Single Tube Set That
Is Super-Regenerative

This is a new single-tube receiving
circuit, known as the Nacireman. 1t
was developed during series of ex-
periments with large number Of re-
ceiving circuits. This new circuit is
not suitable for wired radio because
of its tendency to re-radiate, but It Is
probably the last word in a simplified
single-tube set for receiving news and
music from the present broadcasting
stations.
The circuit is described in the in
terests of amateurs and the public
who may wish to listen to the pro-
grams now in the air. The set is
super-regenerative. 1t requires a mini
mum investment in parts. Practically
every amateur already has everything
necessary to try out the circuit. 1t
will be noted that all resistances, grid
leaks and grid condensers have been
eliminated and no filter circuits are re-

OR do you test it out in various To-

considerable difference in the satisfac-

WHY WE DON'T BLEED
TO DEATH

a PROMINENT western railroad of.
"A fetal, living in Los Angeles, went
to his dentist TO have an aching tooth
pulled. So far as he or any one else
knew, he was perfectly healthy man.
The dentist pulled the tooth and 1t
Dled, just as any ones tooth would.
But at the end of several hours, In.
stead of gradually decreasing. the
bleeding kept up. Every known method
was used to stop 1t. But 1t didn't
stop. 1t kept on bleeding through
that tiny hole In the gum until all
the blood In the body was drained out
and the man died from lack of blood
just as surely as though he had had
a great wound or had cut one of the
large arteries.
Why did this apparently healthy
man bleed to death from a trivial
cause? Or, on the other hand, why
doesn't everybody keep on bleeding
whenever the skin is torn or blood
vessel opened?
Because in the healthy person, there
is substance in the blood that hard
ems on exposure to the air and causes
the blood to clot, plugging up the torn
or cut blood vessels and stopping the
flow of blood. In some persons, this
substance, for some reason is lacking
and the blood does not clot but keeps
oozing from the wound. no matter how
small.
This condition is called hemophilla
or "a fondness for bleeding" Persons
with such a condition are called
"bleeders."
How do they ever live to grow up,
you ask? Few of them do. Three
fourths of them die in the first two
years Of life.
The condition Is hereditary, the
males being generally the bleeders and
the females transmitting the disease
to their male children without suf-
fering from it themselves. Bleeders
are generally healthy persons with
blonde compilations, delicate skin and
blue eyes.
Nose bleed, hemorrhage from the
gums or from any of the organs or
from some slight cut or scratch that
does not stop, as in the normal indl-
vidual, may be the first sign of any
thing wrong. Strange to say, small
wounds bleed more and are more dan
gerous than large ones. The amount
of blood lost is enormous. Fortunate
ly, bleeders stand hemorrhage better
than normal persons.
While many remedies have been
suggested, TRANSMISSION from a healthy
person of blood which is capable OF
clotting, is the most effective treat
ment.

the cabinet.
Sometimes thick felt pad placed
under your receiver will stop queer
noises called 'microphonic." caused by
vibration in the tubes when someone
walks across the floor. "Howling" of
the tubes sometimes is caused by hav-
ing the loud speaker too near the set,
particularly when 1t is set right on
top of the cabinet. Another effect Is
muffiing the tones of the music re-
ceiyed. Try placing the loud speaker
three or more feet away from the set.

for the killing of confectioner in Evanston, last
September

yers to impress the jury with tears and the snap
ping of suspenders high priced aienists to prove
that his pineal gland was not in good working
condition. In this extremity he threw himself on
the mercy of the court But the court had no mercy
for a poor colored man and Washington's neck was
broken yesterday morning on the gallows in Cook

Governor Small did not grant the doomed man

There is one kind of justice for a poor black
man and another for white man, particularly
if the white is blessed with a goodly share
of this worlds wealth, whether he inherited that
wealth from his parents or secured it by robbery
with or without gun.

cheaper under christian capitalist government,

The War in Morocco

Inc French are conducting vigorous campaign
to subjugate the natives of Morocco who succeeded
in driving the Spanish army of occupation into the
sea. The French more efficient at the business
of mass slaughter than the Spaniards tho the lat
ter are none the less willing.
The slaughtering of Moroccans has more than
one advantage to the French imperialsts. Not
only does it provide excuse to rob the natives
of more territory, but it also enables the French
to test out their new war tricks This is what the
capitalist press tells us
Scores of British military observers are watch
ing the French operations against the Rifians If
Britain finds anything worth copying in the
methods of the French, she will be glad to use
them against the latter at future date.
While France is making war on the Moroccans,

does not acquire too much territory, tho whether
one Riff ten thousand are killed does not disturb
the bloody handed christians who are so much con-
cerned over Communist propaganda putting chris

The only political organization that has raised
"a voice against the slaughter and robbery of the

WOMEN renew
FIGHT FOR NATL.
CHILD LABOR LAW
Three National Bodies
Pledge Their Support

WASHINGTON May 15-Continued
effort for ratification Of the child labor
amendment was pledged by the Ma
tional Congress of Parents and Teach
ers at their convention held April q
to May at Dallas, Texas.
Similar action was taken by the
National League of Women Voters at
it's convention in Richmond, Virginia,
April 1922.
Similar action was taken by the
American Association of University
Women at it's convention held in In
dianapolis, Ind, April 6-14.
The action taken by these organiza-
tons followed discussion and conven-
ton resolutions stressing the i'm
portance of correcting the misrepres-
entations that have been widely
circulated concerning the amendment,
it's purpose, and it's meaning.
With these three national organiza-
lions of women, whose combined mem
bership runs into the millions, pledg-
ing renewed support to the child labor
amendment, it is predictde that con-
siderable change in public sentiment
concerning the amendment will take
place before the legislatures meet
again. The women leaders insist that
it is only necessary to make clear to
the public the actual facts as to the
conditions of child labor in the states
to secure the necessary cooperation
for remedying the evils.
No Legal Bar to Ultimate Ratification.
Statements to the effect that adj
verse action of state legislatures con-
stituted no legal bar to ultimate rati-
fication of the amendment have been
confirmed during the past week by an
official investigation conducted at the
request of Senator William ]. Harris
Of Georgia, by the legislative refer
ence service of congress. In a detailed
report on the subject the congression-
al legislative experts say:
1. That constitutional amendment
once submitted by congress to the
states for ratification is not subject to
withdrawal or repeal, but remains be-
fore the states until ratified.
2. States which have ratified can
not reverse that action.
3. States which have rejected the
proposal can at any time vote to rati-
fly 1t.

The conference was called by Sur

tetra-cthyl lead IN the exhaust gases
of automobiles is harmless. The bu-

criticised by scientists turnout the
country on the grounds that il was

Efforts to stop the sale of tetra.

workers engaged in it's manufacture
were made by labor last October fol-

At that time the Workers Health Blu

to demand an investigation of the

which labor should be represented.
The conference on May 90 will be
attended by scientists. medical ex-
