RADIO QUERIES

Radio Editor:
have become a rabid fan by con-
tinuous reading of your page in The
Evening Star. I have built the cTys-
tai set described in Fifteen Min
utes of Radio Each Day" by Mr.. Jo-
seph Ca!caterra. This set has turned
out to be wonder about the neigh
borhood, but it does not give me suf-
ficient volume, because I am hard of
hearing. Can you tell me where | can
get the information as to. how to
hook up one stage of amplification to
this set etr-WILLIAM B. WATERMAN.
Amplifying units can be purchased
at almost any radio supply store. BY
writing to Mr. Calcaterra, United Fea-
lures Syndicate. World Building.
New York City, you may obtain da-
gram of an amplifyinG unit if you
desire to construct it.
Radio Editor:
l wish to thank J. A. r. and DR..
Dixon for answers to my queries
through your column. 1 am not only
grateful at finding the answer. but

tory one. L think / have him beat in

The basic formula for Silox, tn,

method takes care of that. Silox
IS not to be confused with ordinary

ell US that there is more real baby
omfort in one can of Silox thar

Try Silox, mothers! Sprinkle

How to Build a One-Stage AudiO
Frequency Amplifier Unit-Part l.


If you are using a good one-tube
set of the types which l have already
described, all that you will need to
get the volume great enough to be
pleasant on a loud speaker is single
stage of audio frequency amplifica-
ton.
The statement that at least two
stages of audio frequency amplifica-
ton are necessary for loud-speaker
work has been repeated so often that
it is accepted as gospel truth by
many radio fans.
This statement may have been
true back in the diaper days of radio
broadcasting, when both transmit
ting and receiving apparatus was
not developed to the stage as it is
now, but today this development has
reached such a stage that it is en-
tirely possible 10 work a loud speaker
on one-tube set up to distances
of 500 miles, provided a good aerial
system and good one-tube set are
employed.
The volume, of course, is not great,
but it is sufficient to make speech
intelligible several feet from the
horn. In such cases one stage of

cut and fabric from every other.
Each requires a different adjustnsut
different slips are needed, different
colored stockings and sometimes an
entirely different arrangement of the
hair to make the different frocks

There is not the slightest doubt
that women are better satisfied with
the clothes they wear now than they
have been in many, many years. Why
else would they cling so persistently

Toto is such a simple camping
game that you can almost guess how
to play it from the picture, but you'll
never know till you've tried it just
how much fun it is. You can rig up
the apparatus from things around
camp. First make a Dashboard three
feet square. using ordinary inch
boards or pieces of wooden planks.
In its center nail three empty coffee
cans, placing them so that the rim
of each one touches the others, just
as is shown above. Next make three
yarn or string balls about the size
of tennis ball, and try to make a
kind that doesn't bounce easily.
Place the board with three cans on
the floor, allowing it to lean against
the wall or a chair with one side ten
to twelve inches higher than the
other. If you have some tools at
camp you might nail two legs on one
side of the board to raise it to the
right height.
Line up the players eight or ten
feet from the board. Then each one
in turn tries to throw three balls
in the cans. The first to get all three
balls in is winner. This looks easy.
but because the rims of the cans are
touching, each ball has to be thrown
squarely into it's can or it will miss
entirely.
Teams of two or four players may
play each other, setting 100 for the
winning score, or another way to

been snobbery as a motive, but the
result has been entirely satisfactory.
Though she does not always real
ize il, the woman who spends her
hours working in her own house and
about her own garden may solve
many of her dress difficulties by
adopting a uniform. She is wise in
adopting checked gingham as the
fabric. One clever woman who makes
her own clothes with the aid of
little seamstress greatly simplified
her dress problem this summer by
having six checked gingham frocks
all made alike. The difference lies in
the color of the check-brown, yell
low, violet, green, pink and blue.

smartly dressed American women
today who are counting on the
tailored two-piece suit for their
street costume for late summer and
early autumn as ever.
In France the two-piece suit be-
came so popular that it was some
times caricatured. Possibly it was
worn so much by women in general
that the really fashionable woman
in particular. over there. withdrew
her favor. But at any rate it was

We might add that seldom within
recent years has feminine fashion
changed SO little as within the last
ten or twelve years. A woman
might walk down any smart
thoroughfare in the land wearing the
more advanced mode of ten years
ago without attracting any particular
attention. On the other hand, a

caused much CONSERVATION had she

suit as simple and easily assembled
as the mans business suit here is
everything that she can desire. Never
in the whole history of occidental
costumery has it been possible for a
woman to dress with such a smack
of neutrality-suspicious. it amounts
more to boyishness than to real man
nishness-without jeopardizing her
feminine charm. Here is a street
costume that would have left Amelia

but it smacks neither of the reformer
nor the faddist.
