CALI Curci Pays Up
Taxes to Canadians

When CALI Curci went to Ottawa,
Canada, recently, she was interviewed,
She had no trouble in thinking up
something appropriate to say.
She told the interviewer that her tour
of Canada had impressed her very
much. The great c%oloratura soprano
was much impressed by the great cities
and the Astounding countryside. But
what impressed her most, she said,
was the appreciation she found in Cana
dians. That appreciation extended to
music and the higher realms of art.
In fact. there was nothing worth while.
she said, that Canadians failed to ap-
pI sciate.
Just about that time the income tax
department remembered that CALI
Curci had a little account to settle
say about $1,000 owing to Canada as
Income tax on receipts from her con-
certs during the previous two years.
1t appears that Galli-Curci had not
paid the tax and now that she was here
The tax department really would appre-
ciate her paying up.
She paid. One report had it that
her share Of the Ottawa concert re-
ceipts, $1,000, was seized, but r. W
Rreadner, tax commissioner, denies it,
But the fact remains that she paid.
Aren't the Canadians appreeiatiye of
good things? Ask Galli-Curci.

HEARD 1856 MILES WITH
WfNDOW-SCREEN AERIAL

At the Military academy, Kearney,
Neb., remarkable results in reception
were recently otained by using a win
dow screen for an aerial and a three
stage amplifier and a 14-inch magma
vox.
A photograph record and market re-
ports could be heard at least 100 feet
away. The screen vas connected with
the receiver only. by bending a wire
and hooking it through the mesh. No
solder was used. The screen was
located about 20 feet from the ground
on a porch on the west side of n
three-story. steel reinforced concrete
building. At the same height with
the screen and not more than 80 feet.
away were some trees. One end of
the screen rested on the railing Of
the porch. the other on the floor. The
insulated wire connecting the screen
with the instrument lay along the floor
of the porch and ran in through the
window. Two high tension lines
carrying 1900 volts ran parallel to the
screen about 100 feet away. This sort
of an aerial may solve some problems
for radio enthusiasts in cities. :.

You Read a Novel
Like a Time Table

Novels usually are read in two ways
depending upon the sex of the reader
A woman opens a novel at the last
page to see if the author has per
haps discovered a new way of de-
scribing the fadeout embrace. Of
course the author never has, but what
is novel reading without hope?
Your male reader, however, prides
himself upon a self-controi superior TO
this. He is just as curious about the
final kiss as his feminine prototype.
but under pretense of preferring to
see how the author develops his story
he begins at page one and reads
straight through to the end.
Neither method is correct. says
Baron Ireland in the New York Her
aid. A novel should be read the same
way as a railroad time table. You
are going, for instance. from Boston
to New York. But finding your leav-
ing and arriving times is embarrassing.
The intriguing part Of the business is
discovering the towns that lie be-
tween the terminal points. You slide
your finger down the column and
look, mommer. did you know this train
goes through Westerly? Sure it does
Westerly, r. i. And n little further
down you find New Haven. Now, how
the dickens did that ever get in on
Il Boston-New York trip? Well, well.
Thus you speculate, although as a mat
ter Of fact you don't care two pins
about New Haven and you never heard
of Westerly.
That is the right way to read a
novel. First you look at page one,
which tells you that on a bright or
RAINY day John or Ethel sat or stood
at the window or door drinking in the
sunshine as it flooded the garden or
gazing at the sodden meadows
drowned in rain. Turn now to the
last page. You learn here that as Ar
thur took Claire in to his arms for the
first time the fogs Of suspicion melted
for the last time in the warm glow of
nerfect love. These two pages are
your terminal points-the Boston and
New York of the story.
Turn now to chapter nine or 10,
or the Westerly station OF your
novel Tt says that just as MIR.
Gregory finished his usual breakfast OF
rolls and coffee and with a sigh of
satisfaction lit a cigarette. George
Deeks entered unceremoniously. Beeks,
Gregory; who are these!
It is precisely here that you begin
to feel the urge to connect tnese lnfee
stations. But wait. Glance now at
chapter 81, corresponding to New
Haven. What have we here? Nothing
less than the startling information mat
i was late az John hurried to his
appointment at the Antlers cafe
John? Who's John? Mr.. Gregory,
Tin Ethel. Claire, Arthur: how are
these. people to be brought into a
continuous story? Boston, Westerly,
New Haven, New York; how did they
get on the same route!
You are now primed for your &C.
tual trip. Half the joy of the jour
new Is checking off the stations on
he time table as you pass them; So
Won settle down with your novel and
your cigar or your cigarette, depend
ing upon your sex, and plunge in again
MT page one, this time to read straight
through. 49,,
That is the true technic of novel
reading.

Some H0lidQu
....DesSeyts...

The holiday season is the time when
every housewife uses citron, as well
as candied orange and lemon peel, in
making cakes, buildings and other des-
serts. Of course, these dishes are just
as good In other months as they are in
mid-winter, but the holiday period is
the one when candied peel is most in
evidence in the kitchen. Did you know
that the dictionary gives, as one mean
ing of zest. "a piece of lemon or or
ange peel" Here are some recipes
that use this very zestful and healthful
dainty:
English Walnut Cake
One-half cup of butter, three eggs,
two cups sifted flour, one CUP granu-
lated sugar, two teaspoons baking
powder, n teaspoon vanilla, one tea
spoon lemon extract, one-half cup
milk, II cup chopped walnuts, two
to tablespoons chopped maraschino cher
ries, one tablespoon chopped citron,
one tablespoon chopped orange peel.
one tablespoon chopped lemon peel,
one-half cup powdered sugar.
Beat yolks of eggs with ~granuIated
sugar until light yellow. Cream butter
and mix in. Sift baking powder with
flour, and add in %spoonfuls alternately
with milk. Beat the whites of two of
the eggs and fold in; do not, however.
beat after the flour is added or grain
will be coarse. Stir in the lemon ex-
tract. Turn into cake pan lined with
creased paper and sprinkle nuts on ton

of the cake and sprinkle with the
chopped fruit, peel and citron.
Marble Cakes
One cup brown sugar., two Guns
flour, one teaspoon baking powder.
one-half teaspoon grated nutmeg, one
eighth teaspoon mace, two teaspoons
cinnamon, one-fourth cup candied or
ange peel, one-fourth cup candied
lemon peel, one-fourth cup citron, n
spoon grated orange peel, two egg
yolks. three egg whites.
Sift together the flour, baking
powder and spices. Sift again after
adding the sugar. Then make a hol-
low in the center of the sifted dry in
gradients; add the eggs. unbeaten, and
stir in the mixture q little at n time.
Beat well for about five minutes. Add
the orange Juice and grated rind and
chopped fruit last. Make into balls the
size of a large walnut, dipping the
fingers into pulverized sugar. Bake
on oiled or buttered paper, an inch
apart, in a hot oven.
Twentieth Century Fruit Cake

capacity of .0O1 mid. and be insulated
for 500 volts.
A single coil oscillation transformer
will be found to give good results IN
this circuit as we need not worry
about decrement with a CIV. set. This
coil consists of 80 turns of No. q

diameter of 8 inches.
The antenna series condenser may
be variable from .0003 to .00OS MID.
If the antenna fundamental is low

For the grid condenser we may use q
capacity ranging between .oo2 and
O04 with insulation to withstand 3oD

a carrying capacity of 30 miiiamperes-

Characteristic of this type Of circuit

The variable contact A determines
the wave-length at which the circuit

cluded between A and B. In order to
secure good operation the plate i'm
pedance must equal the antenna i'm
pedance. The condition is obtained By
adjusting the turns included between
B and c.
1t will be observed that bringing
B nearer A increases the plate induct-
ance, but decreases the grid induct-
ance. At all times the three variable
should occupy the same relative posi-
tons as shown. In other words B
must connect to some turn of the coil
between A and G. This makes the
plate and grid radio frequency yoltages
$50 degrees out of phase, which il nee
essary for oscillation in any vacuum
tube circuit.
The amount Of current obtained in
the antenna will, Of course, depend
largely upon the radiation resistance.
This set will radiate from / to 1.75
amperes with the average amateur
antenna. The power input into the
tubes can be roughly determined by
the color of the plates. These should
not run hotter than q dull red ii long

per In series with the grid leak re-
sistance. This is the best manner in
which to central a tube set for teleg-
raphy as the natural characteristics
of the grid are utilized. The action
taking place may be described as
follows: Under normal conditions
with the tubes oscillating. a certain
value of negative potential is main
tanned on the grids because of the
voltage drop across the grid leak.
Since the leak is shunted around the
grid condenser, this condenser cannot
hold a charge and the tubes oscillate
about favorable part of their charac-
teristic curve. Now, if we open the
grid leak circuit with the key or chop
per, the grid condenser Immediately
accumulates a negative charge which

shuts off the plate current, and the
antenna output therefore drops to
zero.
The Chopper
The chopper is simply a device for
opening and closing the grid leak cir

ing I.C.W. telegraphy possible, which
can be received without a heterodyne

adjustments are made. Therefore
while the average value of plate cur
rent may be the same, 1t is possible
to so adjuast the transmitter that the
peak value is twice its normal
amount. This in turn results in a
considerable increase in the peak an
tenna current which. while not indi-

effective in securing maximum range.
Consequently we have a combination
that permits us to increase the out

loading the tubes. as the practical
limitation in a tube set is the energy
d~issipated as heat In the plates.
When the plates reach too high a
Temperature, gas is generally given
off. causing the familiar glow which
may destroy the tube
In conclusion, it might be stated
that a vacuum tube set built as de-
scribed will give good results and in
range obtained will outperform many
spark transmitters requiring two or
three times the radio output.-Copy-

HALLS MISS MUZ|0
As BEST MEDIA IN
AMERICAN OPERA
Edward Moore, Chicago Critic
Says She Adds Much to
"Pagliacci."

Claudia Muzio effected about as re-
markable a transformation in matters
operatic last week as n is likely to
see in the course of several seasons.
says Edward Moore, Chicago Tribune
music critic. "She managed to turn all
of 'Pagliacci' into a performance nearly
as good as she was in the role OF
Media. Considering the way things
had been going up to that time, 1t was
no small feat.
Miss Muzio is SO far the greatest
J Media in the history of Chicago's opera
that it is difficult at this moment to
remember who was the second. She
went through the part like a lambert
flame, and she set the pace for all
the others. BY force of her example
Cesare Formichi, a splendid singer and
rather conventional actor, became as
Tonic something considerably better
than a conventional actor. Desire De-
frere. the Silvio, went through his love
scene with Media far more earnestly
and animatedly than he has ever been
observed to do before. Charles Mar
bit of glow on his own account
1T is quite possible that Miss Muzio,
in spite of her lovely voice, will never
pS idHheu as u great singer, Which,
does not in the least interfere with
her being an uncommonly great oper-
attic artist. There were several de-
tails in the "Ballatella," for one ex-
ample, that a finished singer would
have gone through or over and that
Miss Muzio went around. But she
goes around them so crafty, and uses
SO much animated personality in the
process, that. one is quite likely to for
give them at the time and forget them
Immediately afterward.
II wish that words of mine had the
power to re-create the way she walks
across the stage in the first act-a
sinking, gliding stride, with head shot
forward and sholders swaying. 1t is
not in the least refined or aristocratic
or even polite. but it is vital and throb-
bling and a rhythmic joy to behold.
