Their Conference
HOUSES UNINHABrTABLE
(By the Associated Press. }

Paris, Sept II. = Conversations
that are taking place between Jacquis
de Margerid, French Ambassador to
Germany and Chancellor Stresemann,
in Berlin are considered by the
French government as leading toward
settlement Of the reparation's
question, although it is stated that
the chancellor has not made def
mite offer either respecting the re-
sistance in the Ruhr or what could
be proposed afterwards.
The conference between the am
bassador and Chancellor Stresemann
will be continued.
Any proposition received from
Chancellor Stresemann will be COM
municated Immediately to France
and the other allies.
Paris. Sept. 1.-While it is SEMI
officially declared that the conversa-
tions are regarded hopefully by the
French government, it is added that
they should not be taken too serious
ly until the Berlin government sub
mits proposals.
Many such proposals will be exam
ined in conciliatory spirit.
Chancellor Stresemann is thought
in political circles to be engaged in n
diplomatic endeavor to learn the
maximum concessions obtainable
from the French.
The appointment Of German am
dassador to Paris is expected soon as
step to hasten better understand
ing.
The French public and press re-
ceived news Of the conference so
with certain detachment with .
view of the many disappointments
suffered since 1919 in attempts Of
reparationa solutions.

TELLS OF WRECK
Santa Barbara, Cal, Sept. 11-R.
A. Coffman. Of Fargo, fireman
aboard the Flagship, Delphy, one Of
the seven United States destroyers
which crashed into the rocks a few
miles north Of here Saturday is in
a hospital here as one of the survi-
vors of the wreck. In the disaster
30 sailors lost their lives and Coff-
man has given one of the most vivid
descriptions of the affair.
"We left San Francisco early in
the day for San Diego. We were
going about 20 knots an hour and
the seven ships were in single file.
We headed the line, it was very
foggy and the seas were rising.
"At five minutes past nine we
crashed into the rocks with ter
rible shock. was in my hammock
and was thrown out. It was a terri
BILE sight as l went on deck. There
were our seven ships piled in terrible
confusion all over the rocks. Men
were screaming and yelling for help.
s"They were jumping into the high
waves and we could see them being
smashed against the rocks by the
big waves. Then they would dis
appear under the oil that covered
the water from the sinking ships.
One boat near US turned right over
with twenty men trapped in her hold.
Screams Were Awful
1t was awful to hear the screams
as she went down. Our ship was
caught on the rocks about hundred
yards from shore. Someone got
line across the mainland and we
went hand over hand to the beach.
We tried to get some of the men QUO
Of the water that were struggling
about but there was not much chance
to rescue any.
They say that we did not have
our right bearings. We received
radio bearings about an hour before
we struck and I guess they were /
wrong for we headed straight into |
the jagged rocks that form that point. !
Coffman suffered cuts and bruises
in the heavy seas but is not serious
ly injured. His actions and work in
the face Of danger have been COM
mended by offices of the fleet who
stated he showed remarkable cool
ness and courage. He is to leave
here for San Diego tomorrow.

Much Troublesome and
Needless Interference

Users Of regenerative radio receiv-
Ing sets should be very careful In reg
ulating the filament current on the
detector tubes Of their receiving out
fits.
A regenerative receiver acts az q
miniature transmitting station and q
great deal Of troublesome and need
less interference can be created In a
neighborhood by user Of this type Of
receiver who Is not acquainted with
the facts regarding their operation.
The wailing, bowling noise sometimes
heard on receiving set is. In many
Instances, due to the users Of regen-
erative set tuning their dlals In an
effort to tune in broadcasting station.
Much Of this Interference can be
eliminated by burning the filament on
the detector tube at maximum brill
liancy necessary to receive the desired
signals. Users Of this type Of equip
ment, after tuning in their station,
should reduce the flament current as
much as possible. By observing this
rule they will not only prolong the life
Of their tubes and batteries, but Will
make receiving conditions much better
for their neighbors who may be trying
to tune In at the same time
The amount Of energy radiated by a
regenerative receiver is directly pro
portlonate to the brilliancy Of the fila
ment In the detector circuit.

APPEALED TO MANS VANITY
erlhtIy coiored Beads, In soms
Shape, Have Been Popular In All
Ages and Countries.

Beads are one Of the oldest wit
nesses to the vanity Of mankind.
The Oldest beads were simply stones
with holes through them. which. owing
to their bright color or peculiar shape.
took the fancy of the finder, who
threaded them on a strip Of hide or
fiber. Later, when we became more
civilized, beads made Of wood carved
into fantastic shapes were In favor.
Some beautiful examples Of both kinds
can be seen In the British museum.
Unclvilized races have passion for
stringing together various objects as
beads. Human teeth, brightly colored
Insects, seeds and even whales teeth,
are worn In this way.
The word bead comes from "bede,"
the old English word for prayer. 1t has
an interesting origin. In olden times,
as person repeated his prayers they
were counted by ticking off one by one
string of small pierced balls which
were threaded together, and In time
these balls came to be called beads.

Some Suggestions on
Laying Out Radio Set

First decide definitely what kind of
set is to be built. Purchase the best
quality Of apparatus, having the cleo
trical characteristics that the particu-
lar set requires. Take special care to
select parts of good mechanical con-
struction as well.
Lay the instruments on the table,
trying different arrangements Of the
parts until an arrangement Is found
with symmetrical appearance, and
with as short wires to the tuning, grid
and plate circuits as can be secured.
When the proper layout Is found, a
scale laid alongside of the parts will
give an approximate idea Of the size
panel 1t will be necessary to buy. Try
to arrange the parts to fit a standard
size panel, which may be purchased at
almost any radio store.
Particular care should be taken in
the wiring of the set to keep grid and
plate wires separate and away from
the flament wires. This will reduce
the liability Of sQueallng and broad
tuning to minimum.
The fllament circuit may be of al
most any length, provided the wires
that carry the current are large
enough to prevent an excessive drop
In voltage. Number IA. or the square
bus wire sold for wiring sets. Is very
good for this purpose.
The output circuit of two-stage
amplifier should never be brought near
to the grid circuit of the detector
tube, as bowling almost inevitably re-
suits. More cases Of bowling ampll-
fiers can be traced to improper placing
Of the wires than to any other one
cause.
In wiring a set don't try to do too
many things at once. Start at the In
put end and work across to the out
put end. When connecting q set with
vacuum tubes. connect the nlament
wires to the sockets and rheostats
FIRST, and then follow from input to
output circuits.
A grounded copper sheet on the back
Of the panel where the condenser OF
variometer Is mounted is Of consider.
able value both a. shield against the
effects Of the operators hands when
tuning, and a. . convenient place to
solder such wires as need to be
grounded. Especial care should be
taken to cut out around all screw and
shaft holes. Of any other places where
the metal parts Of condensers or other
instruments may touch the shield.

Keep Antenna in the
Air During Summer

'Is 1t advisable to take the antenna
down during the summer In order to
protect the set from being struck BY
lightning?" This 10 popular question
Of this season of the year.
The danger from lightning may be
reduced to minimum providing prop
er safeguards are adopted. There II
no more danger from the antenna be-
Ing struck by lightning than there Is
from the telephone or electric hight
wires running into the house. An an
tenna properly grounded serves as a
lightning rod gradually letting the
static charges leak away 70 the ground
before they have q chance to gather
and attract an opposite charge from
the clouds. It is estimated that a
radio antenna not only protects the
house with which 1t is connected but
the surrounding area equal to the size
Of city block. Every owner Of O
radio antenna should have feeling of
safety during an electric storm.

each so feet In length are. not the
same as 4 single wire 100 feet long.
There may be 100 feet of wire in the
aerial, but the effective length will not
be for the full 100 feet.
Be sure to insulate the aerial from
all surrounding objects. II the lead-in
wire comes into contact with any Of
the surrounding objects there will be a
decided tendency for the current to
leak of. and for the best results. es-
pecially on DIX signals, advantage
must be taken Of every little thing.
The ground connection is fully az
important as the aerial as 1t forms
part of the open circuit The best
ground connection is to the cold water
pipe, as this is the shortest and most
direct lead to the earth. The hot wa
ter pipes and the radiator system will
do If necessary. but there are many
more Joints In a system Of this kind,
and as these pipe Joints are made up
with white or red lead there will be a
high resistance. which is to be avoided.
Scrape the cold water pipe until it
shows shiny finish and then either
use one of the ground clamps that may
be purchased, or, better yet, take about
ten turns of the ground wire around
this pipe and solder them in place. II
the ground clamp is used, this also
should be soldered to the pipe. Solder
all connections in both the aerial and
the ground for the best results.
