Thin Circular Band Of White
Gold Correct Now 70 IndI-
cate Welded State

Even rings are subject to the pre-.
yailing fashion. Not many years ago
rs heavy solid gold ring. was the
correct thing to indicate the married
state Of the wearer: today this lit
lie band il Of white gold and - as
narrow as possible.
Speakig Of rings for the married,
1t Is said that Pope Innocent the
Third was the first who ordained
the celebration Of marriage in the
church: before which, Il was totally
q civil contract. But the ring was
used in connection with marriage be-
fore Catholic times. The Greeks
had It. The Romans employed the
ring. according to Juvenal. There
was commonly feast on the sign
ing Of the marriage contract, and
the man gave the woman ring by
way Of pledge, which she put upon
her left hand, on the finger next to
the least. because Of the suggested
nerve running to the heart. The
ring was generally Of iron, though
sometimes Of copper and brass, with
little knobs In the form Of e key. to
represent that the wife had posses.
sion Of the husbands keys.
One OF the prettiest tokens Of
friendship and affection Is what Is
termed a stGfmmal" or "Gimmow"
ring II IL Of French origin. This
ring 10 constructed Of twin or double
hoops, which play within one an
other, like the links Of q chain.
Each hoop has one Of its sides fiat
and the other covex, and each IL
twisted once round and surmounted
with an emblem or motto. The
course Of the twist IN each hoop is
made to correspond with that Of its
counterpart, so that, on bringing to-
gether the HAT surfaces Of the
hoops, these Immediately unite In
one ring. The lover putting his
finger through one OF the hoops and
his mistress hers through the other.
were thus symbolically yolxed to-
gether; a yoke which neither could
be said wholly to wear, one-l1alf be-
ing allotted to the other: and MAX
Ing. as it has been quantity said. a
joint tenancy.
There Is no evidence that the ring
was used by the Egyptians at q
marriage. On the authority OF q
text in Exodus, wedding rings are
attempted to be carried as far back
as the Hebrews. Leo. Of Modena,
however, maintains that they did
not use any nuptial ring. Selden
owns that they gave q ring In mar.
riage, but that It was in lieu Of =
piece Of money OF the same value
which had before been presented. 1t
probably was ring money or money
In the shape Of q ring.
The Copts have q custom OF be-
trothing girls ct Sin or seven years
OF age. which Is done by putting
ring upon their finger; but permits
sion is afterwards obtained for her
friends to educate her until she ar.
riyes at years Of discretion.

That the new President Il .

CIRCUIT SOLVES
MANY RADIO
PR0BLE|N|S
Roy weagant HooIup Would
Be More Widely Used
If Known

When the regeneratiye circuit
was developed an objection to plac.
ing the plate battery and phones IN
the high frequency circuit was
raised by engineers, who claimed
the efficiency was lowered as q
result Of this connection. The nrob.
lem Of maintaining the feed back
effect OF the circuit with the
phones and battery out Of ii was
solved by Roy Weagant, an eu.
gineer engaged in high power radio
telegraph work. The circuit bear.
Ing his name became standard for
long distance commercial comrnuni.
cation. but It has not been adopted
widely by broadcast fans because
1t has not come to their attention.
Those fans who have given the
circuit q trial are enthusiasts IN
Its praise and many have used II
Tor years to the exclusion OF all
others.
Method Of Connection.
It win be seen from an inspection
OF the diagram that the phones and
plate battery are connected to the
tube as In q regenerative circuit.
The plate Of the tube is coupled
to the grid coil through linking
inductance which completes its cir.
cult through variable condenser
to the filament, In this way the
audio plate current can flow with.
out setting up strong fields, which
occur when the plate coil Is n
series with It. The variable con,
densor tunes the plate coil to re.
sonance az the other condenser
tunes the secondary.
When the detector filament Il
burned at q low temperature. the
feed back dial controls this circuit
with pure resonance effect. but
when the tube Is turned up too
bright II operates more like the
honeycomb coll ticker.
An extremely. powerful feed back
anplification can be obtained with
this circuit without danger OF its
oscillating, because the tuning con.
denser can be brought UP to the
exact capacity value needed to bro
vide the necessary current path at
the same time linIitig any excess.
The two dials tune alike, so that
It Is easy to find station and re.
turn to Il at another time. The
secondary condenser also may be
used to find a station keeping the
plate condenser at q minimum until
the signal Is located. However, the
operator will find q tuning system
himself which best suits his indi-
vidual needs.
