QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Should an inside aerial running
through a hall have a lightning
arrester connected to it during the.
summer? Does the ground to
which the arrester is connected
have to be an outside pipe?
No, you needn't bother about
lightning arrester or lightning
ground with an indoor aerial. The
underwriters do not require either.
An outside ground need not be en-
ployed.
Will you kindly tell me whether
or not the tube used in the Flew
elling circuit is an amplifier? What
is a power tube?
An amplif1er is the best for the
Flewelling circuit. Power tubes
are the larger variety of vacuum
tubes designed for the purpose of
power amplifiCation and transmits
mission. They are rated in watts,
The smallest power tube is per-
haps the VT-2, which may be used
either for employing or transmit
ting. and has rating of watts.
What is the relation between the
length and height of an aerial?
For receiving, it is not necessary
to have an aerial at such an ex-
cessive height. About 40 feet will
do very nicely. An aerial for the
reception of broadcasting signals
should be at least rs to 100 feet
long.
What plate voltage is required
for UV-201 tube?
About AS volts is sufficient,
though for the second step in
creased volume is obtained up to
about 80 volts.

Proper Way to Solder

way w oOAOSA
When making up a soldered
joint there are four points to be
remembered: 1. The surface of the
parts should be cleaned and pol
ished. 2. The surface should be
kept at the right heat. 8. Solder
ing flux should be applied to the
cleanSed surface. 4. The metal
parts should be heated with the
iron and just enough solder ap-
piled to cover the parts neatly.
Keep Aerial Clear
Construct the aerial as far as
possible from houses, trees and
other structures, in order to pre-
vent absorption of the ether waves
This tends to reduce the signal
strength and effectiveness of the
aerial both for transmitting and
receiving purposes.

RIOT BREAKS OUT IN
 SPRINGFIELD STRIKE
Police Charge Gang of 2,000 Men
 Following Demonstrations

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, July 4.-An extensive riot broke out at 1 o'clock this mLrning in the vicinity of the Springfield Exchange of the New England Telephone and Telegraph company when a gang of 2,000 men, strike sympathizers, were charged by a dozen regular police and more than 100 military police reserves. At 1880 there had been three arrests.
 The riot followed several demon strations and fights between strike sympathizers. The entire command of police reserves was called to the last of the smaller riots just before 1 o'clock and was on hand with drawn clubs when the charge took place.
 The strike sympathizers were lined up across the street from the police. The rioters took the offensive, by hurling flower pots, bottles and giant firecrackers at the police. Sergt. Thomas Moriarity of the regular po lice suddenly shouted:
 Charge that mob!" and the fight was on.
 Hands were broken, men knocked down and trampled upon and the crowd fled in all directions as the night sticks played havoc. The strik- ing telephone girls who had pick eted the building were called off by union officials at II o'clock.

BAR MEMBERS ARE SEEKING RESULTS IN LEGAL CRUSADE
Thorough House Cleaning Forecast By Committee In

A strike while the iron is hot" attitude is being taken by the com mittee in charge of the work of purging the Birmingham bar of at torneys guilty of ambulance chas- ing" and other unethical acts of practice According to statements made by members of the committee, the probe within the bar is getting results. It is expected that after an investigation by the Jefferson county grand jury next week all those guilty will have been discovered and brought to court.
 From their attitude and express sions from prominent attorneys of Birmingham, legal circles are facing a rigid examination and at it's com pletion legal ethics will be regarded as the highest part of the profession. Accusations that ambulance chas- ing" was dead letter in legal ethics here fired the attorneys to hold meeting Saturday morning when definite plan of campaign was made out. This plan is now being put into action.
 The committee In charge of this work is composed of the following: E. H. Cabaniss. chairman; w. M Woodall, l.. J. Haley, T. A. Murphree Frank Dixon, Frank Spain, and Jim c. Smith. Following its first meet ing Monday afternoon 1t was re- ported from reliable sources that at least six well known attorneys will face charges when the grand jury convenes Monday.
 The committee will hold it's next meeting in the offices of it's chair man, E. H. Cabaniss, Friday after noon.
 At the regular weekly meeting of the directors of the Junior Chamber of Commerce Tuesday afternoon res olutions were passed indorsing the action taken by the Jefferson County Bar association and the county so licitor in their efforts to purge the Birmingham bar of unethical law yers.

SCENE OF ACTIVITY AT PORT OF MOBILE;
 EXPORTS ARE HEAVY
Five Million Dollars Gain In Trade, According To Fis-
 cal Year Figures

MOBILE, Ala, July 3.-(Special Leased Wire.)-Miles of docks and harves, lined with ships flying the pair plants, huge warehouses, mark the present waterfront of Mobile. Here daily are handled hundreds of products of all cilmes and territories, mounting within the year, to millions of dollars in value.
 During the fiscal year just passed, the exports of the Mobile district for the Il months, from June, 1922, tax through May, 1923, reached a value oi 5,560,27S or a little over 5000, GOO more than the same period of the fiscal year of 1922.
 These exports include flour, lum- Der, tobacco, rosin, turpentine, mill machinery, and kinds and varieties of goods.
 Mobiles best customers are the Windward Islands, and there are at present two steamship lines serving.
 The entire port is a scene of ac- tiVfty. Just entering into the regular slump which overtakes all businesses IS during the summer months, this port has, despite the handicap mentioned. already assumed an air of business and affairs that is encouraging in the extreme.
 There are operating from this port at present, eleven principal steam ship companies exporting goods to Europe, Africa, Asia, south American and the Windward Islands and Gen. tral America not counting a number of firms operating steamships almost exclusively in the import trade and those cOaStwiSe operators.

N West Reenacted I Stirring Spectacle For President Hd1n9
BIRMINGHAM PLANS WET JULY FOURTH AT BATHING POOLS

When in the course of human events" the Fourth of July rolls around. Birmingham folks seem to have but several ideas, most of them wet, for Wednesdays crowds will head for the swimming pools, that is if winter does not flop back, or there is no rain, which is very prob ably will be. '
 Children, with their fingers crossed remembering wet holidays during the school term, have made chary prepa rations. In the first place, they hold, what's the use? Parents do all the planning and decide in which direc- tion the car is to roll.
 So far as is known, the city hall is the only building in town that will give 100 per cent observance of the day, with every employe of the build ing off duty. President D. F. Mc- Lendon passed the word Monday that the place was to be closed, and where holidays are concerned there are to be no halfway measures with him.
 The post office comes next, with but one hour set aside for window deliveries, from to 10 o'clock, a. m.
 Patriotic organizations, since Mo- vember II became the main day for military collaboration, these day save, their enthusiasm until then, for the Revolutionary battles of Guilford Courthouse, Kings Mountain, The Cowpens and Yorktown are fading into the haze of long past things. Fresher memories have supplanted them. .
 From what can be gathered from conversations with those who have to do with organizations and busi- nesses of all kinds, July 4 is a. day while, after which it will have to take its chances.
