An Insomnia Cure.

A few days later the wild-eyed man
was found asleep at his desk,
crumpled up in his chair like a crush

him rudely and Kissed into his ear:

OUR RADIO COLUMN

This week, so that -e! ray I'M
derstand more easily W..a5 is 10 fol-
low we are going to give a few funda-
mental facts on elementary electric
ity. Fundamental facts of electri-
city that you must know before you
can understand the functions of the
different parts of Radio Set.
In many ways electricity seems to
behave like the fluid such as water.
If, for instance you connect battery
to motor by system of wiring the
battery may be likened to a pump,
the motor to water wheel, and the
wire, to system of pipeing going
to the pump outlet and to the intake
of the water wheel and back again,
from the water wheel outlet to the in
take of the pump.
AS long as the pump is in operation
there will be a continuous flow thru
the system, likewise as long as the
battery functions there will be con-
tinuous flow of electricity through
the electric circuit.
Conductors and Insulators
Substance through which the So
called electric current can flow are
called conductors. Those thru which
it cannot flow are called insulators.
In reality every substance conducts
electricity to some extent, but those
substances that conducts it very
slightly are called insulators. The
opposition to the electric flow due
to the material of the conductor is
called resistance. The unit of resis.
lance is known as the OHM. The
greater the cross sectional area OF
I the conductor the less the resistance
and wise versa. Other things being
constant resistance is directly pro.
portional to the length of the con.
| ductor. Turning again to our anaol
ogy-a pipe is good conductor OF
water, sponge not nearly so good
and a flower pot may be called an in.
sulator, although water really does
soak through unglazed pottery. The
friction of the pipe opposing the flow
of water, corresponds to the electri.
cal resistance. The bigger the pipe
| the greater it will be.
Current and Potentials
We measure the speed with which
water flows in gallons per minute
Now you cannot measure electricity
in gallons, you must use another
quantity called amperes, to measure
its rate of flow. One ampere is a
flow of unit electricity quantity per
second. In order for the water to
flow in a given direction there must
be some sort of pressure in that di-
rection usually measured in pounds.
The electrical potential, correspond
ing to the water pressure, is measur-
ed in volts. The current of electri-
city flowing in a circuit is proper
tional to the potential across that
circuit divided by the resistance of
the circuit. Amperes of current equal
volts potential divided by ohms resis-
lance. This is called ohms law. 1t
follows form, that is, if there are
two or more conducting paths over
which current may flow it will di-
vide itself inverally proportional to
the resistances. That is the greatest
current will be in the conductor of
least resistance and vice versa.

sharper but will also cut down tn
volume somewhat.

Something new happens in radio
every day and the latest novelty is
coming new words.
For example take the word "Itan-
nicnic," which now is filed away in
the archives of WLW, the Crosley
station at Cincinnati. That word
can't be found in any language, in
Guiding the Scandinavian. It origi-
mated in the mind of a WLW fan
who suggested "Itannicnic Band" as
name for the stations Mystery Or
chestra, which goes on the air every
Monday night.
The word looks like it might be an
Indian term for static but it was Gre
ated merely by reversing the spelling
of Cincinnati.
Another fan, whose mind worked
along the same lines, offered the sug-
gestion of "Ilsorc Orchestra" by re-
versing an incorrect spelling of the
name Crosley.

poor. Would advise you to cut down

If man is banker or lawyer
you can depend on that his favorite
sport is golf. If he is an enthusiast
tic college alumnus the chances are
that he'd mortgage his house and lot
to see Thanksgiving football game.
But how do you know by mans
business activities what kind of ra-
dio entertainment he likes?
Fred Smith, director of WLW, the
Crosley station at Cincinnati, has set
about to find out.
Smith has written to representative
bakers and candlestick makers to find
men in all walks of life-teachers,
preachers, soldiers, sailors, butchers,
out their favorite broadcasts.
These will be put on the air over
WLW with due credit given to the
professions or trades that offered the
suggestions.
1t may reveal that college students
like opera and bankers like jazz. You
never can tell.

this letter and defended the action of
his friends as entirely proper. 1T
seemed to be that one could not en-
terrain proposals Of this character
and retain self respect and ! refused
to listen to such suggestions or 10
discuss them in any way believing
that a proper regard for the welfare
of the party required the determine
ton without delay Of the strength of
those who would betray it in such a
way.
Very similar threats of refusal to
support the Republican ticket were
also made by another gentleman who
has enjoyed the highest honors from
the Republican party in this State
and II was equally impossible to con-
slider the stipulations which he made
as condition for extending his sup
port
1t seems proper that the Repub-
licans of the State of Maine should
be acquainted with these facts in or
der as accurately as possible TO ap-
praise the results. This would indi-
cate even more general Endorsement
Of Republican principles than the re-
cent vote would show as it would
presumably have been even more
favorable IL personal confederation
had not played so substantial a part
Republicans in the nation and par
ticularly lin Massachusetts may well
be greatly encouraged by the attitude
of the citizens of Maine.

crops of which Maine is very proud
The Pomological Society opposes
that '-dividual exhibits be made by
some Of its members, specia on
some Of the more common varieties.
For example, one member will show
Macintosh Reds and some one else

we have to offer. teG
Maine certified seed potatoes will
be displayed in such a manner as to
show the distribution Of the same

to which 1t is shipped.
The committee hopes to make this
exhibit exceptionally good in honor
Of an organization so large and sue
cessful as the National Grange.
Practically all of the agricultural or
CARNATIONS in the state have offered
their services to the committee and
with everyone so willing to do their
part. it seems as though a real ezhi-
