MOTHER BROWN BAT

my dear little children" said
Mother Brown Bat to her two Bat
babies, "you must hang on tight to
your mother while she carries you
about with her You are not yet two
weeks old and you must stay with
mother all the time.
Hang on tight and you will be safe
as I fly through the air. For every
night l must go a-marketing
"Some like to do their marketing
early In the morning. 1t is then that
they think they get the best pick Of
everything.
"But Mother Brown Bat likes the
early evening best, for then the in
sects are out and the markets are
filed with delicious goodies.

any longer and l will miss you, my
little loves"
Mother Brown Bat flew of for In
sects. Such delicacles as she knew
how to pick out. She knew how TO feel
things before she even touched them.
Oh, Mother Brown Bat was not stu
pld
And after they were home again,
and before Mother Brown Bat was
ready to hang herself up by the hind
feet for a comfortable days sleep, she
had more to say to her babies.
And in her funny, little squeaklng
voice, she said:
ooh, my babies, It is very unfair
the way we are talked about It IS
very unfair, indeed.
"They say we are dirty, and we
aren't dirtyl You know they think 1t
Is horrible If we come around, because
they say we are so dirty-and its un-
true gossip.
THAT'S what 1t is. It hurts US par.
tlcularly as we are so very clean. You
know how I've taught you to take
such care of yourselves and how
cleanliness is something we must all
think about.
'You must lick every part Of your
body you can possibly reach-and you
will find you can just about reach
every part Of 1t by twisting and turn
ing and getting into funny positions.
"Then you must take your splendid
claws of your hind feet and comb your
hair neatly and thoroughly.
"a Brown Bat would be a disgrace
to Bat circles If he didn't take care
Of himself We all do, every one Of
us.
"why people say we are dirty l do
not know-save that once some one
must have said so who knew nothing
about us-so many talk who don't
know Of what they are speaking
and so the gossip spread.
"And when you think of the insects
we eat and Of the wonderful help we
are to people it seems very sad and
very unfair and very unjust that peo-
pie should shudder when they see US
and should say:
"Ugh, see the horrid, dirty batr
"But some day they will know bet

our sakes and for our own pride and
for our own love Of cleanliness we
will be as neat as we can be.

About the first of December they

folks checks that average about $50

way to learn the exact number Of
turns needed is to experiment as
follows:
Wind about SIS turns on the sec
ondary, and when you are finished
with the set and ready to listen in,
decide on a definite station with a
wavelength of, say, $50 meters.
Turn the condenser dial until this
station comes in strongly and note
the reading.
If the reading is at 80 on the
dial, the number of windings is
correct. Otherwise. strip off one
turn at time until the dial
reaches 80 for a 36O-meter station.
This will enable you to cover all
broadcasting wavelengths.
The two coils, A and b, are set
alongside each other, with the CEN
tiers coinciding. about an inch
apart. Two or three pieces Of
wood an inch long may be set be-
tween them for this purpose, and
nails hammered into the ends
through the coils, to keep them
together.
Other Parts
A piece Of doweling about a.
inch thick can be used to hold the
coils upright. Bore a ssinch hole
in the Dashboard, where the coils
are to go, put the dowel into one
Of the openings of the larger coil,
leaving enough to be glued into the
hole in the base.
The variable condenser should
be Of the best low-loss type avail
able A 23-plate type is called for.
OF course, it should be vernier-
controlled.
The fixed condenser. CO, should
be Of .001 MID capacity, and the
grid condenser CO, should have a
capacity Of 00O25 MID with a va
riAble grid leak Of from to 2
megohms.
The phone jack. J, is Of the open
circuit type if no audio amplifier
is to be added to the deteCtor. But
it should be of the closed circuit
type If an amplifier is attached.
The tube, depending on the use
of dry or wet batteries for filament
current, may be either UV-199,
UV-20O or any other detector Of
reputable make.

CITIES CAN'T LIMIT

Government Says This Is

BIZ NEA Service
WASHINGTON, Oct. ATTEMPTS
of various cities to regulate the use
of radio within their limits have

This opinion, which was antici-

stated specifically that 1.-The Govern
ment owns the ether" is the out
come of a peculiar legal entangle-
ment that threatened at one time
to set local city and State authors

ity for so doing was the so-calied

confer on them for the abatement
of nuisances that endanger the

That this special authority should
be interpreted as covering the sub
ject of radio communication was
regarded by the legally informed as
being little short of humorous, and
practically all cities where sucn
agitation had cropped out hastily
pulled in their horns and ruled out
