Construct Your Set
for Permanent Use

1t Is only necessary to glance at
many homemade radio receiving sets
to find out they have been literally
thrown" together. Carelessness is q
fault, and explains why so many sets
will not function efficiently.
For instance, wiring Is allowed to
loop and stray around In every direc-
ton, connections are left unsoldered,
wires are merely twisted around one
another, poor connections are made to
the binding posts, and coils and other
apparatus is loosely mounted. The
reason for all Of this is ut is only
temporary" AS matter Of fact, all
this poor work interferes seriously
with efficient operation and tuning of
the set.
1t is evident that many leads and
bad connections on low-tension cir
cults lead to waste of current and
are still more disastrous on high-ten-
sion circuits. Close by means Of
solder. Small soldering Jugs provide a
ready and neat means Of doing this.

HEARINGS ON d. c. BILL.
Subcommittee to Take Up Appro-
priation Monday.

Hearings on the District appropri-
alton bill for the expenses of the
municipal government for the fiscal
year. beginning July 1 next are to
rtart Monday next at 1890 am, with
the District Comm ssioners invited
to make their general statement.
1t was decided in conference be-
tween Chairman Madden of the ap-
propriations committee and Repre-
sentative Charles r. Davis, chairman
of the subcommittee on District ap-
preparations, that the hearings this
year will be closed in record time.
The committee is satisfied that the
estimates were very carefully studied
by the budget bureau and that a close
investigation was made, which obviates
the necessity of lengthy hearings now.
The hearings on the District bill
committee clerks who are most
familiar with the District items have
been busy on other maor appropriation
measures. so Chairman Davis delayed
The District hearings until he could get
the services of an experienced clerk
and thus expedite the work of the
subcommittee.
The subcommittee which will con-
duct the hearings on the District bill
is composed of Representatives Davis
Minnesota; George H. Tinkham,
Massach dsetts; Frank H. Funk,
Illinois; John j. Eagan, New Jersey.
and William A. Ayres, Kansas.

EXPECT FAVORABLE REPORT
Phipps Bill Returns Surplus Rev
enues to District.

The Phipps bill authorizing the
use by the District of surplus
revenues of the District now in the
Treasury. will be reported favorably
to the Senate from the District COM
mittee, it was understood today.
Senator Ball, chairman of the Dis
trict committee, is to poll the COM
mittee on the bill today. The Senate
District committee failed to get a
quorum at it's meeting this morning,
but those present authorised Senator
Ball to poll the committee on the
Phipps bill and several other meas
ures.
The Phipps bill. it is expected, will
be amended before 1t Is reported so
as to conform with the recommends
tions contained in the report on that
measure received today from the
District Commissioners. The bill as
introduced flxes the surplus revenues
to which the District is entitled at
s4,43S.154. According to the report of
the Commissioners this amount should
be s5,s63.75S.
Another bill which will be report
ed favorably after polling the COM
mittee, amends the law regarding
assessment of real and personal prop
.erty in the District and the granting
of licenses. This measure defines
who shall be considered resid ent
of the District for the purposes of
taxation. provides for making ga-
