OREGON FRIDAY MORNING,' MAY 27. 1921 WITH THE RADIO BOYS When one thinks or radio hp i visualizes a roinplU-ah-d assort-' mcnt of dr-lleate and w,nnrfuli) contrived lctrical apparatus"; ami In many cunt ho I not fur from being right ?n Ms concin tion. It one should glance through the pages of a book or radio his tory he would notice many i h stations and wonder at the many different form and. queer names of the odd looking piece of an pnratus. In almost any new science,, or in fact, any new en deavor of any sort, we find the ffrst attempt of the experiment cr erode and hi apparatus un gainly. So It is tn radio. Today any up-to-date amateur would laugh In acorn at Marconi' crude apparatus, for the modern radio amateur possesses aparatus ihat l second to none In excellence. - Yankee Hoy at Work Almost aa soon as Marconi had proven his system of telegraphy practical and had placed it on a. commercial basts the American boy was discovering In his small hop la the corner of the Imm inent or up in the attic thai he could do the same thins with some scraps of wire uud a few discarded telegraph Instruments. One will be surprised to note how soon the few boys in New York City, the first radio ama teurs, "hams" aa we often call thim, became legion and their weak sparks had increased In power and number until in 1912 congressional action was taken to Spring Weakness Overcome and the blood purified nd ' .vitalized by KJoocPs aisfgn the different claims of radio traffic to iis own disiin.i "Liyer" of wav iongth in ori. r tn minimize 4iit-rferene. t oim eriiinjf We liiKtb "Now. what is a wave length?" How maiiy tiiu's thai question has In-en a:-k-l and how many times it has in-an the first cause of mis4'onception and hindrance to tlioMi- who try to understand why and how the air can be full of traffic, hundreds of station operating at our and yet be pos sible for an operator to select the station he wishes to hear When the aerial and the trans mitting coils are designed fr a station the size is governed by the purpose of the Htation. The amateur i.; allowed to use only a very small aerial, not over 12.r fe-t In l ngth. Including the wires forming the aerial proper, the wires leading to the apparatus and those leading to the ground connection. The commercial out fits, such o.i those used on ships and the coastal stations who work w th them are from 2 So to Coo fet in length. The aavy uses the next group and finally the large naval and commercial high power fong distance stations use huge antenna up to 8()u feet in height and often over a mile long. Itiyxk'w Studied To understand how these dif ferent szies of antenna affect the wave length one must delve into the realm of physics. The world of science tells us that all matter Is fundamentally electrical and for convenience the electrical "fluid" that fills all space and is the basis of all matter, is called "eih'-r Now radio works on the prin ciple of wave motion in this ether. The transmitting station uses transformers which produce high voltages and which are used to energize certain arrangements of apparatus that is aiiie to give the Today and Tomorrow LEROY and COOPER Two Boys and a Piano HONEYSUCKLE and VIOLET The Sculptors Dream BARTH and BARTH Refined Gymnasts FRANCIS FAY A Bunch of Smiles EARL WILLIAMS In 1 IT CAN BE DONE" V ALL NEW VAUDEVILLE SUNDAY maximum Jar to the ether for a flven amount of power applied. The result in the ether Is similar to that which takes place when one throws a stone into a pond of water. Wae spread In all directions from the point of, dis turbance. So :n radio. The waves travel from the transmitter in ever widening circle witih, the speed of light. IStf.OuO miles a second, behaving in, a manner very rimUar to the waves in l be point of water. Wates )ii-hi rfcrini; Now the length of the aerial wires determine the wave length transmitted by any given station for in the aerial the current rises and falls periodically and the lon ger the wires the slower is this rise and fall or oscillation. The slower rate of oscillation makes wave length in practlve of from 15.000 to 25.000 meters or roughly fJO.OOO to S6.UUU feet from the top of one wave cresi to the top of the next, the waves, as above, being similar to those in a pond of water. So we can see that by using the different aerial lengths how we can radiate from them waves of any different length. These waves do not interfere with one another unless they are of the same length or of very great in tensity. Ilecciver Captures Them The receiving apparatus is ar ranged to catch the ether waves by means of the aerial wires, whlth convert the ether waves in to feeble electrcial oscillaitng cur rents. These weak currents are amplified and adjusted by the op erator and are made audible by causing them to operate sensitive telephone receivers. The receiv ing oKrator has coils and controls with which to select any desired station and to enable him to do so with a minimum 61 interfer ence from undeaired stations. TherV is a wonderful fascina tion in being able to take a little wire, a few coils, and other easily constructed pieces of apparatus, and talk to other amateurs a few miles away with no connection whatever. Many of the older folks will remember the telegraph line con nected with a chum across the block. But with that sort of tel egraph a wire was necessary be tween both stations. This intro duced complications with power companies or an irate neighbor who objected to those "fool things" cluttering up his premi ses. Amateur Are reg:on The radio set Is small, requires a few short wires overhead and causes little or no nuisance to the locality It is in when properly ad justed. So we find in America today hundreds of thousands of radio amateurs, boys from 14 to 80 and not a few girls, both old and young. ' During the war the ranka of our army and naval operators were filled from this vast army of amateurs. They have furnish ed many new ideas, have devel oped apparatus second to none in the world for sensitiveness, selec tivity and durability, and have formed the backbone of radio de velopment or the United States and lead the world in all radio endeavor. lUiPP WILL BE BANK HEAD !

Name .- Street City or Town Phone Reorganization of Crook County Bank Found Not To Be Feasible Herausp reorganization of the Crook County bank, which failed ;:t I'rinoville Foseral months ato. offered extreme difiicuity and did not appear to he feasible. Frank C. Mramwell. state superintendent of banks, yesterday issued a char ter for the new Hani: of f'rine- i lie. which will open for busi ness about June 1. The old bank suspended business December -7 last. The rapit.il stock will bp $."i0, 000. J. . Karnopp of Portland will be president; W. O. Hall cashier, and George F. Huston, assistant cashier. A. J. Noble, .1 M. Klliott and lke M. liech tell will be directors. Two I't oposals Made. In a statement issued yester day Mr. Bramwell reviews efforts that were made for reorganiza tion. "Thi3 would not have been dif ficult," says Mr. BraraweU, "had it Involved a guarantee ,of the deposits and the removal: of the doubtful assets, but In addition to assuming the liability to the depositors, the bank bad a large volume of rediscounts, bills pay able and repurchase agreements which the new organization would have been required to assume. These ajftfreKated a ' roximately f ir.0.000." Many complications arose which made it difficult to reach a satis factory solution. As roon as the hank suspended business a pe tition wa filed by Mr. Karnopp i.iul about 4 0 other pernios of Crook county re(tieMinc that :t charter be issued for the Hank tif I'rinoville. Mr. HrmnwHI was satisfied that the petitioners rep teseiited the integrity and finan cial ability necessary, but about the "ame lime a new proposal Wat tnhmiltcd by men not connected with l he Crook County bank and tliif received first consideration. K- 'orgnnlntioti l.-nuloiied. This proposal ultimately was abandoned although certain stock holders of the defunct bank of ft red to initke sacrifices aKre tatirifr $11.mm for the protec tion of depositors. Arrangements were then made to sell the Crook County bank building to Mr. Kar nopp and his associates. Honest Merchandise, Rightly Priced, Has Made 9 GALE SIALE a most pronounced success.

Mr. Adams of Silverton, who is erecting a 100 foot pole out on 21st street, and we may look for a record breaking station there In the near future. At present Salem is off the re lay map. 7BH, Clive Scott on 14th street, is rebuilding his sta tion and so is not on fbe air ex cept for a receiving set. Mr. Scott is our oldest relay man snd has handled many messages. 7HA. Churchill, out on Bel mont, is not using his station and so is not on the air except for a receiving set. Mr. Scott is our oldest relay man and has handled many messages. 7IO, Herb Welch, out on route 8, Is on the Job with hie Ford coil, but lately has been unable to QSR with 7CW either out of order or not on the Job. . 7ID at Mt Angel is a coming relay man and handles a limited am ount of trafHe. 7ML', Peyton, out on south Commercial has a good station and is constantly improving. Paul Is a bit new in the relay game, but with the start he has made will make a good relay man. We hear 70W some, but not nearly enough. 7JA will startle us one of these days we hope; for he has lots of pep and should make a fine relay man. 7GO. Goodwin, on North Com mercial has finally found that "dinged" generator and will soon be on the air with a CV and tone set. The Radio association of Sal em meets every Thursday night at 7:30 p.m. in the association rooms on the third floor of the city hall. Visitors or other In terested in radio are welcome to the meetings. General radio top ics, construction, code practice, are taken up and theoretical sub jects are discussed.

The kidneys do their utmost to free the blood ot this irritating acid, but become weak from the overwork; they pet sluggish; the eliminative tissues clog and thus the waste is retailed in the blood to poison the entire system. When your kidneys ache and feel like lumps of lead, and you have stinging pains in the back or the urine is cloudy, full of sedi ment, or the bladder is irritable. obliging you to seek relief during the night; when you have severe headaches, nervous and dizzy spells, sleeplessness, acid stomach or rheumatism in bad weather, get from your pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast each morning and in a few days your kidneys will act fine. This famous salts Is made from the acid of grapes and lemon jvice. combined with lithia. and has been used fo rgpneratlonp n flush and stimulate clogged kid neys, to neutralize the acids in urine so It is no longer a source of irritation, thus ending urinary and bladder disorders. Jad salts is inexpensive and cannot Injure; makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water drink, and nobody can make ? mistake by taking a little occasionally to keep the kidneys clean and active.
