who had been watching for the oppOr-

moment when my back was turned and
had thrown the wrench into the gears.

Dolls A Sian For Suitors

Dolls seem to mean more to the
children of India than perhaps to
those OF any other country. When a
little Indian girl has fractured the
gravest rules of discipline. her pun
ishment usually consists of dressing
her doll in its best garments, carry
ing it to the nearest river and throw
ing it in. Thereafter she is not al
lowed to play with dolls for a certain
length of time.
At the harvest season the girls
along the sacred Ganges throw their
dolls into the river as a sacrifice and
are given new ones.
When the girl is old enough TO mt
away her dolls and to take up the
duties of a woman-that is at a very
early age in India-she hangs her
dolls in the windows of the doors of
her home. This is an invitation and
sign to prospective suitors that
there is in that house a girl who is.
ready to marry.
A somewhat similar custom exists
in Java, where the prospective bride
throws her dolls into the fire. with
proper ceremony.-Philade In.

'Song the Sea-Shell Sing" leads to
the creation of a new radio ampli-
fer from great Conch shell.
How it's done Popular Radio re-
lates in simple and graphic manner.
A loud radio horn made from sea
shell is a new and easily constructed
device that amplifies the smallest de-
tails of broadcast music with mini
mum of the echoes and harsh dis
tortOns made by metal simplifying
horns.
The compartment of the human ear
known as "the winding staircase
suggested the sea shell to the inven-
tor. Father Frederick l.. Odenbach.
After experimenting he found that a
triton or conch shell served the pur-
pose best. SO he sawed off the tip
Of the shell, making a cross section
os, about an inch and a half in dia-
meter The opening in the sawed
end of the shell was then widened
out and the winding chamber inside
was enlarged so that it was about
the size of a finger.
The shell was then mounted on a
block of wood to hold it solid. and a
piece Of ordinary garden hose was
attached. The hose was extended to
a sensitive telephone receiver or to
one of the many commercial sound
simplifying devices which use a horn
for resonator.
The sea shell amplifier works well
in parlor, but for concert halls the
inventor has perfected a pyramid
horn Of thin wood. The wooden horn
Is not quite as clear as the shell am
plifier, but is more powerful.
The pyramid horn was made two
inches square at the small end and a
foot square at the large end. Thin
