What is the chief cause of in reference in radio receiving sets and how can 1t be overcome? A. The chief cause of interfer- cnce Is the use of aerials that are too long.

In extreme cases oe interference no ground should be used but a counterpo oiso stead, which is an aerial located us ually below the regular one. The coUnterpoise should be carefully in- sulated throughout as well as the aerial. That method of putting ur aerials gives greater sharpness in tuning and increases the signal length.

the name of the American justice upon that body,
 The Permanent Court of Inter. national Justice has been sponsored for half a century by American policy. and the first American to do so was Ellhu Burritt, the learn. ed blacksmith of New Britain, Conn.
 American delegations to the Hague conferences of 1899 and 1907 labored necessarily for such a tri. bunal; but 1t was left for the Lea. guo of Nations to sponsor tho nam. ing of the committee of information. al jurists that drew up tho proto. col establishing the court.
 The Courts jurisdiction comprises three classes of cases. Tho first two classes concern the League alone, relating to interpretations of the Peace Treaty. The remainder of the Courts Jurisdiction Is vague, com prlslng "all cases which the parties refer to It."
 In other words, If tho United States or any other nation did not care to refer a dispute to the Cour; the latter would not have iurlsIic- ton over it. There are some such cases in every nation that public opinion would not permit the Court 10 arbitrate; but in the majority of | minor cases. some Of which have led to wars, public opinion in nearly all cases might welcome the Courts jurisdiction. The last such dispute settled was that between England and Turkey over the Mosul district in Iraq, both countries agreeing 10 the Courts jurisdiction.
 The World Court is about five years old. The jurists who met at The Hague to establish 1t devised a method Of electing judges which was acceptable to large and small powers alike. The plan adopted was to have the League Council, which is dominated by the large powers, and the League Assembly, which is dominated by the little nations, vote separately, independently and con. currently, and thus elect the judges Eleven regular and four deputy judges were elected to the Court in September, 1921.
 The United States participated ir the Hague tribunal of bygone day rather prominently without losing it's isolation and without engendcr. ing the alarm of citizens generally The World Court in sense is { continuation of the Hague tribunals on larger and more important scale, and in the opinion of many observers American adherence tt the Court, with the distinct rcscr vations enumerated, will scarcel, change our attitude toward Europ' } one iota.
 Joining the World Court unde these reservations is more of | formality than a step of grea practical consequence. But the nor al effect to the world will be con siderable.

HOUSING PROBLEM PERPLExING: HOMES WILL BE OPENED
 TO VISITORS

PARIS, Dec. F. (P)-The task of providing accommodation for the 3O- % members of the American Legion expected in Paris for the convention next September, is receiving the at tention of hotel men, city officials and private individuals.
 The latest suggestion has been of- ferd by former Lieutenant Jacques Pericard, the man who before Verdun emitted the now world famous cry to his company, Arise, ye dead, and at them!"
 M. Pericard asks that 10000 citizens of Paris each offer one or two rooms of their apartments from September r to 25 to the American visitors.
 The responses have been made en- thusiastic, although September is a bad month for such a plan. Many Parisians are away from the city, either in the mountains or at the sea- shore, and their apartments are clos ed. M. Pericard, however, expects to arrange for accommodations for 10000 or 15,0O0 American Legionaires in this manner The hotels will be able to look after the remainder.

 The sixth ward councilman later said he will not drop the matter. but will insist on ha ing it acted upon by the common council at its next meeting. Sablotsky yesterday criti- cized Judge Kirkham, the corpora tion counsel. for not personally de- lending the city in the suit brought by the Donnelly Brick Co. Further criticism was aimed at employment of outside attorneys in preference to local lawyers. and the action of the finance committee also came in for it's share of complaint, the council man insisting that the committee had no right to pay the bill with out presenting it to the common council.
 Mayor Reads Veto Message.
 Alderman Judd was called to the chair when Mayor Weld took the floor to read his veto to parking ordinances adopted at the last meet ing.
 The mayor explained that the resolution adopted does not, in his opinion, express the sentiment of the council in the matter of West Main street parking. He suggested the following parking rules: North side of West Main street from Main "a No cht,, e~t ct te ,;,,,, toe West Main street, from Washington to Cedar street, 30 minutes. An ex- ception to this law Is the section of the street in front of the Baptist church, where five minute parking is planned.
 A resolution of Councilman Frank Zapatka that the board of finance appropriate money to place park in the Washington school grounds was tabled one month.
 This action was taken in anticipa- ton of transfer of the title from the school board to the park depart ment.
 Councilman w. S. Warner urged that the board of public works be asked to relocate lights on South Burritt street.
 A resolution to improve the road way leading to Beth Alom cemetery was forwarded to the board of pub lie works on motion of Councilman Sablotsky.
 Several claims for damages to automobiles were referred to the claims committee and the corpora tion counsel.

Decentralization of
 I, C. C. Is Suggested

New York, Nov. IS R1The na- tional industrial traffic league, com- posed of shippers throughout the country, at it's annual convention yesterday decided to investigate the advisability of a decentralization of the interstate commerce commits sion.
 A questionnaire submitted by Congressman Hoch. member of the interstate commerce committee, in the house of representatives. was used as the basis for resolution authorizing the appointment of a committee Ito make a thorough study of the transportation act and the practical operation of the regp- latory powers committed to the in terstate commerce commission"
 In the discussion of the resolution it was said by R. c. Filbright. chair man of the associations legislative committee. that, because of the nu- merous laws which have been pass ed by congress, concerning the regu- lation of common carriers and in- vestigation of their operation by the interstate commerce commission, the task of that body has become almost impossible.
