SLICK FELLERS FLEECING W PDOR SENATORS Hard Luck Stories Cause Kind Congressmen to Part With Cold Cash. Times Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Aug. 1. —Slick fellows from out of town have been duping some of our best Senators. Yes. sir, one of them put up a hard luck story to Senator Harris of Georgia and borrowed 75 cents, which he hasn’t paid back yet. Some of the Senators were stung worse than that. These out of town slickers seem to have the idea that Congressmen are easy marks, but they're finding out d.fferent. The other day Senator Dial, who had been fleeced for $lB, caught a crook bare handed and gave him over to the police. He is now in jail and the Senate Office building is much safer for Senators. The usual trick they play on the Senators is to tell a hard luck story of needing money to get back homo. Asa rule, the bogus borrowers mention the names of influential constituents and the Senators’ hearts melt. Not infrequently they are asked to cash checks which often return with "N. S. F.” scribbled across them. The borrower gone, the Senator is left holdiing the sack. Recently a group of Senators and Congressmen held a “confession” meeting with this result: Senator Sheppard of Texas had been duped out of S2O. Senator Fletcher of Florida and Senator Bieholson of Colorado were stung for ten each. Senator Spencer kissed a twenty good-by. The heaviest loser in the group was Representative Park of Georgia, who cashed a check for $97.60. The check Is worse than a plugged nickel.

Miniature A. C. Generator Excels Buzzer for Use in Code Practice

By PAUL F. OODLEY. America's Foremost Radio Authority. One of the discouraging things about radio code practice ia the tendency to%vard irregularity of operation of the average high-pitched buzzer. Such tone irregularities detract the attention of the beginnner from the characters being transmitted. A miniature alternating current generator will overcome this difficulty. It can be easily rigged up from an old magnetic telephone, a top motor and an iron gear wheel. The gear should be mounted upon the shaft of the motor so that its teeth revolves very close to, and directly in front of. the pole pieces cf the magnetic telephone. For the best results, the gear should be of approximately the same thickness as the pole piece of the telephone receiver. If the tone produced in the windings of the receiver is to be a pure one. the gear should be mounted true on the shaft of the motor. Provision of a rheostat in circuit with the motor and its batetry will enable the control of the pitch of the tone. The action is as follows: When two of the teeth of the gear are opposite the two poles of the teleRADIO PROGRAM Indianapolis (Hatfleld) WOH —Daily Except Sunday—--10:00-11:00 a. m.. musical program with special features. 10:15 a. m.. financial, grain and livestock market reports. 1:00-200 p. m.. musical program with special features. 1:20 p. m_ market reports. 4:00-5:00 p. m.. musical program with special features. 4:15 p. m.. police notices. 4:50 p. m., baseball scores. 8:30-10:00 o'clock.

phone receiver, the magnetic circuit is completed, through the gear, at which time a maximum of magneticflow exists. When the gear is revolved the resistance of the magnetic flux is greatly increased because of the substitution of air in front of the pole HI AD TtLEPHcSe* ALTERNATING CURRENT GENERATOR FOR CODE PRACTICE. pieces of the telephone magnet. A great change in the magnetic flow is thus brought about. This change of magnetic flow produces a pulse of current in the coils of the telephone receiver. Each time a tooth of the gear passes the pole pieces a similar pulse will be registered in the windings of the receoiver. It is thus acting as a generator. Any magnetic telephone may be used in this way, although the watch case type will give less onergy than those larger phones used with the standard telephone Instruments. RADIO PRIMER REACTANCE—Opposition to an electric current brought about by induction or capacitance in the circuit. Reactance holds back the current by storing it in the form of a magnetic field.

MUCH has been said during the past few weeks respecting the vast amount of gasoline in storage, and many have drawn conclusions from these statements which are not justified by the facts. It is true that there is a fairly large storage on hand but when this storage is set against the consumption its relati\2 size diminishes rapidly. Between January 1 and June 1 the storage of gasoline was increased about 270,000,000 gallons, while the monthly consumption increased but 224,000,000 gallons; but during June the consumption was largely increased while the storage remained stationary. During the past six weeks storage has decreased, as was to be expected, and this decrease will continue until late in the fall. Here are the most recent statistics taken from the reports of the U. S. Bureau of Mines: Gasoline Stocks, Jan. 1922 - - - 586,087,132 gala. Gasoline Consumption, Jan. 1922 - 274,844,808 Gasoline Stocks, June 1,1922 - - 856,607,102 Gasoline Consumption, May, 1922 499,242,343 44 The June consumption figures compiled by the Bureau of Mines are not yet available but we know from our own records that consumption is making heavy inroads into stocks. Even at the present rate of consumption there is not to exceed 60 days supply in storage, which for this time of the year is abnormally low. Reports from refining areas indicate that refineries all over the country are being run to capacity, and we do not anticipate a gasoline shortage though predictions to that effect are being made. It has always been the practice of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) to operate its refineries to as near capacity as possible during the months of low consumption in order that it might have on hand adequate supplies during periods of great consumption. Only a large and efficiently organized company can provide facilities which insure service regardless of demand. It is because the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) always is working, months in advance, that it can promise at all times a steady, constant, dependable service. Standard Oil Company (Indiana) 910 So.
