taking it, and gave it back to him
when he wanted it. And then they
considered their full duty done.

NOT WISE PLAN FOR
OPPOSITES TO MATE
Writer Takes Issue With
Long-Accepted Maxim.

Considering the hands of both hus-
band and wife together is most inter-
esting and most enlightening. I'd say
to engaged couples, go and have your
characters analysed together It's
good advice and they'd probably adore
doing it.
But would they profit thereby2 Not
If they were really in love, as told
a gentleman who brought me his
fiancee to look over. However, let
me state right here that that ancient
saw about the attraction Of opposites
may be right as to attraction, but it's
all wrong as to suitability. The hap
piest, most enduring marriages are
founded upon likeness. The more
alike the better, unless perhaps, it's
a matter of violent temper, when, of
course the companion should have
balance and self-cOntrol.
Also SuperSensitiveneSS and jealousy
should never be doubled. Two of
these together will make themselves
and the angels weep. BY all means,
let artist marry artist or art lover;

musical, the business woman to the
business man.
And, above all, look for similarity
in sense of humor. Dissimilarity
of that all-important sense has ruined
more homes than vamps, drink and
religious differences put together.
How to tell it? Um-that's hard, for
it isn't to be found In the lines. Truly
adaptable people, who are those with
a sense Of humor, have the flexible
hand, warm in color and warm in it's
heat quality. The palm is invariably
spotted, the flanges of the fingers well
proportioned, apt to be trifie wide
at the tips, which are sensitive. Peo-
pie with large bumps of ambition,
which bump is right under the first
finger, very seldom own that cherished
gift. Why, heaven only knows.
That other old saw about Mans
love is of mans life thing apart;
It's woman's whole existence" Is all
bosh. With many women 1t is thing
apart, and with innumerable men it Is
their whole existence
The love-dependent man is really
more common than the love-dependent
woman, and his number is increasing
or rather, the love-dependent woman is
decreasing, as she finds that work is
an anodyne.- Ethel Watts Mumford In
the Saturday Evening Post.

Ten Good Rules for
Broadcast Listeners

/. Don't try to hear Australia in
midsummer. Be satisfied to enjoy the
nearer stations most of the time.
2. Don't be disappointed if an occaz
sional storm should interfere with
your radio evening. There are many
fine concerts coming. You cant ex-
pect to find pearl in every oyster
nor to receive a record-breaking con-
cert every night.
3. If you want louder signals, use
q longer aerial, more tubes, higher
plate voltage, more sensitive loud
speakers, and more careful ticker and
receiver adjustment.
A. A pleasant signal filing moder-
ate-sized room should be enough to
give satisfaction. It is not worth
while producing signals which deafen
the neighbors. 1t is wasteful to insist
on tremendous signals which are gen
orally less pleasant than moderate sig
nails.
5. If you local station comes in too
loudly and browns others out, a
smaller aerial will help ia tuning bin
out, with a smaller condenser con-
nected between aerial and ground.
And if all measures to get rid of the
local station fail, why not enjoy his
concerts2 He is working hard for you
and ii is nybody's fault that you are
SO close to him that you are bound to
hear him. Broadcast stations have to
be closer TO some people than to
others.
6. For the new longer waves above
400 meters. use q condenser connected
between the aerial and ground terml-
mails of your set.
z. A little patience in learning to
handle your receiver yields rich re-
turns in satisfaction from fine signals.
Remember that Rome wasn't built in
a day" and keep on getting more and
more familiar with your set and how
it works.
8. 1t is good idea to read the
radio column of a newspaper or good
radio magazine or two. 1t helps you
to know how your set works and
keeps you up-to-date In radio. Infor-
nation of this sort is an aid in get
ting the concerts loud and clear.
O. Ask your radio dealer for advice ;
he can probably tell you what you want
to know and will be glad to do so.
The manufacturer Of your set is also
willing to help you get the desired
results from its use.
10 Do not throw Away the direc-
hon sheets or booklet that came with
your set and with the tubes. Read all
such material carefully now and then.
If you have lost the direction sheet,
write TO the dealer or manufactures
for another. The direction sheets
answer most Of the questions which
have been puzzling you and prevent
Ing YOU from getting the best out of
your set.

New Viton1ines

Scientists at the University Of Cali
fOrnia are working on two recently
discovered vitamines which may prove
of great Importance in lengthening life
and in preventing animal sterility.
One Is vitamine discovered In tea.
1t has been named "bios'' and is sup
posed to have 300 times the life-giving
qualities of other similar vitamines
previously found in yeast "Bios" was
discovered, 1t is reported, as result
of observations that tea drinking peo-
pies, including Chinese, japanese, Irish
and English, are longer lived than
some other nationalities.
The second substance discovered, a
flake extracted from wheat, is said to
have increased animal fertility to a
marked degree. However, the sub
stance is present in such small quanti-
ties that only few flakes were Sc
cured from ton of grain.-Phila-
delphia Inquirer.

Bird Not a Lingusist

While employees of the California
state board of control were gathering

pretty parrot flew into the boardroom

itself on the back of chair and stead

Finally George Kelaydis, Greek
restaurant owner, appeared at the
capitol to claim the bird, and Incl
dentally revealed that the bird does
not understand the English language;
it speaks Greek only.

Buckskin Cheaters

Buckslin, from which gloves are
made, comes for the most part from
Mexico and Brazil
The skins are usually smaller than
those Of sheep and seldom perfect be-
cause Of the wounds or thorn
scratches. The latter do not weaken
the gloves, however and, in fact, a
visible scratch is pretty good proof
that glove is genuine buck and not
sheep dressed to initiate buckskin,
says the Springfield Republican. The
leather is dressed in oil and the color
is obtained with colored clay dust. Be
cause of this method of coloring every
buckskin glove will dust off or crack
the first three or four times it is worn.
Buck leather is close f1bered, soft at
ter wearing and warm.

tor in radio development, he will be-
come mere incident, without the
glory and credit that has belonged to
him in the past.
The buyer of an automobile who buys
with the idea of driving it himself and
to a large degree caring for it himself,
if he is wise buys car OF relatively
small cost and simple construction. he
studies it until he becomes intimately
acquainted with its merits and its
weaknesses finds out how to get the
most and the best out of it, By the
time he has mastered his first car, he
is naturally ambitious to possess one
OF greater attainments; one that will
do bigger and better things. And he is
fit to be trusted with such a. valuable
piece Of machinery. He is almost sure
to remark that he is GLAD that he had
sense enough to learn on the junior.
But the tendency of the radio novice
is not to climb the ladder of experience
but reach the top by one big bound. To
plunge into elaborate and costly appa-
ratus This leads to poor results in re-
ceiving, and the rendering of "horrible
examples" to the neighbOrs-the d.
vorcing from the radio idea of many
who might become enthusiasts and OF
benefit to the art.
The amateur may well start with the
crystal set 1t presents fascinating
field for experiment. He should make
his own set if at all mechanically In
clined. Should learn its how and why
from A to z. To know when he Is get
ting all that Is in 1t, and If not why
not.
There is q lot OF fun and lot OF
efficiency in well-built crystal set, and
a lot of JOY in receiving over what you
have made yourself; of showing off
your own child. 1t is doubtful If re-
ceiving over any costly outfit will ever
give the genuine satisfaction to the
owner that comes from reception over
the outfit that cost few dollars and
that he has himself put together.
Let's get back to the old ways, radio
friend. Let's start with the crystal set,
make a friend Of it and learn all of it's
tricks. If We must have set of greater
capacity, let's try one of simple con-
struction, with hook-up not over our
heads. Let's try single tube set and
master that before we jump into COM
pick apparatus.

Interest Cut in Half

The United States court for China,
Shanghai, recently held that the legal
rate of interest applicable on judg-
ments rendered by the United States
court for China was per cent per
annum. In the past rate of II per
cent has been allowed, in conformity
with an old consulate regulation per-
hitting this rate of interest on judg-
ments. The court held, however, that
the District of Columbia code provided
legal rate of 6 per cent interest on
judgments, that this was the law for
the United States court for China, and
that in the future only this rate would
be permissible.

Should Know Tricks
of Favored Crystal Set

Those who have the future of the
radio amateur at heart are worried.
They are not worried over the perma-
nency of radio as an art or as a public
utility. That is assured. But the flu
ture of the amateur phase of radio is
not assured; there is dark cloud
hanging over 1t at the present time
which threatens its very existence.
The tendency of the present-day
novice is to run along the wrong track,
and unless he reverts to the position of
the amateur of radios early days, in
stead Of continuing as the greatest fac
