The more juice that can be kept
within the limits of the crust, the
better the pie. Tastes differ us to the
seasoning of cherry pie. Sugar to
taste, bit of butter and the delight
full flavor of the cherry itself is the
way most cooks prepare this dessert.
The cherries are pitted and juice and
all poured into the crust, adding a
tablespoonful or two of flour to slight
ly thicken the juice. There are sew
eral methods of keeping the pie from
boiling over and wasting its juice.
One is to use paper funnel made of
n piece of rolled writing paper, thrust
into the opening in the top of the pie !;
another and better way is to bind the
edge of the pie with a two-inch strip
of old muslin, wrung from cold water
This makes a good seal and II re-
moved as soon as the pie is taken
from the oven will come off without
marrine the crust.
Spiced Cherries.-Spiced cherries
are delicacy which add to any
menu. The proportions are the same
used for any spiced fruit: seven
tablespoonfuls each of stick cinnamon
and whole cloves tied In n small bag
and cooked for few minutes In a
pint of vinegar, then all cooked to-
gether for an hour and n half very
slowly, stirring often to keep them
from burning.
For those who enjoy the fresh fruit,
pit the cherries and add an equal
measure of sugar, stir until the sugar
Is well dissolved. then can in small
cans and set in the back part of the
ice chest.
Cherry olIves.-Fill jars with fine
fruit on the stem, fresh and unbruised;
fill the jar with strong vinegar and
waer in equal parts; add a tablespoon
full of salt to quart jar and seal.
These are delicious to serve in win
ter with meats.
Chocolate MIX Shake.-1n tall
glass put two tablespoonfuls IF finely
shaved ice and three tablespoonfuls of
chocolate sirup. Add slowly two
thirds of cupful of milk, stirring un-
til smooth. Top with spoonful of ice
cream or whipped cream.

Ways of Hooking Up
Variable Condensers

Almost every radio set has varia-
BILE condenser in the circuit some
where. The position of the condenser
depends upon the work il is to do OF
course, by that it is meant what part
of the circuit It Is TO tune, as the only
use of a variable condenser, outside of
using 1t occasionally for bypass con-
denser, is to tune some part of SET.
If a condenser is to be used in the
primary circuit it is used TO tune the
primary coil. For local stations it is
advisable to use as little capacity as
possible and as much inducfance as
possible in order to make the set more
selective for local reception
But for distant stations it is best to
use more capacity and less inductance.
The reason for this is that by lessen
ing the amount Of inductance some of
the resistance in the circuit is removed
and by using more capacity its signals
viii be slightly stronger, due to the
fact that the condenser viii act as a
sort of a stopping device. which VIII
hold the signals hack until they can
build up enough to pass the condenser.

Use Efficient Coils
for Every Circuit

When winding coils for use in any
circuit there are some points that
should be considered In construction
if efficient operation is expected. The
main point is TO reduce the resistance
of the winding in order that the signals
may be louder.
The points where the coil obtains
resistance are not In the wire itself,
that is IL fairly large wire is used, but
in the mounting and the position II
is inadvisable to use a single circuit
tuner because the high resistance OF
the aerial is then put into the second
airy coil Spider-web and self-support-
ing coils are more efficient than those
wound on form.
Do not use shellac on the coils; this
increases the distributed capacity of
the coil greatly and distributed ca
pacity is a great detriment If 1t Is
found necessary TO use some form of
dope on the coils, dissolve some cell
luIoid in amylacetate. Using this COM
pound, the electrical qualities of the
coil will not be affected in any way.
To avoid one of the greatest losses Ii
is advisable to eliminate taps on the
coils. Use low loss condensers TO tune
the circuits.

Antenna and Lead-In

Although many an antenna is fast
ened to the lead-in by a good old
fashioned wrap joint and concealed
from the eye by quarter-pound OF
bike tape, this scheme has its draw
backs, one being the expense, and an
other its unsightliness. Then one more
objection might be mentioned and that
Is the bad electrical joint resulting.
Don't use clip connectors or wrap
joints for antenna lead, because the

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 1t. 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
a 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
the movable coils and a set OF flexible
leads are provided so that the ''B" bat

the cabinet.
The cabinet must be made large
enough to allow sufficient space for the
coils to swing.

varying the distance between the pri-

solder the joint or make the aerial
and lead-in the same piece of wire.
This last is the best of all schemes,
and the sketch shows how it is done.
Just double the aerial wire back upon
itself at the point where 1t is to be
supported by the insulator, push the
loop thus made through the eye and
wrap the loop around the aerial and
lead-in wires securely. This both
holds the aerial firmly and makes a
solid electrical path without a break.

on waves higher than 405 meters. The
following tabulation is presented as
guide, and the schemes suggested are
suitable for sets using the average size
of single-wire aerial, varying between

follow:

not be touched if it has at least 60
turns. Secondary should have so

loaded accordingly. Be sure the load

condenser connections, so that the load
coil really has the effect of increasing
the size of the rotor
Z. Reinartz circuft.-Insert in grid
coil 35-turn FL. G. or similar coil for
loading. In one design an extra tap
was provided for this purpose and the
coil goes between the last used tap
and the extra one. The primary is
best loaded by 5Oturn coil, tapped
every ten.
8. Lighthouse set.-Insert a 5O-turn
coil In series with the antenna.
It 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 a series condenser is used. the
loading coil should be of such proper
tons that WEAF on 492 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 31a-inch tube of approximately
the same number of turns For those
in doubt. the best solution is fS con-
