LA\V; OBSEBVMCE.
Once againthe judgment and am-
cit! act of the Norwalk Board of Esti-
“to and Taxation has been repudiat—
ed by a judge of the Superior Court.
thereby upholding law observance in
our community.
The last session of the General Ae-
“ably changed the charter of the
Qty of Norwalk placing the. entire
control of Fhe Board of Education in
their own hands and requiring the
mi! of Estimate and Taxation to ap-
“obviate such funds as the school of-
ficials believed to be necessary for the
maintainance of the schools, The es-
timate board assumed an attitudeof
- mace at variance with charter
mvisions and entirely ignored the
law in making up the school budget.
'I'hey appropriated a much smaller
amount than was called tor by the
Board of Education. Now the Super-
ior Court orders that they correct
their error and observe the law.
It. isn't so much important that this
additional sum be granted as it is to
have observance of our laws firmly es-
tablished in the minds of the people.
The masses'generally recognize this
principle. \V'hy. therefore. should a
body of picked men place themselves
above the law and proceed along lines
wholly unwarranted.
It must be apparent to some of the
members of the Board of Estimate
and Taxation that their public service
is not such as to» warrant commenda-
tion. Rumors have been afloat that
certain members of the board have ex-
preued their intention to resign if the
school issue was decided against them.
It now remains to be. seen if they
follow this sane course.
Let. us hope that the time is not far
distant win all officials and citizens
will observe the law seriously.

THE B‘IIRACITLOUS TUBE.
If there is one. thing about radio
communication that is more wonder-
ful than another. and which ought to
have adequate appreciation from the
radio fans. it is certainly the vm-uum
tube amplifier. Electric experts seem
to consider this the Vcry summit of
modern scientific achievement.
It is merely a litle glass tube. about
the size of a tiny pill bottle. which can
be carried in the vest pocket. Yet
many great scientists have contributed
to it. among them Edison. Marconi
and De Forest; more than SLIHNLOOO
has been spent on its development.
and it is the subject already of several
hundred patents. There, is the trans-
. .‘_____———————————
tungsten wire. a spiral wire and a
metal plate. A very simple combina-
tion. surely! And what will it do?
It will multiply sound as you multi-
ply a number. By means of this tube.
says Earl C. Hanson. President
Harding’s voice was multiplied more
than a million times when he gave his
inaugural address. The function of
the tube is to catch a feeble vibration
on. the same in quality but with an
added volume of energy. One tube will
multiply a sound 10 times. two tubes
in succeuion 100 times. three tubes
1.000 times. etc. Apparently it is not
impossible thus to magnify delicate
sounds a billion times.
Present interest in the device is lim-
ited mainly to its use in this marvel-
ous new toy. the rudiotelephone. With-
out it. broadcasting would be impos-
sible. It catches the faint energy
spread in all directions by the send;
ing machine. and makes it as load and
clear as the original sound. or more
so. Its additional possibilities have
hardly begun to be appreciated. Mr.-
Hanson use: it in one device by which
a vesel can move through a crowded
harbor in a fog without a- pilot. and in
another device for the use of the deaf.
If there is any power of beam at all.
isurely a pemn should be able to hear
tordinary sounds when mulled an

changes taking place in matter.

devices. equally simple in construction.
and with equally great potentialities.
