QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Of. C. F. asks: "Can ordinary tap
water be treated in any way to MAKE
it safe for use in storage batteries ~
Ans.-I know of no way of treating
the water except by distilling it.
o.. G. says: when turned on
the filaments in my set the other eve
ming one of the filaments started to
give off white smoke on the inside
Of the tube and then slowly burned
out. What was the cause of this %
Ans.-It is evident that the air leak
ed into the tube, and when the filament
was heated it oxidized and burned in
two. The air probably got in through
a small crack in the glass where the
tube was sealed after pumping.
Q.-E. K. M. wants to know: Glow
much current should there be in the
plate circuit of UX201A tube that is
being used as an audio frequency am
plifer?"
Ans. There will usually be from
to milliamps in the plate circuit
depending upon the exact values of
A, B and c battery voltages.

No Radio for Siam.

The man without country had no.
thing on Siam which is "the country
without radio" Radio is entirely I'M
known in Siam and radio receivers
are barred from the country by law,
according to Charles H. Crooks, a mis-
sionary.
Ellis Majesty, King Pracha Tipok,
absolute monarch of Siam, has forbid
den the use of radio for fear of Chi
nese Belshevik propaganda" explains
Mr.. Crooks.
For those who are hopelessly afflict-
ed with the radio bug, Siam would be
a good place to take a rest cure.

RADIO PHONING WITH EUROPE

The radiophone service between New
York and London which was success
fully inaugurated at the beginning Of
the year is testimony Of the con-
tinued advancement of the ant. 1t
is, however, but an Indication Of the
many possibilities which may come
from still greater improvements along
that line. The tests so far have been
highly successful and the second day
showed marked Improvement over
the first On that day sixteen calls
were completed, the voices carrying
with distinctness which amazed some
of the callers
The static which cut in time and
again on the first talks, faded to a
point where it was scarcely noticeable,
and officials of the American Tele-
phone company reported that the first
days of the service had developed no
difficulties worthy of mention.
One of the first calls was from the
editor of London Newspaper who
talked to Gov. Alfred E. Smith on the
radiophone at 1902 a. m. The first
advertisements to be telephoned from
New York for publication in London
dailies went forward in time to get in
the later editions of that days issue.
Other communications were for or
ders for goods, for confirmation OF
deals and for just "chats." AS an il
lustration of this last, one member OF
the 'ttalkative sex" is said to have
chatted $500 worth to a London friend.
This was for 20 minute talk at $500
per minute.
Gets Japanese DIX on Photograph.
Records.
At o'clock in the morning on re-
cent date, Mr.. Williams of San Fran
cisco, Cal. was toying with the dials
of his radio set, five tube Neutrodyne
when suddenly he heard voices in
strange language. This was followed
by music which he did not recognize.
The volume was so strong that he
placed his loudspeaker before the pto-
nograph recording device THAT he mad
in his room and took the whole pro-
gram on the records.
He suspected that the music was
coming from a Japanese station, al
though he could not understand the
language The following day he got
into communication with three Japan
csc gentlemen who came to his home
and listened to the music as it was
reproduced on the monograph. They
Immediately recognized it and stated
that the program had come from sta
tion JOAK of Tokyo.
Immediately Mr.. Williams commun-
icated with the station at Tokyo mad
received confirmation from that sta
broadcasteo seventeen hours ahead Of
San Francisco time.
Radio Optimism.
In contrast to the thorough verifi-
cation of the DIX received by MIR. Will
Jams, there is the story of the eastern
listener who wrote he following letter
to a Los Angeles stations:
~ listened to your program one
night last week, or maybe it was the
week before. I'm sure it was Los An
geles, because | distinctly heard the
song California, Here l come, Please
send me verifcation stamp"

NURSES MAY STRIKE
Graduate Nurses at Washington
Emergency Hospital Threaten to
Walk Out Tomorrow,

Washington, Feb. 20 P-Threats
Of a strike tomorrow of graduate
nurses at Emergency hospital, one
of the largest in the capital, because
Of alleged inefficient management
and the placing Of nurses from other
cities in responsible positions in the
institution are not being taken serf-
ously, by hospital officials.
Nurses belonging to the hospitals
alumnae association object particu-
larly to requirements imposed by
Miss Janet Fish, superintendent of
nurses. Miss Fish, daughter of
Representative Hamilton Fish, Jr.,
of New York, is said to have made
several changes recently in an eff
fort to raise the nursing standard
and increase efficiency at the hos
pital.
IN the highly improbable event
of walkout," said Woodbury. Blair
president of the institutions govern
ing board. the hospital will be
equipped to meet such an emer-
gency.
The suggestion of a strike" he
added. which l hope is misunder-
stood, would indicate that the
alumnae members are more inter-
estel in getting jobs for themselves
than with the welfare of the hos
rital and its patients" He said the
board was satisfied with the present
management and could not give the
alumnae association the right to
veto its orders.

Railwaymen's Union In Japan

ganzation Of the railwaymen, sowing confusion in
the minds of the workers, whose class instinct
prompts them to form class organizations and to
engage in the class struggle while the lingering
traditions call them back to bureaucratic official
ism and chauvinism.
AS instance, quote below the following
declaration by the founders of the All-Japanese
Raiwaymen's Union:
The All-Japanese Railwaymen's Union does not
differ from the other unions, and like all other
unions, it has for its object the ameoraton of
working conditions. Nevertheless in it's leading
principles and in it's activity, it is firmly resolved
to take into consideration the specific character of
the state railway enterprises which of such col
ossal Importance to all the public industries in
Japan. We, the railwaymen, while endeavoring to
improve our social status by means of our legal
organization and activity, are at the same time
prepared to make all sacrifices for the sake of the
further prosperity of the public enterprises that
are needful to the whole population. Thus, the
All-Japanese Railwaymens Union formed upon the
principle of trade unionsm will endeavor to make
progress while following the practical tactics of
honest fulfilment of duties assumed"
In adopting this platform, the All-Japanese Rail
waymen's Union declares that: "() for the purpose
of mutual support of the railwaymen in the struggle
for existence it will exert all efforts to stimulate
the growth of cooperation among the members
~ In order to raise the cultural level of the work
ers and employees, the union proposes to take up
the necessary cultural and educational activity on
large scale. (3) Standing for the system of work

THE DYNAMITER

perforate the stone with biting drill,
Then place the dynamite where it will do
Most good in making ready for the crew
To wreck some ancient building, rocky HILL
Or in some excavation deep and chill
l send my mighty shots to pierce through
The city's bed, and still never rue
My role of dynamiter and its thrill.
The thunder of the blast that shakes the town
Is but quiet music in my head,
The rain Of rocks is but fall of dew;
Yet as move my drill now up, now down,
think of all the souls who are quite dead
Because they fear to wreck--and build anew
HENRY REICH, JR.
