QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Q.-E. C. c. says: Il have been told
that I could improve the quality of
my loud speaker by connecting a
small fixed condenser across its ter
minals. I tried this, but it caused con-
siderable distortion. Should the con-
denser make much difference
Ans.-It is true that on some
speakers a small condenser shunted
across them will improve them. On
speakers which give good results on
the high notes and poor results on the
lower ones, this condenser will cut
down the volume of the higher ones,
thus making the reproduction more
uniform. If the condenser is much
larger than 0001 mfds, it may cause
considerable distortion.
GA. NJ. asks: "What is a high
MI tube? I have seen them advertis-
ed but do not understand their pur-
pose
Ans.-The MI of a tube means its
application constant, and it de-
ponds to some extent upon the inter
nal resistance of the tube, which in
turn depends upon its mechanical con-
struction. When a tube is used with a
resistance coupled amplifier the tube
must have a higher internal resis-
tance than usual to match the coupling
resistance. Also as the only amplifi-
cation in this kind of a circuit takes
place in the tube, the tube must have
a higher amplification constant than
usual

STATE FAIR DISPLAYS
TO Be REPRESENTATIVE
New System of Awards Bring
Entries From Many
Counties

Helena-With "a counties of the
state already gathering exhibits to
show at the Montana State fair which
opens in Helena, September .. and
many others yet to be heard from,
officials in charge of the exposition
look for the most representative dis
plays in years. New systems of county
collective exhibits which create conf
petition within the nine crop districts
as well as among all the counties OF
the state have done much toward
stimulating county exhibiting.
Of the nine crop districts, one has
already every county within its bor-
ders signed up, while two are still
doubtful about one county and two
have three doubtful counties. District
one, including Lake, Lincoln, Flathead
and Sanders is. the first district to
signify a one hundred per cent attend
ance. District s, including Gallatin,
Park, Sweetgrass, Saltwater, Yellow
stone and Carbon, is doubtful about
one county, Sweetgrass. District two
and District. four, the first made up
of Glacier, Toole, Liberty, Hill, Blaine,
Pondera, Teton and Chouteau, have
Liberty, Pondera and Teton still
doubtful while three counties in the
latter, Missoula, Ravalli and Mineral
are sending exhibits and Powell, Gran
lite and Deer Lodge are as yet unde-
cided.
Of the other crop districts of the
state Lewis and Clark and Cascade
counties will represent district 5
should the rest of the counties in that
district fail to bring exhibits. Big
Horn, Custer and Fallon will bring
exhibits from the far southeastern
portion of the state, district 9, and
McCone intends to bring its products
from district six. Returns from dis
trict three in the far northeastern
corner of the state which includes
Phillips, Valley, Daniels, Sheridan and
Roosevelt counties have not sent in
their entries although it is expected
that the most of them will have exhib-
its at the fair.
The three districts comprising the
western section of Montana have the
best representation so far with but
four of the 13 counties doubtful.
Twelve out of the twenty-five counties
of central Montana are sure of having
exhibits at the fair while four of the
eastern Montana counties have re-
piled positively to queries and more
are yet to be heard from.

ROCK
CALIFORNIA CITIES

Los Angeles. A seven months
peaceful slumber of southern Cali
fornia's earth crust was interrupted
recently when a rolling, rocking quake,
lasting from ten to fifteen seconds,
advanced the rising hour of thou
sands of persons but did no damage,
so far as reported except the break
ing of a water main in Los Angeles.
Two tremors, apparently, were
blended into one. A moderately heavy
swaying shock decreased slightly at
the end of four or five seconds, only
to reach a second peak at the end of
ten seconds and then die. away.
San Pedro, the harbor city of Los
Angeles, seemed to have received the
most severe shaking. The marine look
out, stationed on top of six story
building reported that the shock con-
tinued for 40 or As seconds.
Hollywood got thorough shaking,

heaviest felt in many years. Windows
ratified, furniture shifted about and
sleepers rolled over in bed.
Santa Monica, likewise, reported
one of the most severe shakes in sew
eral years, but no damage to report.
The quake was felt there more dis
tinctly as two separate tremors.
Coast towns from Ventura south to
point probably 80 or 60 miles south
of Los Angeles, felt the quake with
about equal severity while the noun
tains rumbled and shook IN the San
Bernadino vicinity.
Imperial Valley, which received the
last previous heavy shock January l,
1927, did not feel the recent distur-
bance. Neither did Santa Barbara on
the coast a hundred miles north
notice the movement.

and groups frequently hear special an
nouncements for campers about forest
fires raging throughout the west. And,
as the rangers point out, all the signs
in the world, Help Prevent Forest
Fires" can't do as much good for
campers actually in the forests as the
timely radio voice from the city tell
ing them of devastating fire caus-
ing tremendous loss of life and
property.
Last year there were three thous-
and forest fires, resulting. in over a
million acres of timber being burnt.
seventy-five per cent of the fires were
started by human negligence, a camp
fire left smouldering, a spark or a
lighted cigarette or match carelessly
tossed away.

RADIO HELPS IN FOREST FIRE
PREVENTION

Now that Fall is approaching and
the western forest areas are tenanted
by many campers the risks of serious
forest fires is increasing. According
to Colonel W.B. Greedy, who is chief
of the United States Forestry Ser
vice, radio has been playing an in
creasing part in forest conservation,
especially in the education of the pub
lie. It has been doing this through
many radio talks from western sta
tons in the forest areas.
Forest rangers coming in contact
with thousands of city folk on vaca-
ton in government Fairgrounds in
the west find that these Radio talks
have helped considerably in spreading
fire prevention propaganda. Many
campers bring their radios with them

Listening In the Dark

Some time ago the papers contained
statement of how many extra mil
lions of dollars the power companies
throughout the country were making,
due to the people sitting up later at
night to listen to the radio. According
to the latest reports, however, the ar
dent DIX fan can get better results by
listening in the dark, or in very sub
dued light. This has been explained
by the fact that when the lights are

low your eyes are less active and that
some of the energy formerly employed
in sight may then be used by your
sense of hearing. This, it is claimed,
makes your sense of hearing more
sensitive and capable of picking up
weaker signals of DIX stations.

ing in the dark decreases the power

A Midsummer Afternoons Dream

If l were lady-sh! Don't inter-
rupt to ask-of course | am not a
lady. There aren't any ladies any
more, that is they are very scarce. 1t
you say of woman, now she is lady,
you mean, Of course, that she is a
very beautiful and lovely creature,
who wears gloves over her lily white
hands, and floppy picture hat to
ward off the caresses of the sun from
her fair cheeks. She is very dainty in
her light summer dresses, and her
manners are precise and dignified,
like the precise and dignified way in
which she walks. To be sure, she has
great deal Of time. A lady always
has leisure, is never hurried. All day
long, if she wishes, she may recline
gracefully in a hammock or rustic
chair; book Of poetry is in her hand
or else bit of gay embroidery over
which her slender fingers flutter
gracefully.
Perhaps with this you understand
why there are SO few ladies now.
What would you call us? We are peo-
pie, who are living like other people.
We keep house. we wash dishes, we
cook food for our families, we hang
out clothes on Monday and iron on
Tuesday. Some of us escape these
homely occupations to sit at an Of
flee desk all day, or stand before a
schoolroom full of children, or count
out bananas and weigh sugar for the
public. There are many things that
we are and many things that we do.
Perhaps the very least of them is to
be ladies.
No. am not lady. I do not want
to be lady. I think it would be dull
after the first afternoon and | would
be wishing to count bananas again
or hang out clothes.
Nevertheless, it is an interesting
condition to speculate upon, and | be-
lieve that if I were a lady Twill you
not let me be one now seated languid-
ly in willow chair, dressed in a pale
shell pink gown of sheerest organdy
with lace and ruffles, my pink tipped
fingers deity manipulating a silver
needle through fine linen, surrounded
by other ladies not quite so lovely as
[, with cavaliers, enough to go
around and two for newly then. |
think | should want to be slipping
something very chill and fruity, with
a crisp sweet wafer to nibble.
That is simple desire, isn't it? The
happy thing about it is that not be-
ing a lady, one can still have the icy
drink, the cookies, with ones own
imagination to add the romantic ac-
compartments. May suggest the fol-
lowing recipes for summer afternoon
refreshments which I feel certain
would please any Victorian lady and
her company. AS some of these frosty,
frigid connections charm your throat
and the sweet cookies please your
palate, hope you'll enjoy moment
of old time imaginative romance,
though it be as brief as mine.

State Treasurer Lauds
Governors Economy

Minnesota's state treasury is 3d.
100000 better off than it was a year
ago, it was announced recently by
State Treasurer Julius A. Schmahl
In spite of sharp reduction in state
taxes last year, the state revenue fund
February 1 showed a balance of
$515,917.98, compared with an over
draft of $2,526,516.S7 on February 1,
1926.
"This magnificent gain" said Mr..
Schmahl, sis undoubtedly due to Gov
ernor Theodore Christianson holding
down the appropriations of the 1925
session of the legislature and likewise
calling upon every department of the
state government, educational, chart
table, correctional, eleemosynary and
penal, to conserve to the fullest ex-
tent without injuring the public SER
vice; and in a measure to the action
of the board of administration, par
ticularly in connection with purchases
for various purposes coming under
the jurisdiction of that board. The
effects of the Governors policy can
now be weighed and keenly appreciat-
ed by the taxpayers of Minnesota"

TO favor the law that is now, it is to
be hoped, on its way to repeal.
But actual experience has shown
that the evils resulting from the law
are far more and far worse than the
hardships relieved by it. Absent vot-
.ers' ballots are widely distributed,
party machines make use of them to
"get out the vote," these ballots are
piled into election polling places, in
some reported cases the number of
absent ballots exceeding the number
of those voting personally, with no
opportunity for the election officers
to identify the absent voters and no
change for challenge.
From every section of the state
have come complaints and protests
growing out of the evils resulting
from this law"
So the Indiana house has voted
u to % to repeal the absent voters
