A Halo Versus a Square Deal

n 1xhAo CNSuS u oQuAEC 4JC0A
Over in England a gentleman who
Is the head of an organization of
school-masters is getting all excited
over what he calls the "spinster
evil."
We've heard quite a lot, about the
divorce evil, the child labor evil, the
bootlegging evil and a lot of other
kinds of iniquitous affairs, but the
spinsters we know are pretty far re-
mote from all that sort of thing.
Here is what the supper-peda-
gogue says:
'4The feminist movement is de-
flected into new channel" says he.
This is the spinster movement--an
embittered and dangerous one.
MANY of its advocates are not so
young as they were and their advo-
cacy is not weakened by undue maid
enly scrupulousness. The leaders are
able. educated, not unsophisticated
and they know their immediate OBJ
jectives.
''They pity. rather than honor the
married woman and regard her as
one to be rescued by their good OFF,
GERS. These spinster feminists are
striving to transfer the halo that be-
longs to the mother and child and
that is dangerous"
Let's look into this halo business,
as 1t Is on this side of the water, ait
any rate. The infant mortality rate
In this country is so great that the
United States OF America ranks sew
enth in the list. Recent legislation
more specifically known as the Shep-
parry Towner act is expected to rem
edy this situation TO some extent by
providing both Federal and State aid
to mothers and babies.
Women's organizations throughout
the country endorsed it of course,
and no doubt. the major portion of
that membership was composed of
mothers.
But who did most of the hard
work in Washington and State CAPT.
tails convincing stubborn legislators
that the measure was a necessity
Who are carrying out is provisions in
the several states and administering
the relief it affords?
Who are teaching many OF these
mothers how to rear those children
In accord with decent standards?
In every movement looking to-
ward making life a little bit more
bearable, you'll usually find an up
and-coming spinster as the MOVING
force behind it.
What the average mother need:
today is a square deal, not haol, and
the spinster is her greatest ally in
attaining 1t.

UNsoLvED RADIO MYSTERIES.

Radio presents more mysteries than any other science. Of these. H. Gernsback, noted science writer, points to four outstanding phenom- ena that are still unsolved.
 1. Fading-the dying out of con- cert for no apparent reason. . 2. Dead Spots-areas in which certain transmitted signals cannot be heard.
 5. Crystal Records-records of 500 to l,000 miles in reception made by crystal sets which ordinarily cannot receive more than 25 miles.

 Thus, without the tube, batteries and phone or loud speaker. the set should cost not more than sS0.
 Transformers.
 The radio transformers may be either made or bought. If bought. care should be taken that they are for refexing. A kind that can be attached 10 the variable rondensers can now be bought. The first trans former, at the left, is made as fol- lows:
 Oct two formica cylinder forms lis inch thick, inches long and 5-s inches in diameter. Drill two small mounting holes on each form. one hole on top and one on bottom. by which the form, when completed. can be attached to the condenser.
 Four more holes are drilled in each form, for the terminals. which may consist Of switch points clamped down inside by heNagonial nuts Ter minals ] and are on top; and below. Two small holes arc also made for the wire 10 pass through. These are near terminals 1 and 2.

BY ISRAEL KLEIN. NEA Service Writer.

To get most out of a single tube, try the single tube reflex receiver. Here, with the use of crystal detec- tor and the vacuum tube ampliiier, stations lip to 500 miles can be brought in on loud speaker. Even farther distances can be obtained with the phones.
 Use of a crystal for rectification in this connection has proved to he clearer than the vacuum tube, be cause of it's freedom from oscillation and the elimination of the bowling and squealing we get in rcgenerative receivers.
 The parts for this set consist of:
 audio-frequency transformer, ra- tion 1-2 to 1.
 radio frequency transformer for reflexing.
 i tube socket.
 1 rheostat.
 variable condensers, ?5 plate.
 phone jack.

cause this helps 10 cut down the capacity between the grid and plate of tho tube.
 Another help for better reception is the use Of thin sheet Of copper 10 back up the front panel. It eliin- inatos body capacity and docs away with much unnecessary wiring. If this is done, be sure 10 keep it from short circuiting the condenser shafts, and attach all ground and negative X battery connections directly 10 it.
 Extreme care should be taken in wiring Joints should be soldored carefully. Leads should be as short as possible. But all corners Of the wiring should be at right angles.
 The crystal detector may be any kind on the market, or one you can easily make yourself.
 The tube best suited for this set. it has been found, is the UN20i-A, with a six-volt storage A battery or dry cells in series. A Urlea tube might work just as well, with a tap of the second cell Of the 6-yot \ battery.
 Tho F battery voltage may vary from i5 to % and even more.
 Operation.
 To operate the set. first adjust the crystal datector by setting both dials ai the same point and moving ihe detoctor control until a strong click is heard.
 Slowly turn both diais. at about fhe same positions. until station is heard. Then turn the grid variable condenser for stronger response and manipulate the crystal Tor better re- cep'ion.
 Keep A record Of he dial markings and tho stations heard. 10 make tuH- ing iu easier later on.
 Clarity and selcctiv.ty depend on proper crystal adjustment.
