Anchorage Times)

Back from escorting two insane persons to the privately-owned sani tarium near Portland, Ore, where Alaskans who have been adjudged insane are "treated" under the con- tract system, Harry I. Staser, deputy marshal, said today he would rather attend a mans funeral than to place him in Morningside.
 Deputy Staser said that the un- fortunate inmates of the Morning. side hospital, which is operated by Dr. w. w. Coe, are herded together like sheep and that their care seems to be secondary consideration of the management of the sanitarium.

RELATIVE TAXES

It is commonly said that figures never lie. At least the following compilation will give readers an idea of the relative commercial inn portance of various Alaskan towns. These figures have just been released by the Federal Officials in Juneau, and show the amount of taxes paid by the residents and business estab lishments in the towns listed during the calendar year of 1924.
 The total tax collected from the First Division was $162,091.53, about 40 per cent increase over 1923.
 The standings of the towns in this Division according to taxes paid were.

INDIAN BANDITS
 ARRESTED

years III the r0UoFdl pcIllCcIlC1dIy for various crimes, including rob- bery. The commission of a crime of the magnitude of felony is 50 seldom committed by Indians in AL aSka, where one-half the population are Indians, that the robbery by these Indian boys served as front page news items in the local papers for all of two weeks. Other crimes occupied but a single issue, such as crimes committed by the rancherS who stormed the water system of Los Angeles; the arrest of Jesse Newton who pleaded guilty at Chi cago to participation in the $2,OOO,- 900 train robbery at Rondout, Illi- nois; the arrest of William J. Fahey, U. s. Postal Inspector, who engineer ed the deal from the inside; the kid mapping of Gustave Averyssel and his children in Kansas City by six men; and the robbery of a bank there; the fist fight between Lowell Sherman, matinee idol. and George Baxtor, another actor, at the annual Actors Equity Association ball Tn New York City, and many other such crimes.
 The feature of the arrest of these Indian boys, which has been omittel in the reports by the Alaska Press. is as follows: After the boys hal roamed the country, and had eluded the twenty or thirty deputy mar shalls and special officers, they re- turned to Juneau and went to the home of Charlie Johnson's mother, feeling sure that the mother love would be sufficient to protect their presence under the very nose of C. s. Marshal Beaumont. The action of this mother is characteristic. She sent her youngest son out the back door to go to the Marshaps office to tell the officers that the two young bandits were at her home, anl to come quickly. Chief of Police Mack, Deputy Marshall TruesdaIe, and Patrolman Hoage went to the house and knocked at the door. Mrs. Johnson then went to the door and kept her body between the young bandits and the officers to protect them in that way if any shooting was done.
 None of the officers have given credit to this patriotic mother who handed up her own son to the law while her mothers heart was griev- ing for the crime which her boy had committed. But in telling the story the officers report the arrest in something like the following lan- guage:
 "We were on the watch for these bandits and naturally kept their homes under surveillance. In that way we learned that the desperadoes

Five hundred and sixty-nine broad

The department has arranged the

AIS are class A plants. According to the
list 90 different wave lengths are em-

OF the wave lengths the 275-meter

for administering the parental spank
ing on such recalcitrant oscillations
as would insist on making their un-
welcome presence felt in a radio re-
ceiver.
The potentiometer control in which
the tube is operated at particular
grid bias to prevent oscillations is
well known to many an enthusiastic
follower of tuned radio frequency am
piification.
In this method a potentiometer hav-
ing a resistance of from zoo to 400
ohms is connected so that the resist
ance element is directly across the a
battery. The adjustable element OF
the potentiometer is then connected
with the grid return leads from the
grid coils OF the radio frequency
transformers, as shown In the dia.

TO bypass the radio frequency cur
rent across the high resistance of the
potent!ometer.

Another method OF eliminating os-
citations uses hfgh-resistance OF
about 400 ohms, connected in series,
in the grid circuit OF the radio fire.
auency tube, between the grid coil
and the negative A battery lead.
The usual method used TO obtain
this result has been to use a 4o0-ohm
potentiometer with one end OF the
resistance element connected with
one end Of the circuit and with the
adjustable arm of the potentiometer
connected with the other end OF the
circuit, leaving one end OF the re-
sistance element free.
This method prevents oscillations
by introducing a resistance loss in
the grid circuit, thus preventing the
grid and plate circuit from attaining
a point OF absolute Recommending
requirement for the creation OF os-
citations through the feed-back ac-
tion which results through the inter
electrode capacity OF the tube when
the grid and plate circuits approach
a point OF resonance.
Reversed GFeed-Back--
Still another method made use of
is reversed feed-back," just the op-
posite of the ordinary method OF
tickIer coil feed-back.
This method used In the superdyne
circuit uses a coil connected into the
grid circuit of the radio frequency
amplifier tube, but placed close to the
grid coil of the tube, with the polar

ity OF the tickler so arranged that 1t
bucks instead OF aids the oscillations
IN the grid circuit of the tube.
All that was necessary to prevent
oscillations in that type of circuit
was to adjust the tickler coil so that
the amount OF negative feed back
from the plate to the grid circuit by
means of the reversed tickler coil
was just enough TO offset the amount
of positive feed back through the ca
pacity between the plate and grid
electrodes. III
