Flowers Replace Cigars
AS Woman Governor
Rules in New Mexico

SANTA FE, N. M, June 21.-A
gorgeous bouquet of flowers. diffus-
ing their scent over the executive
chambers of New Mexico today, took
the place of the box of high pow
cred stogies which have become a
fixture in the governors office.
No smoke invaded the sanctum of
Mrs. Soledad Chacon as she entered
upon her duties, forst woman gov
ernor. Officials who gathered around
the quiet dark-eyed executive were
subdued by the simplicity with which
she took over the reins Of govern
ment temporarily dropped by Gov
ernor James Hinkle when he de-
parted for the Democratic conven-
ton in New York last night.
Mrs. Chacon's first official act was
a gesture Of recognition to the press.
Then, without ceremony, she made
statement of appreciation of Gov
ernor Hinkle and regret at the death
of the late lieutenant governor, Baca,
whose death thrust her into her pres
ent position.
Mrs. Chacon is full-blooded wom-
an, "a years of age. Slender and with
a beautiful head of brown hair. Her
ancestors were prominent in the ter
ritorial government of New Next
co. Her great grandfather took part
in the Valverde battle and her
genealogy through both sides of the
family leads directly back to the
Spanish conquistadores.
II am anticipating no serious
problems during Governor Hinkle's
absence" Mrs, Chacon said, "but
should any occur 1 don't believe l
shall have any difficulty in handling
them. 1 shall simply carry out the
policies of Governor Hinkle and
everything will run smoothly"

for Fight on Plat

NEW YORK, June pa smash
ing denuaciation of corruption,
graft and special privilege in gov
eminent and a pledge to "clean
house" will constitute the main
plank in the Democratic platform.
Taking advantage of the oil scan
dial, the Daugherty investigation and
the veterans bureau graft, Demo
cratic chieftains tonight were rapid
ly hammering out a platform that
will frame the issue on which they
expect to win in November.
Despite the confusion, the claims

ayers, there is an abiding conf
delce among the delegates that 1924
is a Democratic year." They are
out to win and there is a growing
feeling that the Democratic nominee
must be fitted to stand foresquare

Upon this plank there is complete
harmony among all factions of the
party. 1t is, however, the only

George e. Brennan, Democratic
boss &C '1inois, and Representative
Gallivan, of Massachusetts, declaring
relentless warfare on the khan have
become more insistent for a plank

The selection of Newton d. Baker

THE MISSING CHICKEN

II was time for Chick Chicken to fur
nish a meal for the family.
And so they went forth to catch
Chick Chicken That, they knew,
would not be hard to do. He was al
ways right out in the barnyard, ready
to be caught, 1t seemed.
He was never afraid Of any one and
he wouldn't run away. Probably he
would be waiting right near the barn
doorstep.
But when they went out into the barn
yard Chick Chicken was nowhere to be
seen
They hunted for him everywhere
But Chick Chicken could not be found.
Something must have happened to
him. He must have been run over or
had some accident.
So, after they decided this, they took
another chicken for the meal.
After the meal was over and the
family were out Of doors, walking
about, to their surprise they saw Chick
Chicken.
He was wandering about as though
nothing at all had happened.
They watched to see If he limped or
If he had been hurt in some way.

coils. A No. 8 brass rod was threaded
on both ends, one end passing through
the panel with a knob on it. A half
inch square brass post was mounted
near the coils to act as supporting
bearings. Set screws were placed
through the tops of these posts so that
slight pressure from them would be
sufficient to hold the coils in any posi-
ton. AS these coils are not varied
much there will be little wear on the
shaft.
Flexible leads are used to connect
the movable coils and a set of flexible
leads are provided so that the "B" bat
terry may be mounted directly inside
the cabinet.
The cabinet must be made large
enough to allow sufficient space for the
coils to swing.

This is an excellent receiver for the

degree of coupling may be had by
varying the distance between the pri-

interference is experienced, the pri-
mary is turned away from the second
airy bit and the condensers retuned
to the wave length to make up for the
change in adjustment, and in all proba-
bility the interference will have disap-
peared.
This set was used with a WD-11 tube
with 221s volts on the plate and an
antenna 70 feet long. Being only ten
miles from New York and only three
miles from Newark, no difficulty was
experienced in picking out a certain

not be touched if it has at least 60
turns. Secondary should have 60
turns. If less than 60, it should be
loaded accordingly. Be sure the load
ing coil is placed within the variable
condenser connections, so that the load
coil really has the effect of increasing
the size of the rotor.
7. Reinartz circuit.-Insert in grid
coil a 35-turn H. G. or similar coil for
loading. In one design an extra tap
was provided for this purpose and the
coil goes between the last used tap

best loaded by a 50-turn coil, tapped

s. Lighthouse set-Insert a 5O-turn
coil in series with the antenna.
1t should be understood that it is
impossible to state exactly how much
loading is required in the antenna cir
cult Of any set, since so much depends
upon the size of the aerial itself.
Where series condenser is used, the
loading coil should be of such proper
lions that WEAF on 492 meters Is
brought in at nearly full scale, giving
sufficient leeway to reach WIP and
WOO on 500 meters. Load coils may
be honeycomb coils, or may be wound
on a 31s-inch tube of approximately
the same number Of turns. For those
in doubt, the best solution is ~ con-
struct loading coil of about so turns

Some Good Cures for
Wave Length Troubles

Once a receiving set has been prop
erly loaded, there will be little diff1-
culty in receiving all of the stations on
their new wave lengths, although al
present some are experiencing diffl-
culty in getting those stations working
on waves higher than 400 meters. The
following tabulation is presented as
guide, and the schemes suggested are
suitable for sets using the average size
of single-wire aerial, varying between
rs and 125 feet in length, including the
lead-in. The recommended methods
follow:
1. Standard regenerative.-If the
primary has at least 60 turns, no load
ing is needed. Shunt the secondary cir
cult, including both grid variometer and
the secondary of the coupler, by .O005

turn H. G. coil or similar load coil in
series with the plate variometer.
. Single-circuit regenerative with
yarioIueter and COOS variable con-
denser.-Loading is seldom required.
If WIZ on 455 is found with condenser
at full scale, a 35-turn coil In series
with antenna is sufficient Ticker need
not be loaded.

a great many failures in the attempts.
Having not had the experience with
the standard circuits they fail to rec

which show plainly in the more recent
developments.
The purpose of this article is to help

and which makes Use of standard

also been taken into consideration.
The approximate list of material
needed for the set is as follows:
l 6x15-inch panel
l 9-inch deep cabinet.
2 23-plate var cond.
Il pound No. "a sec wire.
16 inch No. round brass rod.

Tube, "A' and 'B" battery.
AS will be seen by the diagram, Fig
ure /, the circuit is the standard three
coil honeycomb, but uses spiderweb coils
instead. The forms for winding these
coils are cut from stiff cardboard 4
inches in diameter, into which are cut
nine slots equally spaced and rs
inches deep. This leaves enough
space in the center to place the mount

Into these slots is wound, zig-zag-

Primary Go turns, secondary 40 turns
and ticker 80 turns. No taps are
taken, as tuning is done by variable
condensers.
The secondary coil is mounted sta
tionary, in an upright position on
block of wood and the primary and
ticker coils on either side mounted on
a special adjustable mounting so that
the coupling may be varied. An idea
of how this was done will be gained
