MAY AID FARMERS

An invention which ultimately may
aid greatly in the extension of cleo
trio power to the farms of the coun-
try has been announced by the West
ingtonhouse company. 1t consists of a
new method of transmitting cleo
trlcal current over long distances at
a greatly reduced cost, and is the in
vention of Frank G.. Baum of San
Francisco, an engineer with the
Westinghouse corporation
By its use of the flow of the current
over long distance transmission line
may be stabilized, whether the load
is heavy or light and the capacity of
given long line may be increased
rs per cent with only 20 per cent
greater cost. While the invention in
wolves technical features not easily
described for understanding by lay
man, the fact that it is sponsored and
announced by one of the largest cleo
trical manufacturing companies
should be convincing, so far as its
practical utility is concerned.
Speaking of his new system of cur
rent sterilization, Mr.. Baum declar-
ed: "The value of this invention is
that it makes possible economical
transmission of power from distant
waterfalls and will ultimately permit
sparsely settled districts and farms,
almost anywhere in the United States,
to be supplied with electric power.'
Coming at a time when the cleo
trification of farms is one of the lead
ing problems engaging the attention
of agricultural and electrical leaders.
Mr.. Baum's invention will doubtless
prove a most valuable and timely aid
to the developments along this line
now in progress.

NOW that Lindbergh has become a
household name. IT may as well be
reasserted that the age of heroism is
not yet a thing OF the past The
world still loves hero - still loves
courage. especially when courage is
linked with modesty Lindbergh's con-
quest OF the air and his steadfast
refusal to strike an attitude OF pro-
fessional heroism recalls another he
roic deed-on the sea instead OF in
the air. This occurred during the

BUFFALO BILL JR.
RECEIVED SCHOOLING
ON CATTLE RANGE

Motion picture stars are recruited
from all walks of life, and the stel-
lar armament is composed of men
and women who have received their
educatlons in every known sort of
institution of learning. Lester F.
Scott, Jr.'s, popular star, Buffalo Bill,
Jr., is no exception to that rule, but he
has varied the usual procedure some
what, IN that he found a substitute
for the high school and the college
In the larger school of experience in
life as it is lived on the great open
cattle ranges of the Western plains.
Buffalo Bill, Jr., first saw the light
OF day in Cheyenne, Wyoming, and
ne has lived on a cattle ranch ever
since he was six years old-there-
fore it is hardly necessary to say
that he is more at home on a horse
than on the ground. He had a most
adventurous early boyhood, and he
was scarcely out of short trousers
before he became a full-fledged
cowpuncher. He rapidly developed in
to sensational horseman and also
became an adept with the six-gun
and the lariat, and as he is of most
picturesque appearance it was not
long before he was signed up as a
broncho buster and fancy roper with
the Sells-Floto Wild West Show and
Circus. With this aggregation he
travelled throughout the United
States and Europe for several sea-
sons. While playing in London he met
the Prince of Wales, and the two
young men of such widely contrast
ing types and from such different
stations in life became warm friends,
this camaraderie being engendered
by reason of their mutual love for
horses.
After leaving the Sells-Floto show,
Buffalo Bill, Jr., organized his own
wild west troupe and travelled with
this for several seasons. He also be-
came one of the outstanding figures
in various rodeos held throughout
the west.
1t was about three years ago that
he made his first appearance in mo-
ton pictures. This was a small part
in support of Hoot Gibson. He
made such an impression in this
small bit that he was given a much
more important role in Gibson's next
picture, and from then on his advance
ment was very rapid, less than a year
elapsing before he won his spurs as
a full-fledged star.

PORTABLE TRANSMITTERS
REFUSED LICENSES

1t looks from the present attitude
of the Federal Radio Commission as
though portable transmitting sta
lions were out of luck. According to
Commissioner H. A. Bellows, "A con-
siderable amount of interference has
been reported from the activities of
the portable broadcasting stations
which were licensed under the old law.
Of these, there were q licensed un-
der the 1912 law.
"a station causing no interference
whatever in one location may make

location Of the broadeasting station is
an essential part of the license.
Accordingly, the Federal Radio
commission will not issue any temp
orary permits to portable broadcast
ing stations, and such statione were
required to discontinue operations I'M
less they would operate only in a
fixed location acceptable to the
commission.

Radio Becoming Country Hick

It is reported that many city radio
stations are preparing to move to the
country as a result of the radio COM

stations operating in residential Sec
tions must limit their power to 500
watts. # this continues, it will not

Life Saved By Radio

Once again radio saves life. and
again it is in different way. This
time a radio aerial saved Doris Tay-
Tor, 19-month-old daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Bennett Taylor, from death. The
child lost her balance while leaning
out of a second story window. She
landed on the wires, carrying them
down with her, but they broke the
force of the fall SO that several broken
teeth were the extent of her injuries.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Q.-S. L. R. says: II have had a
peculiar experience with my 5-tube
loop receiver when | attempted to
operate it on my screened in porch.
The porch was covered by copper
screens on three sides. Although the
screens were not grounded, the sig
nails were cut down to a very low
strength even on local stations. Was
the screening responsible for this 80
Ans.-The copper screens were I'M
doubtedly acting as a shield, and
had they been well grounded they
would have almost completely elimin-
ated all magnetic waves.

It is said that station WIBU at

broadcasting transmission from two
windmills. Generators coupled to
them charge the stations storage
batteries. It may be that when the
prevailing winds fail the station has

super heterodyne receiver compare
with other types of sets for sensi-
tivity?'
Ans.-Tube for tube the super
heterodyne is probably not quite as
sensitive as good receivers using 9TH
er circuits. The strongest points for
the super heterodyne are it's selectivity
and its ease of tuning.

set?"
Ans.-In some receivers, where
there may be trouble from an I'M
wanted feed back of energy the Sc
parate shielding of each tube may
be found advantageous. Ordinarily,
however, such shielding will not be
found necessary.

NORTHERN NOTES


 Fred Jungst, pioneer mining man of the Interior, died recently while on his way to the Beaver district. Re- ports received at Fairbanks, say that he stopped the evening of his death at cabin within six miles of his des- tination. Fred Jungst had lived in the Interior since 1904, first coming north during the Klondike days. He followed mining during the greater part of his residence in Fairbanks, and was on his way to the Beaver to prospect when he died Previous to starting out on the trip he had been employed at the Fairbanks Explora- tion company warehouse at Chatani- ka. He was associated with Mrs. Will liam Burns in mining property on Lit tie Eldorado creek and was sole own CT of several claims on that creek. On charge of shooting James Gill key with intent to kill in the Nordale hotel on the night of Sept 23 Obrey Ronivik was bound over to await the action of the grand jury. Thomas Johnson, who was also shot by Roni- vik at the same place and the same night, lies in St. Josephs hospital at the point of death. He is steadily sinking and Is not expected to live through. Infection which set in from a wound in the hip has drained his vi tality and despite his dogged fight for life, which has carried him through crisis after crisis, all hope for his re- covery has been abandoned.
 Charles Austel, who arrived in Fair banks last week from an Alaska Road Commission camp, is reported to have been robbed of his watch and chain and S1O0 in cash.
 The marriage of Miss Audrey LOT raine Stanfield to Theodore A. Loftus was solemnized in Fairbanks last week Mrs. Loftus has been a resi- dent of Fairbanks since the spring of 1925. For some time she has been connected with the clerk of the clerk of the courts office in the capacity of deputy. MT. Loftus was among the first students to register at the Alaska Agricultural College and School of Mines. He graduated from that in- stitution this year with a degree in mining engineering and is at present taking graduate work.
