Two New Effects.
Now if this were the only part Of
the process. the crystal would simply
block off current and there wouldn't {
be anything at all in the way Of
energy to operate the phones. The
fact that the sensitive. portion of the
crystal and the end Of the cat whis-
ker' change temperatures and that
the detector's heat varies In different
spots introduces two new effects
which are believed to explain why
direct current Is generated In the
phone circuit. . ..
When current passes through dis
similar metals. as between cat whis-
ker' wire and the galera crystal, heat
may he generated or dissipated. And
If the various parts of the crystal are
at different temperatures an electrical
current will be generated. This cur
rent is direct. And, that is what you
need for operation of the phones.
I'm other words, the crystal kills
one kind of the current, but has to
generate another. OF course the sec
ond current follows the first enough
to carry the pulsations which repre-
sent the variations in electrical vibra-
tions--the signals.
"A crystal does not kill off all the
oscillations of the alternating current
applied to it. but the direct current it
creates is sufficiently powerful to
drown out the other. Altogether, YOU
see, it's all very simple. That's why
this form of detector is called crystal

RADIO GOSSIP AND NEWS

A thorough grounding in radio Isl
one Of the features OF the education
In the various trade schools operated
by the Navy. where thousands OF
men annually are trained for civilian
trades.
The underlying principles of the
trades taught in the Navy are identical
with those taught by civilian schools
in connection with the same trades
The naval radio man must know the
same funda mental principles of radio
as thoroughly as men following SIM
.lar trades in civil fife Much OF
the practical work of the trade taught
In the Navy schools likewise Is
Identical with the practical instruction
In any civilian trade school, but in
the Navy every effort Is made to
familiarize the man with the same
types OF equipment and the same
types OF jobs that he will find on board
ship.
In every trade school the equip
ment used for the instruction of the
men is the standard equipment of the
Navy ships in service. The men are
drilled in operation until they can
send and receive at the rate of 20
words per minute. They also study
the theory Of radio and learn to
repair and upkeep the same type of
radio equipment they will find on
ships and at land radio. stations. The
school training is followed by actual
experience on vessels and at land
stations. so that the men selecting
the radio service soon become eX-
perts in the fullest sense of the world.

receivers at n reasonable trade-in value
has been indorSed by - per cent of the
Western radio dealers, according to a

cation. many OF whom assert that 1t
Is beneficial to their business and that

eral times. The sale Of an old receiver
Is believed tn aid mat eria lly in creating
market for new set. Just as the
sale Of crystal set often inspires the
purcha ser to buy a tube receiver, or
perhaps a five-tuhe outfit.
Suggestions as to the method of dis
posing of sets turned I'm as part pay
ment on new outfits include the Gre.
alton OF a central resale bureau in all
principal communities. Most of those
following or advocating this practice
believe that an allowance Of 30 per
cent of the resale value should he
made to customers buying new sets.
admitting that overhauling and repair

DR.. FEWKES AND HIS
WORK AT ELDEN RUIN

For some months during the pres
ent summer, DR.. j. Walter Fewkes,
Of the Bureau of American Ethnol-
ogy, was engaged in the excavation
of Elden Ruin or prehistoric dwell
ings located some six miles east of
Flagstaff, Arizona.
We visited DR.. Fewkes at his work
during two days Of July and found
the work we'll advanced. There Were
many rooms completely excavated
showing stone walls from four to
six or eight feet in length. No parts
of the roof structure remain such
as we usually find in cliff dwellings.
There are many pieces of pottery and
matatas, or stones for grinding corn
as well as other primitive household
articles. The ruins are estimated to
be about 800 years old.
Adjacent to the ruins was the
burying ground of these Indians, who
are claimed by the Hopi as their an.
cestors. One hundred sixty-seven
graves were opened and many Of the
better preserved skeletons removed
to the National Museum in Washing
ton Much turquoise jewelry was
found and there were usually food
bowls in the graves.
Not the least item of interest in
connection with the present explora-
ton is the man Dr. Fewkes. When
asked how he first became interested
in archaeology, he said that he was
a sophomore student of Louis Aggasiz
at Harvard in 1875. DR.. Fewkes was
d student at the first summer school
ever conducted for teachers. Aggasi2
was the organizing head and the
school was held at Penikise Island. II
was of this leader and of this school
that Whittier wrote the poem, "The
Masters Silent Prayer" in 1873. In
the faculty Of Harvard during DR.
Fewkes' student days, were Oliver
Wendell Holmes, Henry w. Longfel-
low, Asa Gray and James Russell
lowell. We agree with Dr. Fewkes
that perhaps a group of teachers and
leaders such as this probably has not
since been equalled in any American
university.
DR.. Fewkes, at the ripe age of
seventy-seven, is active in the pursuit
of his loved science, alert in his in
terest in humanity and carries his
genial soul with him in his daily rou-
tine. May his digging days be well
prolonged and his rewards most
abundant.-Th Native American.

GOVERNOR HUNT IS 333
VOTES AHEAD OF CLARK

Whether E. S. Clark, republican
candidate for governor, defeated by
Governor G. w. P. Hunt in the No
vember 2 election, would demand q
recount of all votes cast for that Of
flee was a moot question yesterday
as final tabulation of official figures
from the fourteen county seats show
ed Hunt to have established lead of
333 votes.
Late last week Mr.. Clark's cam
paign headquarters indicated that a
recount would be asked. Yesterday
Mr. Clark himself refused to either
affirm or deny the report that the
secretary of state would be asked to
conduct re-tally of the vote, but
promised that statement relative TO
the question would be issued later.
The count on the two candidates
yesterday stood Hunt, 39,988, Clark,
1855, not counting Concho precinct
III Apache county, containing about
100 votes. The tally sheets in this
precinct had been sealed up with the
counted ballots in a container and
therefore could not be listed in the
official canvass by the board of SUI
pervisors. Apache returned small
majority for Clark. This precincts
vote can be re-counted only through
a court order.

are in good shape. The report from
Hclbrook is to the effect that live
stock is still in good condition. Poor

as only fair. Absence of rain for a
considerable period has caused the
water supply to run low in the Selig-

ample and adequate service between
the two cities ard announcement
was made that on November IA this
service will be improved.
The commission declares that the
railroad company should be protect
ed in the same manner as would be

were received. Reference also was

ANOTHER RECORD GAIN
IN VISITORS TO CANYON

According to conditions at the
Grand Canyon national park the past
month, the travel barometer forecasts
the largest tourist travel on record
during the coming year." it was stat
ed by G. c. Bolton, acting superin-
tendent Of the park.
According to Mr.. Bolton the tourist
travel to the Grand Canyon can be
considered as indicating general con-
dition throughout the entire west, as
the park is open the entire year, and
is located close to an all year cross
country highway and the main line of
a transcontinental railroad. There are
no great centers Of population near
the park which will cause the figures
to indicate local rather than general
conditions, as records show that local
travel does not count heavily in the
totals. It is for this reason that park
officials consider the Grand Canyon
as being a tourist barometer
During the month of October just
passed, total of 1881 persons en-
tered the park compared to 1920 a
year ago. This was an Increase OF
1851 or Sc per cent.
Over half the total arrived in pri-
vate autos the total being 7,071 vis-
itors in 2,371 autos an increase over
last year of 68 per cent. Rail travel
increased from 4,704 last year to
6,775 or A per cent.
There is every indication that the
major tourist movement in the United
States has shifted from the southeast
to the southwest, and the heavy in
crease in traffic the past month will
no doubt continue throughout the
year.
