Geo. II. Maxwell AT
City Hall Saturday

George H. Maxwell, formerly water
commissioner of the state, and Sena-
tor Kimball of Graham county, ex-
ponents of the Arizona highline canal,
and boosters of measure 306, provid-
ing an appropriation for the survey
of the Colorado river development pro-
ject, were in Winslow Saturday and
addressed a meeting at the city hall
in the evening.
Besides speaking on behalf of the
initiative measure, both Mr.. Maxwell
and Mr. Kimball praised the attitude
of Governor Hunt on river and other
problems, and spoke in favor of his
reelection
Only a small crowd was present to
hear these two able speakers present
their side of question that will soon
be one of the paramount questions in
this state, if not the nation. They
spoke in Snowflake and st. Joe earlier
in the day.

the Mitchell blacksmith shop. A more
central location will be either built
or leased as soon as possible.
A carload of Chevrolet cars has
been unloaded here, and most of these

Council Establishes
White Wings Dept.

At a special meeting of the city
council Monday evening to discuss
garbage disposal problems, it was de-
cided that trash collected under the
new garbage ordinance shall be dump
ed by Collector Mccoy on plot of
ground leased from Sam Hayes about
a mile east of town just off the Clear
Creek road. The official dump ground
will be located behind hill short
distance from and out of view of trav-
elers ON the road.
Ed Harris was made the white
wings department of the city His
duties will be to keep the paved por-
tions of the streets clean of all kinds
of trash. Garbage cans for the col
lection of street refuse will be located
throughout the paved districts, and
the collectors will daily empty them.
The council and sanitary officers ask
that when shopkeepers sweep the
sidewalks in front of their places of
business they dump the sweepings in
the cans and so aid in the new work
of keeping the city clean.

PEOPLES BANK NORED|V|DENDS
Z TRUST Co TO|ARE PROMISED
ENTER FIELD AT EARLY DATE

Assurance is given to the depositors
in the defunct Bank of Winslow, that
a payment of at least twenty-five
cents on the dollar will be made by
the persons in charge of the local
situation, by and with the co-opera-
tion on State Superintendent of Banks
A. T. Hammons. Sufficient funds are
already on hand to make this first
dividend, and additional collections
are in sight practically to promise ad-
ditional re-payments in the near fu-
ture. The first payment will be, made
as soon as the new Peoples Bank and
Trust company, acting as trustees of
affairs, under the state bank depart
ment, can open for business. Those
in close touch with the situation pre-
dict that depositorS may be entirely
reimbursed, and that in the end suf-
ficient collections may be made to
protect the stockholders of the Bank
of Winslow.
The plan of operation of the Peo-
pies Bank and Trust company calls
for the sale of stock to local people
to the extent of $4,000. Of this
amount more than $4,000 had been
subscribed by about 20 people as we
close the forms for this issue of The
Mail. That the total subscription will
be made before the end of the week is
almost certain
The bank will be opened immediate
ly upon the completion of the stock
subscription, and will be operated in
dependent of the old institution, but
will act as liquidating agent for the
Bank of Minslow, however, assuming
no obligations of the old bank The
Bank of Winslow will remain in the
hands of Mr.. Hammons, and with the
assistance of the Peoples Bank and
Trust company will be liquidated as
rapidly as possible, paying to the de-
positors of the defunct bank the
money raised from liquidation
Mr. Hammons is authority for the
statement that sufficient funds are
available now for payment of 25
per cent as soon as the claims of the
depositors can be compiled, and that
additional funds are in sight for still
further payments at an early date
Mr.. Hammons is very optimistic as to
the outcome of the liquidation, and
feels that with the assistance of the
going concern like the Peoples Bank
and Trust company that full and COM
plete payment of -depositors' liability
can be made within a reasonable time.

Drilling For Water At
Santa Fe Round House

The Santa Fe Land and Improve
ment company, in an endeayor to de-
velop greater water supply for the
city of Winslow, on Wednesday of this
week had spudded in on the ground
within the enclosure at the round
house, a we'll under contract of the
Linscott Drilling company of San
Francisco.
For some time the supply of water
available from the Clear Greek pump
ing station has proved inadequate TO
the needs of the town and railroad
There is always sufficient water in
Clear Greek, but the 13-inch mains
are too small to barry the amount
needed from the pumps to town. A
source of water nearer at hand is
sought.
1t is planned to sink the well to
from 1,5O0 to 1000 feet, in the hope
that water in quantity may be found.
The rigging was placed on the ground
on the 18th of this month and the
hole was started down this week.

Holbrook Boy Shot
By Bapdits Monday

Tony Ortega, youngest son of Thorn
as Ortega of Holbrook, was shot during
an attempted holdup at the county
seat Monday afternoon 1t is report
ed that while on a delivery wagon
young Ortega was accosted by two
tourists who had approached in a
Ford Coupe. When told to deliver up
his money the boy reached into his
hip pocket for his purse. The bandits
evidently thought he was reaching for
gun, and fired at Ortega, inflicting
flesh wound in his right thigh. They
then fed, Ortega emptying his gun at
them. They made their escape, and
the officers are now searching the
northern Arizona towns in hopes of
locating them before they can make
complete getaway.

College Student Writer
SAYS Classes Lack Vim

Charging that some students who at
tend classes are $50 dead, dull, dreary
and weary that they are almost de-
funct," a student editorial writer in
the Minneapolis Daily, student publica-
ton at the university, declares that
the professor who wears long face
needn't be blamed for his demeanor.
Professors should be honored as
martyrs for even attempting to lee
ture to some classes" the editorial
says. "The students are as inspiring
as a peanut, as eager as piece of
clay. What professor can be blamed
for lengthening his countenance be-
fore lecturing to group of mourners?
The wonder is, from one point of view,
that more of them do not wear gray
gloves and black neckties"
The undergraduate goes on to adj
wise students to smile at the instruct
or's jokes, even if they are ancient,
and grin little broader at ''profes-
sional irony" This procedure, he pre-
diets, would cause the instructor to
burst into bloom of life. His per-
sonality would be stimulated"

SHORT CIRCUITS

A burned-out vacuum tube makes an
excellent grid condenser. All you need
do is remove your present grid con-
denser and connect the grid terminal
on the base of the tube to one end of
the wire that was formerly connected
to the condenser. Then connect wire
to the grid of the detector and lead 1t
to the plate terminal on the blown-out
tube. Connect the grid leak from the
grid to the filament minus or plus
(trial is the test), and you'll be sur
prised at the difference in reception.
If your "B" batteries are run down
and you are not in the position to pur-
chase new ones for few days. then
place them in warm oven for a few
hours. You will find that they will
greatly increase In voltage. Say that
a 'B" battery registered 80 volts, then
nfter baking 1T will go to about 40
volts or perhaps more. This scheme is
not recommended unless in an emer-
gency, as it is rather dirty job and
is usually not worth the trouble.

ing posts are all placed along the
right hand edge of the panel so as to
make the addition of an amplifier easy.
From bottom to top the posts read:
"a" minus, "a" plus, "B" minus, "B"
plus, and the top two the phones.
In operation, this set exhibits ex-
actly the same characteristics as any
variometer regenerative tuner, In
turning up the variometer, soft hush
should be heard for about five degrees
of dial movement, and then sharp
click when the tube falls into oscilla-
ton. The set is in the most sensitive
condition just before this click Is
heard, and it will be found that the
vernier dial is of great value in work
ing up to this point.
Tuning Is Very Sharp.
The tuning of the secondary vari-
able condenser is very sharp, and no
trouble is experienced in separating
the powerful local broadcasters. In
hunting around for station. the sin
gle-plate vernier condenser plate
should be left half in Then, after
making as careful an adjustment as
possible with the main knob, the small
vernier knob can be slowly turned
either way.
To listen to the stations on the low
er wave lengths, the secondary switch
is turned down so that the fewest
number of turns are in the circuit. The
wave length range will increase as the
switch is turned up. The setting of
the primary switch will not be found
TO be critical In most installations
the switch arm can be left In one po-
sition for all stations.
1t is very important that the rotary
plates of the variable condenser be

hand capacity effects when turning the
knob. If WD12 tube is used, the "a"

AS mentioned, the use of the poten-
tiometer in series with the aerial wire
prevents the set from radiating, or, at
any event, it at least acts as enough
of choke to make any oscillations
that do get by too weak to cause any
harm. In addition, 1t aids quite no

AS can be seen from the illustra-
lions, the outfit is an unusually simple
one. The circuit was designed by
Messrs. Haviland Halsted and Donald
B. Stevens of New Rochelle and its
efficiency can be judged from the fact
that station 2LO in London was heard
on one WD12 tube during the recent
transatlantic tests.
The parts required are few in num-
Der. A 23-plate vernier variable con-
denser is used for the tuning, and an
ordinary variOmeter supplies the re-
generation. The shaft of the latter in
strument is equipped with a geaIed
the adjustment. A standard tube
socket and a six-Ohm rheOstat (for the
WD12) are mounted on the right-hand
end of the panel, which is of high-qual-
ity composition, IS inches long and
wide. The variable condenser is
mounted inside the special tuning coil,
thus saving much space and making
the connecting wires very short.
The inductance coil is the feature of
this receiver but there is nothing par
ticularly difficult about its winding.
The diagram gives all the constants.
A standard 4-inch cardboard or bake
lite tube 8 inches long is wound with
Sc turns of No. "a double cotton COW
cred wire. The end nearest the panel
is the lower end in the diagram. The
lower switch shown in the latter is the
upper switch on the panel.
Beginning at the end of the coil
nearest the panel, tap is taken after
two turns, another tap after another
two turns, and then two more taps,
one turn apart. These four taps and
the end of the coil go to the aerial
switch points. Skipping one turn from
the last tap, connection is made to the
ground, the plus of the "a" battery,
and to the rotary plates of the variable
tuning condenser. This winding is the
primary" and is untuned, as in all
Reinartz hookups.
Winding Is Continued.
The winding is now continued with
out interruption for thirty-five turns,
and a tap taken at the thirty-fifth
wire. Fourteen more turns complete
the coil, and two more taps made. one
at the forty-second, the other from the
end of the wire. This winding is the
secondary" which is tuned in the
usual manner by the variable con-
denser. The switch and its three con-
tact points are beneath the primary
switch on the panel, between the vari-
able condenser and the variometer.

Good Insulation
Improves Results
Unglazed Porcelain Should
Not Be Used-Absorbs
Much Moisture.

One Of the most important things to
remember when installing the receiv-
Ing or transmitting antenna is that 1t
should be insulated as nearly perfect
as possible. After looking over the
various aerials which have been put
up during the last two years the writer,
says an expert on radio, has come to
The conclusion that radio fans never
give insulation thought. 1t is true
that with the receiving aerial high
voltages are not employed. but 1t must
De remembered that we are dealing
with high frequency currents, which
have great affinity for escaping off to
the ground before they actually reach
the receiving set. 1t is therefore log
lcal that as much of this current as
possible be protected, so that its full
force will pass down the antenna lead
In and reach the set without loss.
The usual form Of aerial insulator
used Is the small unglazed porcelain
cleat. While porcelain is considered
as one Of the best insulators to high
voltage and radio currents, the I'M
glazed cleat is poor insulator and
Its use should be discouraged. This
type Of insulator absorbs moisture
due to its unglazed surface and gets
dirty with SCOT. forming a good short
circuit path to the ground. The proper
form of porcelain insulator is one that
Is about three or four inches long and
which is glazed. The surface need not
be in ripple form as long as the in
sulator is glazed over its entire sur
face. In the better stations the eight
or ten-inch type of glazed porcelain
insulator is used, one at each end. Ii
the shorter type is employed two OF
them should be connected in series.
Ample Insulation.
This will afford ample Insulation for
the aerial of the one-wire type. Ii
the aerial is one-wire affair, the first
drawing shows where the insulators
should be placed. The lead-in in this
case is taken off one end. The aerial
wire may be made continuous so as
to include the lead-in. A sOldered joint
will be satisfactory, but a wrapped
joint should not be used for any length
of time.
In B Is shown the two-wire aerial
with spreader at each end. In this
case the insulators are not put in

Not the prime Of life. The age Of

Unwise eating. Sleeplessness. The
loading of the body with drug stimu-

energy, but actually BORROW this
energy from the body's own reserve.
Every school child is taught to
avoid stimulan.s. Most mothers en-
force the no-cofee rule for children.
Then comes maturity-and the squan-

the body has stored up. Figures show
that the average American is able to

with half his life yet before him, he
hits the down grade.

Troubles With Tubes
May Be Easily Fixed

Certain types of gassy vacuum tubes
used as detectors will give rise to
noises which sound very much like
static unless the filament battery volt
age is adjusted up to the proper value.
1t is desirable with all tubes to ex-
anime the contact 'pins in their base
occasionally to make sure that these
have not corroded In cases where
these tips have been tipped with
solder, corrosion or oxidation may
take place. The pins may. be cleaned
with very fine sandpaper.
