popular with number of people of

Among the numbers by younger
pupils, that of Norma Benton, who
played a violin solo, Margaret Hill,
ut the piano, and Basil Williams
with the violin, were worthy of spe-
cial mention.
Unusual solos ON the trombone
cOrnet and baritone revealed inter.
csting possibilities of these instru.
ments, and were enthusiastically re-
ccived by the audience.
Difficult eonecrtos which show
cd remarkable technique IN the ex-
eeuticn of difficult passages were
given by Willis Carey and Lloyd
Wixom. on the violin, and Albert
neForc and Dennis Beck, on the
clarinet. Saxaphone, piano and VIC
lin solos made up the remainder of
the program, which reflected credit
on both the pupils and their instruc-

The class day exercises presented
by the high school seniors last night
kept a good sized audience laugh

day program consists of the class
prophecy, class will, and various
stunts and take-offs. For the class
prophecy, three of the class, John

Jacobs, had themselves meet in
Nome, Alaska, i'll 1888. Here, from
the bank of Il gold fish pond they re-
lated to each other the happenings
of their classmates of "a.
One of the most interesting num-
befs on the program was the take
off on the high school faculty meet
ing. The seniors didn t confine their
takc-offs to their elders alone,
though. In their "Follies o. %
pa the juniors cracked their sides
laughing at how their play, " Mr..
Bob might have been. In depict
ing the operetta, "Onee in Blue
Moon,' the seniors portrayed the
moon as being made of cheese
the performance; even the audience
got few of the crackers. The
audience liked the crackers, but best
of all it liked the takc-off on the
play which the seniors had given
themselves. 1.-The Amazons In
the real play the Amazons are
three maumsh young women. In
the take-off, these leads were three
young fellows whose Papa had
brought them up as girls. The out

but :. good deal more amusing.

AFTER rendition of such decision

alien land law of 1920 by making
it unlawful for such an alien to cul-

tuition forbids the amendment of an
initiative act except to carry out
the declared purposes of the initla-

Unique Bits From

Upon many hats one sees in Paris
an edging of tulle, which gives a
soft, halo effect. A modification
of the tricornc often has this tulle
edge and the severe outlines are
further mitigated by big fioppy
ribbon bow.
Sweaters are not only knitted in
faneiful patterns now. The are
also hand embroidered. A sweater
in beige, done in several kinds of
stitch, has an embroidered medal
lion in deep blues just below the
V neck.
Drecoll makes a striking, batton-
up-the-front gown. for street wear
which may be open to show Il white

through the fabric of this black OF
toman silk froek, which makes it
unusual.

MTG. And MTG not only knows his
Great White Way. He also knows
folks. That's why he knew the dairy
man out in Wisconsin would get a
tremendous kick when he heard sharp
in his ear, the voice of MTG saying
''hello folks! Who do you think just
walked in? -Four Ziegfeld beauties
all dressed up in golden curls and cute
little eton jackets, right from the
chorus Of Kid Boots. One Of them says
she's only 16, but we know better. She
couldn't be that wise at 16--not and
live in Brooklyn. But which one will
you hear from first-a blonde or a
brunette?s
The girls do their stunt and then
MTG says IF you liked the girls, let
us hear from you. Sure you got their

The tube best suited for this set. i:
has been found. is the UV20l-A. with
a sx-volt storage A battery or 4 dry
cells in series. A UV199 tube might
work Just as well, with a tap off the
second cell Of the 6-volt A battery.
The Il battery voltage may vary
from 4J TO 30 and even more.
Ncihoh Of Operation.
To operate the set, first adjust the
crystal detcctor by setting both dia,s
at the same point and moving the
detector control until strong click
is heard.
Slowly turn both dials. ut about
the same positions. until station IS
heard. Then turn the grid variable
condenser for stronger response and
manipulate the crystal for better re-
ception.
Keep record Of the dial markings
and the stations heard, to make tun-
ing in easier later on.
Clarity and selectirity depend on
proper crystal adjustment.

Most Out of One Tube
BY ISRAEL KLEIN

To get most out of single tube,
try the single tube reflex. receiver.
Here. with the use OF a crystal de.
tector and the vacuum tube amplifie:,
stations up to 800 miles can be
brought in on a loud speaker. Even
greater distances can be obtained with
the phones.
Use of a crystal rcctification in this
connection has proved TO be clearer
than the vacuum tube. because of its
freedom from oscillation and the elm
ination of the bowling and squealing
We get in regenara.ive receivers.
The parts for this set consist of:
audio-frequency transformer ratio
IL 10 1
= radio-frequency transformers, for
reflexing
/ tube socket
l rheostat
> variable condenscrs, - plate
phone jack
rubberized panel (about S inches
by 10 inches)
wood base
binding posts
Bus wire.
Thus. without the tube, batterie.
and phone or loud speaker, the set
should cost not more than $50.
Transformers Bought or Made.
The radio transformers may b?
either made or bought. If bought
care should be taken that they are for
reflexing. A kind that can he attach.
ed to the variable ccndcnsers can now
be bought. The first transformer, at
the left, is made as follows:
Get two formica cylinder form
1-16 inch thick. . inches long AMI
5-S inches in diameter. Drill two
small mounting holes on each form.
one hole on top and one on bottor,.
by which the form. when completed.
can be attached TO the condenser.
Four more holes are drilled in eact.
form. for the terminals. which may
consist of switch points clamped
down inside by hexagonal nuts. Ter.
minals l and 3 are on top: = and 4
below. Two small holes are also made
for the wire to pass through. Thes =
are near terminals | and 3.
Solder end of wire 10 terminal 2
and wind 60 turns of 2S single cotton
single silk. or double cotton. wire
evenly and tightly AMI solder other
end TO terminal 4. Wrap 1-inch
strip of emnire cloth around this
winding. and then wind the primar-
winding on this. 1t consists of II
turns. in the same direction rs the
larger secondary winding. The h.
ginning is soldered TO terminal No. l
and the end 10 No. >.
Care in Mountiup
The second radio frequency trans
former is wound like the first. except
that the top winding or primary coil
consists of 35 turns.
BE, careful also thet =, the, second
transformer is mounted at right
angles TO the. first. and thot both sets
of transformers and condensers are
placed TT opposite ends of the panel.
in order TO reduce any inductiye eff
feet upon each other TO a minimum.
The audio-frequcncy transformer
should be placed at the back of the
vacuum tube and cross-wise. with
the grid terminal near the left radio
frequency transformer and the platc
terminal the other way. This makes
each lesd as short as possible.
