason of
their religion, have always held their
copper household utensils and brass
candlesticks in loving regard. Their
use of copper cooking pots dates back
to thai ancient time when they were
commanded by God to place no iron
on the fire of the Altar of Stones +;
when the tabernacle was raised in the
wilderness in the time of Moses, its
furnishings were of gold, silver and
copper. lin the King James version
of the Bible it reads Gold, silver, and

reads "Gold, silver and copper.")-

TIPS TO THE RADIOiST

The higher the aerial the
stronger the signals. An increase
of five to ten feet In the height
of the fiat top aerial will In
crease signals.
Addition of a variable con-
denser to the secondary or to
the primary of a loose coupler
often helps to tune out the
undesired signals.
The sliders on tuning coils Of
ten make poor contacts with
the slide rod. Thus much of the
signal strength is lost. You can
overcome this by soldering a
flexible wire to the slider.
Increase length of spreaders
of two, three or four-wire aerials
from six to ten feet for best
results. Each wire should be
from four to six feet from its
neighbor. Two wires one or two
feet apart T. no better than
one wire. Likewise four wires
on short spreaders are nc bet
ter than one wire.

The great trouble with amateurs is
that when they want to send a mes
sage around a corner they put on all
the power they have with the hope
that some one in Texas might pick up
their message. The object should be
to use the minimum amount of power
to get the message to its destination.

Amateurs frequently are ut fault in

states that they a call three times,
