Radio-frequenc- y n If all necessary preliminaries are worked out in Utah between now and July 15, Secretary Work and Reclamation Commissioner Mead may be able when they conclude their trip through the northwest, to close a contract with the water users, or their association, under which the government will proceed at once with the building of the Echo reservoir and crosscut canal which are to form the first unit of the Denver, Colo. Salt Lake liasin Irrigation project. They will not be able this season to authorize construction on the Provo Ray unit, as they interpret the law as permitting them at this time merely to conclude investigation of this unit, with a view to having its construction specifically authorized by congress next session, if found entirely feasible. This information was given to Engineer W. R. Green and Dr. John T. Widtsoe r by commissioner Mead Denver left for Lake Salt they City. Commissioner Mead anticipates no serious trouble in. working out the preliminaries so far as the Echo unit is concerned, but surprised Dr. Widtsoe when he told him tbeProvo Bay unit will cost $200 an acre, based on the latest available estimates, which Is more than the cost of any project yet undertaken, and a figure which compels most careful study of that work before it can even be recommended to congress. Mr. Green brought with him to Denver estimates on the Echo unit and it was disclosed that there is a material diversity of opinion as to the per acre cost of this part of the project. According to Mr. Greens the cost of supplemental water to the farmers under Echo reservoir would be $40 an acre. Mead called attention to the fact that the Echo reservoir and the crosscut canal will cost three million dollars, and it is certain that water can be contracted for only sixty thousand acres, which would bring the cost up to $50 an acre. Mr. Green thought the crosscut canal could be paid for separately, and he therefore figured $45 as be-fo- igures, the outside cost to those not taking water from this canal. At the conclusion of their consideration of this matter, Commissioner Mead said he and the government is not concerned with the actual cost per acre or how the cost of the crosscut canal is assessed. But when the association or corporation representing all the water users of this unit has been formed, he will want a contract with them under which they will agree to repay the government the three million dollars which it is to be called upon to spend and the association can opportion the costs among land owners as it sees fit and can determine whether a common price shall govern all the lands or whether those served from the crosscut canal shall pay more than those getting water from the Echo reservoir. The reservoir in contemplation will hold more water than will be required by the sixty thousand acres to be represented in the association, but once the association is obligated to pay the cost of the reservoir and it can use its own discretion as about selling surplus water. The government, the commissioner made plain, is concerned solely with getting a contract under which it will be fully reimbursed for its investment; it wants to deal only with the association or corporation, or whatever body is formed, and that body in turn will deal with the individuals. ' Would Change Income Tax Plan Washington. Reduction of income taxes to the limit the treasury surplus will permit was advocated by Senator Harris of Georgia, .who issued a statement declaring that married peo- ple whose income does not exceed $5000 should be exempt from such ,taxes. He also would exempt those whose taxable income is not more than $500 since he said since it cost the government more to collect than it receives from such taxes. Senator Harris predicted that a saving of more than $1,300,000,000 could be effected through a proper reorganization of the government departments.

Six foreign underground drug handlers arrested will be expelled from Mexico under article 33 as undesirable foreigners. Several American and Chinese now under surveillance will probably share the same fate. As the rogues were arrested on drug charges, they avoided direct action of the law by securing amparos, Mexicos equivalent to the habeas corpus, and President Calles cut the Gordian knot, from f which there is no appeal. e. well-know- n components are all standard, and the number and arrangement of the various stages are given just as a suggestion to the experimenter. As a matter of fact, the writer strongly recommends the reader to commence experiments with only three stages of R, F as the selectivity will be found to be so great, in a s comreceiver using good ponents, that two condensers will be found to he quite enough to handle. It matters little whether the tickler coll is coupled to the aperiodic aerial coll or to the wave trap inductance. Those who prefer to use plug-icoils can use an ordinary three-coholder in this position. Similarly, plug-i- n coils, mounted inside the cabinet, may be used for the interstage R. F. chokes, which are shown variable in the diagram. This variability is desirable because, in a sense, a choke coil of this sort Is not A coil which absolutely aperioidic. will present sufficient impedance to a certain frequency to cause the necesof oscillation amplitude, sary build-uwill present a negligible impedance to another much lower frequency. coils are used, they Thus, If plug-ican be changed to suit the wave length being received. Nos. 150, 200 or 250 will cover the American broadcast band satisfactorily. Alternative Choke Coil. An alternative choke coil which can be made up by those who desire maximum possible efficiency on any given wave length consists of 150 turns of No. 40 s. s. c. resistance wire wound on a former about 2 inches in diameter. Tappings are taken to a rotary switch from the ends oi the coil, and from the fiftieth turn From the fiftieth turn to the one hundred and twentieth tappings are made at every tenth turn. The switch for this coil may be mounted on the face of the panel, or, more conveniently, on the end of the coil, which can lie mounted on the baseboard. This is a point for the experimenter himself to settle. The interstage R. F, wave trap coils may be wound as cylindrical coils, and the few turns of the aperiodic plate coils wound over the central part of the winding. In this way turns can easily be put on or taken oft during the course of experiments. The aerial colls can be made up in the same manner if plug-I- coils are not used. There is, of course, no reason why s coils of the various special basket-woun- d types should not he made up, the few turns of the aperiodic coils being wound on the same former to insure tight coupling. Having familiarized himself with the method of tuning, the experimenter may proceed to add as many stages of R. F. as he pleases, but if more than three are employed It is practically essential that a multiple condenser he used in conjunction with carefully matched coils. Suggestions of Lay-OuThe main tiling to hear in mind t is to avoid when arranging the overcrowding in the R. F. circuits and to so arrange all coils that no interaction can occur between them. Using only three stages of R. F. and no A. F., many Britishers report loudspeaker signals from American stations almost every night, with an unusual absence of fading and freedom This alone speaks from distortion. volumes for the efficiency of the receiver, for, although many different types of receivers in use in England today will bring in American stations regularly, fading, swinging and night effect distortion are almost always present. As regards selectivity, it has been found possible, within a mile or so of the local station, to completely tune it out and receive uninterruptedly upon a wave length within a few meters of It. well-laid-o- low-los- n il p n ten-poi- n low-los- t. lay-ou- Things to Remember in Care of Dry Batteries A dry battery will not stand much abuse. If it Is accidentally dropped one or more of its Internal connections is liable to he broken, or the sealing compound on its top might become cracked, through which moisture can seep, causing a leakage between cells, which acts as a continual drain If dust accumulates on the battery. on the top of the battery, wipe it off with a dry cloth, never with a wet rag, as this, too, will cause a drain or leakage between the terminals until such time as the moisture evaporates. Metal articles, such as trays, shears, metal pencils, etc., if placed on a battery, will cause a possible short circuit. Use Fine Sandpaper to Keep Phone Jacks Clean Dirty contacts of phone jacks will produce sizzling and frying noises in the headphones or loud speaker. The simplest way to clean these jack contacts is to let them close on a piece of fine sandpaper and then pull the sandpaper out. Repeat this process with the sandpaper turned over and then both contacts are surely clean. Do not use emery paper, because emery powder is conductive and may par tlnily short circuit the jack.
