The headings can be copied in a yer.

The time at which reception takes
pace is an important factor, for it
gives you an idea of how reception
at different times of the day com
also note the dates so that you can
compare reception over different
periods Of the year.
Degree OF L0adnenA
In the column of How Received"
you can jot down the degree of
loudness, whether or not there was
any interference, whether the tuning
was critical, whether you noticed any
fading effects and the many other
conditions of reception. 1t is well
therefore to use. a comparatively
large space for this heading, or to
the page Of some note book where a
complete account of the reception
can be written.
If you are of an experimental turn
of mind and are continually changing
your sets around you will also want
to know what type of circuit you
used in getting the results you got
on that particular occasion. Here
also you can write down all the de-
tails and circuit diagrams in a sepa-
rate book and refer to it by page
in the log column.
The controls of different sets, of
course, vary considerably, so that it
Is impossible to list the controls to
cover all cases. These lists of con-
trolls will have to be made especially
for the set you are using A good
way of doing this is to draw q dia-
gram Of the front of the panel, giving
each control element a number such
as l, 2, 8, etc.
II you are using different types
of aerials and grounds it is also
necessary to record the type you used
to get the station with those settings
Of your controls.
It is also advisable to take battery
readings SO that you can compare re-
suits in clarity and strength Of sig
nails under different conditions of
your battery readings.
If you will follow out this sug-
gestion, keeping a record of your
stations and the settings at which
they come in. you will be able to get
better results from your set without
causing any undue annoyance to
your neighbors.

Keep q Log of Your Stations.

If you have ever sat down to your
receiver with a roomful Of friends
eager to hear what is going on you
have undoubtedly had the experience
of having one of them say, "Oh. I see
by the program that station XYZ Is
having some dance music at this
time. Won't you get that station on
your set so that we can dance to
their music?'
whereupon you have probably
fused at your controls, turned them
this way and that way, turned off the
loudspeaKer so that they would not
and hammering that went on in the
tuning process until, finally. after
many trys you succeeded in tuning in
the station desired. All the while the
said roomful of friends were proba-
bly, making wise cracks about the
skill that it required to operate one
of those sets. and in some cases max
ing suggestions about what should
be done under the circumstances.
That phase Of the situation, how
must be considered. II the set you
were using was one of the regenera-
tive types which gave rise to whis-
ties in the, neighboring sets as you
adjust the controls. your 1nabllfty 10
tune the set quickly produced such
whistles in their sets for long pc
riods of time and spoiled the fun not
only for your friends who were ex-
pectantly waiting for the music they
wanted to hear. but caused whistles
in the sets of your neighbors. making
reception on their sets anything but
pleasant.
Trouble Unnecessary.
The funny thing about all this is
that all the fuss and bother and
trouble was absolutely unnecessary.
While it is not always possible to
get the same station on exactly the
same setting as 1T was received on
some previous evening. the approx
mate settings Of the controls can be
obtained so that all that is required
to tune in the station to best advan-
tage is to make a slight adjustment
of the controls, thing that c1n be
done in a very short time.
A representative log showing the
headings or facts usually wanted
about a given station is given below.
With such facts as a guide 1t Is pos
sible for you to know definitely the
capabilities Of your set and the way
in which you can bring them out to
best advantage.

Special Dispatch to The Omaha Bee.
Dunbar, Neb., Oct. 2s.-If Robert
NJ. La Toilette goes into the White
house March 4. next, a ripple from
that disturbance of the political
pond will play havoc here.
Some time ago Dunbar approved
a proposed town water plant by
voting bonds to the amount OF
SIT, 1900. A well was available and
the funds, to be raised by the sale
of bonds, were intended to erect a
pump house and purchase pumping
machinery. A short time ago bids
were sought and received on the
pump house, which is also intended
to provide room for fire equip
ment. It was estimated that $4,000
would cover the cost of the struc-
ture. Another $4,000, 1t was be-
lieved, would be necessary to COM
rlete the project.
However, no contract has been
awarded and no contract will be
awarded unless Coolidge or Davis
is successful at the election, ac-
cording to members of the village
board. Should La Toilette win
next Tuesday the town of Dunbar,
with its $50 citizens, will go with
out a water plant.

devised a system OF awarding the
letter "B" that has not been at
tempted by any other school in the
state.
A student who excels in general
scholarship will get black "B" with
a diagonal bar: those participating In
state or district contests will get the
letters "B S." excellence in general
school activities will be recognized
with the letters "B A. basketball
players will be given the "B" in q

NEW RADIO TRANSMISSION
 WITHOUT CARRIER WAVES
Station WRM Succeeds in Tests Which Give Clearer Tones and Distance

rrbana, H., May to.-Radio trans mission without carrier waves has been successfully demonstrated by station wRM, of the University of Illinois, and further experiments are under way, scientists at the institution announced today.
 Tests have brought responses from all over the United States that signals broadcast by the new method dis covered at the university came in loud and clear"
 Under the present system of broad casting, the carrier wave, upon which the sound wave is impressed, conveys all manner of sounds and only the meditation intensity of the transmit ter and the action of the detector in eliminating the carried wave to more or less degree. enables the sound fre- quency to be heard in the receiver. often foreign noises picked up by the carrier wave become audible sounds in the receiver, interfering with per- feet reception.
 With the new device only the modu- lated sound freauencies are broadcast and these, according to the college scientists, are devoid of the carrier wave tendency to pick up extraneous noises.
 Sending efficiency is increased, tun- Ing is made more selective at the re- cejyer because of the sharper deere msnt and much greater distance may he covered.

Monday evening will be the last chance for any local boy or girl under the age of Is to get their names on the list. TO do so it is necessary to clip an entry blank from the Herald and

 The tournament is to start We'd nesday after school when there will be games in every school yard. The lists will be so made up that school mates will play against each other in the preliminaries.

Joplin; Mo-, May 10.--A woman's desire to avenge blighted love and to blackmail the man who spurned her was the motive behind the kidnapping of Freddie Leib at Quincy. Illinois bS years ago, according to the statement here of a man known Ps Robert T. Clark, 5s, who declared he has es- abolished his identity as the long lost Freddie.

 Clark has been a steel worker at Croydon, Pa.
 His story is that he was taken from his home by woman, the hireling of wealthy woman who had once loved his father and had sought revenge against his mother. He also declared that the woman sought to blackmail his father after the kidnapping by at tempting brand him as the father of child born out of wedlock.
