TIPS TO THE RADlofST

Fired 90. caliber rifle shells
make good switch points for tun-
ing coils and receiving trans
formers. -
A single wire aerial 100 to
$50 feet long Is sufficient for
local and long distance reception
Of broadcasting stations.
Do not string aerials across
the street or across electric
wires. Keep antenna, wires of
electric light and telephone
poles. g. s;sz -
Stranded copper or solid cop
per wire should be used. Phos-
phor bronze wire II obtainable
is stronger but not superior to
copper. 8
. Good contact with a. piece Of
mineral like galena can be had !
by wrapping it in tinfoil. OF
course, the top Of the crystal
is left exposed s..
1he BRASS en0S OF large car
fridge shells make !, splendid
crystal detector cups. They
should be cleaned out thoroughly
before they are used.
The winding Of cardboard
tubes from oatmeal boxes may
be improved greatly If the tube
Is first heated in an oven for
about Is minutes to take out
the moisture and then wound:
or better still shellac it while
It is still warm and leave it
4 to- soak in. 49,
In winding tuning coils with
bare wire a thread should be
wound on with.the wire. This
will separate each turn. When
the coil IS finished, the thread
can be taken off. Shellac should
be applied imned iately. When
the. shellac is dry the copper
wire will hold Its place.

HOW TO LISTEN IN

There are two variables in our radio

when it is desired to, listen-in; first,

necessary to adjust the detector to
pick up that same station again.
!; To operate the receiver for the first

PROPERTY OWNERS DENY
HIGH PRICES ARE ASKED

CHARLESTON, June Protest
from owners OF residences within
bounds of the new capitol size were
made today. against charges that
the Prices they made for their prop
critics were unduly high. At q
meeting OF these property owners
last night. committee was ap-
pointed to get information from the
capitol commission and to invite
REPRESENTATIVES OF the commission
to attend another meeting Of the
owners later ia the week.
Canceding that the prices they
ask for their land are higher than
obtained before selection of the
Duffy street site for the new build
ing, the owners declared this was
not unreasonable because all prop
efty in that part of the city had
increased in value by reason of the
selection of the site. Their commit
tee was instructed to learn whether
figures set by the commission as
its idea of fair prices for the land
were final, or could be made the
basis of negotiations between the
owners and the commission.
