MOUNTAINEERS
ATTACKING
REBELS
Mexican Federal General
Seizes Tehuacan Without
Struggle, He Reports.
By ARTHUR CONSTANTINE,
International NOws Service.

MEXICO CITY, Jan. 14.-Gen.
Eugenio Martinez today notified the
war department that a loyal force
of mountaineors is attacking the
rebel positions at Oaxaca, capital OF
the state of Oaxaca.
Federal troops have occupied
Tehuacan, in the state of Pueblo.
General Martinez telegraphed that
the advance of his army towards
Vera Cruz continues without check.
I'VE arrived in Tehuacan this
morning" said the telegram which
was dated Sunday. I'VE seized the
city without the necessity of firing
a shot. The rebels fled precipitately.
President Alvero Obregon has ar
rived at La Piedad to assume per-
sonal command Of the Federal army
upon the western front. La Piedad
is in the state of Michoacan, where
fighting is anticipated. It is ex-
pected that a battle will be fought
also at Poncitlan, in the state Of
Jalisco.
War department officials reiterated
their prediction that the decisive bat
tie of the revolution would take place
in a few days in the region Of
Guadalajar@.
President NObregon will personally
lead his troops into the fray. A sup
ply of tear gas bombs, obtained
from the United States, is reported to
have reached Obregon's army in the
west. They will be employed in the
Forthcoming engagement. The Next
can federals are being equipped with
Enfield rifles, obtained from the
United States. -

who will make a study of Wash
ington's child-caring boards and
agencies for the District Child We'll
fare Code Commission. arrived in
Washington today and established
himself in an office on the third
floor OF the District building.
Before beginning my work here"
Mr.. Hodson told newspapermen 1tos
day, II want to state emphatically
that little or nothing can be ac-
complished by the Code Commission
in this city unless the Commits
sion has the unanimous support OF
the various agencies and boards
whose work deals with children.
! There must be harmony or there
is little use Of undertaking the task
of studying conditions here and
framing legislation to improve the
present situation in the National
Capital"
Mr.. Hodson conferred with Com
missioner Cuno Fl. Rudolph imme-
diately on his arrival here. He
then secured rooms at the Racquet
Club. This afternoon he will con-
fer with Justice Frederick l.. Sid

The child welfare expert indi.
Gated that he would Inform Justice

ever seen.
The power companies are extend.

They boast of their chain of
inter-connected power systems that
stretch like mighty tentaclee from

Washington; from Niagara to the
Connecticut to Tennessee, from

Over $50 municipally.owned

The private super-power mon.

fastening itself upon the nation.
But there is another side to this
@uper-power story.
There are 2,31$ cities in the
United States and 400 more in
Canada, that have not yet hauled
down their colors. They own and
operate electric light and power
plants. They are under fire, of
course. There are fnjunctions. Of

very similar to that of the behavior Of
the vibrating wire. To be sure. the
ammeter would have TO be a sensitive
device, so let us suppose that we have
such a one on hand. Then for given
signal strength, If we measure the
current produced in the incoming cir
cult for various frequencies, we will
obtain curve.
Detector Connection Important.
In receiving set the two wires con-
nected across the condenser G marked
A and B are led 10 the detector, and
the effect of the detector depends upon
the difference in electric pressure be-
tween the wire A and B. Further. for a
given setting of the variable condenser
G at q given wave length the pressure
is dependent upon the amount of cur
rent flowing through the condenser.
1t is of advantage then to make this
current as large as possible in a given
circuit, and it is accomplished by max
| ing the resistance as small as possible,
A tuner having a low resistance at
radio frequency will give very sharp
or very peaked curve when 1t is tuned
to the particular wave length wanted
If the resistance is high the tuning is
not at all sharp. If the frequency
varies by 25 or 80 meters on each side

c Battery Important
Addition to Your Set

The use of a G battery is consid-
cred by the majority of radio fans to
be unimportant. This is not true.
The use of C battery in radio cir
cult is as important as the vacuum
tube itself A G battery adds but lit
tie expense to set, but it aids great

If one is using a receiver with tele-
phones the C battery is not essen
tial. 1t is only necessary when a
loud speaker is used. The G battery
eliminates possible distortion and
prevents the overlooking of the tubes.
This is particularly true of the tube
that drives the loud speaker.
The C battery is connected in the
amplifier circuit as follows: Con-
meet the two terminals on the audio
frequency transformers together and
bring this connection TO the minus

American Legion Helps
Widow in Need of Aid

A widow OF Ohio who had two sons
in the service, one having died in
service and one since as a result of
service, held two compensation checks
received by her son. but not Endorsed
by him before his death. The burial
expenses for her son amounted to
more than $500. She needed cash. Her
son had told her before his death that
if, after his death, she needed advice
and assistance TO go to the American
Legion She did. Through the agency
of the American Legion the Probate
court was prevailed upon to execute
administration papers at cost of $40
less than in usual cases and the much
needed checks were redrawn in favor
of the widow Claim was made by the
service department of the Legion for
death compensation for the widow and
in less than three weeks the claim was
allowed by the bureau and the widow
granted a death compensation of $25

Young Queens Essential
for Winterinp of Bees

Last winter, in some sections, heavy
winter losses of colonies seemed to
make US wonder where we had gone
wrong in our beekeeping Three of the
group seem to be favorites.
Young queens TO send colonies into
winter quarters in good, strong condi-
ton are essential. Do not leave the
introduction of young queens until it
is too late. Between August and
10 is good time TO requiem. Later
than that ii not always satisfactory,
as the queen does not always get start
ed properly till it is too late and the
colony tries to winter with nothing
but old bees, and it cannot be done.
Good stores and plenty of them is
good policy to follow 1t is, as a
rule, easy TO leave plenty of winter
stores and it is good insurance pol
icy. Bees never consume more than
they need and the surplus will remain
over for the following year. Good
apiary practice insists on fifty pounds
of honey per colony each winter. Bet

Suppose that we have tuner con-

Suppose further that this tuner is adj

Suppose that the condenser "C' and

shown in 81" This amr'"ter reads in
units of electrical current. Then, by
causing the antenna to be struck by
