The days of the Shriners’ converition of 1923 in Washington were recalled with pleasure by “Sunny Jim" Mc Candless, past imperial potentate of the Mystic Shrine. at a luncheon of the Caravan Club of Almas Temple in the City Club vesterday. In referring to this convention, when he was impe- rial potentate, Mr. McCandless de- clared the Shriners had never had a better time than in Washington. Maj. Gen. Amos A. Fries, president, introduced Assistanj Secretary of War Hanford MacNider, who demurred at making an address. but the potentate of Almas Temple, Charles D. Shackel- ford, asserted his authority and com- manded him to speak, whereupon Col. MacNider responded with a brief ad- dress. Mr. Shackelford, in a brief address. urged all members of Aimas Temple to join in welcoming Shriners stopping over in this city while on their way to the meeting of the Imperial Council of the Mystic Shrine in Philadelphia, June 1, 2 and 3 Other guests at the luncheon in cluded Past Potentate of Almas Tem ple Leonard P.

GOODING DEMANDS FARM BILL ACTION Warns Senate That Congress Will Not Adjourn Without Grant- ing Some Relief. Warning_ was sounded by Senator | Gooding, Republican. of Idaho in the Senate vesterday that Congress will not adjourn in the near future unless something 1s done for the farmers. In bezinning a lengthy address on the farm situation Senator Gooding said rumors are current “that no legis- lation will pass the House today.” He said the reports reaching him were at the pending farm bills in the se would be referred back to com- mittees and that an effort might be made to substitute the Tincher or Aswell bill 1 hope these reports are not true.” d Senator Gooding, “because un the House passes something the farm- €is can accept Congress is not going 10 adjourn at a very early date.” Senator Gooding then referred to a series of luncheons held recently by Senators interested in farm legisla- tion, and he declared that the mem- bers attending these discussions were almost unanimous in the belief that there should be no adjournment until action is taken on farm relief legis- lation, SHERIFF MAY BE FREED. | Parole Recommended Don Chafin.

NEW YORK, May 22 (P).—Britain is drying up a bit because the high price of whisky and beer is making intoxication a luxury which the mass- es cannot afford, as the situation is viewed by the “Bishop of Billings- gate.” That is the nickname of Pre- bandry Wilson Carlile of St. Paul's Caghedral, London, who is paying us a visit.

The weather has been exonerated of | all blame in the spolling of radio re- ception, according to the report made by the General Electric Co. on a serles of broadcast wave propaganda tests conducted from January 1 to May 8. The General Electric Co. believes it | has obtained substantiation of the theory that radio waves split into ground waves and a sky wave in| passage from transmitter to receiver. Changes in the upper atmosphere. af- fecting the sky waves, rather than | the weather conditions at compara- tivaly short distances above the earth, | are believed responsible for the brief accurrences of poor reception condi- tions. Ground Wave Weakens. In making its case for the split- wave theory it is pointed out that from the tests it appears when a broadcast program is transmitted from an antenna one wave passes along the earth and the other proh. ably 100 miles or more above the earth, continuing .unreflected. down upon the receiver by a semi-conduct ing layer in the atmosphere. The| ground wave, it is found, weakens rapidly and becomes negligible about 200 miles from the broadcasting sta- tion and reception at greater distance is due entirely to the sky wave. “From present analysis of data | compiled from the tests.” it is sald. “I seems probable that barometer and weather have only a minor effect | on radio conditions.” | Weather Stops Short. Over short distances, up to 300 er 400 miles, 1t is explained, the weather | and barometric pressurs may have ! some effect_on the strength of radio | programs, but at greater distances the conditions on_the surface of the earth appear to have nothing what- ever to do with radio reception. Weather conditions. it Is pointed out, ! extend not more than 10 miles ahove | the earth’s surface. Conditions during February were found to he especially unfavorable for reception. LAUREL AUTO RACES WILL BEGIN JUNE 19 Foreign and American Speediest Cars to Compete in Events in Bowl This Summer. Automobile racing on the Washing ton-Washington speedway. at Laurel, Md., will be renewed this Summer. Announcement that arrangements had been made for the opening of the sea. son with a race on June 19 was mads today by speedway officials. Details of the agreement were com- pleted at a conference between officials of the speedway and Albert R. Jacobs. secreta reasurer of the National Motor Racing Association, under the sanction of which this yvear's events | will be conducted. Mr. Jacobs sald the fastest cars made in this country and in Europe | would appear on the Laurel track. They will include, in addition to the | Miller and Dusenberg machines. such | noted speed products as the Mercedes, Bugatti, Peugeot and Frontenac, which long have heen to the fore in the famous speedway classics across the sea. | These cars will be piloted by the most skilled drivers of the N. M. R. A., in whose ranks are many who have experience on both dirt and board | speedways and have driven in events like the annual 500-mile race at In-! dianapolis. | An opnortunity to see the cars hum. | ming around the Laurel bowl will be given racing followers shortly after May 31, on which date the N. M. R. A. drivers will inaugurate a new Tren- ton-Philadelphia speedway at Lang- horne, Md. Participants in this race will come to the Maryland track al-| most immediately afterward to begin | tuning their cars for the June 19 race. | WOMEN’S VJIVLL‘SA FILED. | Mrs. Ellen C.

Probably many fans haye wondered why the negative lead of the “B" battery is usually connected with the positive side of the “A" bittery lead, thus connecting the negative of the “B" battery with_the positive leg of the filaments of the tubes. This con- | nection i not chosen arbitrarily as some fans who have experimented with connections on either side may suppose. As far as actual operation of the receiver is concerned, no differ- ence will be noticed with the nega- tive “B”_battery lead to the positive or to the negative of the “A' battery. The conmection of the negative 2 battery” lead with the positive “A" battery lead is determined. by consid- erations which affect tube economy. Greatest tube economy and long- est service life of the fllament is ob- tained when the filament is operated at constant voltage and under condi- tions which prevent any increases in current. , When the - negative lead of the “B” battery is connected with the negative lead of the “A” battery an unequal distribution of current in the flament results which causes g reduc- tion in the service Jifé of the filament. It is for this reason that the nega- tive “B" battery lead should be con- nected with the positive lead of the A" battery. . Ry 1f vou are using a recelver equiipped with filament'contrdl jacks, you may be puzzled by the fact that’when you tune ina station on the first jack and then switch to the last stage, you find it necessary to rendjust the amplified ! Glamens shsestat. . The reason for this is very simple. When you are plunged into the first stage jack, the fllament control springs cut off the current supply. to the last tube and the rheostat ds con- trolling the current only through the first amplifier tube. When you shift the plug to the last stage jack, the filament of the last tube is connected In parallel with the first amplifier tube. Under such_conditions, .the re- sistance of the two tubes in parellel cians, Forum and Orchestras | Also Scheduled. ‘The annual radio concert of the In- terstate Male Chorus, directed by Clyde B.
