"The slick guy"

Nearly every one of us has seen the check
ered-suit person with the velvet tongue.
How smoothly he once told Of the merits Of
this product or that-and raked in perfectly
good coin for purchases that were often
worthless.
The "slick guy" is seldom seen today.
When the wise person goes to buy, he knows
what is good in value and fair in price.
Simply by glancing over the advertise
ments in your paper, you can see where to go
for the best buys. You can compare values
and check up prices without even stirring
from your easy chair. You know in advance
just what you are going to get and how much
it will cost And you can have the satisfac-
ton that comes from knowing your money is
wisely and safely spent.

Radiophone Does Away

Practical use of the radio telephone
for private conversation between indi-
yiduals has been demonstrated by DON
aid III. Johnson of Euclid Beach park,
Cleveland, Ohio. For two years he
has employed the radiophone for
daily chat with his father, DR.. William

miles distant.
These conversations were carried on
in broad daylight with the same reli-
ability of a private telephone and, of
course. necessitated no toll charges.
Both father and son are licensed anna
tours using respectively the calls SBEI
and SDGS. The younger johnson de-
clared that the daily chats had never
been missed so far. Other members
of the family use the microphone and
letter writing is a thing of the past.

range of these stations is from the

Stream, Makes Trouble

are caused much trouble by this hid
den stream, which, though covered up
and f6rgotten in the Sixteenth century
still flows. The deep base.u ents of

tertight tanks. The course of the Wal
brook is right under the Bank of Eng
land and may give trouble when the
new building is erected. The Wal
brook was tidal river-being appar-
emily 80 to 40 feet wide at high tide
and it is still tidal. The river is about
30 feet beneath the level of the ground
at the bank. When the new bank Is
constructed it may be advisable to run

ball, with brass fittings for mounting
it upon the stator tube, can be OBJ
tanned at any radio shop. Sixty turns
of No. 20 wire are wound upon the
rotor, about two inches of wire being
left at each end of the wire for con-
nections. The rotor Is then mounted
upon the stator tube, as shown in
Fig. 1. Two small holes are made
in the stator tube directly opposite
each other and one-half inch down
from the top of the tube. The mount
ings for the rotor ball are pushed
through these holes. Stranded wire is
used TO connect the ends of the rotor
winding to two binding posts at the
top of the stator tube.
This completes the variocoupler.
A thin coat of collodion or of shellac
diluted with alcohol may be spread
over the winding to keep the turns
in place. The taps are scraped free
of insulation, so that the leads from
the switches may be soldered to them.
The parts are now mounted upon
the panel and Dashboard. The posi-
ton of the various instruments is
shown in Figure 2. The variocoupler
is mounted on the left, the switches
leading to the tens taps and the units
taps respectively are in the center
and the condenser is mounted on the
right. This makes very neat and
simple panel layout. The crystal is
mounted above the switches. If
fixed crystal detector is used 1t may
be mounted inside the set, and will
relieve the operator from the neces-
sity of making delicate crystal ADJUST
ments.

Measuring Lights Velocity

The velocity of light may be meas

ing method: A cogged wheel is so
mounted that ray of light passes be-
tween two of the teeth and is reflected
back from mirror. Slight as is the
fraction of a second which light takes
to travel the distance, it is possible to
give such speed to the wheel that the
next tooth catches the ray of light on
its return and cuts it off. The speed
is increased still further until the ray
of light returns to the eye Of the OBJ
server through the notch next to tie
one by which it had passed to the mir
ror. The speed of the wheel being
known, it is thus possible to determine

and per cent water. The organic mat

BY J. L. RiFKlN
Crystals are fast becoming unpopu-
lar as detectors and rectifiers of radio
waves. Except for its use in reflex
circuits, the crystal is now used only
by those who cannot afford the more
expensive vacuum tube.
The main reason for the neglect of
the crystal is the fact that crystals
have limited receiving range, except
under very favorable conditions. An
other reason for the unpopularity of
the crystal is that most crystal cir
cults do not provide sufficient selec-
tivity and the different broadcasting
stations interfere" with each other
in the set
Were it not for these two disadvan-
tages, crystals would be even more
widely used than vacuum tubes for
radio reception. In the first place,
crystals are very much cheaper to buy
and to replace than tubes. Secondly,
