How the Low Resistance Rheostats Of

Tubes.

is simple way to do this without sub
shutting new rheostats, adding outside
resistances, or changing the appear
ance of the set.
Autobiography simplifying tubes
are not critical one control will, there
fore, do for both tubes.
Remove all connecting wires from
both rheostats except the current sup
ply wire to the first rheostat. Con-
meet the rheostats together as shown,
bridging across the adjacent posts with
bus wire or Uf more resistance Is want
ed than Is afforded by the combined
rheostats) with section of resist
ance wire from n discarded resist
ance unit. A connection is then run
from the remaining binding post Of
the Joined rheostats to each Of the
two sockets, taking the place of the
original connections.
The combined resistances Of the
rheostats will make the proper re-
sistance for two 201-A tubes when con-
nected in this manner, besides allow
ing ample variation, using either or
both knobs to secure briiliancy of the
filaments.

a moment or two, then carefully
remove it.
Many of the good hand.lotions,
such as the almond-honey prep
arations and glycersn mixed with
rose water and benzoin, are well
suited to cleanse and soften any
skin that is too sensitive to stand
cold cream.
Never leave cream or oily prep

only objection l have is the
kind of work he does. While

L can do: give up the young
man because his work though
honest is not agreeable to you;
try to persuade and help him to
find other work that you would
like better, provided he is suited
to any other kind OF work; and
marry him for what he is, glad
that he has work to do which
will insure an honest living for
you both.
The first course Of procedure
would be foolish since you are
fond of the young man 'and feel
you could be happy together;
the second is very well if it can

he can find another line of work
that will suit you both, ! sug-
gest that you follow my third
suggestion: Try to learn to APP

work as well as in him and
marry him and be happy--pro-
