BELGIAN VOTING \. N0T EXCITING
Few Changes Expected by To-
 mOrroW's Elections
By Tn. ssoclated Press

By The Associated Press
 Brussels. April 4.--Tomorrow's parliamentary elections seem to promise only few changes as re- gards the composition of the cham- Der, of representatives and the sen- ate. but there will be a new gov- ernment for Premier Theunis. Several of his ministers arc deter- mined to leave power and the cabi- net has announced its intention to , resign Sunday night whe the elec- tios are over.
 The Catholics who had seventy seven seats in the chamber and seventy-three in the senate, and the liberals. who had thirty-three in the chamber and thirty in the sen- ate, generally are expected to be re- turned to power, although there is some threat of strong gains by tho Flemish extremeists. t
 The chamber. which at present numbers 1s6 seats. will add one deputy. as Eupen and Malmedy re- covered from Germany, will be rep- resented for the first time. Tho senate has 153 members. t,
 As the campaign has been dull, 1t is not expected that more, than half a dozen seats will change hands. It is considered likely. however. that the socialists will lose many votes to the communists, but without af- fecting the election of deputies.
 The prospect of the return to power of the present Catholic Liberal coalition is based on the fact that this combination poiied 1,125,- 900 votes in 1921 against so4,00 by all the other parties, coupled with the general belief that there will be no great changes. t.

LADY ASTOR HAS CAUSED TROUBLE
Her Argument With LabOrite
 Raises Much Dust
nv rh, As.ocIated Prcss

Fly Ths Asboelateu fFtSs
 London, April 4.-Quite a little dust appears to have been raised In parliamentary circles by the wordy combat between Lady Astor and the Nottingham laborite, A. Hayday, in the house Of commons yesterday
 The woman member, speaking on Inc Childron's bin, declared that she hated the assumption that the working mother is any different than any other mother" When IIayday interrupted with the remark that she could read about society women nursing puppy dogs when they ought 10 be paying more attention to hu- man beings" her anger was aroused and she made a statement about lIaYday that drew reproot from the speaker,
 She said that if she told the house all she knew about Hayday it would have something to think about and that if she spoke of the company he kept it would not redount to the credit of MT. Hayday or the labor party,
 Nobody seems to be able to har- monize these words of Lady Astor with the explanation she made later, that she intended no sinister impli- cation in her reference to Mir. Hay days personal affairs; that all she had in mind was his attitude toward the drink question, nothing more.
 Referring to this explanation. Mir. Hayday said: My attitude on the drink question is that I am an anti prohlbitionist. Lady Astor may ob- iect to this, but she has no right to make innuendos of any kind"
 There the matter rests for the mo- ment, awaiting the converting of the commons on Monday, Hayday having given notice that he will raise the question at that time.

The Herald was constantly called on the telephone last night by It's readers inqulring about the Chap man case. over 1000 calls were an- swered by the reporters and in each case the answer from this end was that the jury was still out. AS the evening wore on the answer, when the phone rang, was simply They're still out" which was further slmpli' fed later by still out" and in most every case the person on the other end of the wire knew at once that all unnecessary conversation was eliminated.

.SOV|ETS TO CUT
 CAPITAL LEVY
Finance Minister Instructed to
 Lower Rate

Moscow, April 4. - The official Rosta agency announced today that the government has instructed the finance commissariat to prepare bill immediately reducing taxation on private capital. At the same time the government will take steps to strengthen the position of National commercial firms and promote the activities of cooperative organiza- tions. Ten million rubles is proyid- ed in the budget for this purpose.
 This announcement by the Rosta agency is in line with the decisions taken by the council of labor and defense, as made known In dis patch from Moscow Friday night, enamely, that present restrictions re- garding the sale of goods to private concerns by state trusts and cooper ative organizations be removed and taxes on private traders greatly re- duced. In introducing the reforms considered the most important and far-reaching since Lenine inaugural ed his so-called new economic policy, NJ. Kamenef, acting premier of Soviet Russia, said:
 At the present juncture the trade desert which exists in certain regions of the soviet union is more harmful and dangerous to the economic structure of the socialistic state than private capitalists"
 The reforms were introduced on the initiative Of the supreme econ- omic council.

Use the Proper Amount of Battery
Voltage.

Use the Proper Amount of Battery
Voltage.
Most fans will shop around quite
a bit before they buy all their radio
parts, so as to get the benefit of the
lowest prices on the market and re-
duce the initial cost of their set to a
minimum. Once the set is installed
and in operation, however, very few
of them take any particular pains to
find 'out whether they are operating
1t economically.
Now, operating a set economically
does not mean buying bootleg or re-
conditioned tubes, cheap batteries or
anything of that kind. The main item
of expense in the operation of a radio
set is the cost of supplying or re-
charging batteries used for filament
lighting and plate current supply.
Burning tubes brighter than is nee
essary for good reception is privi-
lege that can be enjoyed only by those
who have plenty of money to spend
for tubes and batteries.
Strain on Tubes.
In the first place burning the fla
ments of your tubes at greater heat
than is necessary reduces the useful
life of the tubes and in a very short
time the efficiency of the set will be
reduced without your being able to
locate the trouble. In many such
cases the trouble may be located in
one or more tubes which have lost
their pep" through improper opera
ton at high temperatures.
In operating your set turn on your
rheostat as little as possible consist
ent with good reception. Such pro-
cedure will give you a little less vol
ume, but you certainly will get more
wear" for your money.
Another result of burning tubes at
high brilliancy is an increased drain
on the b batteries.
Hint on Battery Economy.
If you find that your batteries are
not lasting you as much as they
should, You had better check up on
your method of operating your set.
The fault may lie in the fact that you
burn your tube filamentS at too high
a temperature, causing an increase in
the electronic emission from the fila
ment and consequent increase in the
amount of current flowing in the plate
circuits of the receiver. with the in
evitable lessening of battery life.
Some fans know that the use of a G
battery is necessary when more than
40 volts of B battery is used in the
plate circuit. The use of c battery
is usually associated with the elimt-
nation OF distortion in amplifier
stages.
The G battery, however, serves an
other very useful purpose. 1t serves
to limit the normal plate current TO a
lower part of the characteristic curve,
and thus reduces the amount of
normal current flowing in the plate

The power limit of 500 watts for
class y stations is to be abandoned
during the Summer months by the
Department of Commerce.
Upon applying for a class B license
and at the same time requesting an
increase of power, class A stations
will be allowed 10 climb up the super
power scale in the same manner in
which class L stations have been per-

class B length is vacated or a new
system of ALLEGATION is authorized by
the department.

circuit, thereby lessening the drain on
the B battery.
This Iessening Of the normal plate
curront does not mean that signal
strength is lessened. AS a matter of
fact, the signal strength is usually
increased by its use. The reason for
this apparently contradicting set of
conditions lies in the fact that the
tube functions best as an amplifier
when 1t is operated on the straight
portion of its characteristic curve, Il
condition that is obtained by the use
OF a & battery. When operated high
er up on the curve 1t begins to act to
some extent as a detector at the same
time that the normal plate current is
Increased.
If you use more than 80 volts B bat
terry for very loud signals, you should
Increase your G battery voltage up TO
10 to volts, according to the amount

rect amount of G battery to use is

Chance for Short Circuit,

there Is a chance that a short circuit
may occur through the grounded cir.
cuits or the receiver. The antenna
circuit Is, of course, insulated from the
ground, and if you connect 5-mfd
condenser in series with the ground
lead your whole set will be insulated
so that you will not have to disconnect
the batteries while you are charging
them. The condenser will not affect
