Help the organization which purposes helping all who need it when they need aid. Some how or other we can’t join in the criticisms against "Red’’ Grange for accepting the offers to play professional football when he is assured an income the next month or two greater than most of us can gather up in a life time. Wouldn’t it be a progressive idea tor each merchant to have the windows of his store lighted in the evenings. especially during the next month? It adds to the appearance of the city, makes us look livelier and is a mighty good advertisement, the cost of which is so small that you need scarcely consider it. ■ ” Gerald Chapman, king of bandits, will not be electrocuted December 3rd as sentenced. The court has granted a writ of habeas corpus while bis lawyers argue before the supreme court that he must serve a twentyfive year sentence for robbery before the penalty for murder is inflicted. Its all bosh and another example of what is causing the crime wave. . ♦ I Thanksgiving Day should be more than just a holliday. one additional seventh of the week when you don't have to report for duty. It should be observed as the one day of the year when you thank the Creator for the blessings you have received and they are many when compared with those who inaugurated the after harvest celebration.

“Ma” Ferguson, governor of Texas is discovering that holding a high political position is not exactly a bed of roses. Efforts to impeach her are now on and she has been asked to call a special session of the leg slaturg for that purpose. If she refuses, the body will be called by some other means it is announced- Graft in road building is the principal charge though the real reason is perhaps to be found among the enemies of her husband, Jim Ferguson, former governor who was impeached and for whose honor Mrs. Ferguson deserted her kitchen to make th e race. Any way its a heavy job for “Ma.'' A Long Island apostle of doom is going to move 300 miles inland to escape the impending destruction of the metropolis. He predicted last winter that the world would end on February 6. These perennial predictors of perdition deserve the professional attention of competent psychiatrists and police officers. There is no virtue, under the cloak of free speech, in eternally giving simpleminded folks the right to lead dozens and even hundreds of their own mental calibre into actions which are distmctly harmful to their own welfare and that of the community at large. Patience ceases to become a virtue with these barnyard philosophers. They may hav e deserved respectful attention in the eleventh century. when the world w'ts believed to be flat, but in the year 1925, their intellectual processes might be stimulated by thirty days on the rock pile.—Cleveland News.

previously — charged with participation in the Buffalo payroll robberies—and had jumped his bail. The most astonishing fact about the situation is that a notorious gunman who thus had waged open warfare on society should be allowed to go free on bond. Had justice not been inexcusably laggard and lax, he would have been doing time in Sing Sing. This murder and robbery would not have occurred. liecause the brains to plan it and the daring to execute it would have been lacking. Responsibility for the bank employe's death partially must rest upon the Detroit authorities from whom this desperadiT escaped. Robbery svith firearms everywhere should be put in a class with murder; bail should not be granted for either crime under such circumstances, and a swift trial should be had. Too many such devices are at hand to delay and often defeat the law, while the criminal remains free to continue preying upon society. It is all though the legal machinery existed for the convenience of the accused rather than to protect the innocent public. The Buffalo crime is the inevitable outcome of such an attitude.—Sam Antonia Evening News. o—

At twenty I was clever still At least I seemed to be. I thought no other one could fill The place assigned to me. But I admitted, now and then I blundered, too, like other men. And when I'd come to twenty-two More carefully I walked, I'd lost that faith in what I knew.

Paralyzed Tubes Many times set Owners will blame their "B’’ batteries, etc., for weak signals when it really is caused by dead, or paralyzed tubes. The-W-189 and 201-A type tubes use a special kind of filament wire, 1 known as Thorium. This wire is because it gives off a great number of electrons at a low temperature, or in other words it will ojterate very efficiently with only one-fourth ampere current consumption from the storage battery, or six hundredths of an ampere in the 199-type. This means a very groat saving jq batteries over the old one-ampere] type tubes, but the thorium filumefit lias one disadvantage the old tubes did not have. A tube using the thorium filament should never be operated a* a higher filasnent votage than that indicated on the carton, which is usually 3 volts in the caae of the 19'J and 5 volts with the 201-A. Here is what takes place when this is done. Signals may l|e a little weak for some reason, the operator of the set, trying to tjriug them iiftprouger. keeps increasing the curreu, to the tubes by turning Gje jyu?o?tats. ou more. This is surejwT tXesqlt in paralyzed tubes, ' whidtt 4v-j.il decrease the signal ‘ B"r~

strength greatly.- Instead of increas-. , ing it. ’ When the filament voltage is in- < created beyond the manufactures ( j rating the thorium on the outside of the filament evaporates very rapidly and this decreases the flow of elec-1 Irons to tli e plate. The more the voltage is increased the greater the paralyzing action will become? When This takes-place tfie tube becomes practically inoperative, or dead. However, this is not as serious as burning out the tube would be, as it | can he tejuvenated and made to operate like new aga'n. i This >s dpne by placffig high voltage alternating current on the tube for exactly 15 seconds. This operation drives the thorium from the cepter of the filament to the outside ’ of it. which brings the tube back to I life, i: is then operated on about > 5 volts AC for ten m notes. ami by t so doing the thorium is baked on the t outside of tlie fi lament/'and the tube - is again put in perfect operating con- , dition. s I > It is surprising the increase in - volume, etc., that is obtained by re- - juvenating tubes that have been in s use for a while, and a tube tester will , show a. great change in the plate cur--1 rent, etc., of a tube after being re- - >..

K„ it is undoubtedly caused by paralyzed tubes and they should be taken to a dealer equipped with a tybe tester and rejuvenator. The tester will indicate the co** tion of the tube, and if they need it he cap renew them for you. But remember to never operate your tubes at a higher voltpge than specified by the manufacture, (and here is where a filament voltmeter comes in handy) and that instead of increasing the volume by burning the tubes brighter, you are really decreasing it by paralyzing the tubes Operate your tubes on just as little current as possible, and still get good results. They will last much longer and are not nearly so liable to become "dead." p — x x x x x j: xT; i: x st x k x x x x X • X :: The PEOPLE’S VOICE « X This column for the use of our X X readers who wish‘to make sug- X X gestions for the general good »i X or discuss questions of interest.
