Best Possible Radio Frequency Unit
Easy to Build at Home Using
Standard Parts

Here Is q tuned radtofrequency anpltfier, including regeneration,
which may be connected ahead of any receiver, making the set more
selective and sensitive. 1t has been designed to give efficient amplt
tcaton over the entire broadcast band of waves, and includes a means
of choking off interfering signals from nearby stationA. It has two
controls, one for wayelength and the other for regeneration, the first
being a variable condenser and the second a variable resistance. A
unique feature of the set is the tapped plato coil which makes the
circuit unusually responsive to low, medium or high wavelengths. The
wiring of the switch shortcircuits the turns not in use. eliminating

Ranch of Mrs. Evans.

Mexico City, Mexico. March 5.-The
Mexican government is taking steps
to protect the life OF George Camp
an American, and the administrators
of the san Pedro Coxteean hacienda,
near San Martin Texmelucan. State
OF Puebla, 1t was learned today I'M
officially but authoritatiyely.
Friendly representations were made
to the foreign office yesterday by
American Ambassador Sheffield
whereupon Information, which had
been lodged with the United States
embassy by Camp. was placed before
the executive department OF the gov

est in the investigation.
Camp alleged he was forced 10
abandon his hacienda after attempts
were made to ambush him and the
greater part Of the property expro-
priated In violation OF the agrarlan
legislation. The Hacienda formerly
was owned by Mrs. Rosalle Evans, an
American woman and widow of a
British subject who was killed last
August in an ambush near the ranch.
In addition to furnishing Camp
with guarantees or personal safety, 1t

examination Of the medical report on
which Lieut.. Frank f. Kennedy was
placed in the state hospital for the

bur has asked the medical authorities
at Mare Island navy yard for fur
ther report on the officers mental

ately granted leave to recover his

Habeas corpus proceedings to OBJ
tain Lieutenant Kennedy's release
from the asylum, instituted BY his
wife in the state courts OF California
ended In a decision that the court
had no jurisdiction.
The medical report in Kennedy Is

that he was suffering from hysteria

uncomfortable by the authorities at
the Mare Island hospital.
Wilbur feels, however, that ii is
possible that Lieutenant Kennedy, II

would recover to a substantial degree
under the care of his wife and rela-
.tives and has requested the opinion
OF the Mare Island navy physicians
on that point.
Should the medical officers believe
1t would be hopeless TO attempt
restoration OF the officers mental

will be transferred 10 the government
