Flower Beds of Brick

Small ornamental flower beds pre-
pared by amateur gardeners often fall
to develop satisfaction because Of the
come, according to the Popular Sci
ence Monthly, by laying floor or base
Of ordinary building bricks and cir
cVlar retaining wall of bricks. The
bricks are not laid In mortar, but are
placed as close together as possible.
The circular wall is made Of single
bricks placed on eEa..
These brick beds retain the rich soil
and also absorb vast quantities Of
water, which is given back gradually
to the flowers.

Any Fabric Good
in Proper Place
When Making Purchase
Consider Service Which
Is Expected. .1

Almost every fabric Is Zine one,r =
Il you find Its special function, ad.
v1ses an authority. That means that
you can consider no cloth as being OF
specific worth. for Its value is always
relative, dependent on the use to which
you intend to put 1t. Therefore, In
buying piece of goods. you must take
into account Its particular use.
Consider tarlatan. Here IL q hne
netlike material, admirably adapted to
certain purposes for which coarser
material would NOT be appropriate. Yet
tariafan Is not strong, and does not
launder well; so 1t would be, you see
utterly untitled for articles whose
worth depends solely upon durability
The wise shopper, then. does not over
look tarlatan when she is looking for
loosely constructed cloth for fancy
dress costumes and some decorative
purposes, but she is content to leave
It alone in the province for which its
manufacturer designed it, and 30 II
spared the failure awaiting her II che
tries to draft it into fields in which II
was never intended to serve.
Or take the warm. knitted, wool
sweater, so desirable for indoor use
and Tor general wear In damp climates
Even Its warmth" Is relative, for well
you know that 1t would be a wrap in
name only for cold. windy ride in the
codhtry.
To expect satin dress to wear well
on country tramps would be foolish. So
In making every purchase the shopper
must consider the purpose for which
she wants it. One material may give
excellent service in an afternoon
gown, but it would be. very poor
buy" for travelling or street wear.
1t is not necessary always to insist
on the all-wool-and-a-yard-w quail.
ity Of goods for winter clothing, which
some women feel obliged to get. Some
Of the less expensive cotton and wool
mixtures are in many cases Just what
you want for certain purposes. Cloth

~ than silk would alone.
No one denies that in some cases
cotton is to be preferred to linen, be.
ing much like linen in appearance
costing less and yet giving good serv
Ice. On the other hand, cotton is never
so satisfactory for towels. handker
chiefs, or dresser scarfs, for linen ab
serbs moisture quicker and dries more
rapidly; union of cotton and linen IN
towels will give better service than
all cotton.
A soft-finished. loosely woven silk
like charmeuse or messaline, will not
crack or split as quickly ~ taffetai
and other hard-fnished silks will. But
loosely woven silks are not suitable
for gowns of tight-fittins styles, since
such silks are likely to slip at the

KEEPING WELL.
THE HUMAN
. MACHINE.
DR. FREDDRIOlx n. 0nDnN
Editor Of "AEALTHn

THE human. body is machine. In
l order to get the best results. 1t
must be used intelligently.
human being is like an automo-
bile. One has ffty-horse-powsr en-
gine; another has forty horsepower
and another only twenty-horse-p power.
You don't expect a Ford and Rolls
Royce to work the same under the
same conditions. Each one can do its
best and give the greatest amount Of
power only II intelligently used.
Posture has much to do with the
effective working of the human body.
II the body il properly developed, If
the parts are all in balance. II there is
no undue strain on any part. II the
spinal column is held erect, and the
chest carried high, then the heart will
be strong and steady, the breathing
will be easy. and the full power Of
the body will be developed.
II the abdominal organs are properly
supported and work with the least
friction, digestion and nutrition will be
good. But II the body drops and
bulses In the middle, Il the shoulders
sag. and the chest IL contracted, II
the heart and lungs are interfered
with, then the amount Of power de-
veloped is diminished, the whole body
suffers and susceptibility to disease
is increased.
If the chest IL dattsned 80 that the
heart and the lungs cannot work prop
erly. then the abdomen Ii telescoped
and the stomach and intestines are
crowded together. Indigestion and
constipation result. This means alb
sorption Of poisons from the intes-
tines and may cause serious and in
curable disease Of the heart and blood
vessels.
Health II that condition Of the body
in which the greatest possible eff
cheney, the full horse power Of the ma
chine is developed. If the engine is
defective, II the cylinders are full of
carbon. II the fuel II not properly con-
sumed, II the drafts are not properly
regulated and II the ashes and cinders
are not removed. then you cannot re-
main healthy.
The position most favorable for
health and efncient work is that In
which the body IL in the position Of
greatest ease and erectness-
whether sitting or standing. sit or
stand a. tall as possible. Straighten
up your spinal column, throw back
your shoulders, inhate your lungs.
draw In your abdomen. and hold your
sslf 70 that the body can work easily
and effectively.

NO NTRICACIES IN ATWATER- R-KENT Easy To Get Any Station Desired With This
 Outfit

Interest in radio is growing apace, according to dealers handling Atwater- Kent equipment, and many new sets were installed in Birmingham last week. In explaining the merits of the Atwater- Kent line, Ed Henley. of Bir- mingham Electric Battery Company, state distributors, remarked that the outstanding feature was the simplicity of this equipment. Tt is much easier to pick out the station and the class of entertainment you desire on the At water-Kent radio set, than it is to choose record. put in new needle and wind up the phonograph and of course the variety is infinitely greater. Sometimes only one point will separate one station from the other so that one may shift from New York to the Pa cific coast with slight move. There is nothing intricate or complicated about the Atwater-Kent and the novice has no trouble in getting anything he desires. The programs are printed in the Age-Herald every day and list ener can pick out the station and the concert he wants to hear from the pa per and easily tune in with the Atwater-
 Kent"

WILL BE FEATURE DE RADIO WEEK. NOVEMBER A TO 30.
Sixty-One Countries To Participate In Interna-
 tiOnal Venture

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-Esperantists in all parts of the world are planning to hold worldwide communication by radio, during the forthcoming Interna- tiona1 Radio week November 24-30) according to an announcement made today at the offices of Radio Broad- cast" the magazine arranging the tests. Miss E. J. Merriam, secretary of the Esperanto Association of North Amer ica, with headquarters in Boston, is authority for the statement that ten American and Canadian stations so far have agreed to allow time on the air so that Esperantists may send greet ings ot fellow members of this inter- national language society.
 "Esperantists in 61 countries will listen for greetings from America" said Miss Merriam. Arrangements are also being made so that foreign stations will send out programs for the benefit of Esperantists in America. Ten min- ute talks are being prepared by mem- bers of the society and we in America can confidently look forward to hearing from members in all parts of the world.
 Great impetus has been given the use of Esperanto since the advent of radio. Indeed, radio has made of the world an open forum for all national ities, and Esperanto is the common key by which all may participate. Only re- gently a resolution recommending it's international use by radio was adopted by the League of Nations. We there fore look forward to International Radio Week as an epoch-making period in the history of the world, period that means the beginning of the end of international misunderstanding caused by the limitations of national tongues"

and when the lamp is not in use the thimble cap is placed over the wick. Resin soldering Aux has made many a fan tear his hair out because it is q hard proposition for a beginner to use, and generally develops sticky mess. The jewellers soldering salts, the con tainer of which is also shown in Fig. 2, is a very simple and highly satis- factory soldering Aux when mixed with plain water Git comes packed dry.)
 Mix a pint of solution, then pour a small quantity in an empty drawing ink bottle and use the special stopper cork to place drop on the work to be soldered.
 There are many pases on the market that also make for neat work and these, or salts, are far better than rosin core solder.
 Fig. illustrates very poor method of bringing out the lads from the rotor. It will be noticed that the wire con stantly twist up against the sharp edge of the shaft tubing and after time the insulator is worn off and noisy signals result. The B battery and the vacuum tube have been blamed for this many, many times. A much better way of bringing out the connections is shown in Fig 3. This happens to be a 1S0 degree coupler, but the arrangement is very goood. The better method is the split shaft type, and the ''pig-tail' con nections.
 Condensers frequently cause trouble because they develop loose bearings and many other disorders, aside from an electrical standpoint. For instance, Zig. 3 the pressure sprnig on the rear plate works losoe and causes weak signals and peculiar tuning.
 Dirt and dust will collect in between the plates of cOndensers and teh easiest way to remove this is to swab it out with a pipe cleaner dipped in alcohol and followed by dry cleaning. Do this periodically and the set will keep top notch. If your loud speaker unit squaks, perhaps the units is chattering, and this can be smoothed out if you will place small piece of beeswax on the diaphgragm just at he point there the connecting link comes through. Next heat q small soldering iron over the little alcohol lamp and quickly touch the wax, allowing it to run in under the link. You will find tha it now gives smooth tone and the rattle has vanished. Don't use big soldering iron as this causes the heat to spread into the permanent magnets which in turn has very damaging effect on the mag
 netism.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-11-02
FOR THE NOTEROOK

A loop antenna picks up only one per cent of the energy received on the average aerial.
 The most useful pliers for building receiving sets are the small roundnose type, with cutting jaws.
 The proper way to use solder is 10 first make the joint as tight as possible, and then use a minimum of solder to hold the joint together.
 When building receiving set, it is best to first obtain the necessary parts and from the dimensions of these units lay out the panel and baseboard.
 For the loud speaker horn made of wood or papier-mache gives pprer tone than metal one, which is liable to pro- duce brassy oyertones or vibrations.
 In arranging the aerial and ground binding posts on the panel of a set do not place them too close together. Get them at least three inches apart if possible.
 The positive side of battery is that from which current flows to the external circuit. Negative is the return circuit to the battery. This applies only in di- rect current.
 The bare copper wire aerial which has been erected for some time should be replaced with new wire. Because of the clements, it corrodes, and is less efficient for reception.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-11-02

The time to start trouble shooting is not after you have completed the wiring of an entire set. A better idea is to check each piece of apparatus be- fore it is connected in the circuit, and on some occasions before you buy, writes Herbert E. Hayden in the Radio Word
 Most wiring jobs call for careful sol dering and this seems to be frequeE- obstacle.
 An electric soldering iron is good, but not necessary. The size of the iron is very important. For radio construc tiion it is not possible to use No. size, as the nature of the work makes it necessary frequently to work in small spaces where the heat of a bigiron causes annoyance. Therefore, do not buy an iron with a tip as big as the one shown in Fig. and expect to sol der it between the springs of jock. It is a better plan to buy regular" sol dering irons, purchasing several sizes, starting with the little jewellers iron as shown over the alcohol lamp in Fig ure 2.
 The alcohol lamp will deliver very hot flame, just enough to heat the iron,
