The location is + street and Seven

noise If amplified is heard. Some
suggestions have been made that an
A-ray machine may cause the noise,
and while there is a hospital in the
Immediate vicinity, still it would not
likely be using such apparatus day
and night. Tonight it was especially
vicious on about 316 meters, but 1t
is heard readily all over the dial set
tings. The noise is plainly disasSo-
ciated with set noises, due to run
down batteries, poor connections, etc.
The noise cannot be heard when the
aerial is disconnected. Then, too, the
set functions properly when the
noise ceases, and this same interfer-
ence is of an extremely tantalizing
nature, for it blows in at any time
and sticks quite a while and is al
ways on just at the point of getting
call letters. There would be a GER

WHAT GOES ON BEHIND THE
SCENES IN A REFLEX CIRCUIT.
PART IL.
Before the action of a reflex circuit
can be understood, 1t is necessary to
have a knowledge of the fundamental
principles of the simpler circuits and
see just how simple the reflex circuit
employs those principles to increase
the efficiency of the circuit.
1t also is necessary to know some
thing of the signal which is sent out
by the transmitting station and re-
ceived by the receiving station.
To begin with the signal sent out
by a transmitting station Is not
simple current or magnetic field, but
consists of a complex entity caused
by the interaction or superimpositlon
Of one current on another
The first step that takes place In
transmitting n radio signal consists
OF setting up a radio frequency cur
rent of what is known as a continu-
Gus wave; that is, a current which
when radiated from an antenna sends
out a wave of a certain frequency
and of constant amplitude.
Such a wave is obtained by using a
vacuum tube of a size depending on
the strength of the wave to be sent
out and causing 1t TO send out an
oscillation of any desired frequency.
The Continuous Wave.
This is the type of wave used in con-
tinuous wave radio telegraphy or
telephony Continuous wave is ab-
breviated C. w.
This wave produced by the oscilla-
tor is called carrier wave" for rca-
sons which will be evident later.
The actual signal is produced in the
same manner as a telephone current
by a microphone circuit.
This audio frequency current Is
then superimposed on the radio fire.
quency current produced by the oscil-
lator so that among other actions
resulting from the superimposing OF
one current on the other, a current
results which is a modification of the
radio frequency current This cur
rent consists of a radio frequency
current of the same frequency as the
original radio frequency current, but
with the amplitude of the radio fire.
quency current modified to conform
with the amplitude OF the audio fire.
quoncy current at corresponding
time intervals.
The resulting current consists of q
radio frequency current with an
audio frequency envelope" made by
the audio frequency currents.
This is the current which causes the
aerial circuit of the transmitting sta
tion to radiate an electromagnetic
and electrostatic wave having char
acteristics corresponding to the cur
rent flowing in the aerial circuit.
Progress of the Wave.
The next step In the progress of
the radio wave is its reception by a

spirit, life Of His life. Through the
operation Of sin that likeness has
been marred, that image spoiled; but
God has not lost interest in His
supremest creature. for He sees in
man the possibility of redemption
and the element of a divine destiny.
1t is this that God sees in man that
has so attracted His attention,
caused Him to be mindful Of him,
and TO visit him
Indeed, when we consider the ex-
tent of Gods efforts in behalf Of
man, the material resources he has
ordained for his temporal support,
the provisions of divine grace for
his spiritual salvation, it appears
that man is the chief object of His
interest. Then, since God is so
deeply concerned for us, since He
has placed upon us an estimate be-
yond sun, moon, stars and all His
material handiwork, surely this
should awaken in every man the
keehest sense of his importance, thrill
him with deepest emotions and in
spire him onward toward the ulti-
mate realization of all his infinite
possibilities.

Where East and West
Can Meet

TN7RESIDENT COOLIDGE wants to call

s%S The League Of Nations expects to call such
atconference, presumably at Geneva.
Es$ Why not get together and hold it at
18kio-providing of course, that Japan wants
ikfas seems to be indicated in the cable from
ROY w. Howard appearing elsewhere in this
paper.
Ag It was Kipling who stuffed the world with
thes nonsense about EAST is East and West is
West and never the twain shall meetp; and the
sal part about it is that most people believe It,
6ss The truth of the matter is, it is quite as
possible for East to meet West and understand
zach other as it is for us to meet and under
Hand the Mexcans. The Englishman and the
Mrenchman each has his own decidedly partlc-
Mar way of looking at things But they can
ast together and arrive at least at an under
Aanding of each others point of view
Whether they agree or not.
N# So can East and West, if they try hard
sfleugh and use a mutual modcum of good will
anIa patience.
s An, arms limitation conference at Toxic
Gektainly offers some advantages. 1t would be
immensely beneficial if some Of our stay-at-
home American, British, French and other
Statesmen went out there for look-see. And
what is more important still, small army Of
journalists would go along, resulting in flood
OF articles interpreting the East for the West.
All of which makes for better understanding
between peoples and when people understand
one another it makes quarreling and going to
war harder.
Ns Another thing: When President Harding
called the first arms conference in 1921, the
Jbaited States was fast becoming the mightiest
sea power in the world. His calling that con
ference was everywhere hailed indica-
ton that this country sincerely wanted peace.
@S Today the situations are reversed. Japan
leads the world in expenditures for arma-
11ents, wealth considered. She leads by con-
siderable both Britain and America in naval
construction laid down or appropriated for
Since the Washington arms conference.
iNs Would it not be taken as indication Of
Japan s pacific intentions were she to invite
the league, of which she is member, and the
United States, which is not a member, to dis
cIss arms limitation with her in Toxic?
4Sounds reasonable, anyhow:

in the past five years. Nearly one
half of this roads stockholders are
women.
A survey by the Academy of
Political Sciences some months ago
revealed that the stockholders in
523 corporations In basic industris
including railroads, electric, steel,
oil and packing companies-in-
creased 100000 between Jan. 1.
1918 and Jan. /, 1925. The num-
Der virtually doubled in that time.
Lambasting the great corpora
tions was a favorite exercise of
demagogues and trust-busters
few years ago. They were believed
to be devices of a few wicked
capitalists to squeeze the blood out
of plain people.
Perhaps that attitude was once
justified. But now the owners OF
the great corporate enterprises are
not a few ruthless buccaneers in
Wall Street lairs, but common
folks scattered all over the coun-
try-stenographers, gentle widows,
workmen, straphapgers, small
merchants and professional men.
Millions of them.

corporate ownership in America
is guarantee of the country's
future stability.

and salary arrears as was the Gus
tom generation or so ago. But
even yet many prosperous con-
gregations expect their preachers
to lay up treasurers only in Eeav-

nothing but good names.
Whatever is worth having is
worth paying for. If the churches
want more capable men in the pull
pit they will have to pay the price
in adequate salaries. Perhaps there
would be fewer mediocre preachers
if there were fewer mediocre min
isterial salaries.
Even if the average preachers
salary was doubled there would be
no jam of candidates trying to
break into the profession. Secular
professions VIII always be more
lucrative-so the call to the min
istry will never be the dinner bell.
