What Happened Between Dr. Petit and Cinirc Foster.

 No doubt she will" Lillian replied comaosedly but it won't hurt her"
 supposed my face showed the startled query was too polite 10 voice. for Lilliais explained with a smile.
 "It's forty-to-onc shot" she said, that your mother-in-law is pretty well fed-up with her daughter Eliza . beth and the children. Her nerves are pretty nearly on the ragged edge and if she didn't have any physical labor to do she'd exercise her nerves by going into one Of her tsntrnms and ragging you. As 1t is. she can iuggle the frying-pa and bang the double boiler until she gets the choler out Of her system. By night she'll be so fired shell go to sleep like q lamb"
 By night none Of our lives will be worth a penny whistle" laughed.
 "But we all possess excellent foot work. and she'll be too tired 10 chase us," Lillian retorted.
 ''T wish Elizabeth would go home," said inhospitably, but the addition Of rocking chair guest like my sis ter-in-law and four obstreperous youngsters to a maidless household was enough. l felt, to make almost any chatelaine quail.
 Shell go tomorrow. mark what I'm telling you" Lillian, prophesied. "Her mother will put her to work to- day. and from what l have observed of your r-in-law, labor of any sort Is anathema to her.
 T hope Mother piles 1t dn her to- day" l said viciously, and relieved, though half-ashamed of my outburst, l climbed into my car and backed # out of the barn.
 An Important Call.
 Poor, unsuspecting Elizabeth '" Lillian apostrophized, as we rolled down the driveway past her windows, the shades of which were still drawn. Little she knows what Is in store for her today. Oh, joy Madge, you needn't turn your head, you're past now, anyway, but if you could have seen your mother-in-law just now as l saw her ! Elizabeth's window shade went up with a jerk, and Mother Graham. still holding the cord with which she had sent it up. was framed in the window registering dis gust, indignation and all the other emotions appropriate to the occasion.

 After he had devoured the first ear of corn, Fatty Coon went back and pulled another off the same shock.
 Again he reused Master Meadow Mouse from his slumbers.

 The third time that Fatty Coon wrenched an ear of corn from the shock where Master Meadow Mouse lived, he paused and cooked an ear towards the top of the shock.
 Was that 8 squeak?" he asked himself. And then he sniffed Hal" he cried. Do I smell Meadow Mouse 2"
 Fatty Coon was mot mistaken. When he rustled the dried cornstalks the third time Master Meadow Mouse had cried right out in his sleep. And he walked up just soon enough to hear Fatty Coons remarks.
 Maybe you do smell Meadow Mousse" he replied under his breath, so Fatty Coon couldn't hear him, but it won't do you any good; for I'm not coming out of my castle until you go away"
 It soon appeared that Fatty Coon did not intend to leave. For Fatty began to pull at the cornstalks with his claws. Although Farmer Green had bound the stalks together tight ly, one by one .ITatty tore them loose and let them fall upon the ground.
 And inside the shock, Master Meadow Mouse suddenly started up in alarm.

This is clear working urawing
showing how the spreader OF an
aerial is equipped. The importance
of good insulatOrs is explained in
the accompanying article
Some Pointers on the Aerial

Quite early in this series of articles
We discussed various methods of put
ting w an aerial and | supposed that
every one understood the matter by this
time. I have been told lately, how
ever, BY several Of my friends in the
radio business that customers constant
~ come in to them for further informa.
ton about putting up their antcnna and
that most of these questions have to do
with details of eQuipping the spread
prS. y
This IS probably due 10 the fact that,
following the unfortunate spread of the
one wire aerial idea in most of the radio
magazines beginners have tried the sin
gle wire without satisfaction and have
finally resorted TO two or four wires
in desperation.
| wish the readers Of these articles
would get one thing very clearly into
their heads. and that IS this: If you
have n stretch of seventy five feet or
more for your aerial and can get it
thirty feet or more in height, one wire
will be perfectly satisfactory. II,
however, your stretch Of aerial Is less
than seventy feet or lower than thirty
you should have at least two wires and
preferably four, and in spite of all the
assertions TO the contrary made by the
learned gentlemen who sign Radio
Eng after their names, you WILL
get better results ton short stretches
and low heghts) with multiple wire
rerials than you will with single wires.
If you can stretch an aerial a hundred
feet or more, your one wire will be the
best for you to use AS well as the sim
plest.
In order TO meet the questions of the
beginners who are puzzled about the
rigging M Of their spreaders, | am pub
fishing herewith fairly large sized
drawing of the standard spreader
equipment for four-wire aerial. This
drawing is really self explanatory. but
there are a few pointers which may be

persistent collector Of dampness. Once
damp, the moisture forms an excellent
conductor and in IA short time you will
find yourself receiving weaker and
weaker signals without knowing why.
The explanation is that the current is
leaking through the moisture in the
dirt on the insulator and is so escaping
to the ground. The longer the insu-
IatOr and the more surface given to il by
deep cOrrugatiOns, the more resistance
there will be to this current and th" less
likely it. will be to escape from your
set.
Whatever type of insulators you use,
1t Is very wise caution, every now
and then, to give them good coating Of
heavy automobile grease. This has the
happy faculty of shedding moisture and
it is well worth the trouble.
BE particularly careful of the insu-
lators in your guy ropes. 1t is really
worth while to put two insulators in
each guy rope, especially Il you wish to
receive during or after n shower, fog
or dewy night. Here the corrugations
are especially important; otherwise the
moisture will form in drops and will
run straight down the guy rope and the
electric current will joyOusly follow the
drop Of water and escape to the ground
Only deep corrugations will prevent this
calamity.
The sprcader for two-w wire aerial
should be at least three feet, that for
u three wire at least five feet, and that
for four wire at least eight feet. In
other words, you should have your aerial
wires about two and half feet apart
and leave about six inches of the
spreader sticking out at each end.

Last Sunday the Wciihc uunmi;-
tee OF the Business Women Circle,
assisted by several generous friends,
gave the county convicts, the warden,
his guards and their families, az well
as some visitors, who were either
relatives or friends of the boys in

chicken pilleau, ice cream, cake and
coffee.
The United Markets, w. b. Marcum,
Stephens Grocery, The Wright Place
and f. J. Markham each donated a
chicken; the Polk County Dairy Com
pany gave some delicious ice cream,
and Mr. Dryers contribution was Il
fine lot OF bread fresh from the oven
which he had baked Sunday morning
especially for this occasion.
The spokesman for the cOnvictS
voiced the appreciation OF the men in
camp, and spoke in highest terms o.
the officers of the camp.
The officers and prisoners seemed
to be helped and made happier by the
religious services. which included
some fine singing by the colored men,
and recitations b. white men Of the
camp.
The visitors state that Mr.. Goodwin,
the warden. deserves mach credit for
the selection OF his deputies, both of
whom are kind and generous in their
treatment of the men.
In general the camp appears to
run smoothly, is well organized, and
the sanitation of the camp is up to
the standard. which in itself is COM
