Scores Are Called To Testify
On Change in voIStead Law

Misunderstanding is staging q
showdown on the question of the sue
cess or failure Of prohibition enforce
ment. A subcommittee of the senate
Judiciary committee began a series Of
hearings lasting II days on various
bills proposing either amendment or
repeal of the eighteenth amendment
and the Volstead act Some two score
witnesses-social workers. labor lead
ers, prohibition directors, judges, dis
trict attorneys and high citizens-have
been summoned to appear in the first
six days.
For six days the senators will listen
to testimony and arguments designed
to convince the committee that prohi-
bition does not prohibit, that the at
tempt to suppress the use of alcoholic
beverages has proved a failure, that
defiance of the law is prevalent and
no longer regarded as involving moral
terpiture, and that the ravages of poi
son liquor are tragic. Then for six
days the drys will have their inning.
They will cite statistics and submit
testimony to prove that the illicit con-
sumption of intoxicating beverages to-
day is but "a drop in the bucket of
the tipping that prevailed before the
eighteenth amendment was adopted.

the highest broadcasting station. A
good wave trap may be made from
one of the antenna couplers with con-
denser units that are being sold for
use in a tuned radio frequency set.
Three methods of connecting the wave
trap are shown in the diagram. When
in series with the antenna, as in No. 1
or No. the wave trap may be set at
the wave length of the interfering sta
ton and that station will not interrupt
until the tuning of the trap has been
changed. When across the input to
the receiver as in No. 2, trap will let
into the set only the signal that is de-
sired and makes tuning somewhat more
complicated, but when the user be-
comes more accustomed to using it he
will find that it helps considerably.
Converting Into Wavemeter.
A wave trap, besides its use as a
filter, can be conveniently converted
into wave meter by celebrating 1t In
wave lengths. 1t need only be placed
near one of the coils of the receiving
set to indicate the frequency of the
incoming signals. When the wave
trap condenser is turned a sharp de-
crease in signal strength for the nom
regenerative receiver will be noted,
and a click will be noted with an os-
cillating receiver when the wave trap
is in consonance with the circuit of
the receiving set. By celebrating the
condenser settings from a few of the
well-known broadcasting stations a
curve may be drawn showing the rela-
ton between the condenser settings
and the wave length at the various dial
readings.-St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

What 1t Really Costs to
Operate Your Radio Set

Although it appears to be an ex-
ceedingly difficult figure to arrive at,
the calculation based upon informa-
ton given by one of the outstanding
concerns of the country leads to the
conclusion that the "B" battery cur
rent for the operation Of a radio set
costs only from two to three cents an
hour. Dry cell "B" batteries were
used exclusively In these tests.
The opinion has been hazarded that
on a three-tube receiver operated
without a &c" battery, the "B" bat
terry upkeep will be approximately
two cents an hour. On the same re-
ceiver, but using CO. battery, the
combined "B" and "C' battery upkeep
expense, it is said, would be less
than one cent an hour.
On five-tube receiver using the
larger heavy duty "B" battery, the up
keep expense would be approximately
three cents an hour. Using the same
set, but combining the "B" and "C'
batteries, the expense would be APP
proximately two cents an hour.

waged bitter fight until the end to
escape the moose for the murder of a
New Britain policeman, died on Con-

Father Michael P. Barry, the spiritual
adviser of his last weeks on earth, ac-

spending the last four hours alone
with him in the death cell. Chapman,
whose real name was George Char

walked quietly to his place in the blue
