May Increase Volume
or Distance Reception

Many radio fans become dissatisfied
sets after they have been in use for
while. AS a usual thing radio fire.
quency application is the first thing
thought of to raise both the volume
and increase the distance reception.
1t is not necessary to add more tubes
to the present set to increase the vol
ume or the distance reception. If a
longer ATHENA is impressed on the
tubes the desired result will be OBJ
tanned. In the majority of such cases
1t will only be necessary to tune the
an increase in both volume and dis
lance reception.

Ground Clamp Needed for
Good Ground Connection

Just walk into radio store and ask
for ground clamp. This is small
strip of metal that is stamped with the
necessary holes for the Tightening bolt.
Scrape the water pipe that runs near
est to the set you are installing. Wrap
the metal strip around the cleaned por-
ton of the pipe and fasten with the
bolt. Then solder the end of the
ground wire on TO the end of the strip
and you have good ground for re-
ceiving.
1t is almost impossible to solder
wire directly to a pipe that contains
running cold water

Containers

1t is always advisable to- use nom
metallic vessels for storing and
handling the distilled water used In
storage batteries. Glass containers
such as fruit jars or milk bottles, can
be used for the purpose with the best
results While on the subject of water
in storage batteries, it should be re-
membered that the electrolyte should
always cover the top of the plates.

der may be used for this purpose.
Strips of lead, or In fact any lead that
can be readily found and can be SOL
dered or clamped tightly to the ter
minals will fill the bill. The most i'm
portant point is to keep the copper
leads away from the battery, using the
non-corrosive metal where it will be
exposed to the fumes arising from the
battery.
AS an added precaution, coat the
connections, the terminals of the bat
terry and the connection strips with a
thin film Of ltibricating grease. This
will prevent any possible corrosion of
any impurities that happen to be pres
ent In the metals, and will tend to pre-
serve the appearance of the battery

GWENDOLEN

WENDOLEN, which has long been
~ the victim of satire and the sup
posed product of affectation in this
country, has really the noble and most
dignifed of origins. 1t is one of the
appellatives of the round table. and Is
indissolubIy associated with all that is
finest in romantic history. The name
comes from the Welsh, and means
"fair-browed." All the Gwendolens of
history have been radiantly beautiful.
The first famous Gwendolen, accord
ing to the "Brut and Geoffery" of Mon
mouth, was the daughter of Corineus,
duke of Cornwall, and wife of Locrine,
son of the original Brutus. He de-
serted her for the sake of a fair Ger
man captive and she made war upon
him, in the course of which he was
Sabrina or Avern, made prisoners !;
whereupon the vengeful queen caused
both to be drowned in the river which
was afterward known as the Severn.
There Is Welsh saint named St.
GwendOlen, who was the famous
Gwen" mother of Caradog Vreich-
fras, the excellent Sir Cradocke of
King Arthur's round table. There was
also Gwendolen, the beauty of Ar
thurs court, and 1t was she who is
said TO have possessed the golden
chess board upon which silver men
played of their own accord. In Wales
the daughter of the last native prince
was so called, and for that reason, her
name will always continue in popular
ity there.
Onyx is Gwendolen's talismanic
stone. 1t is said to protect her from
evil and disease. and TO cool anger If
worn about the neck. Thursday is ner
lucky day and 5 her lucky number.

STATE ARSENATE CAR
MADE FEW SALES HERE
LITTLE MORE THAN A HALF
TON WAS DISPOSED OF TO
FARMERS AT DAWSON.

board OF entomology was not as great

Only about 1900 pounds were sold. &C
cording to A. L. Simonton, who was
in charge OF the car. With one eXcep-
ton the orders were all small. The
lack OF buyers was probably due in
part to the fact that Dawson banks
have sold poison and are still supplied
with large quantities The bad wealth
er on Friday doubtless had something
to do with the small sales.
To those who visited the car Mr..
Simonton made the following sugges-
tons for applying poison: Plant cot
tor on the best drained land; daub
the young buds with a molasses and
arsenate solution and burn all squares
that fall on the ground; dust the
plants as the blooms begin to appear
and as often thereafter as necessary
until cotton is we'll developed. Wealth
er conditions have much to do with
the number Of applications OF the
poison dust. He suggested good
8-4-4 combination OF fertilizer as the
best to use in connection with the
poison.
