Drills Used I'm Radio Work. Part

Generally it is difficult to say who
makes the worse job of building a
radio set-a radio engineer who
knows the theory of radio from A to
u. but who has little, If any, mechan-
ical ability, or the mechanical man
who knows next to nothing about the
theory of radio. but who knows how
to handle his tools. Both are at a
decided disadvantage.
When, however. co.plete panel lay
outs of parts and p-by-step in
structions for wiring are given, the
mechanical man usually makes a
better looking and more efficient re-
ceiver than the theoretical man, be-
cause his ability to use tools and
follow directions naturally results in
the construction of set which is
built according to specifications
instruction I'm Use of Tools.
This series of articles is therefore
intended to give the average man,
who does not have a good knowledge
of tools and how to use them, a good
idea of the way in which the most
necessary tools should be used.
In constructing a radio receiver it
is practically always necessary to

use some size or type of drill to make
the holes in the panel to hold the
parts in place.
To most men a drill is "A drill. re-
gardless of the type and size. To the
mechanic who wants to make good
have a very definite meaning.
The various types of drills are gem
orally classified according to size of
drill stock and type of shank. The
shank of the drill is the rear portion
or the part which is held in the jaws
of the drill press chuck or holder.
Figures ] and are the type known
as straight shank drills. Figure !
shows the ordinary types of wire
sized drills. These are numbered
sizes, and run from size /. whose
diameter is .22S of an inch, to size
so, whose diameter is Obs OF an
inch. The common sizes used are
Nos. l to 60. The No. 60 size is .04O
of an inch in diameter.
There are other methods of desig-
mating drill sizes for diameters diff
ferent than those covered by the num-
Der sizes. Where the units of meas
metric system the sizes of drills for
that class of work are given in terms
of milIimetcrs. These sizes run from
.5 milimeters to 13 millimeters. The
mails of an inch is from approx
mately .0197 to .511S inch
Another range OF sizes is desig-
mated by the letters of the alphabet,
ranging from A to Il. The size range
of these drills is from .23i of an
inch for size a to Alb for size u.
Still another method of designating
drill sizes is by means of fractions of
an inch. Drills of this class range
from 1-S2 of an inch to inches and
over.
Drills Do Not Vary.
The number and letter sized drills
do not vary in equal steps one from
the other. That is, each progressive
size does not vary from the previous
one by a definite amount The varia-
tion from size to size is more or less
arbitrarily chosen for convenience.
In the millimeter and fraction-of-an-
inch sizes, however, each size differs
from the next one by a definite
amount In the millimeter sizes this
difference is usually II a mi1limeter.
In the fraction -ofan-inch sizes pro-
gress in steps of 1854 Of an inch.
Generally the size of the drill is
stamped on the shank. Through con-
stant usage, however, the number or
letter is scraped off, so that it is
practically impossible to determine
the size of the drill.
If a micrometer is at hand, the size
can be found by taking the diameter

ENTHUSIASM
By DIR. JOHN w. LAIRD
Director of Research
The Palas Royal Incorporated

Inc PGld1S ROy1, incorporated
A great philosopher once remarked
that the emotions are the material out of
which the intellect is evolved. He
might have simply said that ENTHUSI-
ASM is essential to the best kind of
thinking.
Thinking, warmed by ENTHUSI-
ASM, is essential to success not only in
athletics, but in business as we'll.
1t is quite impossible these days to walk
through The Palais Royal without sens
ing the spirit of ENTHUSIASM that per-
vades the entire store, from the newest
salesperson who only few days ago
learned for the first time how to make out
asales check, to the most experienced ex-
ecutive connected with the business. The
reasons are obvious.
First of all the May Sale, which closes
today at 6 O'Clock, has been a marked
success. Failure is not the creator of EN-
THUSIASM. 1t takes some measure of
success to inspire and sustain ENIHUSl-
ASM. The total sales for the first Six
days of the May Sale surpassed the CORE
spending days of the May Sale of year
ago by IS per cent. We are quite likely
to be enthusiastic over a task that is being
we'll done.
Another reason for the ENTHUSIASM
found at The Palais Royal is the transpar-
ent evidence Of vitality and vision in the
new program by the store
ParadoxiCal as it may be, the only way
to be as good as the past is to be better.
The Palais Royal has had very worthy
past, and yet everyone connected with
the store knows that the best is yet to be.
Better service, better merchandise, bet
ter adaptation to the growing needs of the
publiC-thiS is the program that is giving
the spirit of romance to the daily task of
selling merchandise at The Palais Royal.
We seldom become enthusiastic over
anything static. Even May Sale with all
it's meritOriOus attractions would not be
sufficient to create the atmosphere of EN-
THUSIASM that one finds at The PalaiS
Royal. The personnel of the store knows
that the executive force will endeavor to
make the store, every day in the year,
worthy of the appreciation, confidence
and patronage of the people of Wash
ingtOn.
Like begets like, ENTHUSIASM be-
gets ENTHUSIASM. This is law that
runs clear through life. Because of this
law the public is daily increasing its ap-
probation of the service rendered by The
Palas Royal.

ped During Spring

Sumter county sweet potato
growers who expect to ship, sell
or give away sweet potato plants
next spring, must have their tub
ers inspected before bedding, ac-
cording to a letter received today
by George o. Marshall, from jeff
Chafin, chief inspector of the Geor-
gia State Board of Entomology. In
this letter, which has just been
formally approved by Ira W. Will
liams, state entomologist it is stat
ed that "all potatoes must be dip
ped ten minutes in a corrosive
sublimate (bi-chloride) solution at
the strength of l to 1000 before
bedding. This treatment costs very
little, does not injure the potatoes
and at the same time insures you
against several sweet potato dis
eases. No certificate tags will be is
sued next spring unless the tubers
have been treated before bedding. "
The corrosive sublimate (bi-chlo-
ride) can be purchased from any
drug store or secured thru the IT.

TURN HAIR DARK
WITH SAGE TEA.
=
If Mixed with Sulphur 1t Darkens
SO Naturally Nobody
Can Tell

The old-time mixture OF Sage Tea
and Sulphur for darkening gray,
strcaked and faded hair is grandmoth-
er's recipe, and folks are again using it
to keep their hair a good, even color,
which is quite sensible, as we are liv-
ing in an age when youthful appear
ance is of the greatest advantage
Nowadays, though, we don't have the
troublesome task OF gathering the sage
and the mussy mixing at home. All
drug stores sell the ready-to-use prod
uct, improved by the addition Of other
ingredients, called "Wyeths Sage and
Sulphur Compound" 1t is very popu-
lar because nobody can discover it has
been applied Simply moisten your
comb or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one small
stand at a time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, but what delights the
ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound, is that, besides beautifully
darkening the hair after a few applca-
tions, it also produces that soft lustre
and appearance of abundance which IS
SO attractive.
