is PROHIBITION A FAILURE?

gresham Eaton may have to say upon this subject
during the coming months, cannot forecast but it
must not be "mdde-o the stream stand He is
either for the present obnoxious liquor laws, he
for normal modification, which will tend to conform
the wishes of the voters in the district which he
in Congress.
1t is the voters of the Fourth Congressional District
whom DR. Eaton represents and not his personal views
the views of the Ant-Saloon League which have
often dominated Republican legislative candidates.
The old shop-worn campaign talk of multiplying the
Constitution cannot be forced down the necks of the
people much longer Laws made by human beings,
if they made at times under great political
stress and prssuhre, but WIN they become obnoxious
and oppressive it is the duty of lawmakers to revise
thief to conform to the will and wishes of the people
Mayor Williams has taken that attitude and from
the public support he has been promised believe he
represents the sentiment of great majority of the
voters in this district Mr. Williams not only expresses
his personal sentiments of the Volstead Act but
he is honestly trying to educate the voters of this
district upon the hypocrisy of the present liquor laws
and the thousands of evils which have followed in the
wake of socalled prohibition enforcement, 1t is an
inspiration to talk to Mayor Williams upon this all
absorbing subject. Somerset Co. Democrat.

the wealth,
But whenever they into wealth themselves

A socialist was trying to convert his friend "If

"Do you mean" asked the friend, that if you had

WILLIAMS ADVOCATES CHANGE IN PROHIBITION

The Congressional campaign in this district, be-
tween Congressman Eaton and former Mayor Williams
of High Bridge, is fairly under way and public
sentiment in the entire district comprising Somerset
Hunerdon and Mercer Countless is rapidly crystalzing
in favor of Mayor Williams, of the most outstand
ing candidates ever nominated for Congress by the
Democrats Of the Fourth District.
Neither the torrid August weather the Hall

Collodion Is Found Best
Binder for Radio Coil

When winding tuning coils it is
necessary to use some kind Of
binder. The radio laboratory of the
bureau of standards would recon-
mend collodion for that purpose. Com
parative tests with varnish, shellac.
and paraffin produced results indicat-
ing that collodion is best, with the ad-
ditional advantage Of drying rapidly.
Different binding materials were
applied to a single-layer coil, just
enough to cover the entire surface.
The coils were then dried thoroughly.
Since measurements were difficult, un-
usual care was exercised in perform
ing the task. The difficulty of this
test is apparent when we are told that
In some cases the resistance Of a coil
using binder was less by a fraction
Of an ohm than a coil to which no
binding material was applied. Gen.
orally, however, the absence of
binder contributed to the slow loss"
characteristics of tuning coil.
Various binding materials showed
varying resistance at different radio
frequencies. Examples are quoted
At 800 kilocycles, coil with no binder
offered a resistance Of 80 Ohms; col
lOdion, 3.8 ohms; commercial insulat-
ing varnish B, SO ohms; commercial
insulating varnish A, 3.S ohms; shell
lac, 81 ohms; parafin, 80 ohms. At
LOO kiloogcles. no binder, 1913 ohms;
collodion, 10 ohms; commercial In
sulating B, 1913 ohms; commercial In
sulating varnish A, 10.1 ohms; shell
lac, liza ohms; paraf1n, 11.8 ohms.
At 1,4OO kilocycles, no binder, 1872
Ohms; cOllodion 1872 Ohms; CONNER
cial insulating varnish B, 14.6 ohms;
commercial insulating varnish A, 14.7
ohms; shellac 1871 ohms; paraffin,
1877 ohms. At a radio-frequency Of
1,5O0 kilocycles, no binder, 14.2 ohms;
collodion, 14.4 ohms; commercial in
,sulating varnish B, 15.9 ohms; COM
mercial insulating Svarnish A, 1874
ohms; shellac, 17.2 ohms, paraffin, 1876
ohms.
These results, as well as additional
evidence, are responsible for the radio
laboratory of the bureau of standards,
in drawing up the following conclu-
sion: "All the insulating materials
which were used as binders caused
very slight increases in the resistance
Of the coils. Collodion seems best,
and also has the inherent advantage
of drying rapidly after application to
the coil. This is of especial advantage
in the construction Of a bank-wound
coil"

The principal feature of the circuit
shown, which is of my own origin,
writes William L. Travis in Radio
Digest. is that summer static is re-
duced to practically nothing. Yet, the
signal strength is greater than any of
several regenerative sets that ! have
tried. This. think. is due to 6he vari
able resistance in the aerial circuit.
Its selectivity is as good as a well
made, five-tube, tuned radio-frequency
set, while it's DIX record is as good as
my neutrodyne. When properly ad-
justed and tuned to any wave length,
/ have found its tone quality to be SUI
perior to any set I have heard.
The only time am annoyed with
ether disturbances is when an electri-
cal storm is within a radius of five
miles. Ordinary statics while very an

erative circuits, is not troublesome on
this one.
The potentiometer shown is Of 400
ohms resistance. Only the arm and
one Of the end terminals are used.
Coils L and Ii are spider webs. Tweh-
ty-four turns of the secondary are
wound on, then the primary of 10
turns, and finally the remaining twen-
ty-four turns Of the secondary. Both
coils are wound clockwise, and both
are No. % double silk-covered wire.
The crystal detector may be either
fixed or variable. When the variable
condenser in the aerial circuit and the
potentiometer are adjusted to the
aerial being used they can be left
alone, which leaves only two controls
to tune. The. potentiometer may be
used as a volume control and to con-
troll oscillation.
