neater and better insulated panel. At
the left Is the dial controlling the
variocoupler, while at the right is the
dial for the variable condenser. There
are two switches between the dials,
the upper one is for the coupler and
the lower one for the loading coil
Fig. 4 shows the arrangement of
the back of the panel, the way in
which the set is laid out. Since every
builder will use parts different in
size, no dimensions are given for the
panel or cabinet. This may be worked
out easily.
Operation Of the Set.
The next and very important point
to consider is that Of operating the set.
A good receiver is worth little to its
owner If he knows nothing about op-
Grating 1t. The kind of tubes (or
bulbs or audions or detectors) to use
with this set are the soft tubes. such
as the double fllament audlotrons, the
radiotrons and Moorhead electron re-
lay tubes. The last named tube is
the best, but 1t has a very critical
adjustment. The radiotron, while not
bringing in distant signals as well, is
easier to operate. When working a
set, always adjust the plate voltage
and filament rheostat carefully until
the set oscillates; this is indicated
when a click Is heard in the phones.
The oscillating of the set described in
this article is controlled by the dials
of the coupler and Of the variable con-
denser. Also, the operator will find
that the coupler has great effect on
the strength Of the received signals.
Success will be attained II the fore
going specifications are followed with
some degree Of care. On one tube DEB
Of Colorado, GEN Of California and
hundreds of eights have been heard
II two-step amplifier is added to this
set, It will bring in music which car
be heard at a great distance from the
4 phones.

FOR SOUTHERN
WEAR
BY Rita Stuyvesant-

"HIs is the season when the
smart set wend their way
southwark with beautiful
clothes for warm, sunny climates.
One may have fair idea OF what
will be worn during the early
summer months up here by OBJ
serving Just what pleases the
fancy Of the fashionable woman
going South.
There is a great demand for all
white costumes, which are beau
tiful and fattering.
White basket cloth makes an
excellent sports skirt, fringed at
the bottom, and Of the wrap
around model. With this is worn
a lightweight angora sweater,
with collar and cuffs OF fine
handkerchief and a soft but
rakish sports hat, pulled on at
jaunty angle.
Among the other clothes in all
white are stunning frocks Of soft
crepe silk for afternoon wear.
Long and draped models vie
with the shorter and more youth
full effects, and a happy medium
is introduced in the short frocks
with long drapery or panels.
Either one finds practically no
sleeve at all or a flowing sleeve
that reaches the wrist.
Lanvin green promises to be
extremely popular for early spring
and summer, and there are some
exquisite little frocks and dinner
gowns developed in this lovely
shade. A sport suit Of silk
eponge is shown in this color,
consisting of a circular skirt and
a short box jacket, with roll col
lar, lined in citron linen. The
jacket is piped with the citron
linen,
For dinner, who would not
look attractive in a soft chiffon
gown of Lanvin green with a
girdle Of rhinestones? The bodice
is made over a camisole of satin,
and is cut with oval neck, and
is entirely without sleeves. The
skirt is a full circular affair that
dips gracefully on each side,
hanging almost to the instep.
The rhinestone girdle is looped
about the figure and buckled at
the front.
