Radio Batteries

BY e. N. RAULAND

Much confusion exists In the miAds
OF radio fans as to batteries, and 1t II
believed that the classification Of types
and functions will be helpful alike to
the novice and to many experienced
set builders.
The three elements of the common
vacuum tube, filament, plate and grid,
are often designated respectively BY
the letters A, B, G. The order in which
the letters are assigned corresponds
to the historical development of the
tube. The heated f1ament Is com
paratively an old device, and the bat
terry which lights 1t is known as the
filament battery or "A" battery. The
plate was the second element to 10

gardens for maintenance and perpetu-

Stanford was established require that
each unit shall have its individual

at work making the necessary financial

1t Is not stated how much Burbank

reported, however, that he turns them
over at half their full valuation, the
figures to be fixed by friendly COM

interests made offers of 100000, Of
$4,000 and of $25O,OO0 and that Bur
bank refused them, on the ground that
he was unwilling to "commercialize"

said that several mid-western and
eastern colleges were DESTROYS of pur-
chasing. These Burbank eliminated
as being too far away.

quart of light oil and turn the en-

do no harm. On the other hand
there is a possibility that it will

After the engine has been cleaned
in this way, draw off the light oil,
and while the drain cocks are still
open turn the engine over two or
three times in order to drive the
light oil from the system. Clean
the pump strainer, if there is one,
and then put in a good grade of oil.

Con,titution And Booze.

Arthur Brisbane defines a good
american as one, regardless of his
religion or lack of religion, who
works for a living, respects the
constitution, obeys the laws, recog-
lizes the government of the United
States as the supreme power under
heaven, and refrains from interfer
ing with the rights of other Ameri-
cans as set forth in the constitution,
free speech, free thought, free
newspapers, free religion and COM
plete separation of church and
state"
All Americans will accept the de-
finition as true one, but the rub
comes in applying it.
Nicholas Murray Butler, president
of Columbia university, probably
would agree with this view, yet he is
bitterly opposed to the eighteenth
amendment, which was added to the
constitution in the regular way the
constitution provides And he doubt
less things he respects the consti-
tuition" though he attacks it in pu-
bile address whenever the occasion
presents itself
DR.. w. P. bearing, president of
the Indiana State Teachers Assoc
citation, also would approve this de-
finition, but he is dramatically OPP
posed to DR.. Buffers stand regard
ing the eighteenth amendment.
He addressed an open letter to
DR.. Butler, concluding with this par
agraph, I'm the name of American
liberty, which accepts personal lin
| itation for the sake Of the public
good, Indiana sends its protest to
foreign New York with its European
personal liberty which says, the
public and the American constitu-
ton be damned want my booze. "
Thus, what constitutes personal
/ liberty will always be in dispute
Our school of thinkers believes the
constitution has no limitations
where their personal liberties are
concerned, but would apply the
screws numerically on the person
al liberties of those who disagree.
The modern construction placed
upon personal liberty" is that an
individual may go as far as he hikes
if what he does is not detrimental
to the common good and does not
infringe upon the rights of other IN
dividuals.
Intoxicating liquor was outlawed
with the passage of the eighteenth
amendment because it is recognized
as harmful and as having an evil
4 influence on society. If all the men
and women who want liquor licensed
again, could drink it without inter
fering with the personal liberty
Of others, there would be no obJec-
ton, but they can't. And for that
reason booze will continue to re-
main an outlaw.-Ex.

BENEFITS OF COMPETITION

Forty-two of our states have work
mems compensation laws. In &c OF
these, the insurance is carried solely
by private companies. In nine. the
state has set up a competitive fund.
In seven, private companies are not
allowed to operate because the state
government takes over practically all
of the business.
1T is a matter of record" says
the Illinois Journal of Commerce,
that in the nine states where the
state government enters into active
competition with the private insur-
ance companies in providing work
mems compensation insurance, the
average of the total business handled
by the state is only 14.69 per cent,
, 1925-04-09

while the private companies do S5.31
per cent of the business. In New
York, with a total in premiums writ
ten by both state and private COM
panies amounting to about $4,000
900, the private companies handle
92.2 per cent of the business.
State funds pay no taxes. This is
in striking contrast to the immense
sums paid in state and federal taxes
by private companies.
Private companies employ staffs
of experts to handle their business.
These men are chosen because of
their efficiency and not because of
any political utilization. On the
other hand, where the state is in
business, appointments are often
made through political influence,
rather than because of ability.

Disastrous Fire
Mammoth Springs
Yellowstone Park

LIVINGSTON, MONT, MAR. 81
Swept by the most disastrous fire in
its history, the little town of Nam
moth Hot Springs, in Yellowstone
National Park, today took toll of the
damage wrought yesterday when
flames, famed by a mountain breeze
Quilted it's main place of industry and
threatened to destroy a portion of
the town.
The damage early today had been
estimated at approximately $500, 600.
The plant of the Yellowstone Park
transportation company and eighty
eight passenger buses stored in it
were a charred mass of ruins. A
machine shop, paint shop and a re
pair shop were destroyed.
Volunteer fire fighters, handicap
ped by lack of facilities and water,
fought the flames for more than an
hour. They were aided by a sudden
shift in the wind when the blaze was
spreading dangerously near to the old
Fort Yellowstone Barracks, and the
historic structure was spared
Residents of the community were
concerned today as to what steps the
transportation company would take
in restoring its properties, their
source of employment in the winter
months between park JASON The
fire will not interfere with park
travel, according to officials.
The homes of F.. E. Kammerer, SUI
perintendent of the transportation
company, and w. S. Drew, a painter,
were destroyed. Rescuers carried the
invalid mother of Mrs. Drew through
a window to safety when flames en-
veloped the structure. About twenty
men composed the fire fighting squad
which quelled the flames. Several
suffered minor burns but none was
hurt seriously.
Explosion Of an oil furnace in a
blacksmith shop is believed to have
started the fire.

"The thinking motor car buyer
must ask himself, what is behind
this success. My opinion is that
Hudson-Essex do not emphasize any
one feature of their cars, but make
every attempt to build in all-around
value. The public asks for reliable
transportation at the right standard
of prices. Month after month it is
this type Of buying which has kept
Hudson-Essex in a position of unin-
terrupted sales leadership and public
demand.
April will be the largest month
we yer have known. The last few
days have shown a sharp upward
trend in demand-the first sign Of
the spring rush. The greatest num-
Der of inquiries is for coaches-and

HUDSON-ESSEX FACTORY
BUILDING 1000 CARS DAY

One thousand cars a day-the big
gest six cylinder business in the
automobile industry-are now being
built in the Hudson-Essex factories
in Detroit, according to word received
by the Lincoln Highway Garage, Hud-
son-Essex dealer.
Ninety per cen of this immense
business is in the popular Hudson
Essex coaches, it was declared The
coach type of body was originated
by the Hudson organization three
years ago, and this concern now
has had the experience of building
nearly a quarter of a million Of them.
This great volume of business
which has brought Hudson-Essex in
to an indisputable six cylinder leader
ship for the whole industry" said Mr..
| e. Sundin ''has been a steady growth
over a period in which the coach has
been built. There probably has
never been a single body type in the
has had such a phenomenal success.
Now the popularity has become
such that Hudson-Essex is the big
gest builder of six cylinder cars in
the world. When you consider that
some automobile men tried to ridi-
Guile the coach when it was first in
troduced, the success of Hudson
Essex must be considered a most re-
mark3ble one. This spring there
will undoubtedly be a shortage OF
these popular cars, because our win
