BE 1T further resolved that if it is
found practicable His Excellency is re-
quested to make the inquiry by radio.
The above elected the following reply
from the Honorable Government Secre-
tary c.. S. Baker:
Mr.. Adolph Gereau,
Secretary, The Republican Club.
St. Thomas.
Sir:
| have the honor to acknowledge, for
His ExcelIency the Governor, the receipt
of your letter of the twelfth instant, en-
closing a petition signed by yourself and
Mr.. Lionel Roberts.
His ExcelIency desired me to assure
YOU that it was improbable that any re-
sponsible branch of the Government was
considering annexation without consult
ing the Governor. He has had, sorfar,
no intimation of any such action.
The Governor has. however, acting
upon your request. dispatched a radio
gram to Washington asking for the in
formation you desire.
Very respectfully,
c.. S. BAKER.

The following resolution was forward
Cd TO His ExcelIency the Governor by
the Republican Club:
WHEREAS there is a persistent rumor
in the Municipality of ST. Thomas and ST.
John that there is a mOye on footin Wash

States TO Porto Rico under a common
Insular Government, and.
WHEREAS a large majority of The
people of the Municipality of ST. Thomas

settlement are regarded by President
Coolidge as satisfactory and fair to both
nations.
Washington. Captain Paul Foley re-
quested Secretary Wilbur yesterday to
relieve him as judge advocate of the nav
al court of inquiry into the Shenandoah
disaster, declaring the charge made by
Mrs. Landsdowne had made him interest

he felt he could not continue his present
duties.
Warsaw. Polish cabinet resigns owing
to difference of opinion between Minis
tiers and Bank of Poland in regard to
method of maintaining exchange value

Manchuria. Marshall Changi Tosolin,
Manchurian leader, has issued orders for
all troops to withdraw to Manchuria; this
is believed will have the effect of post
ponement of China civil war indefinitely.

manslaughter were issued in New Jersey
against Timothy j. Carroll, engineer OF
the Pennsylvania train that crashed into
the Washington Express near Plainsboro,

CALLIAUX WRECKS
FRENCH CABINET
Forces Colleagues To Resign
Posts After Failure To Agree
on u. S. Debt.

Paris-The French cabinet has re-
signed. Thus Premier Painleve and
his associates brought to climax a
dramatic fight of several days which
conferred in removing Finance Minister
Joseph Caillaux from power. Pain
leve went alone to President Domer-
que and presented the joint resigna-
ton, which was accepted. The cab
met issued a statement saying its re-
signation followed the conviction that
it was impossible to carry out it's pro-
gram without the certainty of stable
majority. This was manifestly sug-
gestion that Caillaux's financial meas
ures would be unacceptable to the
chamber majority.
Caillaux refused to be forced out
alone. Instead, he told Premier
Painleve and Foreign Secretary Bril-
and that If he were to fall, then the
whole cabinet must go. too. 1t was
virtually a def to them to proceed
with driving him from public life, for
he warned them that unless the whole
regime retired, it would fall before the
French chamber later. There was
much displeasure with Caillaux for
failing to achieve at Washington a
settlement Of Frances debt to Amer
lea, although Caillaux suggested that
1t would not be many months before a
real agreement would be forthcoming.

Mellon Plans New Tax Slash.

Washington-A new schedule OF
normal income rates was presented
to the house ways and means commit
tee by Secretary of the Treasury An
drew Mellon.
The proposal suggests a rate of 1
per cent on the first $4,000 of taxable
income, per cent on the next $1,000,
8 per cent on the next $4,000 and 5
per cent thereafter.
This arrangement, the secretary
said in a letter to Chairman w. B.
Green, probably would be more sat
isfactory than the recently submitted
treasury schedule suggesting 1 per
cent on the first $4,000 of taxable in
come, 8 per cent on the next $4,000
and per cent thereafter.
Present normal rates are 2 per cent
on the first $4,000 of income, per
cent on the next $4,000 and per cent
on the remainder.

starts then radio-frequency amplifica-
ton can be used to full advantage.
But this control must not be such as
to add resistance In the tuned circuits
Plate Voltage Control.
Oscillation can be effectively pre-
vented If variable resistance is con-
nected In series between the plate or
primary coils of the radio-frequency
transformers and the "B" battery to
prevent oscillation by reducing the
plate voltage on the radio-frequency
tubes. Now, by connecting one-halr
mid. condenser between the "B" ter
minal Of the primary on the radio-fre-
Quency transformers and the filament
terminal of the tubes, this artificial
resistance can be shunted out of the
tuned circuit. This condenser closes
the plate circuit to the filament of the
tube for the radio-frequency currents.
In other words, on account Of the con-
denser these currents do not have to
pass through the observation-disclosures
the resistance does not affect the tun-
ing and selectivity.
This variable resistance provides
means of reducing the plate voltage
and therefore controls oscillation.
This means Of controlling oscillation
was first utilized commercially by e.
F. Andrews in the deresnadyne re-
ceiver.
The "Anostat."
Engineers have now developed the
use of this by-passed plate circuit re-
sistance as a volume control, as well
as an oscillation control. This Is done
by using an extremely high variable
resistance having a maximum value Of
several megohms. The circuit Is just
the same as for the control of oscilla-
ton. The first part of the resistance
can be used for oscillation control, and
the high resistance part for control
ing volume. Volume can thus be adj
justed without the slightest distortion.
and with great saving in ''B" battery
current.
A combination control which may
be used for this purpose Is known as
the "anostat."

BY HARRY J. MARX, In New York
Herald Tribune.
Resistance Is an inseparable fac
tor In all electrical circuits. 1t may
not be there in the form of rheostat,
potentiometer or other piece of re-
sistance apparatus, but every part of
the circuit, whether it is just copper
wire, connections, condensers, coils or
any other unit, has some resistance
value 1t may be great or small. as
the case may be, but it exists and is
factor in the circuit. Copper wire is
good conductor, meaning its resist
ance Is low, while a noncondenser SIM
ply means something that has a very
high resistance.
Present-day radio apparatus is so
designed as to reduce as far as prac-
teal all resistance in the tuned cir
cults.
Oscillation.
This elimination Of surplus resist
ance permits much sharper tuning
and, therefore, improves selectivity.
But in radio-frequency circuits it null
tiplies the tendency of tubes to go into
oscillation. producing the assortment
OF squeals, bowls and whistles which
not only come out of the loud speaker,
but back up and go out in the air to
play havoc with the neighbors' recep-
ton.
The old and incorrect practice was
to add a potentiometer in the Sec
ondary circuit of the radio-frequency
stages. This was equivalent to re-
placing the resistance back into the
apparatus. 1t reduced the oscillation
tendency, but it likewise killed the
selectivity that was desired and in ad-
dition materially reduced the volume.
Resistance should not be added where
it becomes an integral part Of the
radio-frequency circuits.
The fundamental cause of oscilla-
ton Is due to great extent to the
amount of voltage across the plate
circuit. If this voltage is controlled
SO that 1t can be adjusted to a value
just below the point where oscillation

"Kilocycle" Is Taking

A new word, "kilocycle," gradually

of dials is found to have certain adj
vantages in the new term "kilocycle."
which means frequency, or the num-
Der of waves per second.
Just as a musician" the depart
ment said, 'can vary the number of
oscillations of his vocal cords, but
cannot control the length of the sound
waves, so a radio station. can vary
the number of oscillations per second.
and let the wave lengths be what they
will.
"To obtain the frequency when the
wave length in meters is known divide
100000 by the wave length In meters.
The answer is in kilocycles. Likewise,
the other way round, divide 100000 BY
the number Of kilocycles to ger
meters"

Tube Is Not Governed by
BriIliancy of Filament

The effective operation of any
vacuum tube is not governed by the
brilliancy of the flament. AS mat
ter of fact, one should never use the
brilliancy of the filament as an indi-
Gator that the tube is working prop
erly. Modern vacuum tubes have
coating placed over the filament which
greatly increases the electron ennis
sion. The filament merely serves as a
heater to generate the emission of
electrons. One will find that with
tubes using the coated filament the
life of the tubes is not governed by
the filament burning out. but by the
loss or deterioration Of the coating on
the fiIament. When this happens the
tubes will remain Lit. but no signals
will be heard.

and had lived in Minneapolis 80 years.
Mr. Barney was one of the little group

at Ripon, Feb. %, 1854, and started
the movement for new political
party. 1t crystallized rapidly and
took over the remnants of the Wing
party and the free soil democracy in
the congressional elections that year.
Mr. Barney took part in the Lincoln
campaign and was with the Union
army when Atlanta was captured. He
remained republican all his life, ex-
cept in 1892 when he voted for Grover
Cleveland.
