Dan, in Kentucky
Largest in World

Kentucky, says the Louisville Times,
soon will be able to boast artificial falls
that are 20 feet higher than Niagara,
when the great rock-filled Dix river
dam-the largest in the world-has
been completed on the Dix river, near
High Bridge.
Here, between steep stone cliffs
which form the banks of the river,
more than one and one-quarter million
cubic feet of rock have been used in
constructing a dam that is 270 feet
high, 700 feet thick at it's base, taper
ing to "A feet at its summit, and has a
crest 920 feet long reaching from cliff
to cliff. The back waters of the dam
will make a lake stretching SO miles
up the valley. A waterfall of 235 feet
will be utilized. whereas the falls at
Niagara are only 165 feet.
In order to provide an outlet for the
river while the dam is being construct
ed, tunnel 900 feet long and % feet
in diameter was carved through the
solid rock which forms the banks of
the river.

ASTHMA FROM HOUSE
DUST

4 STHMA, like hay fever, was un-
"A til recently a disease which no
one could explain. You either had it
or you didn't. have it. If you had it
you were subject to sudden uncon-
trollable spasms, when you couldn't
breathe, when you choked and gasped
for air. Other people, perhaps your
immediat. relatives, sat in the same
room, breathed the same air, ate the
same foods, did the same work and
were entirely unaffected. The spasms
would come on without warning, they
would disappear without reason. Some
patients claimed that their attacks
were brought on by going into stable,
driving behind horse or even pass
ing a horse on the street. But this
seemed too ridiculous to consider.
Then it was found that certain
foods or drugs would cause attacks in
certain persons. Now 1t is pretty well
proven that most cases of asthma are
caused by inhaling some substance
that is harmless to most people but
Irritating to the asthmatic. Like hay
fever, it may be caused by fine SEEDS
from plants, by dander from horse.
by dust, by chemicals. such as forma-
lin, or whatever is the irritating sub
stance which causes a spasm in each
particular person.
This personal sengitivepess to
food, a drug, an odor or a dust, which
may produce asthma, hay fever, skin
rash or vomiting in the sensitive per-
son but which produces no result
whatever in the. normal person, is
called allergy. What causes it we
don't know.
One of these substances Is house
dust, the dust that collects in the
ordinary house, that fills the rugs.
the cushions and the curtains, that
settles on the nantes and the tops
of the book cases. Why it should
be especially irritating to some peo-
pie and harmless to others, we don't
know. Out of every 327 asthma cases
which Doctor Cooke studied, 100 or
80 per cent were sensitive to house
dust.
This may explain why some house
wives always have an attack of
asthma after spring house cleaning
and why some men, who have been
accused of laziness because they tried
to get out of beating the rugs, were
really trying to avoid spell Of
asthma.

WILL CORSETS COME
BACK?

a CCORDING to the cablegrams and
"A news letters from Paris. that
center of wOman's dress, corsets are
coming back. Once more women are
going to have a definite waistline. For
many years now the waistline has
been on the move. One year, 1t was
up under the arms. The next year Ii
was down nearly to the knees. But
wherever it was, it didn't stay long
enough to do any harm. A movable
waistline does no great damage. 1t
doesn't stay in one place long enough
to tempt any woman to make her body
fit her waistline, instead of her waist
in one location for years, then 1t
causes trouble.
The present generation doesn't real
lie what kind of clothes women wore
thirty years ago. They regard the pic
lures they see occasionally in the mag
azines or the clothes they see on the
stage in old plays as burlesques and
caricatures. Naturally, each genera
ton thinks the clothes of the previous
generation were screams" Any girl
of today who had TO wear her mothers
clothes would scream getting into
them.
Among my cherished treasures I
have a photograph of ten girls in my
college class of 1894. They were the
average age of college seniors, from
twenty-five to twenty-four. They look
as old as women of fifty do today.
Each girl has on a heavy cloth dress.
with a high, stiff collar up to her ears.
The sleeves of heavy, wooden cloth
are skin tight at the wrists, swelling
gradually to huge balloon-shaped
structures, which rise way above the
shoulders. Each girl has on a tight
fitting basque and long heavy skirt
which touches the ground in front and
drags behind.
l didn't know as much about wom-
ems clothes then as / have since
learned, but it's safe to say that every
one of those young girls had worn a
stiff, tightly laced corset every day Of
her life, since she was twelve or thir-
teen years old. They had TO catch 'em
young in those days. Not only that,
but little girls cried to be allowed to
wear corsets and long skirts, like their
big sisters.
One of.the leading authorities on dis
easse of women, In a book published
about this time (1S94) said that the
average woman, at that time, wore
seventeen layers Of cloth about her
waist and that together they formed a
bandage thirty-four feet long. How
many layers does the present college
girl wear? Vogue, the leading author
ity on woman's dress, says that the
present-day girl wears just three gar
ments under her loose, one-piece dress.
The fiapper of today hasn't, any waist
line and never has had and is all the
better for 1t.
Will corsets come back? Not II
American girls have anything TO say
about it.

winding form to remain in the COIL
The Lorenz type requires tying up.
The basket weave is self-supporting
and self-holding. The spider web has
somewhat less inductance than either
of the others for the same number of
turns. The others do not differ ma
terially except in amount of wire and
size of coil for the same number of
turns
Both the basket weave and the Lor
enz winding may take on the solenoid

strike a 3-inch circle and drive in
spikes equally spaced. or erect pins

number. Usually Is are used. but any
odd number can be used. and, of
course, the smaller the diameter the
les the number of pins. In the sole
mold type, the coil will slip off the
pins, so the pins are not removable
from the board necessarily.
In the solenoid winding, as in the
edge winding, the basket-weave coil
is obtained by winding over and under
one pin at a time. The Lorenz wind
ing is obtained as shown by the dotted
line, winding in and out, over and un-
der two pins at time.
There is no more real satisfaction in
construction to be obtained than to
wind a set of Lorenz coils both of the
solenoid and the edge type.

The switching arrangement shown is

of nine switch points and a switch

the panel of the set or on an individual

use only on this one.

Low-loss coils require large wire,
good spacing between turns and, pref
erably, no supporting dielectric. II
one uses a supporting tube or frame
work he must be sure it is high quail
ity. Keeping metal out of the field
of the coil is important.
The difference between the various
ways of winding is shown in the fig
ures. OF course, every one knows
that coil wound on tube, or so that
the completed coil itself forms tube,
is known as q solenoid winding. 1t is
probably the most common form of
winding we find.
Then there is spiral winding in which
the diameter of the coils progressively
increases. One turn is wound on top
of the other outward so the resulting
coil is one turn wide. 1t resembles
somewhat the fiat pancake type, the
form for which is at the right of Fig. 2.
This type is called the spider-web
coil for obvious reasons. The inner di

There must be an odd number of slots.
Usually the winding goes in one slot
and out the other, under and over
each spoke in turn. There is no rea-
son why it should not go under two
windings shown in the other figures.

Characteristics of Coils.
Basket-weave coils are of two types,
edge wound, resembling the spiral and
spider-web, or solenoid wound, resem-
bling the coil on a tube. The same
forms may be used for basket weave
as for Lorenz and are illustrated In
Figs. 1 and 2.
In Fig. 1 is shown the most con-
venient form you can have around the
work table. 1t is center disk with Is
cylindrical spokes. The made-up form
may be purchased complete. 1t may
be made from sawed-off piece of
curtain rod and Is spokes. The spokes
must be removable, however. There
must be an odd number of them and
they can be any material, as can the
center. Thirteen is just a convenient,
lucky number.
In winding the edgewise basket
weave the wire will go over one spoke
and under the next, over and under
one spoke at time. The resulting
coil will be latticework effect SIM

The Winding.
In winding the Lorenz coil, go over
two spokes and under two over and
under two at time continually. Be
cause there is an odd number, you will
continually shift the starting point for
each turn, as shown at the left Of Fig.
1. While both first and second turns
start by going over spoke A, one goes
over and one goes under spoke B.
This is because Of the odd number of
spokes not Invisible by two. The re-

What You Should Know
About Drilling Panels

The simplest things in radio are the
ones that are apt to cause the most
trouble. For instance, drilling the
able obstacle to some of the builders
who have never constructed a me-
chanical contrivance in their lives and
who view the brace and bit as tool
Of the master mechanic.
First it is necessary to lay out the
position and size of the holes to be
drilled. Where an instrument is held
in place with two or more setscrews 1t
is best to make half-inch hole for the
center shaft. if the instrument is then
slightly off. it will still turn easily on
it's bearings without binding.
In the cartons containing the instru-
ments are often inclosed templates
showing the spacing of the holes to be
drilled. These should be used when
drilling the holes. If made of paper
they can be pasted directly on the
panel and the holes drilled through
them. The paper is then removed with
wet cloth.
If 1t is necessary to calculate your
own positions, do so by measuring the
distance that one side of the hole is
from the shaft and then the distance
below ii. For instance, rule is laid
against the shaft and touching the set
screw. The reading on the ruler with
one-half the diameter of the shaft. or
an eighth of an inch, will be the dis
lance TO one side. Then by doing this
straight up and down, instead of side
ways, the depth will be found. Now
from the center hole-mark, measura
the proper distance to one side and the
proper depth from there. Mark and
drill. The location of the other hole
or holes may be determined by revers-
ing the procedure.
