, no longer a note. At this point the
set is in exact resonance, and If the
ticker, coupling, or plate tuning in6Uc-
lance is decreased until the detectpr
tube stops os~cillating the very best ad-
justment is obtained for reception Of
that particular station.
Unfortunately while the listener is
going through tbs operation his receiv-
ing set is acting as a continuous wave
transmitter, and is producing some su-
harmonious walls in the phones of his
%neighbors who happen to be already on
the wave of the same station. The
continuous wave sent out by the re-
ceiver combines with the carrier wev e
of the transmitting station p~roduciog
an audible note. If the operator could
tune his set as simply as was described
above there would be very little inter
ference. but he usually whistles back
and forth across the wave of the trans
hitting station several times. Often
! between selections several listeners
who have been getting the concert per-
fectly will experience the annoyance Of
a near neighbor who is trying to better
his reception and between selections
gets his tube to oscillate and whistle
up and down q few times.
All listeners should be very careful
to keep their detector in a non-oscillat-
ing condition as much as possible to re-
duce this annoyance OF interference
between receivers.
Some tuners radiate more energy n
cause more interference than ohters.

Oriental Belief Drives Youth
to Attempt Suicide
as Escape.

On the eve of Il departure for
Sianfu. while we were quietly smoking
behind the paper screen that separated
the main room from the temple court
yard, we suddenly heard just in front
of us a shot and the sound Of a falling
body and heartrending means. Our
boy An. who for Is years had been
No. T. in the German legation. was
IN a state of great excitement. With
considerable difficulty we learned that
the brigand had been showing An his
pistol. and that An had discharged it
accidentally. 1t was fortunate for us
that the ~villager who got the bullet
was standing in the doorway. for Cap
tam Collins was sitting in the direct
line Of fire and otherwise would have
been killed. | did my best for the
wounded man. but the bullet had
smashed the femur and | knew he
would never walk again. His leg should
have come off. but | had no facilities
for amputating it there, aud aver if |
could have performed the operation,
his family would not have consented.
The next morning An settled the
matter with the wounded man for $50
t$1O in United States currency. The
mans mother was in a frenzied state
until the money had been paid.

enough. but both of us had so much to
do in Picking that we could not linger.
Almost Immediately after we set off
again. An. our boy" became very
much depressed. He had had a series
of small misfortunes whereby he lost
face and he decided that the man
whom he had shot at Lingtaimiamo
must have died and that the mans
spirit was pursuing him In revenge.
This sounds absurd to a westerner,
but it is very real to a Chinese. He
knows. for example. that an enemy who
wishes to haunt him may commit sui
eide on his doorstep, in order to ac-
complish that end. Ans dependency
at the idea of ghostly persecution in
creased until finally he lost his mind.
Argue as we would. he answered only
that the man was dead. that the spirit
was following him and that he, too,
must die-there was no other course.
His misery came to a climax at
Kwangyingtang. He awoke us at l
O'Clock in the morning and begged me
to kill him or at least to lend him my

Freckfes, even the large ones, never
strike me as being such a great calam-
ity like the loss of hair or 20 pounds
extra. A woman l know whose hair
is p~rematurely gray says not only the
person who has not gray hair can be
philosophic about it. So it seems with
the freckles. Freckles are due TO an
irregular UlSIGlDutlOu VI lDe pigment
forming cells in the skin and their ap-
p%earance is caused or exaggerated by
exposure to sunlight. Tanning, too, is
q similar manifestation of stimulation
of pigment formation by light. The
only difference is that persons who tan
have an even distribution of the pig
ment forming cells in the skin. while
in those who freckle the distribution is
uneven.
Therefore. the prevention of tanning
and freckles consists in avoiding sun
light. II you find them really q grief
then. the prevention is our safest and
eurest relief from worry. Freckles are
difficult to get rid Of. The remedies
in general use are not magic in effect,
too frequently quite unsatisfactory.
The frequent rubbing of the pigment
spot with lemon juice is an old and
popular measure and just about as
effective for the light summer freckles
as | know of. but it has TO be carried
to a point of two Or three times daily
application to make improvement in a
short time. Sponging with a peroxide
solution after the face is washed
causes some bleaching. Strong solu-
tons of corrosive sublimate are some
times embodied in freckle remedies, but
as this is one of the most dangerous
poisons, only under a physicians direc-
ton should 1t ever be used. If there is

This paste | have found perhaps the
most satisfactory of any in treating the
stubborn freckles: Oxychloride of bis

grain: peroxide of hydrogen, one dram ;

Apply it at night after washing the
face and allow to remain on the skin.
In addition to the ordinary precau-
tons that are part OF dress, a wide
brimmed hat, a parasol, a thick coating
of a heavy cosmetic powder afford
some protection. Over a base of cold
cream lightly applied, it has additional
advantages.

TURN PUBLICITY
ON ALL FAkERS
Best Way to Stamp Out
Fraudulent Advertis-
ing, Holland Says

Declaring that the greatest duties
that evolve upon the advertising fra
ternity today was to protect the
farmer from fraudulent advertising
and stock selling schemes Of the un-
scrupulous promoter. Lou Holland,
vice president of the Associated Ad-
vertislng Clubs of the World, told
members of the local ad club Tues
day that the only method for get
ting the best OF this class OF men
was by merCiless publicity.
The fraudulent advertiser is not
afraid Of the penitentiary," Holland
said. There is one thing he is
afraid of, however, and that IL pub
liclty. You can send him to the peni-
tentiary. but he will get out on APP
peal bonds, and after several years
have elapsed and the people have
forgotten he finally will go free.
Such man is the worst kind of n
counterfeiter and the success OF his
schemes lies In keeping the people
in the dark. When the light of pub
licity Is thrown upon him he can't
work and Is forced to quit. Pub
licity is the one thing we have to
fight him with"

owner has been unable TO bring to

club members were told.
