PARIS GOURMET is HAPPY
Autumn Brings With 1t An Array Of
Detachable Foods

DoloCtabIo Foods
This is the season when your true
French gourmet makes visit to his Gel
lar or, less fortunate, goes to his ia
vorite restaurant to have a long and
confidential chat with the sOmmelier on
the qualities of the burgundies, both
red and white, which he will soon be
drinking, now that all the good things
of the table are about to be offered
him.
In few days there will be partridge
and pheasant, hare and venison. Prun-
ier's, the famous restaurant in the Rue
Duphot, Paris, will reopen, and oys-
tiers, too, will be available, And, for
the gourmet, of equal Importance to the
quality and the cooking of all this
wonderful autumn fare is the right
choice of the wine that he will take
with it.
For months there has been little but
chicken or duck-strange to say, gos-
ling is almost unknown and unappre-
ciated in France-and your gourmet
finds that they have palled upon his
appetite. Now he is counting the days
when the first plump partridge will be
brought before him by the smiling
maitre d'hotel with its proper accom-
paniment, bread sauce if the chef has
the turn of hand to make it, or else
puree de pommes, while the rubicond
Sommelier will be delicately and slowly
extracting the cork from a 15-year-old
bottle of Hichebourg.
He will roll the cork before his nose.
glance at it keenly, and then present
1t to you before ultimately placing it in
the capacious pocket of his black linen
apron. Then he will pour out just half
a glass, which he will roll round and
round so that you can admire the
tawny hue through the facets of the
cut glass before he proclaims triumph
antly that it is "a perfect bottle"
With your Marennes or your Belon
oysters he will have served you a gol-
den-hued burgundy, perhaps a Mont
ratchet or perhaps that aptly named
Meursault Goutte dor.
For hare or venison he would have
recommended doubtless a fuller, flaw
ored wine, a Chambolle Musigny. one
OF the Romanees, or perhaps that loyal
wine, a Vougeot Clos DIES Rois, or even
a Chambertin.
Anr then there is pate de foie from
Strasbourg or from Perigord, which
will soon be offered in gentle whisper
by the maitre d'hotel, or else a strange
but tantalizing perfume will steal
through the room as he will bring you
wicker basket, napkin wrapped, and
show you the first truffles of the sea-

CLEAN TUBES WHEN
EILAMENT ThICKENS

In using the vacuum tube re-
ceiver It often happens that the
filament flickers or fails entirely to
light. In such a case it is a good
idea to remove the tubes and clean
the ends Of the contacts. This is
done either by file or sandpaper.
Sometimes the jacks are at fault.
When this happens inspect the
connections leading to the jack.
Before attempting to make
changes on the jacks remove all
plate battery connections before
making jack adjustments to pre-
vent short circuits. which may re-
suit In the burning out Of the vac
cum tube filaments. II investiga-
ton of both stages Of amplification
fails to produce the trouble It may
be located at the B batteries. Some
times defective tubes cause trouble.
1t Is desirable to test the tubes in
various combinations, shifting them
from one socket to the nsxt.

CLOSELY COUPLE SETS
TO GET GOOD RESULTS

Under ordinary circumstances
while listening-in it is advisable to
have the set closely coupled. This
broadens the tuning, particularly II
a considerable amount Of wire on
the coil is employed. The aerial
circuit should be tuned with a
variable condenser placed in series
for the short waves and in shunt
to the primary for the longer waves.
When the calling station is well
tuned in and II there is interference
the coupling should be manipulated
until a point 10 reached where the
signals are readable through the
disturbances.
Two aerials in the immediate
vicinity have an influence on each
other. II both are used for receiv.
ing at the same time the tuning of
one will affect the other

Reason for Loose Coupling.

The object Of loose coupling Is to
eliminate the effect of interference.
u has been found in practice that
when the primary and secondary
coils are in resonance with each
other they may be separated a con.
siderable distance and signals will
still be recorded In the telephone
receivers. whereas signals that are
