generation controllcd through mani-
pulation Of a. .0005 mfd- variable
condenser connected across the'
phones and ")3" battery.
his method is shown in Fig. 1.
and often has several advanmges
over the more usual method of us-
ing a variable iickier. Ticklcr de-
tunlng is rcduesfil to nil. and opera-
tion of the circuit becomes some-
what more smooth. This is a dis-
tinct gain.
The theory of operation, as up
plained before, is that the r.f. cur—
rents must ordinarily pass through
the phones and "8" battery in order
to complete the circuit from plate to
filament. However, the resistance of
the phones and battery may be such
that it is quite difficult to get oscil-
lation with normal tickler coupling.
However. by inserting n condenser
around the phones and battery. the
radio frequency energy will be “by-
passed" through the condenser. and
oscillation becomes decidedly more
easy. By making this condenser
variable, so that no can control the
amount of r.f. being "by—passed" we

An improvement over Fig. 1
shown in Fig. 2. Here. in order to
insure that no radio frequency will
try to sneak through the phohcs. we
have inserted a. choke in the phone
and battery circuit. This choke of-
fers a: very high resistanceto the
radio frequency currents. and these
oscillations are thereby forced to
tako the path through. the. conden-
ser "VC~1“. As in the Fig. 1 cir«
cult. oscillation is controlled by ad-
justment of the condenser."VC-1".
but is somewhat more positive in
action than Fig. 1. The choke may
be a 1,000 turn honeycomb coil, or
may consist of 500 turns of No. 28
d.c.c. wire on a 3 1~2 inch lube.
Still another way. and perhaps the
best. is shown in Fig. 3. Here we
have broken the plate circuit, and
inserted a resistance “R" of about
5000 ohms. This may be a Lavile
resistance. This condenser “VG-3"
is the usual .0005 mfd throttle con—

girl which Ice cream parlor silo pro-

THANK YOU.
Unless a girl is bethrothed, it is
not in good taste for her to suggest
where she would like to so. unless
the boy asks her for suggestions.
The same rule applies to refresh-
ments. Some girls like one thing:
about boys and others like other
things. Very often the fact that a.
boy is handsome wins a. girl. but
sometimes it is because he is an
athlete. a loyal friend. a gbod talk-

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I have two
sisters. one living with me and the
other one at home, and they clmm
together quite a bit. The one living
at home is very pretty and lively
and has no trouble in having dates,
but to me they seem of a question-
able character. The sister living
with Inc does hot try to get dates.
but sometimes goes along as an ex-
tra. She always tells me about the
boys and men that my younger sis-
ter goes with. She meets those fel-
lmvs at the homes of girl friends as
my father does not think she is Old
enough for company. She is almost
eighteen and should be allowed to
have company at. home I believe.
She lies to mother about where she
goes and what she does and of
course mother believes her and does
not question her about her company

The outbreak occurred at Quinsan,‘
near here, on the line of the Shan-

of the armed clash, traffic on the
railroad between Shanghai ’and

The dispatch to _thc newspaper
says that Chi Shieh-Yuan has sent
a regiment of artillery and other
forces from Nanking to Quinsan.
The outbreak has distrurbed the.

PERPLEXED.
Tell your mother and father that
you think your sister is old enough
to entertain her friends. including
young men. in her home. Say that
she has reached an age where she
will have good times away from
home if not( at home and you feel
it would be far safer to give her
more freedom at home. If you tell
your parents what. your sister is do~
lng she will feel that you are he: on-

dislike you for your attempted kind-
ness. But. if you use your influence
to make your parents see she is no

BROTHER INTERFERES
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a girl
in my teens. I have some girl
friends who go places with buys and
have a good time and nothing ls
ever said. but when I go and try to
have a gOOd time something always
happens, either some friend or my
brother says something which hurts
the boy’s feelings and it makes me
feel badly. Is it. right for my bro-
brother should interfere in your at.
fairs before your friends. If he has
objections he should state them at
home to you and your parents. It is
certainly strange that your friends
as well as your brother do things to
hurt the feelings of the boy you are
with. Perhaps greater tact on your
part would prevent trouble. Try to
see why it is you are always a vic-
tim while your friends never are. .

Representative
Browne Wants
Change Made to Stop
Filibusters ’ f" .,
. -e»
"Two great basic handicaps to em-
cient legiciation in the. House of Rep-
resentativcs can be attributed to the
attitude of the members themselves,"
declares Congressman Charles
Browne of New Jersey-in the Sept-
(-lnbcr Scribner's Magazine; "One is
the obsession, held by many mem-
bers. that they are elected by their
own party for the sole pdrpose of
harassing the other party.
"The other handicap. and pro-
btrbiy of more importance in the
House. is the shadow of the com-
ing election falling upon every mem-
ber. and without doubt influencing
his judgment. whether he be con-
seious of it or not."
Congressman Browne. who be-
came noted in the last Congress for
his revolt against the Democratic
caucus on the Mellon bill. in his ar-
tile "What's the Matter with Con-
gress?" discusses the matter from
various points of view but finds in
the personal equation and the 'rather
general idea in the United States
that law can cure every evil or even
present discomfort" the main faults
with the legislatives system.
"We have encumbered our Con-
gress with interminable rules," he
says with regard to this last, "and
a. great waste of time is the result;
and since these rules offend they
should be simplified and changed so
that sugh pnthologic legislatives per-
formances as filibustering would be
and the clear purpose of Congress
rendered easy of accomplishment."
He gives one instance (if a filibuster
in which a member addressed the
chair 135 times in one day. x
Concerning the members them-
selves. the Congressman remarked
“Taken all in all and eliminating
one or two megaiomanics, the mem-
bers of the House of Representatives
would pass as a group of reasonably
intelligent. not particularly" well-
groomed but quite reponsible busi-
ness men. They would appear to be
able to conduct the business of the
government well and expeditiously.
“'ell. do they do it? And if not?
Why the tremendous waste ofgtime,
making business which should be
done in weeks_ drag itself through
months? \Vhy this interminable
wouldn't be tolerated in any business
directorable. and why these endless
ceays in "The Congressional Record’
which have no bearing on ligisla-
lion? The answer is politics. or ra-
ther a. misconception of politics."
Much of the trouble can be. re-
medied by the voters. the Congress-
man hciioves. Ho disparage: the ne-'
ernncc of the public vitriolic. mud-
siinging canvas-es.
“As a rule the men who come to
Congress are what. one might call
the political type. 0! necessity they
must be. and it. is no particular
criticism to say that the substratum
of their mental background is ego—
tism. This must be so. since each
one has gained office through a per-
sonal campaign in which he' has dc-
votcd his time and his speeches to
proving how much superior he is to
all others who are contesting his
right to interpret the will of the
people.
"The Office may seek the man.
but it” it does so its quest has been
so infrequent as to escape observe-
lion. It is this fact that makes the
selection of a. candidate on account
of his qualifications for a particular
office a rarity. This does not mean.
however, that an office-holder is
usually not qualified for the service
he enters.”
Dr. Browne. who is a physician.
whose home is at Princeton, is serv-
ing his first term in Congress as
Representative from the Fourth
District of New Jersey. According
to his own statement he “drifted
into politics unintentionally" by
taking a postion as Overseer of the
Poor in Princeton to which no one
else was willing to give the time
and attention. His salary was fifty
dollars a year. Following that he
was elected mayor of Princeton for
four consecutive terms. once' with
the endorsement. of both parties.
and then accomplished the feat. of
being elected to Congress on‘the
Democratic ticket fro ma. district
which normally gives a strong Re~
pubiican majority.

CHAPTER XIV
THE CONVERT
That tale of ‘Othmani's being
borhe anon to Fensileh by her son
was gal and wormwood to her jeal-
goul eon]. Evil enough to know that
Sahel-Baht was returned in spite
of the fervent prayers for his foun—
had addressed
both to the God‘of her forefathers
God of her adoption.
But that he should have returned
in triumph bringing with him heavy
spoils that must exalt him further
in the aaection. of Asad and the
esteem of the people was bitterness
indeed. It left her mute and strick.
, en. bereft even of the power to
daring which she
andtotbe
curse him.
Anon. whe’n her mind recovered
from the shock she turned it to the
consideration of what at first
seemed a trivial detail in Othmani's
tale as reported by Marsak.
“It was most singularly odd that
he should have undertaken that
long voyage to England to wrest
thence just those two captives:
that being there he should not have
raided in true corsair fashion and
packed his ship with slaves. Most
singularly odd ! "
They were alone behind the
green lattices through which fit-
tered the perfume'e of the garden
and the throbbing of a nightingaie's
voice laden with the tale of its love
for the rose. Fenzileh reclined
upon a divan that was spread with
silken Turkey carpets. and one of
her gold-embroidered slippers had
dropped from her henna-stained
toes. Her lovely arms were raised
to support her head, and she stared
up at the lamp of many colors that
hung from the fretted ceiling.
Mersak paced the length of the
chamber back and forth, and there
was silence save for the soft swish
of his slippers along the floor.
"Well?” she asked him impatient-
ly at last. "Does it not seem odd
to thee?” ‘
. "Odd, indeed. O my mother.” the
youth replied. coming to a halt be-
fore her.
“And canst think of naught that
‘ was the cause of it?"
“The cause of it?" quoth be. his
,lovely young face. so closely mod-
eled upon her own. looking blank
and vacant.
"Aye. the cause of it," she cried
“Canst do naught but

He recoiled before the ltalia
fury of her, was dully resentful
even. suspecting that in such words
from a women. were she twenty
times his mother. there was some-
thing diehonoring to his manhood.

At this threat that strange wo-

cheek against his own. Not’eigh—

with infinite scorn and a hint
of rippling. contemptuous laughter
running through the word. “An-
swered indeed. Sakr-el-Bahr risks
the lives of two hundred children
of Islam and a ship that, being
taken, was become the property of
the State upon a voyage to Eng-
land that had no object but the cap-
turing of two slaves—two slaves,
when, had his purpose been sincere.
it might have been two hundred.”
"Ha! And is that all that thou
hast heard?" he asked her, mocking
in his turn.
“All that signifies.” she replied.
still mirroringvherself. "I heard
as a matter of lesser import that
on his return meeting fortuitously
a Frankish ship that chanced to be
,richly laden be seized it in thy
name."
' “Fortuitously, sayest thou?”
“What else?"
met his own quite fearlessly.
"Thou’ll not tell me that it was
any part of his design when he
went forth?"
He frowned; his head sank slow-
ly in thought. Observing the ad-
vantage gained.-she thrust it home.
"It was a lucky wind that blew
that Dutchman into his path. and
luckier still her being so richly
fraught that he may dazzle thine
eyes with the sight of gold and
gems. and so blind thee to the real
purpose of his voyage."
"its real purpose?" be asked
dully. ”What was its real pur-
pose?"
She smiled a smile of infinite
knowledge to hide her utter igno-
rance, her inability to supply even
a reason that should wear an air
of truth.
“Dost ask me, O persplcuous
Asad? Are not thine eyes as
sharp, thy wits as keen at least as
mine, that what is clear to me
should be hidden from thee? Or
hath this Saknel-Bahr bewitched
thee with enchantments of Ba-
byl?"
He strode to her and caught her
wrist in a cruelly rough grip of his
sinewy old hand.
“His purpose. thou jade! Pour
out the foulness of thy mind.
Speak!"
"I will not speak," said she.
“Thou wilt. not? Now, by the
Head of Allah! Dost-dare to stand
before my face and defy me, thy
lord? I’ll have thee whipped, Fen-
zilch. I have been too tender of
thee these many years—so tender
that thou hast forgot the rods that
await the disobedient wife. Speak.
then. ere thy flesh is bruised or
speak thereafter at thy pleasure."
“I will not." she repeated.
“Though I be flung to the books.

She was groveling now. a thin;-
of supplest grace, her lovely arm
entwining his knees.
“When my love for. thee drives
me to utter what I see I earn but
thy anger, which is more than I
can endure. I swoon beneath the
weight of it.”
He flung her off impatiently.
"What a weariness is a women’s
tongue!" he cried. and stalked out
again. convinced from past expe-
riences that did he linger he would
be whelmed in a torrent of words.
But her poison was shrewdly ad-
ministered and slowly did its work.
It abode in his mind to torture him
with the doubts that were its very
essence. No reason. however well
founded, that she might have urged
for Sskr—el-Bahr’s strange conduct
could have been half so insidious
as her suggestion that there was a
reason. 7 it gave him something
vague and intangible to consider.
Something that he could not repel
since it bad no substance he could
grapple with. Impatieutiy he
awaited the morning and the com-
no longer awaited it with the
ardent’whole-hesrted eagerness as
of a father awaiting the coming of
a beloved son.
