COUNTY NAMES
I DOG TAX
AGENTS

ANNAPOLIS, MD, Nov. ls.-
Anne Arundel County Commits
sioners have appointed q dog tax
collector for each Of the seven
districts. The funds expected will
be used to reimburse farmers for
the loss Of sheep and fowl, due
to dogs running at large.
Early in the year only three
collectors were named. This
caused complaint from several
quarters. Even now desired re-
suits are not being obtained, it
being charged that the law Is not
strictly enforced by the license
agents, In that favoritism, is
shown here and there.
II Is Q well known fact that
there have been a number Of In
stances wherein county folk i1ar-
boring one or more dogs, not
only get off with the explanation
that the dogs are not actually
their property. but the paid
agents make little effort to pick
up the "stfays" and destroy them.
1t seems that the license fee

BY some of the agents.
Meanwhile, the county commits
doners have paid out consider
able sum, due to the ravages of
stray dogs.

Humble Spud Wears
Wrapper and Is
All SwelIed Up

KANSAS CITY, Nov. lo.-,
The once lowly Irish potato
now appears on the market
in wrapped exclusiveness,
Time was when all potatoes
were "just spuds." with no
marks Of social distinction.
But today that branch of the
vegetable family has developed
huge aristocrats.
And now, the extra large
potatoes. instead Of being Of
fered in bushel baskets. are
segregated to the royal ring,
and each potato Is enveloped
in It's individual wrapper.
Thus, when the shopper goes
to market, she may pick one,
two. three or q dozen of the
potatoes from q fancy display
in which the potatoes are
shown in their wrappings, the
same as fancy oranges or other
fruits.

An entirely new type of radio re-
ceiver, remarkable because OF its
small size and extremely light
weight, has been announced by the
Western Electric Company for use
i'll aeroplane communication. The
new set was given its first public
demonstration at the All-American
Aircraft Show in Detroit where .
special program was transmitted
from plane and broadcast through
a chain of local stations. The set in
question was developed for the
Western Electric Company by the
Bell Telephone Laboratories which
were engaged in aeroplane radio
developments during the war and
have been actively at work in this
field during the intervening years.
The new receiver is housed in a
duralumin case and weighs only
twelve pounds. Its overall dimen-
sions are approximately twelve
inches in length, eight inches in
height and four inches in thick
ness. 1t employs the single dial type
of control and is extremely simple
to operate. The antenna is of the
mast type which does away with the
cumbersome trailing wire hitherto
employed. The use of this type of
antenna is made possible because of
the high efficiency of the receiving
set itself.
Over a year ago a cabin mono
plane was utilized by the Bell Tele-
phone Laboratories for the compile
ton of the development work. The
transmitter used in Detroit for
broadcasting the program was one
of the earlier models of the aero
plane transmitter designed for regu-
lar two-way telephone communica-
ton between plane and ground. The
final model which was on exhibition
is housed in a case approximately
ten inches deep, fourteen inches
high and fifteen inches long. 1t COM
bines simplicity Of control with a
minimum of weight which is so ,es-
sential for aircraft use
Nogales international. [volume] (Nogales, Ariz.) 1926-1979, 1929-07-26

For the benefit of those more
technically inclined the main fea-
lures of the receiver are as follows:
The set consists essentially of four
tubes, three of which are OF the
screened grid type recently per-
fected, while the fourth tube is of
the three-element heater type. 1t
has two stages of radio frequency
application, a detector and one
stage of audio frequency ampli6ca-
ton. Due to the employment of the
space charged grid detector circuit,
the set is extremely sensitive. The
employment of screened grid tubes
gives an amplihcation of approx
mately three to one as compared to
the former three-element tube.
The set operates from a generator
which is driven by the action of the
wind on a small propeller and has
a total weight of less than seven
pounds. This generator supplies
both 10 volts and 220 volts to the
receiver. The necessary filters for
eliminating Objectionable noises are
included in the set
The transmitter has a carrier
power of fifty watts but is arranged
for 1000 meditation so that the
peak power output at full modula-
ton is 200 watts. A frequency range
of from 1900 to 5000 kilocycles is
provided GOO to so meters) and the
operating frequency is maintained
to within plus or minus .025% under
all conditions. To accomplish this a

ature range of from forty degrees
below zero Fahrenheit to one hun.
dred and twenty degrees above. The
complete frequency control equip
ment weighs less than nine ounces.
Power for the transmitter Is OBJ
tanned from a double voltage direct
current generator geared to the
airplane engine. Special control is
provided to maintain constant volt
age automatically at all engine
speeds. Eleven hundred volts is
taken off for the plate supply and
is passed through filters in the
transmitter to remove all objection
able noise. The regular aeroplane
battery is foated across the low po-
tential supply of fourteen volts and
used for the tube 6laments.
For the program which was broad
cast in Detroit a photograph was
employed equipped with an electri-
cal pickup and standard speech
input ampliScr of the Western Elec-
trio portable type. The announcer
was also provided with a special
microphonc designed to eliminate
all outside noise. This is similar to
