HOUSE ORDERS
NAVAL INQUIRY
President Coolidge Plan to Call
New Armament Farley in
1925 is Revealed.

Washington Investigation into
the needs of the navy was decided
upon by the House naval committee
at stormy session. A motion was
adopted to call Secretary Wilbur be-
fore the committee to make such rec
concentrations as he might deem ex-
pedient.
Chairman Butler announced that
during the discussion he had been in
formed unofficially President Coolidge
was hopeful that conference would
be held within year looking to fur
Their naval disarmament
Whenever the time for such a con-
ference is propitious Mr.. Coolidge will
exert his influence to bring 1t about,
it is declared. but at the present
juncture he is unable to determine
when conference might be called
with fair prospects of success.
AS adopted the motion represented
a compromise between those desiring
to take up bill proposing naval
building program and members who
sought to have the committee direct

twisted into the No. "a wire for SUISSE
quent cutting to form the primary and
oscillatory windings. The winding is

wire are in place. Allow six inches OF
wire for future fastening.
Next cut the loop twisted into the
No. "a wire at the thirty-second turn
and carefully unwind the two inner
ends until opposite the small holes pre-
viously drilled for passing through the

carefully followed there should now be
two separate windings of No. "a wire;
one consisting of nine turns and an
other of q. After passing all terminal
wires to their respective positions
fasten them permanently.
Use Low-Loss Condensers.
Condensers Of the low loss variety
should be used, as their efficiency
will more than compensate their higher
cost. By connecting the rotary plates

Simplicity of tuning, elimination of
extraneous noises and minimum num-
Der of tuning controls are what the
radio fan of today is looking for in the
line of receiving sets. The set about
to be described was designed and built
by the writer, and If properly con-
structed will do all these things.
The hookup consists essentially of
an untuned primary circuit, a second
airy circuit shunted by 23-plate (.0005
mfd.) variable condenser and third
circuit is made up of .0005 mid. con-
denser connected In series with coil.
The wiring diagram of this receiver,
which is known as the heteroflex, will
be found accompanying this article. All
parts except the tuning transformer
are IF standard make.
For the details of construction Of
this transformer, known as the hetero-
former, Figs. / and will be self-ex-
planatory. The tubing may be of some
standard material. such as radon. or

inserted, and to break the circuit when
the plug is Withdrawn.
In the new sub-panel method of set
construction the jack should also sup
port the shelf or panel. In the ordl-
nary construction method it can also
be used as brace between the base
board and the front panel
When the phone plug is inserted In
the jack, the headphones are placed
in series with the plate of the last
tube and the positive b battery and
the rest of the circuit through the pri-
mary of the transformer Is cut off.
When the plug is withdrawn the cir
cult is again complete through the pri-
mary of the next transformer.
The jack is then always in the out
put circuit of the tube where the most
current is handled. making 1t important
that the best of insulation be used, AMI
that the contact points, springs, and
dimensions be as exacting as possible.
If the insulating material is faulty
serious leakage of energy will take
place.
The ILLUSTRATION shows jack that
embodies a number of superior points.
The frame Is made of heavy brass,
nickel plated. The heavy metal frame
will remain rigid and will support
sub-panei and lot of apparatus.

BARROW, AIDES GET $4,000
Counsel Agree on Fee Offered by
Families.


Chicago = The lawyers who saved
Richard Loeb and Nathan Leopold,
Jr., from the gallows when they plead
ed guilty to kidnapping and killing
Robert Franks, will receive $4,000
for their services, it became known.
Clarence Darrow, veteran criminal
lawyer, and Benjamin and Walter
Bachrach, brothers, share in the fee,
though the proportion of division has
not been made public.
The lawyers, it is stated, asked for
100000 at the conclusion of the
trial, and, though the Leopold family
made no objection, the Loeb family
thought the amount excessive. After
some discussion the 100000 was
agreed upon.
Mr. barrow, in Denver visiting his
son, said an agreement had been
reached which he would submit to
the Chicago Bar association in &C
cordance with the original plan that
the association would fix the amount.

Socket Mounting Plan
Will Eliminate Noises

Dry cell tubes, such as the UV199
and the WD12, are often very sensi-
tive to shocks and Jars. and as re-
suit loud ringing noises are heard in
the earphones or loud speaker. To OBJ
viate this trouble the tube sockets
need only be mounted on some absorb
ent material like sponge rubber. The
connections to the binding posts should
then be made with flexible wire. as
ordinary stiff bus bar acts as a con-
dgctor of the disturbances too well.

Switch Blade Stop

An excellent switch stop can be
made from an ordinary soldering Ing.
These may be procured either In plain
copper finish or timed. The timed

nickel-plated switch points. Cut the

Tugs and place the lug underneath the

and bend the lug arm up. 1t will pro-
trnde just far enough above the point.

When Using Loop Antenna

To get good results out of a loop
antenna set should be used that is
designed especially for this purpose.
Such receiver contains from one to
three or more stages of radio-f frequency
amplification. For loud speaker oper-
alton, then. at least four or five tubes
should be used, unless the receiver is
of the reflex variety. in which the
tubes do double duty.

delay. They point out in a circular
issued that veterans entitled to the
maximum will receive an insurance
policy of the 20-year endowment plan
with face value of approximately

done so to make their application for

BURKE ASKS THAT
 HE BEEXONERATED
Denies Any Fraud in Indian
 Affairs Management

Washington, Jan. 23.-Charles H. Burke, commissioner of Indian af- fairs today formally requested a sub committee of the house Indian af- fairs committee to dismiss it's in- uuiry into charges of maladministra- ton of his office.
 Burke contended that the charges, made by Hugh L. Murphy, former judge of Okmulgee county, Okla
 homa, had not been sustained. The
 inquiry centered upon conditions in
 Oklahoma and the evidence present.
 ed at lengthy hearings has involved
 settlement through the Indian office
 of the estates of Saber and Martha
 Jackson, wealthy restricted Indians
 of that state.
 In his request Burke referred both to Murphy and to George NJ. Swift,
 an attorney of Okmulgee county,
 Oklahoma, as the complainants. He
 asserted that:
 { The charges upon which this in- Ivestigation is based were conceived
 by George NJ. Swift, with an iniqui-
 tous and malignantdesign to injure i the commissioner of Indian affairs, prompted by spirit of hatred and revenge because of the refusal of the department (of the interior), to al-
 low his claim for large fees that he was not entitled to receive from the estates of two full-blood restricted Indians.
 'That Murphy, who signed the l charges, was the willing tool of , George NJ. Swift. having no personal Knowledge of the facts to which he made affidavit and was used by Swift only because for a short per, iod he (Murphy) had been a county
 judge.
