The consensus of opinion among
amateur and a great many protes-
sional radio experimenters is that
loop reception is impracticable win
less than two or three stages of radio
frequency amplification and a like
number Of stages of audio-freQuency,
especially on the shorter wave
lengths that are assigned by the gov
ernment to the amateur and broad-
: casting stations. according to l.. M.
Dunnam. In fact, he said, he had on
several occasions tried various sized
loops in different hook-ups on all
wave lengths with Indifferent success.
One night during the winter when
static was painful to the ears with
the outdoor antenna and ground con-
nections disconnected for some care

the signals were weak, they were
clear and readable. entirely free from
the heavy static prevailing at the
time. The receiver used was the con-
ventional regenerative, with spider
web coils for the primary, secondary
and tickler ~fnductances.
Coil as Small Loop.
This test proved, of course, that the
secondary coil was functioning as a
small loop. Then the possibilities Of
an enlarged part of the secondary
coil in the form of a loop of larger
dimensions was quickly realized, and
various experiments were made by
him cutting out inductance in the
spider-web secondary and adding it
in the loop. until only enough wind
ing was left on the sRider-web to
furnish a coupling to the primary
coil, apd feedback from the TICKLE
Every turn added in the loop re-
suited in greater signal strength.
Then the "loop coupler" was tried
out, and with excellent results.
Primary Coil in Center.
The '1oop coupler consists of the
entire secondary inductance, permit
ting a greater energy-collecting area
when used as loop alone. In the
center of the loop frame is a primary
coil, which is brought into use when
antenna and ground connections are
desired, and rotates to provide the
proper coupling.
Using the above arrangement and
only two stages of audio-frequency
amplification CIV, and radiophone sta
tionS have been heard clearly and
with good signal strength, with abso-
lutely no antenna or ground cennec-
tions-in fact, loud enough at times
to be readable around the room on a
loud-speaker.

THE GROUND.

The ground connection or earth
ing of an antenna system is quite
important. The earth ground is, of
course, connection made to the
earth itself. The cauRterpoise
ground is conductor or a system
of conductors stretched beneath the
antenna and either laid upon the
ground or elevated slightly above it.
There are many methods of con-
structing counterpoise grounding sys-
TENS. In either the case of the direct
or counterpoise ground there. is
formed, in effect, a plate of con-
denser which is opposite that formed
by the antenna. The conductor con-
Meeting the apparatus to the ground
ing system is called the ground
lead"
The antenna and ground form an
oscillatory circuit because OF the
capacity effect and the inductance
due to length of the wires In prac-
tice it is customary to include coil
in the system for the purpose of Sc
curing an electromagnetic coupling
with another circuit. This other cir
cult may be that in which oscilla-
tiops are generated Gin sending
set) or a circuit which is interposed
between the antenna and trans
lating circuit Gin a receiving set).
The oscillating circuit thus comprises
antenna, coupling coil and grounding
system. The condenser effect be-
tween antenna and ground provides a
circuit which is closed, SO far as os-

PLANT A FALL GARDEN.

A well-kept vegetable garden is a
source not only of profit to the gar
dener, but of pleasure to the entire
family. For many vegetables which
deteriorate rapidly in quality after
being gathered, the only practicable
means of securing the best is to grow
them at home. This is especially
true of many of the vegetables which
may be planted during the period
from Aug. 10 to Sept. 10.
A half acre garden should produce
as much in money value for labor,
time and money expended as or
acres in general farm crops.
In most sections of our state, tho
vegetables can be grown in nearly
every month of the year, the garden
is neglected; in fact, no feature of
our farming systm is more neglected
than the production of vegetables for
home use.
From Aug. 10 to Sept. 10, the ma
jority of vegetables produced in the
spring garden, can be planted for fall
garden, and will reach maturity be-
fore cold weather. The following
vegetables can be planted in South
ern Mis- sjissippi during August: cab
bage, turnips, cauliflower, Irish po-
tatoes, satisfy, sugar corn, (Aug. 15)
snap beans, pole beans, cucumbers,
(Aug. 15.)
September: Spinach, onions, col
lards. turnips, English peas. beets,
radish, mustard. strawberries. The
following vegetables can be planted
in Central Mississippi during Aug
ust:- Cabbage (seed). collards, tur-
nips, beets, snap beans (Aug. 15),
pole beans (Aug. 15).
September Carrots, spinach, on
ions, turnips, beets, radish, mustard,
lettuce, strawberries, celery (plants)
The following vegetables can be
planted in Northern Mississippi dur
ing August: Collards, beets.
September Carrots, spinach, on
ions, beets, radishes, mustard, let
tuce, strawberries, celery (plants).
When we realize that such variety
of vegetables can be grown in our
fall gardens, is there any logical
reason for spending our hard earn
ed money for vegetables grown dur
ing these months in the Northern
States and shipped into our state
yielding an enormous profit to the
several agencies which handle them.

Capt. John A. Penn Dies.

1t is with profound regret the
Leader notes the death of Capt. John
A. Penn, one of the most admirable
gentlemen and most valiant citizens
Brookhayen has known. Mr.. Penn
possessed an indomitable spirit, an
undying energy, persistent opti-
mism and an abiding loyalty to his
devoted family and the friends who
knew and cherished. His presence al
ways brought sunshine and his chiv-
alrous manner, his kindly spirit, per-
meated always the place he occupied
among his friends whether the time
was long or short, as he passed or
paused in the long-accustomed paths.
Capt. Penn was born at Covington,
La, Sept. %, 1843, and spent much
of his early manhood in New Orleans.
He was Confederate Veteran and
belonged to the Seventh Louisiana
Regiment and was on Gen. Magee's
staff of the U. c. VS.. He was gem
orally present at the meetings of
Sylvester Gwin Camp and it was al
ways a great deprivation, when he
was unable to attend the Confeder-
dlO lO-Ou1On5 VI NClSldAl6 VI lnC w y.
After days of patient waiting, Mr..
Penn's bright spirit fed on Tuesday
morning, Aug. 18th, in the early
hours of the day. About his bedside
were his wife and children as fol-
lows:- John Penn, of Magnolia;
Ben c., of Greenville; Mrs. /. B. Sta
cy, of Helena, Ark; Mrs. S. M. Trip
lett, Brooksville; Mrs. S. e. Cuney,
BrookhaVen, and several grandchild-
rem.
The funeral services were observ-
ed at the home, Rev. w. H. Lewis
officiating in the presence of a large
number of friends and relatives who
also attended the casket with its
cortal clay on it's last journey to the
Silent City of the Dead. Beautiful
flowers covered the last resting place
and memories of the long life spent
in Brookhaven came and went in
quick succession as realization came
that life must go on without him
who in his home and in his commun-
ity had made large place in the
hearts of all who knew him.
Mr.. Penn was member of the
Methodist Church. In his last days
he said II wish I had gone to church
more"-'I wish had read my Bible
more" HIS end was peace.
Sympathy is extended all bereaved
in the death that has come.

HIGHWAYS IMPORTANT ISSUE AT
NOVEMBER ELECTION.

With the November elections only
three months distant, the proposed
amendment to Section ITO of this
Mississippi Constitution, giving the
State Highway Department control
over seven per cent State Highway
System, looms as one Of the most inn
portant issues under consideration.
This amendment would take seven
per cent Of the roads, the main trunk
highways, from under control Of the
boards Of supervisors, and combine
them into one connected State High
way System, which would be under
the control of the State Highway De-
partment for construction and main
tenance.
Opponents of this amendment hold
that this is one of a series Of steps
that are rapidly changing the DEM
ocracy of the United States into an
Imperialistic nation and that unless
this movement is checked, another
quarter Of a century will see Uni
ted States, in which States Rights
are thing of the past, and the rule
of the few is supreme.
Advocates of this measure, who
seem to be in the decided majority,
hold these views to be ridiculous and
entirely unfounded, and back up
their statements with facts. The
amendment will in no way place a
single mile of Mississippi roads un-
der Federal authority, but will SIM
ply transfer the control of seven per
cent of the roads from the counties
to the State Highway Commission,
which is elected by the people, and
is responsible to the people. They
hold that the fact. that unless this
amendment is passed, Mississippi
will cease to participate in Federal
aid allotments, alone Is sufficient
reason for its adoption, since this
would mean the loss of millions of
dollars to this State annually. Fully
fifty per cent of the road work going
on in Mississippi at present, is being
done with the aid of Federal funds,
but according to Federal law, unless
the State is given control over State
Highway System, upon which these
funds may be expended, these allot-
ments will cease. This clause was
inserted by the Governmnt in the
1921 appropriations to insure main
tenance of newly constructed roads,
and avoid repetition of the tremen-
dous losses which resulted from i'm,
proper maintenance of roads built
with funds appropriated in 1916.
Another very convincing argument
advanced by the advocates Of the
proposed change. is that connected
State Highway System will be under
the control of one central authority,
and will be managed as system, and
not in small sections of few miles
as is done under the present consti-
tuition. In this way, the most i'm
portant roads will receive the atten-
tion of trained engineers who will
have the authority and equipment to
watch the roads closely, and act i'm
mediately in case of need of repairs.
This, it is argued, will relieve the
counties of the burden of maintain
ing these roads, and allow them to
devote the county tax to roads of less
er Importance, which are at present
neglected. State Highway Depart
ment.

AMERICANS ABROAD e0N BUsI-
NESS.p

1t is said that Americans en- tour
in foreign countries this summer are
not on pleasure bent It's "for bus
mess reasons!
A correspondent suggests the fol-
lowing:
What is the explanation? l am
sure that do not know. but have
been wondering whether 1t did not
have something to do with your in
come tax system. OF course, / am
not familiar with all of the chang
ing regulations and rulings of your
Treasury Department, but am in
clined to suspect that thousands of
Americans this year have made up
their minds that If they are travelling
for business they can deduct their
expenses from their income returns.
"See for yourself. II only a mod
est $1,000 were to be spent the indi-
vidual would save quite few dol
properly itemized on their return, at
least pay for the troublesome vises
they have had to get on their pass
ports, and you know there is no ex-
penditure for the entire trip that so
gals the traveller as this enc of pay
ing to have the passport stamped
and written upon"
A well-known member Of the A
merican colony had the same state
ment to make. He said of all his
friends he had encountered this year
some of them at very fashionable re-
sorts on the French and Belgian
coasts thew made ahOi1t fha same re-
ply: We'll, of course am resting
as much as / can, but / had some
important business to transact in
Berlin and London and had to make
the trip"
From all of which one gets the
impression that business must be
very brisk in the United States just
at the present time.
