The city offi cials bashfully justify this innovation by saving that if it does nothing more, it will tend to further dignify the council's proceedings. Resolu_ tions adopting this measure were in the following words: '"It is common usage in all legislatives bodies in he civilized world as well as groups of men assembled for any gathering to begin their delibera. tions with an appeal to God for bles '.ng and guidance. The bes. of 1 men in all ages have not deemed it I derogatory to their dignity to bow J their heads in reverence at the un- 1 deriaking of any great problem in j life."

It was developed during a series of ex periments with a large number of re ceiving circuits. This new circuit Is not suitable for wired radio because of Its tendency to re-radiate, but It Is probably the last word In a simplified single-tube set for receiving news and music from the present broadcasting stations. , The circuit If described in the In terests of amateurs and the public who may wish to listen to the pro grams now In the air. The set Is supec-regenerative. It requires a mini mum investment In parts. Practically every amateur already has everything necessary to try out the circuit. It will be noted that all resistances, grid leaks and grid condensers have been elimlnpted and no filter circuits are re New 8ingla-Tube Set of Interest to Amateurs. quired.

Radio Digest ? j Anti-Body-Capacity in New Shielded Panel* A new shielded panel la new avail able, for which the makers daim ex cellent antl-body-capaclty qualities. The shield consists of pure perforatsd tin and Is attached to the panel by a patented process. Ths adhesion of the tin la perfect Sections of It may be cut out with an ordinary penknlfs. The new panel has a hard rubber base with a low sulphur content and Is artificially aged to minimize discolor ation. Particular care Is taken to pro portion the filters and process of vul canizing so as to obtain a high dielec tric strength and surface realstance and a low phase angle difference and dielectric constant. Its machining qualities are excellent Besides the standard black finish the panels are furnished In all alaes with or without the shielding, In oak, ma hogany, walnut and blrdseye maple. These finishes are applied to the sur face of the panel by a special process, which Is accomplished so as to make It difficult to tell the panels from the Teal woods which they represent. Proper Transformer A ways Best to Use Use of a high resistance such aa a grid leak across an audio amplifier Is usual ly merely an attempt to tandem a transformer and tube which do not work well together. The resistance simply Introduces enough loss to make the two balance. Use of the proper transformer would seem to be more rational O The Lady of the Wood a "The Lariv of I lie Woods."

C. The Scrap Book Favored by Conditions, Moose Are Multiplying George Cotter, game warden of Seward, Alaska, Just back from an In spection trip, declares there are 5,000 moose oo Kenal peninsula alone, while from the Yukon come similar reports. The marsh/ country along the Stlklne and Tanana rivers Is some of the best moose region In the North. Where did all these moose come from? There Is s theory, of Alaskan origin, that moose have been driven from the Ca- j nadlan northeast by the continual banging of guns year after year and, finding their way slowly through the wilderness, have crossed the moun tains Into Alaska. The big animals have found climate and food condi tions ideal. Hot summer with luxuri ant growth of willow and birch, marshy lakes with lily* roots, and dense evergreen forests for cover, of fer moose pleasant home surroundings. In some regions they are free to roam at will and Increase, for miners have left, the Indian tribes are decimated by disease, and it is too far inland for ordinary bunting trips. The average Alaskan moose weighs from 1,000 to 1,500 pounds and stands eight to ten feet high at the shoulders. Only the bead, neck and antlers are usually shipped out by hunters, but tbe meat is excellent and the hide of value for leather products.
