Have Your Own Schedule
to Listen In on Radio

If you are radio fan, just how
much and how often you listen in de-
ponds on how long you've had your set.
If you acquired it only recently the
chances are that you can't hurry home
from business fast enough to get the
receivers on your ears and your fin
gers on the dials. On the other hand,
if you have had 1t long while it has
probably entered into your daily
scheme of things along with the other
essentials of modern life, and, as with
them, you take it in small doses.
How do you listen in? Do you put
on the receivers when you have the
time and take whatever happens to be
on at the moment, or do you select your
program early in the evening and then
arrange your other duties so that you
will be free when the particular num-
bers you desire to listen to are on the
air? The latter method is by far the
better, for then when you do listen in
you will have some assurance that the
number is something you want to hear.
One may use small memorandum
calendar and an alarm clock to keep

SUBSTITUTE FOR TUNGSTEN
Chromium May Be Used in Making
Filaments for lncandescent
Electric Globes.

One of the dazzling foundations of
the city of the New Jerusalem as
visioned by st. John on the Isle OF
Patmos was made of compound OF
the element, chromium. Another COM
pound of the same element may be
used to light the bungalows of the
future.
AS jacinth. chromium was priced by
oriental potentates as gem. In its
metallic form it may be employed by
Americans to read newspapers on
winter evenings.
DIR. Francis p. Venable of North
Carolina university says that, although
chromium is an unfamiliar element, it
is really widely distributed, and he
suggests that its properties favor its
use as substitute for tungsten in in
candescent electric light filaments.
Before that is done, however, the
chemist will have to learn how to re-
move the impurities from the metal
more readily.-Kansas City Star.

tender than usual, or it might be due
to the fact that this agent was young
and had a sort of wistful appeal about
her, or it might be because she was so
different from the others that had
come and lacked the amending flow OF
words they had all seemed to possess,
but whatever was the cause Bertha
Prescott did-an unheard of thing for
her-she invited the agent into the
house and actually asked her out into
the coy kitchen to have lunch with her.
"Poor DEAR" she was saying to her
self a few minutes later, "she must
have been actually hungry. And /
came very close TO not letting her in"
After lunch was finished Bertha
drew from the girl little of her story
illness, the loss of her position, and
finally her trying her hand at selling
books. Through it all Bertha could
see the brave spirit of the girl and the
untold hardships that she had endured
during the time since her illness. She
could also detect how near to despair
the little agent had been when she
came to her door.
Then Bertha Prescott did another I'M
heard Of thing for her-she told the
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1923-12-21

little agent of the loneliness in her
heart and of the little girl she had
lost in the long ago, and Of how emp
ty her life had been ever since. And
when she had finished she asked the
girl If she would not stay with her
through the Christmas time, and there
was a genuine appeal in her eyes and
in her voice as she did so.
And so, because the spirit of Christ
mas was abroad and made itself felt
those two lonely souls who needed
each other sorely were brought to-
gether and made happy, and when
Christmas had passed and gone they
found that their need of each other
was still great and the short visit
that the little agent was supposed to
make became permanent.

How to Lengthen Life
of Your B Batteries

The amount of service you will OBJ
tain from B battery depends to a
great extent on the care you give 1t.
The following pointers will assist in
securing the maximum number of
hours of useful life from the battery /:
Do not subject your B battery to
high temperatures. Handle it care
fully. You may ruin your B battery
by dropping it on the floor, as this
may break some of the internal con-
nections.
Do not short circuit your battery,
even momentarily. A short circuit of
only few moments duration will
drain considerable proportion of the
total energy out Of the B battery. For
this reason If you wish TO test the
battery use a high-grade voltmeter,
and never an ammeter. Volunteers
are high resistance instruments, and
give a good indication of the condi-
ton of the battery without drawing
excessive currents from 1t. Ammeters
are low resistance instruments, and
When placed across the terminals of
the battery practically short-circuit it.

Cheapest and Simplest
Regenerative Receiver

The novice is always on the look
out for simple and cheap receiving
set, which is efficient in operation.
Here is what is believed to be the best
in this respect ever described. For
the receiver the following parts are re-
CURED: One variometer; one 23-plate
variable condenser, with vernier; one
1k inch switch lever; two contact
points. The usual vacuum tube and its
accessories fill the rest of the bill.
With the usual amateur antenna, this
receiver will easily respond to trans
mitters operating on wave-lengths from
175 up to and including 500 meters.
The accompanying sketch explains how
II is done. First, single connections
are brought out from the two outside
windings of the variome.er, SO that
they can be brought out to the two

Obtain standard make of vari-

without disturbing the nodded wind

small holes drilled in the rotor form.

COFFEE ARRIVES BY WATER

Chicago.-The arrival recently of a
cargo of coffee at the Clark street
dock of Reid, Murdoch & Co., marked
the first Of such shipments coming to
Chicago by water from the South
American coffee plantations.
The firm purchased the coffee in
Colombia, transported it by mule to
Girardot and thence entirely by water
from this point in the interior of South
America to the heart of North Amer
lea where it was unloaded at the
docks of the company in Chicago.
This marks a distinct advance over
the former methods of transporting
coffee and has affected a material
saving in cost.
In the future practically all coffee
will be shipped to Chicago by water
from Colombia, said John MacMahon.
