Dr. Petry has also noted that the more nodules a plant of this species has on its roots the larger and thriftier it is apt to te.

In the past vear more than 50 of the broadeasting high schools and universities have turned in_their lic- anses to the Department of Commerce. Twelve of them were among the 29 stations deleted from the list during December. The great expense of maintaining stations and the failure to carry out effective broadcasting on the low wave lengths and low power, were re- sponsible for the gradual surrender- ing of licenses by these educational institutions. Some Have Succe: On the other hand, some univers tles and schools have discovered that educational broadcasting can be con- ducted successfully in co-operation with _long-established, high-powered stations.

SAUNDERS AT PEACE WITH PIGGLY WIGGLY Settlement Satisfactory to Both Sides in Controversy Announced by Attorneys. r station Field KFUM prings, Electr KFXE, Artilles By the Associated Press MEMPHIS, Tenn., January Peace reigns today between the Piggly Wiggly Corporation and Clarence unders, who. for the past two years, have waged a legal war in many courts, State and Federal, and both es are claiming a victory. In the settlement announced by at- torneys for both sides Clarence Saun- ders, former head of the Piggly Wig- gly Corporation and who led the fa- mous fight against “shorts” in Piggly Wiggly stock in Wall Street, is to payv the corporation $150,000 within two vears. The corporation will waive all claims against Mr. Saunders, and he, in turn, will drop litigation against the corporation. The terms of the agree- ment call for a $25,000 payment by Mr. Saunders within 90 days, and other payments will be at stated in- tervals. In the settlement Saunders saves the difference between $150,000 and the $201,000 allowed the corporation against Saunders in a recent Federal court ruling. Suit filed by E. A. Guilfoyle, stock- holder in the Piggly Wiggly Corpora- tion against the directtors of the cor- poration, asking $2,500,000 from them on the ground that they were liable with Saunders for losses alleged to have been incurred in Wall Street transactions, was dismissed yesterday in Chancery Court under a recent de- cree. This was regarded as a victory for the corporation, as the decree will serve as a bar against similar suits in the future. Missing Flyers Found. LAREDO, Tex., January 5 (P).— Lieut. Marion T.

The_ officers said they lost their way. Wondering through the woods, they obtained food and shel- ter from sheep herders. — All Rights Reserved. THE THEORY AND PRACTICE OF TUNING. PART L It is difficult for tHe lay mind not acquainted with the theory of alter- nating current action to grasp the action of a radlo frequency eircuit when tuning to a particular wave length or frequency and tuning out all others. The best way to explain the action that 'takes place is by means of an analogy to an action in common life that 1siyery easyto understand. Most of us Hpve Seen sieves or separators of varionX kinds and action. Some of them are used to sort out rocks of dif- ferent sizes into separate plles or bins; others are used to sort out or separate fruits, such as apples, peaches, lem- ons. etc., into different piles or bins, according to size. The object in each case is te divide a heterogeneous mass of objects of different sizes into sev- eral piles of objects of similar size. In its simplest form a sieve is a container whose bottom is bored or drilled with holes. The sizes of the holes depend on the size of the ob- jects which it is desired to separate from the rest. Suppose that we have a mass of ob- Jects of different sizes, as shown in the diagram. These range in size from the largest, shown at “A,” to the smallest, shown at “E.” In this par- ticular case we want to sort out the " size from all the others. Ths: sizes shown In the diagram mere show the approximate range of five sizes. There are actually thousands in the pile, so that hand sorting would be out of the question. A sim- ple way of sorting out the “C™ si from ail the others would be to make two sorting sieves. The first sieve should be drilled with holes that are slightly larger than the “C" siz that ail objects of size “C” and small er will pas through. The holes Should be small enough to keep out all objects larger than “C,” so that objects of sizes “A" s nd “B" would not be allowed to pass through the mesh of the sieve The next step is to whose holes or mesh is stop the objects of size *'C ing through, but which all those that are smaller through. These two operations serve to sep- arate the required sizes from the larger and smaller sizes. While the action of the two sieves is not exact the same mechanically with the actlon that takes place in an electrical high-frequency circuit when tuning in a signal, it Is si enough to serve for purposes of illus tration. If the two sieves signed—that is, when the first sieve 1s just slightly larger than the de- sired size and the second sieve is just slightl maller than the required size—only objetts of the size desired will be held in the second container, the larger sizes being excluded in the first operation and the smaller ones being excluded in the second opera- tion. 1f, however, the holes in the first sleve are much larger than the | desired size and those in the second | steve are much s sired size, the second container hold widely varying sizes. In a well designed circuit the same thing holds true. If the circuit is properly designed it will permit only a single station to be tuned in at a time and will exclude all other sig- use a sieve such as to from pass- will permit are properly de. will KIPLING Night at 9 P.

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., January 5 ().—Opposition on the Pacific Coast to the international radio test during the week of January 24 to 30 has dwindled to two stations, KFI and KHJ at Los Angeles, with KHJ indi- cating that it might lift its ban against participation. At the outset Pacific Coast stations declined to observe silent hours each night during the test. If KHJ should decide to partici- pate KFI would be the only California station remaining on the air.

Studies of the effect of weather con- ditions on radio reception, by which it may soon be possible to forecast the weather by mnoting the clarity with which programs from near and distant statlons come in, were described to the American Association for the Ad vancement of Science at Kansas City by Prof. J. C. Jensen, professor of physics at Nebraska Wesleyan Uni versity. Prof. Jensen, who is also engineer- in-charge of radio station WCAJ, has been studying the relations of wireless and weather for nearly 10 years. “Actual reception,” he stated, ‘de- pends not only on the signal strength, but on the ratio of signal to static. When the strength Interference begins to approximate the signal strength reception becomes im practicable. ~Static nolses are known to vary from day to day and have been shown to be worst on the ap- proach of a storm area. When the storm has passed, the high area which follows is characterized by settled weather in which ‘atmospherics’ are largely absent." Some of the conclusions which have | been reached as a result of this work are as follows Reception is hest when the broad casting station and the receiving set are within the same area of high at are t of y ubes hard hearing.
