was standing in his parler windo
looking sad, and us fellows started
to yell to him to come out and he
opened the windo quick, saying.

And he shut the windo and then

NECESSARY AID
IN GOOD LIVING

1t was at an afternoon tea. If
you are a woman you know the
sort of talk which fills the air
at such an affair; If you are a
man you have pretty good idea.
Two women sat in a corner
slipping green tea. One of the
women had tired, dull looking
eyes. She surveyed her compan-
ion and then looked across at
another unsuspecting, bright-eyed
woman, both of whom were sty-
lishly dressed and the pictures Of
health, as they say!
How do you keep so young,
Julia?" said the tired looking
woman.
do you remember how we
used to slave all day in our house
cleaning, cooking and sewing, not
having enough time to spend with
the children and always greeting
our husbands with tired, worm
out expressions at night? l have
learned the secret of eliminating
much of my housework."
For heavens sake, tell me
what it Is" breathed the other
with tense excitement, her tired
face breaking into hopeful lines.
1.-THE secret? Why It's the sim
plest thing in modern life my
dear Mrs. Tired. 1t can be ex-
planned in one word, electricity!
'As soon as l am dressed in
the morning l turn on the cleo
trio stove to cook the bacon and
eggs. The electric toaster and cof-
fee percolator finish the meal
right, all made OH the dining
table. No trouble, no steps, no
hurry. Everything done in a jiffy
and correctly. So ON through the
day l finish each piece of work
as it comes in a tenth. yes a
twentieth the old time and have
the rest to spend at pleasure,
profitable vocations and with the
children. No wonder l am a
changed woman"

AN EASTER PARTY FOR
THE YOUNG PEOPLE


Eastertime, synlbolized by DAFT
fodils, narcissi, pussy willows, bum
MES and chicks, offers an oppor-
tunity for giving a pretty evening
party for young people. The invi-
tations, written on ordinary note
paper are sent out about a week
in advance, and read: miss Ethel
Brown requests the pleasure of
your company at an Easter party
at her home on the evening of
April the 18th at o'clock
The home of the hostess is dec
Grated with Easter flowers in hall
and living room (artificial ones
may be used for economy. Upon
the arrival OF all the guests the
following game is begun:
Pussy Willow Contest; The play
ers draw their chairs into a circle.
Each one is given a pencil and a
sheet of stiff letter-paper, on one
corner of which is pasted a pussy
willow bud--to represent the body
of a cat-with head or tail drawn
at either end of the bud. At a sig
nal, all begin writing as many
words as they can think of on their
sneet, starting WITH the syllable
"cat" (for instance, category, cat
tie, catsup, etc.) At the end of
five minutes the papers are read
aloud in turn. He who has the
most words receives as a prize a
small plaster or china cat.
Drawing Perfect Chicken is
the next game played. This is
great fun for the reason that few
persons possess artistic talent. The
, hostess announces that "the Easter
Rabbit told her" there was an art
list in disguise among them. "In
order to find out which one of you
is this talented artist" she goes on,
Il am going to ask all of you to
step up to this sheet of paper, in
turn, and draw perfect chicken"
There will be howl of protest but
all will enjoy trying. The sheet
should be a large piece of wrap
ping paper hung on the wall--so

TYPES OF CRYSTAL DETEcroRs.

Crystal detActors are divided into
two broad classes, those requiring
a local battery for best operation
and those which operate without
such a source Of local electromotive
force. Carborundum is an example
Of the first type, and silicon some
times works better when local
potential is applied. The carborun-
dunn crystals are silicon carbide and
are made in an electric furnace. When
the. carborundum crystals are pull
wheels and SO forth. When carbon
undum is used as a. radio detector
a rather blunt metal point is caused
to bear against the crystal with some
pressure. With silicon a finer point
Is best and the contact is much

Galena, or lead sulphide, is prob
ably the most popular crystal in
present use. 1t belongs in the sec
ond general classification. since it
works to very good advantage as a
When used as a detector, the galena
crystal is usually held In q clamp
or set in a cup with Woods metal"
and a rather fine wire point is al
iOWeu 70 rest usntly upon ltS sur
face. Galena is quite sensitive, but
does not usually retain that property
as long as some other crystals. 1t Is
more sensitive, but not as stable in
adjustment as carborundum. Iron
pyrites. or iron sulphide, make good
rectifiers. and, while they are not
ordinarily as sensitive as gaiena, they
usually retain their sensitiveness
longer. A combination of zincite
natural red oxide of zinc) and born
lite Copper and iron sulphides in COM
bination) is sometimes used as rec
tifler. The bornite and zincite are in
contact with each other under mod
crate pressure, and the combination
can be used without a local battery.
The bornite is usually pointed, while
the zincite is just a small mass held
in a cup or clamp of some sort A
combination of silicon and antimony,
in which the antimony is somewhat
pointed and rests with moderate
pressure upon the silicon, is also used
to some extent. This combination
also functions without a local bat
terry.
In the case of the detectors requir-
ing local battery, means should be
provided for varying the voltage ap-
piled from the local battery. A volt

Cash to Be Awarded at Exposition
of Amateurs Devises at Chicago
June 26-July 1.

CHICAGO. May 24.-The school
boy who hastens to his workshop to
bend over vacuum tubes will be given
an opportunity to come into his own,
according to plans of a committee
in charge of radio contests in con-
nection with the national radio ex-
position to be held here June 26-
July 1. Five contests in making
radio devices, the purpose of which
is said to be "to unearth young Edi-
sonsLof wireless" have been an
nounced by the committee. Three of
them will be for young people and
two will be open to anyone. Con-
tests are open to residents of any
city, but each contestant must come
in person to Chicago to prove that
he made the device he offers.
For the grade school students an
opportunity will be given to make
crystal detector set of ITO to SEQ
meters. 1t will be judged upon its
workmanship. design and practicable
ity. The prizes will be first, S25; sec
ond, SIS; third. $40. A more difficult
proposition will be offered to the
students in the high schools and
manual training schools. They will

tector, two-stage amplifer set IT'S

Secure some waxed paper. which
may be purchased already prepared
or may be made by soaking heavy
note paper In paraffin wax; some
tinfoil, which must be free from tears
or holes, should be carefully smoothed
or pressed out until free from
wrinkles or creases. From the waxed
paper cut three strips. each two
inches in width, and two and one
half inches long. With q sharp pencil
mark smaller rectangles on these,
making the lines z of an inch from
the edges 40 that the marks will form
