HEARS APPEAL
OF RUTHENDERG
T est Constitutionality
of SyndicaIism Act
Especial to The Daily workerl

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 3o-The
constitutionality Of the Michigan state
syndleaIlsm act was attacked In an
appeal brot by Charles E. RuthenberG,
secretary Of the Workers (commun-
ist) Party, who was convicted in Mich
igan under the state criminal syndieal-
ism act for attending a convention Of
the Communist Party near Rrldgemah,-
Mich, in August 1922.
Exceeded Police Power.
I. E. Ferguson, representing Ruthen-
berg, pointed out that the Michigan
law exceeded its police power and that
Ruthenberg had been convicted on the
assumption that he would advocate
criminal syndicalism. Ferguson point
ed out that the law punished assembly
at a convention and that to punish
anyone under the law the state must
prove that at the meeting unlawful
means for overthrowing the govern
ment was advocated.
Assistant States Attorney General
C. L. Smith represented the state of
Michigan. He INDUCED in red-baiting
thruout his arguments. trying to just
ify the Michigan statutes.
Conflict Among Judges.
The arguments of Ferguson against
the constitutionality of the Michigan
state syndicalism act was met by a
constant volley of questions from all
of the judges. The questions made
apparent that there was a conflict of
opinions among the judges as to the
constitutionality of the syndicalism
act.

Subsidy Expires.

At midnight tonight the lockout
notices of the employers and the
strike notices of the miners will go
into effect simultaneously.
At the same time the government
subsidy which has reached beyond the
$115,000.0 900 mark viii expire.
General Strike Possible.
The pledge OF support to the 100000
miners, who will begin their strike to-
night, made yesterday by the Trade
Union Congress executive represents
200 unions in Great Britain involving
four and half million workers. The
decision does not mean a general
strike Immediately, but with the strug-
gle between mine workers and mine
owners getting down to real fight
there is every chance that sympathetic
strikes will be declared by the larger
unions, such as the transport workers,
that may easily develop into a gem
eral strike.

sfbie at very small expense to install
a real ground that will give maximum
efficiency. Secure a length of copper
pipe about one inch in diameter by
four feet long and drill a number of
holes in it. Fit wooden plug into
one end. For a ground wire use
length of solid insulated copper wire
about II gauge. Clean the top of the
pipe and about foot of the ground
wire, then wrap it around the top of
the pipe and solder.
Dig hole about five feet deep
and one foot wide. Secure a bag of
charcoal, six or seven pounds of salt
and few pounds of copper sulphate.
Smash up the charcoal as small as
possible, then mix charcoal, salt and
copper sulphate together. Fill in the
earth, packing the above mixture
tightly around the pipe as you fill up
the hole. This is very important
When you have filled up the hole take
a hose and let water into pipe to thor
oughly moisten the ground This will
give you ground that is 100 per cent
efficient.-P Record.

it is merely necessary to vary the two

Goatherd's Pretty
Tribute to Beauty

"Raquel Meller, the Spanish music
hall artist" said a playwright, "keeps
promising to come to America, and
then she goes back on her word. It's
pity. For Raquel Meller isn't only
a great artist; she's the most beauti-
full creature in the world
"Many stories are told in Spain
about her beauty. Here's one that
can vouch for.
"In Malaga last year she presided
over a booth at a charity bazaar A
sunburnt young goatherd from Miias
halted before this booth one after
noon and stood quite still for a long
time, gazing at her with ardent and
humble admiration in his dark eyes.
She, of course, is accustomed to that
sort of thing, so she took no notice,
but when the young goatherd planked
a five-peseta piece down on the coun-
ter, heaved loud sigh and turned to
go, she called him back.
"'Won't you have something for
your money, senor?' she said, in her
sweet fresh voice.
''The goatherd took off his hat,
bowed and answered:
GIVE had more than my moneys
worth already, thank you, ma'am.'"

Secretary Davis Orders Air
Service Investigation in Army

Washington-Invest of con-
ditions in the army air service has
been ordered by Secretary Davis OF
the war department. The secretary
wants to know whether air service
officers still are employing disloyal
methods in carrying forward the agi-
tation for a separate air corps. To
establish the facts, two separate in
quiries have been ordered by the Sec
rotary. One phase has been placed in
the hands of Major General Eli A.
Helmick, inspector general of the
army. Another has been entrusted to
Major General Mason M. Patrick, chief
OF the air service. Whether disciplin-
airy action will be taken by the war
secretary depends upon the nature and
completeness of the information col
lected. 1t is conceded to be within
the realm of possibilities that a gen.
eral shakeup of air service personnel,
including court-martial proceedings
similar to those which preceded the
exit of Colonel William Mitchell from
the army, will follow.

ashington-Drastic reorganization

DIAGRAM Simple crystal Sc. That Gives Results


The receiver about to be described
can be constructed with very little ex-
pense.
The panel is a piece of half-inch
wood, hard rubber or bakelite. The
subbase is made of wood. The panel
can be any size. We suggest seven
inches by nine inches as a convenient
one. The subbase is attached to the
panel by means Of No. 6 wood screws
one inch long.
The coil is wound on a cardboard
tube four inches in diameter and four
inches long. Get one-quarter pound
OF Y d. C. C. magnet wire.
The Winding.
Start the winding and wind on one
turn. Make loop in the wire-a
loop about one inch long-then wind
on another turn and make another
loop the same length. Continue wind
ing on single turns and taking out
loops until ten turns have been wound.
After this wind on ten turns, make
loop, wind on ten turns more, make
another loop, and repeat the process.

bflity and selectivity are three things
every fan likes to have in his set, but
a large number do not realize what a
strong influence a good ground con-
nection has in obtaining results.
1t is worth while doing some expert
menting with ground connections and
you will probably find out some very
interesting facts. One of the simplest
and best methods to use in testing the
efficiency of various ground connec-
tons is to tune in a station as far dis
tant as possible, then reduce the vol
use until you can just hear the signal
family. Make note of the dial set
ting on the rheostat controlling the
volume. Now disconnect the ground
and try one of the others you have
arranged and compare the volume. If
you cannot hear any signal, wait a
minute and make sure the station has
not been fading. If after short pc
riod you still do not hear a signal,
then you know that this ground is not
as efficient as the first one
In addition to comparing the vol
ume obtained with each possible
ground, make a test for selectivity.
1t is surprising what difference a
good ground can make to the selec-
tivity.
Try out each of the ground connec-
tons it is possible to arrange until
you find one that gives better results
than the others.
The most common type of ground
used is a connection to a cold water
pipe. This is generally o. X. if the
pipe is thoroughly cleaned and cop
per ground clamp used to make con-
tact. 1t is generally impossible for
the average man to solder wire to
cold-water pipe, as the water must be
turned off and blow lamp used in
stead of soldering iron. 1t is a
good idea to remove the clamp every
three or four months and examine
the surface around the clamp to see
that there is no corrosion.
If you are located where you can
reach the ground within reasonable
distance from your receiver. it is pos

CRYSTAL Detection Made
Certain and Prolonged

Two new ideas have been brought
out to make detection by crystal GER
tain and prolonged.
One is the use Of finely meshed
wire screen placed horizontally over
the crystal, with the cat-whisker max
ing contact through the screen. The
opening through which the cat-whisker
is placed keeps this contact no mat
fer how the crystal may be Jared.
Another idea from France, is crys-
tai with ten fine wires touching it
at as many points. The wires are con-
nected to fiber disk with ten-point
switch. The operator thus may bring
any one of the ten points into the
circuit by means Of this switch.
This makes ten selected adjustments
to the one crystal.-Detroit News.

Ohm and Megohm

The meaning of the terms ohm and

are electrical units of resistance.
The ohm is the fundamental unit and
is the amount of opposition to the

cause the current to drop one volt
when forced through at one ampere.
