SHEPHERD OF HILLS
STARS ". B. PATTON

w. B. Patton has been coming to
the western states so regularly and
has been so closely identified with
theatre life of some of its cities and
larger towns, that he seems like a ma
tive, so much so that his constantly
widening circle of friends and admir-
ers are more eager each year to
claim some share of him. Each seas
on Mr.. Patton comes here a bit far
Their along in his profession and a
bit more firmly established on the
path of theatrical eminence, to which
his droll comedy, fine personality and
quiet determination are steadily carry
ing him.
Perhaps the main reason for this
progress is the clarity with which this
peculiar comedian appraises his re-
sources and his cherishing no decisions
as to how far he has progressed as a
successful star. The consequence of
this practical and impartial self
judgment is that he attempts nothing
which he is not amply prepared to do,
and he knows exactly what he wants
to do, and how to do it.
Thus fortified, he contrives each
year to be seen in play little more
advanced than the proceeding one, to
do difficult things with an ease and
certainty that bespeak the real artist,
and give bit more delight to those
who hear his soft and compelling in
depreciation of those quaint charac-
tiers admirably suited to his genial
personality.
This season finds him in Harold
Bell Wright's master effort "The
Shepherd of The Hills, dramatized
by Mr.. Wright himself, with the as
sistance of E. F. Reynolds, and the
production is sponsored by and under
the personal direction of w. T. Gas
kell who has for many years gained
an envirable reputation for giving the
public the very best of good clean
plays, well known stars, selected casts,
and the most careful attention to pro-
duction detail. In fact his name and
attractions are standard trade mark
with managers and theatre circuits
throughout the United States.
1.-THE Shepherd Of the Hills" with
w. B. Patton will be seen here for
one performance Sunday, Nov. 80, at
the Grand.

STRONG CAST SHOWN
I'm ENEMY SEX FILM
Betty COmpsOn Featured In Principal
Feminine Role

"The Enemy Sex, James Cruze'
latest production for Paramount
which features Betty Compson, has
one of the strongest casts which has
ever been directed by the man who
made ''The Covered Wagon"
Betty Compson's role of "Dodo'
Baxter brings together an actress and
a part remarkably well suited to each
other. "Dodo" Baxter is a girl who
goes to New York armed with beauty
and wit. She disturbs the equanim-
ity of New York's smart set and
teaches a number of the male MEM
bers that money does not buy every
thing. The part is ideally suited to
Betty Compson. Contrasting with the
tragic character she portrayed in her
recent Joseph Henabery production
for Paramount, 'The Stranger" the
role she plays in "The Enemy Sex
is all merriment and fire.
The supporting cast is headed by
Perck Marmont, Kathlyn Williams.
Huntly Gordon and De Witt Jen-
nings.

this device, it is quite likely that the

continuously and will, at the same
time, supply very reasonable charge

three hours per week of charging with
the electric iron will suffice to keep

fighting nor killing, but much polite
ness, until at last the ship had full
cargo of silver, gold and gems, with
which she reached England, having
made a voyage round the world. When
Queen Elizabeth dined in state on
board brakes ship at Greenwich, she
struck him with a sword and dubbed
him knight. OF course he must have
armorial bearings now, but when he
adopted the three wiverns-black fowl
of sorts-of the Drake family, there
were angry protests against his In
science. So the queen made him a
coat-of-arms, a terrestrial globe, and
a ship thereon led with string by
hand that reached out of cloud, and
in the rigging Of the said ship, wiv-
ern hanged by the neck.
It was Parson Fletcher who wrote
the story of that illustrious voyage,
but he does not say how he himself
fell afterward from grace, being sol
EMMY consigned by Drake to the
devil and all his angells," threatened
with a hanging at the yard-arm, and
made to bear a posy on his breast with
these frank words, Francis Fletcher,
We falsest knave that liveth."
Drake always kept his chaplain, and
dined "alone with musick," did all his
public actions with large piety and
gallant courtesy, while he led Eng
fish fleets on insolent piracies against
the Spaniards.
From his next voyage he returned
leaving the Indies in flames, loaded
with plumber, and smoking the new
herb tobacco to the amazement of his
countrymen.
Philip II was preparing vast arma-
da against England, when Drake APP
peared with thirty sail on the Span
ish coast, destroyed hundred ships,
swept like a hurricane from port to
port, took a galleon laden with treasure
off the western islands, and returned
to Plymouth with his enormous plum
der.
Next year Drake was vice admiral
to Lord Howard in the destruction Of
the Spanish armada.
In 1889 he led a fleet to deliver
Portugal from the Spaniards. wherein
he failed.
Then came his last voyage in COM
pany with his first commander, Sir
John Hawkins Once more the West
Indies felt the awful weight of his
arm, but now there were varying for
tunes of defeat, of reprisals, and at
the end, pestilence, which struck the
feet at Nombre de Dios, and felled this
mighty seaman. His body was COM
mitted to the sea, his memory to the
hearts of all adventurous men.

C301A tubes are recommended for
this circuit and from 90 to 1876 volts Of
"B" battery will give the best results.
The set Is very selective and loud, but
it's best feature is Its unusual purity
Of tone. IT can be logged on Its two
dials and once a station Is registered
you can return to the same points on
the dials and get the station back
again.
For increased volume on signals re-

provide loud speaker volume on dis
tant stations. In adding this audio
amplification low ratio transformer
with ratio of about 31a to 1 should
be used.

Arrangement for
Charging Battery
Satisfactory Plan for Use
Where Direct Current Is
Available.

Where direct current Is available,
"a" batteries can be charged by the
following method: Fig. l will serve
arrangement as indicated, using a
wooden base four inches by eight
inches. The polarity of the battery
binding posts should be clearly marked
as explained later. The polarity of the
attachment plug need not be marked,
provided 1t is always attached to the
same socket and Is not reversible
plug Zone which can be plugged in
either of two directions). Such a
panel will conveniently hang on nail
and may be used continually wherever
and whenever table lamp, floor lamp,
vacuum cleaner or other device Is de-
sired.
The only precaution which must be
observed Is to determine the proper
polarity for the attachment plug, and
to see that this does not change when
the charger Is used In some other
location.
To determine the proper polarity
connect the circuit as Indicated In Fig.
1, with battery in place and lamp
as load, and turn on the current.
Note the brilliancy of the lamp. Now
turn off the current, reverse the bat
terry connection and turn on the cur
rent again. Note the brilliancy Of
the lamp. The connection giving the
darker lamp Is the correct connection.
The battery binding posts should now
be marked with proper polarity. II
the attachment plug is of the Edison
screw plug type, no difficulty will be
experienced In the future. However,

FRANCIS DRAKE
A. D. 1873

The Judith had escaped from San
Juan d'Ullua and her master, Francis
Drake, of Devon, was now bitter
vengeful adversary, from that time
onward living to be the scourge of
Spain. Four years he raided, plum
dered, burned along the Spanish main,
until the name Drake was changed to
Dragon in the language of the dons.
Then in 1873 he sailed from Plym-
outh with five little ships to carry fire
and sword into the South Seas, where
the flag of England had never been
before. When he had captured some
ships near the Cape de Verde islands,
waters before he sighted the Brazils,
then after long time came TO Magel-
lan's straits, where he put in to refresh
his men. One Of the captains had been
unfaithful and was now tried by
court-martial, which found him guilty
of mutiny and treason against the adj
miral. Drake offered him ship to
return to England and throw himself
on the queens mercy, or he might
land and take his chance among the
savages, or he could have his death,
and carry his case to the Almighty.
The prisoner would not rob the expedi-
ton of a ship, nor would he consort
with the degraded tribes of that wild
Land of Fire, but asked that he might
die at the hands of his countrymen
because of the wrong he had done
them. So the date was set for his ex-
ecuti0n, when all the officers received
the holy communion, the prisoner
kneeling beside the admiral. After
that they dined together for the last
time, and when they had risen from
table, shook hands at parting, the one
to his death, the others TO their voy-
age May England ever breed such
gentlemen!
The squadron had barely got clear
of the straits and gained the Pacific
ocean, when bad weather scattered all
the ships. Drake went on alone. and

'Scandalous" Applies to
Euerything in This ToIDn

Ours is a scandalous village, says l..
F. Ramsey in the London Mail. Oh,
don't mean what you mean by scan
dalous." In that respect our village is
probably no better and no worse than
any other village, including the little
village of London. By "scandalous" I
mean a variety. of things denoted by
the natives when they employ the
word.
The thatcher told us our cottage was
scandalous, because 1t had so many
gables. The ditcher said the brook
was scandaious because it was so full
of water. The baby's hair is scandal
Gus because it will keep on curling in
spite of repeated cuttings, though it is
time he looked like boy.
One of our most respected old In
habitants is known as "Old Scandal
ous," in spite of blameless life and
a popularity that extends from one
end of the village to the other. His
CHEEKY voice is heard greeting the
dawn while younger men are still be-
ing urged to rise from their beds, and
his figure sprints down the road at a
rate to be envied by some only half
his age If he knows how he came
by the nickname he cannot be induced
to tell.
If you want to know the original
meaning of a word you can generally
find it in the dialect of district.
Through centuries the meaning re-
mains unchanged. Thus a scandal"
was originally trap for catching wild
animals. 1t is easy to see how the
adjective, as used in our village, Is
appropriate.
The gables of our cottage are scan
dalous because they are traps for the
inexpert thatcher. The. overlooking
brook is full of traps for the unwary.
The baby's curls provide a trap for
the comb, as the wailings proceeding
from the cottage at hairdressing time
testify. As to "Old Scandalous," n
mischievous boy, fond of playing
tricks on people, would easily acquire
that name.
And the village? Why is that scam
dalous? Ask any motorist who has
ever visited it for the first time. Our
main road through the village has the
appearance of going on forever. But
is doesn't. 1t comes to sudden end

Ampli6cation Constant
Is an Important Factor

The application constant is one of
the most important factors of the
three-element vacuum tube. This con-
slant represents the maximum volt
age anfplification obtainable from the
tube and is also instrumental in deter
mining the current and power am
plification. 1t Is determined by the
construction of the tube. depending on
the mesh OF the grid, diameter of the
grid wire and the distance between
the grid and plate. It's value varies
slightly with changes in the plate volt
age, increasing as the plate voltage
is raised. Therefore, when operating
as detector, the amplification con-
slant of a tube is not as high as
when used as an ampli6er If the am
plihcation constant is 5, it must not
be assumed that the volume win be
five times as great; there are a num-
Der of factors that must be consid-
cred; but it will furnish an index of
the possibilities of the tube.

Tuning One Art That
Is Feature of Radio

When receiving radio signals of q
given wave length 1t is found that GER
tain combinations 6f inductances and
capacities give enormously greater re,
Spouse than others. When the strength
of the signals Is greatest the circuit
is in tune or in resonance with the In
coming wave length or frequency and
then only small impulse is required
to start large impulses in the circuit.
The process of bringing the circuit In
resonance with given wave length
is called tuning. 1t is accomplished
by either varying the capacity of the
condenser or the inductance Of the
coils which are in the circuit until they
bear the proper relation with the wave
length. If the inductance Is reduced
it is necessary to increase the capac-
ity. Similarly, If the capacity is re-
duced, it is necessary to increase the
inductance In the same proportion

a galleon at Santiago, laden with gold

all prepared for birds Of brakes feath-

The wise radio fan will not make
the mistake of trying to tighten small
screws with large screwdriver or
unloosen small nuts with entirely too
big wrench. In most cases If much
care is not exercised In tightening
small screws the heads will break off,
causing a considerable amount Of
really unnecessary trouble and annoy

wait until you have broken off the
heads of several small screws before
you decide upon using the proper

Improved Spider-Web
Form Easy to Build

The conventional wooden, spider
web coil form with its round wooden
center and radial wooden spokeg is
rather difficult to construct, for the
wooden center has tendency to split
when the rather large holes that are
to take the spokes are bored into it.
If the wood spokes are made so small
that the holes bored in the center
piece are small enough not to split the
wood, they will not be strong enough
to support the winding Of the coil,
and they will be likely to break Ii

Crystal Efficiency

The efficiency of a crystal detector
depends upon the extent to which 1t
rectifies. The rectification of any
crystal is proportional to the square
of the voltage. In other words, the
greater the voltage the greater II rec

tects. Hence, the problem of most
efficient detection is TO obtain the
maximum possible voltage from the
