STOCKS ARE HIGHER
IN BRIEF SESSION
Gasoline Report Lifts Oil
Shares-SteeIs, Motors
and Industrials Up.
By the Associated Press.


NEW YORK. August stock
prices displayed a strong undertone
in today's brief and quiet session of
the market. The appearance Of strong
buying support for many of the popu-
lar steels, motors. oils and other stand
ard industrials resulted in a virtual
cessation of professional selling pres
sure, net gains OF ! to 3 points being
scattered throughout the list at the
close.
Trade Reports Good
Operators for the rise derived en-
couragement from the cheerful tenor
of the weekly mercantile reviews and
encouraging trade reports from the
basic industries. One Of the most cor
structive developments of the day was
the publication of a Government re-
port showing that gasoline consunp-
tfon in June was 81 per cent above
that of year ago and that despite
record breaking production of crude
oil in that month. there had been q
substantial reduction Of gasoline
stocks in storage
bullish Interpretation also was
placed upon the apparent avoida nee Of
a British coal strike.
Steel Crosses 118.
Standard industrials received good
support. United States Steel common
crossed 118 for a small fractional gain
on the day; American Can moved up
nearly 2 points to 2093s. and Baldwin
advanced slightly to 113L.
Pool operations were again in evi-
dence. New York Gamers was bid UP
3 points to new 1925 high, at Sly

Some of the other outstanding In.
dustrial strong spots were American
Ice, Brunswick Bake Collender Co.
Chicago Pneumatic Tool, Dupont, Gen
eral Baking, General Electric, Mack
Trucks, Montgomery Ward, Stand
ard Gas and Electric and Stewart
Warner, all of which showed net
gains of Ia to nearly points.
Commercial solvents issues reacted
sharply on a small turnover. and
heaviness also was noted In Brown
Shoe, Mathieson Alkali, May Depart
ment Stores, Otis Steel preferred and
Midland steel products preferred.
Southern Railway Gains.
Rails continued to respond to re
ports of unusually favorable June
earnings. Southern Railway moved up
nearly points to par, and good gains
were also recorded by Atlantic Coast
Line. Seaboard Air Line and Frisco
common.
Foreign exchanges were quiet, but
firm. Demand sterling ruled slightly
higher around S4.85% and. French
francs were quoted at just below Ats

steady.

No. 81: Circuiting the Circuits.

Sometimes 1 think that Smith de-
rives more pleasure from trying to
solve the riddles of radio than he
does from the concerts that come in
over the air. The other night I found
him with half-dozen diagrams spread
out over the table, studiously tracing
circuits with his finger.
II think I've got a short circuit in
my BRAIN" he announced. I've been
trying to classify these circuits for
the past two hours, and I'm just
where / started"
1t appears that Smith had dis
covered how confusing 1t Is not to
know the difference between single,
two. three and four circuits. Just
at that point he was beginning to get
on the express track to a real under
standing of radio, whether he realized
it or not.
Suppose you give me your idea Of
the difference between circuits"
"There's just where I'm puzzled" I"
he admitted i've heard people
talking about the filament circuit. the
grid circuit, the primary circuit and
the plate circuit. I could probably
add to the list, If necessary. Well,
any decent set has to have a circuit
to light the tubes, q circuit to carry
the faint current from the aerial to
the detector tube, and. certainly, they
all must have the circuit which leads
the output of the tube, or tubes. to
the phones"
I couldn't help suggesting that we
take a walk. He was talking sense,
but he wasn't talking about circuits
as they describe lay-outs for radio
receivers.
Your trouble Is that you don't
know what is meant when receivers
are described as being of a certain
circuit type" 1 explained. TITS like
thinking in terms Of an automobile
transmission when someone else is
talking about gears. He may mean
the timing gears.
Circuits Puzzle Smith.
"Of course there are different cir
cults, such as you describe, and I
trouble forming a mental picture of
a single-circuit receiver. You were
thinking of circuits in general, in
Guiding the battery circuits, whereas
the radio experts are talking specifi-
cally.
Before taking up this matter, how
ever, you must bear in mind a rule
regarding coupling fundamental
of electricity-which states that an
alternating current flowing through
an inductance coil will induce a like
current in any other conductor that
happens to be within its field. The
difference between the two kinds of
coupling is the. important point.
"Inductive coupling Is accomplished
when there Is no connection between
the inductance coil and the other
electrical conductor placed in it's field.
Conductive coupling Is accom-
plished when there is an electrical con-
nection between the inductance coil
and the other electrical conductor.
From this you can see that the vari-
ometer instrument is one that permits
of conductive coupling, while a vario-
coupler permits of the inductive kind
of coupling because there is no elec-
trical connection between the coil and
the rotor.
"In order to distinguish the sets ac-
cording to their circuit classification,
YOU must look to see whether the cir.
cult from the. antenna to the grid OF

DAILY EDITORIAL
By DOCTOR FRANK CRANE.
The .IeWi8ll Press

~ OCTOR MORDECAI SOLTES, of Teachers College,
3 Columbia University New York. has made some
interesting investigations in regard to the Jewish
press Of America.
One thing he finds is that the digent reader OF
Yiddish press editorials is the Jewish laborer.
He outstrps the merchant the manufacturing and the
fessonal groups, and also the housewives.
The group the housewives appear to be the least
interested the editorials about half of them ignoring the
editorial altogether while only 26 cent reported
that they consult it occasionally.
That the laborer most interested in the editorials is
explained by among the aborer many who
were students Tamud in the countries from which they
emgrated They frequently far above the in
mental ability and educational attainment
Analysing 543 editorials from Yddsh papers during six
months Doctor Sotes finds that per Of deal
strictly of Jewish nature Only about 10 cent deal
with world questions
The papers included are the Daily News, the Forward
the Morning journal, the Warheit and the Day.
All the Ydsh newspaper urge their readers to go back
soil They deprecate the tendency Of the immigrant
in the cities They also utilize every
possible opportunity to Jews to become American
citizens They point that naturalization privilege
duty and that all who intend to settle permanently
in the country should avail themselves Of it.
They denounce sabotage, terrorsm direct action and
similar methods of solving problems and claim that de-
sirable changes should be made in other ways
The report say that there future for the
Yddsh press as the present tendencies maintained
it will gradually decline and finally eliminate itself.
these papers concede their main editorial function to be to
interpret American events ideals and institutions to imm
grant Jews.
Doctor Sotes says "It is evident that the Yiddish
press has decidedly American outlook The Yddsh
papers American newspapers printed in Yiddish and
constitute desirable accession to American Journalism
This that the Yddsh is In the front rank OK
