ADVICE FOR MOUNTING
VARIABLE APPARATUS
Method Suggested to Have Con-
densers, Variometers or Vario-
couplers Rotate Freely.

In mounting apparatus such as
variable condensers, variometers or
variocouplers that have a u Inch
shaft, 1t is advisable to drill a hole
at least 932 of an inch in diameter
so that the shaft will rotate freely.
The dial Will cover the hole any way.
So far as variable condensers are
concerned, a paper template is sup
piled by the makers. showing how

You may be sure that it wasn't

knew about the babies in the hollow

every one he met, and of course the
one who was told htold someone else
or Mrs. Buzzard didn't mind, for she
was no long trying to keep it Sc

those babies had to be fed. There

at those babies. or Mrs. Buzzard

She was quite truthful about 1t. She
really believed 1t. That was because
she was their mother.
'Humph!' exclaimed Sammy Jay.

mother they certainly are no beau

So Sammy Jay flew over as fast as
his blue and white wings could carry
him to a tree from which he could
look down into that hollow stump.
Mrs. Buzzard was standing on the
edge of the stump. did you ever
see such darlings?" she asked, as
Sammy peered down into the hol-
low. Ibid yo' ever see such hand
some babies?"
Sammy peered down in. Then he
began to laugh. lie laughed and
laughed and laughed. He laughed
so heartily he nearly fell from his
perch. "Handsome!" he gasped.
Handsome: oh. my peaked cap!
To think that any one should call
those fuzzy creatures handsome. I

in my time. but none to equal

or Mrs. Ruzzard became very
angry, She Missed at Sammy IS only

Sammy only kept on laughing. He

OF course. all the parish knew by

The thought stung her, she would

Harley Seton.
Nobody could be sorry for her

everything she wanted. She wond-

could buy would deaden the pain in

telling the villagers that they are

an acquaintance who invites her to
help with a church function and
then opines that Arnotts sister will
soon marry Peter.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
Nan felt as II she were just a
mechanical figure forcing herself to
walk on, walk on, and not give way
to the overpowering sense Of weak
ness that seized her.
Then the mist lifted, and out Of
the silence she heard herself saying

such homely babies in 1t. They were
homely babies. But for that matter
the babies of most of the feathered
folk are homely when TREY are very
little. Very few tiny babies OF the
feathered folk are pretty, like the
! babies of Mrs. Bob White and Mrs.

were covered with down, which Is
more than could be said for some
| other bird babies. For instance, take
/ the babies of Rattles the Kingfisher.
When they are Matched there isn't
q feather nor a particle of down on
them, and really they are much ug-
lier and homelier looking than were
these Buzzard babies.
The down covered them all over
even their heads. 1t covered their
funny little wings. Could you have
seen them and not known who their
parents were, you never, never would
have guessed that those funny little
wings ever could be among the most
wonderful wings in all the Great
World. They certainly didn't look it

Those hollow tree babies grew as
only hungry young babies can grow.
Where their parents managed to find
enough food for them was a mys-

catch other birds or animals. This
is one reason why they are not fear

they eat disgusts most of their neigh
bors, and so all OF these kept away
from the hollow tree. This suited
Mistah and Mrs. Buzzard. There
was nothing to disturb their growing
youngsters.
