Should Railroads Share Up2

SHOULD the Northern Pacific, Great
~ Northern and Burlington systems
share their big incomes with that of the
hard-up Milwaukee? That's a question
that vitality interests Seattle, western ter
minus of the road. 1t is the chief sub
ject to be fought out in the hearings to
begin before the interstate commerce COM
mission September / in connection with
the effort of the railroads to increase
{ freight rates in the Northwest.
Congress in 1920 thought it had an
swered this question in the affirmative.
1T passed law to the effect that railroads
earning over 55l per cent should share
their excess profits with less fortunate
lines. Disputes over the valuations on
which profits are to be figured have prac-
tlcally made this part of the 1920 trans
portation act dead letter.
The specific case which will be threshed
out in September is whether the Milwau-
kee railroad is entitled to some of the
profits of such lines as the Northern
Pacific, the Chicago e. Northwestern and
other lines which operate out of Chicago
TO the West and North.
The Milwaukee, now in The hands of
receivers, needs a rate increase of II per
cent in order to earn 53t per cent on its
capitalization, its owners say. An II per
cent increase is more than the shippers
and consumers along the Milwaukee can
pay.

OF course it is impossible to use a
loop that is half a wave length long,
because such a loop would be much
larger than any ordinary type OF
outdoor antenna, and besides being
cumbersome would not be adapted for
reception on short wave lengths be-
cause Of its great length.
In the case of a 400-meter wave
length, the length would have to be
200 meters, or about $50 feet. obvious
ly out of the question for indoor
reception.
The same relative action takes
place, however, in smaller loops, that
Is, current produced in one direction
is less than that produced in the
other direction at any particular in
stant if the vertical portions of the
loop are n&5behind the other with
respect to the direction of travel of
the wave.
In that case the difference of poten-
tial is very slight, but it is sufficient
to be useful and by connecting several
turns in series, the potential differ
ence of each turn is added to the po-
tential difference of each other turn
so that the difference of potential across
the terminals of the entire loop is built
up to a considerable extent.
Evening star., 1925-02-26

Lest you be confused by the fact
that current is flowing in opposite
directions in the coil, keep in mind
that as far as the direction of current
flow produced by the movement of
tn magnetic field past the vertical
wire conductors is concerned, the two
vertical portions might as well be un-
connected. The current is produced
in the same direction in each wire,
in this case upward. so that when
considered. as a complete electrical
circuit, the currents move in opposite
directions because of the mechanical
and electrical connection between
the two.
You can readily see that the great
est difference in potential across the
terminals of the loop occurs when the
vertical portions are made as long
as possible and are separated by the
greatest distance possible in the
direction in which the wave is
travelling.
A large number of turns also makes
for greatest potential difference across
the terminals, so that size of loop and
distance, up to one-half a wave length
of the desired wave, between the
vertical portions are the factors
which determine greatest signal
strength.
the coil so that a great many turns
can be used without unduly in
creasing the resistance and distributed
capacity between the windings, a very
efficient small loop may be constructed.

Radios crying need at present

gan scouting on Capitol Hill in search

preparation killed by a House COM

ference to broadcasting.
But lacking jealous guardian and
sponsor in the committee room, the
item fell before the governmental econ

Radio, although an industry that is
swiftly approaching the billion
dollar mark and a social factor in the
lives of a third OF the country's pop
ulation. is still just a lusty young
orphan when 1t starts poking around
the halls of Congress.
Representative White of Maine and
Senator Dill OF Washington have
shown an interest in the orphan.
They may yet become it's champions
in the two houses. But, so far, the
big little fellow has attracted few
active friends and is treated pretty
generally with indifference on the
Hill.
There will be no introduction of
the general subject of radio to the
present session of Congress. In view
of the uncertainty of the future of
the science, Secretary Hoover has
recommended that any legislation be
deferred until its trend is more clear

An interesting experiment in the
remote control of heavy machinery
by radio was carried out at the
Wembley exposition in England. A

fitted with a starting and stopping
mechanism that operated from a

United States and Canada Coop
Grating to End Trouble.

Several instances of serious inter

been reported to the Department OF
Commerce, but 1t was said today
there was no reason to believe that
the higher-powered northern stations
would continue to bother United

Radio officials of the Dominion
government and of the United States

Grating in every step of their broad

difference in Field Intensity.

AS shown in the diagram, only a
small portion of the wave is inter-
cepted at the same instant by the
small turn of wire. No matter how
small the distance between the two
vertical portions, however, a difference
in field intensity exists so that the
current produced in the direction A
by the wave at the instant shown in
the diagram is greater than the cur
rent produced in the direction by
the different portions of the same
wave. The result is that B cancels
or neutrafizes some of the current in
the A direction, but is not sufficient
to neutralize all the current in the A
direction so that some current flows
in the A direction.
