Daily Letter by Frederic j. Haskin
THE WAY TO WEALTH
TOLD OF BY HASKIN

see the light burning in Ben Frank
ms shop. AS he began to take a
wider interest in public affairs, be-
coming public printer for P~ennsylva-
MIA and engaging in other public SER
vices he rented his shop to an asso-
ciate getting $3.50 a year for il, a
good sized sum in those days.
Only a short time after he had
established the print shop he found
ed a weekly publication, The Satur-
day Evening Post. This was founded
in 1927, one hundred and n~inety-ffve
years ago. 1t is the oldest important
publication but 1t had one predeces-
sor, the Maryland Gazette, edited by
william Green, at Annapolis in 1928.
Inc Maryland Gazette has had many
Vicissitudes, and, at times, nearly dis
appeared, but it still is being publish
ed in a small way, having combined
with a daily paper, the Annapolis
Evening Capital.
But Franklin's Saturday Evening
Post has retained its original identity
as a weekly publication and con-
tlnues to be published in Philadel-
phia, in offices on Independence
Square, a location which doubtless
highly pleases the shade Of Franklin.
In view of his tremendous contribu-
tons to the American independenee
after which the Square is named.
Hat 1t not been for Franklin and a
few others like him there would he
no Independence Square. Like the
printing office, Franklin's publication
has grown to a point now where II
prints almost as many copies as there
were people in this country in Frank
Inns time.
His Works Live After Him
The fact that these two business
enterprises of Franklin have survived
Tor two centuries doubtless is due in
part to the strong life he put into
them at their inception. He was 4,
good business man. Had he lived in
this day, he doubtless would be head
or some great Industrial enterprise.
BY the time he had reached the age
OF fifty, he was wealthy enough to
retire from active business and de-
vote his time wholly to the public
service. 1t took a better business
man to accomplish that in his dav
than 1t does in ours because oppor-
tunlty was so much smaller and dol.
iiaidCI To Il0Q.
In both his printing and his pub
llcation Franklin insisted on the
nlghest type of workmanship. In his
1ull life as a business man, inventor.
scientist, author. philanthropist. edu.
Gator, diplomat and political leader.
ne retained his special liking for the
printing trade, his first venture.
BOOK continued to absorb him until
ms last days and he, who had a
run right to attach many high-sound-
ing titles to his name and achieves
ments' remained content to call him
sell merely a printer.
How FAR he carried his preference
is nowhere better revealed than in
the epitaph on his tombstone which
he wrote himself. 1t reads:
The Body Of
Benjamin Franklin, Printer.
(Like the coyer of an old book:
It's contents worn out
And stript of its lettering and gildine)
Lies here, food for worms.
Yet the work itself shall not be lost.

Once more in a new
And more beautiful edition

II we ar to keep the faith of our fathers W cannot rest secure alone

upon a rational policy of national defense as the only means whereby we
can preserve the things for which we stand.

folly to permit the development Of militarmm in America. We only ask
the merest skeleton of an army, but it should always be alert, wide awake
and have sufficient officers.

the experience of the past and not indulge in day dreams. We have de-
cried miltarsm the world over. We do not want war, but complete dis

in a practical state of disarmament, and now only advocate a moderate
measure of preparation Is a national insurance. Any other view Of the
question is falacious, fatuous and foolish.

For longer wave lengths the bank

In a "duo-lateral" winding the con-
ductors in two successive layers are
not parallel as they are in the bank

angle. In our estimation basket
wound variometers with no shunted
capacity are most efficient for short

amount Of shunted capacity for tun-
Ing, are most efficient for long wave

RICE is GOOD FOR CHILDREN
Cooked in Milk, 1t Has Rich Flavor
and Is Particularly Nourishino-
Fine for Lunch.

Rice cooked in milk has a richer
flavor than when cooked In water,
and is particularly no%urishlng and
wholesome for children. AS a school
lunch dish the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture suggests that rice
may be served with tomato sauce and
grated cheese, as the main dish OF
the meal. or with maple strip or
crushed fresh fruit as dessert.
One cup of rice will absorb a quart
of milk when cooked slowly In a
double boiler. First wash the rice
thoroughly in several waters so as
to remove all loose starch, then drop
1t slowly into the hot milk, and add
one ~teaspoonful of salt for each cupful
of rice. Cook the rice until the grains
are soft when pressed between thumb
and finger, or for about thirty min
utes. Remove the lid of the double
boiler during the last part of the
cooking, SO hat the grains will sep
arate.

VARYING %INDUCTANCE
OF THE TUNING COIL
How Different Forms of Winding
Affect Reception of Long and
Short Waves.

Tuning inductances for radio re-
ceiving circuits are made in u variety
of forms. For short waves, the most
commonly used form Of inductance Is
the single layer solenoid, which Is
nothing more nor less than the com
mon tuning coil, consisting of a sim
gle layer of wire wound upon a
cylindrical form.
The method used to vary the in
dnctance of a tuning coil Is a slide
which gives single turn variations or
a switch which usually varies the in
ductance in groups of turns. For
very close tuning where even the
turn to turn variation is too coarse, a
series or shunt In the circuit Is nee
essary.
A closer variation of inductance can
be procured by splitting the number

down the coil and the total inductance
is decreased. Finally when the wind
ing on the inner cylinder Is exactly
under the winding on the outer cyl
inder, the inductance of n coil neu-
t~ralizes that of the other aud the re-
sultant indnctance, neglecting leakage,
Is zero.
A yariometer functions exactly rs
did the two coils shown in Fig. ..
In a yariometer, one coll rotates with
respect to the other instead of slid
ing in and out as was the case in
Fig. 2. If the windings Of a var
iometer are on a cylindrical surface
there will be a large amount of Leak
age, which decreases the ratio OF
maximum to minimum wave length
20 which the variometer will tune. A
variometer with windings on a spher-
ical surface and having a small me-
chanlcal clearance between rotor and
stator Will give minimum leakage.
There Is an excellent yariometer on
the market at the present time with a
so-called basket" winding. Not
only are the windlngs on a spherical
surface, but a cross-seetion of the
winding (see Fig. - Is such that
the distributed capacity Is reduced
to a minimum. This is accomplished
by separating adjacent turns and
crossing them at right angles.

Puppy love resulting in runaway high school boys and girls is not
so much the fault of the youngsters as it is of their parents. The home
is the place for teaching of sex matters, not the public schools. 1 don't
want an old maid to teach my children sex hygiene. In sex matters chill
dren must be treated as individuals. And they must be taught more by
example than by precept.
Young people become obsessed with false notions of love and married
life by means of certain movies and novels. The dances of society are
so suggestive that they affect their minds and habits Of thought But who,
primarily, ae to blame for the movies, the reading OF the novels, and the
suggestive dances? Not the children, but the parents who SET the standards
Of society. The SCI movies are not staged at the theaters because of the
demand made by the pupils Of our high schools, but by adults, that Is
by the parents.
The fallacy of teaching sex hygiene in the puMc schools, or in any
place except to individuals by the parents or some one interested and
competent, who has access TO the confidence of the child, is that the evils
of our day are not the result of Ignorance so much as the lack Of
character.
