He Lacked Storage Space

Congressman John K. Hendrick of
Kentucky, now deceased, was notori-
ously soft hearted. He was sitting in
a courtroom one day when a young
and struggling member of the local
bar, who was not especially renowned
for mental briliiancy, undertook. to
read a petition in a divorce suit and
speedily got himself badly tangled up
in a confused maze of legal phrases.
The judge undertook to set the young
lawyer right, but the only result was
to tangle him worse than ever The
judge was showing signs of losing his
temper when Colonel Hendrick arose.
81 hope, your honor" he said, in
his courtly speaking voice, that you
will bear patiently with our young
friend here. He is doing his best"
81 know that, Colonel Hendrick,"
said the judge, somewhat testify, "and
l intend to bear patiently with him. /
am merely trying to give Mr.. So-and-
So an idea"
.'Your honor" said Colonel Hend-
rick, don't do it. He's got no place
to put it"

"Now then, children said the Sun
day school teacher, in her best Sun

son for today is about the Prophet
Elisha. Can any little boy or little girl
here tell us anything about Elisha?'
'Me," answered ten-year-old
urchin, holding up his hand. Il can
tell about him."
"Very well, then, Eddie" answered
the teacher. "Now, then, all the rest
of you be nice and quiet while Eddie
tells US about the Prophet Elisha"
"Well," said Eddie, elisha was an
old bald-headed preacher. One day he

Why Shielding of Sets
Is Worth Consideration

The general opinion of the radio
constructor on the subject of shielding
is that every stage or circuit should
be housed in brass or copper case.
Technically speaking, this is not cor
rect. The object of shielding is to
prevent coils from picking up energy,
1. e., powerful signals or static from
outside sources and to increase Sc
lectivity.
This selectivity increase and inter-
ference prevention by shielding is best
accomplished by incasing the entire
receiver in brass or copper case and,
by placing the inductances in posi-
tions, with respect to their electro
magnetic fields, that make the coupling
between them zero or nearly so.
Placing each unit, or stage. in
separate metal case increases the re-
sistance value. The result of the re-
sistance increase is well known but
the inductance value decrease is prob
ably not as fully understood.
When the inductance decreases it is
necessary to increase the capacity Of
the tuning condenser. This increase
in capacity in a circuit consisting es-
sentially of capacity and inductance
decreases the voltage flowing in the
circuit. This type of shielding is nee
essary with some circuits, but as a
general rule should be avoided.
Though interstage shielding results
in extreme selectivity it is necessary
to employ one more stage of ampliti-
cation to make up for the loss in cir
cult efficiency due to the increase in
circuit resistance and capacity.

MITCHELL DRAWS
LONG SUSPENSION
Military Judges Announce Lenien-
cy on Account of War Ser
viceS-Airman Smiles.

Washin gton-A verdict of guilty on
all specifications and the general
charge coupled with sentence of
suspension for five years from rank,
command and duty" in the army, was
found against Colonel William Nit
chell by the court-martial which has
been conducting his trial for insubor-
dination since October Is.
"The court, upon secret written ball
lots, two-thirds of the members pres
ent at the time the vote was taken
concurring in each finding of guilt,
finds the accused guilty of al specifi-
cations and the charge.
THE court sentences the accused
TO be suspended from rank, command
and duty, with forfeiture OF pay and
allowance, for five years.
'The court is thus lenient because
of the military record Of the accused
during the World war, two-thirds Of
the members who were present at the
time the vote was taken, concurring."
Colonel Mitchell, standing as the
decision was announced, with Mrs.
Mitchell at his side, smiled.
Adjournment of the trial automatic
ally transferred the Mitchell case from
the old brick building, near the capt.
toll, to the war department. There it
will be forwarded by the adjutant gen.
eral of the army to the board Of re-
view in the judge advocate generals
office to be checked for inaccuracies.
Later the board will pass it on to Sec
rotary Davis. who, in turn, viii submit
the volIminous trial to President Cool
idge for final review and approval.

Fight for World Court Opens
In United States Senate

Washington-The World court is
sue finally was brought before the
senate, with immediate indications
that the long and bitter League Of
Nations fight is to be renewed The
chief point of controversy is whether
adhesion to the court means affilia-
ton with the league, and the forces
in the senate are arrayed in much
the same fashion they were during
the months of struggle over the COW
enant. Leadership of the forces for
adhesion again has fallen to a Demo-
crat, Senator Swanson of Virginia.
Standing in the foremost of those
opposing the court is Senator Borah,
Republican, Idaho, chairman of the
foreign relations committee, who was
prominent among the league irrecon-
cilables.

LoWden Asks Farm Survey.

Chicago-A national inventory Of
farm products and a federal farm
board whicr would utilize government
resources for the farmer as the fed
eral reserve board aids banks, was
suggested by former Governor Frank
o. Lowden of Illinois as a means Of
solving the farm relief question, in an
interview here. He said he did not
believe the farmers could ever go back
to their independence as units in civil
ization, or that they will be able to
solve their problem for themselves.
Farming has become commercial and
must be handled on broad CONNER
cial basis along non-political lines, he
asserted. Mr.. Lowden said he thinks
the core of the farmers trouble is the
disposal of surplus crops.

House Passes Tax Cut Bill.

Washington-The S325, 100000 tax
reduction bill was passed by the
house. 1t was sent to the senate in
the form drafted by the house ways
and means committee and approved
by the house. Sweeping reductions in
the income schedule, effective on taxes
payable next March Is, and in almost
every other federal tax are provided
in the measure, which was drafted on
a non-partisan basis and received BIZ
partisan support throughout the IL
working days it was before the cham
Der. This constituted a peace-time
speed record for disposal of such legis-
lation in the house. The vote on pass
age was 800 to 25.

A Scotchman's Conscience


A Scotchman's Conscience
The purchasing agent of big job
bling concern in San Francisco is a
Scotchman. He gave an extensive
order-indeed, the total ran into many
thousands of dollars-to salesman
for supply house Although he had
obtained the business in open competi-
ton, and by virtue of the excellence
quoted, the salesman felt gratitude at
being favored and sought a way to
show it.
He knew he dare not offer the Scot
commission; likewise a gift of
money, he figured, would be regarded
as an insult. He had an inspiration.
The Scot, he noticed, constantly
smoked cigars. So the salesman
excused himself for a minute, slipped
out TO cigar store and bought box
containing fifty of the finest Havanas
the tobacconist carried in stock The
price for the fifty was fifteen dollars.
He brought the box back under his
arm and asked the purchasing agent
to accept 1t with his compliments.
The latter drew back. He explained
that 1t was against the policy of his
house for its buyers to accept pres
ents of any sort from those with
whom the concern did business. He
was sorry, he said, but he could not
take the cigars as a present, even
though he felt sure his young friend
had rendered them with the best of
intentions and in absolute good faith.
The salesman had another idea:
well, he said, 81 hate to throw
these cigars away. They are of no use
to mel smoke only cigarettes. 1
wonder if you would buy them from
me?-there's no harm in that, I'm
sure"
What would you be asking for
them, laddy?" inquired the prudent
Scot.
I'll sell the whole fifty to you for
a nickel" stated the salesman.
The purchasing agent lifted one of
the cigars from the top row, smelled
it, rolled it in his fingers and eyed it
closely.
"Very WELL" he said, sat that price
I'll take four boxes"

Six Million Radio Sets
Predicted for Year 1926

There are approximately 16 radio
receiving sets in every 100 American
homes, compared with so automobiles
and SO talking machines. according to
a recent survey of the field. This stu
alton has come to pass after only three
wears of active selling on the part of
the radio industry. 1t is pointed out
that within about seven years the num-
Der of radio sets per 100 homes will
exceed the number of monographs.
Between 100000 and 100000 man.
ufactured sets will probably be sold
in 1926, it is believed, while amateur
operators and on-professional set
builders will produce around 100000
homemade receivers in addition to the
factory products. If these figures are
correct we shall have around $780,
600 sets in operation during the year.
There will still be a demand, how
ever, as there are today estimated to
be 24,OO0,O00 homes in the country-S4

Aerial Should Be Kept
Away From Other Metal

The efficiency of an aerial depends
on it's freedom from distractions,
mainly, and on it's length and height
The height of an aerial is increased to
place it above instructions, and it's
length is increased to intercept more
energy from the passing wave.
Copper is the best metal to use in
an aerial, and it should be of wire not
smaller than No. IA gauge.
The wire should not be run parallel
to other wires or metal. 1t should be
in one piece, from the distant insulator
to the binding post of the set.
The lead-in wire should be kept
away from the side of the building.
This wire is part of the aerial, and
must be insulated where it enters the
building.

Do Not Dope Battery
to Induce Activity

Do not make the mistake of "dop-
ing battery to make it active. A
storage battery is made of lead and
lead compounds, which absorb acid
from the battery solution as it delivers
current. To begin with, the battery is
fully charged and has solution which
contains the proper amount of acid.
Because the plates absorb this acid
as it discharges, some sleight-of-hand
artists have been making nice liv-
ing by pouring more acid into it. OF
course, the additional acid makes the
battery operative. But the acid and
the addition of more dope has no
effect. The battery then must be-
charged
