lei to the horizontal diameter of the
coils. A No. 8 brass rod was threaded
on both ends, one end passing through
the panel with knob on it. A half
inch square brass post WAS mounted
near the coils to act as supporting
bearings. Set screws were placed
through the tops of these posts so that
n slight pressure from them would be
| sufficient to hold the coils in any posi-
ton. AS these coils are not varied
much there will be little wear on the
shaft.
Flexible leads are used to connect
leads are provided SO that the 'B" bat
terry may be mounted directly inside
the cabinet.
The cabinet must be made large
enough to allow sufficient space for the
coils to swing.
The variable condensers are each %
plates. which will give wave-length
range of from about 200 to 800 meters.
The panel should be shielded and the
shield grounded to the ground binding
post. The coupling control shafts are
| also grounded to this shield. The
shield may be of tinfoil.
This Is an excellent receiver for the
broadcast fan who is troubled with in
reference from various sources. Any
degree of coupling may be had by
varying the distance between the pri-
| mary and secondary. For instance. II
interference is experienced, the pri-
mary Is turned away from the second
ary bit and the condensers retuned
to the wave length to make up for the
change in adjustment, and In all proba-
bility the interference will have disap-
peared.
This set was used with WD-11 tube
with 221s volts on the plate and an
antenna rs feet long. Being only ten
miles from New York and only three
miles from Newark, no difficulty was
experienced In picking out certain

and the extra one. The primary is
best loaded by 50turn coil, tapped
every ten.
8. Lighthouse set-Insert a 50-turn
coil In series with the antenna.
1t should be understood that 1t is
impossible to state exactly how much
loading is required In the antenna cir
cult OF any set, since SO much depends
upon the size of the aerial itself.
Where series condenser is used, the
loading coil should be of such proper
tions that WEAF on 1872 meters is
brought in at nearly full scale, giving
sufficient leeway to reach WIP and
WOO on 500 meters. Load coils may
be honeycomb coils, or may be wound
on 3h Inch tube Of approximately
the same number Of turns. For those
In doubt, the best solution Is ~ con-
struct a loading coil of about so turns
with tap at every ten. and then try
them all until the series condenser coy-
ers the range as 1t should.

and which makes use Of standard
circuit. Low construction cost has
also been taken into consideration.
The approximate list of material
needed for the set is as follows:
1 6x15-inch panel.
9-inch deep cabinet.
2 23-plate var. cond.
n pound No. "a sec wire.
16 inch No. 8 round brass rod.
2 knobs and pointers.
2 3-incf dials.
1 rheostat with knob.
socket.
l grid leak condenser.
! phone condenser.
9 binding posts.
Bus-bar wire, nuts, washers, bolts,
etc.
Tube. "A" and "B" battery.
As will be seen by the diagram, Fig
ure l, the circuit Is the standard three
coil honeycomb, but uses spiderweb coils
instead. The forms for winding these
coils are cut from stiff cardboard 4
inches in diameter, into which are cut
nine slots equally spaced and lh
inches deep. This leaves enough
space in the center to place the mount
ing and also for the binding posts.
See Figure 2.
Into these slots Is wound, zig-zng-
glng, No. "a S. c. C. wire as follows:
Primary 65 turns, secondary 30 turns
and ticker 80 turns. No taps are
taken, as tuning is done by variable
condensers.
The secondary coil Is mounted sta
tionary, in an upright position on a
block of wood and the primary and
tickIer coils on either side mounted on
a special adjustable mounting so that
the coupling may be varied. An idea
of how this was done will be gained
from the sketch, Figure 2.
A wooden block was mounted on the
primary and tickler coils at 45-degree
angle and a hole drilled through, pnral-

Every housekeeper is familiar with
the sudden and unexpected need for an
addition to the menu, either to fill out
a meager supply Of other foods or to
take care of extra persons by making
everything so little farther. A very
good way to accomplish this last end
Is to have an appetizing and filling
soup, so that by serving slightly small
er portions of meats and vegetables,
another plate may be filled. An ac-
ceptable emergency soup Of this kind
can be made of materials usually on
hand, taking only as long to prepare as
sliced potatoes require for cooking
about Is minutes. 1t will also supply
additional meat and vegetables. The
recipe has been tested by the United
States Department of Agriculture.
To serve six people peel and cut up
in small pieces two medium-sized po-
tatoes and start them cooking in one
quart Of boiling salted water. Mean
time fry two thin slices OF bacon crisp !;
take them out of the pan, and in the
same fat cook slowly two tablespoon
fuls of minced onion for fve minutes,
or until tender. When the potatoes
are done. take them out of the water
and mash them, use some OF the
mashed potato to blend with the bacon
fat and onion, gradually adding all Of
1t, and finally the wnter in which the
potatoes were cooked. Cut the bacon
into very small pieces. add It to the
soup. Season with pepper and add a
tablespoonful Of minced parsley II de
sired, though this is not absolutely
necessary.
Celery, tomato. or small portions Of
any cooked vegetable that happen to
be on hand may be added to the foun-
daton II mixed vegetable soup is
desired, hut the bacon and potato soup
Is appetizing without other favor.

Denomination Club
Make Horsehide Coat

An excellent coat was recently made
of horsehide by a member of home
demonstration club in Oklahoma, ac-
cording to report received by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. All the members of the club con-
suited and planned with her when the
coat was cut out, 80 that her work was
valuable demonstration to all the
members
When cutting out the coat she first
laid the pattern down on the outside
of the skin SO as to be able to tell
how the hair lay and make 1t all go
in one direction. When the pattern
had been Married at the corners with
coarse needles she turned the inside
up to do the cutting A sharp razor
was used for cutting the skin, as scis-
sors will cut the hair. A fve-inch
border of skin was used on the bot
tom. The hair ra7 differently on this
strip and the color varied slightly so
that, with a turn-back collar and lapels
Of the fur, the coat. which she con-
sidered worth at least $50. was very
attractive. Tie expense for tanning
was SO, and there was a slight expense
for sateen lining.
Veal, lamb. and goat skins can be
made into very useful, attractive, and
marketable articles. Veal or cowhide
tanned smooth without the hair is
made up effectively into coats or
sleeveless jumpers with hats to match.

Some Good Cures for
Wave Length Troubles

Once a receiving set has been prop
erly loaded, there will be little diffl'
Guilty in receiving an OF the stations on
their new wave lengths. although at
present some are experiencing dlfii'
Guilty in getting those stations working
on waves higher than 403 meters. The
following tabulation Is presented as
guide, and the schemes suggested are
suitable for sets using the average size
of single-wre aerial, varying between
70 and 125 feet in length, including the
leud-in. The recommended methods
follow:
/, Standard regenerative.-If the
primary has at least so turns, no load
Ing is needed. Shunt the secondary cir
cult, including both grid varomeier and
the secondary of the coupler, by a COOS
MID. variable condenser Insert n 80
turn ii. c. coil or similar load coil In
series with the plate variometer.
9 Single-circuit regenerative with
vnriometer and .OO05 variable con-
denser.-Londing Is seldom required.
II WIZ on 455 is found with condenser
mt full scale, 35-turn coil In series
with antcnna is sufficient. Tickler need
not be loaded.
g. Single-circuit rexcneratlve set
with .OOO5 variable condenser and va
o-coupler.-Insert 35 turn coil in
series with antenna.
4. Cockaday circuit.-No loading re-
quired, since maximum wave is about
900 meters.
5. Perfect" Set-1nsert 5O-turn II.
G. coil in series with antenna, keeping
other tuning controls the same, or sub
stitute 75-turn coil for the 50-turn coil
in use.
6. DX-Flcx circuit.-Prlmary need
not be touched II 1t has at least 60
turns. Secondary should have 60
turns. If less than 60. 1t should be
loaded accordingly. BE sure the load
Ing coil Is placed within the variable
condenser connections, so that the load
roll really has the effect OF increasing
the size Of the rotor.
7. Reinartz clrcuit.-Insert in grid
coil 35-turn II. c. or similar coll for
loading. In one design an extra tap
was provided for this purpose and the
toll goes between the last used tap

local station and entirely excluding the
others. Also, while the local stations
were still going, the following other
stations were tuned in and the locals
entirely excluded:
WAX Cleveland, o.
WGY Schenectady, N. Y.
KDkA Pittsburgh, Pa.
WIFI Philadelphia. Pa.
WDAP Chicago. ILL.,, and others.
1t will be interesting to note that the
coupling between the primary and sec
ondary and between the secondary and
ticker were left at about As degrees
during these tests and tuning done
only with the two condensers, the
coupling being varied only slightly oc-
casionally to clear up speech or stop
oscillation Of the tube.-New York
