Treasury considers decentralizing internal revenue still
The Treasury plans to move tax headquarters work to Portland Los Angeles Tacoma and San Francisco likely within a month. Secretary Mellon says about 85 percent of taxpayer returns could be audited locally while larger matters would still return to Washington for final decision. Assistant Secretary Dover travels to assess customs service and decentralization is not tied to it. The tax simplification board will recommend next steps aimed at faster local processing while preserving a central point for uniform interpretation.

Troubleshooting Radio Circuits and Common Faults
A compact guide explains how to diagnose radio receiver problems by logical steps. It covers three main faults open circuit short circuit and leakage with a practical test using a lamp and improvised test clips on a tuning coil to detect circuit continuity.
Testing the Tune Circuit and Ground Testing Guidelines
Testing the tune circuit requires sliding controls to keep the light lit. If the light fades there may be an open coil. if it fades when jarred, the slider contact is poor with the winding. A buzzer and battery can test for open circuits in series with test clips. grounds can be tested similarly, but avoid using the house lighting circuit due to partial grounding risk. Ensure antenna is well insulated and the lead-in enters the wall so wind movement cannot touch grounded material or create a path for rain or snow to ground.
Testing Telephone Receiver Circuits And Crystal Detector Care
Instructions describe testing continuity of telephone receiver circuits using a short insulated wire, checking diaphragms, and handling risks. It covers testing each receiver in a double head set, shorting tips outside the chase, and using a buzzer or lamp to locate open circuits. It also warns on crystal detector handling, skin oils, and cleaning or renewing crystal surfaces with alcohol and brushing or chipping away dirty surface.
Tips to the Radioist Improve aerial height and wiring for stronger signals
The article advises raising the flat top aerial by five to ten feet to boost signals and adding a variable condenser to the secondary or primary of a loose coupler to tune unwanted signals. It notes poor contact on ten turn tuning coils, suggests soldering a flexible wire to the slider, and recommends longer spreaders and multiple wires with proper spacing for best reception.
Amateurs urged to play fair in radio communications

Grounding an Aerial for Lightning Protection
Aerials should be grounded to outside earth with a copper wire no smaller than No. 8 gauge. Do not use water gas or steam pipes inside the building as a grounding path. The ground must be as direct and external as possible to ensure effective protection.
