train near Annadale, Saturday
search OF the debris fer the bodies
or more victims continued today.
The splintered remains of one of
the three coaches which was hurled
from the track when Fred Lamar, a
truck driver, tried to sprint ahead
OF the speeding train. is still to be
removed today. There is a possibil-
ity, Workmen believe, that the
wreckage may cover the bodies Of
two or more death victims.
Nine OF the dead had been ident.
fed and arrangements made for
their funerals With the exception
OF half dozen persons, most Of the
40 injured in the wreck were we'll
on the way to recovery today. Two
OF the injured were being cssred for
here and the others in Minneapolis.
The wreck occurred when an oil
truck driven by Fred Lamar was
struck by the PASSENGER traiQ. The
truck broke a switch and crashed in
to the engine OF freight train
stan ding on the side rack The en-
gine Of the freight was turned over
and three passenger coaches split
the switch and plowed into the
freight train.
Trainmen said they had warned
Lamar Of the cncoming ]. passenger
train but that he did not heed them.
When the first crash came, as the
train struck the trSck. passengers
were thrown from their seats. la
mar was thrown under the wheels
or the engine and decapitated. An
unidentified man who was riding
with him was killed.
The secend crash, as the thirteen
coaches broke away from the engine

THINGS BEGINNERS
MUST LEARN FIRST
Explanation Of Terms Used in
Radio and Of Its Basic
Principles.

Due to the great interest taken in ra-
do since ~broadcasting stations have
been started, many radio terms are
seen and heard that may be unfamiliar
to the novice, Some Of the most COM
monty used terms are explained and
defined below.
Like light, heat and sound, radio
energy is ~propagated In the form Of a
wave motion. Every n is familiar
with the wave motion set up on the
surface Of a still body Of water by the
dropping Of a stone into It.
Every time a point on the surface
OF the waves goes through a complete
Bet Of motions and starts to repeat
those motions the wave is said to have
gone through a cycle.
The number Of complete cycles gone
through per second is the frequency.
The human a is responsive to
sound f~requencies up to q few thousand
cycles per second but is not capable Of
responding to the higher frequencies
encountered in radio. Arbitrarily a
frequency of less than 10000 cycles
has been called an audible frequency
lone which can be heard-and frei
Quencies above $4,000 cycles, radio or
inaudible observation-disclosures they
cannot be heard by the human ear.
The particular type of wave which
~propagates radio energy is an electro
magnetic wave. All Of us have seen
bits of iron and steel attracted by the
little toy magnets made up in the formf
Of horseshoes. This attraction of the
magnet for the bits Of iron and steel
showed the existence of a magnetic

The high-frequency current Is know
as the carrier-waye and its function
is 10 radiate into space In the form OF
electromagnetic wave and by its va
Ration in amplitude carry with 1t the
variation In the tone at the transmit
ting station.
It is the frequency of the carrier
wave that determines the w~avelengtb
on which a radiophone station is trans
mitted. BY experiment 1t has been
found that electromagnetic waves
travel at the same velocity that light
waves travel, that is, 10000 miles per
second. Wave-length Is the distance
between any two similar points on two
successive waves; for example, the dis
lance from crest to crest Of any two
successive waves In the same direction.
measured in meters, q, unit Of length
equal approximately to n and one
tenth yards. Converting 10000 miles
to meters, the equivalent is 300,000,000
meters. The length of an electro-mag-
netlc wave is equal then to 300.000,000
divided by the frequency. Suppose a
station was transmitting on a wave
length of SEQ meters. The frequency
of the carrier-waye would be approx
mately $4,000 cycles.
Just as a violinist tunes his instru-
ment, that is, makes a certain string
emit a note Of higher Or lower pitch,
or, technically speaking. a sound wave
of higher or lower frequency, by ad-
the tension IN the string, so
may the electrical constants Of the
antenna circuit Of a radiophone trans
be changed in order to have
the station emit a carrier-wave Of a
different frequency.
II a tuning fork having a natural
corresponding to middle c be
placed near a violinist who is playing,
the fork will Vibrate when the must
clan plays middle G, but all other times
It will remain quiescent. This phenom-
enon of the tuning fork vibrating
whenever the musician plays the cor
responding note on the violin is known
as mechanical resonance. If a radio
receiver be adjusted so that electrically

electrical resonance. Stations trans
hitting on any wayelength other than
800 meters will not cause a current
to be set up in the receiver.
The portion of a radio receiver that
changes the wave-length at which 1t
ID electrically resonant IL called a
tuner. Suppose that "A" station trans
mits on a wave-length Of 200 meters
and 'B" ON a waye-length Of SEQ me
tiers. BY adjusting the tuner until the
constants Of the receiver make It cleo
trically resonant to q 20O-meter wave
or a 860-meter wave, either OF the two
stations can be picked up, but both
stations cannot be picked i simuIta.
neously. This Is the reason that more
than transmltter can be operating
at one time and vet only one can be
heard on a receiver without interfer-
ence from the others.
The other necessary part OF q radio
receiver Is the detector. The function
OF this portion Of the receiver is to
utilize the small currents In the tuner
that are set up BY a transmitting sta
ton and make them audible through
the medium Of a telephone receiver. If
the telephone receiver were connected
directly to the tuner the high-frequency
current would not operate the dia-
phragm Of the receiver and even II the
diaphragm were set in motion it would
be too fast a motion to be picked up
by the human ear.
In q simple receiver the detector us
ually consists of two pieces OF mineral
In contact or a piece Of mineral in con.
tact with q metallic spring. Either
combination Is known as a crystal de-
tector. A detector Of this type Is moth
ing more than a rectifier; that Ii, when
an alternating current Is applied at the
terminals the current Ia allowed to
flow only In one direction.

for q carriage and a prancing pair,
but there were only riding horses at
Crownlands now, and three Of these
were looking over the wan at the
grass-grown road. And Richard found
Harriet here.
She was on her knees, In the pleas
ant green shadow of thesbld sycamores
and naples; her back was toward him.
She was looking up into the face Of
the old stableman, Trotter, who stood
before her, his crooked, dwarfed old
figure still further bent, as he held
two strong young ewes by their thick,
woolly shoulders.
As Trotter gave him a respectful
good morning, Harriet sprang to her
feet and whirled about and Richard
saw the woodeny stiff legs of a very
young lamb dangling from her arms
and the lambs meek little black-rub-
Der face close to the beautiful face he
loved.
"0h, Richard she said, carried
away by her own delight. "Look at
It'll Isn't 1t the sweetest darling baby
that ever was! Oh, you sweet" she
said, putting her lips to the little WOOL
~ head.
You arel" Richard said quite with
out reconciliation.
Harriet laughed, surrendered the
little lamb to Trotter and followed
the old mans departure to the stables
with an anxious warning.

ure all to themselves" she explained

Inc. against the low brick wall, made
no immediate attempt to move, she
looked at him expectantly. "Shall

"That sounded very pleasant to me-"
Richard said with deliberate irrele-
vance.
Harriet looked at him in puzzled
silence.
II mean your calling me Richard"
he said.
She flushed brightly and laughed.

"Tm-Tn confess I'm disappointed.
But to have Nina want to do anything

field about the tips OF the magnet and
this same kind Of a field propagates
the electromagnetic force, except that
unlike the toy magnet, Its power comes
of In the form of wavy motions. This
electromagnetic force propagates RAJ
do energy In all directions.
The medium that transmits the cleo
tro-magnetic waves Is the same me
dunn that transmits light--the ether.
This medium is supposed to fill all
space, ave that occupied BY fluids and
solids, Little is known about Its prop
critics.
In radio 1t Is more common to speak
OF wave length than frequency. The
wave length Of any wave motion is the
distance between any two successive
crests IA the same direction. The
wave length depends upon the FREE
quency. If the frequency Is high the
wave length is short. On the other
hand II the frequency Is low the wave
length Is long. Numerically the wave
length is equal to the distance trav-
eled by the wave In one second divided
by the frequency Suppose, for ex-
ample, that 1t were desired to know
the wave length Of an electromagnetic
wave having a frequency Of $4,000
cycles. electromagnetic waves travel
at the same speed as do light waves.
that is, 10000 miles per second. d.
yidlng the $4,000 BY $4,000 the wave
length would be .223 miles or 800
yards. In radio work it is measured
In meters. A meter IL equal to APP
proxlmatelv Ia yards. Converting 500
yards into meters the wave length
would be $50 divided by IL or 800
meters. This Ia the wave length on
which KDKA operates. 1t also means
that the electromagnetic waves sent
ont from this station have q frequency
DC $4,000 cycles.
FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES
In q radiophone transmitter there
are two requirements that must be-
fulfilled, First. there must be q source
Of high-frequency current, say, betweeil
1900 and 100000 cycles SO con-
nected to an antenna and ground sys-
tenn that energy In the form Of electro
