Brewer, department Of justice attor-

wholesale dismissals in the bureau by
President Harding, contained no eie.
ment of fact, Mr.. Mellon asserted. He
informed the chief executive that he

gation, to confirm the integrity OF
the governments securities.

ALLIES APPROVE
EXPERTS REPORT
Replies From Four Big Powers
Accept Committees Find
ings Wholly.

Pars.-The replies of the four big
allied powers to the reparation com
missions communication regarding
the Dawes report have been delivered,
All accept the committees finding
wholly.
France alone raises the question Of
procedure, while Italy declares the re.
port to be IAN indivisable whole" which
should be taken in its entirety without
condition or qualification.
Frances reply was written by Prem
Ter Poincare. After saying he had
studied the reports with the greatest
interest, the reply continues:
They fulfill exactly the tasks as.
signed them by the commission and
form an extremely interesting and
complete whole, and l can only con
graduate myself on having taken the
initiative in requesting the French
delegate on the PREPARATION commission
to propose the convocation of the ex-
perts."
NJ. Poincare warns the PREPARATION
commission that it must be in position
to find out whether Germany has Ia.
ken the measures necessary to carry
out the commissions decision. He
stresses the point that no decision can
be taken until the commission has
approved the drafts of laws and de
crees it has requested Germany to sub
nit for the execution of the plan, and
he reiterates that only after that de.
cision will the allies be in position
to arrive at their own decision.

bration is useless. During the cali
bration of this set the ticker must
be kept just barely beyond the point
where the set is osclllating, /. e., the
"boillng point" This is determined
by listening for sharp click as the
ticker is increased. To make sure
ii is oscillating touch the grid of the
detector. Two clicks should be heard,
one when the finger touches and one
when It leaves.
Set the inductance switch at the
lowest wavelength tap and the con-
denser at 0 or 10 degree setting. In
crease or decrease the "tickler" until
it just spills over" into oscillation.
Then turn CT Of the oscillator until
you hear whistle. When this
whistle is heard you are not exactly
on the same wavelength as the oscll-
lator, but very close. Now turn the
condenser CT back and forth until
you get a point where there Is no
whistle, but that on either side Of
which YOU do get whistle. You have
now adjusted the oscillator to eS-
actly the wave your tuner is set for.
(Remember, not the whistle, but the
point between two like whistles, Is the
resonance polnt.) Now bring the
wavemeter up to the oscillator and
turn II until you get the maximum de-
Election of the galvanometer. Keep
the wavemeter as far away as you can
and still get detection Of the gal
vanomcter. If doing this causes a
whistle in the receivers, reset the os-
cillator and wavemeter and take stimuli
taneous readings of waveleng1h,
switch and condenser settings.
Take readings through every ten or
twenty degrees of the condenser dial
for each inductance tap, always keep
ing the ticker just at the verge of
oscillation.

There are several methods Of cali
brating receiving sets, but some of
these are not accurate. In most meth
DDS there are pitfalls into which, If
the eXpermenter Is not very careful,
he will fall. Some of these pitfalls
will be pointed out and a method
given to avoid them.
The most accurate method is the
zero beat for oscillating receivers.
The application of this method to the
single circuit" and "Reinartz" types
of receivers will be taken up In detail.
The celebration of the nonregenerative
and neutrodyne types will be taken
up also.
Besides a wavemeter, which may be
purchased for from $15 up to 5000, a
Laboratory oscillator" is needed, and a
buzzer, preferably of high pitch. This
completes the equipment. The accu-
racy Of the results obtained will then
depend first on the accuracy of the
wavemeter used and secondly on the
accuracy of your own readings
The diagram of the connections
will be seen in Fig. l. Any vacuum
tube which happens to be at hand,
from the size of a UY199 up, may be
used. The size oC the b battery may
be anything from % volts up; 40 volts

LABOR'S OWN PHOTOPLAY

The people of Newark will be
interested in knowing that "The
Contrast" will be shown at the
Auditorium, June 2, 8, A. This is
a wonderful 6-reel film featuring
Dorothy Bernard with an all star
cast and is brought to Newark un-
der the auspices of the Newark
Trades and Labor Assembly. This
is labor film-financed by labor
and is dramatic portrayal of the
contrast of wealth and poverty,
idleness and industry, extrava-
gance and frugality, hate and love.
See the factory riots, the gar
ment workers, the black list in
operation, the mine disaster, the
Mingo Tent colonies, the strike and
the victory. The contrast of lux
ury and poverty.
This is truly a remarkable pic
ture and everybody should be sure
to see it. Buster Keaton's latest
comedy and weekly news picture
will also be shown in connection
with "The Contrast" and tickets
for this super show can now be OBJ
tanned from the members of the
local unions.

POLICE UP AND DOING

Our city police are right on the job
all the time, and law transgressors
are usually picked up very shortly af-
ter the offense is committed.
A couple of light fingered gentle
men have just been caught red hand
ed. Monday night a man was
discovered lying on the porch roof of
DR.. Stimson's home, corner of North
Second and East Church streets, prob
ably waiting for chance to start in
on a little job of housebreaking, and
Tuesday night "Brockey" Williams
nabbed another fellow stripping the
tires from an automobile owned by
Frank Hanna of the Auditorium gar
age, and parked in the alley near the
building. Both chaps were picked off
and landed in the cooler to await
further developments.
Local marauders had better keep
their eyes peeled and foreign talent
is advised to steer clear of Newark, as
the chance of getting across with any
crooked work is mighty slim in this
bailiwick, while guarded by our pres
ent efficient corps of police.

HIGHBROWS VS.. ROUGHNECKS

A retired official in commenting
upon the various views entertained by
persons arrested for alleged viola
tions of law, declared that the ex-
tremes were encountered when the
highbrow speed-fiend and the common
everyday bootlegger were caught in
the drag net.
The bootlegger is a sport, toes the
mark and pays up like gentleman,
according to his experience, but the
tony owner of high powered expen-
sive car, who has endangered the lives
of perhaps a hundred people, lets out
"holler" which can be heard for a
mile. Either his dignity has suffered
or he is the victim of spitework, and
been insulted because common or
binary cop has pulled him in for vio-
lating the law. But such is life.

Use Fair Grounds as
Recreation CenterS

Columbus, O.-The Ohio Depart
ment of Agriculture is backing a
statewide drive to use the county and
independent fair grounds over the
state as recreation centers. This
policy is now in vogue to a certain
extent but great room for expansion
still remains. Outside of a few pic
MICS and fraternal gatherings these
grounds lie idle the year round except
at fair time. Organization of COM
munity outings is recommended as a
means of enhancing rural life and af-
fording relaxation for the farmer
and his family.
