SEES GROWING Demand
!. FOR SMALL PROPERTIES.
Need Of Investment Opportunities
Forerunner of Building Activi-
ties, ]. 8. Gruver Believes.

Demand for small Investment prop
critics in Washington will lead to
building operations of this character
being started In the near future. J. 5.
Gruver. local builder. told members
of the Y. NJ. c. A. real estate class
this week. His subject was Building
Operations"
The building business. it was point
as all other lines of business for the
development of high type men. and
there are many principles Of an ethi-
cal character that should be observed
by the conscientious builder. In the
development Of new buildings. he
said. the builder should endeavor to
respect the rights Of his neighbor and
not encroach in any manner that
would adversely affect the value Of
surrounding properties.
In describing the practical working
Of construction work Mr. Gruver out
lined the various important factors
both as regards labor and materials.
from the digging of the foundation to
proper roofing methods.
Discusses "Filled Ground"
Referring to the question of build
ing on so-called filled ground, Mr..
Gruver stated that many buildings In
all parts of Washington have been
constructed satisfactorily on HiieQ
ground. The success of such opera
tions depends largely on the char
acter Of the filling and the methods
used In securing the proper footings
1t Is possible. with the assistance of
the technical experts Of the municipal
building department, accurately to
determine the size and character of
tootings properly to support walls
that are built on filled ground.
Regarding an important feature Of
building operations-the question OF
!inancing-Mr. Gruver called attention
to the fact that in placing the first
mortgage on new houses the amount
should be such that would reasonably
insure at least one extension at the
expiration of the initial three-year
period. This is highly desirable from
the standpoint Of the purchaser. for
the reason that the average second
trust. covering the balance Of the de-
ferred purchase price. does not pay out
during the first three years, and an
extension of the first trust for an ad-
ditional three years gives the pur-
chaser an opportunity to complete
the payments on second trust before
being compelled to curtail the first
trust.

Young Fox.
The young Fox who was Farmer
Browns Boys prisoner had a new
interest in life. He spent most of
his time watching the two geese
which Farmer Browns Boy had
brought home. For several days they
were kept in the henyard. All day
them and dream dreams of catching
one Of them. How he did wish that
Farmer Browns Boy would let those
geese out,
At last he did. 1t happened one
afternoon: Farmer Browns Boy
opened the henyard gate and out
ly the two geese came out. The
young Fox hid in his house as he had
done so many times before when the
hens were out. He no longer was
interested In the hens. All his in
terest was in those two geese. and
them. Farmer Browns Boy sat down
where he could keep watch of the
hens. He had done this whenever the
hens were out ever since he had dis
covered how the young Fox had
caught some of them. But by and by
he was called to the house.
He first made sure that none of the
hens were anywhere near the young
Fox. He expected to be gone only
few moments and he felt sure that
nothing would happen while he was
absent.
Now. no sooner had Farmer Browns
Boy disappeared than those two
geese took 1t into their heads to ex-
plore that barnyard and the first
place they headed for was over where

the young Fox was a prisoner OF
course, they knew nothing about him.
They moved slowly and in rather
stately way, with their heads held
high. Now and then one would bend
and pick something up from the
ground.
The young Fox was so excited that
he shook all over. He wasn't afraid.
No. indeed. he wasn't afraid. You see.
those geese were such stupid-looking
there might be anything to be afraid
Of. Nearer and nearer they waddled.
The young Fox grew more and more
excited. 1t seemed to him that he
couldn't wait. He was so afraid that
they would change their minds and
all he could do to keep from rushing
out before they were within reach.
When he had caught the hens he
lad waited until they were close to
his doorway. But this time he couldn't
wait. No. sir. he simply couldn't wait.
He knew exactly how long his chain
was. and SO the instant those geese
were within the length of that chain
the young Fox stole out and made
ready to rush. That was where he
made a mistake. Yes. sir. that was
where he made a bad mistake. He
at once.
You see those geese were not as
stupid as they looked. The instant
the young Fox moved the quick eyes

stopped. He saw the young Fox come
out of his house and knew him for an
enemy at once. Down went the head
Of the gander. with his neck stretched
out full length and with his wings
half lifted. The young Fox paid no
attention to him, for his eyes were
fixed on the goose, who was q step or
two nearer. The young Fox sprang
forward.
Just what happened next he didn't
know, and doesn't know to this day
There was a terrible kissing sound,
and then he was pounded and bat

so that he couldn't get on his feet long
enough to run back to his house. My,

EXPERT ADVICE ON RADIO
No. 53-To Tune Regenerating Set.

turned up until slight hiss or roar
is heard in the receivers. The resist
ance is then turned back slightly un-
til that noise Is Just inaudible. Now
the operator is ready to tune his set.
The control Knob, marked "regenera-
tion" or "tickler," is placed at mini
mum.
The first step in tuning for q par
ticular station is to adjust for wave
length. In most Of the receivers that
are being sold for broadcasting there
Is but one adjustment for this pur-
pose. With such sets 1t is merely
necessary to turn slowly from mini
mum to maximum, stopping at any
point where a desired station is
heard. If the operator has no knowl-
edge whatever of the approximate ad-
justments for any particular wave
length, he adjusts the primary circuit
to one-third or one-half its maximum
value. II the coupling between the
primary and secondary circuits is ad-
Unstable, it is placed at maximum dur
ing the first step of tuning.
The wave length of the secondary
circuit is made in the same manner
as first described for primary adjust
When the desired signal Is properly
tuned in on the secondary, a readjust-
ment of the primary circuit is made
until the signal Is heard with maxi
mum loudness.
Once the correct adjustment for
wave length has been made, it is a
simple matter to adjust the "regen-
eration," "tickler" or feed back" con-
troll. This is done by slowly turning
the control knob from the minimum
position toward the maximum. AT
first this action may not produce any
perceptible result, then there will be
a sudden and surprising increase IN
signal strength.
II you increase regeneration too
much, however, the quality of the re-
ceived signals becomes distorted. At
first only the high notes are affected,
but il the adjustment is turned still
further to maximum the music be-
comes completely distorted and its
tonal qualities destroyed.
1t is desirable to sacrifice signal
strength in order to obtain full ad-
vantage of the purity and perfect
tonal qualities of radio telephone
music. The temptation is to obtain
the loudest possible signal at the re-
ceiver, but the discriminating opera
tor knows he is not striving to re-
ceive the maximum noise, but the
most enjoyable music that is being
sent out.
Practice will perfect your tuning
ability, and when you do invite guests
for an evenings entertainment you
will not have to lose endless time in
making the necessary adjustments
and the evenings entertainment Will
be real pleasure.

A NEW LOUD SPEAKER OF MERIT.

There are numerous types of loud
speakers. horns and %hat-not to
bring the sound out loud enough to
be heard in a room. A good many
of the horns are of tin or other sheet
metal, which often produce resonance
effects and blaring sounds on some
tones. The present trend. however. is
away from sheet metal, and a cast
horn is to be prefer . If the mate
rial is metallic.
Distortion of the sound waves in a.
loud speaker is to be Stunned, and
yet considerable volume is desirable
in most cases. The loud speaker
shown in the cut will not distort
either speech or music. The horn is
of cast aluminium, finished in a dull
bronze 1t is specially designed to
produce pure and pleasing tones.
