 China is 8 place of ever incress- Iny interest, be said. An Intellectual revolution has como about there and the need of employing the forces of nature has been seen. China is inhabited by one-fourth of the total nopulation Of the world, this prodl- gious increase in population often re- sulting in famine.
 TntTllcctually, nothing Is too scri- ous 10 be discussed by the yoEnF'r generation, was his statement. China is throwing down many of its old superstitions.
 Political Changes
 There is no one political aim ~hlch is dominant in China today, he sald Since from 90 to 95 per cont of the nopulation cannot read, It can n' readily seen how impossible it woulf he to introduce political rule such a' western civilization enjoys.
 "someone has said that the tron' hIa with China is that her nationa nerves are net developed" stated tbe speaker. He then showed where one branch of the national govern ment, at least, is doing good worN for the amount of business sun mitted. He said that the 1os'a service Is really efficient, but tha statistics show one letter for II people per year sent through tn mails. Asa contrast to this he sal that in the United Kingdom \ letters per year for every person ar mailed.
 Passing on to other fields, Rev Mir. Heininger said that there IS on newspaper for each 6So,ooo peopI in China, whereas, in the Cnite States the proportion is one papo for every 4,S0O persons. There ar 500 newspapers in China, one-hait c them being dailies.

China. the speaker said that there are 6,000 miles cf railroad there, or one mile for every 66,000 people. In marked contrast, he said, are condi- tions in the United States, where. for crory mile of railroad there are 50 people.
 Tn China there is continual struggle for bare sustcnance, with famincs occurring at surprising in tor,als, said the speaker. During the last 267 years there have been 1,o8S faminrs. These, of course, all more or less local. he declared. It has hecn estimated that, in the past 2,o0o years, there has been an aver age of one famine a year.
 Industrial Changes
 The speaker said that some mod orn industry is row being estah- ished in China and modern fac tories will be found in every large center, but the child labor problem, although exciting great deal Of in- lcftSL, IS I'dI plOpltIl'
 Children often live under condi- lions that arc appalling He quoted as an instance the conditions under which children work In the mines many Of them seeing the sun put Curn or twice a year.
 However. the child labor question Is coming moro and more to th" front, A reason for the conditions among children is the fact that they have to go to work so early in life he said. It is possible to secure q 1aborcr in China for about l2 cents q day. This money can support bnt ono person. so thc children have 10 get out and dig for themselves wherever they can.
 , The three problems, intellectual noli,jcal and industrial, are being forced on China at one time. stated rov. Nr. HcininGcr, md th'y cal for keen understanding and ar acute sympathy on the plrt o' Christian America. He spoke of the first great National Christian con ference in China, where there wer' as many Chinese present as there were foreigners.
 Problem Of Education. "Therc are 90.o00,00O children 0 school aeo in China and, for tha reason, the govrrnment "elcolnc any assistance in helping solve thu great problem of education,' sal' the speaker. China greatly appre ctated the return Of the Boxer none, which Iew brings great results il educational circles.
 In no country of the world ar the leaders in political matters a young as they are in China, said tn speaker. Following the talk he was aske several questions, one of them penn in regard to the practice of wear ing queues and that of binding th . feet of women, He answered thi , question by saying that one can 2 , into the province of Shansi and ia 10 find queue.

prevent oscillations generated by the
detector upon reaching the antenna.
The primary or antenna circuit of
this set is aperiodlc or untuned, making
it possible to calibrate the secondary
circuit and the tuned radio frequency
amplifier in terms of wave-length,
thereby enabling the receiver to be ac-
curately adjusted to the signals of any
broadcasting station from a celebration
table or curve sheet This arrangement
greatly simplifies tuning, making 1t pos
sible for the operator after having once
located a given broadcasting station, to
again return to it by adjusting the two
tuning dials at the numbers previously
logged. This makes it the ideal re-
ceiver
The set is very selectfye because 1t
employs tuned radio frequency, loose
coupled antenna and tuned second
airy. 1t is possible to receive the dis
tant stations despite local interference.
For example, In Cincinnati 1t is pos
sible to tune in KDKA which is only

operation.
The operation Of the Trirdyn is very
simple and will give excellent results
with any type of antenna. 1t oper-
ates satisfactorily with a small indoor
antenna, which provides loud-speaker
volume, even on long distance stations
and good results have been obtained
without using any antenna, using only
ground connection.
1t requires a detector and two ampli-
fer tubes of standard type and salts
factory results are obtained when dry
cells are employed for lighting the fila
ment, but the volume will be greater
with 6-volt tubes. The amplifier cir
cult employs 90 volts of "B" battery,
but will operate satisfactorily with %
volts. A CO. battery may be employed
if desired. The Trirdyn is enclosed
in beautiful solid mahogany cabinet
and cabinet to match may be used
for the dry cell batteries.

Things to Know About
Your Neutrodyne Set

A great many people who have pur-
chased neutrodyne receivers find that
they operate perfectly in one location
while in another location the receiver
has tendency TO oscillate on the
lower and higher wave lengths. This
condition Is not the fault of the re-
ceiver and 1t can usually be traced TO
carelessness.
One thing that will frequently cause
a perfectly balanced neutrodyne to
oscillate is allowing feed-back to take
place between the aerial circuit and
the last stage of radio frequency am
plification. This feed-back may be
caused by allowing the aerial wire to
come close to the last stage of radio
frequency amplification or the battery
wires, and, therefore, an attempt
should always be made TO have the
aerial wire leave the set as directly
as possible.
If improper tubes are used In the
radio frequency stages of a neutro-
dyne, oscillations are apt to result.
Most Of the commercial neutrodynes

such attack, not even weeds which are

sible to keep down the number of the

desirable from their standpoint, is

down the weeds, because the nemas
