4 FRIDAY, JUNE 30, 193%. BOAOOL ATUDY The Pirate Seven started eut om an overnight hike on Friday of last week. That night when we were sitting around the fire doing nothing much Herb Woods suggested we tell stories. "I'll tell you a pioneer and Indian Story," says Herb. "Sounds lltke good stuff." says I. "Let's hear it." So Herb started in. "In Pennsylvania in the early Pioneer days was a pioneer settlement. One late fall the pioneers got reason $0 believe that the Indians were planning to attack them. The settle- ment was pretty well scattered, so, for Protection, the people put up a small Jog fort and everybody moved in, "For a couple of weeks the people Stayed in the fort and the Indians @idn't come. The fort was small. The Weather was warm. The settlers, not daring to venture far from the stock- @de, became Impatient and restless. "Among the settlers was a family samed ller. There was Mr. and Mrs. Miller and Joe Miller, sixteen Years old. They moved into the fort @nd then Mr. Miller took a horse and #tarted for Philadelphia for help. "One bright October morning Joe Miller decided he wasn't going to #pend that day in any stockade. Chestnuts ought to be about ready for gathering, he figured. to spend the day in the woods gather- ing nuts, Indians or no Indians. 'Be careful, Joe,' says his mother 'when he started out with his rifle and an empty powder bag for nuts. Joo promised, and said he'd return before dark. "Joe spent the whole day four or five miles from the fort. He was hav- ing a grand time when he noticed the sun was getting low. 'I'd better be hiking back,' thinks he. But he hadn't gone more than ten yards when there 'was a yell, a crackling of bushes and an Indlan in war-paint leaped out at him, 'Joe was some surprised. But he didn't lose his wits. He swung his gun over his head and landed it on the Indian's. The gun broke and the Indian toppled over. Joe dropped the broken gun and ran. 'That Indian be- longs to a bunch of others,' he thought. 'They're probably heading So he planned J the Indian had attacked Joe. More indians! And they were chasing Joe! Their shouts seemed to come nearer. Joe stepped on it. The yells became fainter. "Then Joe discovered he was run- ning in the opposite direction of the fort. He was headed for his own family's cabin. he, 'that's all right. get my canoe and . river to the fort. I'll get there quicker than I would by running through the woods. : 'He found the cance where hidden it, river and headed for the had settled comfortably in the boat when from the shore came a 'bing! bing!' There was a whiz and a plop! --a bullet struck the side of Joe's cance. Another whiz and a bullet hit the blade of his paddle. "Joe knew it wouMn"t do to con- tinue paddling in gun-shot of the In- diens. But there wasn't anything-- another whis interrupted his thoughts. The bullet tore through the sleeve of Joe's Jacket, posed they had finished the boy. No more shots were fired. "For fully fifteen minutes Joe stayed in the bottom of the boat. Then he slowly raised himself and looked to the shore. No Indians in sight. He took up his paddle and set out again for the fort. He reached it in a short time, unmolested. "As S00 gna he was inside the fort Joe told Ms story. Every man and boy in the place got his rifle and powder ready and stood at a loop - hole. "The sun was just disappearing when the settlers sighted Indians at the edge of the fort clearing. The Indians attacked. But the settlers were ready. After half an hour's bat- tling the Indians gave up. Joe had saved the fort." And then we went to bed. --AL STUBB, Scribe of the Pirate Seven. ANDWER TO YESTERDAY S What three Ammals Are these ?

With a little care he was all right again, but by the time he was able to hop about he had made up his mind to stay with Gene, and stay he did. He was always rumning in and about the house and yard, dropping down from unexpected places, and chattering and scolding gaily, or rid- ing around on Gene's shoulder, He was so small, he would often curl up in the pocket of Gene's coat and go to sleep, and you'd bardly know he was there. When the fam- ily decided to go up to the lakes for 4 couple of months, no one even thought of taking Reddy--that is, no one but Gene. The evening they left was cool, and Gene carried his over- coat, and fn the pocket of it was Reddy, who promptly west to sleep, When he woke up, he seemed to be moving very fast; and he heard strange sounds He peeped ,out wonderingly. Everything was dark. He seemed to be in a funny little room. Gene was there, all right, but he was asleep. Reddy was curious. He hopped out and found himself in a sort of alsle. He hopped along it, looking for company, but everything was quiet. : He decided to go back to Gene, but had forgotten just where Gene was. He started to find him. Gene was awakened by a woman scream- Ing, "Oh, oh! Something's in here! Something--'"" Heads popped out of the berths. Gene felt in his pocket. His heart sank. Somewhere another Woman screamed, a man was grunting and shouting for lights. He'd felt Something queer run over him, too. Gane saw a pair of bright eyes peer. ing at him nearby. "Reddy!" he called softly. And Reddy came. They left the train early in the morning, before Reddy was foeling bright again. The porter still tells about the queer "ha'nts' that visited his train one night, "a-trailin' they shostly fingers over folks' faces, and Jumpin' on them, and then disap pearin'." | SUMMER SHOES WHITE SHOES in | or 2 Strap, | or 2 Buckle WHITE, OXF ORDS, Tan or Patent trimmed, with low, flat heels. ----Same styles in Patent Leather, Fine Kid Lea- Phone 159 ther, Brown Calf and Gunmetal.

When head telephone receivers &re used for reception, not a great deal of energy, comparatively, is required for their operation. If the signals are quite weak, however, it may become necessary to step up the signal voltage in one or more stages of amplification, so that its amplitudes will be suf- ficient to cause the necessary plate eurrent variations in the last tube, The response in the telephones does depend upon the amplitudes of the plate current variations in this last tube. The amplification factor is a very important consid- eration "in this connection. It is the ratio between plate current change caused by a given voltage change applied to t'e grid and an equal voltage charge applied to the plate. The higher the amplifi- cation constant the greater the response in the head telephones for the same applied grid voltages. The factor depends principally upon the construction of the tube, but does increase with the plate potentials applied. When a negative potential is ap- plied to the plate by connecting ft to the negative terminal of the "B" battery. no current flows in the plate circuit and the internal tube resistance is infinite to direct current. When the plate is con- nected, as it should be, to the posi- tive "B" battery terminal, it has a positive potential applied to ft and the interna plate to filament resistance is a finite value, depend- ing upon the plate voitage within limits. This resistance. decreased with an increase in plate potential, and vice-versa. The plate circuit Contains the prir ary winding of a' transformer whose secondary is connected into the gric circuit of the following amplifier tube in cas- cade cognection. The primary, has a certain average Iimpecance to the average frequency of the plate current variations, and this i.ust be greater than plate to {'lament internal resistance of the tube to which it is connecteu. If the amplifier tubes are connected in cascade after the detector tube,' it is, of course, audio frequencies which are dealt with, since the, radio frequencies are suppressed by the impedances of the trans.' former windings. As high an'am- plification factor as possible is de- sirable, so as to accomplish as much voltage amplification in one stage as possible. Since this fac-! tor increases with plate potential,' it is desirable to use the higher values. The higher the normal plate potential, however, the high- er the steady plate current and the sooner the "B" batteries will run down. Also, the Ligher the plate potential the lower will be the in- ternal tube resistance. The cor rect potential depends upon the tube used and also upon the volte age varfations applied to the grid, since it is desirable to have as low! a value of steady plate current as possible, in order to lengthen tha life of the plate battery, { A Herald-8un Feature.

As will be seen in the illustration, there is a knurled thumbscrew om the back of e.ch receiver case. This {i an adjusting screw, by means of which the posi- tion of the magnets, with respect to the diaphragm, may be adjusted. The diaphragms can be set close to the magnets for weak signals and moved further away for the strong signals. The advantage. are the increase of auilbility of the weak signals ¢ || the prevention of diaphragm rattling with strong signals, which might occur if the diaphragms hit the pole pieces of the magnets. Instead of having one large opening in the receiver caps, small holes are provided, which tend to keep the moist re from the ears from reaching the diaphragms and eventually corroding them.

OPPOSITE BIBBY'S i a ---- vr -- Peace or War Real issue in South American Conference Taken from Bolivia by Force of Arms, Chile has Extracted Untold 'Wealth from These Nitrate Beds. By George Hitzler, ! VERYONE knows that a South American Conference is in session in Washington, but few know what it is about, what its object is, and still fewer Americans know what its objective should be, Since the disaster in Europe, and the near bankruptcy that prevails over there, our trade with South America has increased by leaps a bounds. Our trade with the Repub- lics south of Panama last year totaled nearly a billion dollars and we loaned to their governments and their municipalities more than $300,- ; So we have a considerable stake in those countries. If the 'paths of peace and progress are per- sistently followed down there, we shall profit by it. If the tension existing between South American states y to larger military ex- penditures the result will be a great economic loss. As we are practically underwrit~ ing South American business and finance, we would have to shoulder sooner or later our share of that loss. One of the latest South Amer- ican loans is that of $33,000,000 for Bolivia, just floated in New York, the bonds of which are now finding a ready market above par. Americans, therefore, have a real interest in the South American Con- ference now in progress in Wash- ington. The result of its labors means sooner or later peace or war in South America. The most un- settling factor today is the loss of Bolivia and Peru, of their maritime provinces, rich in nitrates and others wise valuable. While Peru suffered territorial mutilation and heavy losses, she remained in possession of a coastline approximating 1,700 miles in length; while Chile ex= tended hers to nearly 6,000 miles. But Bolivia was entirely shut out from commercial communication with the outside world except through Peruvian or Chilean ports and customs houses. The maritime province of Antofogasta was taken from Bolivia and her claims to the districts of Tacna and Arica were denied by Chile. In those days the claims of Bolivia to a seafront were supported by Peru. o impartial American observers in Washington it is becoming clear that the labors of the Cr will prove a failure and the future of South America unsettled for many years, unless Chile modifies her policy of territorial expansion by conquest which she introduced upon Ameszican soil and unless Bolivia is given access to the sea in harmony with the new canon of Keep a shelf of Victory - Pork and Beans Lunch Tongue Compressed Corned Beef Corned Beef Luncheon Beefsteak and Onions Roast Beef Cambridge Sausage Mrs. (Dr.) Dean, Brighton, is the guest of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. L.
