congress prohibiting the payment Of
salaries to members of the tariff COM
mission who might take part in cases
affecting industries In which they were

The sugar investigation has been the
most important before the tariff COM

tariff law in September, 1922. The in
vestigation of sugar duties has been in
progress for about a year and a half
1t was ordered ON the basis of an ap-

by Americans with sugar interests in
Cuba The proposed decrease in duty
has been opposed by western beet
sugar interests and Louisiana cane
sugar growers, both of whom have in
sisted that the Fordney-McCumber rate
is not high enough

case will be Of far reaching impor-

Loud Speaker Can
Be Built at Home
Square Horn Is Easily Made
and VIII Give Excel
lent Results.

Any loud speaker consists of two
fundamental units: First, a means of
changing electrical energy into sound /;
and second, a means of simplifying the
sound so produced. The first unit Is,
In most cases, an electromagnetic
telephone or other device operating on
similar principles such as an electro
dynamic or moving coil instrument.
The simplifying member is. almost uni
versally, some form of horn.
In an instrument where low cost of
construction Is TO be considered a
phone should be used which Is well
adapted for the sound-producing
mechanism. II should be a modified
electromagnetic device that is capable
Of clear reproduction. and can handle
all the energy from an ordinary re-
ceiving set without distortion.
The horn can easily be constructed
at home. A square horn was selected
fn the present case because il was cas-
lily made and gave best results. No
greater Endorsement for the square
horn is necessary, considering that

cIrsuit to Use IN Improved Portable Receiver.

IN the form Of bracket made from
strip Of brass, as shown A ma
chine screw through them, with a nut
between to separate them about a
quarter OF an inch, holds them In
place. The bracket should be fastened
TO the subbase at point that allows
the ticker coil, at its full extension.
10 come as close as possible TO the
secondary coil without actually
touching. The secondary coil faces
toward the condenser and the primary
toward the rear of the base.
In operation this arrangement Is
simplicity itself. The primary Is a
periodic and responds equally well
over considerable band Of wave
lengths. The secondary Is tuned en-
urely by the variable condenser.
When the tuning has been accom-
plished the proper amount of regen-
Grafton may be obtained by moving
the ticker coil in and out.
The circuit has now three separate
divisions and the oscillations are
more easily controlled and kept within
the limits Of the set. However, all
ordinary regenerative sets radiate TO
a certain extent, and therefore tuning
adjustments should be made as quick
~ as possible, keeping this in mind.
The previous little set 1 described does
not radiate any more than any other
set after a station has been tuned in,
and there being only one adjustment
the tuning can be accomplished so
rapidly that during this tuning work
very little can get out into the ether
TO cause interference. But people
have personal preferences, and for
those who prefer a three-circuit tuner
this present substitute unit has been
suggested.-New York Sun.

TO look as though the lesser

This is the talk In Washington. The
subject is the Presidency of the United
States. The greater brother is William
Jennings Bryan. The lesser is Charles
w. Bryan, Democratic nominee for the
vice presidency. 1t has been an
nounced that William Jennings will

The basis of all calculations is the

the election of President into the

effect deadlock there, which is held
likely, the vice president elected by
the senate will become President.
At national elections, the people In
reality vote for presidential electors
and not for the candidates. 1t is DOS
