orders, so the sawyer communicates with the
block setter and the carriage riders by means
of code of hand signals and the log is shifted
and turned as he directs. Sawyers in all parts
of the country use the same code.
".The Man Behind the Gun"
Of course, after the sawyer has finished his
job lumber must pass through several other
processes before it is in finished form and ready
for use. But the sawyer is ''the man behind the
gum in the mill On his skill depends the
grade of lumber secured from particular logs
and the rapidity with which he works governs
the rate of the mills output.
The three main operations involved in con-
verting log into lumber are saving, edging
and trimming. In the process of saving, the
log is broken down into units which can be
handled by auxiliary machines Edging con-
sists of square-edging the product and ripping
it into narrower widths to raise the grade.
Trimming is cutting the edges of the boards
square, cutting long boards into two or more
pieces of standard length and cutting into. diff
ferent lengths to remove defects. The success
or failure of any given plant may depend on
the ability of the men in charge OF these opera
tons.
A modern sawmill presents bewildering
array of ingenious machinery, all working to
the end that lumber may remain the most
available and economical building material!

Wire Data for Coil Winding.

Where space is precious radio writ
ers must necessarily limit themselves
to giving only the very essential in
formation necessary for the con-
structor to build his set. 1t is i'm
possible in every case to give exact
length of wire, weight, length of
winding. etc, in describing the con-
struction of set, as that would ne
cessitate the repetition time after
time of information which had been
given in previous articles.
In this article, therefore, L am go
ing to give you some data on wire of
various kinds and it's use in winding
coils. If you save this article for ref
erence it will save you time in de-
signing coil windings, and computing
amounts and sizes of wire required.
Copper Wire Classified.
Copper wire used in coil winding is
classified according to diameter, size
and type Of insulation.
Tho ordinary sizes run from the
No. 3s. The sizes ordinarily used for
winding coils are Nos. 20, % and "a.
Smaller sizes are not efficient, larger
sizes are too clumsy to use and also
have the effect of introducing unde-
sirable distributed capacity effects.
These sizes are according to the B.
& S. Drown & Sharpe) gauge, COM
monty used in the United States.
The most common forms of insula-
ton are enamel, s. c. c. (single cot
ton covered), D. c. c. double cotton
covered), s. S. c. (single silk covered)
and D. s. c. double silk covered).
The types most commonly used are
S. c. G. and d. S. G. wire.
The next important thing to know
about coil winding is the length Of
winding for a certain number of
turns. The length of the winding for
given number Of turns will vary, de-
pending on the size and insulating
material of the wire used in winding
the coil. A good deal also depends on
the care used in winding the coil.
Where d. C. c. WIRE is used, ap-
proximately 2s turns Of No. Is, 20
turns Of No. 20, 36 turns of No. % and
A turns Of No. "a wire can be wound
per inch of length of the coil.
Where D. 8. c. wire is used. ap-
proximately % turns of No. 1s, 27

Through his colorful descriptions of

in many important broadcasts involv-

most recent assignments, however,
have sent his voice over so wide an
area-no less than eighteen stations.
a record number, having been linked
together for the Democratic CONVEX

friends.
McNamee's abilities, however, are
not limited to handling political

Of the demands Of WEAF~S micro

1t has developed stands him in good
stead when speaking to his millions
OF listeners, who comprise the largest
number which have ever heard the
voice of any one man.
His earnest study of music also
accounts for his lucid descriptions of
classical music. such as his extensive

Only a serious student could speak SO

He is an active follower of sports. 1t

FIFTEEN MINUTES OF RADIO EACH DAY
By JOSEPH CALCATERRA,
Radio Editor of Popular Science Monthly
ssrved ucdon Prohbi

Al turns of No. "a can be wound per
inch of length of the coil.
To find the length of a coil for a
given number Of turns, all that is
necessary is to divide the number of
turns by the number of turns per inch
of the wire to be used
The result will be the actual length
of the winding. The length Of tube
required will, of course, have to be
both ends for anchoring the windines
and providing space for any neces-
sary supports for mounting the coli.
If you are merely going to wind
one or two coils. the quarter-pound
spools will serve your purpose, but If
you are going to do any considerable
amount of experimenting you will find
1T cheaper and more convenient to buy
larger spools.

to London to load cable for a second
section, which will connect ketchikan
and Seward. Another new line is to
link Juneau, Wrangell and Peters,
burg with this city. Ketchikan wiz
then be a relay Office for four lines,
two going into southeastern Alaska,
one to Seward and one to Seattle. All
these cables will be used CONNER

Microphones now face politicians

ing to obey its rules. One Of the most
exciting periods of the Republican
convention in Cleveland was during
the speech Of Representative Cooper
of Wisconsin, who offered a minority
report to substitute for the majority
report of the resolutions committee.
The radical changes in the platform
which he proposed aroused consider
able interest on the part of the dele
gates.
After speaking five or ten minutes
the radio audience heard great
many Kisses and boos and shouts,
which seemed to be in derision Of the
speaker. But the delegates. though
unsympathetic, were quite anxious to
hear Mr.. Cooper, who offered the first
real thrill OF the convention. What
they were Kissing was the sergeant
alarms, who was stepping forward to
the end of the platform, as If to lead
the speaker away, because the time
allotted to him had expired. But all
that the sergeant-at-arms vas trying
to do was to push Mr.. Cooper a little
nearer the microphone, so that the
radio audience could have the full
benefit of tho political drama he was
enacting.

IRISH FARMERS SUFFER.
Inquiry Reveals Wide Depression
in Agriculture.

DUBLIN. July 4.-The commission
of inquiry into Irish agriculture, in
its final report, finds a serious de-
preston in farming. The farmer, the
report declares, receives for his prod
uce 40 per cent higher than before
the war, but his cost of living has
risen by so per cent and his trade
expenses in some cases by over 100
per cent.
Education and organization are the
two chief remedies suggested by the
commission. and the state is urged
to devote considerable sums to these
purposes. The commission is opposed
to subsidies or bounties, which in
an agricultural country would, they
say, simply mean transferring the
money from one pocket Of the farmer
to the other. Reduction of railway
freights and development of water
transport are recommended.
