EXCAVATION OF
 OLD RUINS STARTS
Once Great City of Herculaneum
 Will Be Restored

Herculaneum, Italy, May 17 (UP) king Victor swung pick and handled shovel yesterday to in- augurate the resumption of excava- tions on the site of the ancient city of Herculaneum. The ceremony was witnessed by civil and military authorities, many American tourists and 39 foreign newspaper corre- spondents, all joining with the large crowd of Italians present in giving his majesty an ovation.
 After listening to an address of welcome by Director General of Fine Arts Colasanti, King Victor deliv- cred his speech. He said that Italy did not expect to find at Herculan- cum any immense artistic riches or literary treasures. yet he was sure that the undertaking would be abundantly rewarded by valuable contributions to the sum Of human knowledge.
 King Victor then seized a shovel and performed the traditional cere- iioiiy VI tuA iliIiS, lilV iilSL SllONc LII of earth. Then, with a pick the king struck blow against an in- side wall of the so-called House of the Skeleton,' which recently was unearthed. The blow symbol ized resumption of the excavations. Afterward, the king visited the old excavation site as well as the areas excavated during the past few weeks. Among the ancient creations recently unearthed was a we'll pre- served mosaic floor which attracted the kings attention. His majesty boarded a destroyer and returned to Naples.
 Excavation Of the buried city of Herculaneum has been urged by sci

RAIN VETS DOWN
 MARBLE SHOOTERS
Forces Postpontmat Of Games
 at Smith School

Rain again caused the postpone ment of games yesterday afternoon in the Herald Junior Achievement" marble shooting tournament Tho referee just arrived at the LeV Q. smith school where the games were to be played when heavy shower drove everyone to shelter and soaked the playing field.
 Since -xames have already been scheduled for the Valentine B. Chamberlain school this afternoon and at the Roosevelt school tomor- row night the postponed games at the Smith school will probably be played at 3:3O o'clock Friday after noon. If 1t can possibly be ar- ranged 1t is hoped to play at the Smalley school this week and we will soon have news concerning the pro- gress of Dominic Cartelll, the 1926 champion, who was pupil at the Smalley school.
 Did you ever see a jelly fish? An angel fish? A sea horse? If you would like to view these strange creatures of the ocean come along with the Herald marble editor to Atlantic City next June. He will take you to the Million Dollar Pier where two hauls of salt water sea life are made each day and are ex- plained by Captain Young, the famous mariner.
 This millionaire sea captain loves boys and he never tires of telling the marble champions about the little known wonders of the deep with which he is familiar.
 He is a romantic figure. His home is in an exquisite chalet built of terra-cotta and perched amid a little garden at the extreme end of the pier. About this garden stand groups of beautiful statuary which the captain has garnered in his voyages around the world. Within the enclosure is the man. moth aquarium where the freakish angel fish. dog fish and other marine creatures swim about. The myriad Of colored lights which gleam above. transform the million dollar pier into beauteous picture torn from some forgotten book from fairyland.
 It is you to whom this opportu- nifty of 2 lifetime beckons. If you want to know the millionaire sea captain as friend. if you wish to see the strange sea life that you have read about in school. if you wish to drink in the salt tang of the air. quarter mile from land on this immense pier, there Is just one way to make your dreams come true.

For Flag Day

One of the incest ofIits possessions
is Flag Day which has for all of us
an element of glory and for the, child
of school age thrill iunsurpassed.
A nice way to celebrate the day in
the home is to decorate, white frost
ed cake with tiny flags or to, place a
centerpiece of flags ON the table.
For the schoolrooma exercises which
have to do with our flag are most APP
propriate. In nearly all books of
poetry are verses about the flag
which may be learned and recited.
There are also a number of alag
drills" the directions for which are
available to every teacher.
Children learn things much more
easily if they are interested and in
terest to most youngsters means
some amusement even when learning
the lesson of patriotism and love of
country.

It's Humorous Side

The situation in which the radio
commission finds itself is not without
its humorous side. The various in
terests in the radio field have all laid
their plans before the commission.
Many of these plans are carefully
worked out and have undisputed merit
but no one of them could be adopted
without violating one or more of the
limits which the commission is charg-
ed to maintain. In other words, the
purpose. scope and policy defined
the act which created it that the COM
mission is tied in almost every step
it may try to take.
The plan, so far, which in view of
all of these limitations seems to be
the only possible one to pursue, is to
temporarily relicense for short periods
of time all of the existing 1872 sta
lions and then to consider the case of
each individual station. This is being
0OIiO Will Ollly lew ClldllSHS DGIHS
made now and then in certain very
necessary instances. Also, those sta
tions which have pirated Canadian
wavelengths have been ordered to seek
new channels, which first must be ap-
proved of course by the radio COM
mission.
Everything considered, the task of
these five men on the Radio Com
mission is anything but easy or pleas
ant. Listeners should bear with them
patiently in their attempts to satisfy
the demands of so many interests.
An idea of one of the tasks put up
to the commissioners is obtained
from the report that the newly APP
pointed commission has received a
letter from a red hot fan demanding
that they take immediate steps to
eliminate static.

FEDERAL RADIO COMMISSION

FEDERAL RADlO oOMMlooio-N
Now that the United States Fed
eral Radio Commission has been form
ed and has commenced its operation,
many listeners are expecting to find
an immediate relief to their radio
problems. 1t should hardly be neces-
sary to point out however, that any
situation which has been allowed to
reach the condition in which radio
broadcasting finally found itself, can
not possibly be remedied, with fair
ness to all, without undergoing slow
and tedious process.
If the commission continues to
maintain its worthy policy of service
to the listeners with fairness to the
broadeasters, it will not be at all sur
prising if it takes fully five years to
show an appreciate improvement. In
this intervening period, there is
strong possibility that technical i'm
provements in transmitting and re-
ceiying apparatus will do as much to
make the present situation tolerable
as the commission may do to improve
the situation. However, in conse-
quence of these two tendencies, the
radio outlook of today is more en-
couraging than it has been for sew
eral years, as the listener now seems
assured of a steady though slow i'm
movement.

CD. H. R. asks "Does it make
much difference, in constructing the
loop for a receiving set, whether the
loop is round, square or some other
shape? Also, if the loop has an OBJ
long shape, would it be best to use
the narrow or the long side vertical ~
Ans.-The shape of the loop does
not make a great deal of difference
provided that the turns are well spac-
ed to keep the distributed capacity
low. In an oblong loop it would make
no difference which side of the loop
was vertical.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

o.. S. says: l wish to use a
Tx 30 power tube on the end of my
present A. F. amplifier but cannot
get a high enough filament voltage
from my storage battery. How can
alternating current be used for this
purpose?"
Ans.-You can connect the second
airy of a bell ringing transformer to
the filament of this last tube. The
voltage should be regulated by a
rheostat in the primary of the trans
former. The grid return from the
power tube should connect through
the C battery to the center tap of a
fairly high resistance across the tube
filament. The center tap should be
variable and be closely adjusted to
reduce the AC hum to minimum.
The Carbon County news. [volume] (Red Lodge, Mont.) 1924-1931, 1927-06-02

Q.-L. c. A. asks "What is the ac-
ton of constant current transform
er in keeping the current to fixed
value?"
Ans.-The secondary winding of the
transformer fits loosely over the iron
core and is suspended over the pri-
mary by cable and a counterweight.
When the current grows greater the
increased repulsion between the pri-
mary and secondary causes the sec
ondary to move farther away from
the primary, which action naturally
causes the voltage induced in the sec
ondary to become less. When the cur
rent is too low, the repulsion between
the two windings decreases and they
come closer together again.
