During the past months the mobilization of the
financial resources of communities through bank
mergers consultations and absorptions have become
exceedingly popular. This tendency is evidenced not
only the larger cities where finance is most advanced
but also in the smaller towns and cities
The mobilization of resources into larger and
stronger banking units places the banks in better
position meet the evergrowing demands of modern
business assures the maintenance of sound banking poll
ces and uzes the individual dollar Of deposits
efficiently for the benefit of the entire community
Delta County folks are, therefore, interested in
the consolidation of of Deltas financial institutions
The Delta National Bank and The Colorado State Bank
The business of the consolidated institutions will be
carried on from the bank building of what was The
Delta National Bank, and be known as The Colorado
Bank & Trust Company.
This consolidation gives Delta exceptionally
strong bank The efficiency of such institution has
been demonstrated time and again. and it is certain that
the community as whole Will benefit through TINS
change
The progress of this financial institution and the
growth and prosperity of the community go hand in
hand. Individual success, community advancement and
the service of this strong conservative bank are closely
linked.
The strength Of any bank is and no less
than the financial backing of its stockholders coupled
with the integrity and ability of its directors and Off
GERS The officers directors and stockholders of the
new institution will be as follows:

R~EGENERATlVE SET
COSTLY BUT USEFUL
Methods for Converting the SIM
Pile Vacuum Tube Receiver
Into That Type.

There are a great many amateurs
who W and operate radio receiving
sets using acuum tube detectors who
would like to have regenerative re-
ceivers. R~egenerative receivers, how
ever, are relatively expensive because
of the high royalty the companies IL
censed TO manufacture these sets pay
for the use of the Armstrong patent.
The ~regenerative circuit Is desirable
in spite of these difficulties, because
by converting his vacuum tube de-
tector into a ~regenerative receiver, an
amateur cannot only then pick up I'M
ldamped or eontlnuous-wave signals
but his incoming signals will be great
ly amplifed. A regenerative receiver
will produce for the same incoming sig
nal Il much stronger response in the
headphones than a non-regenerative
receiver in connection with a one
stage amplifer. Then, too, the adj
dition of the ampllfer necessitates
extra tubes, simplifying transformers,
etc, as a first cost and more power
to operate as a maintenance cost.
The simple tube receiver us
ing a tuning coil only for varying
wave length a be recommended as

Are Wives Happier Now Than When Spanking

BY KATHLEEN o'BRIEN. in London Chronicle.

Husbands no longer, except in rare cases, administer corporal ehas-

Let us be plain with ourselves. Are wives any happier for being

Personally, don't believe they are. 1t is a horrible admission to
make; but an indigenous honesty wrings it from me. Neurafhenia

For those who wish 10 retain the

physical dimensions to the secondary
of the loose coupler though It need

Here Is an Evil to Be Uprooted if the
United States Is to Prevail
By JAMES J. DAVIS, Secretary of Labor.

Two hundred and fifty thousand American babies are snatched by
death from their mothers breasts every year before they have had time
scarcely to open their eyes.
Half a million children, so-caled detectives and deinquents, are
growing up almost totally neglected.
Thirty million American children Of school age, who, even il they
can win the opportunity for education, face in our schools a false learning,
an education that will not fit more than one in ten Of them for the places
they must occupy IN life.
But more portentous yet looms the problem Of the child in indus
try. Approximately a million and a half American boys and girls OF
school age are today pressed to labor before their time, doomed to the
drudgery of mine and mill and factory by economic necessity. They face
hopeless futures.
Here, if anywhere, we face a real danger to the republic Not in
the gospel of the peddLr of political nostrums is our peril but here
where citizens of the future are broken, mentally, morally and physically,
by misled industrial management, is the evil which must be uprooted If
America is to prevail

Tradition in the Motion-Picture Field That Bars
Religious Pictures
By CHARLES JOHNSON POST, in Christian Herald.

And there has grown up a tradition in the mohon-picture field
a tradition that bars religious pictures. Think Of such a tradition, of
such a principle, in an industry to which twenty million people a week
pay tribute! There III over forty million registered members Of various
churches in the United States and all Of them Christian with the ex-
ception of the Jewish synagogues-357,00 900. One would imagine that with a
specific audience of forty million church members a picture with a
religious theme might be worth while ven considered purely as a business
move. On the contrary a religious picture-one with a religious theme
is taboo.
"Not interested in a picture with a religious subject" says big
motion-picture producer. "No need to talk about the subject, we don't
want it" says another. "Ihe public don't want a religious picture" e-
plains a thrd-al leading producing organizations. "0r with a religious
theme"
Don't you think an audience Of forty million people-al members
Of Christian churches-might be interested 7" a asked.
"They come to our theaters anyway-we don't need to make a picture
for Them" was the answer. ,
Is it the answer?

for feeding energy back to the grid cir
cult from the plate circuit.
The best method of adapting q
loose coupler to a regenerative circuit
arrangement is shown in Figure NJ.
The primary of the loose coupler Is
used for tuning as in a single circuit
tuner employing a tuning coil. The
secondary of the tuning coil is not
connected In the grid circuit as 1t nor
mally is. but is In the plate circuit.
By connecting the secondary in
the plate circuit, the amount Of in
ductance in the plate circuit can be
varied and the coupling of the plate

switch Is on contact No. 1, the set Is
non-regeneratiye. Turning the switch
to point No. 2 makes the set regenera-

Opportunities for Ingenuity and Initiative in
Railroad Operation


There are today new opportunities for ingenu-
iy and initiative in the operation of American rail-
roads.
The present difficulties in railroad service con-
stitute only a temporary emergency condition. While
Standardization of wages, agreement on working
conditions and the decisions of the labor board have
restricted the initiative. of the railroads, there still
is opportunity to find new ways to make progress.
Railroad arrangements, while concentrating
their attention largely upon efficiency in the move
White Pine news. [volume] (East Ely, Nev.) 1920-1923, 1923-01-07

ment Of trains, have not given sufficient attention to the efficiency of labor
employed in the terminals and in the maintenance of trackage and
equipment.
It is in the terminal and maintenance work that the increased labor
cost proves most burdensome. cannot avoid the belief that great OPP
portunites still exist for important improvements in the use of terminal
labor and Of maintenance labor.
But there remains an even greater field for effort and initiative,
which, in my opinion, never has been worked by railroad arrangements
as it ought to have been, and as it must be in the future; and that is
the field of the relationship between the management and the employees.
At the present time l think many railroad arrangements ar giving seri-
Gus attention to this great problem.
l believe a sincere desire to promote the welfare of employees and
a settled policy to obtain through regular conferences the views of the
employees al to what their welfare requires and to explain to the en-
ployees the necessities of the management will have a progressively bene-
fetal effect upon the efficiency of railroad labor.
