Just a few years ago when radio
began to tighten it's grip on Wash

arose in connection with reception,

however, soon became inactive, ap-
parently because of the lack of suf-

ROSE MARIE TUNES'
REMOVED FROM AIR
Composers, Authors and
Publishers Study Plan to
Silence Other Works.
BY Consolidated Press.

BY Consolidated Press.
NEW YORK. February 2S.-Radio
has placed a new problem before the
American Society of Composers, Au-
thors and Publishers.
Recently the society established a
precedent in taking the Rose Marie
music off the air at the request of
the owner. Inquiry at the society's
headquarters today disclosed that the
Rose Marie" tunes have been sue
cessfully silenced at all the licensed
broadcasting stations. Four Chicago
broadcasters who persisted in trans
hitting the music after the ban. it
was said, have agreed to lay Off.
Now the question has been raised
as to whether the hushing up policy
is to be permitted to extend through
oUS the entire body of society mem
berS. ]. c. Rosenthal, general man
sger of the organization. is inclined
to think il will not, but he said the
matter is under consideration.
Many members are known TO hold
decided views about the dubious ben
efits To be derived by composers from
the broadcasting of their numbers.
'Judicious handling of new song
hits by the program directors is the
only policy which will ever enable
the broadcaster and the composer TO
benefit together from radio" Rosen-
thai said. New tunes are being
killed every day by being overplayed
and oversung-an the writer is the
one who loses"
II the program director handles his
musical programs skillfully, he added,
this fault can be corrected.

field is coming from the left, as shown
by the large arrow in each case.
These diagrams show the extreme
positions Of a loop and intermediate
position as ii is turned about a Verti
cal axis
You will notice that as the loop is
turned about its vertical axis from
the position shown in Fig. l to the
position shown in Fig. 8 the relative
distance of the vertical portions be-
hind each other decreases with re-
spect to the direction in which the
wave is travelling.
The distance is greatest in Fig. /
and least in Fig. 3.
Actions in the Loop.
Now let US consider what happens
a s far a. the current which is caused
to flow in the loop is concerned. In
Fig. l a wave is shown being inter-
cepted by the vertical portions of the
coil. Since there is a distance between
the two vertical portions, different
portions of the wave are intercepted
by the two vertical portions at the
same instant. OF course, the wave
form has been greatly exaggerated
in order to make the point clear, but
this does not alter the fundamental
idea which governs the action. AS a
matter of fact, all that we need con-
slider is the relative action that takes
place in the case shown in tho dia-
grams.
In Fig. . the vertical portions are
relatively closer to each other because
the loop has been rotated through an
angle Of As degrees. Since a smaller
portion of the wave is included be-
tween the two vertical portions, the
potential difference between the por-
tiORs of the wave included between
the two wires is less than that in
cluded between the two wires in the
case shown iagrammatically in Fig. l.
Therefore the current obtained by
the passage of the same wave is less
when the loop is turned through an
angle of As degrees.
The Intercepted Wave.
When the loop is turned through an
angle of 80 degrees, as shown in Fig.
3, the plane of the loop is at right
angles to the direction of travel OF
the wave. Then both wires intercept
the same portion of the wave at the
same time, causing equal currents to
flow in each portion. When the ends
of the vertical portions are connected
together these equal currents will be
flowing in opposite directions and will

reutralize each other so that no cur
rent will flow in the winding.
If the wave is from broadcasting e
station the greatest response will be
heard in the receiver when the posi-
tion of the loop with respect to the
broadcasting station is as shown in
Fig. l, with the edge of the loop
pointing in the direction of the sta
ton. AS the loop is turned from the
position shown in Fig. ! toward the
position shown in Fig. 3 the signal
from the station becomes weaker and
weaker and reaches a minimum when
the position of the loop is as shown
in Fig. 3.
This is the action which gives the
loop its directional characteristics,
enabling one to cut down Interference
from undesired broadcast stations,
from static disturbances and from
"squealing" sets

PROSPECTING ON HOMESTEAD
GRAZING LANDS

The stock raising homestead act
which was passed in 1915 made avail
able lands that were of little value
except for prospecting. After being
homesteaded, although the mineral
rights are reserved, the prospector
who wishes to prospect on the land
must first get the written consent of
the entryman, or patentee, and is
subject to damages to crops, agricul-
culture, lands and improvements and
must file bond to ensure payment
for any such damages that may ac-
crue to the entryman, or his herds,
stock, etc. The prospector cannot use
or appropriate any water from water
holes on the homestead and they are
exempt from appropriation by any
mining locators. Tho one mine is
worth many homesteads, these re-
strictions naturally obstruct prospect
ing on lands taken UP for grazing
homest6ads and the feasible way to
obtain the right to prospect or work
mine on a homestead would be to
purchase it outright.

The drift in the Katharine mine on

vein of $100 ore for it's full width.
This ore is cut in the cross-cut, but
no drifting had been done along the
vein. Work is being done to get the
slopes in shape for output as soon as
the mill is in shape to receive pro-
duction.
The vein throughout this area has
been cut from wall to wall every so
