What Is ths Best Receiver for DX? t The Question has been asuea, many times what is the best re ceiTer for distance!! What typo of 4et win ' bring me the loudest signals j from ; ; the greatest dis tance? j ; I Before discussing this point in detail. I remember that there is a limiting factor on all reception, nd that factor is the static leyel. No matter how sensitive our re ceiTer might be, there is a cer tain point where the static noises are always going tale louder than 4the niirnftl. and no receirer will kPull la signals beyond this point The range changes with weather 'conditions; sometimes, the static iwill be so low that we can with a sensitiTe set get signals oyer 'thousands of miles before the static begins to get stronger than the signal. But no receiver can fierce the wall raised by the static jJeyelJ The 'auestion. then, resolres It self into: what receiver can I get .that can always be counted npon to reach oat to the static limit 7 Needless to say, we are going o hare to resort to radio fre quency amplification to a certain extent For c.w. telegraph signals there are reasons to believe that rezenerative detector is! about as good as anything else" for, d but for phone there is a distinct dvaHtice la "the use ot radio frequency amplification. ( f Radio frequency . amplification for phone stations I may be divid ed Into two classes: First, tae Bbort-wave r.f. ' amplifier, such as the ! neutrodfne, which amplifies the signal on its original wave length: and; second, the super heterodyne,? which changes the incoming phone signals to a long wate. which Is then more easily amplified a radio frequency, than the original short wave.? Up untili a very few months the superheterodyne has been re garded as the last word In sensl ttve receivers. However; there is every ireason to believe! that well-designed short-wave r.f. am pllf ler will do just as well, and perhaps slightly better. The diffi culty with amplification at short waves Is in keeping the amplifier from going Into oscillation,' and this has discouraged many- " But careful design and i thorough shielding will go far toward cre ating a stable amplifier. Miss Marjorie King, late dancing star of New York, coming to Salem with King's 1924 Revue1 at the Bligh Theatre for four days starting Monday, September 8th. Without going Into the theory involved la the two systems,' we may state thfct there are points favoring the short-wave amplifier as the best for reception of very weak signals, if we can get- the ! k . iieBaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaassasssss l ' "T"" - y-,. - 4 ID A on Tf A Special Offer toTlewsrjaper JLi IX Readers of Marion i County " r DAILY BY MAIL ONLY From Setemter 10 to December s-n .21 m i 6 i at the Extraordinarily Low : Subscription Rate of :' :- J ".

CHAPTER NO. 262 WHAT HARRY UNDERWOOp ASKED UADOE TO TELL, . j k HIM - at he Columbia Hghway Stages. Must Settle Rate Battle I shall not soon forget the hour in which 1 1 drove Harry Under wood' from the big Smythe-Hop- klns house Tat Southampton, where he had been masquerading as Don Ramon Almirez, to Greenport by way of the Shelter Island ferries. In one respect, at least, it was like escorting the. ghost ot some one I had known. The voice and manner were the unforgettable ones of Harry Underwood, ' ' but they came from beneath heavy snow-white mustachlos and Van Dyke beard, which not only thor oughly disguised, him, but added 20 years to his age. When I had known him his hair, also, had been black, with Just enough gray sprinkled - through it to make a most striking frame for his ruddy faee. i Now his hair was all white, and to all appearances he was ah old man.; still handsome, still vlg orous but undeniably old. "Pipe the Manner." ' . ; Disconcerting also was the kal eidoscopic manner in which; he changed from one personality to another.!; From the time he had taken . the seat beside me; in the car, up to the moment we entered the Smythe-Hopklns grounds, even through the unexpected -encounter with-Dr, Pettlt, he had been the old. Irresponsible, rough, slangy Harry Underwood. But at the en trance to the home where he had been tentertained he was trans formed on the Instant into the courtly:; dignitary whom he was impersonating. Yet he could not resist the Impish Impulse to excite my laughter by muttering out of the corner of his mouth as the cor rect English butler appeareq his summons: 1 r ! 'Pine the manner. Ain't 4 Just the sweetest?" 1 ij -I did not hear the tale he. told the butler as an excuse for getting his belonging out of th4 house. That it was a convincing' story. nn.l nlon that he had distributed convincing largesse I deduced from the obsequious bustle which pervaded the house. And it, was in surprisingly, short time that two of the butler's helpers ap peared and deposited the steamer trunk In the tonneau of my car, and the Imposing butler himself escorted the supposed Don Ram On to a seat beside me find direct ed the disposal of his smart band- luggage in the spaces around the trunk. I K It was not until we bad left the grounds that the man at my side spoke: " - "Is your well-known Puritan' conscience in its usual well-oiled condition, or could It be I a bit rusty?" ! - -: "Why?" I asked non-commit- tally. j J "Because It Is quite necessary that your story to the Smythe Hopkins family should agree with the tale I just told the butlerV Harry Underwood's Story. "I do not see that my conscience has anything to do with it,' I re turned. - "If you relate to me what you said to the butler I have no right to question its truth." He laughed lightly. j "You won't go back of the- re turns, eh? That's a good little girl. You're improving under the Dicky-bird'B tutelage. You'll be a petticoated little Machiavelll in time." : . - :tf '4 a ' -. ' There was an intangible some thing in his voice that betrayed subtle disappointment,1! and. guessed that with the inconsisten cy ot his type of masculine soul, he would have preferred me to ex hibit what both men used to dub my "buskram principles,' even at the cost ot interfering -with - his plans. ; ' .: $ ; I made no answer, to Ills sally. for I felt a sudden shamefaced conviction that - he i had ' Jestingly spoken the truth, and that I had lost in part the rigid ideals of my youth. But. In loyalty r would not admit even to myself that as sociation with my husband's ten ets hSjd anything to do with the chance. There was nothing for me to do but await Mr. Under wood's farther speech, and this did not come until we were out ot the streets of Southampton, and had turned iim - the - delightful winding wood road leading to Sag Harbor. : "I told His Nibs back there all about the accident," he began, "and gave him .your message. Then I explained my presence by saying that I had had a heart at tack, and : that you had brought me to a physician on the way here. - rii say you brought me to a doctor all right. I don't know of a better nerve tonic than the sight ot dear, old Herble Pettit was. And his treatment -et me -was sure invigorating, . . "My get-away." Je went on, "I explained : by saying that I unex pectedly . had met a man - from South America who bad given me information-which called for my. fn....., A T XT 1- . an Indefinite period. And every word of that's the gospel truth. Your father once stayed In South America, and he certainly gave me an earful requiring my presence la New York long enough to get a train out ot it. So you won't hare to soil your pretty Hps with any thing that isn't the truth. Tell 'em I said I'd write to them as soon as I got into New York. Now, enough of them! he add ed abruply. "I've got more Im portant i things to say to you. I want you to refresh your mem ory, and to tll me every, little thing you know about Grace Dra per's devilment last year. Your fa ther didn't have time-to spHl it but he said he was sure you would tell me the whole cursed story."
