There is probably not much love
lost between the Governor of New
Jersey and the Governor of Pennsyl-
vania, one being a pronounced wet
and the other the EXTREMIST of ex-
treme drys. and it may be possible
that Gov. Silzer enjoyed taking a
fall' out of Gov. Pinchot.

Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait, woman
suffrage leader. does not like the
presidential goods the voters are be-
ing shown. In speech in Dallas
Tex. the other day she said that In
her opinion neither the democratic nor
the republican party had put forward
a candidate half big enough to fill
the job" Then she added that she
was more interested in the what" of
the coming national campaign than
in the who"
1t is held by republican politicians
that pep" has been put into the
Hiram Johnson presidential campaign
by the selection of Frank H. Hitch
cock as Senator Johnson's campaign
manager. He is what in politics, is
called IAN old campaigner" for fair.
He has managed presidential cam
paigns, and for years has been
regarded as very "forehanded" in
rounding up delegates far in advance
of the time when other managers
were setting out on the task.
There has been much speculation in
the last few months what Gen. Hitch
cock might be doing in his favorite
outdoor sport and he may have the
answer for the question when the
candidates begin to count noses In the
pre- convention primaries.

placed to the left of the plate, with the
prongs up, and that knives and spoons
are placed at the right, the tip Of the
spoon uppermost and the blade of the
knife turning in toward the plate.
Spoons are placed to the right of the
knives, usually, although it is custom
airy to place the oyster fork at the ex-
IRENE right. Some persons prefer to
place the oyster fork diagonally across
the spoons and knives, but this is per-
haps not in such simple taste. 1t is a
very good plan to have the silver ar
ranged according to courses. Thus
the oyster fork, which will be needed
before any of the spoons or the knives,
is placed where it is most easy to get
1t, at the extreme right, the other
knives and spoons being arranged as
they will be needed from that point
toward the plate. With the forks the
one first needed is at the extreme left.
AT formal dinners, of course, there is
no butter spreader, because there is no
butter. If dinner rolls are served, they
are eaten without butter. But at
luncheons or at the family dinner,
where butter is served, the spreaders
are best placed across the butter plate.
OF course, these spreaders are con-
venience, but it is quite possible to
dispense with them, and many persons
who set well-equipped table do man.
age without them.

mary Of which has an impedance equal
to that Of vacuum tube. 1t will be
necessary to experiment in order to get
the exact winding. The secondary is
wound with some number "a enameled
wire and has a resistance of about 20
.ohms. The core is composed of bun
die Of iron wires % of an inch in di-
ameter by pa inches long.
The only adjustments to be made
once these parts are assembled is the
distance between one of the pole
pieces of the magnet and the small
iron plate mounted upon the dia-
phragm. Once the proper adjustment
is made, the magnet may be secured
in place by means Of a small block
of wood inserted unde2 it, and held
there by a screw. 1t should be noted
that in order to allow free vibration
of the armature and diaphragm, the
two supporting screws which normal
ly hold the needle clamp in place are
removed, the only support being pro-
vided by the second pole piece Of the
magnet, to which 1t adheres by mag
netic attraction.

KNIVES AND FORKS

Custom reconciles US to everything
Edmund Burke.
DOR the family dinner table 1t used
= to be considered in perfectly good
taste to have the teaspoons placed in
what was known as spoon-holder,
and in many households this silver or
glass contraption still persists. But
there was a very good reason why 1t
went out of favor among more fastidi-
Gus folk. 1t was bound to collect dust
and, as it was left ON the sidebOard or
table between meals it offered very
poor harborage for the clean spoons.
So now we have our spoons kept with
the knives and forks between meals in
a closed drawer in the buffet or pantry,
and they are laid on the table, where
they will be most convenient when the
table is set just before each meal.
For the simple dinner it is possible
correctly to place all the silver on the
table for the entire meal, save posi-
bly the small coffee spoons, if that bev-
erage is served after the dessert. For
a longer, more elaborate dinner, only
the silver for the first three or four
courses is laid at the places at the be-
ginning Of the meal, as the entire set
would appear rather cumbersome, and
additional knives and forks are
brought in as the course is served. Be-
sides. it often happens that the hostess
really has not enough silver for a
many-coursed dinner for party of
dozen or more, and so this gives her an
opportunity to have the pieces used in
the first courses washed for use later
on in the meal.
1t is a general rule that forks are

Satisfactory Method
of Shielding Panels

Many methods Of shielding panels
have been tried, but the following
method has proved to be the most du-
rable, neat and equally effective to any
of the other methods tried.
The shielding must not touch any
of the apparatus in the circuit, with
the exception of the ground connec-
t;on. otherwise trouble may occur
from shorts and grounds. After drill
ing the panel for the various instru-
ments, paint around these holes with
molten paraffin; after the paraffin has
cooled it may he trimmed down so as
TO make the space around the holes
even and neat. After this has been
done paint the panel with aluminium,
silver or gold picture frame gliding.
After the first coat has dried thor
oughly, it is well to apply a second or
even a third coat, as the thicker the
shielding the more effective it will be
and the less resistance it will pass
on to the ground.
After the gliding has thoroughly
dried, the spots previously paraffined

THE CHINA LADY

IN THE toy shop a beautiful china
lady stood on the shelf. In one
arm she carried a bouquet of many
colored flowers and with the hand Oh
her other arm she daintily held her
prettily trimmed skirts ready to make
a curtsey.
China lady did not look so very
proud, but she was, for never once
did she deign to glance below her at
the toys on the floor.
Her pretty blue eyes were looking
straight ahead and all the floor toys
felt she would never look down to
notice them.
None of them cared very much
about this naughty lady's disdainful
air but little French Doll, her pretty
dark eyes flashed as she said to Teddy
Bear and small Rocking Horse, 'She

Amateur Can Build
This Loud Speaker

The accompanying diagram shows
type of loud speaker which may be
built by any amateur having a little
experience with tools and enough pa
thence to assemble 1t.
1t consists mainly Of a monograph
soundbox, upon which is fixed small
piece Of iron in place Of the needle.
In order to maintain this small plate
firmly, the needle support is cut with
hacksaw to provide slot into which
the small plate fits and is soldered.
The electrical part Of it consists Of a
magnet taken from an old 75-ohm tele-
phone receiver with one of the coils
wound with some number "a wire, the
whole winding having resistance Of
about 10 ohms. The mounting Of these
two units is clearly shown in the dia-
grams and needs no further explain
alton.
