apples, oranges. figs and prunes are
concentrated and combined with
topics in such manner that the

RADIO IN THE FARM HOME

The number of radio receiving out
fits now in use in farm homes
amounts to hundreds of thousands.
Market reports and weather reports
are received daily over the radio at
stated hours. In the evenings the
same little instrument brings to the
farmer and his family political dis
cussions, concerts and lectures and
on Sundays sermons and good
church music.
Most of the luXuries purchased by
the farmer are paid for dearly but
this need not be the case with the
radio. More than half, perhaps two
thirds, of the receiving outfits now
in use in the cities and in the coun-
try have been constructed by school
boys. We have heard Of one teacher
in a rural high school who organized
class in radio at the beginning OF
the last school year with the result
that there are now SO radio receiv-
ing sets in successful operation in
that community, all having been
built by the students, not one Of the
outfits costing over $40 for mater
ial.
Any boy on the farm who desires
to build a receiving set may get full
instructions from two or three Bur-
eaus of Standards Circulars on Ra-
diotelegraphy. Write to Superinten-
dent of Documents, Government
Printing Office, Washington, D. c.

VT has been wittily remarked that q

 cap, and still look gentleman. This. of course, is humorous exaggerA- tion, However. it is undeniable that the needless, haphazard wearing of . cap at the wrong time in the wrong place has served to detract from the vogue of this really spruce and sports manlike headcovering Caps belong to the field, the country, the deck, the smoking car and the motor car.

 of the man who doesn't know how to dress and whose ignorance or indiffer- ence conduces to knock perfectly good fashion in the head.
 Nowadays a cap pairs off with knick- CTS. 1t seldom looks well with trousers. The cap formerly in fashion had broad spread of crown and an elongated peak. The newer caps are trimmer and smaller of visor and, for that reason, are more becoming to the average man.
 Like most hats, the cap has 1atterly undergone process of ventilation to render it more percolable on the famil- jar theory that air benefits the hair. Numerous types of such caps are pro- curable ventilated either through the crown or around the brim. One of these is shown above. It also illustrates the
