Returns are required of every

whose net income for 1921 was $1,000
or more, and of every married person
living with husband or wife whose
net income was $4,000 or more. If
the combined net income of husband,
wife and dependent minor children
equalled or exceeded $4,000, or if the
combined gross income of husband,
wife and dependent minor children
equalled or exceeded $4,000, all such
income must be reported on a joint
return or in separate returns of
husband and wife. If single and the
net income including that of depend

equalled or exceeded $4,000, a return
must be filed. A minor, however,
having a net income of $1,000 or
$4,000 according to marital status or
gross income of $4,000, must file a
return. The requirement to file a
return of gross income, regardless of
the amount of net income, upon
which the tax is assessed is a new

A week later Mrs. Clayton found an
other letter in the rural delivery box.
Yes, it was from Jehiel.
She drew Il long breath. Her eager
thumb was almost under the flap of the
envelope when she hesitated, eyed the
letter uncertainty, and thrust it into
the pocket of her calico gown. All day
it lay there, save at times-which, in
deed, were of frequent occurrence
when she took it from its hiding place,
pressed it to her cheek, or glOried in
every curve of the boldly written adj
dress.
At night, after the lamp was lighted,
she said to her husband in tones so
low he could scarcely hear:
"Thaddeus, II had a letter from
Jehiel today"
You did-and never told me? Why,
Harriet, what" He paused helplessly.
II haven't read it, Thaddeus," she
stammered. Il couldn't bear to, some
way. l don't know why, but | couldn't.
You read it," She held out the letter
with shaking hands.
He took it, giving her a sharp glance
from anxious eyes. As he began to
read aloud she checked him.
NO. ter yerself, Thaddeus-ter
yerself! Then-tell me-"
AS he read she watched his face.

chin quivered as she saw the stern

Bye bye,

Harriet Clayton did not cry this
time. She stared at the letter long
minutes with wide-open, fearless eyes.
then she slowly folded it and put it
back in its envelope.
Harriet, mebbe-" began the old
man timidly.
Don't, neutrality-suspicious. don'tw she
interrupted. IL don't want ter talk"
And she rose unsteadily to her feet and
moved toward the kitchen door.
For a time Mrs. Clayton went about
her work in a silence quite unusual,
while her husband watched her with
troubled eyes. His heart grieved over
the bowed head and dropping Shout
ders, and over the blurred eyes that
were so often surreptitiously wiped on
corner of the gingham apron. But
at the end of week the little old wOm-
an accOsted him with face full of
aggressive, yet anxious, determination.

of Radio Equipment and
Several Features

A new radio show will open in the

entered the contest. The winner will
be determined by a committee Of
judges consisting Of Or. Miller Reese

In This City
System Invented by General
Squier Is Demonstrated
Successfully Before the
National Arts Club

The system OF broadcastlng enter
tanment along electric light wires, III
vented by Major General George O.
Souier. chief signal officer Of the
United States Army, was demons trated
for the first time in this city last
week. The demonstration was made in
the National Arts Club, Is Gramercy
Park, under the supervision of Lieu
tenant Colonel c. A. Sloane, chief ex-
ecutive to General Squier, and was
) witnessed By large number of guests
Before playing each OF the artists
was introduced to the audience, after
which they went to the transmitting
station in another building, where 8

them. The building chosen for this
purpose was on the same electric light
circuit as the clubhouse where the
demonstration was held.
A feature of the event was the use
OF the same electric light socket to
which the radio receiving apparatus
was attached, for the purpose Of heat
ing al electric iron, operating an cleo
This was done to emphasize the fact
that the radio carrier currents which
travel over the electric light wires are
not interfered with i'll any manner. BY
the ordinary power current carried by
.Ae line.
Before the demonstration Colonel
Sloane delivered an address on world
communication, in which he outlined
the development of wireless in all its
phases, and concluded by describing
General Squier's system of wired
Wircless.'
"Oniy one hundred of trillionth
part of the energy used by the trans
mitting station is received in the pres
ent broadcasting method he said
"whilc in the method used by General
Squier only one-half OF 1 per cent Of
the present energy used in sending is
necessary.
"Thc advantages OF using the light
cities, where the air is jammed with
messages is incalculable; and there is
the added safety from, lightning.
CAT present the generals method is
such that the sound produced must be
made for the light circuit; but we hope
soon TO have a practical method fol

out Of the ether"

(primary) and set the switch 2 on con-
tact point !. The primary switch 4
may be left in any position. The wire
which rests on the crystal detector
must be placed lightly at different
points on the crystal until the trans
mitting station is heard, when the set
is adjusted as described below. During
this operation the primary switch n
should be set on contact point 8.
Having adjusted the crystal detector
to sensitive point, the ncxt thing is
to adjust the switches on .l.e coil tube
(primaryl, the switch on tl1e coil
tube ) secondary) and also the varia-
bic condenser c SO that the apparatus
VIII be in "resonancc" with the trans
mitting station. Set the primary switch
on contact point l. and while keen.
ing it in this position move the other
primary switch O over all Of it's con-
facts, stopping moment at each one.
Care must be taken to see that the ends
OF the switch arms are not allowed to
rest so that they will touch more than
one contact point at a time. If no sig
nails are heard set the switch arm \ on
switch arm O over all Of its contacts
Proceed in this manner until the trans
uniting station is heard. This is called
tuning the primary circuit.
Inc tuning of the secondary circuit
is the next operation. Set the sec
ondary switch q OF contact point and
turn the knob Of the variable CON
denser G so that the pointer moves
over the entire scale. If no signals
are heard. set the switch on contact
point and again turn the knob of the
variable condenser SO that the pointer
moves over the entire SCALE Proceed
in this manner until the signals are
loudest, being careful to see that the
ends OF the switch arms touch only one
contact point at g time. Next slide the
coil tube tsecondary) in and out of
the coil tube z (primary) until the
signals arc made as loud as possible
This operation is called changing the
"coupling." When the coupling which
gives the loudest signal has been Sc
cured 1T may be necessary to readjust
slightly the position of the switch arm,
o., the position of the movable coil
tube and the setting" of the vari-
able condenser c.
nance w3th the transmitting station. 1t
is possible to change the position of
one. or more of the switch arms, the
position of the movable coil tube and
the setting Of the variable condenser
in such a manner that the set will
still! be in resonance with the same
transmitting station. In other words,
there are different combinations of ad-
justments which will tune the set so
that it will respond to signals from the
same transmitting station. The best
adjustment is that which reduces the
signals from undesired stations to a
nd -, roI
transmitting station to be heard. This
is accomplished by decreasing the
coupling drawing coil tube S further
out of coil tube p and again tuning
with the switch arm o and the variable
condenser c. This may also weaken
the signals from the desired transmit
ting station, but it will weaken the
signals from the undesired stations to
greater etXent, provided that the
transmitting station which it is de-
sired to kear has wave frequency
which is not exactly the same as that
of the other stations. This feature is
called eselectiyitT1
