WERNER ADJUSTERS.

With the increased demand for
radio receiving sets. new ideas have
been developed along the line of Sc
curing finer adjustment of the con-
denser capacity or variometer in
ductance.
Many of the later cabinet receivers
have vernier adjustments built into
them, but there are still very large
number which have no provision for
the extremely fine adjustment some
times required. simple device has
been recently brought out. which can
be attached to any receiving set 1t
is called the OR vernier adjuster.
There is 4 bracket which supports
a sleeve and a shaft which passes
through the sleeve. At one end of
the shaft is an electrose knob, and at
the other d small rubber wheel, both
being securely fastened to the shaft.
Turning the knob, of course, causes
the rubber wheel to be rotated. The

New Apparatus and Devices


device may be screwed to the panel
in such a manner that the rubber
wheel makes firm contact with the
dial or a condenser or variometer. as
the case may be. The diameter OF the
wheel is very much smaller than that
of any dialS il is likely to be used
with One complete rotation OF the
wheel will then cause the dial to
move only Comparatively small
distance. The vernier adjustment
effect is thereby secured.
When cabinet receiver is not
shielded body capacity effects are
often noticeable when the hands are
placed near to or removed from the
dial knobs The shaft of the yernicr
adjuster is long enough to bring the
hand some distance away from the
dial IL is used with, the adjustment
being made only, of course, by rotat-
ing the electrose knob of the adjuster
The metal parts of the device are
of brass, highly nickeled. and the
whole appearance is very pleasing.

LAWSON WINS IT
Pomona Man Takes First in
Old FiddIers' Contest.
VIII Be Made a Permanent Fea-
ture of Free Fair.

OF all the splendid features of the
Free Fair this week, probably no
other aroused such enthusiasm as the
old ftddlers' contest held Wednesday
night in the Peoples pavilion. The
tent was crowded to capacity and there
were several hundred persons stand
-sng outside. And the way that audi
'enee shouted and applauded and
laughed would have done credit to
any entertainment ever presented.
J, r. Lawson, 81 years old. of Po-
mona, Kan, won the first prize of $40
and blue ribbon. B. c. Hudson. 70,
of WameEo, took the second prize of
Biz and a red ribbon. Third prize

actual contest each entrant played two
pieces and was allowed one encore.
When the contest was over, the five
men tuned together and played The

Of the audience. which fairly went
frantic.
While the going was good B. T.
Brownfield 125 Monroe street, gained
the platform and jigged and sang sew
eral songs which he used to sing when
he was a member of Lou Dockstad der s
ministries. The audience gave much
applause. When Brownfield succeeded
in getting away, a Mr.. Jackson pro-
cured four old couples from the audi
ence and induced them to dance a
quadrille. The five fiddlers who had
participated in the contest played for
them and sawed and fingered their in
struments until they were in a state OF
extreme exhaustion.
Judges of Contest.
The judges of the contest were J. E.
YingIing, second vice president of the
Farmers National bank and himself
an artist on the violin, cello and
guitar; Ralph r. Baer, president of
the Topeka Packing company, and
Daniel Muller, head of the Muller
School of Music and musical critic for
The State Journal.
The old fiddlers' contest was started
in 1921 and from the very first proved
to be a huge success, but never was
such enthusiasm manifested as We'd
'aesday night. The management pro-
poses to make this department bigger
and better next year.

another large classification found
origins in the names of English
towps and cities from which the
original bearers came. But there Is
another class-smaller than this, to
be sure. but by no means insignifi-
cant--in which the family names are
derived from the names of foreign
countries and cities from which their
bearers came.
OF course, the vast majority Of peo-
pie in the middle ages, when travel

one nation and another, and at all

into England and settling there.
The names Burgoyne, Borgon and

expect to find anybody there.
The discovery that Eowscr hadn't
seen him gave the Young Fox little
hope. If he was careful perhaps he
could steal away without being seen.
Then all.woUld be well. You see. the
young Fox was not we'll enough ac-

that BowSer depends on his nose
rather than his eyes. The young Fox
didn't once think that he would leave
d trail for Bowser to follow. His only
thought was to get out of sight.
'If only l can find hiding place

With a last glance at Bowser, to
make sure that Bowser hadn't yet
seen him. the young Fox crept care
fully but swiftly along close to the
henhouse and lodged around back of
it. He was now out of sight of Bow
ser, and this gave him new courage.
Then his heart sank again. To run

wall on the edge of the Old Orchard
that dreadful dog again il he should
chance to look up. To-rur across the
Green Meadows to the Old Pasture or
to the Green Forest would be to be

Hastily the young Fox looked all

queer thing he hadn't noticed when
he had first crept over back of the

Once inside, the young Fox sighed
with relief. That dog hadn't seen him
