RURAL CHURCH WORK
TOBE CONFERENCE TOPIC
Union Gathering to Seek Way Of
Tightening Burdens of Iso-
lated Persons.

By the Associated Press.
MADISON, Wis. June 2s.-Light-
ening the burdens of persons whose
lives are spent in the isolated sections
of the nation Is one Of the paramount
issues to come before the general
conference on rural church and social
work, beginning here June 80 at the
University Of Wisconsin. The con-
ference will be conducted by the COL
lege of agriculture and is designed
to bring together all elements striv-
ing to solve the problems of the rural
districts.
The general program provides for
the consideration of economic, socio-
logical and recreationa1 problems of
rural community life; boys work, or
ganization, health, auto mechanics and
general agricultural subjects. Dele
gates from virtually every state, rep
resenting the Roman Catholic. Epis-
copal and Lutheran communions. as
well as church bodies associated in
tho National Home Mission Council
and numerous civic organizations,
will attend.
In addition to the general dis
cussions specified subjects will be
taken up by groups. These will in
clude Red Cross secretaries, libra
rians, home economics for the wives
of clergymen, clergymen on parish
enterprises and the various denomi-
national programs.
Evening programs embracing joint
demonstrations of community music
plays and games, together with
motion picture work and joint social
affairs, also have been arranged

The work that Boy Scouts have al

Variable Grid Leaks and How They
Work.

WORK.
For'a long time no really reliable
form of variable grid leak was avail
able, so that most experimenters used
the fixed type, consisting OF a piece
of material impregnated with india
ink or other such higher resistance
material.
with the realization of the part
which variable grid leaks have on
the efficient operation Of critical
circuits, numerous methods Of obtain
ing this variation in high resistances
of the order of from 25o,ooo to 10000
900 ohms ~ to 10 megohms) have
been developed. many of them based
on very ingenious arrangements of
parts.
variable grid leak is the type in
which the variation of resistance is
obtained in practically the same way
as is the case in the carbon or
graphite disc rheostat described in
Yesterdays article. AS shown in
figure / this consists of two columns
of high-resistance discs A and b, with
an adjusting knob C SO arranged that
the pressure on the discs can be
varied by adjustment OF the knob
wo terminals. ID and r, at the end
Of each column are used to connect
the device into the circuit. The two
columns are connected in series through
the metal spring arm f. The only
difference between this device and the
rheostat of the same design is merely
a matter of size and composition OF
the discs. Those in the rheostat are
so designed as to give a low re-
sistance, while those in the grid leak
are designed to give a high resistance

new STYLE PROGRAM
TO BE TRIED BY WY
Four Evenings to Be Devoted to
"Omni-0ral Productions" as
Entertainment Is Called.

Station WY will present a new
and heretofore untried form of broad
cast entertainment during the week
of June 1922. The week will include
four evening performances which, for
lack of better term, have been
styled "omni-oral production" Each
performance will be Of two hours
duration, the invisible curtain rising
at 1880 o'clock on Thursday, June IT;
Thursday, June 10; Friday, June 20,
and Sunday, June %.
The basic principal Of the "omni-
oral productions" is to give radio
performance which is unified whole
in which each act, although complete
in itself, is an integral and coherent
part of the entire performance. While
the omni-oral production is primarily
designed to please the listener who
tunes to WY at 7:30 and remains
so tuned until the conclusion of the
program at $50, each act is in itself
as fully attractive and entertaining
as any features of similar nature on
present day programs.
Each performance will open with
an instrumental overture, allowing
the invisible audience d tuning
period" of five minutes Next will
come prologue, appropriate to the
duction and explaining the locale of
the acts which are to follow. Then
come the various episodes which
comprise the evenings performance
each of from fifteen minutes to a
half hour duration, each one varying
from its predecessor in type, but
dovetailing in atmosphere and color
with all the others. To the announcer
will be assigned the responsibility of
creating the mentl-picture scenery.
which will aid the listener to attend"
tn enew type performance.
For the week Of June 1922 the fol-
lowing productions will be presented
Tuesday, June II, "A Night With the
Conquistadores": Thursday. June 10,
"A Night Out of the Past; Friday,
June 20. sport; Sunday, June %, "A
Night at the Opera."
WY is presenting this idea with a
completely open mind; if it does not
meet with popular favor. it will be
abandoned; if il proves to be at least
a step in the right direction it will
be continued.

Various other sizes of variable re-
sistances taking in different resist
ance ranges are ootainable.
Liquid Rheo~tat.
Another type OF variable grid leak
which has enjoyed wide popularity
is one built along the lines of a
liquid rheostat. This consists of a
glass tube about half filled with a
high restance liquid. This type is
shown in figure 2. The general form
of the device is the same as the fixed
grid leak, except that it is larger in
diameter The length. however. is
the same as the standard grid leak
and it will fit the standard grid leak
mounting or the grid leak mount
ing lugs OF grid condensers.
Two cam-shaped electrodes. A and
b. are fastened to opposite ends of
the device. AS the device is turned
around it's horizontal axis the sur
face of the electrode faces which are
immersed in the liquid is varied The
surface of one electrode which is
consequently the amount of liquid
between the electrodes, is therefore
varied and the resistance is conse-
quently varied. The more the cleo
device. the more the amount of
liquid and consequently the less the
resistance of the element. The action
is similar to what takes place when
the size of a wire is increased The
larger the cross section of the wire,
the less the resistance which il offers
to the passage of the current.
A Simple Grid Leak.
Another form of variable grid leak is
remarkable both for it's effectiveness
and its simplicity. In this form.
shown in figure 8, A B is strip of high
resistance material. A c is a strip
of spring metal curving upward as
shown. D is an adjusting screw bear
ing on the spring metal G. AS the
screw is frightened. more and more of
the spring metal is brought in con-
tact with the resistance strip and the
resistance in the circuit is reduced.
The terminals of the device are at
opposite ends of the high resistance:
that is. at A and e. In figure ga, for
instance, the current must travel
through the high resistance from A
to B. In figure Sb, however, the
screw has been adjusted so that the
metal is in contact with the high re-
sistance strip up to the point E. the
current, therefore. in that case fol-
lows through the negligible resistance
Of the metal to point z and then con-
tinues through the portion e to b
of the high resistance element, so
that the effective resistance in the
circuit, if f is the midpoint of the
resistance element, is half that of
tho caset shown in figure ia. AS the

CLASSIFIED ADS TOPIC
AT EXECUTIVES SESSION
Methods Employed by Leaders in

By the Associated Press.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, June 1.-THE
classified department was the topic
chosen for discussion yesterday at
the joint meeting of the Association
Of Newspaper Advertising Executives
and the Association of Newspaper
Classified Advertising Managers in
session here.
R. E. Siler, classified manager of
the Los Angeles Examiner, detailed
means by which his paper had gone
to the front in classified advertising.
The two big secrets of classified ad-
vertising, he said, were the attitude
of tho newspaper and the publisher
toward this sort of advertising and
the rate charged, which would sus-
tain it's standard.
w. W. Miller, classified advertising g
manager of the New York Times, told
of the means and methods employed
by his paper to retain leadership in
this important phase of newspaper
advertising. The majority of adver-
tisements in the New York Times, he
said. were unsolicited, but a. large
number of them came through adver-
