BOOZE RUNNERAT
NEW YORK SEIZED
Scores of Launches Waiting
to Take Off Liquor Escape
in Raid.

NEW YORK, June 3--Federal
prohibition agents early today
seized the ocean-going tug Ripple
in the harbor off Brooklyn. arrest
ed twelve members of her crew
and fired thirty pistol shots at
nearly a score of launches which
had gathered to take off cargo of
liquor.
AS the agents had no craft, the
launches escaped.
The tug, which was used as a
mine layer during the war, arrlv-
ed off Ambrose Light three days
ago but waited until last night
before attempting to slip into the
harbor.
According to the agents, the tug
communicated by wireless with a
bootleggers wireless station, CIV
ing the time of her arrival. Under
protection of fog, the Ripple
sneaked up through the narrows
and the launches soon appeared,
acting as a CONVOY.
There was a leak in the plans
somewhere however, and seven
agents, disguised as longshore-
men, searched the water front,
finally locating the tug near the
Erie basin. The agents said they
saw cases of liquor, wrapped in
burlap. transferred from the tug
to a lighter.
At a signal, the agents, who
meanwhile had been reinforced by
a detail of police, rushed for the
tug. The lookout shouted a warn
ing and the fleet of motor boats
scurried in all directions while the
agents emptied their pistols at
them.
When the agents climbed on
board the tug they said they saw
the crew throwing rifles into the
water. There was a hand to hand
struggle before Ine crew was ar
rested

The greatest achievement one

LINKING MOVIE AND RADIO
British Scientists Have Some Success
in Wireless Transmission OF
Motion Pictures.

British scientists are reported to
have met with more or less success in
developing a method of transferring
motion pictures by radio. Some
months ago photograph was trans
ferred by wireless from the Copen-
hagen newspaper, the Politiken, to Eng
land, and later from England to ship
In mid Atlantic, so that the POSSIBLE
lty of linking the movies with the new
art is not remote.
If perfected the new development Of
the already versatile art will make it
possible for one to see on his own re-
ceiving instrument things that are hap
pening at great distance. For
Instance, ship is sinking at sea. The
transmitting station of the vessel, in
stead Of sending message of the dis
aster, sends picture that anyone with
a receiving set will be able to see just
as the present broadcasting programs
are heard.
That all sounds remote now, but
the telephone was considered even
more so, and the wireless, even after
Marconi's immortal message had
bridged the Atlantic, was generally be-
Heved to be akin to the idea of per-
petual motion.

HOW AMATEUR CAN
BUILD A RECEIVER
Instructions for Setting Up the
Antenna and for Assembling
the Tuner.

In order to pick up sufficient energy
with the simple radio receiving set
it is necessary to connect one termi-
nal to an antenna consisting of one or
more wires suspended in the air and
insulated from all grounded material
and the other terminal to a ground,
usually the water supply pipe. The
height Of an antenna used with
small receiver should not be less than
80 feet. As the received energy va
ries directly as the height of an anten-
ma, the higher the antenna the louder
will be the signals or voice produced.
The length Of an antenna for short
wave reception should not be less than
80 feet nor should it be longer than
200 feet. The minimum wave length
to which a simple receiver can be
adjusted for electrical resonance will
be above that used by amateurs If
the receiver be connected to an an
tenna 200 feet or more in length.
A simple radiophone receiver cap
able Of picking up radiophone sta
tons similar to KDKA at East Pitts
burgh, can be assembled by a novice
for from "a to SIS, depending upon
the builders ability to use his hands.
II the builder will construct most Of
his apparatus he will appreciate it
much more and probably will under
stand more about it's operation than
If he buys q set already made. How
ever, for those who have not the abil-
ity or the time to spend constructing
their own apparatus the following de-
scription will not only give the details
as to the construction of each COM
ponent part Of a receiver but also
what standard ready-made parts can
be purchased and used in it's stead.
The material can be purchased at
any electrical supply store.
In erecting simple antenna for
use with the receiver shown in the
diagram, the antenna proper and the
lead-1n are Of stranded hard-drawn
copper wire, strand No. %, costing
about cent per foot. The two insu-
lators are of nodded material and can
be purchased for about Is cents each.
The antenna shown is supported be-
tween q house and pole. 1t may be
found more convenient to support it
between tree and a house, two houses
or even between two chimneys on
the same house. In bringing down the
lead-in care should be taken that it
is kept as far away from grounded
material as possible and when bring
ing through the wall or under the win
dow into the house it should be brought
through some sort Of an insulating
tube, such rs rubber or bakelite.
In making the ground connection
the same kind of wire can be used as
was purchased for the antenna. You
can clean section of the waterpipe
thoroughly and solder the ground wire
tC It. ~"~+ .."'
