Provide Protection
for Thin Filaments

The radiophan IS apt to experience
disappointment when he finds that the
high voltage leads from the B battery
have been accidentally connected
across the filament posts of his receiv-
er and one or more tubes are burned
out. Although the normal life of the
average filament is considerably more
than 1000 hours, it requires but an in
slant to destroy this delicate filament
when excessive voltages are applied to
its terminals.
When filaments are sh ,rted across a
90, 40 or 60-volt battery in new condi-
tion. the turnout requires but frac-
ton of a second, and unless the user
happens to be inspecting the tube at
the instant of the flash, the damage
would not be discovered until the set
was used again. 1t is very easy mat
Ter to protect tube filaments by either
of the following means:
Insert a 100-ohm (nOninductive) re
sistance for each 22-volt block or b
battery in the circuit next to the posi-
tive terminal of the b battery. This
resistance may be left permanently in

THE HAND OF A SUCCESSFUL
ACTOR

NATURALLY, as in all other walks
~ of life, it is well for the comedian
to have a good line of fortune, start
ing from the end of the line of life
or near it, and running up to or into
the finger of Apollo, the ring finger
When there is a well-marked line Of
fate, it shows a man or woman who
must depend for his or her success in
life on winning and holding the tickle
favor of the public. The line of fate
has its rise in the mount Of the moon,
near the wrist, and runs to the finger
of Saturn, the middle finger. Craft
fed ambition may be read in star.
we'll marked, on the mount of Jupiter,
which is the mount at the base of the
finger of Jupiter, the first or index
finger.
In some hands, the line of the heart,
which lies above the line of the head
in the palm, ends at the percussion, or
near it, in many small branches.
When these show a tendency toward
running up TO the finger of Mercury,
we may read therein wit, humor,
gayety and versatility; qualities need
ed greatly by the successful comedian
of either sex.

ADELAIDE

. DELAIDE has an heroic signifi-
"A canoe; it means noble cheer. Ii
is distinctly Teutonic name, coming
from Adilo or OdilO. Ado and Aouo
are still in use as proper names, put
other syllables have been added Tor
the more modern version.
Curiously, Adele and Adela occur
very early in history, unli-e most
names, which show quaint and some
times almost unacceptable forms in
their beginnings. Adal was prefix
used frequently among the Teutonic
races and Adalheit or Adelchen were
diminutives given to the daughters OF
the family. 1t was translated to mean
"noble estate" and thus the princess
of each little Frankish duchy was the
"nobleness thereof"
All the feudal princes of the Tenth
and Eleventh centuries seem to have
had an Adelheid to offer in marriage
and they have Latinized her in all
manner of ways. The French have
made great use of all forms Of the
name. The Teutonic races, In honor
perhaps of the Italian Queen Adelaide,
whose adventures, before her mar
riage with Emperor Ohio, were so
curious-preferred Adelaide to all
other forms. From them England re-
ceiyed it again with their good Queen
Adelaide, whose popularity made it
so freauent. Italy calls her Adalaida
and Alisa, and France makes her AIDE
line
Adelaide's jewel is the turquoise.

A FEELING OF SECURITY

You naturally feel secure when you
know that the medicine you are about to
take is absolutely pure and contains no
harmful or habit producing drugs.
Such medicine is Dr. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, kidney, liver and bladder remedy.
The same standard of purity, strength
and excellence is maintained in every bot
tie of Swamp-Root.
It is scientifically compounded from
vegetable herbs.
1t is not a stimulant and is taken in
teaspoonful doses.
1t is not recommended for everything.
1t is natures great helper in relieving
and overcoming kidney, liver and bladder
troubles.
A sworn statement of purity is with
every bottle of DIR. Kilmer's Swamp
Root.
If you need a medicine, you should
have the best. On sale at all drug stores
in bottles of two sizes, medium and large.
However, if you wish first to try this
great preparation send ten cents to Dr..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for
sample bottle. When writing be- sure
and mention this observation-disclosures.

The statOr and rotor are pieces of

board boxes. These pieces should be
given one or two coats of shellac be-

wire and the secondary, of 40 turns.
The shaft is a A-inch round brass
rod bought in a 10-cent store. If this
is not obtainable, a round lead pencil
will work as well. Pieces A, e and
base B are of wood preferably hard
woody 1a-inch thick. 1t is well
when making piece E to leave it about
one-half inch longer than necessary
and then drill a hole for the shaft.
The ends are cut off evenly coming
from the edge of the shaft hole. This
will insure true running rotor. This
piece is fastened and placed with glue.

fit close in the notch in the bracket,

Flexible leads from the primary and
secondary coils are led to their re-
spectiye terminals in the receiving set
or connected to four small binding
posts mounted on the rear of the base.
Taps may be taken off the primary
coil at the most convenient positions.
This variocoupler has been built at
the cost of few cents and has given
as good results as any on the market.

STRANGER EVENT HIS WAY"
Bibulous Individual Probably Was
Close to Making the Mistake
of His Life.

During the latter years of his life,
Frank James, brother Of Jesse James,
did his utmost to avoid disputes that
might lead to physical combat, the
Kansas City Star says. Frank James,
for many years, could be seen almost
any day lettering in the lobby of the
Laclede hotel, st. Louis, which was
a gathering place of Missouri politi-
clans before they moved over to the
old Planters hotel.
One day Frank James was engaged
in conversation by a bibulous, loud
talking stranger. The man INDUCED In
a TRADE against Missouri, mentioning
the flames boys" as samples of her
citizenship. When the stranger con-
Guided an ominous silence fell over the
crowd.
II am Frank James," came slowly
in reply. 81 know of no way to keep
a buzzard from flying over<my head
but l do know how to keep them from
roosting in my hair"
Witnesses recall that the stranger,
greatly sobered, tarried no longer than
the speed limit would permit.
