Proper Time for Cold
Bath Is in Morning

To advise cold baths Unfortunately
is wrong; there are many people who
cannot and should not take o cold bath,
a Y the Philadelphia Record
The cold bath is never a substitute
for a warm cleansing bath. but should
be looked upon as a splendid tonic to
start the day with.
A cold bath should never be taken at
night unless before dressing In the
evening, when one expects to dance or
take a lot of exercise after.
Little children are often forced to
suffer for years the torture OF a daily
cold bath which they cannot stand, and
no amount of training can regulate this
aversion to the shock of cold water.
1t is a very simple matter to find out
whether cold-water bathing is benefit
cial or not. There should be an i'm
mediate reaction from the shock, the
skin should glow and Jingle as from a
whip, and a feeling of exhilaration
should ~suffuse the body, but if one feels
cold, chilly, blue and depressed then
you may be sure it is too great n strain
on the heart and decidedly bad, espe-
cially for a child.
The roper time for a cold bath is
Immediately on jumping out of bed
White you are ntli "uIlu 1EOul Lie
heat Of the bed; don't stand around
waiting to get chilled before you plunge
into the cold water; take it while you
are still warm and only stay one min
ute, then get out and rub as briskly
as ever you can with q rough towel,
hopping about and getting as much
movement as ever you can; if you feel
the least bit depressed, turn on the
hot tap and stand in the hot water for
a few seconds. This will counterfeit
the cold and bring the blood again to
the surface. Even after a hot bath n
should try, if possible, to dash a little
cold water over the body, especially on
the face and chest.
Warm baths should be taken at
night: they are very relaxing and con-
ducive to sleep, and it is such a luxu-
rious feeling to slip into bed after o
soothing, relaxing bath. Then in the
morning, if one can't stand the cold
douche or plunge, try sponging over
with water to which a little alcohol has
been added. Try, if possible, to battle
and dress in a warm room, as a morn
ing chill can spoil all the rest OF the
dow

CARUSO'S CAREER
NOT AN EASY ONE:
He FEARED FAILURE
Two and Quarter Millions in
Royalties Was Part of His
Income.

Fear that he would fall from his
place at the top of the ladder OF music
haunted Enrico Caruso constantly. He
said that he never set foot upon a
stage without asking himself whether
he would succeed In finishing. an opera.
"a conscientious singer is never sure
Of himself or of anything" he said on
one occasion. "He is ever in the hands
Of destiny"
A reporter of the Paris lie Gaulois
asked Caruso: What do you think OF
your successes?"
"My successes replied the singer,
cor my unhappiness? What are my
successes? / have none, / happen to
be a very well known tenor, a kind OF
trademark to be exploited by an m
pressario. / cannot consider my "
desires. dare not even think Of
catching cold. / have to take care of
that delicate watch mechanism which
is my throat, and Of the rest Of my
body, in order that not a grain OF sand
may get into the intricate wheels n
interfere with their workings
Many were the incidents attending
Caruso's Berlin engagement in 1910.
In his most joyial mood, after the
strain of the premiere, the tenor
plunged into the kind Of a play which
seemed so unfailingly to relieve any
tension. One night, following his Gus
tom Of smoking between the acts the
tenor was accosted by a fireman who
informed him he was infringing upon
an unbreakable rule: Il am sorry"
said the fireman, but you cannot
smoke"
'Then I will leave the theater," re-
piled Caruso, in a testing tone, which
was not understood.
Alarmed at what he accepted as an
earnestly uttered threat the fireman
reported the matter to his chief. That
officer FASTENED to the stage and gave
Caruso full permission to smoke with
one proviso: he must be followed about
constantly by a boy carrying a pail Of
water. And this actually happened
during the remainder Of Caruso's en-
The sum of s1,s25, 900 in talking ma
chine royalties had been paid to Caruso
during the life of his contracts to jan
uary, 1920, an average of a little more
than $125,OO0 a year. But for the
year from January, 1921 to 1922, the
royalties received by the Caruso estate
reached the sum total of 100000.
Thus a total Of $2,225.O0O has been
earned through this medium.

NOT ON SAME SOCIAL PLANE

"A certain eastern social leader"
said a member of the bar of Denver at
a recent dinner in Los Angeles, ere
ceived a legal summons to appear in
court at a certain period. She was
much exercised thereby. She explained
the matter to her dearest friend thus:
"'Certainly, I have received the cita-
ton, but / shall just rs certainly not
appear. In fact, I could not. Not only
am ] socially ~unacquainted with Judge
Smith, but the whole tone of his com
munication is so impossible that I abb
s~olutely decline to know him."

BY CHARLES DAvIDso

Now that standard power tubes arr
| available for amateur use 1t is prob.
, able that considerable experimental
work will be done in building tube
transmitters. The writer has had q
number of years experience in the de-
sign and operation of continuous
wave equipment and hopes to provide
some practical information for the
amateur who is about to build his
first G. w. set.
A Typical Circuit
W. shall first consider a circuit
that is to be used solely for straight
G. w. and I. G. w. Uninterrupted con-
tinuous Wave) transmission. Obvi-
ously any circuit that eliminates the
expensive motor generator or recti-
fier tubes will quickly find favor. A
properly built self-rectifying transmit
ter has these advantages and at the
same time will give as great or greater
range than more complicated systems.
Working en- the basis that two of
the five-watt power tubes are to be
used as oscillators, the following units
are required:
A 40-watt transformer giving a
secondary voltage Of 700 to 500 with
a tap brought out at the mid-point of
the secondary winding.
A filament transformer with an out
put of five amperes at 10 volts.
Two radio chokes for the plate cir
cult.
Two bypass condensers.
A chopper OF grid circuit inter
rupter.
An oscillation transformer.
An antenna series condenser.
A grid leak and grid condenser.
These units are connected as shown
in figure /.
The plate and filament transformers
may be purchased as one unit. Each
radio choke consists of $50 turns of

the bushing. Cut out a round piece of
thick mica large enough so that the
wire will fit tightly on it, and then
groove the mica. Cut out a hole in the
center of the disc so it will fit snug
~ over the bushing. and drill a hole
the size of this set screw parallel with
the disc. Put the set screw in and this
will hold the disc on the dial. Punch
two holes in the disc where the two
ends come and connect one end to the
bushing. This serves as one contact
and the other contact is made by the
small brash strip that is fixed on the
panel

FOR HANDKERCHIEF MAKERS

Everyone is making the pretty linen
handkerchiefs with the drawn threads
and all experience the same difficulty
with the threads breaking. This trou-
BILE may be eliminated by attaching a
silk thread to the thread that is to be
drawn and the silk thread pulled
through, then attach your colored
thread that is to be drawn through
the linen to the silk thread and it can
be pulled without trouble.

The amateur enjoys nothing more
than to duplicate the rusIts of the

one, ms is the usual practice. Start
the winding by taking a turn around
one of the pins. Then lead the wire

to the 10th and 11th pins on the OPP

After the first layer is wound it will
be readily seen that an exact duplicate
of the machine wound coil is obtained.

The use of radio transmitted speech
for commercial purposes. instead of
the code, has caused embarrassment
where it is necessary TO take down the
messages as they are received. Opei-

method of transacting business.
