wave length.
It is usually the secondary conden-
ser or the grid variometer • which is
calibrated. In the Superdyne it is
the condenser which tunes the R. F.
coupling impedance, and in the Neu-
trolyne the secondary ` condenser„
which is calibrated. In receivers us-
ing loop antennas, • the condenser
-which tunes the loop is the proper
control to calibrate.
How to Calibrate
In order to get the data for your
'Calibration chart you should tune in,
'as many stations as possible at their
maximum signal strength. For each
station received', record (x) the call"
letters,. (2) the setting of the dial
which is to be calibrated, and (3) the
wave length of the station. In put-
ting down the wave lengths, be sure
that you are getting them correct.
Remember that these wave lengths

Dispatches in the dailies the past
week seem to indicate that Huron
County may revert to the Canada
Temperance Act as a result of the add-
optiori of the Governmenit's 4,4 beer
policy. If this: is carried out in Huron
it is possible that Perth and Peel
counties will follow suit, as all these
three Counties all voted to suspend
the Canada Temperance Act, such
suspension tinder that Statute to con-
tinue so long as the. Provincial Act
involved as much restriction as the
Canada. Act. The question now arises
as to whether the new beer bill less-
ens the restriction or not If it is
held to do so, the Canada Temper-
ance Act may be again enforced in
these three Counties. This Act pro-
hibits the retail sale of intoxicating
liquors, but does not define the point
at which beer or other liquor wouiri
be intoxicating. The matter is now
in the hands of the Government, who
are being asked by the State Depart-
ment Officer for a ruling.
South Africia has a law for the pro-
tection of wild. flowers. It forbids
the gathering, uprooting, sale or ex-
port of certain scheduled plants, in-
cluding several species of gladioli and'
heather. Colored illustrations of '
these are exhibited in schools, police',
stations and elsewhere, and anyone
found in possession of a prohibited
flower is under obligation to explain
how he came by it.
