The wage cutter is the skeleton in
the close,-the ghost of commercial
ism which cuts the throat of business.
Major industries looking for big
profits in 1925 can do no worse thing
than to begin 10 slash wages of en-
ployees, as some Of them in the east
are doing, notably the New England
textile employers.
1t is foregone conclusion that re
duced wages means reduced buying
power. Union men whose wages are
cut will in turn cut the merchant
and the much dreamed Of prosperity
will be nipped in the bud. There can
be no genuine prosperity without
good wages.

years to produce a population of
$50 100000, as recorded in 1900. 1t
took the race exactly 100 years to

q problem? Is it going to be as easy
to feed double the population Of
America within another 100 years -?

Undoubtedly increased cost of pro-
duction. Food, clothing and shelter
are probably as cheap as they ever
will be anywhere in the world. The
future problem will be to procure
money enough to buy the necessities
Of life, and the condition is coming
much more rapidly than students of
economic conditions think.

Samuel Gompefs Wa an American
in the full and complete sense Of that
term. lie was a typical American.
the complete, finished product Of
those refining processes out Of which
American citizens are made. His
loyalty and devotion to America and
American institutions could not be
questioned. There is no mathematical
process by which his Americanism
could be measured. His Americanism
was not of the percentage variety. l.
was all-embracing. 1t was as broad
as the universe, a immeasurable as
eternity ana a. deep and high as in
finite space. True, he denounced in
justice, wrong and unffeedOm wher-
ever ii manifested itself. To him
wrong was wrong, unffeedom was IN
freedom and injustice was injustice
neither existing in either our ma
Guual, economic OF industrial life.
But IN the correction Of wrong and in
the promotion Of right he advocated
the application OF constructive meas

virtue If American processes and in
the application Of the American for

dustrial and economic ills.
His sturdy Amerieanism, his lofty
patriotism and his love for America
and American Institutions, as eXem-
pitied during his busy aud useful life,
are a challenge t. those who question
the refining power and influence OF
Americas melting pot to develop and
produce a while, sturdy American
citizenship of the highest and best

No. 44-Tuning Different Sets.

1t there was any static the other
night Smith wasn't troubled by it,.
AS matter of fact, nothing on the
air disturbed him because he wasn't
getting anything at all.
He had sent his good set back to
the dealer for a little service work
which he expected would not only
improve the set, but lengthen its life.
Not to be deprived of an evening 8
entertainment, he had brought Smith
Juniors set into the living room.
hooked it to his aerial and ground and
tried his luck.
To his great amaZement he seemed
unable to get any results from the
set. Yet he had frequently heard the
set in operation while his own was
going. 1t was a set Smith Junior had
built with the aid of 81 neighbor. and
Smith had not previously had an OPP
portunlty to tune IL.
According to his account of the SIT
uation, he had taken care To use dry
batteries for the filament circuit in
stead of the storage battery which ne
used with his regular set. And he
had applied the proper potential to
The detector. But beyond that he APP
peared to have used very little judS-
ment.

Smith was sure this description
covered the set in question.
Well, then. your trouble was that
you did not operate both dials stimuli
taneously. That is the trick in tun-
ing this particular type. One dial op-
crates the tuner. while the other
operates the ticker ard lnteasifies

should be pleased to know that the
Department of Commerce radio Off
Gals actually try to police the air and
have offenders who interfere with
broadcast reception punished.
The actual punishment, however,
really lies with the courts of Justice
which prosecute cases properly pre-
sented by the radio supervisors. In
a recent case an unlicensed amateur
named Roger NJ. Daugherty of Day
ton. Ohio, who operated a set illegally
with false call. interfering with
radio service. and, of course. broadcast
reception. by broadcasting photograph
records on wave lengths $40 and 400
meters, was sent to court and fined
s25 by Judge Hough. Furthermore,
he was sentenced to remain in jail
until he paid his fine, which he did
quite promptly.
This amateur might have secured a
proper license to operate on specified
wave lengths below the broadcast band
and enjoyed his radio experiments by
communicating with other amateurs.
but he ignored the Federal laws,
broadcasting when and as he pleased.
The result was that he caused hun
dreds of complaints to be filed with
the Government inspectors by indig.
nant broadcast listeners from miles
around. His broadcasts even inter
fered with reception Of stations out
side Ohio, thus becoming an interstate
offense. AS far as can be determined,
he has been on the air about two
years. during which time Supervisor
Edwards of the eighth district and his
inspectors have been trying to locate
his transmitter and catch him operat-
ing it. Eventually, however, they did
so. Although 1t was nominal fine,
the supervisor believes that the lesson
and the example will be as beneficial
to the radio service as If he had been

RADIO GOSSIP AND NEWS

A new field for bored broadcast lis
tenerS in now open in the short-wave
lengths, provided the fan owns or is
able to build himself a good short
wave receiver. When WGY at
Schenectady is broadcas sting on it's
regular 3S9meter channel it often
broadcasts also on Ass and 103
large number of fans equipped to re-
ceiye on this channel
Forty-one- meter reception was re-
Gently reported from Fort Leaven-
worth, Kans., where an Army officer
has perfected d wirerelay system
carrying the tones Of his loud speak
err to 1872 homes.
Distant reception of this set is also
frequently acknowledged to the gen.
eral electrical engineers. An anna
teur named Warn in Auckland, New
Zealand. reports that he held WGY
broadcasts on this wave for half an
hour in bright daylight. Another fan
in Lincolnshire. England. says he gets
WGY's short-wave on the loud speak
err every time he tries. According to
statements from WGT. these short
waves seem to carry we'll to great
distances and to all quarters of the
globe.
EXperimentally inclined fans who
broadcast sets and programs should
build short-wave sets and seize this
opportunity to explore the lower
bands, or the higher channels. If they

,utrodyne. and Browns super.het is

neutrodyne. and Browns super-het is
even simpler" he argued.
I offered by way of explanation
that simplicity in controls usually
goes with better sets. Even the older
superheterodyne receivers with their
two control dials are comparatively
simple. One dial operates the tuner.
or station selector, while the other Is
the heterodyne control. The same
station will often come in at several
points on each dial.
In order to stress a point in tuning
told Smith of the three-circuit re-
generative receiver which has three
knobs. One control selects the sta
tons. the second tunes the tube cir
cult, while the third handles the re-
genera ton feature of the set. In
order to avoid disturbing the neigh
bors with radiation it Is necessary to
know beforehand, either through ac-
tual testing or by following the man.
ufacturer's chart, where to set the
tube circuit control. When this is
known the regeneration knob is twirl-
ed until a kissing is heard as the Sc
lector knob is turned.
Your neutrodyne appears very sim
liar to this I added, coming to the
real point involved. but the tuning
is as different as the circuit. Inside
the lid of your set there is a chart
which celebrates the setting for the
second or middle dial. according to
the different wave lengths. The dial
to the right Is usually set at about
the same position. while best results
will be had by turning the left dial
back a few degrees. 1t is quite sim.
lied. and. what's more. you can't in
terfere with your neighbors.
Adjustments Critical.
In most sets. other than the high
class circuits, it is necessary to sta
billie the receiver SO as to prevent it
from bursting out into bowls. The
adjustments are critical because the
best performance is usually just be-
fore the bowling point is reached. In
one set with two stages OF radio fire.
quency amplfication there is one dial
for the tuning, according to wave
lengths. and smaller knob to con-
troll a potientiometer. which. in this
of set is most conveniently used with
a loop which should be pointed toward
the station desired. Then the station
selector dial is turned to the correct
point. The rheostats for the fila
ments are, of course. turned up. Then
if the the set becomes unstable the
stabilizer dial is turned slightly until
reception is normal again.
That was only a tenth of the story
of tuning. but Smith found that it
solved his particular problem. He re-
allied that he could not operate a
radio set effectively merely by twist
ing the dials any more than one could
run an automobile by knowing merely
how to switch on the ignition
