Questions and Answers

Q.-What sort of an aerial is
best for indoor when a crystal is
used?
Alt is well to remember that
an indoor aerial will not work for
any distance with a crystal set. SC
do not attempt it. \ single wire
about 100 feet long and as high
as it is possible to get il is the
best aerial that can be used for re-
ceiving Three and four-wire aeri-
ais and the cage aerial will not
help in receiving. Save your money
and time by erecting a single-wire
aerial only.
Q.-May a gaspipe be used for
n ground connection?
A.-Not all gaspipes can be used
as ground connections. In some
houses an insulating joint is put
in the pipe where II enters the
house, and consequently there is
no connection with earth at all.
Q.-How far will my - set re-
ceive?
A.-Once more this department is
going to repeat the unfairest ques-
tion in the radio game: How far
will this set receiver" This ques-
tion cannot be answered by any
one, as too much depends on the
operator, local conditions. and the
power of the transmitting station
at the other end. Readers are re-
quested not to ask this question.
Q.-How many grades does ga
lena come in?
A.-Galena comes in as many diff
serent grades as it is possible to
imagine. Beginners who cannot
hear any signals will do well to
purchase several pieces of this min
eral before complaining to this de-
partment Sometimes by simply
changing the mineral a set that
has been a failure will at once
become a wonderful success.

FLAYS GOV. HARDING.
Helm Says President bares Net
Reappoint Him.

Belief that President Harding will
not reappoint w. p. c. Harding as
governor of the Federal Reserve
Board was expressed in the Senate
yesterday by Senator Hefiin, demo-
crat, of Alabama. Gov. Harding
home state.
Senator Heflin coupled with this a
threat that if the reappointment is
made he will have number of things
to say in the Senate about it, so that
the country will know that "in-
f1Uences" were behind it,
The Alabama senator's statement
came at the close of another attack
on Gov. Harding for what was
termed his deadly, murderous defia-
ton policy" He declared that ef-
forts had been made to call him off
the fight against Mr.. Harding and
declared that INSPIRED" editorials
had appeared in the newspapers of
every city where there was a federal
reserve bank in an effort to 'intimi-
date him. He charged that officers
of the reserve banks. appointed by
Gov. Harding. has inspired" the
editorials. some of which, he added,
had been printed in his own state.
Senator Heflin vigorously denied
that in any of the thirty or forty
speeches he had delivered attacking
the federal reserve defiation policy
he had attacked the federal reserve
system itself. His attack, he de-
clared, had been against the "malad-
ministration" of the system.

GASOLINE RESERVES CUT
May Consumption Greater Than
Months Production.

Gasoline stocks in the United States
which have been steadily mounting
during the spring to new high rec
ord marks, are now on the decline,
the bureau of mines announced yes
terday. Stocks on hand June
amounted to S56.607.102 gallons, which
is 1861, 900 gallons below the record
figure attained at the beginning of
May. Domestic consumption of gaso-
line increased tremendously" during
May, the bureau said, totaling 49s,-
242.343 gallons. This figure repre-
sents an increase in domestic con-
sumption of gasoline of 100000
gallons over the month of April. Gas
oline consumption figures for May
constitute a record for the month, and
are within 100000 gallons Of the
record figure attained in August, 1921.
Gasoline production in May amount
ed to 513.65S,966 gallons. an increase
of 41,000,000 gallons over the month
of April. Large increase in gasoline
consumption, however, was sufficient
to offset the increased production

mobiles decreased 10,S37,000 gallons
for May over the figures for the pre-
vious month.
