WRITING 1T AT HOME

A BUNCH of four-four happy kids
Chock full of fun and pleasure.
All four n mighty big expense,
But ev'ry one n treasure.
And when | want it quiet like
So / can do my writing.
The noise that bunch begins to make
Sounds like two armies fighting.
One chambers over my machine;
One asks for help with numbers;
One for my pencil makes demand;
One my tired knee e%ncumbers.
"A dozen eggs cost forty cents,
What will three dozen cost?"
And by the time | work 1t out
My thread of thought is lost.
One sticky hand is reaching out
To grasp my thinning locks.
One piercing voice makes loud demand
For help with building blocks.
"My pencils broke; please sharpen it
So l can write the rest"
And then the thoughts I've garnered in
Are all knocked gally west.
But when, at last, the sandman comes
And all four little heads
Are resting on the pillows white
OF two soft, downy beds;
And all is quiet round the house
Where once the noise did ring,
| start to write-and then can't think
OF n dodgasted thing!

ment current for II tube transmltter.
For those who do not wish to be
bothered with the trouble and expense
of re%ctifiers, there Is a circuit known
as the self-rectifying circuit that can
be used for radio telegraphy. In
using a self-rectifying circuit at least
two tubes must be employed. If more
power is desired tubes must be added
In pairs. The tubes employed are d.
vided into two groups operating on
each half of the cycle.
Figure 'B'' is a diagram of a self
rectifying continuous wave radio tele
graph t%ransmitter using five-watt radio
tron type wv POP tubes. The amateur
can purchase the parts to make this
set as follows:
l. Two five-watt transmitting tubes
wv, POP, SIG.
2. Two-tube sockets UR 542, 81.
3. Power transformer UP 1868, $50.
4. Bypass c~ondensers NC 1914, 81.
8. Grid c~Ondensers NC 1014, 81.
6. Grid Leak UP 1719, $1.10.

The only parts the builder Will
have to make himself are the two RAJ

BLAKE,
Uncommon
Sense

If you haven't got energy, cultivate
it. Put your health In good condition
and your physical energy will i'm
prove. and with physical energy you
will gain mental energy.
Be careful how you use both. You
can't settle a business tangle II you
have been playing tennis all the morn
ing. The exercise will use up the en-.
ergy that ought to be expended on the
job. Your brains can't use what
your muscles have used already.
Energy Is always capital, but 1t
must be well and prudently invested.
Take care of yours. Add to it by
care of your health, and by abundant
mental exercise. Then expend it on
important matters, and don't be afraid
to expend 1t literally. 1t Is one thing
Of which the more you spend the
more you will have, provided, of
course, 1t is not foolishly wasted.

FAR-OFF

THOSE happy-go-lucky individuals
i who manifest so little interest In
the stirring events of life, which are
buzzlng like bees all around them, are
often insensible to their lamentable de-
linquencies.
Occasionally, however, their con-
seriousness flutters a moment, but,
seemingly changing its benumbed
mind, yawns, mods and falls asleep to
dream.
But they are going to wake up and
do something tomorrow.
They will yank the old world from
its easy chair and wake Its billion in
habitants with nm earthquake.
Hitherto they have been shaping a
brilliant course, not quite matured yet,
or in a fit state TO be presented in its
entirety - their lntimates, who have
wept over them, prayed for them, and
done their utmost to arouse them to
action.
There is. however. no declaration on
the part OF these h%abituated drones of
making undue haste.
The months and years stretch ahead
in long rows on either side of ton.or-
rows path. Why fuss, 1uster and
worry?

THE BORDEN MYSTERY

THOUGH there have been crimes
4 which stirred the public feeling
more deeply, the mystery connected
with the murder of Andrew J. Borden
and his wife, wealthy residents OF
Fall River, Mass, contains elements of
the unusual which lift 1t far above
other similar problems and make 1t a
tit subject for a critical examination
by the most distinguished detectives
of ~fction-sleuths who are always far
more successful than those of real
life.
Andrew Borden was seventy years
of age. His wife was sixty-four, and.
although they were afterwards found
to be worth some 100000, they lived
modestly in a comparatively small
house, and employed only one serv-
ant, Bridget Sullivan. This maid-of-
all-work, and Lizzie Borden, Mr.. BOr-

Radio Fans Alike Everywher.

European audiences are interested in
listening In" on very much the same
kind of entertainment as are those on
this side of the Atlantic. The Neither
lands Radio Industrle, a firm which
regularly ~broadcasts programs which
are heard not only by Dutch, but also
by English audiences, sends orchestra

according to reports, and is used for
commercial as well as purely enter

Why should they bother themselves
while youth Is so full of delightful ex-
pectaneies and time so abundant.
They are not seeking the dull, com-
mon roads in life, but the magnificent
n that take direct to fame and
wealth In the glare of sunlight and
amid the plaudits of an admiring
world, swept suddenly off its feet by
the daring work of genius.
SO the years drift by, and in their
drifting there comes sometimes to
these disciples of the god of futurists
a pe~trifying fear that makes them sick
at heart.
With an odd mixture of humility and
pride stirring In their ill-arranged
brain they are prompted to exertion.
But they have unconsciously lost the
skill which was theirs when life was
vibrant with power. They reach out
but they touch not. And now, all of
Il sudden, a terrible realization over
whelms them.
While they were lettering, putting
off until tomorrow, their plodding as
sociates were improving their time,
gaining respect and an assured conf
petence for the bare days of winter.

Canadian French.

There is a difference between Part.
sian and Canadian French, easily I'M.
derstood when it is remembered how
many years have gone by since Canada
received any immigration from France.
But II would not be exactly correct
to say that the French spoken in
Canada is faulty and incorrect. The
English of two hundred years ago
would sound very curious in our
ears. The French taught in schools
and colleges is as near to that used
In France as possible.
