SYRACUSE. N. Y, May 3.-The
Rev. Nicholas Ziombro, pastor of a

on trial in United States court on a
charge of conspiracy to smuggle
aliens into the United States from
Canada, changed his plea to
guilty" and was fined 5000 and sen.
fenced to three days in JAIL
Ziombro was specifically charged
with three offenses-conspiri with
Peter II. Pasnak to bring aliens
illegally into the country. bringing
a girl into New York State from
Montreal in August. 1923, and bring.

n. B. Terrett Reports Wonder
full Progress in Sales in
New Subdivision

Progress. that has been made In
the sales Of lots in the new sub
division, Fairlawn, according to
II. B. Terrett, promoter of the
project, has been exceedingly crafty
ing.
Two hundred and ten lots in this
subdivision were placed on sale
about eight months ago. These were
sold SO rapidly that Mr.. Terrett
deemed it necessary to open a new
section. The sale of these $50 new
lots was announced in this paper on
last Saturday. These are also beins
sold at a fast rate. Mr.. TerreLt
gives as reason for this, that the
people realize that property in that
section will eventually double itself
in value. His subdivision is adjoin
ing the New Anacostia Park. and

beautiful waterside parks in the

WIRE
Engineer Applies Novel Prac-
tice at Brooklyn Power
Station
szs:s,:s:sas:;;; :;:;:;s;,,sa:

The use Of bronze alloy trolley
wire for reinforcing was .'esurted
to last spring in one of the large
power stations of the Brooklyn
Rapid Transit Company, New York
city, where it was necessary TO
install large number of reactors
in connection with the high tension
switchboards.
The electrical engineer proposed
that trolley wire be cut up and
shaped instead of rods. 1t was
found that a large size trolley wire.
of which there was plenty on hand,
would make good substitute for
reinforcing rods.
New wire was used, which
proved entirely satisfactory. The
floor was poured with it as rein
forcement, ana there was no
trouble from the wire heating, ex-
cept where, through careless work,
two or more pieces had been al
lowed to touch.
In such cases the wire formed
closed circuit and currents were
induced in it. When carefully
placed, there was no trouble
caused from the heating.
AS there was no regular appara-
tus available for bending the wire,
it was bent around holts set into
holes in planks prepared for the
purpose. The wire used was not
hard drawn copper, which is the
material from which trolley wire
is made. but was a bronze alloy
and about so per cent stronger
than the usual copper wire.
The great difficulty in bending
it was because the wire was springy
and hard to keep in shape after
it had first been bent.

H|TECTURE
GOOD IN new
HOUSES
Recently Erected Suburban
Homes Lean Toward
Better Design

It Is indeed gratifying to note
the tendency of architects and
builders to get awey from the un-
interesting, box-like houses, giving
US instead. homes that at least
have some semblance of archi-
tectural merit. While the public
has not yet entirely signified its
full appreciation of good architec.
ture, the newer houses in both the
cities and suburban communities
give evidence of a leaning toward
better design. UnQuestionably,
American small house architecture
Is steadily mounting to higher levels,
which marks distinct achievement,
not only in the cultural life Of the
people but in the finest qualities
Of citizenship.
Good, architecture, like good ex-
amples@ of any other art, is etern-
ally good. 1t is in no way de-
pendent upon changing fancies.
The surface currents of public dis
approval cannot long persist
against the truth that is inherent
in good architecture. There were
periods when types of colonial ar
chitecture, II not in public dis.
favor, were at least disregarded,
WI OONnNSc NLCJ up To
the best standard OF the art they
have always commanded the ap.
prevail Of the discerning and have
never been more strongly en-
trenched in public favor than to-
day.
That architectural merit adds dol.
lars to the value of a house is
convincingly demonstrated when
old homes possessing architectural
distinction find ready sale at
good prices, while a poorly de.
signed dwelling is drug" on
the market. Many bizarre crea-
tons are produced by designers
who seem to think that when
multiplicity Of gables, OF project
ing rafters and sharply contrast
ing hues in stuccos and bricks are
achieved, the result is bound to
be pleasantly modern and desirable.
Investors are finding to their sor.
row, however, that this type of
house is passing out with the
jazz music of which it is SYM
bolical, and present builders would !
do well to keep this in mind if
they wish to realize full value on
their property.

sistance element between two ter.

shown in Figs. and 10 use is made
J OF the principle of the variation in
resistance obtained from carbon, or
graphite, or other such materials
are placed under varying degrees of
compression. In Fig. is shown a
| type in which two cam SHAPED cleo
troces are immersed in a resistance
liquid and in which the amount of
the surface of each electrode exposed
to the other, and consequently the
amount Of liquid between the two
electrodes Is varied by turning the
device around its horizontal axis.
The resistance of the device is varied
in that way
In Fig. 9 the length of a resist
ance strip is varied by immersine it
into mercury to different degrees.
The mercury acts as one terminal,
while the other end of the resistance
element is attached to another ter
minal. The resistance of the device
depends on the amount of resistance
material between one terminal and
the mercury.
In conclusion, it might be we'll to
mention that where the maximum eff
cheney is desired the variable grid
leak should be used. Where sim
plicity of operation is the governing
factor the variable grid leak can give

This consists Of a spring clip
mounting so designed that different
condensers of various capacities and
different fixed resistances may be in
serted or removed from their posi-
tions between spring terminals
Of the device.
Fixed grid leaks can be obtained in
variations Of about one-haIf megohm
SO that the grid leak resistance can
be adjusted within one-quarter of a
megohm within the exact value for
best results. The value of this
method lies in the fact that it is
possible to know just what value of
grid leak was used when tuning in
a particular station because the
values Of the resistances are marked
on each cartridge.
Before the value of the variable
grid leak in receiving distant sta
tipns can be understood 1t is neces-
sary to know something about the
action which takes place in the case
Of reception from nearby stations
and reception from distant stations.
Grid Variations Large.
In the reception Of nearby stations
the grid variations above and below
the normal value are rather large
because Of the strength Of the re-
ceived oscillations. In the case OF
reception from distant stations the
due to the lessened strength Of the
received energy.
grid oscillations, the greater will be
the attraction OF the negative cleo
irons to the grid and naturally the
greater the accumulation or mega
tive electrons on the grid and the
greater the necessity of allowing
them to leak of quickly. Best re-
suits from local stations which cause
grid voltage variations OF consider
able amplitude is, therefore, obtained
when the grid leak resistance is
comparatively low, 50 as to allow
the excess charges to leak OF quick ~
and prevent undue accumulation on
the grid.
In reception from distant stations
the amplitude of the grid voltage va.
riations is very much reduced. the &C.
cumuiation of electrons Is reduced
considerably, and the necessity Of al
lowing them to leak of quickly IL
not so great. TIE leakage can be
reduced. therefore, by increasing the
resistance of the grid leak.
To Get Best Results.
Best results can be obtained. then
by using q variable grid leak so that
the resistance can be adjusted to con-
form with the requirements Of the va
rious stations which are received, in
creasing the resistance for distant
stations and decreasing 1t for nearby
stations.
So great has been the awakening as
regards the value Of the variable grid
leak that there 2fe now many de-
