ruptive discharge takes place only. if the building up takes place faster than the leak from the lighted filament. Therefore, if the, leak of the lighted filament is reduced, by lowering, the temperature of the filament somewhat, the disruptive discharge takes place considerably faster, and by suitably ad- justing the temperature of the fila ment, the disruptive discharge may as- sume a frequency such as to produce any pitch of musical note desired to suit the ear of the listener.

 "Then if the sub-audible light varia- tions change the resistance of the Thal- ofide cell ever so slightly, this. changes the time of the intervals of the build ing up and breaking gown of the dis charges or, in other words, the audible note which is continuously heard in the loud speaker. The signals are, there fore, made evident by change in the pitch, of the constant note heard, and sub-audible signals, such as the twink ling of the stars, sound like dot-and- dash code, by the variations of the con stant note. Amplification is. obtained by looping the plate filament connec- tion on the grid.

S., a big eyed, swarthy little baby, was playing under his. mothers feet in the dark living room of a little fruit store in the busi- ness street, just a block away from the big R. house. As he grew up, his mother discovered to her joy that he inherited her love of music. For though she was not a musician, she had come from a family of violin makers in Italy and the musical tradition was strong within her.
 When they were strug- gling to make a living out of the fruit business, Mrs. S. made unbelievable sac rifices to save out enough to buy her son a violin and to pay for his lessons. The fruit and vegetable busi- ness prospered as the neighborhood built up; Tony's father bought in another location, then an-

Simple Apparatus Is Used By Scientist
 Listening 10 IStars

- .1
 HERE is the apparatus by which Theodore W. Case, Auburn sci
 enlist, is listening to the stars" At the upper right is a dia- grams of the 'thook-up," which re- ceives the star light, through the barium cell; at the left, translates it into faint electric impulsions, ann plifies it in the audion bulb at the center and gives it out, in a high musical note, broken by dot.and- dash sounds, through the loud speak CT at the right. The diagram, which is for the reception of sub-audible light signals, provides for straight amplification. The light cell is brought right onto the filament grid of the audion bulb, with an appro- priate resistance hook-up, with a high vacuum in the bulb. A dis ruptive discharge takes place be- tween the filament, and the plate, causing the continuous musician tone in the horn. The signals come in, as a change of pitch of the continuous note, due to change of resistance of the photo-electric cell. The effect is amplified by. looping the plate filament onto the grid. This is the apparatus which was first used two years ago in listening to the stars and planets twinkle-just two years ahead of the achievement of European scientists.

seph."
 For a while the promise stirred Tony to effort; the then the temperament of his musical ancestors as- serted itself and there was a reaction. If he did not actually lose interest in his violin, the old urge to work hard was gone. His teach CT stormed in his vehement Gallic way and the mother wept in her imploring Gal lie way. It was the crisis in his career; it must be met, And she decided tG buy him the violin now, if she could get what she wanted. That might bring back the old fire, renew the early ambition.
 While she was looking up names and possible chances in The Age-Herald 'classi- fled pages, under "MusicG Instruments" she came across Mrs. R-'s Want Ad.

 Tender Hearted Jurors
 The only solace in the Rendigs case is that such crimes are 50 rare as to emphasize the integrity of the mass of jurors. It is a heinous offense to be guilty of miscarriage of justice, delib- ately done, as a juror. In the book let am going to quote the words of Lycurgus: On the head of the crimi- nal lies the crime, but in a miscarriage of justice the jurors delinquent become participants of guilt"
 Some Excuses Offered
 Pressure of business is a freuuent ex- cuse offered by talesmen, and it is usually oyerruled. Sickness in the fam fly is often put forward. A physician's certificate helps in such circumstances. Aversion to jury duty is offered. That doesn't. hold.
 One woman returned summons ad- dressed to her husband with the com ment: "Bfr. B. has gone to Europe. If hes didn't make better juror thar, he did husband, you are to be con- graduated" Across another returned summons was scrawled: 'Moved to Lutheran cemetery"
 Years ago letter came to the office of the commissioner signed Samuel L. Clemens" A summons for jury duty was returned with the letter. A clerk in the office became indignant, for Sani- uel l.. Clemens was returning a sum- mons, that had been written out for one Mark Twain. The humorist wrote that he was ineligible for service, having re- gently moved out of the city.
 A summons in some manner was sent to Rudyard Kipling and forwarded 10 him in England. The noted author wrote his regrets that his British citi- zenry would forbid the pleasure of jury duty in New York. Clyde Fitch and William Dean Howell were among the literah who mailed in excuses. Years ago letter came from Italy in which F. Marion Crawford apoligized for fail ure to answer, a summons on the day designated, as the jury call had not reached him until after that date.

 News For Radio Fans
 Case described his apparatus- sim pie indeed, it seemed, in view of its momentous use. With 'Thalofide" cell, which Case has. perfected, and specially prepared audion bulb, any radio amateur can reach out into space a few hunderd light years and brag to the boys at the office about how he ''got Arcturus last night.'
 When we first began listening to the stars, several years ago." said Case, we used two methods. One. covered sub audible and the other audible light va riations. There is third possibility, the supra-audible, which we did not in- vestigate, but which should be includ- ed.
 'In general, the method was to use highly sensitive light cell such as, for instance, the Thalofide celia form of the photo-electric cell, using barium instead of selenium, which translates light into faint electric impulsions. This was mounted at the focus of a parabolic reflector to get more concen- tration of the light from the star in the light cell. The light cell was then con- nected to a straight audion amplifier, either by transformer coupling, or re- sistance coupling, direct to the grid filament on the first simplifying bulb. This method was used to detect light variations of an audible frequency; that is, any light pulses from twenty vibrations a second up to 5000 a sec ond, would manifest themselves in wire less phones or a loud speaker, with this method of amplification, which is straight anplification and common practice.
 When it came to the detection of sub-audible light variations, a different type of hook-up was used. In general, what we did was to use an audion bulb in connection with the Thalofide cell, the audion bulb containing an in- ert gas at a definite pressure, such that an oscillation was continuously main- tained through the circuit containing the loud speaker and Thalofide cell in the plate filament circuit. Then, if any sub-audible light impulse changed the resistance of the Thalofide cell, this became noticeable as a change of pitch in the continuous note which is heard in the loud speaker. A certain quantity of inert gas is placed in an audion bulb, so that as the potential through the Thalofide cell builds up on

Bright and early the next day, Mrs. S. was at the address given.
 And when she saw the Joseph" ]" her instinct told her it was genuine almost before she examined it closely and had heard its history.
 "Oh, I know that great violin players like the "Jo- seph," i" she exclaimed. "It's bigger than those that the early Brescian makers turn out and it has more-what is it-robust tone than the Anati or Stradivarius. And here is the sap mark on the belly," she ex- claimed, suddenly holding it to the light.
 So Mrs. R-knew that if this eager Italian woman bought her Joseph, !" it would find it's native home. Would the price she wanted for it stagger her?
 Calmly, but with a palpi- tating, inward breathless- ness, Mrs. R. spoke of the $2,500, and the next mo- ment that suspense gave away to a breath-taldng arnazement as she saw the Italian woman take out 8 purse from some hiding place in her dress and count out the bills.
 Each mother celebrated the achievement in her own way. Very quietly was Arthur told to make { his plans to go to college, aS if it had been intended from the first. In another part of town, there was a big party; neighbors and friends and relatives were invited in; at a dramatic moment the violin teacher, arrived and the presenta- tion to Tony of a genuine Joseph of the seven teenth century was made. And both mother and teacher knew when he played it for them that night that they had met the crisis in his career.
 So to two mothers the Want Ad has come to to connote something more than announcements of merchandise and property for sale. Its commercial ism has been glorified to an almost magic aspect for did it not influence pro- foundly what is closest to the universal mothers heart, her sons career?

 other, until he had a chain of stores in that part of town and sometimes his weekly income ran into four figures.
 So when Tony was 16, his mother had made a pact with him-if, by the time he was IS, he full filled the big promise the teacher said it was in him to fulfill, she would buy him a genuine "Amati'' or 'Stradivarius," or a "Jo-

A seventeenth century violin that had come all the way to this country from Cremona, Italy, where the most. famous violin makers of the world. piled their craft, might seem to have achieved it's destiny by now. But it remained for a short and simple Want Ad in The Age-Herald to prolong that destiny until it intertwined with those of two people whose lives, hitherto, were as remote as the poles from each other.
 The violin was a genuine Joseph Guarnerius, the same model on which Paganini played. It was a century old when some member of the R- family purchased it abroad, early in the ninteenth century. There were no musicians in the R-family and the in- strument was kept as a rare treasure, an object dart, and finally the pres ent members of the family put it in a vault.
 There were only two in the family. Mrs. R. and her son, Arthur. MT. R. had died during the war, leaving investments that should have provided enough income for his family but for the depres- sion that reduced dividends to almost nothing. Now there was not enough to send Arthur, who was just IS, to college. Mrs. R. could not see a college bull letin without a sinking heart. Why, a college edu- cation was an inalienable right with every male in the R. family.
 More and more her thoughts had been turning to the violin, the genuine Joseph" reposing in the vault, silent, inspiring no musician with it's infinite potentialities of melody, not even invoking admira- tion for it's beautiful work manship. Of course it was a sacred heirloom in the family, a traditional legacy even to consider selling it seemed almost a heresy .. but what a mockery to hand down to Arthur in lieu of the real legacy he was entitled to and which this would buy for him--a college education.
 And if she could sell it to someone who would ap-

At the same time as this is going on a small leak current is slowly taking place between the lighted filament and the plate, and this dis

SPECIAL COURSE IN JURY DUTY IN
 COLLEGE URGED
Study Would Make Git
 izens More Willing { !. To Serve r

NEW YORK, July 6.-C6llege classes in jury duty and course in the responsibility of the lay citizen to uphold the jury system are suggested by Frederick O'Byrne. As commis- sioner of Jurors for New York county, Mfr. Byrne has the task of supplying the men who fill the boxes at all trials in the. supreme, general sessions and surrogates' courts and in small civil courts where juries are needed, says the New York Times. He intimates that citizens of intelligence and educa. ton know far more about sidestepping jury. duty than about performing it. Commissioner, O'Byrne's purpose is strengthened by, the recent. scandal growing out of the Fallon-R -Rendigs case. But in his experience of many years, first as a full commissioner, he says he has come upon not more than half, a dozen instances, of perversion of duty by. jurors, . M
 Commissiner O'Byrne was asked by. it is that so many citizens shrink from jury duty. ;.
 Largely because many of them are not made to realize that it is an honor and an obligation of citizenship" he replied. That is why should like tc see college students instructed in the subject of jury duty. Many are called who do not know what is required of them. Students could be taught, and there are many books which they could read on what is required of a juror. They should be made to realize that the constitution of the United States pro- vides for the jury system and that the system is with us to stay. They should learn the history of the system. The course should be one not of occasional lectures, but of constant lectures and recitations, as in any other college course. The student would then emerge from college with sense of citizenship that is not felt by men who fail to ap- preciate the. necessity, in the public in- terest, of their service in the jury box.
 '"There would be less inclination. to shirk duty. E, We should have less occa- sion to reprimand talesmen on their filmsy excuses. In the five counties of this city last year some 5S,000 men served on the various juries, besides those called for federal service. As many more. were excused on legitimate basis. The cost in fees amounted to aI- most $1,000,O00. Altogether, more, than 100, 900 men were summoned for exam
