]. W. WOODCOCk Tells
OF Police CONDITIONS.
IN CLIFFSIDE FARK
SAYS Morale Is Excellent and
Nightly Inspection a New Fea-
ture; Appeals for Re-
election.

To the Voters of the Borough OF
Cliffside Park
= In support of my stand and policy
as chief of police, l wish to state that
never before in the history of the
borough have we had police depart
ment working as smoothly and as eff
ficiently as it is today l have been
able to secure the fullest cooperation
from my men and they are all thor
oughly satisfied. The morale among
my men is higher at the present time
than ever before because they are
being treated right. The policemen
have had their salaries Increased and
each has been placed on sliding
scale of wages designed to give him
an increase of 500 each year until he
has reached his maximum.
During the past year two regular
men have been added to the force
and an extra man has been placed 1T
the desk. This latter scheme has
been followed to meet the increased
demands made upon the police de-
partment during the day. In this way
requests are attended to Immediately
because it leaves a man at the desk
constantly.
During my term as head of this de
partment, | have inaugurated the sys-
tenn of nightly inspection by the cap
tain. This system calls for the lining
up of the men just previous to their
going on duty, and having their equip
ment such as pistols, handouts, clubs,
ETC., inspected. This gives the cap
tain the opportunity of knowing
whether his men are properly clothed
and equipped to perform their duty
to the fullest extent
In the matter of the men making
their hourly rings from the police
boxes during their rounds on duty,
must say that very few rings have
been missed. Frequently box will
be found out-of-order and in the past
this constituted an excuse for not
making a ring; but under the present
system, such a condition is no ex-
cnse and the men are expected to go
to the nearest telephone to make their
ring and to report the box out of or
der.
have made recommendations
which will make far better police pro-
lection throughout our borough. This
added service will be taken care OF
just as soon as possible and provision
for such a change will be included in
the next budget
In closing, | will say that l have
the highest regard for Captain Borrell
and his handling of his fine body of
men and | will assure the voters of
Cliffside Park that should l be re-
elected, my efforts on behalf of the
police department will continue un-
tiringly.

Local Scout Troop
Attends Big Barbecue

Twenty-Five Scouts of Troop /, Cliff
side Park, under the leadership of
Scoutmaster Yaeger, formed one Of
the largest troop representations TAX
ing part in the annual overnight camp
and barbecue held by the North Ber-
gen Council of Boy Scouts, at Oradell,
N. j., last week. Six hundred and
thirty Scouts, representing thirty-nine
troops, participated in activities which
four whole pigs and two large hams,
roasted over large barbecue fire, fix
ings included.
Troop 1 added to their fame as
hardy mixers by making a seven-mile
hike from Hakensack to Oradell, car
rying packs holding tents, blankets,
ponchos, etc. On their arrival at
camp, tents were pitched, fire-wood
gathered, and supper of broiled steak
and baked potatoes was quickly under
way, cooked by the Scouts over fires
before their shelters.
After supper, a large Council Fire
around which all the Scouts assem-
bACd, lOl iiOh LhC 1SotulC VI tiiC CNC-
ming. A fife, drum and bugle corps
from the Leonia aggregation contrib
uted lively music. After Council Fire
the Scouts turned in as taps echoed
from various points about the camp.
Shortly after sunrise Sunday morn
ing numerous cook fires marked the
preparation of breakfasts, of wheat
ena, bacon, eggs and flap-jacks for
healthy appetites. Following a rigor-
Gus cleanup of camp sites, the boys
assembled for a Scout church service.
After the church services, tantaliz-
ing odors of roast pig, floating through
the camp as result of the energetic
attentions of Scout Executive Bruce
Wellington and able assistants, made
any repetition of the barbecue mess
call unnecessary Troop l was fourth
in the lineup, and their tin plates
received healthy portions of roast pig,
potatoes, corn, peas, bread and jam,
all of which disappeared with remark
able rapidity.
Shortly thereafter tents were struck,
packs made up and husky and happy
troop turned their faces homeward
with vow to be present at next years
celebration.

his machine. After Simone and Con-
tey got out, he turned his machine
around and waited about block away
for them to sget the other car started.
After crossing the wires of the igni-
ton, -Simone stated he got the auto
mobile running and followed Perry's
machine to the Fort Lee woods.
Policeman Kinzler upon examining
the license plates on the machine
found that the three had put another
set of license plates over the original
plates. The license covered was
175040, and is that of William Cole
man of SO Bentley street, Jersey City.
the rigntful owners plates bore the
number of 389,710, which had been
issued to Perry.
Both Contey and Simone, the Fort
Lee police say, have served terms for
burglary, larceny and other charges
during the past few years, and it is be-
lieved that Perry, alias Perro, has
also a prison record, but due to the
fictitious names given the police it
will be necessary to check up his
fingerprint record in order to unearth
his prison record.
Chief of Police Aiken believes that
more than fifty auto thefts during the
past few months in Hudson and Ber-
gen counties can be traced to the trio.
The three were turned over to the
Jersey City authorities.
The Fort Lee police were commend
ed by both the Hudson County and
Bergen County authorities on the ef-
ficient work.

COAL COMPANY'S
SAFE IN EDGEWATER
ROBBED OF S125
Cracksmen's Loot Comparative
ly Small Because Men Had
Already Been Paid Off.

The safe of the Edgewater Office of
the Burns Bros. Coal Co. was opened
and robbed on Friday night of last
week The loot was only S125 as
pay day was over and was not on Sat
urday as the thieves evidently antici-
pated.
Although the work would indicate
that professional safe-breakers had
looted the strong-box, wore gloves,
it is said, the intruders left finger
imprints on the pane Of glass of the
window through which they entered
Entering his office about eight
o'clock on Saturday morning, Man
ager Kenlon of the station, found the
safe with it's doors torn off.
He Immediately informed the police
and Patrolmen Joseph Ferrie and
Patrick O'Brien hurried to the scene.
Captain James Dinan and County
Detective Nathan Allyn later arrived
at the coal company Office.
Investigating, they found that the
intruders had attempted to Jimmy"
rear door to the office, to later
change their plan of entry to forcing
the window.
The detectives and police officials
found fingerprints on the window
door of the safe and table in the
office.
In forcing open the strong-box
which is one of the old style, the
looters tore off the outer door and
bored hole in the one corner of
the inner portal, then using a can
opener to cut it loose.

A AND B BATTERIES
ARE VERY DIFFERENT

The difference between an ga" and
"B" battery is current reserve and
voltage. The "a" battery is used to
supply 201-A type tubes and has a
capacity of about one hundred amper-
es while the "B" battery is rated in
milli-amperes, meaning so many thou
sandths part of an ampere. The "a"
battery gives six volts, and the "B'
battery gives from % to 45, according
TO its size.
The number Of cells in the battery,
whether "a" or "B". determines its
voltage. The "a" battery cell de-
livers two volts, and the "B" bat
terry cell one volt and one-half. When
number Of the cells are connected
In series, the positive terminal OF
one cell of the negative of another,
the total voltage Is the sum of the
individual voltages. The six-volt "A"
battery has three cells, giving six volts.
The 45-volt "B" battery has 80 cells
and one and one-half volts each.
A higher voltage battery is needed
for the plate circuit than for the fila
ment, to force the required current
across the space between the plate
and the filament, when the latter is
emitting electrons. The "a" battery
Of six volts would be unsuitable for
this purpose and the "B" battery
would be unsuitable for heating the
filament. The. high voltage of the
"B" battery would burn out the fila
ment wire in a moment.

LAWS ARE NEEDED
TO POLICE ETHER

WASHINGTON, Oct. Shy far
the most serious difficulty of the
radio listener is the interference
caused among broadcasting stations,
operating upon nearly the same wave
lengths
The anxiety of hundreds of corpora
tons and individuals to get their par.
ticular message "over''-in other
words to operate their own broadcast
ing for semi-advertising purposes
has brought about the operation on a
great many more stations than the
wave bands between 200 and 600 can
accommodate.
- If the number Of stations were I'M
limited. the radio listener would get
nothing of a nightmare of catcalls and
squeals. The Department of Com
merce now maintains n check on the
stations by its power on some govern
mental agency where licenses are OBJ
tanned.
Hoover believes that there is a great
necessity for a new radio law which
will confer sufficient power on some
governmental agency to properly regu-
late the stations which go on the air
nightly.
At the present time, stations IN
most cities are dividing time. As
result of this, in many cases broad
casters offering the public program
of highest excellence are silent part
Of the time, while other presenting
a mediocre entertainment bore the
listeners.

Music as Solace.

In a trapper's cabin In the midst
Of the Ozark Mountains there is a
radio receiving SEA- home made
affair--whence comes music that
browns out the night cries Of the
wildcat, the wolf, the coyote.
And in the tower Of Greens Lodge
Light House, off Rowayton, Conn.
there Is another radio set that brings
entertainment to the lonely keeper OF
the light that guides ships safely past

them with concerts from far-away sta
tions.
And so It Is in the light house,
which is guarded by Thomas ]. Muir

tinual nightmare. By being brought
into close contact with the world

NEW TUBE REPLACES
ALL SET BATTERIES

A new tube looking like the 201A
type is now capable of taking the
place of all batteries when it is in
serted in the ordinary sockets of q
receiver and used with a special unit
in small cabinet connected to the
house lighting system.
The new tube operates on any no.
volt supply having either direct OF
alternating current. 1t contains two
electronic emitting surfaces. which re-
suits in richer electronic emission
per unit of surface than is obtained
in the present storage battery tube.
which, in turn, tends to prevent the
possibility of overlooking.
The filament, which is lighted d.
rectly from the 110-volt supply, also
functions as heater for an addi-
tional element, which, when heated,
emits electrons. The electronic ennis,
sion from the filament is used for rec
tifying purposes and the emission
from the new element, surrounding it
in the form of circle which meas
ures IL inch in diameter, functions
in the same manner of the filament
of the present tubes.
The general size and appearance of
this new tube is the same as that of
the 201A type tube.

CRYSTAL KEEPS
BIC STATION
ON WAVE
Newly Adopted Device
Shows Slightest Variation
in Stations Frequency.

We all are creatures of habit. Do
ing the same thing many times in sue
ceession makes us do it subconscious-
ly, until in time it becomes a habit.
For example, il your radio receiver
mas been Celebrated to bring in TIE
signals from broadcasting station
at certain number on the dials, it is
reasonable for you to suppose that
this will always be true when you
tune to that station.
But this is not always the case, due
TO the fact that some operators of
broadcasting stations do not keep the
wave lengths of their stations accur-
ate, sometimes allowing them to vary
several kilocycles from what has been
assigned to them by the Department
Of Commerce.
In observations taken during the
past three months, WLW has not
varied rs much as one lSilocycle. To
use smile. it has not varied by as
great a proportion as the weight of
pound of rice would vary if one grain
were added or taken away. This ac-
curacy in keeping to the assigned
wave length has been made possible
through the use of Piezo crystal
oscillator. by means of which varia-
tons of few cycles can be detected.
Measurement of variation of one
part in 100000 OF WINS wave
length can be detected with this in

RADIO SOCKETS NEED
SOME ATTENTION

The four terminals of a socket
connect the grid, plate and filament of
radio tube to the other instruments
in the receiver. One terminal or post
is marked &C." which is the grid, an
other is "P." for the plate, and two
more are marked "F' for the fila
ment.
When the tube is inserted in the
socket the four prongs on the base
press on the socket springs and es.
tablish contact. This contact cannot
be reversed because the tube can turn
only n certain distance, when n pin
on the side engages slot, where it
is held in place.
While the contact cannot be re.
versed 1t can be imperfect, if the
springs lose their tension. They must
have enough to bear up well against
the prongs, and they must be free
from dirt. The tips and the spring
should be kept clean, therefore, to
maintain perfect contact,
Some sockets are marked "F posi-
tive" and IF negative" but it is of
no importance II these connections are
reversed. The important connections
are the &c" and up" posts.

Should the receiver have a tendency

that the aerial tuning circuit Is too
