Hum Taken Out of

NEW YORK, April 1.-THE
hum usually heard in reception
and attributed to a peculiar ra-
dio tube characteristic, is said
to be eliminated from new
type Of tube developed by Her
bert e. Metcalf, formerly pro-
fessor at University Of North
Dakota and now engineer for a
radio company.
1.-THE noises In a tube are pri-
marily due to vibration OF the
fila ment in relation to the

led to the development Of
tube which is non-microphonic,
or quiet, except when a radio
signal enters the receiving set"

Chart TRACES
SOURCE OF ALL
D STATE MONEYS
Auditor Also Shows Where
Every Penny of PubIiC's
Dollar Goes.

In an interesting chart prepared
by Lew S. Bowman, State auditor,
The source and distribution of every
dollar of public revenue collected in
Indiana is shown.
Principal source of revenue, the
chart shows, is through direct taxa
ton. BY this means Al cents Of
every dollar is raised, making an es.
timated total collection for 1925 of
100000 900. The next greatest item
OF revnue is the Scent gasoline tax.
through which $7,000,000 will be
raised, or approximately 20 cents on
each public dollar.
Federal Aid
Federal road aid gives II cents Of
every dollar raised, which will make
about $3,700 900 in 1925, for State
road construction. Auto license fees
bring in about 8 cents, or $3.50, 900.
Insurance fees, collected through the
State insurance department, will
amass approximately $1,S00,000, or
about cents Of the public dollar.
Through the State inheritance tax
the State will receive $1,000,000, or
three cents Of the total dollar. Office
t&ees will bring in a corresponding
6Anount. Miscellaneous sources of
Sfevenue account for nine cents of
the public dollar, distributed in total
amounts as follows: poll tax, $780,
900; State institutions, $3.50 oil
inspection fees, $225,000, and Incl
dental amounts, $2,750.000.
Bulk for Roads
From a standpoint of distribution,
the State highway commission re-
ceives the lions share of the same
dollar when it is apportioned Thirty
one cents, or about $11,000,00Q, go
directly into road work. State in
stitutions follow, receiving a 17-cent
slice, or about 100000. State school
revenues take 10 cents Of the dollar,
totaling $3500,000. The State edu-
cational institutions receive a 7-cent
portion, making total Of $500, 900,
and the teachers retirement fund
gets Scent share, or approximately
100000 The remaining 80 cents
