For ease of operation and volume of
signals, the single circuit regenerative
tuner stands supreme against the
three-circuit regenerative tuner. The
latter, however, Is more selective and
will eliminate interference. In cases
where the single-circuit tuner would
be helpless. For consistent reception,
1t would be best to have both types,
taking advantage Of the single-circuit
set when the air Is clear and switch
ing over to the three-circuit tuner
when interference made clear recep-
tion In the single-circuit set impos-
sible.

Mad as March Hare

There is no such animal as a
March hare. The common express
sion should be mad as a marsh hare"
Hares that live in marshes are usual
ly very wild and ungovernable, hence
when one Is unduly excited, he is as
made (or as wild) as a marsh hare
However, the March hare has become
an established figure of speech.

What 'tSoferio" Means

The use of soteria in England is
new. 1t is Greek word which means
salvation. 1t derives its meaning
from two other Greek words, one
meaning deliverance or safety; the
other to rescue from danger. There
lore the English word may well have
the full meaning of safe deliverance
from danger.

the property, and found that many,
many years ago it had been conveyed
to William. John and Richard Penn
by one William Burr. with the stipula-
tion that they should pay a yearly
ground rent of ten Spanish milled dol
lars. There was no record of such
payments being made for long
period. So the ownc" took the case
into court, and on its trial the crier
called for the presence of the three
Penns. to come forth and show cause
why the land should not be declared
forfeited to the holder Of title of today.
When Villa M and his brothers failed
to appear the judge directed the jury
TO find verdict against them.
There is SAVIOR of reverence for
the fundamental principles of law in
this procedure. And 1t i. characteris-
tic Of Philadelphia. Now the owner
can go his way secure in his title
Penn cannot disturb him. For Penn
has forfeited his title. Nobody knows

payment Of ten Spanish milled dollars
But somehow there was a slip in the

gamer with the original landholders.
