According to Adam Stein, Jr, man
aging engineer Of the radio depart
ment, General Electric Company, THE
ultimate object of tests in the use of
superpover In radio broadcasting is,
Of course, an appreciable improvement
In the service to broadcast listeners"
This laboratory" said Mr.. Stein,
Is designed to permit q thorough
study Of radio transmission In general,
and Broadcast transmission in par
dculaf. The laboratory provides
equipment for obtaining the transmits
sion characteristics Of w~ave-engths
between Eve meters and 5000 meters,
and up to powers Of 100 kilowatts.
IN addition, there has been provided
sumcient antenna structures so that
the best type Of ~antennas or radiators
can be determined for the various
wavelengths.

provide increased energy at a receiv.
ing station. hui raising the level Of
the signal above that Of the noise.
This should. to some extent, tend to
decrease the effect of static and
other disturbances.
Second. the use Of high power at
the transmitting station may appre-
ciably decrease the extern to which
fading at present interferes with 70
cepton. The extent to which super
power may help fading is stin one
Of the unknown facts, and one Of the
problems which It is the purpose Of
these tests to determine.
Third, the effect of s~uperpower Is
to increase the range Of the trans
mitter SO that the program can be
satisfactorily received over a greater
area, and hence provide better serv-
ice both day and night" .

BANKERS HELP

The banks of Linn County Oregon,
are showing more enthusiasm han
eve this yea in behalf of a county
corr exhibit similar to that held last
year at the Linn County Fair. Last
years exhibit was the result OF a con-
test for a prize offered by a number
Of local banks. This was so success
full that this year ten out Of the eleven
banks in the county will subscribe to
the effort.
The Agricultural Committee Of the
Alabama Bankers Association has
recommended hat a scholarship fund
be established for the education Of
worthy young men and ONE along
agricultural and home economics
lines. 1t Is estimated that II each
bank in the state were TO contribute
rs cents per thousand capital, I'VE to
six thousand dollars Per annum would
be realized.
The Agricultural Committee Of the
Oklahoma Bankers Association, in its
report. recommends that the bankers
see that a competent agent is appoint
ed In each county and hat he has a
degree from some agricultural col
lege. They believe that the agrlcul-
tural possibilities of the state should
be better advertised and that each
county bankers association should do
some work along that line.
Searcy County Bankers Association.
Arkansas. entertained as its guests
recently some seventy-lve farmers
and business men. The result was the
organization of the North Central Ar
kansas Agricultural Association. Its
purpose will be to coordinate the ef-
forts OF the farmers and business men
in promoting a better agriculture.
Searcy County bankers are giving 100
settings OF purebred eggs for distribu-
ton to the boys and girls clubs in

SCHUYLER MERRITT SOUNDS
 TOCSIS OF TRUTH

The address of Schuyler Merritt in Bridgeport, in which he criti- eized the Connecticut legislature Of cized the Connecticut legislature for cities, was entirely to the point. We have repeatedly mentioned this phenomenon and are glad to note that g congressman Of parts has taken up the cudgeis for A more safe and sane and common sense home rule.
 Bridgeport, the congressman de- elared, is capable of managing its own affairs, and is capable of pull ing out of any difficulties 1t may get Into or be forced into-with- our the aid Of Hartford politicians.
 After attempting to dictate the composition Of the city court al Stamford, interfering with the edu- cational system in New Haven. and modifying the economic structure in Bridgeport, the Legislature began pecking at Waterbury, endeavoring to meddle in the appointment, sal ary and tenure of the superinten- dent Of schools This has gone about far enough: it has gone consider ably too far, in fact, and 1t Is time that citizens took note of the situa- ton and remedied it,
 If Connecticut Is to be sort of county, instead Of state. with Hartford as d sort of county seat instead of a state capital, ana the remainder of cities in the state to hold the same relation to the Legis- lature as towns hold to counties in some states. the situation would be logical in theory but this Is not the case. The let-alone policy needs to be cultivated in the Legislature and that body ought to have enough state affairs to keep it busy instead Of running the internal business of the cities and towns.
 Connecticut has quite reputation for avoiding constitutional amend ments, and is credited with insisting in these later days upon state'' rights and it would be a good plar to inculcate some Of the home rule plan right in the state.

GENERAL sIANGIN'S WAR RECORD

Death of General Charles Mangln, French hero Of Verlun, removes one of the Allied commanders who had contributed a goodly share to the victory of French arms over Germany.
 The Mangin victory at Nerdun was electrifying In effect When the Crown Princes Deaths Heads had made a superhuman effort to seize yerdun and had captured Fort Douaumont, it looked as if there was nothing to prevent the great series of forts from falling into Ger man hands. It was then that the counter offensive of General Man gin turned the tide. Had the Ger mans succeeded in taking Nerdun The course Of the war might have nacn greatly to the disadvantage oi the French in the succeeding years
 The costly victory on the Aisne ln 1qi7 when large numbers of Arr can troops under General Mangln won doubtful victory by being thrown against strong German de- lenses. led to a controversy that required the final arbitramcnt of Clemorcpau to settle. The "Tlgor' settled the controversy in favor Of General Mangin,
 General Mangin was warrior ol tho old school rigorous military commander, who having decided upon a mode Of tactics, permitted nothing to stop him from attaining his end. His worst fault was lack of caution - but there are times in var when the cautious commander loses and the incautions chi@tiain surveys the field in victory.
