ONLY SEVEN TEEN
DAYS LEFT

E=lARK RHoADS, head OF the
I'M State automobile license
- department, reports that
only about half OF the Marion
County automobile owners have
applied for 1925 license plates.
Only seventeen days are left until
Feb. 10. the deadline allowed by
courtesy for last years plates.
Apparently the ides OF Febru-
airy will witness the same hectic,
breathless last-minute rush for
new tags as occurred last year and
the year before and so on clear
back to the year auto license plates
were first required.
A few days ago Indiana motor
lists were shocked in Cincinnati
because they were arrested by the
Ohio cops for not having 1926 tags.
on their cars. They felt terribly
abused. Frantic appeals were made
to the Hoosier Motor Club and
Secretary Of State to intercede in
their behalf.
Why do they merit sympathy
and help? Nineteen twenty-six
plates have been available since
early in December. All a motorist
has to do is to go to the State
house and get them-upon expend-
iture of modest fee.
Procrastination Is one Of our
greatest accomplishments. We
don't do today what we can put
off until tomorrow. II auto own
ers were given until June Is to get
their new plates there would still
be the same last-minute rush and
the same distress over an arrest
for failure to have new tags on
June IA.
The world doesn't really move
It is pushed after delaying as long
as possible. After writing which.
I'll go up and net nice, new green
1926 plates for my fiivver. But
what's the hurry2 There are sew
enteen days in which to do 1t.

ACQUITTED
AND FINED

TOUR Indianapolis policemen,
suspended about three
0 weeks ago on charges of
accepting petty brides Of drinks
Of mule, cigarets and cigars from
the proprietor Of soft drink
place, have been acquitted and
returned to duty by the board Of
safety after hearing.
Probably the decision Of the
board of safety and the reinstate-
ment Of the patrolmen was in ac-
cordance with the facts brought
out at the trial-strict justice. For
o. D. Haskell, president of the
board, declared, members Of the
police and fire department can
expect no mercy from this board
If they are found to be drinkers.
either on or off duty"
But though found not guilty
the four patrolmen were fined the,
amount OF their pay during the
period of their suspension.
Acquitted and fined; There's a
fine Scotch verdict for you. II they
were innocent Of the charges
which brought their suspension,
why dock their pay for the unjust
suspension? If the charges were
well founded. why reinstate them?
Neither the four policemen af-
fected nor the law-abiding citi-
zen, who dreams Of police force
which will not wink at law viola
tions nor accept petty graft, can
take much comfort from the
boards decision. In effect the
board said. I'VE find you didn't
do it. but don't do 1t again."

me that prohibition is not the way to handle
the problem.

and drinking, unlike in Europe, seems to be re-

Furthermore he might have added-if the
half Of what one hears is true-an astonishly
large number of citizens seem not only to be
seeing their "duty," but doing it passingly
well.

IT'S CHARLESTON
VARIATIONS NOW

~71INE couples took part in the
i'm first Charleston marathon
III staged at an Indianapolis
dance hall Wednesday night.
Three girls tainted. And the win
ming couple hoofed It for eight
hours until breakfast time Thurs
day morning.
That breaks the Charleston rec
ord heretofore claimed by a De-
troit man. who claimed to have
done the locomotor ataxia steps
for an hour and forty-six minutes
continuously But what difference
did II make whether they broke
records or merely their ankles?
To win a Charleston endurance
contest is our idea of a below-zero
accomplishment. We don't find

holders in Who's Who or Dun and

We go in strong for setting en-
durance records. Six-day bicycle
races, piano marathons. Bible-read.
ing marathons and such all stir
our sporting blood. And one mara,
thon contributes about as much to
our alleged civilization as another
of whatever stripe. So 1t isn't
surprising the event OF the hour
in the Charleston marathon--and
lissome youths and maids hop
like a popcorn kernel on hot
skillet for record number Of
hours.
Wouldn't those same iissome
youths and maidens feel they were
victims of unparallel brutality II
they were compelled to wash
dishes or split wood for eight hours

rible cruelty to dumb creatures
that ought to break the heart Of

Some Facts About AuliO- Frequency
TransfOF1ners-Part /.

1t is a. comparably simple matter to
inspect variable condenser, a socket.
a radio-frequency transformer or q
rheostat and determine from its gen.
eral appearance and workmanship the
quality of the product from an electri-
cal standpoint,
1t is not such simple matter, how
ever, to take an audiO-freQuency
transformer, which is completely in
closed in sealed metal shell, and tell
anything about its characteristics
merely by a general inspection of its
external construction.
It is impossible, for instance, to see
the method used in winding the coil
or the kind of wire used for winding;
1t is impossible to see what kind of
iron is used in the core and the man.
ner in which the core is assembled.
and 1t is also impossible TO see whether
or not the winding has been thorough
ly impregnated,
Unless you have a fully equipped
laboratory and have money enough to
spare to subject various makes of
transformers to a thorough test and
take them apart to see how they are
made, you must select your trans
formers on the basis of the reputation
OF the manufacturer.
Advertising for Reference.
One way of determining the reputa-
ton Of a manufacturer is by consult
ing the advertising pages of the radio
section of the newspapers and maya
zines. In most cases a. manufacturer
who has made a good product has
profited by 1t and has been able to in
terest capital to the extent of backing
large advertising campaigns and good
appropriations to keep large labora-
tory stan continually improving the
product.
A manufacturer with money to
spend in developing q good trans
former will usually take as much
pains with the general outside ap-
pearance of a product as he will with
the inside workings, so, in general,
outside appearances is a good indicator
of the quality of product.
The function of a transformer Is to
change the characteristics of cur.
rent such that the factors Of voltage
and amperage are of the desired val.
ues to produce the best results in at
fecting the control feature of the vac
uurrl tube and regulate the flow of the
more powerful auxiliary or bat.
terry current in the plate circuit.
The transformer does not increase
or decrease the total energy which Is
present In the primary circuit, ex.
cent for the slight losses that occur
in the transformer.
