WHAT CAUSES "HoWLS"
ON ONES RECEIVING SET

The ticker coil and coil Of wire
should be placed in inductive rela-
ton to the primary and secondary
circuits Of a receiving set. The tick.
Ter coil itself is connected in the
plate circuit Of the vacuum tube and
affords a feed back action which
produces degeneration.
The function of the ticker is best
explained by describing what hap
pens II you take the telephone re-
oeiver from the hook when the bell
is ringing and then place the receiver
against the transmitter.
The result will be a continued
bowling. In a radio set when su,
a howl is heard It Is certain that re-
generation is taking place.

While it Is rather stale news now
it will be interesting to many in this
section to know that at a meeting held
in the Oritani Field Club, Hacken-
sack, on last Thursday afternoon, Mrs.
Edward Kenney, wife of the defeated
candidate at the Mayoralty election
last November, asked Mayor Marini
some questions that were no doubt
meant to be embarrassing.
Mrs. Kenney made it plain to those
present that Marini was first a So
cialist, then a Republican, and then
a Democrat, and she even had last
years ballots to prove it.
She also asked Mr.. Marini where
he was born and despite the fact he
was given the alternative of answer.
ing the question or not answering it
by the chairwoman, he promptly said
Italy and explained that he came to
this country as an infant.

Necessarily, the work of reconstruc-

hours Of unremitting activity over
100 OF the 142 long distance circuits
out of order had been restored to the
service. Within three days service to

SUCCESS OF DAWES
 PLAN SEEMS LIKELY
London Conference Disposed to
 Give Proposals a Chance
By The Associated Press.

By 1ne Associated Prcss.
 London. July 23.--The Inter-allied conference will undoubtedly be sue. cessful and the Dawes plan will be given its chance 10 solve Europe's economic ills despite the present dif- ferences between bankers and the | conference delegates over guarantees for the 4o,000,o00 pound German loan, leading American financier to- day told the Associated Press before sailing for home after having for several days been in the closest touch with conference proceedings.
 This authority. who has followed the Dawes plan since its inception, declared there was no question among bankers regarding the existence of ample guarantees which will insure the comparatively small sum required for the service of the loan The problems, he added 10 reduce the potential guarantees to definite forms which will stand as a solid basis of credit.
 It will be the conferences task during the next few days to put into writing and reach complete agree- ment on some such plan on sanctions and defaults as that proposed by American Ambassador Kellogg yes- terday, 1t was stated. The American fnancier was not certain that the Kellogg proposal would prove satis- factory to all of the allies, but he said it would be a basis for the con- ference to work on and from 1t the final agreement on guarantees would be developed
 The financier characterized the differences which have been delaying the conference as trivial and said there was not the slightest probabil- itv of the allied delegations leaving London without accomplishing ths purpose of their meeting, namely that of making the Dawes scheme effective.
