Did They Vote Seriously
For Corned Beef as Best?

satiable craving for corned beef and
cabbage. Humor again proves true
to life. Or life shapes itself to hu-
NOR"
Some reservations are to be noted
in the cautious comment OF the
Charleston Mail. which says: "Corned
beef and cabbage is a good. even if q
somewhat plebeian, food. Poets have
not raved over it. and our romanticists
have not pictured its delights. Never
theless, while plain, it is appetizinc
to those whose appetites incline to il.
Homely, feeding and useful. may i
ever be the favorite dish Of those
who like It, and may those who like it
always be able to get it on demand
Attempting TO explain the result, The
Philadelphia Bulletin gives attention
to the fact that apparently the al
most universal sandwich was barred
from choice as unworthy the position
of a dish on the menu and rising to
no higher dignity than a bite With
the sandwich out of it, the preference
exhibited is explicable. Not only is
corned beef and cabbage succulent
and enticing Of itself, but it has solid
filing qualities" This point OF view
is shared with the Brooklyn Eagle.
whose idea of the situation is: "It j.
i
patrOnize ordinary restaurants have
no fancy tastes. They want whole
some food. Possibly the unjust adyeT-
tiSement of the hog meat as a puT-
veyor of trichinae has had some effect.
But that would he balanced by mem
cries of embalmed beef. Efforts to eN-
plain the inexpliCable are a pure waste
of time even for the most obstinate
of NordiCs.'
Offering still another explanation.
the Binghamton Press remarks: I'VE
don't know the restaurants in which
the vote was taken, but we venture 10
say they are not largely patronized by
ladies' luncheon parties or by the late
supper crowd. Corned beef and cab
bage is decidedly a mans food. And
the men have gone far to make il
Americas national dish" The claim
to national standing, however, is ques-
toned by the New York Evening Post.
which suggests that a "run-off" be
tween corned beef and eggs would
be interesting" The Post believes cit
is a question whether there are no
more eggs eaten in one day than corn
ed beef in a week" This cannot con
tinue however, as the matter IS view
ed by the Bay City Times Tribune.
which sets forth this procedure: "All
SOOO Will leeI compelled To
patronize more widely the dish upon
which the majority sets it's sacred
seal. Finally, there will come the in
evitable movement to compel the pub
lie to eat that dish exclusively, which
will likely end in a constitutional
amendment to make the eating of any
thing else punishable as contempt of
court" In the face of it all, how
ever, the Waterbury Republican views
ham and eggs as possessor of the high
rating 'fn the regard of Americans of
the open spaces, both great and small,
from ocean to ocean,"
The enthusiasm Of the food vote is
recognized by the Lynchburg News in
a comparison which it makes with a
recent referendum on public matters
in Virginia. The responses there were
much less representative than those
in New York on food. Boiled down."

Duluth Harbor Ranks
Second to NeLD York

Although it's harbor is closed ap-
proximately four months of the year
by ice, Duluth is rated the second
largest cargo shipping port Of the ma
ton in the annual report of marine
commerce of the Duluth-Superior har-
Dor, issued under direction of Maj
E. H Marks, of the United States
engineers office. New York harbor
only had more shipping than Duluth
last year. and Los Angeles was third,
according TO the report Then came
Buffalo, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Ash
tabula, Ohio, and Boston harbor,
Mass. Cargo freight, with a value of
s516,S37. 517 in 45,416.956 tons, for a
season Of 23S days, was recorded for
Duluth harbor. The net registered
tonnage OF the 1898 cargo vessels
which entered and left the harbor
during the season was placed at 81
676.722 tons, while the total number
of vessels of all classes TO enter and
leave the port was 9,7S3.

Left-circut of
Details Frequenoy Coupling Transformers

All things considered, ease of con-
troll, simplicity of construction, selec-
tivity and range Of reception the five
tube tuned radio frequency set is the
most efficient lookup that has been
developed. The one stumbling block
has been the proper means Of con-
trolling the oscillating characteristics
Of the tube. Several means of doing
this have been devised. most Of them
effective, but all had their drawbacks.
The monophase, recently described in
the Radio News and tested out in that
publications. laboratories, seems to be
one Of the best circuits yet offered.
The following description of this set
Is taken from the Radio News:
1t is well known that when several
stages Of radio frequency amplifca-
ton are employed in radio receivers
there Is tendency for self-oscillation
TO occur in the circuits. This is due
TO the feeding back of radio frequency
energy from the plate circuit Of tube
to the grid circuit of any other tu0e,
or to its own grid circuit
The Feed-Back.
There are, In general, three ways Of
preventing this feed-back: viz, the in
PRODUCTION Of resistance into the os-
cillatory circuits. naturalization of the
tube capacity or magnetic coupling, in
PRODUCTION into the circuits of electro
motive forces which have a polarity
(or phase) opposed to that of the in
coming signals.
The last method is that employed
In the superdyne receiver and is also
the method which has been employed
In this receiver. There is a differ
ence, however, in the way in which

the circuit stability is accomplished,
for in the superdyne this so-called
negative feed-back" is accomplished
by coupling a coil in the plate circuit
Of stage to a coil in the grid circuit.
whereas, in the monophase system the
coupling is between a coil in the fla
ment circuit and the one in the grid
circuit.
The fundamental circuit diagram is
shown in Fig. l. Here the common
terminal (the negative filament con-
nection) is broken and the feed-back
coil connected across the break. The
polarity of tho feed-back coil is TO be
made such that it will prevent self
oscillation.
Fig. > shows the complete wiring
diagram of the set. Three such feed
back coils are used, one for each stage
Of radio frequency application and
one for the detector circuit. One might
think that Sy using so many adjust
able parts, the operation of the set
would becopae very complicated. Such
Is not the case, however. for il will
be found that two of the feed-back
coils can be left untouched once they
are adjusted, so that the number of
TURING controls in the set is reduced
to the three condenser dials and one
dial for adjusting the first feed-back
coil or compensation.
The idea is that the second stage of |
RF. amplification is adjusted on the |
long waves, so that. as the feed in |
creases with the short waves. there |
will be less tendency for oscillations.
That is, the set is tuned in on the |
longest wave it is desired TO receive,
say GOO meters. and the second and |
third compensating coils adjusted

What the expedition wants most,
however. is Marco Polo's mountain
sheep, Owls Poll, named for him by
latter day naturalists. This sheep WAS
long considered fabulous, but there
is such an animal, unless it has now

1888. when Lieut.. John Wood, an Eng

N. A. A. c. p. TO BACK
MUSIC, ART STUDENT

The st. Paul Branch of the N. A.
A. c. p. has decided that each year
they will sponsor an entertainment
for any person who is studying music
or dramatic art and intends to make
this part of his or her career.
The recital on Monday, April 13,
p. m. at Pilgrim Baptist Church,
Cedar street and Summit avenue, In
which Mrs. Dovie Welsh will be the
principal is the first undertaking of
the Association to sponsor one of the
local artists. We ask for the co-ep-
Grafton of each and every person in
the city, so that this entertainment
may be the beginning of stimulating
interest in students to further their
activities along these lines and that
they may feel that they will receive
announcement by your presence
from their own home town. The ad-
mission IL so cents.
