Suppose you could stay one age

be? Would you like to go back to
irresponsible sixteen, or would you
prefer mature forty-five. The editor
of Good Housekeeping asked one
woman and she said thirty-five. He
asked another and she said twenty.
He asked Fannie Heaslip Lea and in
August Good Housekeeping she dis
cusses the Golden Age" She says:
ANY woman can stay sixteen that
wants to, for all of me! 1 think
it's a terrible age. think it's the
most unhappy age there is. There's
nothing you won't believe, at six

waiting to lie to you. Your happi-
ness is in the hands of almost any

SIMPLE ANTEMNA is
BEST FOR AMATEUR
Straight, Single Wire Type,
Placed High, Is Preferable
for the Receiving Set.

1t Is estimated that In one years
time from 100000 to 100000, new
radio receivers were installed in the
United States and from observation
II would appear that there were al
most as many different styles of an
tennae erected as there were sets
Installed. This, too, despite the fact
that the country was flooded with liter
AZURE telling each and every citizen
how to build his own set.
These cage, fiat-tOp, multi-wire, UNI
brella, etc, kinds of antenna were de-
signed primarily for their sending
characteristics. Remember that, in the
beginning of radio, the man who want
ed to hear wireless signals had to
know quite bit about practical radio.
He had to know the Continental and
Morse codes, and in addition to be
fairly decent sort Of mechanic. He
was, in short, the radio amateur, who
wanted to send as well as receive.
Therefore all this early literature was
for the man who wanted to send as
well as receive.
Since radiOphone broadcasting was
first started, there has grown up an
other army of radio enthusiasts,
greatly outnumbering the pioneer anna
teurs, who do not want to send at all,
but who do wish to receive. Therefore
much Of this early literature does not
apply, or more correctly, all of 1t does
not apply, to the new generation.
In building an antenna, remember
that nothing is more satisfactory for

wire antenna. as high in the air as II
can be placed, and about $50 feet long
An antenna of this sort, will give bet
| ter results, In most cases. than any
other sort 1t will take up less room,
and will not cut 80 heavily into the
owners finances.
The function Of the antenna for a
receiving set is to absorb the maxi
mum amount of energy radiated from
transmitter. This means that it
must be so built and placed as to be
as efficient as possible. The factors
governing the type Of aerial to be
erected are as follows:
Amount of space available.
The amount of money which is to
be spent.
The wave-length range which is to
be received.
The distance from which signals are
sent.
An aerial possesses both distributed
capacity and inductance, which COM
bined give 1t defined period Of oscil-
lation. These oscillations will set up
a wave motion the length of which Is
related to the capacity and inductance
by formula which can be closely ap-
proximated by multiplying the length
Of the antenna In feet. plus the length
Of the lead-in In feet, by 1.22. This
will give the fundamental wave length
Of the antenna.
No matter what kind of antenna Is
used 1t must always be remembered
that the lead-in should be as short and
as direct as possible. In other words.
don't use up any unnecessary energy

have the leadin consist Of as many
wires as are in the anteuna. These
wires should be wrapped together at
point few feet from the antenna and
brought into the receiving set as
cable. Where this cable passes through
the walls Of the building, 1t should be
insulated with porcelain tube or stand
ard electrose lead-in lnsulators.
Be careful to keep the lead-in as
far as possible from electric light
wires. telephone wires, etc. II this is
not done, an Objectionable 6O-cycle
hum may be heard In the phones,
caused by electric light Induction.
The ground connection should also
be as short and direct as possible.
Service water pipes or gas pipes make
excellent grounds, and should be used
in all cases where available. All con-
nections In the ground lead-in should
be soldered, especially the connection
to the actual ground pipe. If this Is
not done, the ground resistance will
so decrease the strength Of the re-
ceived signals as to make them almost |
inaudible.

Wet soils are cold soils and often sour

the wet soil about the roots Of the

tain weeds are difficult Of eradication

work the ground
None of the orchards set in the past
have long remained In good, thrifty
growing order when planted on poorly
drained SOIL So many we have
known to select q high clay spot on
the farm close to the residence for
their orchard and then get such poor
results many times because the soil
itself was wet and poorly drained
1t seems that surface drainage might
be sufficient In one way since no
water will stand on the surface about
the trees, but it Is that wet, clammy,
cold clay about the roots that absorbs
and holds the water which does the
damage. The Ideal orchard soil Is that
In which the water Is either moving
up or down every day in the year. In
wet weather the rain or melting snow

ground drains. In dry weather cap

reason the wet, undrained soil becomes
