Dogs Running !
After Rabbits
ArOuses Manchester

The Department of Inland Fisher
les and Game received Thursday
night an urgent request by telephone
to look after the dogs which We're
running at large and chasing rabbits
and small game in the vicinity of the
Outlet OF CobbosseeContee Lake. The
parties who notified the office are
much interested in the conservation
of deer in that vicinity and fear the
dogs which were then chasing rab-
bits. etc, would soon be chasing the
deer.
The Department informed the
party who made the complaint that
the present law does not prohibit
dogs from running at large. and
dog cannot be killed by an officer
unless found in the act of chasing
deer. The Department will endeavor
to identify the owners of the dogs in
question, and IL evidence is secured
that the dogs have been chasing
deer the usual statutory notice will
be given the owners. then If the dogs
are again found chasing deer they
are liable to be killed by the officer
so finding them and the owner will
be subject to a severe penalty.

Van Buren, Water
Supply Improved

The Public Utilities Commission has
received a complaint from DIR. Elmer
W. Campbell, director Of the Division
of Sanitary Engineering of. the State
Department of Health, against the
Van Buren, Water District alleging
that ARCHAEOLOGICAL tests Of water sup
piled to the public by the district show
bacterial results which do not come
up to the United States Federal stand
ards for tho purity of drinking water.
This is the standard which is adopted
by the laboratory of the Maine Depart
ment.
Upon investigation the Van Buren,
Water Co. made the following commu-
nicatiOn:
after careful investigation of the
above entitled matter, we have come
to the conclusion not to take any
chances by using the water in the
condition that it is reported to be in
by the State Department of Health.
We will therefore proceed to purchase
and install the necessary apparatus
for chlorinating the water. Would
suggest that the proposed hearing in
regard to the said matter be called
off"
The intended hearing was held open
and upon receipt Of the following COM
munication from DR.. Campbell, the
formal complaint was dismissed:
please be advised that the Van
Buren, Water District has complied
with the recommendations Of the SAM
tary Engineering Division of the
State Department of Health and in
stalled methods for purifying the pub
lie water supply, which are satisfac-
| tory to this department. The last test
on this supply showed that the ap-
paratus is being operated efficiently
and producing results which meet
with our standards for the purity of
water for public water supplies.
In consideration of the above facts,
we would recommend that action now
pending against the Van Buren, Water
| District be withdrawn"

"The Bad Man" Proves Advance OF
Cinema Arr

1.-THE Bad Man" an Edwin Carewe-
First National picture which opened
at the Colonial Theatre yesterday. is
as fine an example OF the forward
strides that are being made in motion
pictures as could be wished,
This principal reason for this Is
that The Bad Man" is a photoplay
with a plot.
Holbrook Blinn. star Of the origi-
nal stage version, is the star also of
the film play. Blinn is so accom-
plished an actor that comment on his
ability would be out OF place. Suf-
ficient it is to say that there is no.
screen actor that can be called TO
mind at this moment who could give
finer Interpretation of the role than
Blinn. Charles A. Sellon, in the role
OF Uncle Henry" was also a mem
Der of the original stage cast and
the same praise goes for him too.
Enid Bennett. whose work with
Douglas Fairbanks in Robin Hood
Will be remembered, plays the lead
ing feminine role. She is delight
fully dramatic at times, yet whimsi-
cal and she lends her entire self to
very difficult role. Jack Mulhall
is an adequate hero and Walter Nc
Grail makes a very finished villain
and Wall street broker all in one.
The others in the cast whose work
deserves special mention are Harry
Myers. Teddy Sampson. Stanton
Heck, Thomas Delmar. Frank Lam
ming and Peter Nenzuella.
THE Bad Man" furnishes a fine
evenings entertainment. The story
is very obviously founded upon the
operation of the late Pancho Villa
along the border. but Porter Emer-
son Brownies facile pen has drawn
in all the characters with delightful
satire which turns all the most seri-
GUS moments into the humorous.

Money Savers at Every One of the Variou,
Departments on Our Third Floor
Palisadian., 1924-08-15
BY HARRY GEORGE

Admitting that static is q bugbear to
radio, 1t knows no favorite type Of set ;
1T affects all. but engineers have de-
signed circuits and methods Of recep-
tion which at the present stage Of de-
velopment can be termed as highly sat
isfactory means.
One Of the greatest steps along these
lines is the development of the loop
aerial.
But to get down to the point Of our
talk. 1t has been said that loop will
pick up but ITO the signal voltage that
could be obtained with the use Of an
outdoor aerial. If this Is so 1t is
easily seen that we must increase or
amplify this signal to such value that
1t will operate a detector; the method
OF wiring up and operating q radio
frequency amplifier has been published
in detail many times, therefore 1t will
not be given now. Our thought is the
construction of the loop itself. In
laboratories and work accomplished by
the vast number of radio experiment.
ers different types and sizes Of loops
have been used, ranging in size from
small coils one inch in diameter, honey
comb coils and receiving coils of vari-
GUS tuners up to massive single-turn
loops measuring 10 feet on a side.
Best Type Of Loop.
Experiments proved that the best
type of loop for use on the broadcast
ing wave lengths measured about 8h
feet on side and consisted Of but a
single turn Of No. 18 green and yellow
single conductor lamp cord. This loop
was tuned by means Of .0006 variable
low loss condenser and the results ac-
cOmplished by 1t fully equaled those
obtained with an outdoor aerial meas
uring 75 feet long.
Owing to Its awkward dimensions 1t
was impractical for home use. There
are, however, smaller and more con-
venient sizes to handle which will give
very good results.
The Illustrations will give the expe-
rimenter an idea of types of loops
which can be constructed at very
small cost. Figure / shows the loop
used in the Sleeper Monotrol receiver.
The crosspieces measure 27 inches, or
1917 inches on side. 1t is wound with
10 turns Of standard flexible loop wire
spaced one-half inch apart, the outside
turn measuring IS inches. 1t is pro-
vided with set Of taps, which are con.
nected to the I'd, 4th. 9th. 9Th and 9th
turns. This arrangement, which Is
found in no other loop, performs the
UNIQUE duty of controlling the potential

| cellar along with the charging appa-
ratus, but unless you know the circuit
you are using you may encounter
losses through such an arrangement.
Heavy wire should be used for bat
terry connections In all cases. They
should be allowed to work at their
maximum when needed and they can.
not do this with fine wire for connec-
tionS.
No. Is annunciator wire Is practical
for such connections and easy to pro-
cure. A stranded flexible wire. such
as that used in house wiring, is even
better.
