cleats into system of paneling. To
bring out the points where strength
was needed the remainder were omit
ted. The cleat passing under the front
have its upper side rounded to fit this
bend, and should be glued and screwed
in place. Where cleats are added, they
must be on the outside, to give clear
passage for the sound.
The four pieces Of the horn are
fastened together after bending and
drying, with small nails and glue. The
joints in the straight section of the
horn can be strengthened by the addi-
ton Of triangular blocks, glued in the
| corners. A small brass bracket can
be placed under the cleats at the large
end of the horn to hold the joint to-
gether If necessary. The lower end Of
the horn should be squared off, and Is
fastened to the base by four triangular
wooden blocks mitered around the
lower end Of the horn. These blocks
should be screwed and glued to the
horn, and then fastened to the base
board in a like manner, making very
rigid joint.
The remainder of the base is put to-
gether with round-head screws and
has no complicated details, being only
simple wooden box, made of one
half-inch stock, while the bottom or
base board is made of three-quarter-
inch stock. A small hole is drilled in
one side for the phone cord to pass, or.
if desired, pair of binding posts can
be placed on the top of the base.
Gives Clear Reception.
/ have found this loud speaker to
give much clearer reception, when
handling strong signals, than any
other phone / was able to get. 1t is
particularly desirable to have a clear
phone, if voice, such as radio scr
mon, is being reproduced, and in this
case this loud speaker is fine, for a
talk to an audience.
The finish of the piece can be of
any desired color or nature. 1t Is well
to give the inside of the horn several
coats of good varnish to produce a
clear, smooth surface for the sound to
travel over.
1t might be well to bring ont the
principle involved in loud-speaking
receiver or any horn. There is no
application in the horn. The horn
serves as the connecting link between
the small volume of air, which vi
brates with the receiver diaphragm.
and the outside air of the room. Any
increase of sound. which might seem
to the layman as amplified in the horn,
is only the result of better connec-
ton, through the horn, between the
small volume of air in the receiver and
that in the room.

IMPROVED
ROADS
Location of Highway Is
Most Important Matter

Much is now being said and written
in regard to good roads. Some one
has said 1t Is very serious question
for the people In every section of the
country to consider. That is my senti-
ment also, says writer in an ex-
change. Whatever kind of material is
used in the construction Of the road,
be 1t concrete, brick or sand and
gravel, It is being built with a view
for all time to come, therefore the To-
cation of the road is very important
matter to be considered. Are we GO
ing to follow the old trail that our
forefathers blazed for themselves
through the forest which now looks,
since the timber has been taken of,
like cowpath angling through the
farm? The traveller is bewildered to
know what direction he is going.
No, let the roads now be located on
section and half-section lines when 1t
is possible to do so. Even If 1t costs
more 1t will pay for several reasons.
It viii add so much TO the looks of the
farm and country. 1t will avoid much
danger from automobile traffic which
is on the increase every year. 1t is
easier to construct road on straight
line than on curve. And last but not
least we are building new roads for
the future. Some day farms viii be
made into smaller tracts with the
roads located on section lines and they
will then he easy of acpasS
Let us consider well the future Inn
portance of the location of the road
before we commence building for 1t
will mean much to us now and the fu-
ture generations. II good roads mean
so much to the country let US make
them as straight as possible, eliminat-
ing short curves and sharp corners
and we will have a road easy to follow
with less danger.

Guilty is that sockets or adapters are
not easily obtained.
Since the prongs of the WD11 tube
are not all the same size, nor do they
have the same relative connections as
the other tubes. as shown in Fig. /, the
making of a socket is more practicable
and less difficult than an adapter,
which requires the base of burned
out tube.
Take a piece of hard rubber or other
insulating material inches by ga
inches. or the exact size of the socket
you wish to replace, if you want to sub
stitute in a set already made. Using
the standard socket for pattern drill
four holes for the fastening screws.
Then instead of spring contacts for
the prongs, take thin sheet copper, or,
better still, phosphor bronze strips, and
roll three of these strips an inch long
around 6-penny nail and one around
a 20-penny spike. These tubes should
fit the prongs snugly. Insert these
four cylindrical tubes into the holes
drilled at the proper places as shown
in Fig. 2. Solder piece of insulated
wire to each of the tubes, under the
hard rubber base and connect to proper
binding post as in Fig. 2. This gives
a receptacle for the WD11 tube. which
can be used in new set or which will
replace any standard socket without
change in wiring.

Graduate Nurse Finds
"The Perfect Remedy

"From my long experience as pro
fessional nurse, do not hesitate to
say Tanlac is natures most perfect
remedy" is the far-reaching statement
given out for publication, recently, by
Mrs. l. A. Borden, 425 Pontius Ave-,
Seattle, Wash, a graduate Of the Ma
tional Temperance Hospital, Chicago.
II have used Tanlac exclusively for
seven years in the treatment Of my
charity patients" said Mrs. Borden,
"and my experience has been that for
keeping the stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels functioning properly and for
toning up the system in general, it has
no equal.

"About year ago I had lady pa
tent who could not keep thing on
her stomach, not even water. pre-
vailed on her to try Tanlac and after
the sixth bottle she could eat absolute
ly anything she wanted without the
slightest bad after-effects.
Il had another patient who simply
could not eat. 1 got him started on
Tanlac and by the time he finished
three bottles he was eating rayenous-
" and able to work.
AThese two instances are typical Of
the wonderful merits Of the medicine.
My confidence in Tanlac is unlimited"
Tanlac is for sale by all good drug

Construction Of the Horn.

The feature hardest to construct is
the bending of the front and back
panels at the horn. The proper way
to do this is to boil the parts to be
bent in water for several hours and
then bend them over form, on which
they are dllowed to dry. Much of the
tendency to spring out of shape is
eliminated by this method Of bending.
