Frankly. we talk about 1t our

The thirteenth annual meeting
OF the Chamber of Commerce of
the United States has passed into
history, but one of its pages
glows brightly with a story told
by Carl Gray, president OF the
Union Pacific System. on the
closing day Of the convention.
It was this:
"A strong man named Xerxes
was travelling with a circus which
had fallen upon hard times. One
day, after a particularly small
audience had vieweN the show.
the manager called his perform
ers together and broke the sad
news.
I'VE can't go on any longer"
he said, so I'm going to pay you
off as far as the money will go.
To be sure that there will be no
favoritism, I'll pay off alphabet
icalIy.'
The bread line formed, with
Xerxes well in the rear. Before
he was reached, the company's
funds had been exhausted.
The strong man went off, nurs-
ing a grudge, and worked no more
until the following spring. Then
ne saw an advertisement for cir
Gus performers, wanted for a new
troupe, and applied for a job
He went to the address indicated
in the ad and there met the man.
ager of the former bankrupt show.
All, Xerxes, you're just the
man / wantw exulted the man.
ager, with no trace of embarrass-
ment. Want your old JOB back,
Xerxes?"
"I'll take the job" said the
strong man, but from now on
can that Xerxes stuff. My name
is Ajax"

II useful in a circuit, but which also
make is easy to use and easy to tune
Inc qualities which give a. con-
denser good electrical characteristics
are rugged construction, which in
sures good alignment of plates for
the life of the condenser, and good
connection between the plates OF the
condensers. such as soldering, to elm.
mate resistance. The extra leaf type
OF condensers, for permitting fine ad-
Justments of capacity, are not as good
as the geared type. in which all the
rotor plates move as a unit under
nne control of gear mechanism.
Vernier Dial Recommended.
One of the best methods to use for
f1ne adjustments is the type of vernier
dial which permits a continuous vari-
alton of the capacity rather than a
separate vernier in which a rough
adjustment is obtained by coarse
adjustment and the finer adjustment
is obtained with a separate adjust.
ment
The terminals Of the condensers
should have a positive contact with
the sets of plates with which they
make contact. A pigtail or flexible
connection between rotor plates and
rotary plates terminal Is the best
positive contact that can be obtained.
but a good friction contact will give
good results If heavy bearing with
good pressure is used.
OF late the tendency has been to
use single-hole mountings for all
instruments that are to be mounted
in the panel. The use of such an
instrument greatly facilitates the Job
of mounting the part on the panel
and also eliminates the trouble often
experienced in locating the mounting
holes properlY.

RULES ARE REVISED
BY SUPREME COURT
Appeals From District Courts
Must Rest on Questions of
Law, Not Fact.

The United States Supreme Court
prior to adjournment for this term
issued yesterday a revision of the rules
governing practice before the court
The rule relating to questions certified
by the Circuit Court of Appeals or
the Court of Appeals of the District
of Columbia is classified as rule No
"a, and is as follows:
Where a, Circuit Court of Appeals
or the Court of Appeals of the Dis
trict of Columbia shall certify to this
court a question of law concerning
which 1t desires instruction for the
proper decision of the case the GER
tiflcate shall contain a statement of
the nature of the cause and of the
facts on which such question or
proposition of law arises. Questions
of fact cannot be so certified Only
questions or propositions of law may
be certified and they must be distinct
and definite.
If in such a cause it appears that
here is special reason therefor, this
cause may on application or on its
own motion require the entire record
be sent up so that 1t may consider
and decide the whole matter in con-
troversy as upon writ of error or
appeal.
Where application is made for di-
rectton that the entire record be sent
up, the application must be accom-
panied by a certified copy therefor"

HOW TO CHOOSE A GOOD
VARIABLE CONDENSER.

There are some radio parts which
cannot be judged unless they are
actually tested in a receiver or are
subjected to laboratory tests to
determine the efficiency of their con-
struction.
A condenser, however, can be
Judged to a considerable extent by a
mechanical inspection Of the details
of construction. Low losses, with
consequent high efficiency, are what
should be looked for in a condenser
for good results. There have been so
many claims and counterclaims for
and against the metal end plates and
the bakelite and hard rubber end
plate condensers that it is very diff
ficult for the average fan to know
where he is in the matter of select
ing a condenser.
AS far as selection of a condenser
on the basis of whether 1t has metal
end plates or whether it has bake
lite or hard rubber end plates are
concerned, l suggest that you forget
it and use your own personal prefer
ence in the matter. The relative ad-
vantages and disadvantages of either
one type or the other are about six
one way and half dozen the other
Hard Rubber End Plates Best.
You can get a condenser with hard
rubber end plates which is every bit
as efficient as the finest metal and
plate-grounded rotor condenser, and.
on the other hand, you can get many
metal and plate condensers which
are by no means as efficient as many
hard rubber end plate condensers
What you should look for is the little
details which not only increase the
efficiency of the condenser and make

ALLEGED PICKPOCKET
HELD AT ROCKVILLE
Police Charge Attempt to Rob
Elderly D. G. Visitor at
Glen Echo.

Deputy Sheriff Stanley Gingell is
paying much attention to the pro-
lection of thousands of residents of
this city who freqeunt Glen Echo,
Md, especially Saturday nights and
Sundays. Several reports of the work
of pickpockets at the resort were
made the past two weeks, and Satur-
day night the deputy sheriff was on
hand to look after such individuals.
Gingell made an attempt to arrest
two young men he suspected of at
tempting to pick the pocket of an
elderly man. He succeeded in getting
only one of them, however, after
short chase.
The prisoner was registered at
Rockville as Thomas Green, a resi-
dent of Southeast Washington. Gin
gell today reported having identified
the prisoner as Samuel Lowenthal,
alias Harry Markowitz, alias Sam
Greenburg, whose likeness is in the
local police gallery, said to be a Bal
timoreran. The deputy sheriff is an
xious to learn the identity of the
elderly man whose pocket, he claims,
the prisoner was trying to pick when
he arrested him.

SCHENECTADY, N. Y, June g.
Sir Esme Howard, British Ambassa-
dor to the United States, yesterday was
awarded the honorary degree of doc
tor of laws by Union College. AS hon
orary chancellor he addressed the
graduating class in the memorial food
chapel, discussing the problems of
democracy and the Swiss solution. He
said that the two principal require
ments of government for demo
cratic state were stability in govern
ment with the least possible disturb
ance to public life, and that the
government should express as far as
is humanity possible the will of the
people of the country. Those two
requirements, he said, have been
better met in Switzerland than per-
haps in any other country in the
world.

CHICAGO PROCEEDING

Supreme Courts Refusal to Open
Water Diversion Case Again

CHICAGO. June 9.-The sanitary
district Of Chicago, proceeding with
its flve-year program for the construc-
ton Of sewage treatment plants In
conformity with the order Of the War
Department, had not expected the Su-
preme Court to grant a rehearing in
the water diversion case. The refusal
by that court yesterday followed the
usual formal application of counsel for
the district. The application for a re-
hearing and the denial by the court
were regarded by district officials as
merely routine of litigation.
The court some time ago upheld the
Federal court here in enjolning the
district from diverting from Lake
Michigan more than the approx
mately 5000 cubic feet a second al
lowed under an old War Department
permit.
The War Department. however, in
response TO Chicago's appeals for sufff-
cient water to take care Of its health,
issued a new order allowing $500
cubic feet a second during the five
year construction program pledged by
the district.
