NAME is NOT I'M DICTIONARY

The American Legion Weekly COM
ments on a New Zealand Newspapers
use of the word '~slegionary'' to denote
a member of the American Legion.
'The word ~legionary' has an hOnored
place in the dictionary which legion
naire' has not as yet, the Weekly
points out. But all the sentiment,
and it is a case where sentiment
counts. is on the side of 'legionnaire.'
~Legionary' connotes an embattled Ro-
man, toting a shield and spear for
julius Caesar. Legionnaire' calls to
mind (from the French point of view
a regiment of foreigners of the French

coils "stagger-WOund' which may be
adjusted back and forth. To make
one of these inductors you will re-
quire some stiff, smooth cardboard,
heavy Bristol board, thin fbreboard
or similar composition and about half
a pound of No. "a D. c. G. wire. Also,
in setting up and arranging the coils,
you will require binding posts, knobs,
a little sheet brass and a few other
odds and ends. With a pair of di-
viders or compasses draw three circles
on the cardboard or fibre, each about
four TO five inches in diameter, having
all exactly the same size. Then, US
ing the dividers, scribe off an unequal
number Give, seven, or nine) marks
around the circumference Of each
circle. Fig. At, A. Next, still using
the dividers, draw a smaller circle,
say one and one-half inches to two and
one-half inches in diameter within
each circle OBJ. If the circles are
four inches in diameter use the smaller
circle inside, If five inches the larger
one, and with a rule draw radiating
lines one-fourth of an inch apart from
each Of the marks on the outer cir
conference to the center of the circle
90. With a pair of scissors Or a
sharp knife (f cardboard is used)
or a fine saw (f fbre), cut out the
discs and cut slots in each disc accord
ing to the marks, as shown at CD.
Next, If you have used cardboard,
give each slotted disc a thorough
covering with shellac, using at least
three coats, and when thoroughly dry
proceed to wind the discs or coils.
In doing this, start the wire-being
sure to leave enough for connections
at a point at the inner end Of one
slot and wind over one segment and
under the next, and as the number
is uneven you will find that the wires
Will thus cross, as shown at (E). The
number of times the wire should be
passed can only be decided upon by

Curious Fire Enaine.

What might be described as a dou-
ble-tandem bicycle, with four wheels ar
ranged like those of a wagon, and four
seats for riders, two in front and two
behind, and carrying a hose reel, ro-
tary pump, etc., was exhibited recently
in Paris. The machine is intended as
a fire engine in small towns. When
the scene Of fire is reached the pedals
are thrown into gear with the pump,
the hose is unrolled, and the riders, re-
Stunning their seats, work the pump by
means of the pedals. 1t is claimed
that this machine can outstrip any fire
engine drawn by norses on the way to
a coniagration, and that its pump is
at least as effective rs those of the
hand engines used in many towns.

Coils, or, as they are more often
called, tuning coils, are very essential
parts of radio telegraphy and tele-
phony. The old style tuning coil, as
used in wireless ~telegraphy, has been
largely superseded by the type known
as loOse-coupled coils or adjustable
coils which may be altered or adjusted
TO tune much finer or more closely than
by the old type coil. Although 1t is
not difficult to make a loose-coupled
coil yet, as is the case with many of
the parts of radio sets. it is as cheap
and far more satisfactory to purchase
them ready made. The conventional
type of loOse-coupled coil consists of
two distinct coils, one within the other,
as shown in Fig. 46. One of these
is ths primary coil, the other the
secondary or induction coil. The two
are so arranged that the inner or
secondary coil slips back and forth
within the larger or primary coil,
thus varying the coupling or Undue
ton, for the electricity-or oscilla-

my pipe when
it came to me-
Which may, or may not,
be a boost for Edgeworth

How many good ideas are born in a
pipe of tobacco! There is something
in the calm contentment of smoking a
pipe that seems to open up the mind
for new ideas.
A busy man, a thinker, whose brain
is crisscrossed with a thousand i'm
pressions, finds that smoking his pipe
wipes out most of the confusion, and
leaves his mind clean, so that the new
idea, the inspiration, has a much
better chance to make its impression
as if pipe-smoking wiped all the
chalk-marks from the blackboard of
the mind and invited new ideas, new
thoughts, and creative plans to out
line themselves thereon.
Lots of men get good ideas when
shaving. Many more find their new
ideas when putting away at the pipe.
The right kind of tobacco is an i'm
portant matter to a pipe-smoker-
though, like breathing, he seldom
thinks of it. Having settled on a Ger
tain brand, it becomes a habit to buy
that. If the tobacco just suits his
taste, it doesn't matter what its name
is or what it costs-it becomes
his tobacco.
Edgeworth suits many men. We
presume there are some men who
wouldn't like Edgeworth. 1t is a

Tire thieves are most active when
they can walk off with a newly pur-

and expense can be saved If new tires
are put in use at once-if only for a

Why Not Enjoy Life Now?

A seasonable quiz was given by the
minister Cyneas to the ambitious
Pyrrhus, king of Epirus, when that
great conqueror began to speak of his
designs (B. c. 2SO).
"Well," said Cyneas, when thou
hast vanquished the Romans, what
wilt thou then doT'
Il will then" said Pyrrhus, sail
over to Sicily"
"And what wilt thou do when that
is won?'
Then We will subdue Africa"
well, when that is effected, what
wilt thou then do?" asked Cyneas.
"Why, them" said Pyrrhus, I'VE will
sit down and spend the rest of our
time merrily and contentedly."
And what binders thee" said Cy-
meas, "that without all this labor and
peril thou canst not now do so be-
forehand?"

William Stanley
and the Alternating Current Transformer

There is nothing that compares with cleo
tricity for the economical transmission of power
As matter of fact, energy in any other form can
be economically tratismitted only for the shortest
distances If power need develops, and its
location is more than few hundred yards from
the power house, the engineer at once turns to
the electrical method for cheap and reliable
transmission.
To the thousands who are living their lives in
the earlier days of the Electrical Age it probably
seems that this situation must have always
existed. But actually, there is many man with
no gray in his hair can recall the days when
electric light and power were literally unknown
The tremendous electrical transmission sys-
TENS that have been developed during the past
thirty years owe their existence to the fact that
they are practically. as well as technically,
right. They provide cheaper power than would
otherwise be possible; and production, and the
creation of real values, always requires COM
paratively low-priced power for its highest
development. And the history of low-cost
power transmission is the history of Alternating
Current, and especially of the Alternating Cur
rent Transformer. For one of the great factors
in the cost of electrical systems is the cost of con-
ductors-wires and the big thing about alter
mating current is that it makes possible the use of
conductors which are within the cost-mits which
competitive and economic conditions impose.

There is no room to discuss all the varied as
poets of this question; but it may be said that
one OF the great fundamentals that has led to the
use OF alternating current transmission for about
$50 OF the electrical systems now in use has been
ITS great economy, as compared to other systems,
In the transmission of power. And the trans
former, itself, is the heart of the alternating
current system.
1t permits a small current, at high voltage, to
be transformed to large current at low voltage,
or vice versa, through the use of simple, immobile
apparatus, and thus supplies the essential factor
in electrical transmission.
William Stanley is remembered because it was
he who commercially developed transformers of
high efficiency and satisfactory regulating quail
ties. He brought out the first system in which
the transformers were connected in parallel,
across a constant-potential system, instead of
the series operation used by Gaulard and Gibbs.
The system embodying this principle was put
into operation at Great Darlington, Mass. on
March 16, 1886. and has been the standard
method ever since.
Thus briefly is recorded the history of an
other contribution of the Westinghouse enpi-
neering organization to the electrical art; since
all the transformers which are made TODAY are
built upon the same general principles as those
first constructed to embody William Stanleys
inventions.
