WOULD REDUCE PAY IN
 BRITISH ARMED FORCES
Now That the War Is Over Tommy Atkins Wages Are Going
 to Be Cut Down.

London, Nov. 1.-The drums of war having ceased to beat, Tommy Atkins is going to have his pay re- duced. So are the sergeants and subalterns and captains and even majors in his majcstys army. The colonels and generals however, will continue to draw their present sal aries.
 One of the members of the com mttee or three which recommended the reductions is general. The committee said it did not think any of the services err on the side of pay ing their best men too much. The other two members of the commit tee arc knighted civilians.
 It is far from certain that these recommendation will be carried out to the letter. For one thing, there will be long and loud protest raised against lower pay, but il is probable that, to some extent, the proposed re- ductions will be put in force.
 Privates now receive two shillings and nine pence a day 10 start on. The committee would reduce this to IS bn. SuDdltcFnS, Wnose Fdnk lS comparable to second lientenants in tho American Army, receive 13 shil- lings day, which the committee would drop to ii shillings. A cap- tain's pay of 23s Cd would be cut to ei shilliugs. Reductions in the navy and the air forces also are pro- posed. but only for those ranking below commanders.
 The committee declares that the pay of an infantry recruit and of an ordinary seaman has increased i75 per cent and 167 per cent rcspcc- lively, above the scale Of 1914. Be- fore the war Tommy Atkins got less money than agricultural, engineering and building laborcrs, but now he receives considerably more. That is one of the chief arguments used by the committee.
 The committee recommended also that the lower ranking workers in the civil service toll eight hours a day instead Of seven. Their bosses however. are not asked 10 extend their working hours.

Opposes Silent Night.

Radio Editor:
A communication, addressed to
you, from William J. Woods, in
which he advocated a silent night
by the local broadcasting stations,
attracted my attention, and l want
TO say that l cannot agree with
Mr.. Woods that such a condition
is IT all necessary.
Now | am not an embryo radio
engineer. and l am not going to
spr ng the wave-t-ap gag as
remedy for the interference from
local broadcasting stations, but L
do say that with the proper kind
of a set and with proper handling
listener-in need not worry the
least bit about local interference.
Any recognized text book on
radio will tell you that there are
two distinct types of receiving
sets, namely, the conductiveIy
coupled. or so-called single circuit
coupled or two-circuit receiver. In
the first case we get very good sig
nal strength, but poor selectivity,
and In the latter case We lose some
signal strength and gain in Sc
iecttvity. which is exactly what we
need in these days of numerous
and hfgh-powered broadcasting
ST tons
In my experience with broadcast
listeners / find that the great ma
jority are not willing to sacrifice
signal strength In order to gain
the selectivity that will allow them
to listen 10 out-of-town stations
through local broa dcasting.
l do not know what kind of a re-
ceiving set Mr.. Woods has. but If
he uses an inductlvely coupled re-
ceiVing set, and keepS the counlinp
between antenna and grid circuits
very loose he viii not have any
trouble in getting out-of-tow sta
tionS. ard he will not hove m sir

| But in the case Of LehIgh Univer-

coils suitable for radio-frequency stand
ards has been prepared by ]. L. Preston
and NJ S. Strock of the bureau Of

terest in radio-f frequency measurements,
the Illustrated circular should be of
considerable value to those technically
inclined and in laboratories where a
fixed inductor of known inductance and
having a small radio frequency is de-
sired. This type Of coil in conjunction
with a high grade variable air conden-
ser, such as the bureau of standards
