A CORRECTION

OWING to an error in composition
" a different meaning from that in
tended was given to a paragraph in
last weeks editorial entitled "Why
They Fail" The passage in question
as printed read: "The point is, these
banks have not failed because of the
dishonesty nor recklessness of the
bankers, these business houses have
not failed because of the reduced
purchasing power of the farmers
products" 1t should have read: "The
point is, these banks have not
failed because of the dishonesty nor
recklessness of the bankers, these
business houses have not failed be-
cause of the Incidence nor faulty
methods of the merchants, but both
have failed because of the reduced
purchasing power of the farmers
products"

dated, but the last issue of the Cour-
rier-Reporter reminds its readers OF
that fact.
For long time Kennewick had
had two papers, and there was some
doubt as to the community's ability
to survive the shock of doing with
but one, but today it would probably
be hard to find anyone whose opinion
counted down there who would go
back to the old system.
A. r. Gardner and r. E. Reed have
been giving Kennewick far better
newspaper than the town ever had
before, and they were both in the bus
iness during the two-paper regime,
too. They have been giving Wash
ington a country newspaper that
stands out as one of her very best
No town under 5000 ought 20 have
two publishing plants. 1t costs toe
much to produce good newspapers
as is being proven in New York
where millions are being spent fol
newspapers only to kill them wher
purchased. Consultations have beer
found to pay in large cities and alsc
in scores of small towns the country
over. There have been many in thi.
state, and in every instance the com
munity has been bettered.
In every small community Boosting
two newspapers, one or the othel
ought to buy, or the publish
ers should effect a consolidation. Il
is false and fading notion that :
small town should have more thar
one newspaper.
The Courier-Reporter is to be con
graduated upon its success, and Ken
newick is to be congratulated in hav
ing the good sense to confine its sup
port to Messrs. Gardner and Reed

mate the tendency of the circuit to
go into oscillation. however, they also
tend to decFease-the-s sensitfvity and
selectivity of the circuit so that they
are at best necessary evil. 1t is, OF
course, easy to prevent the grid and
plate circuits of tube from being in
resonance with each other by proper
designing or adjusting the elements
in the circuit.
This, however, is not desirabls
because 1T also reduces the efficiency
of the circuit.
The next possibility is the eIimina-
ton of the tube grid-to-plate capa-
city. This can be done by proper
design of the tubes and by the
naturalization method used in Hazel
tines neutrodyne circuit, and pSo-
vides the best method of oyerconing
the undesirable tendency without the
introduction of other undesirable
elements.
The next method is the elimination
Of induetiye coupling between the
plate and grid circuit of the type
which aids regeneration and the sub
stitution Of a type which suppreeses
any tendency of the circuit to oscil-
late. This method uses a ticker coil
in the same manner as the ordinary
regenerative circuit, but reyerses the
polarity of the uckler coil with
respect to the grid coil producing
the "superdyne" circuit
The use of these methods elimin-
ates the tendency of the circuit to
go into oscillation, making it simple
to operate without decreasing it's
efficiency.
In this way regeneration is allowed
to come in when in the form of Dr.
.JekyIl, but kept out when he tries
the tricks of Mr.. Hyde.

ESPERANTO ADOPTED
FOR WORLD RADIO USE
a. r. r. L. Directors Decide on
International Tongue, Which
Thousands Speak.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
HARTFORD. Conn, August Oh
After two-year survey of the inter-
national language situation, THE Ameri-
can Radio Relay League, with certain
qualifications. has decided in favor of
Esperanto as it's official International
auxiliary language. this action having
been taken by the A. r. r. L. board
of directors at their annual meeting in
this city.
This decision was made on the ground
that Esperanto is easily the chief of
the auxiliary languages, and has by far
the greatest number of followers, with
hundreds of thousands OF users. Not
wishing to enter upon the subject un-
advisedly, the league first communicated
with all of the national amateur radio
societies of the world, and all of these
which expressed an opinion in favor of
any artihclal language recommended
Esperanto.
Interest in an international language
developed rapidly among members of
the A. r. r. l.. following the successful
communication In radio telegraph code
between transmitting amateurs in the
United States and Canada and those in
many foreign countries. The necessity
for the Endorsement of an auxiliary
language has become particularly an
parent as result of the increasing
interest Of amateurs in international
communication during the past year.
There Is every reason to suppose, the
A. r. r. L. believes. that radio COM
munication in code between the pri-
vate citizens Of one country and those
Of another will become even
more popular the coming winter, maxi
ing the use of an auxiliary language by
the amateur radio operators of the
iv,y
societies exist in most Of the large
cities, it was pointed out and the
language may be learned In a very
short time.

In the reSenerative circuit the
oscillations produced by the oscillater
action Of the tube combine with the
received oscillation to produce q
stronger grid voltage variation and
consequent greater response in the
plate circuit of the tube.
1t 10 necessary, however, that the
ciFcutts be tuned to the proper ire
quency because the frequency Of the
local oscillation must be the same as
that of the received oscillation. The
frequency of the local oscillation is
controlled by the condenser across the
troled by the coupling adjustment be-
tween the grid and plate coils.
+ In regenerative circuits this ability
Of the tube to act as an oscillator is
very desirable and increases consid-
erably the distance range OF the set

ceived.

cult which compares in general ef-
hcieAcy with the regenerative detector

has its Limitations, and, while it is

good results when used with a very
