I'm Accordance With the Ritual

who still has great love for the

writer, is product of Wisconsin and
until one day when his friend Gum
took him over on Staten island had
never seen game of cricket.
Teams made up of English resi-
dents were playing for the Greater
New Yorl: championship. The spec
tators, almost exclusively, were their
fellow-countrymen. Kirk stationed
himself in a front seat alongside
Gum and prepared to give to the
sport his undivided attention.

And swell hit! Well hit I" echoed
others in the crowd.
An opposing player made hard
run to catch the ball as it descended
into his territory. He almost got
under it-almost but not quite. 1t
just el1ded his clutching fingers.
"Well tried. old chap! Well tried!"
called out Gum, all enthusiasm.
Kirk decided that this sort Of
thing must be in accordance with the
proper ritualisT of the game. He
decided that, to show his approval,
he would at the next opportunity
speak up, too.
Presently the opportunity came.
Once more the batsman smote the
ball with emphasis. 1t rose high in
the air. A fielder for the rival club
ran to catch it. His toe caught in
clod of upturned TURF and he
tumbled forward on his face and the
ball. dropping, hit him squarely on
the top of his head.
Kinks yell rose high and clear
above all lesser sounds.
swell fell, old chap!" he shouted.
'Well fell, by gum"

didn't happen to him at all. Perhaps
he only heard it somewhere.
Be that as it may. Mr.. Schwab

RADIUM TREATMENT OF
CANCER

THE treatment of cancer by radium
Is one OF the miracles of modern
science. While we do not as yet know
the cause of cancer nor why 1t occurs
in some people and not in others, we
do know that, in certain forms of can
Ger, If used early, radium Is almost
a certain cure.
The discovery Of radium itself reads
like fairy story. 1t has. Of course,
always existed but until rs years ago
its existence was unknown and unsus-
pected.
Roentgen discovered the x rays In
1895. This discovery naturally stimu-
lated interest in all forms of rays. In
1895, Berquerel, a French scientist,
found that uranium, one Of the rare
metals, gave off strange radiations un-
like anything previously known.
Madame Curie, a Polish woman, wife
of Professor Curie of Paris, became
interested In studying these strange
rays She found that some specimens
Of uranium had much greater activity
than others and so concluded that the
rays were due, not to the uranium IT.
self, but to some other substance pres
ent in uranium in different amounts. In
1900, she succeeded in separating this
substance, which she called radium.
Shortly after, Rutherford, an English
scientist, found that radium gave on
three different kinds of rays. which he
called A. B and G rays; so using the
Greek letters, as Is common in scien-
titic work, he named them Alpha, Beta
and Gamma rays.
These rays differ In strength. as
shown by their ability 10 penetrate
different substances. The Alpha rays
are very weak, so much so that the
can be stopped by single thickness
of paper. The Beta rays are stopped
by thin sheets Of metal, while the
Gamma rays are the str0nyest OF all
and are not stopped by anything, SO
far as we know.
No one knew that these rays had
any effect on the body until, in 1901.
Professor Berquerel received radium
UuIu AAOLl dAIyAAS OOttAC VI AoNANns
salts in his pocket. 1t was then found
that the Gamma rays had wonderful
effect on the body cells, stimulating
them in small doses and destroying
them in large ones and, most remark
able of all, that these rays in doses so
small as TO have no effect on healthy
cells, would kill cancer cells, espe-
cially in skin cancers where the rays
come into direct contact with the cam
cerous growth. The cancer is de-
stroyed and the skin heals almost
without scar.
This treatment Is especially effec-
tive in cancer of the tongue, lip, cheek,
ear and nose. To be Of any value, 1t
must be used early, before the glands
under the jaws and in the neck be-
come enlarged. Early treatment with
radium will cure most skin cancers.

POISONING BY POTATOES

DOTATOES are so universally used
L for food that few persons know
that, under some conditions, they may
become poisonous This Is not strange
when we remember that the potato
plant belongs to the same vegetable
family as belladonna, the deadly
nightshade," stramonium, hyoscyamus
and tobacco, all Of which contain. in
some parts of the plant or under some
conditions, powerful narcotic poisons.
The poison in the potato is a vege-
table substance known as solanin. In
the ordinary potato, as 1t is used for
food, the amount of this poison is SO
small as to be of no Importance But
in very ripe potatoes or those which
have sprouted. the amount is increased
and It may be enough to cause serious
poisoning.
A number of cases of poisoning
from potatoes have occurred in Eu-
rope. In one case in Germany, SO SOL
diers in ole company were made seri-
ously i'll by eating sprouted potatoes
The first fatal case of poisoning in
America is reported by DR.. Mazyck p.
Ravanel, professor of public health In
the Missouri State university at Col
umbia. 1t occurred in the family Of
q farmer near Vandalia, ILL.,. last o.
tober and is described by Doctor
Ravanel in recent issue of Science.
The farmer gathered some potatoes
from patch which had been covered
with straw. The straw had been scat
tered by chickens, exposing the pota-
toes to the strong sunlight, so that
they had become thoroughly ripened
and were bright green. The farm
er's wife cooked them and al! the fam
lily. except the father, ate them. The
family consisted of the farmer. his
wife, two daughters, and five sons.
Two days after eating them. all the
family except the father were taken
i'll with pain in the stomach. nausea,
vomiting. extreme thirst, rapid breath
ing and marked prostration. The
mother and one daughter died after
two days Illness The other daughter
and the FIVE sons recovered.
There have probably been many
cases of slight poisoning from this
cause which were regarded simply as
cases of Indigestion.
Fully ripened and sprouted potatoes.
especially those of marked green
color. are not Ct for food. Throw them
away. They are just as dangerous TO
animals as they are TO human beings.

pilots, captains, mates, clerks and
engineers "a collection of quaint
types and homely philosophers. One
OF the regular visitors was a grizzled
master who had as quick a wit and
as gorgeous an inventive faculty as
any man ever saw. His fictions
and fables, told with an air Of sin

l was small boy but ! still re-
member it as though it were yester-
day, when on summer afternoon
the talk drifted to the subject of
mules. Somebody ventured the
opinion that the mule was a stupid
animal.
Instantly our champion romancer
spoke up:
Don't you believe it," he said.
"The average mule has got more
sense than the average horse has got.
What's more, every mule has got
something that no horse ever had

"Along about the middle of July
came the most terrific hot spell that
ever occurred in this country. The
thermometer went to 11S in the
shade and stayed right there day and
night :or three weeks. At the end
of the third week, on the hottest day
of all, the sun set fire to the roof of
that corncrib and it burned to the
ground. Naturally, the heat popped
all the corn and 1t fell three inches
deep, all over that ten-acre lot. The

Variable Resistances
to Take Up Little Room

No two sets operate on the same
value of resistance when using the re-

should be adapted to the character
istics of the tubes used, the aging Of
the tubes, and the changing voltage Of

Variable resistance may be made so
as to occupy very little room. Nearly
all commercially made variable resist
ances are so made that it is awkward
to mount them. The diagram indicates

Properly Fitted Gloves
Sure to Give Service

The saleswOman at the glove coun-
ter no longer says, "What size,
please?' nowadays; instead she care
fully measures your hand and then
produces the prOper-sized glove for it.
Nevertheless, the thoughtful shopper
likes to know what the process is
which enables her to do So-every
woman wants to know what size glove
she wears
Your kid gloves come in quarter
sizes from 51a to 81a, and you get them
with fingers long, or short, or medium
You should get your fabric glove about
half size larger than you do the kid
ones, since the cloth gloves have prac
tically no stretch" to them. Misses
gloves come in the same sizes as wom-
ems gloves do. Mems range from 6A
to TO- And children's gloves can be
had from 000O to 7.
Don't make the mistake of insisting
upon the size you "have been wear
ing" when the saleswOman suggests
another Particularly if your old glove
is torn or split, there is evidence that
the new one should be selected ac
cOrding to the size of the hand-nOt
according to the size Of the worn
out glove
1t seems that women have a tend
ency to buy too small gloves. And
it is for this reason that the French"
system of glove sizes, rather than the
american" system that has been de
Scribed, is sometimes used; for this
French" system, also called the
blind" system, because the chances
are that the customer will not under
stand it, eliminates the probability that
the customer will insist on buying a
size too small for her.
However, if you do find the "Ameri
can" system Of glove sizes in use, re
member these points when you are
tempted to insist on having your "reg
ular size" In the first place, gloves
differ so greatly in elasticity that a
size right for you in one kind of ma
terial may be quite wrong in another.
Again, different makes Of gloves run
differently in sizes Then, it's not i'm
possible for your hand to grow, you
know Just because you once wore a
size 615 glove is no reason that you al
ways should. And, finally, don't think
you can settle the matter of glove
sizes merely by holding the back of
the glove up to the back of your hand !;
for the glove must not only fit the
width of your hand, but its bulk also.
Remember that a too small glove
does not minimize the size of the hand.
It simply splits out rapidly, and so Is
costly purchase.

BY PERCY WARREN, in Radio World

BY PERCY WARREN, in Radio World
We all know that a set which is
built of expensive materials works
very we'll and is recommended by all
experts, but suppose that we haven't
the money to purchase the best new
parts? By that l do not mean that
we mustn't use materials efficient
electrically and still expect to get very
good results. What | mean is that
we can build our own coil at a very
small cost and still obtain efficiency.
Of all the sets that give distance and
volume there is not one that excels
the simple regenerative type.
The set that / am going to describe
is of the three-circuit variety and is a
WOrid-beater for volume and distance
even though the inexperienced person
can build it.
Construction of the Coil.
The first thing that you want to do
before you build this set is to read
every piece Of data that refers to the
successful operation Of the receiver.
You have probably read the informa-
ton already. After doing this we are
all set to build the coil, which is very
simple, but with which a great deal of
care should be taken.
Procure a form about four inches in
length, three inches in diameter. We
will wind the grid coil first, starting
about one-fourth of an inch from one
end of the form. Before doing this,
better drill two holes about three-six-
teenths of an inch in diameter and
about one-half of an inch away from
each other for anchorage. Put binding
posts here and mark one G and one
f plus. Now drill two holes exactly
as the ones drilled on the other end

Use of Flare and
Fur on Fall Coat
Daytime Outer Garment to
Be Either Mannish or
Feminine.

The advance shOWings indicate that
the daytime coats of autumn will be
divided into two classes-the tailored
and the formal. Mannish and fem
inine, writes a fashion correspondent
in the New York Herald-Tribune,
would be an equally accurate designa-
ton. The outstanding characteristics
of the formal and feminine type are
the almost invariable use of the flare
and the lavish employment OF fur.
Some models flare from the shoulder
down, some feature circular flOunCeS,
either all around or at the front only,
and others flare at both front and
sides. Fur is applied to these formal
coats in almost every conceivable man
ner-wherever an opportunity pre-
sentS itself
Tailored coats provide a sharp con-
trast. The flared silhouette is pres
ent, but not to the exclusion of the
straight and the redingOte outlines.
Trimming is occasionally entirely alb
sent when present it appears in the
greatest moderation. When fur is us 1
it is usually of the flat variety, such
as beaver or antelope. TWeeds and
some of the kasha weaves are the
principal fabrics of the mannish coat

played in the shoes exhibited by

accompany a gown in blue and pink,
is in sky-blue glace. The quarter is
cut out with a sort of ladder pattern
and is edged with a one-centimeter
trim of pink kid. The pink kid trim
a blue glace heel and an olive-shaped
button covered in blue kid likewise
contribute to the delightful color
scheme of a very simple but elegant
shoe.

Panel Instructions.
Lay aside the coil and take the
panel. There are two controls on the
front, besides the rheostat, which
should be Of the 6-ohm type for
WD-11 or Il tube. The panel is 7 by
~ inches and is of hard rubber, which
is more efficient for radio than, the

hole for the variable condenser,
2 So inches away from the end and
31a inches from the top of the panel
The templates for the cOndensers are
in the cartons. The condenser is the
only article which costs any real
money"
The dials are three inches in diam
eter. The same dimensions apply to
the other variable condenser when
drilling the holes. For the rheostat
drill IL inches from the bottom and
4 inches from the end. The other
dimensions are given with the rheo
stat. That is all the drilling that
goes on the front of the panel, ex-
cept the Dashboard holes, which are
determined by the size of the board
that you have Casually an inch-thick
board about six inches in length, and
having about three holes evenly
spaced, 3 1-3 inches space). On the
board mount the coil between the two
condensers. Don't squeeze it in.
