EXAMINATION SHOWS
FARMS ASSESSED 80
Per CENT OF VALUE

Sales which have been recorded dur
ing the last two years of city and
farm property IN Wayne county were
examined by neighbors of the prop
erty owners in 10 townships, meeting
in the farm bureau office, Wednesday
afternoon to determine whether the
prices recorded show fair values as a
basis for revaluation.
These sales have been tabulated by
the state tax commission as a basis
for the revaluation which will be made
this spring 1t has been felt by many
that farm land has been valued at a
greater proportionate share of its real
value than has the city property, max
ling an unfair share of the tax burden
fall on country property.
This conclusion is supported by a
comparison of the actual sale figures
which show farm land assessed at an
average of about 80 per cent of its
appraised value, while city property
is assessed at 81 per cent of the ap
praisement. In addition, the new ap
praisement is expected to show q
smaller decrease in city than in coup
try values, with enough of a drop in
country land prices so that a 100 PEI
cent valuation will in many cases
mean slight decrease in the assessed
value for taxation in 1928.
Examine Sales Lists.
Meeting in the farm bureau office
In the afternoon, farmers from each
township, after an explanatory talk by
Everett Hunt, county president, sep
arated into groups with lists of the
sales in their townships, and examined
them for inflated values, for transfers
that were trades, and also testified as
to more recent sales, unrecorded as
yet, which reflect true present values
Testimony as to these facts was put
into writing for the use of the county
president, who was instructed to at
tend a state tax meeting in Indianap
oils Thursday.
In one case 1t was shown that a
Franklin township farm, traded for q
garage in Ridgeville, had been valued
at an abnormally high figure for bar
gaining purposes in the trade. An
other instance was shown of a Jeffer
son township farm, sold for $4,000 in
1920, which was a 1919 sale at peak
prices, only finished in 1920.
Sells for $4,000.
This farm sold in April of 1921 fol
$4,000. and was bid off again in Jan
uary, 1922 for $4,000. Another JEFF
ferson township farm was quoted in
two consecutive sales, as substantial
decreases, with the last one at $4,000
for which two mortgages Of $4,000
each were given. The last owner
has abandoned the farm and his per
sonal property, despairing of payment
of his debts.
Property sales of farm land and city
lots, in Wayne county, were quoted
as a basis for tax valuations, accord
ing to the following table, which is
compiled from sales during the last
two years.

It Is to work" someone 200 or 300 miles away now.
 One great disadvantage these pio- neers of radio in Birmingham had to encounter was getting material There was no one in town at this time who carried wireless goods, thus everything had to be ordered, which was very inconvenient for several reasons. It took a very long time to get anything as even the people whom these boys had to order from did not carry 8 full line and would have to make substitutions. You can see these pioneers deserve credit for helping radio along as they really aided in keeping the game going when 1t was in a weak stage and have been actively engaged/in this work on up to the present time when 1t is much easier to make sets and keep them in order.
 Our subject this time Is Coleman Gillian (5 D. CD who is one of the pioneers mentioned above. Gillian has been interested in radio for about five years, actively engaged for over four years and a licensed operator fer three years. He has now applied for a special experimental license which he hopes to be working" un- der soon.
 Coleman, of course, started with a, small set as all the rest but it. grew very rapidly and is one of the most complete amateur stations in the city The picture on this page shows the station D G and gives some idea of what it consists of.
 Gillian has two separate receiving and sending sets. The first and most important receiving set Is Zenith
The Birmingham age-herald., 1922-07-30

which Is very good for the reception of broadcasting stations and Is espe- cially good for DIX. work. This set also has a two-stage audio-frequeney amplifier to be used in connection with it which was made by the owner. The second receiving set Is a honey comb coil set for long waves This set also uses a two-step ampli- fer. The Magnavox which may be seen in the picture may be used on either of the sets just mentioned Gillian has two separate aerials for receiving also, one Is very long which he uses or his long wave honeycomb set and the other was de- signed for use in connection with the short wave set already mentioned
 The sending station of this set is just as complete and efficient as the receiving set. As we have already said there are two different sending sets also one of which is a spark transmitter (h XIV. capacity) the other Is a CIV. set which may be used in several ways. It is a 10-watt set for c. w. transmission and 30 watts for phone, that is speech. music, etc. Gillian uses the spark set for local work and the c. W, set for work outside the circle or nearby stations. This antenna system of this station is very good for sending. There ist an aerial of five wires and a fan shaped counterpoise of seven wires. Gillian states that he is going to put fup cage type aerial soon. This should raise his present radiation about one ampere We are glad to see station like this and we hope to see Gillian progress as much in the future as he has in the past.

There are a few amateurs in this scity whom we are especially proud of and want to let the readers of this page hear more about. These anna teurs have taken the radio game as something serious and have gotten something out of it.
 Building a radio set when they started was hard matter and one which took patience and skill There was no one for these "early birds" to go to for information which makes it sound impossible when one thinks of the thousands of questions asked by the bugs" now starting in the game. Radio was by no means, then what 1t Is now from standpoint of perfection. There were some radio phones but not for broadcasting pur- poses. Them was the good ol days" when one really realized the value of getting through a message. Don't think that under all these difficulties there was no pleasure to owning a set. honestly believe it was more exciting to get across town then than

Determining Wave Lengths.

c. CD How can you find out the range of a radio station? Can you reach the same distance with trans mission as with code transmission. If not, why? CD How can you find the natural wave length of a receiv- ing set? Does a receiving set in- crease its power by getting it's wave lengths as near as possible as the waves from the transmitting sta ton? What is the use of the vario- meter and what is the use of a load ing coil? (S) Why are S60 meters, the length of the wave, most used for broadcasting purposes? Could you use a 10000 meter wave, 1000 wave or a 100 wave? How can you determine the wave length that you are going to use? Can you use in the same station three or more dir ferent wave lengths? E. R.
 A. The range of a radio station depends upon the amount of power in use for transmission. There are several other features which enter into the situation, which cannot be governed by any mathematical formula. This is due to local topography and various other causes. Wireless telephony will not travel as far as wireless telegrapny with the same amount of power. The reason for this is because wire less telegraphy deals with signals of a constant amplitude, while wire less telephony deals with the modu- lated output. the modulations being controlled by the voice. and CO., quently, the amplitude Is equal only to the average amplitude of the vary ing infections of the voice.
 r. The natural wave length of a receiving set can only be determined satisfactorily by the use of wave meter. The receiving set increases its sensitivity by getting into exact with the wave length of the transmitting station. This also that you are getting the max imum efficiency out of the amount of energy that is picked up by your aerial. A variometer Is a clever de- vice for tuning the inductance of circuit without any inductive losses due to dead ends, or unused turns. A loading coil is used for the pur- pose of increasing the wave length range of a receiving or transmit ting station. It does not increase the distance over which signals can be transmitted or received, but merely adds to the wave length tun- ing range.

We are again publishing a few of the letters received by W Y (the radiophone broadcasting station Of the Alabama Power company. It is really remarkable how station of this capacity should get such good distance, which is not anything freak. as it is done every night. We wonder what they will do in the win ter after looking at the following letters just received at the Alabama Power company:

 One time all men instinctively re- moved their hats when a woman entered an elevator, then they dis cussed whether it was necessary or not, then with one accord they stopped doing it. Women were get ting too numerous in office build ings.
 Long ago, men arose willingly to give a lady seat in the street car, especially a pretty one. Then for a time they hid behind their newspa- pers and could not see ladies stand. Now. they openly glare at them and let them stand, especially the pretty ones who were plainly made for love only. instead of the workaday world where they are taking the places of men

ernment, which issues the licenses 10 them. The government, however has not got supreme control over this situation, as it is again con trolled by the International Radio Telegraph convention. This conven-
 lon determines just what wave lengths shall be used for various uur- poses in wireless communication. which of course includes radio tele. phony. The 10,000-meter wave. the l,Ooo-meter wave, the 1O0-meter wave, the single meter wave or the oOO00-meter wave could all be used Tor radio telephony. The determina- ton of wave length is governed by we'll defined facts, and is purely an engineering proposition, The wave length that station will emit or receive depends upon the amount or mductance and capacity in the oscillating Cor wireless) circuits These can be designed with tbe greatest degree of accuracy and can be confirmed later by wave meter tests. A transmitting station can send out several wave lengths sim ultaneously without Interference rom the same aerial by using what Is known as the multiple tuned an- tenn3.

 have noticed in several places around town that there are cage aerials on the roofs of houses with only receiving sets. This Is very fool ish as this type aerial Is no better for receiving than a single wire in the same location. If you have a good high and clear place where you can put your aerial and have it about 100 feet long just put up one wire and you will have as good an aerial for receiving as you could get in the same location.
 Using cage aerials is not only to no advantage for receiving but if the re- ceiving set Is a vacuum tube type 1t will interfere with nearby receiving sets as the one with the cage aerial will radiate continuous waves as a radiophone and thus cause inter- ference.
 Though If these aerials are put up for sending purposes they are fine for radiation.
