BRITISH APPROVE MOVE.
Stock Exchange Responds to Gold

LONDON, April 29-The London
Stock Exchange showed evidence to-
day of being generally pleased with
the new British budget which 1t is
considered will carry on the policy
outlined by Premier Baldwin at the
beginning of his administration. au-
CURING well for the financial and COM
mercial community of the country.
The downward adjustment of the
income tax and the absence of the
expected raid on the sinking fund
caused fractional gains in investment
securities, especially government is
sues, while those securities affected
by reimposition of the McKenna du-
ties moved up we'll, especially the va
rious motor car and cycle shares.
Announcement of the protective
silk tariff caused a sharp rise in the
shares of silk and artificial silk man.

strength of the preferential duties
Speculative issues were little affected
moving quietly and steadily.
:. All Classes Are Affected.
Great Britain's return to the gold
standard was announced yesterday
by Mr.. Churchill. in what is consid-
cred the most important budget
statement of modern times.
Apart from it's leading feature, the
return to gold. the budget was of vast
importance, for it contained some
thing for all classes pence off the
income tax on earned incomes under
fl 900 for the middle classes, allevia-
ton in the supertaX for the wealthy
and big scheme of contributory in
surance for the working classes.
which next year will give the widows
of insured men 10 shillings weekly
for life. with shillings weekly for
the eldest child and shillings for
each other child under the age of IA
and also eventually old-age pensions
payable at 65 years, instead of 70, as
now, and without any test as to
means.
Another important announcement
by the chancellor was that American
credits were being arranged for to
the amount of not less than $780,
5000, but these would be used only
# and when required.
Restores Imperial Preference.
Mr.. Churchill has restored in a GER
tain measure imperial preference and
the McKenna duties, the latter hay-
ing to do with foreign films, motor
cars, motor cycles, clocks, watches
and musical instruments, all of
which the United States exports
heavily to England, and has also
placed protective duties on silk and
hops.
He remarked that general elections
had robbed the treasury of the op-
portunity c2 making a searching eX-
animation Of expenditure, thus indi-
eating that he favored still further
retrenchment in the public services,
although there Is a general opinion
that rock bottom has been reached
at an annual expenditure of approx
mately $500. 100000.
Mr.. Churchill admitted that he did
not feet justified in taking into con-
sideration in this budget any sub
stantial expansion of trade, which
admission is regarded as rather pes
eimistic in view of the country S
prospects.

Police were planning today to con-

the Ku Klux Klan in Northbridge
early this morning, when $50 members
of the Klan were attacked by 200 men

State police were also considering
an investigation to learn the leaders
of the attacking force which met the
klansmen with fusillade of stones,

Now, here is the catch as far as the
relation of the condenser setting TO
the wave length is concerned. 1T
tie knowledge is a dangerous thing
and here the knowledge that the
wave length is dependent on the ca
pacity in a circuit, the inductance re-
naming constant, is apt to lead the
unwary astray.
The wave length of a circuit does
not change in direct proportion with
the change in capacity since the for
muIa for wave length is that shown
in Fig. ., where w equals the wave
length in meters, l. equals the 1nduc-
lance in millihenries and c equals the
capacity in micro microfarads.
If the quantity for capacity were
not included In the square root sign,
the wave length would vary directly
with the change in capacity, but since
IT is included in the square root sign
that relation does not apply The re-
lation is one which involves the
square law, and a definite change in
capacity at the lower end of the wave
length scale does not produce the
same change in wave length that is
produced by a similar change at the
higher wave lengths.
A concrete example will illustrate
this fact more strongly than lot of
theory.
II we consider that in the case of
the above condenser a movement

Macmillan Announces Plan of De-
veloping Low Wave-Length
Efficiency.
By the Associated Press.


CHICAGO. March PAS means
of developing low wave-length eff
cheney in radio, Comdr. Donald B.
Macmillan, Arctic explorer an
. nounced he would have his expedf-
ton into the Far North equipped with
transmitters OF four wave-length
ranges when it departs this year.
Decision to use a low wave length
was reached following a conference
OF radio experts here in which 1t de-
veloped that the best results have
been obtained in short meter work,
rather than over a long wave length,
particularly accounted for in light
conditions.
A wave length of 40 meters will
probably be used during midnight
hurs, which will be daylight in the
Arctic regions, Comdr. Macmillan ex-
plains, but will penetrate darkness
In the lower degrees of latitude.
Eighty meters will be provided as n
emergency compromise wave length
fitted to cope with unanticipated
conditions, and the $50 wave length
will be provided to prove that 1T will
not function over the distance under
the conditions existing in daylight.
A 20-meter band will be used dur
ing the period preceding and succeed
ing noon, when the expedition ex-
poets to be in entire daylight, during
the months of June, July, August and
September, this especially after pass

MICA HAS EXTENSIVE
USE IN RADIO FIELD

Mica is used extensively in the
radio industry. Perhaps you have
seen it used in the windows" of the
old wood burning stove. 1t is prob
ably best known as "isingIass," al
though entirely different in texture.
Isinglass is the form of gelatin which
is obtained from large fish bladder
such as that of the sturgeon. Mica,
which is used in many forms for
commercial work and now extensive
ly in radio apparatus as an insulat-
ing material, is mineral silicate
that readily separates into thin
leaves and is more or less elastic.
Although mica has been found in
some OF the Indian mounds in Ohio
it is. not Of the fine quality mined
and imported from India. There Is
a great quantity of domestic mica
used, most of II coming from North
Carolina and other Southern States.
Home production is exceeded by i'm
ports.
Mica is mined with hand picks in
the smaller mines, while pneumatic
drills are used in the larger mines
When taken from the mines mica
ranges in size from a few inches to
several feet in diameter, and the bet
ter quality has brought $1,000 a ton.
Splitting knives are used to separate
the mica into sheets of the required
thickness. A good splitting for a
day is about three and a half pounds.

1t is generally known that the ca

that is exposed to the other set
In the ordinary variable condenser
thu dielectric used is air; the DIS

OF the condenser is the rotation Oh
