LEGION WAS LUCKY
IN 1924 CONGRESS

In outlining the achievements of the
national legislative committee of the
American Legion during the first ses-
sion of the Sixty-eighth congress, John
Thomas Taylor, vice chairman Of the
committee, stated that eight measures
of major Importance were enacted
largely through the efforts of the Lee
gion. He declared 1924 was the most
successful year in the history of the
Legion in carrying out policies.
The eight Legion-sponsored bills,
made laws, were: the adjusted COM
pensation BILL the creation of the COM
mittee on World war veterans legisla-
ton of the house Of representatives,
Reed-Johnson bill, affecting more than
100000 disabled veterans and their de-
pendents; the Fernald-Langley bill, au-
thorizing the construction of fireproof
hospitals costing S6500,000 and con-
tanning 1850 beds; provision for a
$350,00O training school for blind vet
Grams at Evergreen, Nd; the Fred
ericks bill, providing a $1,500,000 fire.
proof hospital, containing 500 beds, at
Santa Monica, Calf; house resolution
authorizing survey and Investigation
of World war veterans hospitals and
soldiers homes provision for the cree
ton of permanent stone crosses in
overseas cemeteries; and the war
trophies bill, to distribute the vast
amount of war material captured and
aurrnOdarad from Horoonv
Other measures which the Legion ap-
proved and extended its influence
toward enactment were: the immigra.
ton act of 1924 which restricts and
selects immigrants and excludes the
Japanese; the constitutional amend
ment to prohibit child labor, which
now goes to the states for ratification.
Important provisions Of the Reed
Johnson bill are: extension to January
/, 1925, of the presumption of auto
matte service connection for disabin-
ties, from the former period of three
years after discharge, a provision
which will allow 10000 veterans to i'm
mediately connect their disabilities
with the service and thereby receiyA
government compensation; free care
and treatment In government hospitals
for any veteran of any war or expedi-
ton since 1897, without regard to the
nature or origin of his disabilities; re-
quirement that compensation cannot be
reduced or discontinued without three
months notice to the disabled veteran;
lapsed war risk insurance is automat-
ically reinstated retroactively where at
the time Of lapse the veteran had suf1-
cient unpaid compensation due him to
revive his insurance; the rating of dis
ability and awarding Of compensation
and disqualification was ordered de-
centralized; awards of compensation
for disability can now be made In the
6eld.

National Headquarters
on Insurance Matters

To clarity the confusion arising from
the fact that the government Is now
handling two types of insurance, war
time insurance, and adjusted compen-
sation insurance, both applicable to
veterans Of the World war, the Ameri-
can Legion at national headquarters,
Indianapolis, made the following an
nouncement: Wartime insurance
may be retained until March 3, 1926,
at which period it must be converted
to one or a combination Of the vari-
Gus forms Of insurance granted by the
government Term insurance Cancelled
or allowed to lapse since the discharge
of veteran from service may be re-
instated at any time before the above
date. The passage of the veteran
compensation bill in no way affects
the policies of insurance carried by
veterans. The insurance granted by
the new legislation Is in addition b
the government term insurance"

in, it is said. Radio receiving appa-
ratus is very much like the portable
electric devices which many deaf peo-
pie wear to amplify sound for them.
These devices consist of a battery
transmitter, and one or two receivers
Improvements in radio apparatus have
consequently been applied to portable
hearing devices, and several electric
companies have become interested In
the problem of perfecting electric de-
vices for the deaf.
A millionaire, who was determined
to make science overcome his deaf
ness, engaged the services of one of
these electric companies. The COM
pany's men studied the millionaire's
case of deafness and his house. They
experimental carefully AT last they
established a battery about the size
of a cupboard in the residence. This
battery was connected with each room
in the house. Now, the deaf million
aire puts on head phones in any room
and he can catch any sound in it.
One of the triumphs of this piece of
research is that the ear phone for each
ear is constructed to suit the condition
of deafness in that ear. This means
that hearing in the two ears is equal
lied. The deaf person, whose hearing
Is better in one ear than in the other
is not able to distinguish the direc-
lions from which sounds come. If
some one knocks at door tha deaf
person has to guess which door is to
be opened. If an automobile horn
sounds on the street he has to look
all around to see whence the warning
comes. The millionaire's receiving ap-
paratus corrects this inequality of
hearing, just as eyeglasses correct In
equality of vision.

western boundary is the Red sea. 1t
lies between the southern border of
Hedjaz-wherever that border is
and the northern frontier Of Yemen
wherever that is. Even more hazy Is
its eastern delimitation from Nedj.
"Asir's vague boundaries comprise
one of the least nomadic peoples of
the Arabian peninsulas. Its mountains
Montenegro once was; its fertile val
leys offer every inducement for the
rowing Arab to settle down.
There are Nomads in Asir, how
ever, notably a tribe who, theolog-
ically, are fundamentalist Moham-
medans and, from their appearance
have been called the hairy heretics.'
They declined to recognize any caliphs
after the death of Ali, the prophets
son-in-law. They let their heavy hair
grow in huge, bushy mops, suggesting

is not peculiar to Asir. 1t prevails
among the Arabian desert nomads.
yemen, to the south of Asir, Is
known because of Mocha, it's one-time
coffee center. Hedjaz, to the north, is
widely advertised, if not known, be-
cause of its holy city, Mecca. No Eu-

towns until the little district made
common cause with the allies in the
hope of throwing off the Turkish yoke.
And when the Turkish stronghold

Sabiyah, and gave the outside world
the first description of this curious
seat of governmental city of huts.
These round huts are by no means
squalid; they are circular, beehive
structures, made of clay laid upon a
palmleaf base. A recent Emir de-
cided to build a more distinctive
executive mansion, so he chose mud
brick and had erected a three-story
palace. A few wealthy merchants
copied this innovation.

That's a nice little postful, you will
agree.
Fred must have used the Racine

where he could find them. He went
to the homes of the fellows and into

complished. The story Of the Legion

Use the Proper Raeestat.

There has been considerable con-
fusion among radio fans regarding
the proper rheostats to use for diff
ferent tubes and for different comb
nations of tubes. 1t Is also difficult
for the average fan who knows moth
ing about tube characteristics and
Ohm's law to figure out the resist
ance necessary to enable one to use
certain tube with a current source
of given voltage.
For such / am going to give a few
facts which will enable them to use
such tubes and combinations OF
tubes with batteries of different
sizes.
Tho rating of a tube is given by
the manufacturer in terms OF the
number of amperes passed by the
filament at a given voltage and is
the proper point at which the tube
should be operated for best results.
II this rating Is known 1t Is easy
to calculate the resistance OF the
filament Of the tube by using Ohm s
law. which says that r equals IR, in
which + is the voltage. 1 Is the cur
rent and r is the resistance. This
formula, OF course, can be changed
SO as to find any of the values. If
is required the formula can be
made to read the terms OF by di-
viding both sides of the equation by
so that we get f divided by l
equals r. 1t Is rather confusing to
remember the various equations, 80
that 1t is best to remember it in one
form and derive the others as they
are needed. The easiest way to re-
member 1t Is that + equals IR. In
this form the letters are in alpha

Various Tube Ratings.
The WD-11 and WD-12 tubes are
rated as passing 0.25 amperes at IL
volts, The UV-1ss and .C-2ss tubes
are rated as passing 0.06 amperes
at volts. The UV-2O0. C-3O0.
UV-2Ol and C-301 tubes are rated as
passing l ampere at volts. The
UV-201A and C-30lA are rated as
passing o.25 amperes at volts.
By using the formula for resist
ance, r equals f divided by /, we
find the resistance OF the WD IL
and 12 tubes to be "A ohms, that OF
the UV-199 and C-299 to be SO ohms,
that of the UV-200. C-30O. Uv-2Ul
and C-301 to be ohms, that of the
UV-201A and C-301A to be 20 ohms
No matter with what current
source the tube is used, the current
passing through the filament OF the
tube must be kept at its rated
006 for the UV-199 and C-299, etc.
1t is. therefore, necessary, in each
case under consideration where a
given battery OF certain voltage is
used, to find the resistance necessary
in the circuit to keep the balance
expressed by the formula + equals
IR or by the other forms OF the
formula.
Since we are after the resistance
in each of the following examples.
the value of the current rating of
the tube and voltage of the current
source being known, we will use the

terry, we substitute in the formula
r equals divided by the current
rating of the UV-199 which is 0.06
and the answer Is 100 ohms. This Is
the resistance required In the circuit
to enable one to operate the tube at
its proper rating. 1t is not neces-
sary, however, to use a 100-ohm
rheostat because we have found that
the filament of the tube has a resist
ance OF so ohms. All that is neces-
sary therefore Is to use a rheostat
OF so ohms SO as to give a total
resistance in the circuit of 100 ohms.
Tube Resistance
There has been considerable misin-
formation on the proper resistance
required in operating the UF-201A
and C-301A tubes with a 6-volt stor-
age battery. Let us figure out this
problem In the same way. We have
found that the resistance of the fila
ment when the tube is operated at its
proper voltage and current IL 60 ohms.
When the tube Is operated on a g.
volt battery we find that the resist
ance required in the circuit to pass
the rated current Of 0.25 amperes is
L divided by l or divided by 0.25,
which gives us "a ohms.
Since we already have resistance
of 20 ohms in the f1lament, all that
is necessary is to use a resistance of
4 ohms to bring the circuit to the
proper balance, so that a 6-ohm rheo-
stat would be sufficient.
In practice you will find that the
tube can be operated with satisfac-
tion even when a greater resistance
is introduced, and since the lower you
burn the f1lament, the longer 1t will
last, it Is best to use greater
resistance of the order of 10 ohms SO
as to economize by lengthening the
life of the tube.
If you use this rule you will have
no trouble in finding the proper re-
sistance to use with any tube whose
voltage and current rating Is given.
When the filaments of several tubes
are connected in parallel and con-
trolled by one rheostat, the current
