HOW TO OBTAIN
BEST POSSIBLE
RESULTS IN SET
A Few Valuable Hints on In
creaSing SeIectivity
Of Set.

The problem, very often, of pick
ing a good station from the air and
tuning in on it without interference
when a multitude OF broadcasters
are transmitting in the vicinity, is
almost as great as trying TO locate
a friend and have a quiet chat with
ahim at a world series baseball
game. Transmitting stations be-
come towers Of Babel, and no mat
ter how you seem to manipulate
your controls. you may get at one
and the same time a marvellous com
bination Of grand opera and jazz and
advice to the housewife.
The answer to this problem is Sc
lectivity, and here are few hints
on how TO go about increasing the
selectivity OF your set:
i. II an outside aerial is used
keep 1t as short as possible consist
ent with best results.
q A condenser should be placed
in series in the antenna circuit. For
the average receiver the capacity of
this condenser should be .0e2.
3. II the receiver is powerful
enough It should be operated on a
loop, rather than an outdoor aerial,
for a loop Is 6rectional and there
fore selective.
4. Additional tubes and condensers
should be added to the radio fire.
quency circuit. Generally speaking.
the more complex the receiver the
more selective it is.
8. With the increase in the power
OF the set more battery power
should be added.

FUND HELPS WORKERS
 DURING SLACK SEASON

NEW YORK, June 30. (P-New York now has modified form of un- employment dole in the highly sea- sonal cloak and suit industry.
 Hundreds of workers, idle requis- ite nine weeks this season, recently began receiving weekly benefits of $10. The payments came from an unemployment insurance fund of more than $1,2O0,OOO, originally con- ceived by special commission ap- pointed by Governor Smith, and now jointly borne by employers themsel- yes.
 Workers pay in to the fund one per cent of their wages each week they are employed. Manufacturers contribute two-thirds of the weekly payroll. If the manufacturers tack on the amount of their preponderant assessment to the selling price of cloaks and suits, it has been said, the workers will be receiving part pay vacations during otherwise "off'' seasons, two thirds of which will be paid by the we'll dressed wom- an.
 The gubernatorial commission, however, say substantial benefits ac- cruing from the unemployment in- surance. If it alleviates labor dis tress and unrest it may conceivably curtail costly interruptions and stop- pages in the industry, a saving which would more than ''pay the freight," !" it was said.
 Union demands at the bottom of past strikes, it was pointed out, had always calculated the extent of idle time as we'll as working time in reaching the figure which the union leaders fought for as a living wage.
 Under the present system, unem- ployment benefits end after F weeks, and may not exceel s120.

Fairbanks News-Miner)

\
 MT. Noel W. Smith, manager of Alaska Railroad, who was accompa- nied to Fairbanks Friday night by Le- gal Advisor Barndollar, made an in- spection of the road near Gilmore which they came here at the request of the Fairbanks Exploration compa- ny to consider and the railroad as it is now to Fox and Gilmore will very soon be moved off mining ground now owned by the Exploration company to where it will not interfere with the mining company's dredging work the Exploration company to pay the expense.
 New track here decided upon will run from the main line to the Moves sawmill, to land lumber and supplies there for the Fairbanks Exploration Company, which will soon have city of it's own on the banks of the Moves river, far from the mad dening crowd. A. 'Y' track will also run right up to the doors of the A. R. c. buildings lover there" so that coal and gas tanks and other things can be landed inside the stockade or the buildings from the cars.
 The City Beautiful, which Garden Island was to be with flowers and shrubbery, with fountain attach ment, will not be considered while MT. Smith is running things of a railroad nature.
 The impression of the railroad people seems to be that the Fair. banks Exploration Company, as is evidenced in today's dispatch from Seattle, via the Alaska Bureau oi the Seattle Chamber of Commerce will this year or next spring start erecting large power plant on the Moves company, for the transmission of power to their dredges on the creeks and for the use of Fairbanks to which the company will sell any excess electric power they produce.
 MT. Smith says the railroad i: running satisfactorily, and that tht receipts for May of this year, ex ceeded those of May last year. The railroaders returned to Anchoragt on yesterday mornings train.
