EXPECTS BOOM IN BUSINESS

Professor Fisher is probably the best-known economist in the country. For this reason, perhars, his views command more than or dinarv attention and derive a peculiar sig nifcance generally associated only with the views of men who hold great power Tn the business.
 When recently approached by The Maga- zine of Wall Street on the subject of the business outlook in this country, Professor Fisher made more than an ordinary attempt to avoid any appearance of ambiguity ana answered the questions put to him in the most straichtforward and uncompromlslng fashion, For that reason, his answers attain unusual importancc. Parenthetically, it may be re- marked that it will be interesting to see alter the course of a few months just how justified Professor Fisher was in assuming hls optl- mistic attitude on the business outlook.
 Among the first questions put to Professor Fisher by an editor of this publication was one of probably the greatest interest to business men: to wit: "Do you consider that the pres ent recovery in general business simply marks a reation from the depression of 192O-l92l' or that it is prelude of a fully sustained boom to continue for considerable business to come?' The answer to this question came quickly and with directness: 'ln my oplnlon' the increased activity of industry in the United States during the past few months may be seriously regarded as a preparatory stage of considerably increased industrial and business activity in the near future, and it may be con- sidered significant sign of the development of boom that should be sustained for a considerable period.''

SENATOR OWEN HAS HIS LITTLE JOKE

Senator Owen, of Oklahoma, in a speech at dinner in honor of Senator elect Ferris: at Detroit on February 22nd, said: "lt was the Democrats that demanded and carried into effect the public education of the people and built up the common schools. The ad- vance of liberty, the education, the intelligence of the people, has been steadily fostered and promoted by the Democrats of America y
 Democratic devotion to public education and the common schools is demonstrated to Sen ator Owens satisfaction, doubtless, by the fact that it will be made statistically clear to any one who cares to go to the trouble to look up the thing in the World Almanac or any other authoritative publication, that percent ages of illiteracy, not only black but white illiteracy are high in exact proportion to the size of Democratic majorities in the several states. The states which lag at the tail end of the national procession in the matters of public and private provision for education are the states which compose the Solid South, the backbone of the Democratic party nation

This makes a total of $500,000,000 the mines of Alaska have yielded, 97 per cent of this coming from deposits of gold, silver and copper So far, as everybody admits, the surface of the Territory is hardly scratched; unknown re- sources still are hidden there; and many of them will be enriching civilization long after the present prosperous generation has disap- peared. The chief Alaskan geologist of the United States Geological Survey, wonderful organization of which the public is too slightly familiair- r-admits that the metal industry has been handicapped by the lack of fuel, but adds that the coal mining done during the year has supplied the most urgent need for cheaper fuel along the Alaskan Railroad. The chief need of Alaska is not to throw open its re- sources to the exploiting rapacity of a few. but to simplify the abundant red tape which strangles the good intentions of the many ln- dividual settlers who wishs to live and thrive and develop sound American commonwealth in that fine Territory.-Detroit News.

 An investigator reports that "when retail stores fail it is almost invariably found that the bulk of their stock is in non-advertsed goods.'

FURTHER ADVICE ON
PUTTING UP ANTENNA
Two Types Of Counterpoise De-
scribed-Energy Losses Min
imized by Proper Location.

It has been stated In previous ar.
ticles that an antenna system consists
Of q sO-called aerial and ground. In
certain forms the ground Is also known
as a counterpoise.
Sometimes a counterpOise Is made
up In a fofm similar to the aerial and
LIZ suspended beneath 1t. To certain
extent this Is true Of the counterpoise
used on airplanes, which is made up
Of all the metal parts Of the plane.
When the earth is dry or rocky, and
consequently poor conductor Of cleo
tricity, counterpoise consisting of
network of wires is laid on the ground
and directly underneath the horizontal
part Of the antenna. If it Is desired to
install this form of cOunterpoise the
metallic surface of the counterpoise
must be at least equal to that Of an
tenna, and for efficient operation,
should even be greater than the an
tenna surface. Also the resistance Of
the counterpoise should be made as
low as possible in order to eliminate
the losses that otherwise would take
place in 1t. A counterpolse Of the form
described is illustrated in Figure a.
When the ground underneath an
antenna is a good conductor, that is to
say. Is soft and moist, the earth itself

shielded by some object in such man
ner that reception from one particular
direction IS impossible.
Keep the antenna and lead-in as
far as possible from electric light and
power lines. If power line runs
nearby, run the antenna at right
angles to it, and so obtain the mini.
mum amount of interference.
The best receiving antenna for
amateur and broadcastIng wave
lengths is single wire 100-175 feet
long, constructed Of standard copper.
phosphor bronze or copperweld wire,
just as high and far away from sur
rounding objects as 1t Is possible to
get 1t, and with a lead-in brought
down from one end and kept at least
three feet away from the house. An
antenna for this type not only gives
good results but will withstand storms
and is not objected to BY the landlord
and neighbOrs.

experiment 1t has been found that the
received energy 10 the same for a
single wire as for a multi-wire anten-
ma, unless the spacing between the
wires Is very great The greatest ad-
vantage Of a single-wlre antenna Is

Not all the energy Induced In re

Part Of the energy Is reradIated, part
is lost due to the resistance of the an
tenna conductors, part Is lost due to
the eddy currents produced in neigh
boring non-conducting material. and
part Is lost by leakage around the an
tenna insulators. All Of these losses
can be reduced to minimum by prop
erly locating and erecting an antenna,
The losses due to eddy currents can

such as houses, barns, trees, etc. The
resistance loss can be reduced by u.s.
ing a heavy conductor OF low high
frequency resistance such as stranded
phosphor bronze cable. Good, long
insulators with plenty of surface
creepage distance will minimize In
sulator leakage. Just as much care
should be taken In bringing In the
lead-in as in erecting the antenna.
Don't run the lead-ln close to wall
for any great distance.
1t is always desirable to have an
antenna just as high as possible, not
only to receive the maximum amount
Of energy. but also to prevent shield
ing. If an antenna is erected on a
site surrounded by high buildings con-
tanning conducting material, the build
ings will shield the antenna electrical

The Beverage antenna Is one Of the
most recent additions to the art of
short-wave radio reception. Due to its
characteristics, it was used at Ar
drossan, Scotland last December,
when % amateurs succeeded In bridg-
Ing the Atlantic with radio.
The Beverage. antenna is adapted to
the reception of signals on a single
predetermined wave length. 1t con-
sists Of one wire supported on 10 to
12-foot posts, this wire having
length of either one or two even wave
lengths. II designed for 2O0-meter
reception, the wire will be either $500
or 1900 feet long.
Unlike the customary form Of an
tenna, this wire is grounded at both
ends. At the far end, away from the
receiver, 1t Is grounded through non
inductiye resistance OF from $50 to 400
ohms, and at the receiving end through
a variable inductance. In the case OF
the receiver used at Ardrossan, five
stages of radio frequency amplifica-
ton, regenerative detector and two
stages of audio frequency amplifica-
ton were used.
AS stated above, the Beverage an
tenna Is designed for reception Of a
single wave length, depending on the
length Of the antenna wire. II other
wave lengths are to be received, the
length of the wire must be changed.
1t has been found that the signal
strength using LOO feet Of wire. II
feet above the ground, is approximate
ly the same as would be heard with |
single vertical antenna wire, 100 feet
In height. However, the Beverage an
tenna is highly directional, and on ac-
count of this fact. interference from
directions other than those from which
one wishes to receive is reduced to
minimum. Also, due to the short dis
lance from the ground. static and at
mospheric disturbances are almost
eliminated.
In general It may be said that the
Beverage antenna Is extremely well
adapted for the long distance recep-
ton of signals from given station
whose transmitting wave length is
known.
Often by erecting an elaborate an
.enna system. the amateur does not
get as good results as would be OBJ
tanned from simple, well-located one.
