young men as by long-haired ancients. Harry Wong Tl, who served in the Seventy-seventh division, Is one of China's most active sons In New York. One of three American-born Chinese exservice men of the John Purroy Mitchel post of the American Legion, 11 Is busily occupied In raising funds for a lean-to at the veterans’ mountain camp in the Adirondacks. He also serves on the executive committee of his post. In a recent round-up of slackers in Chinatown several Chinese ex-soldiers assisted the Legion “detectives" In the work of tracking their quarry, and In many other ways Chinese service men have proved to the Legion, by their progressiveness and their Initiative, how worthy they are as patriotic citizens. OLD GLORY AND UNION JACK Emblems Float Side by Side Over Great Ardh Astride Canadian and United States Border. Astride the Canadian border at Blaine, Wash., is a great peace arch, celebrating a hundred years of friendly relations between Canada and the United States. Side by side float the Stars and Stripes and the Union Jack —a symbol of our international good will. The vista of peace which American } Legionnaires saw in their mind's eye through this portal gave them the name of their “Peace Arch post" at Blaine.

On the architrave of the monument are carved the words, “Children of a Common Mother,” to perpetuate the Idea of the triangular relationship between England and her two kmerlcan offspring. !> Carrying On With the « • American Legion A plea that all students at Nebraska university join the Legion “for the honor of the institution and the perpetuity of our country” has been made by Chancellor Avery. The “Society of Military and Naval Officers of the World War" has come Into existence In New York state. Plans are under way to make It a nationwide organization, with hereditary membership. Ex-servfce men who ask for aid at Racine, Wls., receive no hearing unless they hold a letter of endorsement from the American Legion. “Impostors In bought uniforms" have , brought on the move. Influx of Japanese on newly opened farm land Is opposed by the American I Legion of central Oregon. George Shlma, so-called Japanese potato king, has shares In a company which owns 17,000 acres of this land. » * • “To aid and to aid quickly" Is the object of the Washington State association In New York City, which Is checking up on Washington state soldiers In need. The Legion Is asking other states to "do likewise.” “Wait two years until the gas gets working good,” was no Idle Jest on the part of the Germans. Almost onethird of the 30,000 hospital ci.ses in America are suffering from mental disorders, the Legion reports. ■n—<Mi an■'—- - ■ .

HOW AMATEUR CAN BUILD A RECEIVER Instructions for Setting Up the Antenna and for Assembling the Tuner. In order to pick up sufficient energy with the simple radio receiving set it is necessary to connect one terminal to an antenna consisting of one or more wires suspended in the air and insulated from all grounded material and the other terminal to a ground, usually the water supply pipe. The height of an antenna used with a small receiver should not be less than 30 feet. As the received energy varies directly as the height of an antenna, the higher the antenna the louder will be the signals or voice produced. The length of an antenna for short wave reception should not be less than 60 feet nor should it be longer than 200 feet. The minimum wave length to which a simple receiver can be adjusted for electrical resonance will be above that used by amateurs if the receiver be connected to an antenna 200 feet or more in length. A simple radiophone receiver capable of picking up radiophone stations similar to KDKA at East Pittsburgh, can be assembled by a novice for from $4 to sls, depending upon the builder’s ability to use his hands. If the builder will construct most of Ids apparatus he will appreciate it I much more and probably will under--1 stand more about its operation than if he buys a set already made. However, for those who have not the ability or the time to spend constructing their own apparatus the following description will not only give the details as to the construction of each component part of a receiver but also what standard ready-made parts can * be purchased and used in its stead. The material can be purchased at any electrical supply store. In erecting a simple antenna for use. with the receiver shown In the diagram, the antenna proper and the | lead-in are of stranded hard-drawn copper wire, strand No. 22, costing about 1 cent per foot. The two insulators are of molded piaterial and can be purchased for about 25 cents each. The antenna shown is supported between a house and a pole. It may be found more convenient to support it between a tree and a house, two houses or even between two chimneys on the same house. In bringing down the lead-in care should be taken that it is kept as far away from grounded ■ material as possible and when bringing through the wall or under the window into tiie house it should be brought I through some sort of an insulating tube, such as rubber or bakelite. In making the ground connection 1 the same kind of wire can be used as was purchased for the antenna. You can clean a section of the waterpipe thoroughly and solder the ground wire to it. MAKING THE TUNER To make a tuner for this receiver, the following raw material will be required : Piece of cardboard tubing three j inches outside diameter and five Inches long, costing about 10 cents. 100 feet No. 22 double cotton-cov-ered magnet wire costing 25 cents. Standard slider (see sketch) for V 4 by % brass rod, 40 cents. | 1 six-inch length of %by % brass rod (square) 20 cents. I 2 binding posts (see sketch) 20 cents. 2 circular blocks of wood whose diameter Is Just equal to the Inside ■ diameter of the piece of cardboard I tubing and between 3-8 and 1-2 inch ;thick. Some shellac or varnish is also re- [ oulred. ■ — I mail—— ■■ I— ■ . --I I—■—k»

Starting one-half inch from one end of the cardboard tube wind on the No. 22 D. C. C. wire within one-half , Inch of the other end of the tube. Fasten one end of the winding to tlie tube but allow some surplus wire on the other end for making a connection. After the winding is in place give It a coat of shellac or varnish , to hold the turns in place. Assemble the circular-cut pieces of wood In the geometrical center of the square blocks and then shellac or varnish them for the appearance’s sake. When thoroughly dry slip the two I end blocks into the wound tube and by means of a few finishing brads. i driven through the cardboard tube, fasten the end blocks to the wound tube. The slider is to be mounted on top of the coil and should be capable es making contact with any turn of the wire on the tube. In order to remove the insulation from the wire just under tlie rod where the slider moves back and forth, wrap a piece of sandpaper around a thin piece of wood and using another piece of wood . as a guide, sandpaper the insulation from tlie winding. Drill a hola oneeighth inch in diameter through the slider rod about one-fourth inch in from each end so that the rod can be fastened by screws to the end blocks. After the slider rod is fastened in place see that tlie contact finger on the bottom of the slider can at all times make good contact with tlie winding. Mount a binding post on either end of the coil, attaching one by means of a wire to the slider rod and the other to the end of the wire wound on the tube and the tuner is complete. A tuner can be purchased already assembled for about $3.50 to $4.00. 1 _____________ LINKING MOVIE AND RADIO — British Scientists Have Some Success in Wireless Transmission of Motion Pictures. British scientists are reported to have met with more or less success in developing a method of transferring motion pictures by radio. Some months ago a photograph w-as transferred by wireless from the Copenhagen newspaper, the Polftlken, to England, and later from England to a ship in mid Atlantic, so that the possibility of linking the movies with the new art is not remote. If perfected the new development of the already versatile art will make it possible for one to see on Ills own receiving Instrument things that are bapi pening at a great distance. For instance, a ship is sinking at sea. The transmitting station of the vessel, instead of sending a message of the disaster, sends a picture that anyone with a receiving set will be able to see just as the present broadcasting programs are heard. That all sounds remote now, but the telephone was considered even j more so, and the wireless, even after Marconi’s immortal message had bridged the Atlantic, was generally believed to be akin to the idea of per- ! petual motion. i TIPS TO THE RADIOIST | A crystal detector cannot be i t satisfactorily amplified. !'i Insulate ends of aerial wires : ? with several small insulators. I Wherever possible run aerial ? wires at right angles to electric ” • light wires. ? The lead wire should be the f size of the combined number of ' j wires in the aerial. j j Gas piping makes a poor i ground, but the cold water pipe : | ground is excellent. !A crystal detector Is never as efficient as a vacuum tube detecI tor no matter what instruments !are connected to it. Within three to five miles from a broadcasting station Indoor 1* one wire aerials about 40 feet long stretched from room to room, are generally satisfactory with crystal detectors. t

Democrats Pick Ticket and Adopt a Platform (Continued from page one) were laid by the committee in all night session. There was a bitter fight over the plank concerning the public service commidMon. The "home rule" faction advocated an outright declara'tlon for repeal of the utility law and the conservatives wanted to praise the commission activities during the administration of Former Governor Ralston, the democratic senatorial nominee and to condemn its administration during the republican rule. A movement for a minority report of the committee demanding repeal of the utility, highway commission and board of accounts law was started in the delegation from the twelfth | district. Party leaders said this would not progress to “The danger stage.” The tentative platform named “The question of taxation and the restoration of home rule to the people as the paramount issue in the campaign. It pointed out that under the Goodrich tax law, taxes in Indiana have doubled. and trebled and the. republicans by their silence have endorsed the act. It further pointed out that the resolutions committee of the repub- ' lican state convention had withdrawn a plank favoring “home rule" in the I matter of bond issues at the insist--1 once of Governor McCray. The plank for return of inheritance tax and automobile license fees to the counties was to discredit the re- > publican legislature which enacted the law providing for the use of this 1 money by the highway commission. On the subject of re-appointment the committee declared the present law is designed to bring about election of a republican legislature even though the state would be democrat- , ' ic by a majority of sixty thousand. ; Under a section designated with | “Republican army in time of peace” the tentative draft declared the present administration has created two armies “the largest army of unemployed in the history of the nation” and “a stupendous army” of office 1 holders. 1 There are few planks touching on ! national issues. 1 One declares for a soldier bonus. 1 Another condemns the proposed tarI iff law and sales tax and favors such tariff as to give farm products easy access to the markets of the ’world. The democrats like the republicans, oppose compulsory arbitration. They; condemn removal of the state reformatory from Jeffersonville to Madison county “at a cost in excess of $5,000,000 and declare for limitation of the use of the absent voters’ law or for its repeal.
