SPARKS
Amateurs are writing to The Oma
ha Bee asking how they may con
nect loud speakerato set that
uses a crystal detector. This cannot
he done unless the signals aic al
ready received so loud that the re
reivers can not be worn with com
fort. The average loud speaker w ill not
make the signals any louder; it will
simply concentrate the sound to a
certain extent and take away tome of
the tinny sound as heard in the re
ceivers when they are put on the
table.
Another thing that can not be done
with any degree of success is adding
amplifiers to a crystal set. If the
beginner is going to add the ampli
fiers he may just as well install a
vacuum tube detector alio, as the
battery will , have to be purchased
anyway. Using amplifiers with a
crystal set is very apt to make the
set "noisy" and the operator will
hear all kinds of cqueaks and squeals
This is especially true when the de
tector is being put in adjustment.
Orange or white shellac may be
used to fasten tinfoil on the rear of
the panel. Be sure to cut the foil
away around all parts that are fas
tened directly to the panel except the
ground binding post, as the foil must
be grounded.

Strikers Forfeit
Seniority Rights,
Rail Heads Hold
Privilff.fi Should Go to New
Employes, Southwestern Ex
ecutive Df dare Increaie
in Wagfi During War.
Si. Louis. Mo.. July 26 The de
irand of strikers for the restorition
of their seniority right when they
return to work was looked upon as
unreaonable by the southwettern
railroad executives, who issued a
lengthy statement on the strike situ,
at ii ti here ye.terday.
"The new employes and those re
maining nhould receive the benelit of
the rules." the statement says in part,
"and arc entitled to the protection of
every department of the government.
Certainly if the shop employes are to
be rewarded for their defiance of the
government by the restoration of
their seniority rights, there will be,
in the future, no incentive for men to
stay at work in the face of future
strikes and it will be impossible to
get new men lo fill their places."
The executives held that the strik
ers were not entitled to an increase
in wages, on the grounds that they
received three general increases in
wages during the war and were
given a raise by the United States'
Labor board May 1, 1920, and at the'
time they went on strike were receiv.
ing wages from 40 to 113 per cent
higher than in 1917.
