Tailor Made Man” first of his super-features for United Art- ists and coming to the Grand theatre next Sunday, one’'of the most im- "“'portant ‘and ~'most significant film productions of the year. In the supporting cast of twenty- eight players, there- are many who have been “stars in'their own right, both on” stage and sereen. It has been a long time: since any one cast of characters boasted of such light] talent“as ‘Ethel Giandin, Jacqueline Logan, Douglas Gerrard Thomas Jef- ferson, Edyth Chapman, Vicetor Pot- el, Thomas Ricketts, Kate Lester, Eddie Gribbon, Frank Butler and Nellie Peck Sanders. “SHADOWS” AT- THE GRAND THEATRE AGAIN TONIGHT The interpretation of the Chinese character has long been a favorite theme for.iscreen plays but is seen in an entirely new light in “Shad- ows” the Preferred picture persent- ed by P, B. Schulberg which. ends its local engagement.at the Grand theatre today. The picture is based on Wilbur Daniel Steeles prize story, “Ching, Ching, Chinaman,” which was ac- claimed as one of the greafest stories of 1917. The usual run”of motion pictureg put the Chinaman in-a vin- dictive light, but Chaney in “Shad- ows” is the sort of an Oriental that Confucius or some other Chinese sage must have been: kindly; benign and helpful. “THE WALL FLOWER”-AT THE ELKO THEATRE TONIGHT ‘With the mamory of “Come On Over” still fresh in their minds—Be- midji movie patrons will be pleased to know that “Come On Over” was written by the same author, produced by the same company and with the same star as,the now famous Irish! story, “The Wall Flower” which is a BIG NORTHWEST SEEING ~ GROWTH OF A NEW CITY (Continued from page 1) different from all others and built to live in and not exist in, the company promises.

Other southern companies besides, the Long-Bell have. come ‘to | the Northwest seking timber acre- system .of the Northwest has been extended by comstruction or projec- tion more in the past two yeans than it has been since the time of the Hill lines boom. - At times it has beendif- ficult ‘to follow the almost lightening- like transfer of timber tracts, lum- ber mills and the construction or pro- jections of railroads. It was recently announced- at Bend, in central Oregon, that 526,- 000,000 feet of timber, 90. per cent of it yellow pine comprising the Metolius unit of the Warm Spring national forest, soon will be placed on sale, In Northwestern Oregon a Kansas City firm recently took over 217,000 acres of timberland. In Klick- tat county, southern Washington, a great project of timber: lands and mills, the latter with a combined ca- pacity of 300,000,000 feet of stand- ing timber was bought for develop- ment in Clatsop county, Oregon.- A Seattle company recently pur- chased for $650,000 from the bureau of Indian affairs the Point Grenville timber tract north of Aberdeen, ‘Wash., aggregating 305,000,000 feet of standing cedar, spruce, fir, white pine and hemlock. There have been séveral mergers of small companies looking to the combined development of additional tracts at various points in Oregon and announced contem- plated extensions to their milling ca- pacity. One company at least is building a steel and concrete mill, unusual on the timber “front line” and a sure sign of permanency. !

It is said to be a remakablc photoplay. -Lila Lee is his leading woman, and Walter Hiers, famou comedian, has a negro role. Don’ miss it. “PRIDE OF PALOMAR” AT THE ELKO SUNDAY AND MONDA' A virile story of California wit. a powerful theme is, “The Pride O Palomar,” a Cosmopolitan product tion from Peter B. Kyne’s note: novel of ‘the same name, which wil be ‘at the Elko theatre tomorrow an Monday. The leading roles are po trayed by Marjorie Daw and Forres Stanley. The story tells of the struggle o a World War veteran against crush ing interests in his native state, th fight centering around the posses sion of the family ranch, which h¢ finds on his return from overses service, has all but fallen into -thc hands of the enemy. } The picture has an all star cas and has been well produced by Fran Borzage, who direetgd “Humo: . esque”.

Shortage of cars and ships he handicapped lumber movement in the Pacific Northwest for sometime, bu. this Washington, and many com panies have after the first of the year, when a new impetus will be give. the trade, it is believed. The timber . resources in Orego and Washington alone are almost in conceivable, and with all that the lumber industry has learned in tk last generation regarding propaga tion and careful timbering with re. gard to future growth, this, the na tion’s lumber yard, should prove fruitful for many generations yet un. born. - BUILDING TO BE LARGE NEXT YEAR. ACCORDING TO BABSON'S FORECAST (Continued trom page 1) ‘Whereas our normal building total ic about $3,000,000,000, the end of thi: year, we shall have built to the extent of $5,000,000,000.” _'When asked if he did not think that we_have already overdone this build ing boom, Mr. Babson replied: “I do not think so,yvet. I look for continued building activity, both in residential and business building for the greater part of 1923. Beyond that time, T expect a decline. A sur- vey just made by the National Associ- tion of Real Estate Boards shows that, put of a total of 184 cities scattered over the country, 121cities still report & housing shortage. Of the remaining 63 cities, 53 report no shortage and only 10 a moderate shortage. This study corroborates my opinion that there is still much residential building to be done, altho the peak may have been passed.” 5 “What about rent?”, Mr. Babson was asked. * High rents have probably passed their peak. The long swing will be downward. Here again it is a ques- tion of supply and demand. The com- ing decline in rents will not be abrupt, at least, not until this building boom has supplied- more of the shortage. Rental advances for the present are slightly more numerous than de- clines, but in the majority of cities there is no movement either up or ¢ ».< Condemned } ;mphasize #oo. strongly the import- | purt -of -building - at “high profits, - |siderable business was transacted. All farmers ordering clover seed or | “l'of the"Farmers Club Bureau money, Jor down. Gradually, of course, the, irend will turn downward as mhel iemand is more fully supplied. In- dustrial and business rents show urprising stiffness due to business cecovery, but these do not indicate any long continued advance. “I, am particularly optimistic with regard t¢ sugburban building de-: selopment. ‘The boom in city build- .ng will probably not last more than 1 year, but surburban building . is lifferent. Auto' traffic is so con: sested in the big cices that shoppers .ad rether trade.in surburban stores ‘han drive intd the ‘heart of our rrept cities.- Ciby dwellers are looking ‘or homes'in’ the country. I cannot ince of ‘this ‘tendency toward Jutbsn’ expansion.’” y "’s 1Ppe“Statistian \was ;asked. what . ffect~ building, material prices and abor ‘would be likely to have on the suilding outlook. : “That’s where the danger lies,” e replied. “Unless prices of build- ag materials are kept down at least .ear present levels, the people will |- .top building, just as they did in 920, In fact, I do not think we ill see quite so much building next ear unless there is some reduction n costs. | During the next few .onths material prices should show +omq ., seagongl weakness. : }Bl \: ms are as the material dealers start a to boost prices next summer, they All choke off: their business.

The ountry is literally throwing away 1,000,000,000 annually which night be saved for the industry and elp to reduce the cost of construc- ion. Over a half billion dollars’ ssg occurs from lack of employ- sent in the dull seasons, strikes, joor labor management, etc. I am lad to see that wide awake men 1 the contracting business are ex- serimenting with methods to facili- ate building drj the winter time. 'he use of canvas, protection for yricklaying, salamanders and steam ats to prevent freezing of concrete, and ~other methods -of combaditing »ad weather are being more gener- ly -adopted. “But isn't wintier building more expensive?” .queried the inter- riewer. “Yes, but even if the cost is 10 ser cent or 12, per cent greater, the :ontractor (as hag been estimated) could afford to take a smaller profit, and the workmen less wages, rather ‘han, do nothing all winter,” Mr. Babson replied. “Moreover, aan who builds in the winter time as the pick of the labor market. Jften the greater efficiency of win- er labor completely offsets the sther added costs. “Other thingg that make building 30 expensive are high labor turn- over,; Yoor and, inadequate equip- nent, careless handling of material, failure to plan in detail. On the labor side, there are wasteful regu- ations’ ‘and Ttestrictions, requiring skilled men do the work of un- Kkilléd, prohibiting labor saving de- vices, limiting the number of ap- orentices, and so forth. “All these things combine to make ‘he high cost of building. Whep the men who are conducting the indus- ry learn to cut these wastes out,|: then we shall have more building at lower cost to the people, and more profit to the industry.” General business is still improving. The index of the Babsonchart shows general activity but 2 per cent below normal an improvement of 1 per cent during the last week. This is the highest point reached in over two years.

The capacity O is stmply a means of allowing the potential variations across the coupling resistance R to be applied to the grid of the next tube, yet not allowing the “B” battery ap- plled to the plate circuit of a tube to be .applied to the grid of the next. Beczuse of using the condenser to, ,what one might say, insulate the grid from the “B” battery potential, it is necessary fo use a grid leak, to keep the charge which collects on the grid from becoming excessive and reducing the plate current to zero, >.One “of of ‘disadvantages of upled amplifier 18| late battery poten- z il tials are neceéssary. The amplifica- tion per tube of a resistance-coupled amplifier is nét as high as it is for some other methods but it is stable and does not' distort the input as much as do some other methods used which give greater amplification per tube, Resistance-coupled amplifying may be used to amplify either radio or audlo frequency. A method of transforming the' change in plate, current of a vacuum tube to differences in potential is by ‘means of a choke coil. A choke coll consists. of a number of turns of wire wound up In a muldilayer coll and may or may not have an fron core. A coll of this kind offers a high im- pedance to the flow of alternating cur- rent, but has a relatively low direct current resistance. i The choke coll on account of hav- ing a low ohmic resistance, will have a smaller method of coupling, so that Jower “B” battery potentlal can be ‘used on choke coil coupled amplifters and the batterles can be of smaller capacity. The choke coil not only has induct- ance but a certain amount of distrib- uted capacity. The distributed ca- the plate with respect to the filament, | together with the inductance of thei tain definite period.

H Figure XXXI shows the diagram of a threesstdge transformer coupled; amplifier, whefe P and § are respec-’ tively the primaries and secondaries of the coupling transformers.

The greatest advantages of the transformer method of coupling audio frequency amplifiers are the high de- gree of amplification, the relative slmplicity of operation, and the low plate voltage required. Chief among'the disadvantages of the -transformer = coupled - frequency amplifier is noise. ' Also.'the trans- formers amplify different: frequencies to, idifferent degrees, . which ;means .that, when, this type.of coupling is. e’ the, used’ for radiophone receptio! volce 13 digtorted by “the amplifying transformers.- Howeyer, from’s’pra¢ tical standpoint, the ‘average:iimateur will ‘have better ‘results using ‘trans;: jformer coupled audlo frequency;ampli: «fiers than from any other method that can be used with the tubes and equip- ment now available, GREAT BRITAIN VS. AMERICA Radio: Amateurs of Those Countries Pursuing Distinct Courses In Development of Reoceivers, Two separate and distinct courses are being followed by the radio ama- teurs of this country and Great Brit- ain in the development of receiving apparatus for: continuous-wave teleg- raphy and wireless telephony. . Both courses are of the utmost importance to the art, and each will exert a great influence on the future of radio com- munication and ‘entertalnment. The American amateurs have gone ialong the lines of regeneration and {amplification of audible signals, as isvell as development of long-distance ' wessstonce Co@v/eot g?m,c//fib»‘ reception on short waves by the super- heterodyze principle. } On the other side of the Atlantic the iBritish amateurs, restricted in thelr {hobby by ultra-conservative government i’.reg\llntlon-, have turned thelr atten- ltion solely to radio-frequency ampli- :flcntlon.
