ASKED THE HERALD

Question-Is there joker in the
constitutional amendment by which
the legislators being raised $3.50 per
annum will be paid $1,000 more per
term of two years than now?
Answer-No joker at all Read the
ballot in this issue. 1t plainly sets
forth that the pay is to be $1,000 per
term instead of $500 as at present
Our opinion is that the voters should
pass the amendment but our guess is
they won't We should be able to see
that high taxes are due frequently to
incompetence in the legislature and
that by paying capable men enough
salary to live on while in Madisaon
they might be able to save their
wages many time over. We should
see this but we will see the drip at
the spigct instead of the flood at the
bunghole.
Question-What is the meaning of
this Teapot Dome controversy? / read
a lot about it but get more mixed up
all the time. Evidently somebody stole
omething-Who did it?
Answer-The Teapot Dome scandal
concerns the lease Of naval oil reserve
lands to the Sinclair Oil Syndicate.
This happened three years ago. Al
bert e. Fall, then secretary of the In
terror, approved the leases. Fall,
Harding appointee, had a bad record
for opening up to private exploita-
ton government forest, coal and oil
lands in various parts of the country
and Alaska. About the same time the
government, through Fall, leased an
nf oil in No1i rs ho
Edward F. Doheny syndicate. Doheny
has since declared he expected to
make one hundred million dollars out
of his lease.
A few months ago the matter came
to light. A senatorial investigation
followed. The efforts of Senator
Walsh of Montana has resulted in an
exposure of the various shady tran
sactions. AS part of his consideration
for his infamy Fall has admitted he re-
ceived 100000 from Doheny, as a
loan" The scandal has rocked the
country. Fall, deposed before his ex-
posture. is broken and disgraced man
facing Indictment DENLY, secretary of
the navy who approved the leases, re-
signed. 1t is generally conceded that
he was honest but "easy." Harry f.
Doherty, present U. S. attorney gener-
al, is under fire now and will prob
ably be out of the cabinet shortly.
The Investigation is not completed.
President Coolidge has declared that
no one will be protected.
Question-What do you think of the
local contest for mayor and is it
dry and wet fight?
Answer-We do not consider it a
"dry and wet fight" Either of the two
candidates will enforce the laws and
conform to public sentiment which is
opposed to bootlegging and law viola
tiOnS.
Both Mr.. Bennett and Mr. Beck are
successful business men of good
standing and long residence. Both are
heavy taxpayers. Both have the well
fare Of Lancaster at heart. While ev-
eryone has their preference we see no
good reason for a contest becoming an
undigniffed mud-slinging campaign
such as often happens. If it does it

POLICE To HAVE
PORTABLE !.
SETS
General Butler Is Planning to
Equip All Stations In
Philadelphia.

PHILADELPHIA, April 21.-All
police stations and automobiles Of
the police department VIII soon be
equipped with radio sets, it was an
nounced by Director, Smedley D.
Butler, following tests with portable
receivers installed in the directors
and assistant directors automobiles.
installations will be made after a
series of tests to determine which
type of receiver is best suited for
the work.
The first test, made with four
tube receivers installed in the cars
of the director and his assistant
disclosed certain dead spots" in
the center Of the city. The expert
ments will be of value to the radio
public generally for the tests ulti-
mately will show fans just what
type Of receivers work well in au-
tomobiIes.
When the two cars left City Hall
courtyard it was found that the
iron structure of the municipal
building affected the reception and
it was necessary to use a straight
wire thrown over the tonneau to
prevent fading Of signals.
Although the signals received
from Philadelphia stations bread
casting special test programs did
not fade entirely in certain parts
of the center of the city, their vol
ume was decreased greatly when
the ears were driven past steel
buildings.
Buildings four or five stories tail
did not affect the reception greatly
Another peculiar thing was that
the Reading Terminal did not re-
duce the signals, despite the fact
that the building has a steel frame
work.
Still another interesting point in
the experiments was that the ign
ton system of the automobiles did
not appear to interfere with the
reception.
U, p. Leclair, of the Bureau of
Engineers, u, S. NJ, with Frank E.
Maize, Chief of the Electrical Blu
reau, and William Gault, Manager
Of the Electric Bureau, installed the
sets and made the tests.
1t Is planned, with the $50, 900
appropriation made by council for
the purpose to erect upon City Hall
tower a large radio transmitter.

this set will be used to instruct cars
cruising for bandits.

possible for one man to speak to

The tubes sold for receptions OF
broadcasted programs are hard CT
amplifier tubes with the exception
of the UV200 and C300, which are
used for detectors exclusively, and
are known as soft tubes. They
haven't as high vacuum as the
others. They require low plate volt
ages, ranging between 16ts and
221s. Some work best on the lower
voltage and others on the higher
The variation in plate current is
best obtained with the use of a
potentiometer, which is connected
across the A battery. and the mega.

Hard tubes. such as the WD type,
1893, 20l, cola and C 301a and C299,
when used as detectors are con.
nected as shown in Figure 2. I'm.
like the soft tubes, whose grid re.
turn is connected to the negative
filament, the grid return of these
tubes go TO the positive A bait cry.
Also, when these same tubes are
used as amplifiers, the grid return
Is connected 10 the negative A hat
terry and not the positive. When
high plate voltages are used and q
c battery inserted in the grid re-
turn, the negative of the c battery
goes to the transformer AMI the
positive of it goes to the negative
A battery The same as though no
G battery were used. This is
shown in Figure g..
Where radio frequency amplifi.
cation is used and potentiometer
or stabilizer is used, it should be
connected as shown in Figure 4
If potentiometer is not used, it is
the usual practice to connect them
similar to plain audio frequency
amplifiers, bringing the grid return
to the negative A battery.
Due to the 200 and 800 tubes
consuming so much current leach
require one amperel the average
listener uses hard tubes such as
WD, 1919 or cola, due to their low
current consumption. When these
are used it is customary to increase
the plate voltage on the detectur
and very good results are obtained.
The hard tubes are not as sensitive
az the soft one but on the other
hand they are not critical In either
filament or plate adjustment and
this makes their operation more
uniform.
Where portable set. and by
portable is meant without a heavy
storage battery, is contemplated
the uss OF the 200 or 900 tube is
impractical. The best part of the
200 and 800 tubes is, they are@rlore
susceptible to weak signal than
they are to a strong one and tol
this reason receive from greater
distances than the hard tubes. The
lard tubes will reproduce strong OF
local signals much better. Some
local signals will paralyze a soft
tube.

His son, Fred Hepp, homesteaded
800 acres adjoining the patented land
on the south. He, too, has been bat
ting through drouth years. He has
an excellent education in music. This
talent he has turned to profit by play
ing for country dances in the Big
Lake district. He doesn't like Jazz,
but played because he needed the
money. He has been working as a
roustabout Mt the well. His wife has
been employed in the cook shack of
the Midwest camp while "Grandma"
Hepp has helped care for the two
grandchildren.
Royalties on the 80 acres on which
the well was drilled are quoted at $50
to $50 per point which is one per
cent on one acre, but there is little
if any royalty available at this or any
other price. The good work of the
dairy cows, together with a crop last
year and a day wage at the well have
left the Hepps free from any serious
financial worry.

Not so with Charles Hepp. He had
homesteaded his land, six years before
and he was determined to stay it out.
He turned to diversification. Thus
he secured some cows and began sell
ing milk and cream. 1t was the
cream money that made it possible
for the Hepp family to tide over
the drouth period. Now the Basin
is yielding big crops again.
Mr.. Hepp's confidence was not in
oil, in those days, but in the fertile
soil. 1t was this confidence that led
him to increase his farm from 100
acres, the area of his original home
stead, to $50 acres. He bought two
adjoining farms from homesteaders
who gave up. He paid $3.50 an acre
for the tract on which the discovery
well was drilled.
This particular piece was home
steaded by a travelling salesman who
proved up on it. He died and his
widow went to Chicago where she
