We have already spoken of the great
difference between the two kinds OF
radio receiving sets. One kind, we
said, uses a piece Of mineral called a
crystal for detector; the other kind
uses a specially designed incandcscent
electric light for detector.
The very word "detector" sounds
technical and the average layman. not
particularly interested in electricity,
will say impatiently. "Oh, cut out
these fancy names and let's get down
to brass tacks."
But it's so easy to understand the
functions of detector and It's so
much better to know about 1t that
a few minutes spent considering the
subject will repay any one.
1t really shouldn't be called a de-
tector. 1t doesn't really DO the de-
tecting. 1t simply straightens out the
currents In the receiving set 30 that
the telephones and the human ears can
detect them.
Radio sets might be likencd to the
broad main street of great city. Stand
on the pavement and watch the auto
mobiles on the street. There are thou
sands Of them going in both directions
up and down 50 fast and in
such great numbers that 1t almost
makes you dizzy to watch them.
That's the way with the electric
currents In radio set. The current
is what Is called "alternating'--that

built and properly maintained gravel
road should give and would give ex-

der light traffic. If a gravel road
will last ten years the financing
should terminate then or before. 1t
would be better to use the 'spay-as-
you-go" method in the case OF grave
roads.
Closely related to the problems OF
construction are those of mainte-
nance. No road $ ever a finished
product. 1T requires constant main
tenance to keep it in good shape, and
the kind Of maintenance it gets bears
greatly on the upkeep cost. by
proper maintenance is meant the up
keeping OF the highway in such
manner as to insure at all times a
reasonably smooth travelling surfa ce.
This is brought about by additional
funds which may be obtained by tax
ing the people, and no good citizen
would resent being taxed after con
siderfng the vast benefits derived
from good roads.

owns $1,000 farm when is assess
ed at 5000, and estimate his tax
burden Tor roads as forty cents on
the hundred dollars, as this is about
the average tax. This annual outlay
for roads would be $1,000. Against
this he must place the saving in wear
and tear on his teams and wagons:
the opportunity he has gained by
| hauling larger loads, Of doing his
hauling at all seasons of the year,
and OF saving time in making his
trips to the market. 1t would be
safe to say that the average possesso;,
of $1,000 farm would gladly pay
such Tax per year in return for a
guarantee of these benefits. This
would also reduce the cost of mark
citing.
Tourists are demanding unlimited
miles Of fair roads ahead with safe
bridges and constant oil supply
and then they can eat breakfast, din
ner and supper in as many different
States. Foreigners judge our coun-
try by what is seen by the roadside.
Road construction furnishes en-
ployment for approximately one mil
ion men.
Although the cost of the roads
run up into high figures, when we
consider the dollar-for-dollar basis
of Federal aid, government equip
ment, such as surplus war materials
not needed by the War Department,
which are applicable for road con-
struction, and the collection of
license fees on all vehicles, which go
into the treasury for the construc-
tion and upkeep of roads, brings the
cost to small consequence. Besides
the above mentioned help, the Post
office Department appropriated $780,
100000 iii 1919 for rural post roads
and $9,00O,000 additional for forest
roads. Then, too, convict labor can
be used, which will help diminish the
cost of roads.
Road building is not a thing that
can be run through with in hurry,
