Storm Causes Millions in
DAMAGES ALONG West Coast

Los Angeles-A toll in lives and
property was exacted by the fiercest
storm which has dashed the coast in
two weeks of incessant stormy
weather. Reports from every city
beach settlement from San Francisco,
AIS miles north of Los Angeles, to
Mexico, $50 miles south, and details
of wrecked piers, swamped roads,
railroad washouts, collapsed bridges,
beached ships, and narrow escapes.
The property damage will be millions.
In the San Fernando valley, north
of Los Angeles, Southern Pacific and
pedestrian bridges and 200 feet Of
track were washd out over Big Tun-
junga, the washout breaking the gas
main of the city of Burbank. Prac-
tically the entire southern part OF
California has been drenched by the
rain which has fallen in torrents for
more than So hours. The Santa Fe
trains have been held up at Santa Ana
because of the flooding Of tracks.
Coastal cities from San Diego to San
Ia Barbara reported heavy property
losses from the battering OF wind
dashed breakers. Inland towns re-
ported washouts of bridges, highways
and railroad tracks.

Condensed Resume Of the lmpostant
Events In the Nation and State.
s456,0OO,OOO TAX
CUT is PASSED
Reductions Exceed Limit Set by
Secretary Mellon by
S125,000,000.

Washington-The senate passed the
tax reduction bill, providing saving
of $456,000,000 in taxes this year to
federal taxpayers, and sent it to con-
ference for adjustment of differences
with the house.
Passage of the bill, which came
suddenly and somewhat as surprise
even to senate leaders, is expected to
assure benefits of the proposed tax
cut in the payment of first income tax
installments March Is. Thirty-four
Republicans and "a Democrats voted
for the measure, while six Repub-
1icans, two Democrats and the one
Farmer-Labor member opposed it.
III The administration has declared the
extent of reduction provided by the
bill excessive, but confidence was ex-
pressed at the White House that the
measure, as finally drafted by the con-
ference committee, would lower the
total cuts to within limits acceptable
to President Coolidge.

WHEAT POOLS
FORCES UNITED
Formation of Huge Marketing
Unit Effected at st. Paul
Cooperative Meeting.

st. Paul-The plan of cooperative
organization of wheat pool units, de-
signed eventually to market the bulk
of the worlds wheat and to unity and
standardize pooling operations be-
came realty at the first interna-
tional conference of wheat pools, held
at the ST. Paul Athletic club. The
conference was organized on a perma-
nent basis, scheduled for regular
meetings, by unanimous vote of rs
spokesman for cooperative grain
pools of the United States, Canada
and Australia. Eight of the nine state
wheat pools of the United States were
represented by officials. These pools
are operated in Minnesota, North Da-
kota, South Dakota, Indiana, Nebras-
ka, Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas
The Colorado pool was the only state
unit not represented. Canada sent
Is officers of her three large wheat
marketing combines, in Manitoba,
Saskatchewan and Alberta, and also
a group of delegates from her national
what pool, known as the Canadian Co.
Cooperative Wheat Producers.
One of it's important functions, ac-
cording to w. H. Frederick, secretary
and treasurer of the Minnesota Wheat
Growers COOPERATIVE Marketing as
ISOLATION, will be to obtain complete
and accurate information for the men,
Der units, regarding crops and crop
conditions, available grain supplies
and trade demand from every wheat
producing country in the world.

magnesium Tor whatever agent is
used) is placed on the grid, which
when it vaporizes forms a coating on
the grid as well as on the inside sur
face of the glass.
This coating makes the grid electro
positive to the filament, which is nee
essary If the grid current Is to COM
mence to flow at reasonable grid
bias. Magnesium is one of the most
electro positive metals and it not only
increases the efficiency of the tube,
but also neutraliZes the action of any
impurities that may have been left
in it after it has been exhausted.
The reason for the different colors
in the tube is either because a metal
other than magnesium was used or
it was due to the different impurities
that were in the tube at the time 1t
was heated. The substance on the In
side of the glass Is not pure magnesi-
UNI, but compound of magnesium
formed by magnesium reacting with
the gases in the tube.

The first rheoStat is used as a
volume control, to moderate signal
strength to the desired extent. For
most satisfactory operation, the cor
rect setting of this control may be
determined by trial, and then allowed

In addition TO the apparatus named
above, you will need five sockets, q

complete the set.
The terminals of the radio-fre-
quency transformers are unmarked in
the diagram. The first coil is q

long and short aerials. Both taps are
marked "a" and each should be tried

Suzanne LengIen Wins Title

quest for world supremacy in tennis
has failed-but failed gloriously. The
20-year-old American champion went
down before the racquet wizardy of

the greatest woman tennis player
who ever stepped on court. Suffer
ing from a cash in the knee which
she received in fall, Helen extend

memorable default to Molla Mallory

Two Reasons Why Your
Tubes Are SiIyered

Like all other radio parts, tubes
have been improved to a great ex-
tent. There are numbers of fans who
have wondered why tubes are sill
yered. There are two reasons for this.
We know that 1t is impossible to OBJ
tain a perfect vacuum in tube, and
the remaining air left in it contains
impurities which will not only affect
the results obtained, but will also
cause the characteristics of the tubes
to vary. 1t is necessary, therefore,
that these impurities be removed or
their action nullified so that they do
not affect the action of the. tube. To
accomplish this purpose a small
amount of magnesium or similar
agent is introduced into the tube.
When this becomes hot, it vaporizes
and rapidly combines with the traces
of impurities In the air left in the
tube. 1t Is this vapor of magnesium
that settles on the inside of the tube
and gives it its silver color.
In addition to silvering the tube,
the magnesium forms coating on the
grid. In the making of the tube, the

sketch. Another important point to
note is in winding the ticker. To OBJ
tain the best results care should be
taken to see that all turns are wound
in the same direction and an even
number of turns on each side of the
shaft.
This set will receive approximately
from 1000 to 10000 kilocycles, or from
40 to 80 meters. However, every set
is different and in order to check your
maximum and minimum wave-lengths
you should obtain information from
the standard frequency station as to
when they send test programs, and
with these signals you will be able to
tell exactly what wave-length your set
will cover.
In assembling a short-wave receiver
keep in mind the fact that all leads
should be just as short as you can
make them. If you can get the advice
or assistance of one of the many anna
tours who have successfully built a
short-wave receiver it will be of great
Observation-Disclosures Record.

Is Hurt; 500 Escape Mine Blast

Towhatan, Ohio-Five hundred min
ers marched to safety when terrific
explosion wrecked the main entrance
of the Cleveland & Western Coal Com
pany's new mine here, killing one
miner and injuring 25 others, five per-
haps fatally. The blast rocked the
countryside, striking terror through
out the isolated little village Houses
trembed on their foundations and
panes of glass fell out. Nearby resi-
dents said that as the explosion oc-
Cured, flames shot 100 feet into the
air. Mine officials, believing that
most of the 500 miners who entered
the pit had been entombed, sounded a
statewide alarm, bringing relief trains,
ambulances and crops of physicians
and nurses rushing to the scene.

To Avoid Body Capacity

A good general rule where the OBJ
ject is to avoid body capacity is to
always make that terminal of the In
strument TO which your hand comes
the closest when tuning, at or near
ground potential. AS most circuits
across a coil, the rotor plates should
be the end connected to the filament
circuit. The hand, in effect, comes
closest to these plates since the rotor
plates connect to the shaft and the
shaft carries the dial.
