On The Chicago Livestock Market

Monday-receipts $4,000 cattle. Kansas
City reported $4,000, Omaha $4,000, st.
Louis and st. Paul $4,000, and liberal runs
at all other markets. The big run was
a great surprise to the trade, more es-
p~ecially when the market last week was in
such bad shape on all grades except choice
weighing anywhere from HOO to 1900
lbs. The big run gave buyers the ad-
vantage and while yearlings and a few
prime two-year-olds held steady, several
drOves selling from $11.15 for ~yearlings to
$11.35 for prime two-year-olds. The gen
eral market on what dressed beef and
shipping steers buyers would take showed
as much as % cents to 40 cents decline,
and the yards could not be cleared. Many
plain fat heavy and medium steers re-
ceiVed no offer.
T~uesday-13,O0 600. There was a good de-
mand for yearlings, there being very few
steady. All other grades Of dressed beef
and shipping steers sold low with the
exception Of a few prime heavy steers
which sold steady.
Wednesday-17,000 which was 5000 more
than expected. Quality was very good,
the market on yearlings was steady, with
AZ head of very prime steers selling for
$11.35, averaging 1886 lbs. All other grades
Of dressed beef and shipping steers sold
25c to 40e lower, and even at this decline
the yards could not be cleared, a great

and desirable dressed beef and shipping
steers sold steady. All other grades were
very dull and draggy. The eastern ship
ping demand has not been so good this
week as it has for several weeks past,
and the immediate prospect is not so

quite a number of Jewish holidays com

when their sale will not be affected by
these holidays.
HOGs-Receipts today $4,000, with IT,
600 left from yesterday. The market was
weak, prices averaging 25c lower. Big
packers bought sparingly and there is a
big hold-oyer tonight, with prospects of
further decline.

This woman warned Major Cul-
bertson that the Crows planned to
attack the fort. Had it not been
for this timely information the fort
would undoubtedly have been ia
ken. All care, however, did not
operate to save the horses of the
post; some thirty in number, which
were driven off by a party of
Crows.
In June the Crows came in force,
and camped near the fort. They
pretended they came to arrange for
the return of the horses. Major
Culbertson said that if that were
true, they should bring the horses
to the gate of the fort and leave
them there. This they refused to
do, and then undertook to besiege
the fort.
No shots were exchanged on
either side. Major C~ulbertson,
wishing to gain their trade, did not
care to antagonize them. At length,
learning that several of the en-
ployes we're planning to escape, and
after ten days of starvation, when
they were obliged to boil up buff

CondenSers Used i'm Radio.

Unless the word condenser" is
qualified by some explanatory term
its use and value in a radio receiving
set cannot be determined. There are
various types of condensers, some
useful in some connections and 9TH
ers useful in other connections.
Some condensers which can be used
in certain places are practically, il
not totally. useless in other cases.
In general condensers are divided
into two large classes. The first class
includes fixed condensers, in which
the capacity value of the condenser
is fixed at the time of its manufac-
ture and whose capacity remains
practically unchanged in use. The
second class comprises those types
of condenSers which are so construct
ed that the capacity value of the
condenser can be adjusted to any
value within the range of the con-
denSer.
To Get Best Results.
For best results where fixed con-
denserS are used in a circuit 1t is
absolutely essential that the capacity
value remain the same day in and
day out. For this reason it is neces
Sary when using these condensers to
make sure to get those made by some
reliable manufacturer who has
reputation for making condensers
whose capacities do not vary under
the influences of changes in weather
conditions.
Fixed condenserS are made in va
rious sizes and with various types
of dieIectric The dielectric Is the
insulation material which separates
the metal or conducting surfaces
which make up the plates Of the con-
denSer.
By far the best type of commercial
fixed condenser is the one which
uses a good grade Of mica for it's
finished condenser is put under high
pressure, so that when finally finish
ed the shape and constants of the
condenser will remain constant.
There are many condensers on the
market whose dielectric material is
paper instead of mica Such con-
densers have high losses and are not
fit for use in radio circuits
Fixed condensers of the solid dielec-
trio type, such as mica fixed condenSers,
are not the most efficient types to use in
the tuning circuits OF radio receivers,
but in many cases because of the con-
venience of their small size and the ad-
vantages of their low cost they are used
for such purposes. We therefore find
fixed condensers being used in series in
the aerial circuits to cut down the wave
length of the aerial system; connected
in parallel with variable condenSers to
increase the capacity of the variable
condenser; as the condenser in de-
tector circuits and as bypass con-
densers across phones and B batteries.
Mistake Often Made.
Therefore fans make the mistake Of
applying a hot iron to the terminals of
some fixed condensers which were never
designed to stand such treatment I'm

Senator Shortridge charges that

through his secretary that the date
was May 20, and, in addition, that
he must submit an advance copy of
his speech. Representative Free,

RAINMAkER DRAWS
FIRE OF RADIO FANS
Apparatus to Force Water From

Static Producer.
FARMERS FIGHT DIRECTORS
Hold That Crops Are More I'm

BY Consolidated Press.

SAN FRANCISCO, Calf. May D
The quarter of a million radio fans
and the thirty thousand farmers in this
vicinity are engaged in acrimonious
debate today over the question of
which is most important-radio con-
certs or rain.
William J. Collonan. who claims
prowess as ''rainmaker," is the bone
of contention.
Collonan recently pointed with pride
TO a couple of unforecaSt showers
which followed hard on the heels of
his agitation of the ether with his
electrical '-rainmaking" apparatus. As
a result, he has several contracts from
farmers along the San Francisco
peninsula to produce moisture to save
their crops.
Difference of Opinion.
One of his machines is located here
and the other at San Jose. fifty miles
away. Every day he points the ma
chimes toward each other and turns on
the juice. This, he says. will affect
atmospheric changes and cause ram
TO fall.
The radio fans, however. contend
that the only thing Collonan is pro-
tucing is static, which is knocking all
the fun out of owning a radio receiving
set in this part of the world.
Collonan insists that his apparatus
does not produce static. His rain
seeking waves, he contends, travel
at a much higher altitude in their
quest of clouds than do the radio
waves.
The radio fans retort that static
develops only when the rainmaker
is conducting his campaign for show
ers, and that is his theory of rain
making is largely pipe dream any
way. he should be kept from sending
them concertleSS to bed.
Legal Fight Likely.
Just now. largely because Secre-
tary of Commerce Hoover, while ex-
ercising some control over radio
users. has no authority over would
lie rainmaker the controversy be
tween the pro and anti-rainmaking
forces is at an impasse
The farmers are standing staunchly
behind Collonan, and urging him to
keep UP his activities. The radio
fans-or some of them-have pooled
their pocketbooks and hired a lawyer,
Who is delving through his Black
stone in quest of Il legal precedent
on which to base an action against
the rainmaker.
Meanwhile. the crops continue TO
parch and the farmers aver that if
the radio bugs don't let Collonan
alone they'll have to whistle for their
fruit and vegetable supply this sum
mer.

less the condenser is provided with spe-
cial soldering lugs do not attempt TO
solder to its terminals, as the heat of
the iron will have an effect in chang
ing the physical and electrical char
acteristics of the condenser. In such
cases a good contact can be made by
the usual screw-and-nut method.
There have lately appeared on the
market many variable condensers using
the solid dielectric features of fixed
condensers. The greatest advantage
claimed for them is that they are very
compact These condensers. however,
regardless of what may be claimed for
them. are not as efficient as the air
dielectric condensers.
Finally, remember that the condenser
is a very important part of your radio
equipment The difference in cost be-
tween good and a poor condenser is
comparatively very small. Here of all
places it does not pay to be penny wise
and pound foolish.
