In the inter- lor of California, on the other hand, where the ocean air has become very hot and dry, 95 per cent. of the pos- sible summer sunshine is really de- livered, or an average of nearly 14 hours of bright sunshine a day. West of the Mississippi the daily average In most places exceeds 10 hours, while east of the Mississippi, where the air is more moist and clouds more easily formed, the average is less than 10 hours. It is evident that no one in the generally inhab- ited parts of the United States and Canada need suffer from an insuffic- dent duration of sunshine during the mext two months even though the sun Is now beginning its southward journey, HAVE NO IMPRESSIVE CASE. An Ottawa Analysis of the Postal Workers' Grievance. Ottawa Journal. As for the merits of the contro- versy, the wage question in issue, the postal men have no impressive case. Postal men, taken in the gross, and making certain exceptions, perform other than skilled labor. They are assured of their pay the year round. They are not affected by industrial depressions; weather, shut-downs or business slackness do not afmect them. They have all the assurance of permanency. Yet postal clerks get from $3.60 to $5.60 a day, and letter) carriers from $3.60 to $4.80 a day for every working hour, according to length of service, This is not plutocratic pay. It might be made higher. But, after all, how does it compare with the pay received for similar &nd more onerous service by workers in the in- dustrial world? We think that the average wage-earner, faced always with uncertainty, subject to the al- most mercurial changes of industrial life, would not regard it as desper- other hook-ups, it is not the coils that are the main feature of the set --it is the circuit, and the exact type of coll is of relatively slight import- ance. Two variometers can be used as the basis of a very good modified Reinartz hookup, as shown at the head of the column. In addition to the variometers, we will need a 23- plate, or .0005 mfd., variable con- denser, and possibly a choke coil, which will be described later. As can be seen, one variometer is used for the principal tuning ele- ment, while the other "F" is used [tor the regeneration control---or |rather part of the regeneration con- |trol. The feature of the set is that | there are no taps or switches, and |all controls can be brought out to dials, making a convenient and neat- appearing outfit. There are two ways to make the lantenna coil. One way is to wind a 3%-inch coil made up of eight turns of No. 22 double cotton cov- ered (d.c.c.) wire. This is fastened to one side of the tuning variometer stator with sealing wax. One end of | this small coil goes to the antenna, |as shown in Fig 1. while the other end is fastened to the stator connec- tion of the variometer, as indicated. This stator connection is also used as.a ground connection, and is also adequate. I'm a Canadian." I reply. "Thank God there isn't." tales as among Parker's best. nadian. belongs nowhere.

"But what about the work of my great star? in Canada who knows your North like he does."

George Cable and the Creole days, Mark Twain and the jacent turns are not "shorted." If the variometer is a solid moulded form, or if it is one.of the wooden type, the only way that a tap can be taken is by tapping in at the centre connection of the stator halv-| es.
