in spiderweb fashion, with "a
turns of No. % DEC wire. The
rotor gets 60 turns of the same
wire.
Connect the inner terminal of
the stator to the outer terminal of
the rotor, leaving the inner
terminal Of the rotor and the
outer end of the stator free for
connection % the rest of the
circuit.
Take the top and bottom off the
cigar box, leaving a frame for the
variometer. Drive a small nail
through the exact center of one
end, and bore a hole the size of
the shaft you will use through the
exact center of the opposite end.
How It's Attached
The shaft may be length Of
dwelling. 3-16 inch thick, that will
reach through the hole to the OPP
posite end of the box. and leave
enough for the attachment Of
knob or dial. A brass rod may also
serve the purpose.
This shaft is made to run
through two brass rings attached
to each end of the stator. The
roto ris attached firmly to it by
wire, so that when it is turned,
the rotor will turn with it and
stay within the open circle Of the
stator.
Corks may be attached to each
side of the stator to keep it in
place.
In order to allow the rotor all
the room it needs for turning on
its axis, the connection between
it and the stator should be made
loose enough for the movement.

even shame. terminating even in
murder. OF course there is a hap

have ordered such an affection. This
play is a little more logical than the
usual pattern. The suffering of Tess
seems to have universal appeal. The
role gives fine dramatic chances to
any actress. although these scenes
are essentially melodramatic.
This version of Tess will be re

made by Miss Sweet. and also re-

MEASURES WAVES
WITH YARDSTICK
Simple Way Found to See
Motion.

By Y Ia SeFllCe
HARTFORD, Conn. Sept. "a
The invisible radio waves which
carry broadcast programs and mes
sages through the air have been
measured with a simple yardsuck!
S. KrUse, technical editor Of QST,
journal OF the American Radio Re
lay League, has accomplished this
feat. It was prompted by the de
sire to find a means of measuring the
short waves below so meters, of
those permitted TO amateurs by the
latest Department OF Commerce rul-
ing.
Wave motions can be compared
TO the curves in a rope fixed at one
end and moved up and down stead
lily at the other. When two parGl-
lei wires are connected TO the oscil-
lator that produces these wave mo-
siont, and just the right tunining is
obtained. the oscillations or wave
motions would conform and practi-
cally be superimpOsed.
A neOn-filled tube connected across
the ends OF these wires opposite the
oscillator Will light when this res
Onanca is obtained.
If a sliding jumper" or piece OF
copper wire is connected across the
parallel wires, at some points the
tub evil light, and at others it will
go out. The places where the tube
lights are the points of no voltage.
The distance between two such
neighboring points equals half d
wavelength.
1t is d simple matter. then. to
apply a yard stick TO measure thu
wavelength.

WANT NEW ROAD Fairfield Delegation Calls On Board Of Revenue Friday

A delegation headed by Dr. c. J. Mcdonald of Fairfield appeared before the board of revenue Friday and asked that the board authorize construction of road to be known as the Jay Bird road, connecting Rutledge Springs and Brighton. The proposed road will be about 214 miles long and cost approxi- mately $1S,00O.
 Action on the request was deferred until a later meeting of the board. When the vote was taken, President D. c. Ball and W. B. Copeland voted against the proposal on the ground that the county treasury did not have suf- ficient funds to pay for such a project; and Jerry Gwinn and Lacey Edmund son voted in favor of it. T. B. Huey declined to vote, stating that he wished to investigate the condition of county finances before expressing himself off cially for or against the project. It was then decided to defer action pend- ing a full investigation of the need for such a road.
