low pine region, and is rapidly dupli-
eating the same procedure there.
The result follows that the country
may be wholly dependent upon the Pa
cifc slope. Not only is this the only
remaining domestic source of soft
woods, but a recent survey of the
worlds supply discloses that there are
no foreign forests of this character
that America may draw upon when Its
own are exhausted.
A bulletin issued by the department
says:
1.-THE average rate Of decrease over
the last 13 years has been about per
cent year. The figures for 1920 are
about 81 per cent lower than the high
production peak that was reached In
1907, when we produced about 10000
900 900 feet. We have passed the high
point and the present tendency down
ward is permanent Since this is the
case there must be some active steps

While the regular form of radio com
munlcation has been widely used in
boy scout encampments, there are limi-
tations which restrict its use to those
scouts more advanced in the art. For
instance, the wave-length regulations
must be rigidly adhered to, and special
licenses must be secured before the
sets may be placed in operation. The
"air" cannot be used indiscriminately
for fear of causing serious interference
with receiving sets for which the mes
sages are not intended.
There is another form of communi-
cation which Is suitable for scout
camps and which is deserving of wider
application. The double ground sys-
tenn has been little used in this coun-
try, although 1t was of immense value
TO the front line of the French army
during the World war. The transmit
ter is so simple and well known as to
require little explanation, for Its most
important unit Is the well-known spark
coil. This instrument has fallen into
not only because of its gruff and un-
certain tone, but also on account of the
poor tuning qualities of sets using
spark coils. But with the double
ground hook-up there is no tuning re-
qulred, and since 1t is useful primarily
for slow speed communication the low
note is no obstacle.
In Fig. l appears the hook-up for
n double ground transmltter. The ter
minals of the spark coil are placed n
fraction of an inch apart and wire
run out in each direction, where con-
tact is made with the ground. The
longer these two wires, the greater
will be the possibilities for distant
communication, although If they are
about fifty feet each code conversation
may be carried on over distances not
exceeding one-half mile. If insulated
wire Is used 1t may be strung on the
ground, although If 1t isn't insulated 1t
should be kept foot or two off the
ground by wooden stakes. The grounds
may be In the form of iron pipes about
four feet long driven deep into the
earth the better the contact, of course,
the better Will be the results. In fact,
a short strip of chicken wire, buried a
foot or two beneath the soil, Is ideal
for the purpose. No connection should
be made to piping systems, for that
would destroy the possibilities of long
er distance
In Fig. l Is shown a sample receiving
circuit There is no tuning required.
all that is needed being an audio-fre-
quency ampitier WD-11 tubes may
easily be used, with two dry cells for
lighting the filaments. This arrange
ment is indicated, and n single rheostat
is used. The receiving arrangements
are identical with those of the trans
mittlng system as far as the ground
wires are concerned.
There Is an unusual advantage in
the double ground arrangement In that

cal arrangement of double ground out

Keep Storage Battery
in Proper Condition

The following pointers will be help
full in keeping your A battery in prop
er condition: Do not allow the bat
terry to become completely discharged
Always maintain the level of the
electrolyte (acid and water) above the
tops of the plates, usually one-quar-
ter inch. Keep the battery well
charged at all times, as 1t is difficult
to revive dead battery which has
been standing idle for long time.
Do not allow the electrolyte to bub-
BILE over on to the tops of the cells.
If this happens, reduce the charging
rate. Keep the top clean to avoid
leakage loss.
Determine the gravity range Of your
particular battery and keep 1t within
proper limits by frequent tests with
hydrometer.

Your Receiving Sets
Must Be Kept Clean

Cleanliness and neatness are impor-
tant for efficient operation of radio
receiving set. Dust should not be al
lowed to gather on the instruments
for 1t causes leaks in the circuit. Dust
between the plates of variable con-
denser develops short circuits, and
collections of dust or SCOT on the an
tenna insulators make 1t easy for the
radio currents to leak away to the
ground before they reach the receiv-
ing set.
One operator noticed the signals
gradually growing weaker. He over
hauled the entire set, carefully in
specting all connections, but this
failed to locate the trouble. He began
to lose faith in radio. One morning
while busting about the room his wife
just happened to brush the dust off
the splderweb coils mounted on top OF
the cabinet. That night the set
worked to perfection, us 1t did when
first installed.

States cannot compel national banks
to surrender to them the deposits made
in the name of persons who, under the
state laws. are considered dead" the
court held in case brought by the
First National bank of San Jose
against the state of California.
In 1880, p. A. Campbell deposited
S1,192 in the San Jose bank. Since
then he has not checked upon the ac-
count nor made an addition to it. His
present address is unknown.
California claimed that, under two
laws passed in 1915, the money es-
cheated to the state and that the courts
of the state also took that view. The
bank contended, however, that the ma
tional banking act and not the state
laws controlled in such cases.

~ Asses brought to determine the
N constltutionality of the Shep-
A herd-Towner maternity act
were dismissed for want OF
Jurisdiction by the Supreme court,
which refused to pass upon the validity
of the law.
Justice Sutherland, announcing the
courts opinion that the cases could
not be considered on their merits,
pointed out that the cases in which
the court hitherto had assumed juris-
diction differed from the maternity
cases, which presented only political
and not judicial questions.
The highest court, Justice Suther-
land said, was without authority to
pass upon abstract questions. He as
serted that state had no right to
bring suit to protect the rights of the
citizens of the United States The fed
eral government must look after the
rights OF its citizens, he said, taking
the position that there was nothing
presented to distinguish the citizens to
such an extent as to give the state a
right to act for them.
Referring to the claims of n tax
payer, as represented in the separate
case brought by Harriet A. Frothing-
ham, the justice asserted that the eff

under which any court of equity could

" INVESTIGATIONS by the Depart
