SPOTLIGHT ON
AMERICANS
IN CHINA
Several Navy Families
Bound From Washing
ton to Troubled Area
BY JEAN ELIOT.

wv ITH China reused from her
W. immemoriaI calm and loom.
w ing on the horizon as an
active volcano, the spotlight IS
naturally conferred upon little
group Of Washingtonians now
headed In that direction. Most i'm
portant, Of course, are Mr.. and
Mrs. John Van A. MacMurray, since
Mr.. MacMurray takes over the
duties of American minister to
China at a parlous time and with
an effort being made to induce the
United States to take a hand In
the settlement Of China's internal
difficulties and her quarrel with
interest attaches, also, to the little
group of naval officers who are
sailing shortly for China for sta
5 ton.
Lieutenant Commander and Mrs.
Clarence Nelson Hinkamp, for
example, are leaving here next
Thursday, after having been sta.
toned at the Navy Yard for two
years, and viii sail on June 81,
from San Francisco for Shanghai
IN the heart OF the most troubled
area Of China On the same trans
port viii go Commander and Mrs.
Hall Mayfield, who have been on
duty here for the last year, and
Captain and Mrs. John Marquart.
The Marquarts have been at New
port for a. yearSand only temporar-
l1y here on leave, but before that
they were stationed In Washington
and they have many friends here.
All three Of these women seem
to be looking forward to their adj
ventures with interest, enthusiasm,
and no touch Of dread. Indeed, Mrs.
Hinkamp says she fears but two
possibiliti that the excitement may
all be over before she lands Or that
the trouble may grow so intense In
Shanghai that all tho womenfolk
may be prevented from landing by
the powers that be and shunted off
TO the Philippines or Japan. Mrs.
MayfieId and Mrs. Hinkamp are to
have adjoining staterooms on the
transport and expect to have the
merriest sort OF q time on the
voyage.
The Hinkamps are stopping In
Milwaukee on their way West for
q visit to Commander Hinkamp's
mother and win only be In San
Francisco two days before sailing.
They are taking their small son
with them. They have but recently
returned to the Navy Yard after a
short leave. which they spent In

Times are certainly changing
Fathers used to hold grudge
against their young sons because
the latter were lazy and stupid.
Now the modern father is just a
little jealous of sonny's capacity
for learning.
The radio has done it. "That
boy of mine is making set of his
own" Smith complained, "and I
don't even know how my own
works. Just now he's busy build
ing himself an odd looking coil.
He says he's going to get a cats
whisker, whatever that is, hook the
combination to my aerial and
ground and get the local stations
with the ear-phones. Can you beat
that? Imagine that young brain
of his holding all that dope about
oscillating electromagnetic waves
and that dope you shot into me
the other day!"
That's where the boy has the
advantage on you," l explained.
'He just assumes that the air is
full of these waves, each train of
them being at a different wave
length. He looks to the easiest way
to catch the waves he wants.
From others he has learned that
the simplest way to do this is to

employ a detector and a tuning
coil"
"But what does this coil mean
to him" Smith stammered
"The boys WISE" 1 retorted. "He
takes a few things for granted.
You get confused because you want
to know too much at once. He
knows that the frequency of the
radio waves, their rate of Oscilla-
tion, is determined by two things:
Inductance and capacity. The coil
takes care of the inductance, while
the condensers take care of the ca
pacity He goes at it the same
way that you figure interest, with
out giving thought as to who first
thought of it and whether the orig
inator was right.
"This little coil he is building is
some form of inductance. It's prob
ably cardboard core on which he
is winding a number of turns Of
bare copper wire. One end is at
tached to the aearial wire, the other
to the ground. Probably he's go
! ing to tap the coil at several points
so that by means of switch he
can come closer to the wave lengths
he tunes for. You don't have to
know any more about this coil than
I that the length of wire used be-
tween the aerial and the ground
regulates the inductance and brings
this simple set into resonance, or
tune, with the inductance used in
the transmitting outfit"
"The boys coil is a little diff
ferent. Smith explained "There
seem to be sliding contacts that
will touch the coil at any one of
the turns"
"That's a tuning coil" I said rec
ognizing the type. with the slid
ing contacts he can obtain a wider
variation in inductance in his work
! of intercepting the waves. 1t also
means that he is working on two
circuit arrangement that is a little
bit more complicated than the one
you or any other beginner ought
to tackle at the start"
This rubbed Smith the wrong
way. "You aren't telling me a
thing except that the boy knows
more about it than T." he snapped
Noting the fever of the family
competition I Immediately got out
radio catalogue and, pointing to
number of odd looking articles of
various shapes and sizes, said:
Here's where you can put some
thing over on him. When he gets
his little tuner all finished just in
form him that he's using a system
that's all out of date. That will
make him ask questions and view
you as an authority"
THAT will be nice way for him
to make a monkey out of me-"
Smith confessed
"All you've got to tell him is
that his sliding contacts do not ad-
nit of any neat or convenitnt form
of control and that if he wants to
have regular set like dads with

Radio Listeners Should
Acknowledge Programs

Radio fans are warming up the
popular indoor winter sport, and
are getting their instruments out
and properly tuned. They find that
this season the programs have be-
come more varied and of a higher
standard, and the improved sets
are bringing in stations from more
distant points.
Broadcasting stations are this
year, more than in past seasons,
broadcasting the messages of ap-
probation received. 1t would be a
good stunt if every person in Wins
low, who listens in on good pro-
gram would send card or message
to the station, telling them about
the reception. In most cases the
messages will be broadcasted from
that station, and people all over
the country will be apprised that
there is such a place as Winslow.

Diamond Creek Dam
Application Refused

All power development on the
Colorado river was ordered tenn
porariIy suspended by the federal
power commission, pending an
agreement among Colorado river
basin states for division of the
rivers waters.
This action postpOnes the COM
missions decision on the applica-
ton of James B. Girand, for pow
er project on the river in Arizona.
This order Of the commission met
with the request of majority of
the Colorado river states. The
commission urged the states to
reach speedy agreement on the
division of the rivers waters, so
development could proceed with all
possible speed.
The commissioners carefully
weighed the arguments in favor Of
the project, but it was considered
that the objections, coming from
official sources in all the interested
states, could not be ignored. The
decision was given on the recon-
mendations of o. c. Merrill, execu-
tive secretary OF the commission,
who had procured from the COM
MISSIONS legal division an opinion
as to the legal aspects of the mat
ter.
The application of Grand was
entered in 1913, before the creation
of the federal power commission,
and it was stated by his attorneys
that a body established after the
compliance with existing require
ments by the applicants could not
nullify the rights. This, however,
is undetermined, as the commits
sion merely postponed the grant
ing of the permit until certain de-
sired conditions are brought about.

Great Auto Racing
Program At State Fair

The greatest automobiles racing
program ever prepared in the
southwest under American Auto
mobile association sanction will
bring together the fastest cars and
the most daring drivers in Arizona
for the crowning event of the Ari-
zona free state fair and the final
event Of fair week festivities.
Prizes totalling $4,000 will be
paid the winners of the four racing
events to be held on Saturday af-
ternoon, November IA on the mile
track at the state fair grounds.
Drivers from Douglas, Yuma,
Phoenix and Holbrook have entered
cars in the events and such we'll
known Arizona speed demons as
John Carminetti, Jimmy Owens,
Jimmy Thomas, John Randolph and
Charles Goldtrap will display spec
ial racing cars for the first time
on Arizona tracks.
Owens, the favorite in the So
mile event of the Phoenix racing
fans, has new Rickenbacker
which he will drive. Goldtrap has
built special Essex and Thomas
has a special Hudson racing car.
Randolph has entered his Ford
Special and Peterson will drive a
Dodge.
The 50-mile event pays $1,000 to
the winner with prizes of $400 and
5000 to second and third. A $100
prize goes to the winner of the
first event, one-mile trial. The
five mile race, a free-for-all, pays
$10O, SIS and $50. The ten mile
race pays $3.50, S125 and $50.

"What'll l suggest to take its
placer
Tell him that by adding a vari-
able condenser to an inductance
coil he can get far better varia-
tion in the inductance. Show him
picture of one of these sets with
dial to operate variable con-
denser and a series of contact
points to make the rough variations
Of the turns of coil wire used. Or
you might suggest using variO-
meter and give him a present of
one so that you can find out what
it does.
In telling him this you will come
to see that there are a number of
different pieces of apparatus that
will intercept the radio waves, and
the more complicated ones are not
only very fine in their adjustments
but also furnish the means of vary
ing the circuit that includes the
detector."
"That'Il do" Smith warned. 81

better let me put this one over on
the boy before you get into the
subject any farther. If l give you
a ring on the phone tonight you'll
know that I got away with it. Then
you can tell me what happens af-
ter you've started to catch these
radio waves"
Smith was commencing to profit
by taking things in order, although
he had to be cautioned against for
getting that in using his set he was
gaining practical experience that
would eventually help him with the
theory.

BILL FOR FOREST
And ROAD BUILDING
Special to the News.

Special to the News.
Washington, d. C. Feb. 9.-The
Senate on Wednesday passed House
bill, No. 4a7l, known as the Dowell
bill, authorizing an appropriation of
$3.50 100000 for forest department
roads. These appropriations are for
period Of two years, commencing
July lst, 1925. This insures an ulti-
matelv successful gram, as out
lined by the forestry department for
old roiacts and new authorizations.
The sl50,000,Oo0 caaral aid must be
matched BY state whlle s7,500,000 for
each cf the states may be used by the
forestry artment to build roads
without any expenditure Of like
amounts BY the state. TIE secretary
Of agriculture M e al Of this
money to improve or build new roads
in the forests. Forestry department
rosds may be built for fire protection,
forest development and opening up
new resources for the public good.
This means that there will be plenty
of money to carry out the program of
the forestry department in Montana.
