POLLY AND PAUL--AND PARIS
By ZOE BECKLEY

The conclerge's homely visit
was cheering, but when she had
gone the little flat seemed I'M
hearably lonely. Polly stood at
the window for company, looking
out into the courtyard that never
failed to afford some interesting
picture.

"oS, | am so glad, dear!"

cheerful company soothed Polly
into peace II not forgetfulness.
She was unconscious OF the
fact that Paul, finishing his work,
had come home a day earlier than
he expected. To be sure he wired,
but the message was forwarded
by mail, He had burst merrily
into the flat, visIoning his de.
lighted wife waiting to greet him
only to be met by vacant rooms
and the concierge's explanation
that madame had gone with her
friend to the country.
Disappointed and wet blanket

Among his accumulated mail was
q note, violet scented, In a fash
tonable hand.

Alone and having nothing bet

Violet's house.

quaint full skirt and starched

WOMAN LAWYER WINS
FIRST CASE IN ENGLAND

By the Associated Press.
LONDON. December s-For the hrst
time in the history Of England a
woman advocate appeared recently in
court to conduct case: She is Miss
Monica Cobb and she won her case, the
prosecution Of a man for bigamy. He
was given six months imprisonment.
Miss Cobb was admitted to the bar
onfy a fortnight before she was given
her first case, in this respect having
better luck than the majority Of her
male competitors. The case proved
an easy one. She made brief
speech. which lawyers said showed a
good knowledge Of the rules Of evil
dence, and wasted few words. She
had no occasion to do any cross
examining, which might have been a
better test Of her practical court ability.
Miss Cobb is a Londoner, q graduate
of London University. A large num-
ber Of women are now studying for
the bar in London and eating their
dinners with the men at the various
inns Of the court, which is neces-
sary preliminary to qualification.
Lincoln's Inn has eleven woman stu
dents. Three of them sat at the Tower
table reserved for students at the
50Oth anniversary dinner last Tues
day, which was attended by nearly all
the prominent Judges Of the British
bench. There was not room enough

GERMAN ARTIST BITTER
AGAINST AMERICANS
Louis Corinth Says His Pictures
Disappeared In q. S.
Exhibit.

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN. December "a somewhat
vehement attach upon foreigners.
particularly Americans. is made by
Louis Corinth, the artist, leader Of the
Berlin impressionists, in a contribu-
tion to the controversy over the
question Of quoting prizes hero in
dollars. Corinth says that when he
sent some paintings to America for
exhibition last year he was requested
to tag their value in marks and then
got his pictures back nor heard any
ming more about them.
Corinth's dislike for foreigners and
their financial methods is not confined
to Americans. for he says that while
ne was negotiating recently for an
exhibition in Zurich matters took on
an aspect strongly reminding him of
his American experiences, and he
gave an exhibition in Germany the
preference.
Incidentally Corinth throws out a
sop to tho newly-rich in declaring
there IL no basis as for the idea
that persons who have suddenly ac-
quired wealth and position are not
sufficiently well bred to sit properly
for their portraits. Such people usu-
ally measure up to their opportunities
aud are quick to acquire the cultural
Polish, he contends. He cites Presi-
dent Ebert. for example, a man who,
despite humble beginnings, is in
every way equal to his position.

FRENCH FARMERS ASTlR
FOR BIG "WHEAT WEEK"
Echo Of Recent Bakers Strike Will
Be Discussion Of Price
Discrimination.

By the Associated Press.
PARIS. December 9-The recent
bakers strike in Paris will have an
echo in the forthcoming wheat
week." during which representatives
Of agriculture from all the wheat
producing sections of France will
make an effort to get at the proper
relations between the price Of wheat
and the price Of flour and between
the cost of flour and the selling price
of bread. The. discussion will start
from the hypothesis that so long as
France is unable to raise all her
breadstuffs the price of wheat flour
and bread must remain high.
Thib will bring the conference to
the question of making France inde-
pendent of foreign markets for the
wheat she needs. France came close
to this point last year and it is held
she can arrive completely at it by
developing wheat growing in Algeria,
by intensive fertilizing and by induc-
ing the rural population to stick to
the farm.
The rural population Of France was
IS per cent Of the total in 1886. 1t
had fallen to 81 per cent in 1906 and
is now less than half the total num-
ber Of Inhabitants. An elaborate pro-
gram of propaganda to popularize
farming and illustrate the most mod
ern farming methods by means OF
moving pictures will be q part OF the
effort to get boys OF country origin
back to the farms.

pretty appearance, it is true, but. I'M
fortunately in radio, pretty is as
pretty does, and it takes more than
any artistic appearance to do the
work.
One of the sO-called advantages OF
the cage is that high tension corona
losses gre reduced to a minimum. If
the amateur is using undamped OsCil-
latIons, that is, using a u tube
transmitter, he need not be concerned
about corona losses. However, if a
damped or spark transmitter is used,
the cage antenna will be advisable.
Also uniform current distribution is
secured by the use of the cage an
tenna. This Is not the case with the
lat.top antenna, where the currents
are not equal, tine outer carrying more
current than the inner wires. From
the foregoing 1t may be said that the
cage antenna is to be preferred to the
1at'top only because of t.Ns reduction
Of the ~hiSh-vOltage corona losses and
because Of the uniform current distri-
button.
1t has been shown that antennae have
certain well defined directiOnal char
acteristics. The one having the most
clearly defined characteristics is the
loop antenna shown in Figure Q.
In actual practice a very satisfac-
DRY type of loop antenna for recep-
tional purposes consists of eight turns
of No. 10 wire, spaced one-eighth, and
wound on a frame SO inches square.
The fundamental wave length of this
antenna Is approximately 1870 meters.
Obviously loop antennae need not
be square. They may be triangular,
circular, or any closed shape, and
their linear dimensions are not nee
eSsarily fixed. Due to their small
dimensions, the amount of energy
picked up by them is also small, and
therefore they should be used only
with several stages of radio frequency
application before the d%etectof. See
Figure 8, in which the loop is shown
with only a detector.
In the hook-up, l. is the loop anten-
ma, and forms the inductance in the
oscillating circuit. G Is the variable
condenser connected across the loop
terminals and is used to tune the loop
to the proper wave length.
A loop antenna in this manneF has
extremely sharp directional CHARACTER
istics and receives signals only from
stations in the plane of the loop That
is, the loop must be parallel to the
direction Of travel of the wave, sent
out by the transmitter.
Many good circuits have recently
been devised whereby loop antennae
are used with success in eliminating
static interference. This elimination
Is accomplished partly by the small
linear dimensions Of the loop and

can be fastened either to a small post
or to a peg driven into the ground.
Due to the fact that the wires of
the umbrella-type antenna cover a
large area of ground, the capacity Of
the antenna is very large. The total
in%ductance, however, is only a little
greater than that of the vertical por-
ton of the antenna.
The umbrella-type antenna has not
found a very wide field of application
i'm commercial or amateur biography.
During the var it was used to some
extent in portable army sets. Due to
its directiOnal characteristics, which
are nil-or in other words, energy is
radiated equally in all directions-it
has found some favor with some high
powered commercial stations for trans
oceanic communication.

ANTENNAE OF OTHER
TYPES ARE DESCRIBED
Cage, Loop and Umbrella Forms
Have Each Certain Advan-
tageS and Special Uses.

, Some Ht the W generation Of
radio amateurs may have been led to
think that the cage antenna is more
efficient tina: other forms. One Of
the arguments advanced for their use
is that they have been adopted by the
United States navv on all ships. There
is q good reason Cor the adoption Of
this type of antennt for the navy, but
1t is not because Of tie great efficiency
Of tht cage type. In ia It, the only rea-
son the cage type is used at all in the
navy is because of the fact that it
would be difficult for an nemy shell
to carry away the anten'1a with a
single shot.
There seems TO be a gO6d deal Of
misinformation on the merits If the
cage-type a~ntenna. They mtse a
