fewer ELECTION
DAYS IN MARYLAND
Measure Which Is Passed in
Legislature Had Been Held
Up by Boilers.

BALTIMORE. Nd, March s1.-A
special dispatch from Annapolis to
the Sun says:
The bill for fewer elections in
Maryland. which, If adopted at the
polls. will revolutionize Maryland's
election system, was put through the
vote of II for 1t to only 81 against
it-seven more than the necessary
constitutional majority.
The measure had failed the day be-
fore for want of a constitutional ma :
jority, when ten democratic members
bolted their party platform pledge.
Some Boilers Return.
Six Of the ten boilers lined up with
their party forces yesterday. how
the day before were on hand yester-
day. and another republican Joined
the two who had voted with the
democrats. The vote of 81 for the
bill the day before. therefore. was
increased to II yesterday.
The four democrats who voted yes
terday against the bill were:

ty.
j. kiefrer Funk, Washington coun-
ty.

Passage of the measure marked a
triumph for the administration forces
and the party forces in the house led
by Majority Floor Leader Stephen w.
Gambrill. 1t was conceded as late as
yesterday morning that the bill was
still In a dangerous position and that
much work was needed to get the ad-
ditional votes necessary to reconsider
Wednesdays vote and pass the bill.

bill soon learned that their fight had
been lost and their forces began to
disintegrate shortly after the house
reconvened following the luncheon
recess.
Bill Goes to Governor.
The bill now is ready for Gov.
Ritchie's signature, having passed the
senate by a vote of % to 8.
1t is the last OF that trinity of demo-
cratic platform pledges on which the
campaign was fought principally-re-
organization, increased representation
and fewer elections-to receive final
approval from both branches of the
legislature. The first two named al
ready have been signed by the gov
ernor. The bill passed yesterday will
be signed before the end OF the week.
1t is the last big measure also-with
the exception of the budget-present-
ed at the opening days of the legis-
lature as part of the administrator s
program on which the governor had
been working for more than year.

WOULD INCREASE COURTS
DISCRETIONARY POWER
Chief Justice Taft Says Docket
Could Be Cleared if Fewer
Appeals Were Considered.

Enactment of legislation which
would increase the discretionary
power of the United States Supreme
Court to review cases would enable
the court to catch up with its docket
and to dispose of it's business with
greater dispatch, Chief Justice Taft
yesterday tolc the House judiciary COM
mittee. He urged passage of a bill
introduced by Representative Walsh,
republican. Mass, at the request of
Supreme Court justices, which would
redefine the jurisdiction of the
court and of circuit courts Of appeal.
Under existing law. the Chief JUS
tice said. the Supreme Court Is
obliged to review certain classes OF
cases. The pending bill, he explained,
would remove large number of
such to the discretionary class.
Effect of the enactment of the
measure, the committee was told,
would be to increase the final juris--
diction of circuit courts of appeal
and to cut off many direct appeals
from district courts to the Supreme
Court.

RADIO EXPLAINED
~ By F.. H. LEWIS
INSTRUCTOR New MoRK YMC.A. RADIO SCHOOL

In operation the two condensers,
in shunt to each other. are SO ad-
justed that the sum of their capaci-
ties will be correct for a resonant
adjustment of the circuit. That Is.
the secondary circuit is tuned to
resonance with minimum capacity in
the small condenser. The motor is
then started and the capacity of the
small condenser varies from minimum
to maximum and back to minimum
value for each complete rotation of
the movable plates. The secondary
circuit is then actually in resonance
only once for each revolution of
these moving plates. Each time there
is resonance during the revolutions
the telephone receiver diaphragm is
actuated and produces click. There
fore. the number of clicks per sec
ond-that is, the tone of the sound
produced in the telephones-depend
only upon the number of revolutions
per second of the rotating condenser.
In this manner the energy of the
continuous oscillations created by the
passing undamped waves Is dis
charged through the telephones at
an audible frequency rate. and it is
possible to use a crystal rectifier to
produce the necessary rectification.

New Apparatus and Devices

has comparatively little reluctance,
there being a double magnetic path
between the pole pieces. The air
spaces are thin and the flux from
the permanent magnet does not have
to pass lengthwise through the arma-
ture. These features of the mag
netic circuit favor a strong fiux and
permanency of magnetiZation.
The loss of power by hysteresis
and eddy currents is reduced to a
minimum and the effect of the wind
ing upon the armature is utilized
at both ends and on both sides at
each end The diaphragm, being of
thin mica, is very light and sensi-
tive and the total weight of all
moving parts is only a fraction of
the weight of the common steel
diaphragm. The headband is very
simple and it's construction will be
easily understood from the illustra-
tion. 1t fits snugly and will not pull
the hair. The phones are easily and
quickly adjusted to any head size
and may be worn for long period of
time without discomfort.

ROTATING CONDENSER

Although a crystal detector is US
ually used for the reception of
damped wave or modulated continu-
Gus waves. it may be used with auxil-
iary devices for the reception Of
straight. continuous wave telegraph
signals. One such device is rotat-
ing condenser. In the customary
tuned secondary circuit a variable
air condenser is connected across the
secondary inductance coil. Across
this condenser and. therefore, across
the inductance also we could place a
very small variable air condenser and
arrange it so that the movable plates
could be continuously rotated. This
could be done by fastening a small
pulley to the shaft which carries
the movable plates and betting this
to another pulley on the shaft of a
small motor. The motor can then
he left running as long as signals
are received and will continuously
vary the capacity of the small con-
denser between maximum and min
imum values
