MAYORT SS LANDES
Bv "A Service

SEArT.l, WASH, Ma. II. Mrs.
Bertha Ethel Knight l.andes IS
mayor of Scattlc's 100000 inhahi,
tants. She won 4 striking victory
at the polls the other day.
You would think that Mrs.
Landcs would be happy. She ISN'T.
Her great hope was to abolish the
job She was elected to fill-to do
away with Il mayor and have 4 city
manager for Seattle.
Fact is, Mrs. Landes does not
think Seattle needs Il mayor. The
people who elected her did not
agree with her ON that point how
ever. They voted down the city
manager plan.
Mrs. Landes knew nothing about
politics in 1922. She was Il - home
body" Then some club women de-
cided they should be represented on
the city council. Mrs. Landcs ran
for the office, more as Il stunt or
lark than anything else.
She won. Then, last year, she
was elected president of the city
council. And when Mayor Edwin
Brown, whom she defeated the
other day, went back east and Mrs.
Landes was acting mayor, she
caused big commotion by firing
police Officers and cleaning up the
town.
That was the chief issue between
Mayor Brown and Mrs. Landes.
Mrs. Landes was for cleaning up.

SHORT WEEK
Pleases Toilers and Employ
ers in English Factories

Montreal.-Referring to the shorter
work week policy of the A. F. of L.,
the Canada Labor Gazette, official
publication of the Dominion labor de-
partment, points out that the five-day
week has been in vogue in quite a
number of factories in Great Britain
for some years.
In many works, the five-day week
was adopted as result of bad trade,
and it is not possible to foretell
whether it will become permanent
and general institution" says the
chief Inspector of factories and work
shops in his report for 1925.
Reasons for Change
"In cases where bad trade has not
governed the situation" says the
British factory inspector, various
reasons have been put forward as an
explanation for it's introduction. For
example, a reduction of overhead
charges, especially where preliminary
processes required making up of fires
or raising steam, opportunities for
cleaning and repair Of machinery and
overhauling of plants. Fur
ther, the fair distribution of work
when Christians and Jews are en-
ployed in the same factory has been
found possible"
"That increase Of output has result
ed from the five-day week has not
been claimed, but, on the other hand,
there does not appear to be any evi-
dence that output has diminished" the
report continues. "It is quite usual
for managers to say that workers
seem much fresher when they have
the long weekend holiday. To mar
ried women it is boon, as it gives
them a free morning for domestic
duties, while men appreciate it for
work in the garden or allotment. :"
One free morning in the week gives
workers opportunities for attending
continuation classes, or pursuing a

can be made humane. "The very ma
ture Of war prevents it FROM being
humane" they say.
"The history of warfare shows con-
clusively that where the national unity
of nation is threatened, that nation
will make use of every effective
weapon at its command, regardless of
agreements.
''In future wars our enemies might
be either allowed to use gas freely,
or might make use of it notwithstand-
ing conventions entered into on the
subject. The great danger to our
national defense, and perhaps our in
dependence as nation, through the
deliberate casting aside of this effec-
tive weapon, should be apparent to
ALL"

hobby, and may prove to be an effec-
tive means of combating the effect Of
monotonous work, which is undoubt-
edly on the increase as result Of
the perfection in machine operation.
System Tried Six Years
''In the midlands, in two factories
employing together 5000 workers, the
system has been in operation for over
six years. The workers are enthusi-
astic about it, and the output of the
factories is stated to be most salts

where the five-day week has been
adopted, the workers, and indeed the
managers, seem to be almost unani-

The Fundamental Radio Circuits.

7 would hate to tackle the task oil
cnumerating the number OF circuits
which have been evolved in the !asl
few years. The number of circuits
with different names would easily run
into the hundreds.
Yet. in spite of the large numbe!
of circuits which have been worked
out by tireless circuit designers ano
bv manufacturers who are interested
in finding some new wrinkle or talk
inc point that will create new mar
ket. the fundamental principles OF
all of these new circuits are very
much alike and can be grouped into q
very few really fundamental circuits.
The first in the list of circuits is the
CRYSTAL deteCtor circuit, without any
form of amplification. The crysta!
detector circuit falls into the class OF
simple rectifiers, and / would place
in this class all the various types OF
minerals which have this rectifylng
property.
The next class includes rectifers OF
the tvo-elenent electrode type, such
as the Fleming wave.
Modern Vacuum Tube Type.
The third class would include the
! large variety of circuits built arounn
the modern vacuum tube. IL IS IN
| This last. class that the large majority
of modern circuits belong.
The circuits in this class overlap 10
s7,ch an extent that it would be dill
| c,,l+ IN divide them into separate clas-
! sif}cations. SO that we will content our
| selves with enumerating the basic
principles of these circuits and the
wav in which different combinations
nf the circuits are obtained.
The first in the list is the simple

only in one.tube detector circuits, put
also in circuits of the standard rduio
and audio frequency type in wnicn .

Kegcnerative Circuits.
Then we have a number of different
t,,,es of regenerative detector circuits
among which the ticker feedback ano
