PRESIDENT PLANS COMEBACK
Says Servants Denied Him Food and
Drink 10 Force Him Out Of office.

Pekin-Former President Ii Yuan
Hung, who fed from Picking and re-
signed his office upon threat OF a mu-
tiny OF the army, is now arranging to
recall his resignation.
The former president is telling wild
tales about the manner in which he
was forced out Of office. He declares
the police conspired with his servants
in refusing to give him food or water,
which is untrue, because visitors had
lunch and tea with him daily after
the militarists announced they would
no longer support him.

FLOODS SWEEPING OKLAHOMA
Arkansas River at Highest Stage In
Hlstory-One Death Reported.

Tulsa, OEa.-With 5000 to 1000
people driven from their homes by
food waters of the Arkansas river,
Tulsa was in the grip of the worst
food in its history. The Arkansas
was higher han at any time since
records have been kept here.
The only ray of cheer to those who
fed as the muddy waters encroached
on their homes was word from Ralston.
70 miles northwest Of here, that the
crest had passed.
Approximately 5000 refugees have
left the area between Tulsa and Sand
Springs, finding shelter in Sand
Springs park, and in the homes OF
relatives and friends.
The number of refugees from West
Tulsa is estimated at 1000.

A SeIective Portable.

There is an unlimited field for good
single tube portable SET circuits. Any
regene-ative type OF circuit will give
good volume on a single tube. The
main problem is 70 use a type OF tun-
ing unit that will permit maximum Sc
lectiyiTy. In the lookup illustrated a
yariocOupier is used IN conjunction
with variable condenser for the tun-
ing unit-the rotor supplies the feed

The circuit is not primarily intended
for loop aerial reception, although one
end can be connected 10 the anteuna
post, the other end left open, and
regular ground connection used.
When so connected, some very good
