 Of course. such man has got to take country disadvantages, too.

 Oh yes you're perfectly right in your comment. The nine families speak of as living on less than $500 a year each. (1l All live in the country; CD all have small farms; (3) raise on those farms a considerable portion of their needs; (D they don't have to pay rent.
 Take those points up. separately, in reverse ordar, heginniTsy with No. 4, they don't have to pay rent" But they have to pay taxes, and insurance, and repairs, not merely on one small, tucked up apartment or tenement, but on house and laEns ana pig-pens and hen-heuses etc And trey can't move if taxes and Insurance are. raised on them.
 No 8 they can raise at home con- siderable part of their needs. True, but they have to pay for this in labor and ether expenses a sum always very close to the farm-selling price of the crops and, at present, in many cases higher l than they can sell them for.
 Nevertheless, I am willing to admit that, in. these two matters, they have a slight advantage over city or suburban renters.
 Now consider Nos. 1 and 2. They all live in the country, and they all have
 small farms. Well. the country is very wide. It isn't at this moment one-halt tiled no, nor one-tenth.

FURTHER ADVICE ON
PUTTING UP ANTENNA
Two Types of counterpoise De-
scribed-Energy Losses Mn
imized by Proper Location.

1t has been stated in previous ar
ticles that an antenna system consists
of a so-called aerial and a ground. In
certain forms the ground is also known
as a counterpoise.
Sometimes a counterpoise Is made
up In form similar to the aerial and
is suspended beneath 1t. To certain
extent this is true Of the counterpoise
used on airplanes. which is made up
Of all the metal parts Of the plane.
When the earth is dry or rocky. and
consequently a poor conductor Of cleo
tricity, a c0unterpoise consisting Of a
network of wires is laid on the ground
and directly underneath the horizontal
part of the antenna. If 1t is desired to
install this form Of counterpolse the
metallic surface of the counterpOise
must be at least equal to that Of an
tenna. and for efficient operation
should even be greater than the an
tenna surface. Also the resistance of
the counterpoise should be made as
low as possible In order to eliminate
the losses that otherwise would take
place in 1t. A counterpoise of the form
described Is illustrated I'm Figure IA
When the ground underneath al
antenna is good conductor, that is t.
say. Is soft and moist, the earth itsel

received energy Is the same for a
single wire as for q multi-wire anten-
ma. unless the spacing between the
wires is very great. The greatest adj
vantage Of a single-wire antenna is
mechanical II is much simpler TO
erect. due TO the absence of spreaders,
and it will Withstand severe storms
which would tear down a multi-wire
antenna with the same supports.
Not all the energy induced in a re-
ceiving antenna by the wave produced
by the transmitting station Is useful.
Part Of the energy is reradiated, part
is lost due 10 the resistance of the an
tenna conductors. part is lost due to
the eddy currents produced In neigh
boring non-conducting material. and
part Is lost by leakage around the an
tenna insulators. All of these losses
can be reduced to a minimum by prop
The losses due to eddy currents can
be reduced by erecting the antenna
so that II will not be near any objects
such as houses. barns. trees, etc. The
resistance loss can be reduced by u.s.
ing a heavy conductor Of low high
frequency resistance. such as stranded
phosphor bronze cable, Good, long
insulators with plenty of surface
creepage distance will minimize In
sulator leakage. Just as much care
should be taken in bringing in the

The Beverage antenna Is one of the
most recent additions to the art Of
short-wave radio reception. Due to its
characteristics, it was used at Ar
drossan. Scotland, last December,
when % amateurs succeeded In bridg-
ing the Atlantic with radio.
The Beverage antenna is adapted to
the reception Of signals on single
predetermined wave length. 1t con-
sists of one wire supported on 10 to
12-fOot posts, this wire having a
length of either one or two even wave
lengths. II designed for 200-meter
reception, the wire will be either $500
or 1900 feet long.
Unlike the customary form Of an
tenna, this wire Is grounded at both
ends. At the far end, away from the
receiver, 1t is grounded through a non
inductive resistance Of from 250 to 400
ohms, and at the receiving end through
a variable inductance. In the case Of
the receiver used at Ardrossan. five
stages Of radio frequency amplifica-
ton, regenerative detector and two
stages of audio frequency ampllfica-
tion were used.
As stated above, the Beverage an.
tenna is designed for reception of a
single wave length, depending on the
length of the antenna wire. If other
wave lengths are to be received, the
length Of the wire must be changed.
1t has been found that the signal
strength using LOO feet of wire, II
feet above the ground, Is approximate
" the same as would be heard with u
single vertical antenna wire, 1870 feet
in height. However, the Beverage an
tenna Is highly directional, and on ac-
count of this fact, interference from

one wishes to receive Is reduced to n
minimum. Also, due to the short dis
