l7 BODIES ARE
 TAKEN FROM MINE
(Continued from First Page)

He was coupling cars in the main entry just outside the third and fourth entries.
 At the Sullivan hospital, Davidson was recovering today from numer- GUS cuts and bruises. He was taken from the mine by Clarence Ford and Harry Lewis, who found him buried beneath pile of slate. They carried him several hundred feet through the "man-way" of the mine to the open air.
 It was Davidson's third injury in q mine accident, but he insisted to- day Chat when he recovered he would resume the occupation.
 Cobb Lamb, an experienced miner and member of the rescue team, after an exploration of the workings early today, said there was a possi- bility that some of the bodies never would be recovered. There were many bad falls, he said, that had
  it almost impossible to retrieve them.
 Relatives Still Hopeful.
 Many of the women awaiting at the mine mouth were loathe 10 be- lieve their relatives had peri6hed. The wife and four daughters of Dave Smith were insistent that he had escaped. His name was among the missing, Vivian Smith, one of the daughters, was a member of the girls al-state first aid team that won prize in the Indiana first aid contest at Bicknell last year.
 Daddy isn't dead; l know he isn't dead" cried Vivian. He knows too much first aid. He knows how to take care of himself"
 Various Theories.
 As the rescue work progressed. various theories regarding the or igin of the explosion were advanced. That a gas pocket was opened up was generally agreed, but whether it was ignitcd by miners lamps or by a spark from some unknown source was uncertain.
 Davidson, the survivor, told of seeing Harry Anderson, mine boss, and one of the missing, hurrying into three and four entry a few seconds before the explosion. Davidson added that he had heard some of the work CTS talking of a squeeze" in the entry and presumed that Anderson had gone to investigate the condi- ton of the workings.
 Just An Accident.
 Norval Harris, SullivaE county prosecutor said today that q grand jury investigation of the disaster is improbable. Tt is one of those &C., cldents that occur not infrequently in coal mines and in an investigation would add little, if anything, to the known facts as to how to prevent an accident in the future" said Harris.
 Like the Collins Cave.
 One theory advanced us cause for the explosion was that a squeeze" occurred, shattcring tim bcrs that supported the walls and re- leasing a gas pocket. The mine squeeze" it was explained, was sim lar to that which blocked the open ng through which rescue workers of first made their way to Floyd Col ins in the early days of his imprison nent in Sand Cave at Cave City, Ky. James Black, q rescue worker said braces in the entry in which most of | he miners met death were twisted md shattered. The mine was one of the most | steadily operated shafts in this com It has had few shutdowns Il recent years.
 Regular work was afforded its em- ,loyes and many of them were home owners. The mine payroll carried | AZ names.

Official recognition by the federal
government of this Army of Nature
Lovers" came last summer in the call
ing by President Coolidge of the Ma
tional Conference on Outdoor Recrea-
ton at Washington. The federal gov
ernment's position is now one of sup
port and cooperation. Various COM
missions and committees are making
nationwide survey of outdoor recre-
alton resources of all kinds with a
view to closer cooperation.
One Of the Immediate results of the
organization of the Recreation Confer
ence is an investigation by an official
commission this summer Of scenic
areas in the Blue Ridge, Great Smoky
and Mammoth Cave regions, with the
view Of establishing one or more ma
tional parks in the Appalachian noun
tains. Congress will presumably de-
eide at it's next session whether 1t will
appropriate funds for the purchase OF
areas selected by the commission.
The Migratory Bird Treaty with
Canada protects the insectivorous
birds and the waterfowl. Both are
increasing rapidly, to the benefit of
the farmer and the sportsman. I'm
der better state laws big game is sat
isfactorily increasing in several states.
The American people are waking up
to the necessity of a forestry policy
that will save the United States from
becoming a treeless nation.
Nature study and natural science
are being put into the schools as a
part of the regular curriculum, with
the view of educating the coming gen.
Grafton to appreciate the necessity for
the conservation Of natural resources
conservation meaning use without
abuse.
The state park moyement-which
includes county, municipal and com
munity parks-is as fiourishing as the
national park movement.
Save the Redwoods League has
made a successful campaign for the
preservation from the lumberman's ak
of several virgin groves Of Redwoods
in California. They will be state
parks and possibly a national park.
The American people are being
taught that natures wild places are
educational as well as recreational
Museums and nature guides in the

When Dry-Cell Tubes
Are Used in Radio Set

When dry-cell tubes are used in 4
set, the operator should take into ac-
count the ampere consumption and
provide enough batteries so they will
not run down prematurely Not more
than .123 amperes should be drained
from an ordinary six-volt dry cell.
1t a tube is used that consumes .25
amperes, use at least two dry bat
teries in parallel ii. e., connected plus
to plus and minus to minus). This
will not increase the voltage; a 11h-
volt tube will not get any more vol
tage from two batteries in parallel
than it will from one, and there is no
danger Of it burning out. Tubes that
call for more voltage must, of course,
have more batteries hooked up in
series Il. e., plus to minus). The more
tubes there are in a receiving set
the more batteries should be hooked
up in parallel, as the ampere drain is
greater. The directions accompanying
dry-cell tubes should be read carefully
and voltage and amperage require
ments noted

Slip Paper Under Dial
Before Tightening Screw

Often the dials on homemade
radio receiver will turn in anything
but a smooth fashion simply because
the hub of the dial is rubbing against
the edges of the shaft hole. In mount
ing dials of the ordinary type it is
well to slip piece of paper under
the dial before you tighten up the set
screw. Then you can remove the
naper with the assurance that there
is sufficient clearance between the
hub of the dial and the surface of the
panel. Some of the dials which can
be mounted without a set screw have
a tendency to move toward the panel
when the clamping nut is frightened.
With such dials it is desirable to use
three thicknesses Of paper.

| by Frank Reichmann. is due to the fact
that the magnetic field of the coil is
self-contained so that there is no spray
ing effect of lines of force as found
with the open end type of coils. Coil
pickup of interference is practically
eliminated, making the receiver tune
| much sharper than when ordinary coils
are used.
Few parts are required for the cir
cult and construction is within the
limits of the novice. Wiring is without
complications and the receiver can be
constructed on panel by 10 inches.
Tuning is accomplished by single
dial, eliminating the difficulty in Oper-
ating a radio set often experienced
by persons unfamiliar with receiving
sets.
The Parts Needed.
In addition to the panel, the follow
ing apparatus is needed:
l lOwloss dOughnut coil, coupler
type.
l low-Ioss variable condenser, .OO05
mid. capacity, preferably the straight
line frequency type, so that the Sta-
tons on the lower wave lengths may
be easily separated.
l iron core radio transformer.
low-ratio audio frequency trans
former.
1 either fixed or variable crystal de-
tector
l fixed mica condenser of each of
the following capacities: .001 MID,
.0O2 MID, and .00O25 MID.
vacuum tube socket.
l telephone jack.
Binding posts and wire.
The receiver is compact enough to
be used as a portable set, and will.
give satisfactory service providing a
good aerial and ground are obtained
whenever the outfit is to be used.

The nature-lover, up to about ten
years ago was an easy-going person.
He was content to enjoy nature in his
own way. The silent places" were
fast disappearing, to be sure, but he
had ten or a dozen national parks
which were bits of the original wilder
ness and wild-life sanctuaries, dedi-
Gated to the American people forever.
SO he went on his way, complacent
and unafraid.
Congress changed this disposition
overnight by opening up the national
parks to commercial invasion under
the water-power act. Thereupon the
nature-lOvers sent out a nationwide
IS. o. S." They first forced congress
to reverse itself and exempt the ma
tional parks from the operation of the
act. Next they proceeded to organize
an army of defense. Finally they en-
tered upon a constructive campaign
which has made outdoor recreation in
its various phases one of the Invest
nonpolitical issues of the day. This
"Nature-Lovers' Army" now numbers
about 100000 men and women, mem
bers Of more than 125 organizations
Here are some of the more impor
tant things that have come about since
the nature-lover hit the trail with his
war paint on:
The following national parks have
been established: Hawaii, including
three famous volcanoes; Lassen Vol
canic in California; Mount Mckinley
in Alaska; Grand Canyon in Arizona !;
Lafayette on the island of Mount Des-
ert, Maine; Zion in Utah (including
Bryce canyon).
National monuments to the number
of fourteen have also been established
by Presidential proclamation.
Congress has established the nation
al park service, in control Of the ma
tional parks. Previously the manage
ment Of the national parks was vested
in several clerks in various bureaus
of the Interior department; the nation
al parks were considered q liability
instead of great national asset.
The. "See America First" movement
has been developed and carried to in
creasing success. This summer more
than two million Americans will visit
the national parks and monuments
and keep half billion good American
dollars at home and In circulation.

Loud-speaker operation, usually &C
complished only through the use Of
multitude receivers, is obtained by the

Requiring but a single tube, the re-
celVer can be assembled into a very
small box complete with batteries for
portable use. The controls of the set
consist of but single dial and a rheo-
stat, so that the panel can be practi-
cally as small as the dial itself. A cabi-
net 6 by 6 by inches will contain the
complete receiver, and both "a" and
b" batteries can be included by max
ing the cabinet and Dashboard slightly
larger.
The tube itself does double duty in
the receiver, simplifying the current
first in the form of radio frequency,
then it is detected by the crystal and
returned to the tube to be amplified
at audio frequency. This efficient
means of getting the most out of one
tube is called "refexing."

In addition to the advantages gained
by the use of the reflex principle of
construction, the use of the newly in
vented low-lOss dOughnut coil for
tuning inductance increases the volume
at least 30 per cent more than when

Importance of Crystal
and Care 1t REQUIRES

In the reflex type of receiver, in
which the crystal is used as detector,
the sensitiveness of the crystal deter
mines almost completely how sensitive
the entire set will be. The impor-
lance of using a good crystal can be
imagined in this case The tlrmness
of contact of the cat's-whisker with
the surface of the crystal is important.
If the contact is too light the receiver
will have a tendency to howl. If the
contact is too heavy the receiver will
not be as sensitive as it otherwise
would.
1t is customary with modern crystal
detector stands to provide some sort
of covering, usually of glass, so that
dust and dirt are prevented from accu-
mulating on the surface of the crystal
and so that it is impossible to allow
the fingers to come in contact with the
crystal itself. In this way the crystal
detector retains its sensitivity for a
much longer period of time and the
receiver as whole is correspondingly
better.
