week the spokesmen for the State
orga nization asked Senator Butler of
Massachusetts, chairman of the Re.
publican national committee, to in
veStigate the charges thoroughly, and
they promised to contribute 100000
to the party if the charges We're
found true The offer was made con.
ditional, however, on contribution of
a like amount by those who preferred
the charges if the charges were found
false.

Wave Length Range and
How to Keep in Tune

Two simple principles applied to the
average receiving set viii enable the
operator to F"cp in tune with all
waves from to GOO meters If a
coil Of wire Is placed In series with
the antenRa, Il has virtually the same
effect as increasing the wave Of the
aHteHHa, thereby making Ii possible
20 pick up higher wave lengths. The
larger the coil, the greater will be the
increase In wave length. If variable
condenser is placed In series with the
antenna or ground wire, the wave
length range of the set is reduced.
The smaller the capacity of the con-
denser. the greater will be the cut In
wave length. To place coli In series
with the antenna. connect the lead-in
wire to one end Of the coil and run
wire from the other terminal OF the
coll to the antenna binding post on

nected the same way.

Messages May Travel

idea:
zone path is along the surface of
the ground. The other path is through
the high levels Of the air fifty or a
hundred miles above the earth. When
both these waves arrive at the same
receiving set they sometimes Inter
feEe. This may cause what radio fans
call fading or some other disturb
ances of reception. Much progress has
been made recently In understanding
Just how radio waves move through
the ether from place to place. As
these facts become better known and
are applied, we may expect further
improvement In the quality Of the

general points which should receive
primary consideration before the spe-

There Is really only one fundamen-

tive and capacItative values in the In.
dividual tuning circuits, which con-
siders the indnctance and capacity

the problem OF the designer so TO
arrange his parts and their intercon-
nections that the parasitic capacities
and inductanees are either negligible
or are the same In each stage OF radio
frequency application.
This accomplished there remain
only the. matching OF the deliberate
inductances (the tuning eoils) and the
capacities OF the tuning condensers.
The latter is taken care OF in the case
of any reliable condenser, such as the
Amsco "Siamese," which the writer
used In his experiments.
It is the designers Job to match the

inductive values as well as poorly

discrepancies in some
