BY ELIZABETH THOMPSON

Dear Mrs. Thompson We are two
girls IA and 5 years Of age and deep
ly in love with two boys three years
our senior. We are both very nice
looking and very popular. The boys
don't seem to love US because after
they have gone with US two or three
times they look for other girls. There
are two other girls the boys seem to
love and we are Jealous of them. What
can we do to win the love of these
boys?
BLONDE AND BRUNETTE.
You will gain nothing by Tying to
win the love of the boys. I4cre goes
where it will and cannot lie forced.
Ny advice is to stop thinking about
the two boys and wait until love
comes to you unSought. Probably the
reason your friends do not go with
you more than two or three times is
because you are too free with them.
Do not permit them to make love.
Single. Disengaged. Looking for
Someone to Love-" Your reasoning is
wrong. You seem to think that when
you find the right girl you will be so
in love with her thai you will not
want to drink any more. Such is not
the case. You are fixing the habit
er of any girl to make you stop Be
sides, until you give up drinking AMI
give it up permanently VOC are not
worthy OF the kind CT girl you want.

XII. C~ONDENSERS

These appliances are a most 1mpor-
tant part of a wireless set, as with
out them the oscillations, ever if
detected by the instruments, would
be very weak and faint. They are
divided broadly into two classes known
as Fixed Condensers and Variable
Condensers, the former being the simp-
lest, and the latter the most efficient,
for while a fixed condenser is always of
one capacity and can only be increased
or decreased by adding to or sub
tracing from the number of sheets,
the variable type may be altered or
adjusted at will by a knob or handle,
thus tuning or adjusting the receiving
circuit exactly as a tuning coil is adj
justed, but much more delicately, as
the adjustment of a tuning coil con-
sists in shortening the length of coil
by jumping connections from n turn
of wire to another to alter wave
lengths, whereas, the condenser adj
juStment is slow, ever and gradual and
alters capacity but it must not be

receiving, both a condenser and some
sort of coil or similar device must be
employed to get satisfactory results.
The simplest form of fixed condenser
consists of a number of alternating
sheets of tin-foil and waxed paper or
mica, the alternate sheets of foil be-
ing connected by wires which are in
turn connected with the terminals
where required.
To make a fixed condenser it is only
necessary to lay sheets of tin-foil be
tween sheets of waxed paper and con-
meet them. A very efficient little
fixed condenser, to be used by shunt-
ing across the receivers of a small set,
or as a grid-condenser with a
tube set, can be made as shown in
Fig %. Have ONE smooth tin-foil,
free from holes or tears, and cut two
pieces about one inch in length and
one-half an inch wide. Then, from
thoroughly waxed paper-which can
be purchased or can be made by soak
ing good quality writing paper in
parafine wax-cut three pieces 21s
inches in length and z inches VIDE. On
one Of these pieces place a piece of
the foil then cover this with a second
strip of paper, place the other strip of
foil over this and cover with the
last strip of paper. Be very sure that
the edges of the tin-foil are well with
In the margins of paper and are ac-
curately in line or conferred. In fact,
before placing them, it is wise to draw
a square the size of the foil on each
piece of paper, spacing it equidistant
from edges, and arrange the foil to ut
this, Fig. "a. Next cut two pieces OF
light wire five or six inches long
flexible stranded wire is best), spread
the strands at one end of each piece
apart and place one of these frayed
and spread ends on the lowest piece !
The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1922-07-20

of foil between 1t and the bottom
paper. Next, place the other, frayed
and spread the same way, on the upper
piece of foil at the opposite end and
with a few drops of hot paraffine fix
them in place on the edges of the
paper. Then, roll the whole, being
careful not to displace the foil (this
may be secured to each piece of paper
with a few drops of paraffine at the
edges) and form a small cylinder Fig.
25. Wind the cylinder tightly with
fine thread at each end, as shown, or
wrap with adhesive tape and dip the
whole into hot paraffine. In using this
condenser with a crystal set it Is only
necessary to Shunt, or connect it,
across your phone receiver wires, but
If using it in a acuum tube set you
must use a grid-leak shunted across
it. This is merely a piece of cardboard
placed between two binding-posts or
terminals and with several soft lead
pencil lines drawn across it from post
to post. In order to be sure that a
good connection is made, draw pencil
marks about the holes where posts are
to be inserted. The distance between
posts should be not yer five-eighths
of an inch. Sometimes drawing ink
(made of carbon, for writing ink will
not serve) is used in place of lead
pencil, but the latter has the advantage
that the lines can be varied Of ad-
justed to give best results by means
of an eraser.
Variable c%ondensers are much more
difficult to make and while any in
genious boy can make them, it is
usually cheaper to purchase them
ready made. There are two common
forms, one known as the sliding plate,
Fig. 20, the other as the rotary, Fig. 81.
The former consists Of a number Of
metal plates, which slide back and
forth In a frame, case or box provided
with grooves and fixed plates. The
rotary type consists of a number of
semicircular plates Of metal so ar
ranged as to rotate or swing past a
series of fixed discs. In each form,
the air spaces between the plates cor
respond to the waxed paper between
the Strips OF Toll on the nXeu con-
densers. By means Of either of these
two variable forms. fine adjustment
of capacity may be obtained. Many
people cannot understand the func-
tfon of a condenser, but, broadly
speaking, it is to store up electrical
energy and then suddenly release it,
as the current passing through is in
terrupted, varied or broken, or, in
other words, to increase the o%scilla-
lions.
Although most small sets will OPP
crate with a fixed condenser and a
variable one is not necessary, yet the
variable type will always improve the
receiver and will permit much finer
tuning than a tuning coil of any type
by itself.

like that of a condenser, except that
it increases radiated energy, whereas,
a condenser has a very small amount
of radiation. 1t must also be borne
in mind that with a counterpOise no
ground wire is required, the lead-in
from the counterpoise being connected
with the set at the spot where the
ground wire is usually connected. In
setting up a counterpoise it should be
just as well and as thoroughly in
sulated as the aerial Gig. 22), and
the lead-in wire from it should be
kept at some distance from the aerial
lead-in to obviate losses by induc-
ton between the two. The most de-
sirable place for a counterpoise is
about three feet above the earth, but
as this height is usually inco%nvenient,

very distinct advantage. Many people
consider this device a complicated and
difficult affair, but in reality, 1t Is as
simple, if not simpler, than an aerial.
A favorite form of counterpoise con-
sists of several wires extending fan
wise as shown in the figures, but a
single wire will often give excellent
results and the only way to deter
mine the best number of wires to use
Is by experiment. Usually it is de-
sirable to place the counterpoise be-
low the aerial, but this is by no means
essential as it may be u in the OPP
posite direction from the aerial and
still work exactly as well, for the de-
vice has little or no connection with
the aerial. In fact, it's action is more

Before leaving the subject of aerlals
1t may be well to call attention to the
device known as a counterpoise and
which, for sending, is far superior to
using a ground, while with small sets
the advantages gained by a counter
poise in receiving do not pay for the
trouble of installing the device. This
Is because the co~unterpoise, while add
ing to the sharpness of tuning with a
receiving set and, therefore, aiding
In cutting out interference, will also
cut down the strength of the sounds
received. Therefore, with a crystal
set where ampliication is not pos
sible, the device is practically value
less, whereas, with a vacuum tube set
with two or more steps of amplif1ca-
ton, the counterpoise will prove a

not only on account of it being an
obstruction, but because it may be
injured by people or animals or may
be buried under snow in winter, it is
better to raise it about six feet, or
just high enough so people may pass
beneath it. Stout posts with guy wires
are the best supports, whereas, if the
device is placed on the roof, the
supports may be chimneys, walls, etc.
If placed on a roof beneath an aerial
leave all the space possible between
the two, either by keeping the counter
poise low or raising the aerial. Where
this is not convenient, the counter
poise may be run in another direction
instead of being placed below the
aerial wires.

ers Of S~ayreville and steps were
taken in that direction. Lemuel
Disbrow was unanimously elected
chairman of the organization. Mr..
Disbrow has long been an active
worker in the Republican ranks and

respectively. The following were
appointed to act as a rules COM
mittee: Mrs. II. Holthausen. Mrs.
