TO have absorbed all the subsequent
honors, although Agape is occasionally
to be found in modern Greece, and
formed the masculine surname Agape-
tus, once the property Of pope, and
still used in Russia.
The name Irene was very frequent
among Greek expresses and belonged
to the lady who would fain have added
herself to the list of Charlemagne's
many wives. 1t is from her that the
Russians have 1t as Eereena, and in
the ancient Greek colony at Sorrento,
where the women's features strongly
recall their Hellenic descent, Irene is
one of the most popular baptismal
names
Irene's jewel is the jacinth, which is
commended especially to travellers,
since 1t insures its wearer from harm
and is said TO pale in color If danger
approaches. 1t is peculiar fact, but
one none the less vouched for by his
torical records, that no one wearing
a jacinth has ever been known to have
been struck by lightning. To dream
of the gem signifies success. Satur-
day is Irene's lucky day and 5 her
lucky number.
James Russell Lowell has written of
Irene:
Hers is spirit deep and crystal clear,
Calmly beneath her earnest face 1t

Free without boldness. meek without
a fear,
Quicker to look than speak it's SYM

The Days Test

Begin the morning by saying to thy
self shall meet this day with the busy
body, the ungrateful, the arrogant, de-
eeitful, envious, unsocial. All these
things happen to them by reason of
their ignorance Of what is good and
evil. But I who have seen the nature
Of the good that is beautiful, and of
the bad that is ugly, can neither be
injured by any of them-for no one
can fix on me what is ugly-nor can /
be angry with my neighbor, nor hate
him. We are made for cooperation
to act against one another, that Is con-
trary to nature, and it is acting against
one another to be vexed and turn
away.-Marcus Aurelius.

MIRRORS

HNE day the professor began to
" notice how many mirrors there
are in New York City, and how many
people make use of them. There was
drug store round the corner from
the professors home where, up above
the soda water fountain, hung a wide
glass. As young America drew In
orangeade through straw, or con-
sumed his raspberry crush, or her
chocolate fudge sundae, he might OBJ
serve the straight line of his part
she might see the most becoming angle
at which to hold her spoon.
Again, walking down the avenue,
the professor noticed that not all who
gazed in the plate glass fronts were
seeing merchandise. For furtively one
stout dowager would glance at the
long lines of her size-reducing drap-
cries. Another little, fantastic. bob
haired shop-roamer would flick out
her short skirts, peering back admir-
ingly over her shoulder at her refec-
ton. Or a mannish, superior lady
would linger until no one was In
sight, and then smile with approba-
ton at herself. The more expert, in
deed, might seem to look through

1t is often desirable when listening
for certain broadcasting station to
adjust your receiver to the proper
wave length before the Transmission
begins. Many experimenters also find
1t convenient to have their tuning con-
trolls calibrated in wave lengths. This
wayemeter can be used for this pur-
pose only with regenerative receivers.
With the usual single circuit tuner
the operation should make the de-
tector tube oscillate at approximately
the desired wave length. The wave
meter is then brought near the an
tenna tuning inductance and the con-
denser slowly rotated until a double
click is heard in the telephone re-
ceivers.
This click is due to sudden change
in current through the telephones.

of that employed on calipers and may
be applied to any large dial which
runs true and is accurately engraved.
Cut piece Of bakelite as shown in
the drawing. 1t should be as thick as
the edge of the dial and fit the curve
as closely as practicable. The curved
edge can be shaped on a small emery
wheel, and the straight edges cut with
a saw and smoothed with a file. The
ten divisions should be engraved with
sharp tool in the same space taken
by nine on the dial and filled with
white enamel. Accuracy is important
in this operation.
The scale is easily read by the fol-
lowing method: Take the dial reading
opposite the zero line of the vernier
just as If the zero line were the ordl-
nary arrow. Then note which line of
the scale is opposite a line of the dial.
The number above this vernier line is
the number of tenths of division.
For example, on the illustration the
reading is ola. Simple, isn't it? A
little study will show why this is so.-

WOMEN NEED SWAMP ROOT

Thousands of women have kidney and
bladder trouble and never suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy con-
dition they may cause the other organs
70 become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of
inhibition, nervousness are oftentimes
symptoms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. DR..
Kilmer's Swamp Root, a physicians pre-
scription, obtained at any drug store, may
be just the remedy needed to overcome
such conditions.
Get a medium or large size bottle imme-
diately from any drug store.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation, send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N Y, for .

while it proved very tiresome to hold
a single receiver to the ear, so de-
vised a headband which could be
made in few seconds and which adj
mirably accomplishes the purpose. The
illustration of this headband is prac-
ticaily self-explanatory and very little
need be said concerning its construc-
ton. About two and one-half feet of
No. 10 or II iron or stiff copper wire
is required and is bent into the shape
shown, by means of pliers. Two or
three of these headbands may be
made and used on occasions when
there are more listeners present than
head sets.

On the whole, decided the professor,

IRENE

DERHAPS the most disputed name
= in the lexicon of feminine proper
names, from the standpoint of pro-
nunciation, is Irene, signifying peace.
The accent Of the syllable has
changed within the past couple of
years, and the final &c" is now sounded
by the fashionable, who have adopted
the name.
The origin dates back to heather
days when Eireen, peace, was persona
fed and adored as a goddess. In
Christian times, when peace on earth
was preached she was formed into a
name which was known as Irene. The
first Irene of much fame was the

The twins had once told their story
to the boy and girl adventures, but
they wanted to tell it again, so when
the Fairy Queen went a-calling one
day she stopped to see them.
They had asked If she would come
to see them and they had sent their
message by Master Thoughtfulness.
They were not having quite such a
hard time as they once had had and
they were hoping before long to be
free.
They thought perhaps they could get
the Fairy Queen to send messages to
grown-ups for them, and SO they want
ed to see her and ask her about it.
They had heard from Master
Thoughtfulness how lovely she was
and they felt sure she would take their
messages for them.
She wandered along some distance
| until she found their house. 1t was
| so covered with these entangled,
snarled vines that she could hardly
see it at first.
Then she could discover from an
upper window two children who
looked almost exactly alike.

other, and one twin gave the other a

"Pm ready to help you. DEAR" the
other said. Don't be unkind to me.

The Fairy Queen thought the twins
seemed very strange. She didn't like
! the one whose voice sounded so sweet,
nor the one who had given the push.
| The latter seemed so cross and the
| former seemed much too sweet
But the Fairy Queen managed to

They looked nicer to her now.

In using compression type rheostats

There are two ways of eliminating

SO doing 1t is possible to use the
