II. L. Brown am about to
erect an aerial and am in doubt
whether to make it a T type or
inverted L type. The span which
/ am allowed between houses is
about 100 feet. Which do you think
would be best with this length
of allowance?
A-With the span Of 100 feet
I would recommend that you erect
the aerial of the inverted L type
taking the lead-in from which point
you intend to hear from. Remem-
her, the inverted Il type eantenna
is directional, and everything De.
ponds upon the end from which
you take your lead-in for signal
and distance strength.
e. j. Els there any difference
between grid variometer and
plate variometer, or is 1t just
the particular circuits they are
connected in? Are they both wound
the same? ~
A-One yariometer is connected
in the grid circuit and the other
In the plate circuit, otherwise they
are the same. There is no cleo
trical difference between them, and
both are wound the same.
Carl Hiss-I have a VII vacuum
tube which I wish to use as a
detector tube, but have been un-
able ITO find out the correct grid
leak and grid condenser to use
with it. Can you give me this
information?
A-You can use twenty-five and
one-half volts on the plate circuit
of the VII as a detector. You
might even be able to go as high
as forty-five volts, but expert
ments will show that each tube
has slightly different character
istics. Using the tube as ampli
fier, you can go as. high as 100
volts on the plate circuit. The
grid leak should be one negohn
and the grid condenser .00025 MID
capacity.
J. w. Rogers-Your set as hooked
up at present has both selectivity
and distance. Evidently your
trouble is with tuning. which is
critical. With the plates of the

COURT RESTRAINS
 STRIKE TICKETS
Bars Garment Workers From Even
 Approaching Strikers Homes.

Atlantic City, Aug. 11.-Oficers of the Reliable Cloak Company, former ly of New York, obtained an injunc- ton from Vice Chancellor Robert H. Ingersoll here restraining pickets of the International Ladies' Garment Workers Union from picketing the cloak company's factory in Camden.
 The officers told Chancellor Inger- soil that their firm, which Is an inde- pendent business, had been driven out of New York City months ago by the actions of the union. Since then a garment strike has risen in Camden, where the cloak company moved, and two months ago the union began to picket it's plant there.
 The injunction is temporary, in eff feet pending the hearing on August IA of an application for pernanent order.
 The injunction not only forbids pickets at the factory but bars agents of the union from entering employees. homes to urge them to join the union. Simon J. Rosenbaum, vice-president of the company, calls the injunction the first gun to be fired in vigorous war against the union.

Lack of Sympathy With Noses

Birmingham, Ala, Aug. 1.-The presidential candidacy of Senator Oscar w Underwood was received with "hearty disapproval and opposi- ton" at meeting of the committee of allied labor organizations of the Birmingham district, according to resolutions made public by union off, cials
 The resolutions asserted that Sena- tor Underwood's career as public man, has been characterized by his lack of sympathy with the great masses of the people and by subser- viency of the selfish big business and financial interests" and concluded by declaring that MT. Underwood, "be eliminated from public life

Reaction Would
 Varnp the Farmers

Chicago; Aug. I1.-Terrifed at the sweep of the progressive movement, the Illinois Manufacturers Associa- tion is attempting to vamp the farm CTS. Officers of the association an nounce they will combine with farm CTS to better their-the farmers'-lot, and also stamp out radicalism.
 The manufacturers association IS in the front rank of reaction It op- poses the smallest degree of social justice and fights as hard against hu- mane conditions for working women as for judge-made rule and state constitution that be6ts the middle ages.
 John M Glenn, secretary and chief chestnut puller of the association, again proves his fitness for peculiar tasks, by blaming wage workers for the ills of farmers.
 "It is quite natural for the farmer to rebel against the existing situa- tion," says the nervy Glenn "The farmer is kicking because he has to put up from nine to ten bushels of wheat to match one days labor in a factory

Average Work Week
 Nearing 48-Hours
Bureau Reports 5o.3 Hours, a Reduc-
 ton of 36 Minutes in Two Years.

The National Bureau of Economic Research, 474 West Twenty-fourth street, New York, finds after a na- tionwide survey, that the length of the working week of the average Amer ican employe is 5o.3 hours. This rep resents a reduction of 36 minutes in the last two years, according to Dr.. Wnlford I. King of the bureau staff.
 Of all classes of employers report ing, the report stated, those engaged in rendering domestic and personal service show the longest full-time hours for those working under their direction. The average was slightly more than 56 hours for a seven-day week Farmers and retail merchants required more than s hours week from employees, 1t was found
 "The figures presented in the re- port" said Dr. King, indicate that the man who IS anxious to have a steady job in dull times as well as in good times should seek a position with a small employer"

Scientific" Law
 Fails to Function

Washington, Aug. 1.-The "fexi- ble tariff law" has not fulfilled the predictions of it's friends. The law was passed by the last congress in connection with the Fordney-Mc- Cumber tariff act. It provides where rates are too high or too low, the tariff commission may adjust same. Friends of the law hailed 1t as per feet statesmanship. Tt puts the tar if on scientific basis" they said. Opponents insisted that it would be used to allay discontent with the law and that congress was surrendering to a commission it's right to set tar if rates.
 To date, changes in but two tariff rates have been made-in paint brush handle and in some sort of a jim crack called wall pockets" that were formerly made in Germany. These changes were made after much re- search and solemn hearings, but have no effect on living costs.

 "Workers support society, so the more they get the more society will have,' he said "The working men are the producers, and the grocer, the merchant the doctor, the lawyer, the banker and everyone else who do not work, live off him. It stands to reason, then, that the more the work ing men earn the more the other fe1- low makes off them. Yet our cham. Der of commerce boasts of the city s wealth of cheap labor"

Chicago, Aug. II.-World War vet erans, who are also members of labor unions, are to have American Legion posts of their own. The Illinois Fed eration of Labor, through it's execu- tive committee, gave sanction to the organization of union Legion. posts.
