TEST OF SHORT WAVES
BY NAVAL STATION NKF

With Nearby Experts in Expert
ment-Amateurs to Assist.

Assisted by approximately a dozen
picked amateur stations in the East
ern and Central part Of the United
States, the naval experimental station
NkF', located at Bellevue. d. c., is
now engaged in conducting ohserva.
fions on the transmission OF va riety
OF short waves from the L. S. s Mem
phis, now on its way from New Lon
don. Conn. to St. NaZaire, France.
The operation of the short wa We
sets on the Memphis. working under
the call Mss. is in the hands of Dr.
A. Hoyt Taylor, in charge Of radio ct
the Bellevue laboratory and much
valuable information on the behavior
Of short waves at various distances
is expected as a result of the expert

On arrival at st. Nazaire. the ap-
paratus will be transferred to the
L. S. S. Pittsburgh, call NOT. and adj

Watch the Little Details.

Many an otherwise good set has
been handicapped by the foolish idea
that 1t did not make much difference
what kind of fixed condensers and
grid leaks were used In a receiver,
provided good radio and audio fire.
ouencv transformers, condensers and
other good ma jor parts were used.
The basis on which some fans rea-
sened was the fact that no really per-
ceptibie difference was noted in recep-
tinu when grid condensers, bypass
cordensers and grid leaks OF dltferent
values were used in the receiver.
The difference between a good ana
bad fixed condenser or good and
bad grid leak is comparatively very
small. The substitution of one for
the other in a new receiver will not
make any difference that you can no
tice at the time. The difference be-
tween them, however, is as great as
the difference between a suit or a
dress made of good material and one
made of poor material. In the be-
ginning both look more or less alike
but after they have been worn short
| time the difference between the two
| is easily apparent.
Causes Leakage.
| So 1t is in radio receiver construc-
| ton and operation. THE poor con-
denser or grid leak will work about
as well in the beginning, but with Use
! the characteristics will vary, leakage
! will take place and the set will begin
! to balk for no apparent reason.
In regenerative. receivers especially
, an incorrect value or poor quality OF
! grid condenser or grid leak may
start a series of rapid clicks, rattles
or even squeals. These are not due
| to a poor tube but to an improper
, value of the grid condenser and leak
Don't be penny wise and pound
| foolish in buying your fixed conden
sers and leaks and risk the chance
, of iunkIng an otherwise good OUTFIT
for the sake of saving at the most
about a dollar.
Unless there are long soldering
i!uCs on a fixed condenser, do not at
| tempt to solder to the terminals. as
| the heat will change the character
| istics of the condenser If 1t Is applied
| to. a great enough extent.
Don't Solder Grid Leak Caps.
Don't under any circumstances at
tempt to solder connections to the
cans of grid leaks or similar high re

.DR. H0UCk ADMITS
 HE'S A BIT CRAZY
Furnishes No Clue to Where aboutS Of His Missing Wife

Washington, Dec. 21 R)-Admit- tedly baffled, Washington police turned with little expectancy of suc- cess today toward the icy waters of the Potomac for a solution of the mysterious disappearance of Mrs. Gladys w. Houck, wife of Dr. Knute Houck, young psychiatrist of St. Elizabeths hospital for the Insane, who is under guard in Gallinger Municipal hospital pending investi- gation.
 Mrs. H. K. Houck, mother of Dr. Houck, who is here taking care of three-year-o Hugh, left alone when his parents dropped out of sight Wednesday, is of the opinion that her daughter-in-law, like her son, is the victim Of a mental dis order and has wandered away" The younger Mrs. Houck, she said has been studying very hard to keep pace with the brilliant progress of her husband, and she attributes his condition to the same cause. He was picked up Friday at Hornell. N. r., walking about in his underclothes and babbling irrationally.
 Detectives are working on three theories in connection with Mrs Houck's disappearance; that she was slain, committed suicide or left her home.
 1 They are by no means certain that she is dead and the impression is growing among the investigators that she is alive and in safe hiding place.
 Dr. Houck has proved an enimga even to his colleagues of the St Elizabeth's hospital At times he appears rational while being ques- toned about tl.e affair. but then give disconcerting answers and di- verges into other channels oi thought To newspapermen and DO. 1 licemen qucrying him he has ire quently brushed aside their questions about the affair and talked about the "sign language" and other ir. reyelant subjects.
 Fellow physicians have told the police that he had shown signs of nervous and mental trouble recently but they regard the present attack as only temporary He was an honor student at Northwestern university and an interne at he Mayo Brothers clinic at Rochester, Minn., and was pursuing the study of mental and nervous disorders at St. Elizabeth's S.

held with the tenant for the place. which is near Fifth avenue on Forty fourth street. He said the place was operated solely to aid in obtaining information against bootleggers.
 The club was abandoned. it was indicated. after it became known to bootleggers as 'hoodoo joint" be- cause so much of their liquor was seized upon delivery there. Bickle said he held Is months sublease.
 On the witness stand, Bickle de- scribed himself as prohibition in- vestigator and an under cover" man for A. Bruce Bielaski, who ob- tained evidence for the government against the Dwyer liquor ring.
 Bielaski declines to comment on Bickle's testimony beyond saying that "Bickle was employed by the government" During the Dwyer trial Bielaski testified that the gov ernment allowed him SLIGO month for his under cover work.
 Bickle testified that he operated the speakeasy from Nov. 1, 1925 to May 1, 1926. The place was then sold for s5,000, he said, and subse- quently raided. The complaint was dismissed when the new tenant gave up the enterprise.
 Bickle refused to answer when asked in court whether he was a member of Bielasllis staff when he opened the club on the ground that it might tend to degrade or in- .criminate him."
 The suit at which the disclosures were made was brought by Samuel H. Stone to break 21-year lease held by Mrs. Gussic Berman and her son. Dr. Isidore Berman, of whom Bickle was a sub-tenant. Bickle testified that before leasing the place he told the Germans that he would sell liquor there, but they main- tained they were innocent parties to the speakeasy business. Bickle said he paid s375 a month rent.
 The club contained an old fash toned bar. Testimony indicated that rhe money used in it's up-keep came from the special appropriations fund of the treasury department, said to be about s250,000, which is available for Bielaski's secret Operators"
 By new ruling of congress, those spending moneys from the special appropriations fund after July 1 1927, will have to give details of their expenditures and submit item- ized accounts.
 After Bickle's testimony, Federal Judge Francis A. Winslow adjourn ed the case until Jan. 5.
