NOTED RUSSIAN PAINTER
SEEKS CITIZENSHIP HERE
ossip PereIma Must Live Year in
District Before Second Papers
Are Issued.

ossip Perelma, noted Russian
painter, who recently returned to
this city after an absence of three
years in France, today inquired at
the clerks Office of the District Su-
preme Court concerning his citizen
ship.
Mr.. Perelma took out his first
papers in San Francisco February 1,
1919, and shortly thereafter went to
France, where he filled a number OF
commissions, one of his paintings, a
portrait Of Frank b. Noyes. president
of the Associated Press, being pre-
sented to the French government,
which placed it in the Louvre. Dur
ing the war the artist made life size
paintings of Gen. Pershing. Gen.
Wood. Gen. McCawley, Mr.. Edison,
Henry Ford. Cardinal Gibbons and
other notables. His paintings, by
reason of their virility and striking
resemblances. created sensation
when on exhibition at the Corcoran
Gallery of Art and at the National
Museum.
Mr.. Perelma will have to be resi-
dent of the District for one year be-
fore his second naturalization papers
can be issued to him.

to the effect that be had been
advised that wild rice harvesting
machine was to be put in opera

Mr.. Wadsworth to proceed to the
lake and investigate, and in case
the report was true, to stop its
operations if possible. Such ma.
chimes destroy the rice beds and
DO so much damage that their use
is discouraged by all. The State

worth in few chosen words then
stated that his mission here was
for the purpose of presenting to
the White Earth Chippewas a
certificate of appreciation of the
Nation for the loyalty shown and
the sacrifices made by the White
Earth Chippewas during the
World War. The certificate was
signed by President Coolidge.
The certificate was left in the
custody of Attorney Beaulieu for
the present, or unit! the Chippewa
people decide just what disposition
shall be made of it. Mr.. Sletvold's
address was most appropriate and
we'll received. He dwelt at some
length on the matter of patriotism
and warned the people against
those politicians who would tamper
with the Constitution of the United
States, urging all to show their
patriotism on election days by
going to the polls and casting their
vote. Peter Parker, Civil War
veteran, and Joseph Bigbear also
addressed the meeting. Owing to
the absence from town of most of
our local musicians the program
was shorter than was intended.
Mrs. Stella Heisler rendered two
vocal selections accompanied by
Mrs. Linda Dugan on the piano
which drew enthusiastic applause
from the audience.
Mr.. Wadsworth stated that the
presenting of the certificate was
of solemn significance both to the
government and the Chippewas
and that it should always be a
treasured document. He also
stated that copy of the certificate
was to be framed and hung in the
agency Office at Cass Lake, and
also that the address given by
him on the occasion of its presen-

Chippewa Hold Meetings,
Meetings Held at Various Points Indicate That
aSsIution Of the Chippewa Controversy
May be Looked for 10 The Near
Future.

AS announced in the last issue
of The ToMAHAwK the Chippewa
Indians have been holding meetings
at various points relative to their
difficulties. Meetings have been
held at Pinehurst with the Chip
pewas living around Twin Lakes,
and at Onigum for those at Leech
Lake and surrounding country.
A meeting was also held at Rice
Lake, and at the request of those
who plan to be at the lake rice
picking, another meeting will be
held at Rice Lake, Thursday, Sep
TENDER 10, at which time Mr..
Dennison Wheelock will be present
to give the Indians such informa-
tion as he may be able to give for
the purpose of assisting the Indians
to express their own preferences
as to how they wish their matters
settled.
Mr.. Wheelock has requested US
to state that he is meeting the
ChipDewas without having any
ambition to become the attorney
for the tribe and would not now
accept such a job if offered, but is
simply seeking to help the Indians
to disentangle themselves from a
situation into which they have
been thrown by a conflict with the
Indian Office, attorneys. and
among themselves, and progress
has become impossible.
The meetings have developed
unanimous agreement among the
Indians that the time is ripe to ask
President Coolidge personally for
assistance to secure to the Chip
pewas, by legislation, first, the
enrolment of the Chippewas into
the competent and incompetent
classes, with right in the former to
withdraw their funds from the
United States Treasury, and the
latter to haye their funds so de-
posted as to permit them to have
the use of their money, under
proper. supervision, without the
necessity of appealing to Congress
periodically for such appropria-
ton. Second. that the Chippewas
be permitted by law to hold meet
ings of their own wherein the
affairs of all the Chippewas in
Minnesota las a whole) may be
considered, without having the
eternal question of faction
obtruding itself continually to the
front to becloud the real issue. and
third, for a jurisdictionaf bill, to
enable the Chippewas to recover
for shortages in favor of the In
dams in their various accounts with
the United States growing out of
treaty stipulations. If the bill
now pending in Congress to COM
pensate the Chippewas for the
Free Homestead Act, the Forestry
Act and timber claim, have no
provision to prejudice the Chippe-
was from asserting larger
amount to be due them, in the
Court of Claims, then they favor
their enactment. The placing, of
the amounts provided for in the
bills, to the credit of the Chippe-
was in the Treasury of the United
States would mean a saving to the
Chippewas of perhaps $500, 900 in
attorney fees, as under the juris.
dictlonal bill, very likely the
attorneys will be paid on the basis
of ten per cent of the recovery.

keep the Chippewas fully advised
of the progress of their matters in

Radio-Receiving Set Is
Further Improved Upon

The bureau of standards has de-
vised method of calculating the am
plification produced by the "tickler"
method of regeneration. This discov-
cry, in the opinion of experts, marks
another milestone along the road to
a perfect radio-receiving set.
The Importance of the discovery
can be estimated only when the neces-
sity of application is understood.
Amplification is needed to strengthen
weak signals, and also to operate a
loud speaker. Obviously, If amplifi-
cation can be calculated in advance,
it will result in clearer signals, as too
much amplification is just as bad as
not enough, since distortion resslts.
Hitherto, while 1t was well under
stood how to amplify radio signals by
regeneration in electron tube circuits,
there were very few data on the am
plification produced by this method
of regeneration.
'The amplification of received radio
signals by regeneration In electron-
tube circuits is well known" said the

from the plate circuit to the tuned
circuit connected to the grid of tho
electron tube. This method has been
used extensively In modern radio-re-
ceiving sets and Is known as the
ticker method of regeneration. How
ever, very few cumulative data have
been available on the amplificatior
produced by this method
"By means of a simple alternatiEs
current theory an equation has been
derived from which the amplification
produced by inductive feedback can
be calculated. This equation shows
that regeneration can be considered
as producing a reduction In the re-
sistance of the tuned circuit and Sc

derived was completely verified by ex-

place of the loud speaker unit. in
which case a clamp should be made TO
hold the earpiece as shown in the
cut. A loud speaker unit is recon-
mended, however and since this is the
only costly part a good one should be
purchased. This unit should be pur-
chased first and the holes in the disks
and flower pot drilled to fit the diam
eter of tube of this unit.
The screws should be of sufficient
length to mold the wood, felt and rub
Der disks firmly to the flower pot The
rubber may be cut from an old auto
mobile inner tube. To prevent any
possibility of rafting thick felt should
be glued onto the spots where the
speaker touches the table.
All the parts are to be made so
that they will fit into each other snug
ly, leaving no air spaces. Good glue
should then be used TO make them as
one piece.
For beauty the outside of the speak
err may then be painted, but the inside
should not be touched See that the
inside is clean and sandpaper 1t to give
a smooth surface.
If properly constructed this loud
speaker will be very clear and dis
tinct, with natural, mellow tones ON
both speech and music.

the connection "a" is absent, this con-
nection being made through the fila
ment lead "B" which connects all
stages together.
1t will be seen that the neutrodyne
circuit would not exist In. the CONNER
cial receivers unless the stages were
connected together by the use of
common A battery to operate all of the
tubes.
When the voltage difference between
the two ends of the plate coil 'P1 and
P2 becomes great enough To force Il
transfer of energy back to the grid cir
cult through the capacity of the tube
NC equal to the losses in the grid cir
cult, oscillation will commence, unless
stopped by some special means.
The eutlodyne employs neutralizinS
condensers for this purpose. The de-
resnadyne set employs the deresonated
plate circuit shown in Fig. 4. This diff
fers from the neutrodyne in that it
limits the voltage difference that can
be built up In the plate coil between
P1 and P2, thereby removing the basic
ducing electromagnetic and electroStat-
ic couplings to minimum.
How Result Is Accomplished.
This result is accomplished by prop
erly proportionlng the coil in the plate
circuit with respect to the grid circuit
and the incoming signal to which the
grid circuit is to be tuned. 1t is this
feature of detuning or deresonating the
plate circuit that suggested the name
''deresnadyne." DeresOnating is eff
fected by reducing the number of turns
in the primary of the coupling trans
formers in the plate circuit TO the
smallest number consistent with nigh
amplifcation and at the same time re-
ducing electromagnetic and electrosta-
tic couplings to a minimum.
The connecting wire B in Fig. 4,
which is the common filament lead in
the commercial deresnadyne set, can
be removed and separate A and bat
teries used for each stage without af-
fecting the operation. If the connect
ing flament wires were removed in
the commercial neutrodyne receiver, It's
operation would no longer be free from
oscillation because the neutrodyne cir
cult would no longer be present. In
addition to this, the transformers of
the deresnadyne can be connected so
that their primaries and secondaries
have the opposite polarity with respect
to one another If essential to the
operation of the neutrodyne as shown
in the drawings In the neutrodyne
shown in Fig the transformer turns
may run in the same direction If the
primary turns are reversed.

There are three common types of
tuned radio frequency receivers In use
today; the type that uses resistance
in the grid circuit to control oscilla-
ton, the neutrodyne method in which
the capacity within the tube is bal
anced out by the use of condensers of
small capacity, and the deresnadyne
method
The use of neutralizing condensers
signal somewhat and is usually diff
cult to adjust properly. The use of
resistance in the grid circuit, such as
potentiometer or "losser" as 1t is
sometimes called, also introduces losses
that cut down selectivity and distance.
If receiver can be constructed with
out the use of either of the above
methods, and still be stable and easy
to operate, the improved quality and
power of reception Is considerable.
The deresnadyne type of receiver
uses neither condensers nor resistances
to control self-oscillation. The plate
circuit is detuned or deresonated. SO
as to prevent the generation of excess
sive energy.
With present types of apparatus 1t
is only possible to use certain amount
of energy for clear, undisturbed am
plification. Any energy in excess of
this amount does not increase the sig
nal strength but does ruin the quality,
causing whistling and distortion.
Simple Way of Solving Problem.
Instead of allowing this excess
energy to be generated in the plate
circuit and then neutralizing or sup
pressing it in the grid circuit, the
deresnadyne principle simply prevents
1t from ever being generated. This is
the simplest and most fundamental
way of solving the problem by stopping
oscillation at its source in the plate
circuit. The result Is that the receiver
has a beautiful quality and freedom
from undesirable noises and at the
same time the greatest possible ampli-
tication
To great many the deresnadyne ap-
pears to be very similar to the neutro-
dyne, but the following will show that
it operates on fundamentally different
principles. In Fig. 8 the fundamental
circuit of the commercial neutrodyne
is shown in heavy lines, while the dot
ted lines represent the next stage.
Naturalization is accomplished by
means of the coil Nj and the con-
denser &c. In the commercial sets the
coil XII constitutes the secondary of
the transformer whose primary is the
coil PL. and NJ is the grid coil of the
succeeding tube which is shown in dot
ted lines In commercial neutrodynes
