 Main Nile Damned Already.
 From July to October this mighty i flooding goes on, the waters of the 1 Blue Nile. so called because of their clarity and blueness at ordinary sea sons, mingling their chocolate brown with the greenish-gr color of the
 White branch of Father Nilus.
 This great difference in the vol une of water from Ahyssinia Is due to the heavy rain that falls in the mountains of the country not far from it's eastern coast. The Nile system in itself may be said to be a simple one, it's basic source being that steadily flowing river from the tropics which is fed by the great lakes in the east ern and central portion of the con- tinent. augmented at times by great volume of water from it's Abyssinian affluents.
 Since 1902 the inhabitants of Egypt near the mouth of the Nile have had their water supply replen- ished during the season of low water by the reserve supply stored in the Assuan Dam.
 Inhabitants "Hard-Boiled."
 Long stretches of the area north of the Blue Nile are almost entirely one traveller reporting that he travelled s6 miles in Abys- sinia and had not seen a dwelling or a sign of cultivation And even when one encounters inhabitants in the country further to the east he finds them 'unashamed of any crime or vice. They perpetrate their crimes with perfect indifference and recount them with gaiety and laughter as part of the regular conversation during meals.

GUN PLAY AT THE ROCK"
Waterbury Man Killed at New Haven shore Resort-Slayer Says He Was Being Threatened.

New Haven, July 14.-Coroner Mix went ahead today with his inquest into the killing of Frank Cozzo of Waterbury by Antonio Raino at Savin Rock yesterday. The police theory of the homicide is that the men were mixed up i'm a gambling enterprise which had been interrupted by police raids. Rano claimed that he had been threatened by others who ac- cused him of being an "informer' and that he armed himself as a protective measure. Raino. who is locked up claimed that Cozzo put his hand towards his hip pocket so he Raino, drew gun and fired. The police say it looks as if Raino got the drop first.

SEEK MISSING CHINANIAN
New London Police Want Him in
 Connection With Womans Death

New London, July 14-The police are continuing their search for a Chinaman known as Ge Wong in con- nection with the death from narcotic poisoning of Mrs. Hazel Knecht of Golden street.
 Coroner Desmond has been here from Norwich making an inquiry as there is mystery attached to the case, the family having no knowledge ap- parently why the woman should have used a drug. The police say the reason why Gee Wong Is sought is be- cause he was in the house with Mrs. knecht and her three children on Tuesday and is supposed to have been the man who obtained a doctor.
 Ge Wong lived here and is now missing.

ASKS SPECIAL DEPUTIES.

New York, July 14.-Dispatching of special deputies for the protection of the mails to strike centers of New Jersey today had a cheering effect on those responsible for this end of the railroad service. It was reported other centers in the metropolitan dis trict expected to ask for deputies. Re ports that strike votes were being taken by clerks of the Big Four and the Chesapeake and Ohio inspired the statement by union men that the clerks will probably force the issue on several other lines.

British Govt, However, Wants 10 Damn Up Famous River

Washington, D. c. July 1.-The advisability of damming up the Blue Nile not far from Khartum in the Anglo Egyptian Sudan so that the rich triangular region between the two mighty forks of the most historic river in the world may be turned into a granary for all the Sudan is being considered by the British government. newspaper dispatches say.
 The Blue Nile, or the Bahr-el- Azrek as it is called locally, rising in the highlands of Abyssinia, together with two other affluents from the same source, furnishes the world famous Niles with much of the rich sediment which for centuries has en- riched the plains of lower Egypt dur ing the flood season." says a bulle- tin from the Washington, D. c. head quarters of the National Geographic society.
 Rich Region Unknown.
 Down through region little Known and almost devoid of inhabi- tants or any form of cultivation, rush ing over numerous cataracts and rapids, the Blue Nile cuts US way from its source, the beautiful broad sheet of water known as Lake Tsana. The lake, which in the future may become the reservoir for the irriga- ton of a vast area, lies 5000 feet above sea level and about 2,50o feet below the normal level of the plateau in basin resembling somewhat the crater of a volcano. Near it's south eastern corner, through great Assure In its almost inaccessible rim the river issues, and circling around the mountains strikes out in an $50 mile course toward the northwest to join the chief branch of the Nile at khartum of Kitchner fame.
 ''The vast plains of Sennar or Fl Gezira on it's left bank are among the richest on the continent and it is these that the irrigation projects are to develop. In Sennar, the Dinder, a Blue Niles tributary which also rises in the Abyssinian highlands, adds, during the rainy season, it's sediment laden flood to that of the already swollen river, and together at Khar- tum they discharge over 10000 cubic

tice of all he thought would be
OF use to him later.
Soon he became an expert
woodsman and when only twenty
one, and Gov. Dinwiddie needed a
man to go five or six hundred
miles through the forests, Wash
ington was the man chosen.
In order to take this journey
one needed to have diplomacy,
courage, tact with savages, know
ledge of the woods and informa-
ton about forts At every point
Washington studied good loca-
tons for American forts and also
the lay of the land and rivers.
Two of Washington's narrow
escapes happened on this trip, one
when a treacherous Indian guide
suddenly shot at him and one
when he was pulled from his raft
into the cold water.
OF all Washington's escapes
perhaps we hear most about when
he was aide to General Bradock
and that officer was defeated and
his army rooted. The English
General refused to listen to his
explanation of Indian warfare
and led mis- army to the battle us
was accustomed. All Of the Off
GERS except Washington We're
killed or wounded, two horses
were shot from under Washing
ton and four bullets passed
through his uniform.
Washington saved all that WAS
rot lost from this battle and
for reward was made commander
of Virginia forces.
In seventeen hundred seventy
five when the colonies were fight
ing for freedom from England
and commando for the new
army was needed, Congress Pot
the countries welfare into his
hands and this proved a fortunate
step. He led his army through
the New York campaign, from
Trenton to Valley Forge where
he and his men endured much
suffering, then to Monmouth
where like every other battle he
spured his men onto victory if
possible.
At Yorktown he was often in
the trenches under fire and here
he fired the shots.
After CORVALLIS surrendered
and the war was practically over
Washington resigned his commits
mission, and the one who had
been First in War, returned to
Mt. Vernon until called againS to
lead the affairs of our Govern
ment to become, "First in Peace,
a. well. After his presidency he
again returned to Mt. Vernon
where he died in seventeen humid
red ninety-nine and ever since
Americas Greatest Hero, has
been First IN the Hearts of his
Countlymen".

seventeen hundred thirty-two, re-

future General, President and
Father Of his Country?
No boy can imagine a better
place to grow up than Virginia as
it was in Washlngton's boyhood.
For Virginia then on the from

hunting, shooting, taking long
trips into the wilderness ami
learning Indian ways.
His first schooling was obtained

VARYING iNDUCTANCE
OF THE TUNING COIL
How Different Forms of Winding
Affect Reception of Long and
Short Waves.

Tuning inductances for radio re-
ceiving circuits are made in Il variety
Of forms. For short waves, the most
commonly used form Of inductance Is
the single layer solenOid, which Is
nothing more nor less than the COM
mon tuning coil, consisting Of a sin
gle layer of wire wound upon a
cylindrical form.
The method used to vary the In
ductance of tuning coil is Side
which gives single turn variations or
switch which usually varies the in
ductance in groups of turns. For
very close tuning where even the
turn to turn variation is too coarse, a
series or shunt in the circuit IS nee
essary.
A closer variation Of inductance can
be procured by splitting the number

shunt variable condensers since The
coils are not as 4 rule provided with
taps.
For longer wave lengths the bank
wound coil is used to reduce the dis
trlbuted capacity In winding multi-
layer inductances. Fig. i shows how
the turns Of three-layer bank wound
mductances are arranged.
The "duo-lateral' coil Is an i'm
provement over the bank wound coil.
In "duo-lateral" winding the con-
ductors in two successive layers are
not parallel as they are in the bank
winding, but cross each other at IN
angle. In our estimation basket
wound variOmeters with no Shunlrd
capacity are most efficient for short
wave tuning while duo-lateral wound
coils of large diameter, with small
amount of shunted capacity for tun-
ing, are most efficient for long wave
reception,
