percent on incomes ranging from 81 900 upward, will
just as generally benefit the rank and fle' of tax
payers. The beneficiaries of these two changes alone
will include all save a handful of the c%ountry's four
teen million taxpayers, and especially will those Of
small income be favored.
Secretary Mellon believes that a reasonable reduction
OF the surtax rates will release, for use in channels
of trade, millions Of capital now invested unproduc-
lively. By the increase of incomes consequent to this
more active use of capital there will undoubtedly re-
suit further tax savings in future years. The Secre-
tary points to the constantly diminishing return from
surtaxes collected under the present oppressive rates,
and gives the strongest assurance that the proposed
reduction will mean n great increase in the amounts
realized therefrom. Thus, to lower the rates will
mean actually to increase the amounts paid in to the
Government from this source.
Mr.. MELONS proposals, then, are that the burden of
taxation be lifted just as much as possible from the
shoulders OF the man of small income. and that the
savings occasioned by tho Governments economical
management under the present budget be passed on
to those who need them most-that is, the taxpayers
whose incomes are lee than $4,000 per year.

The first recommendation, if carried into effect, will

and women whose incomes are created by labor,
rather than through investment. The second sugges-
ton, to cut the income tax rates from Four to Three
percent on smaller incomes, and from Eight to Six

out Of the panel is given. In that
case all that is necessary is to paste
the layout on the panel with library
paste or any other paste which can
be removed easily after it has served
it's purpose and drill holes at the
markings
This method, however, can be used
only when the parts used in the
actual construction Of the set are ex-
actly the same as the ones used by
the designer of the set. The mount
ing holes of all radio apparatus are
not yet standardized in size of the
parts, and the different locations of
the mounting holes must be taken
into consideration.
If the parts used, however. are about
the same in size as those used by the
designer, the same center holes or
shaft holes can be used and new loca-
tions for the other mounting holes
can be located and drilled.
Dimensions OFTEN Given
In many cases sdimensioned panel
layout is given, showing the distances
from one hole to the other, or. as is
done in some cases, showing the dis
tance of the holes from two edges.
A panel layout in which distances
of holes are given from hole to hole
is SHOWN IN F1gure l, Wnlle panel
layout in which the distances are
given from both edges is shown in
Figure 2.
The disadvantage Of measuring dis
tances from hole to hole lies in the
tendency to increase any errors at
each measurement, SO that all the
small errors add up. making a large
discrepancy in the last measureme ents.
If, for instance, a man has a tendency
to measure full-that is, to take a
measurement slightly larger than re-
quired-the last measurement may be
as much as one-eighth to ne-quarter
of an inch out of the way in a fairly
long panel.
In the second case, however, since
every measurement is taken from
one starting point-namely, the edge
of the panel-the distances from hole
to hole are bound to be very exact;
at least they will not be off by
greater error than is made on a SIN
gle measurement.
In the first case the errors are ad-
ditive, while in the second case they
are not.
If therefore you get a panel layout

VARIED PROGRAM
PLANNED BY WRC
Pianist, Singers, Hawaiian
Music and Bible Talk
Will Be Heard.

A recital by George Dickson
Thompson, pianist, and a concert of
Hawaiian music by the Honolulans,
under the direction of Ernest Deale,
are the featured attractions on the
program tonight of WRC.
Mr.. Thompson is ranked as one of
Washington's most prominent musi-
clans, and his recital is expected to
be among the best heard from WRC
recently. He is product of the
late Samuel NJ. Fabian, widely known
piano instructor of his day, and has
also studied extensively outside
Washington. His recital at the New
Willard ballroom last season was a
feature Of the musical year. Other
recent activities of Mr.. Thompson in
clude a tour of the largest cities of
Pennsylvania. During the past week
Mr.. Thompson has appeared in con-
junction with Charles Trowbridge
Tittmann at Keith'S Theater.
Preceding Mr.. Thompson, listeners
in will hear Xylophone solos by Sam
Rosey, starting at s pm. Mr.. Rosey
conducted the City Club Orchestra
last season. an organization pre-
viously heard from WRC, and has
also radiocast once or twice himself.
Two song recitals of fine merit are
those to be offered by Ruby Potter,
soprano, and Helen p. Gallagher,
contralto. Mrs. Potter has been aftil-
lated with many of Washington's mu-
sical societies for the past few sea-
sons and has done considerable solo
work in churches here. She will be
accompanied this evening by Louis
A Potter, and will appear at $40.
Miss Gallagher is a prominent radio
artist, possessing a voice that justi-
fies her radio ambition. She will be
heard at S:35.
Thee Bible talk which is presented
weekly under the auspices of the
Mems Organized Bible Glass Associa-
tion will be conducted by James A.
Bell, educational director of the Y.
M C. A. A concert at 9:35 by the
Honolulans, a Hawaiian troupe under
the direction of Ernest Deale, will
serve to wind up the program. 1t
would seem that summer weather
and Hawaiian music form a combina-
tion of well balanced proportions.
The amount of mail that this attrac-
tion brings in is in itself sufficient
proof of its popularity.

RADIO RECORDS FIGHT
OF ARMIES IN DETAIL
Big Sham Battle of Guardsmen
Furnishes Real Thrills as First
Broadcast Is Staged.
By the Associated Press.

LOUISVILLE, KY, August 23.-
While an entire division of national
guardmen were in actau1 combat
against an imaginary Red army at
Camp Henry Knox last night a
powerful radiocasting station trans
mitted the thunder of half an hours
heavy bombardment with realistic
effect.
With a war correspondent in the
field detailing the movement of sew
eral thousand troops, and guns BOOM
ing on all sides of the microphone
the feat marked a new conquest in
the sphere OF radio. 1t presaged the
time when ether waves may tell the
tale of a real war. Army officials
believe. The United States Signal
Corps supervised the radiocasting
from station WHAS of the Courier
Journal and the Louisville Times.
Wires Aid Wireless.
Wire running across the field or
action and connecting with small
disc where the correspondent sat dic-
tating his account of the mimic war
fare was used to bring the sound
picture to the radiophone station. For
half an hour during heaviest firing
of the night the radio carried can
mons roar, rifle cracking and the
ripping hail of machine guns In
action.
All night long the spectacle con-
tinued, although the radio became
silent after 1880 o'clock. Infantry
brigades formed the front line of &C
ton, backed by three Field Artillery
units, battalions including more In
fantry, Tank Corps, ambulances, with
stretcher bearers and hospital at
tendants The invisible enemy is ex-
pected to retire across the boundary
line of the Ohio River about noon
today.
Army Omcers Attend.
Army officers from Washington,
Chicago, Columbus, Ohio, and else
where and interested radio men from
other cities were present as obserV-
ers as the Battle of Camp Knox
was fought between thousands of Ma
tional Guardsmen.
The sound of firing punctuated
running verbal report of the progress
of the engagement made by Col.
Mack Z. Hammer, who had been as
signed especially to act as war cor
respondent"
Three governors were invited to
witness the feat, and two of them,
Cows. Branch of Indiana and Morgan
of West Virginia, arrived at the camp
Thursday. Gov Fields Of Kentucky
was unable to attend. Adjutant gen.

dinary rule or with the rule-marke ed
edge of the square.
The two cross-lines will give a sat
isfactory mark for locating the posi-
tion of the hole.
Punching the Hole.
The hole should then be center
punched with centerpunch by set
ting the point of the centerpunch al
the point of intersection of the lines
and striking the punch smartly with
hammer.
Do not make the mistake of drill
ing the holes without centerpunching
them as you will find that in the
majority of cases the drill will shift
and drill a hole that is not where
you intended it to be.
If you drill the holes as you locate
them you will not have to worry
about drilling any holes with the
wrong-sized drill. If, however, you
locate all the holes before starting
to drill them you will find it ad-
visable to drill the small holes first.
If you do make a mistake and drill
a wrong hole it will be simple mat
ter to redrill the hole with a larger
drill, but if you do not follow this
bit of advice and drill the wrong hole
with large sized drill you will find
that you will have a spoiled panel
on your hands.

J0KERS PUT TO SHAME
ON ANTENNA GREASING
Comedy May Become Actually,
Due to New Wave-Length
Regulations.
Special Dispatch to The star.

Special Dispatch to The star.
HARTFORD, Conn, August 23.-The
old "seagoing" joke about the green
radio operator who was ordered aloft to
grease the antenna and mast so that
the signals would slide off the easier is
proving no idle jest to many transmit
ting amateurs who are confronted with
the business of reducing their wave
length in order to take advantage of
the new short waves allowed by the
Government
This comes following the interesting
discovery that the black oxide coating
which appears on copper wire soon af-
ter an antenna has been erected has an
alarmlngly bad effect on short waves and
reduces the antenna power to a great
extent. Howard f. Mason, department
editor of "QST,'' points out very frank
ly that there are only two solutions to
the problem, either the amateur must
use enameled wire or build his antenna
ana mast so that 1t can be taken down
frequently and the wires polished.
All that remains now is for some one
to discover practical use for 2. left
handed monkeywrench and the Jokers
on both sea and land will be put to
shame for all time.
Among other features Of the antenna
installation that have turned up in con-
nection with short-wave work is the
bad effect of imperfect dielectrics in
the field Of the antenna and also poor
insulators. Mr. Mason declares that all
ground leads, counterpoise leads and
antenna leads should be 'rgidly sup
ported at least one or two feet from all
solid materials
The majority of amateurs are much
pleased with the new assignment or
wave lengths, and literally thousands

Mexico Afflicted With "Static. "

The increase in the use of radio
has been disappointing in Mexico.
Owners of radio sets hold that parts
of Mexico are peculiarly afflicted with
static" and also that there is much
annoyance from wireless telegraph
stations in Mexico and ships on the
Gulf of Mexico using the same wave
lengths as the broadcast sting stations.
These factors as well as the general
depression seem to have curtailed an
anticipated rapid increase in the de-
mand for radio equipment, Consul
