IN hdQIO WOrIo.
The three-tube set shown in the
diagram is a standby that brings in
all the local stations with loud speak
er volume of moderate intensity but
wonderful quality. Utmost simplicity
of operation consistent with satisfac-
tory selectivity, greatest purity of
tone Obtainable with standard parts.
and strictest economy of operation
were the objects sought.
To obtain simplicity of operation a
two tuned circuits. For selectivity a
low-loss tuning coil was used In the
radio-frequency amplifier and this
stage was made regenerative. A
crystal detectOr and two highgrade
audio-frequency transformers were Sc
lected.t For economy of operation dry
cell tubes were employed.
Winding the Coils.
The coils 10, Ii, T are the three
winding Of standard three-circuit
tuner. 1t may be any of a number Of
low-loss coils on the market. Ii and
L3 constitute a homemade radio-fre-
quency transformer. The core is l.
inch diameter birch dowel l inch long
This Is made into spool by cement
ing two insulating washers IL inches
in diameter to the two ends. The pri-
mary winding LIB is wound next to
the core and it consists of 20 turns
Of No. SO double cotton-covered wire.
This winding is covered with several
layers of heavy wrapping paper. Then
on top of this Is wound the secondary
LIZ, consisting of 90 turns of the same
/ kind Of wire. The secondary is wound
in two layers since the wire used
winds about 70 turns to the inch.
The two layers were separated from
each other in the same manner as
were the two windings. A protective
layer Of mending tape was put over
the secondary. The terminals of the
two windings were brought out to
small wood screws fastened in the
ends of the wooden core and these
were timed for soldering connections.
The transformer LIZ, L3 may be wound
with heavier wire, or it may even be
a low-loss RF tuning unit. In that
case more room will be needed on the
front cover.
Coil Adjustment.
1t will be necessary to adjust the
two coils so that the two tuned cir
cults Ii and Ii are in resonance with
the same wave at some setting of the
double condenser. This Is best done
by putting more turns on LIZ than
necessary and then removing a turn
at time until given signal is loud
est In the present set the final adj
justment left 90 turns on LIZ.
How Panel Is Arranged.
At the lower left corner of the
panel are the two binding posts for
antenna and ground. Symmetrically
placed in the right-hand corner are the
two jacks. The single main control
Is in the center, which actuates the
rotor of the double condenser. On
the left of the main control is the
knob controlling the ticker and on

1t was also customary at that time
to call small images of the Blessed

u)HO, SAID
"A Jealous man always
finds more than he looks
. for"

M ADELAINE DE SCUDERI, the
Iva French romanticist, was the au-
thor of these words which sound al
most ominous in their propheticalness.
Madelaine de Scuderi (1607-1701)
was a writer of romances that were
unfortunately long and boring. Her
best known works are "Artameme on
lie grand Cyrus" ''Ibrahim ou rIllustre
Bassa," "Clelie," and "Almahide." All
achieved great popularity in their day.
The writings of this woman. who
was considered one of the leading lit
erary figures Of her day, owed their
popularity to the fact that they were
remarkably true descriptions of the
time and of the people living when
she did.
For this reason the books of Mile.
Scuderi had a remarkable circulation
among those living at the time they
were written, but to this same reason
can be attributed their failure to be
popular at the present time. They do
not portray so much types of human
nature as they describe individuals
who lived at that time, and thus have
little application to the present day.
In her day Mile. Scuderi was con-
spicuous figure in the literary circle
that congregated at the Hotel RAM
bouillet in Paris. These gatherings
were later broken up when the trouble
with the Fronde occurred and Mile.
Scuderi and her literary circle moved
to her own house. The Fronde was
party in French politics which caused
considerable disturbance during the mi
nority of the reign of Louis Nv. They
J opposed the dominance of the courtiers
and the wealthy.

Not Comet. but Planet

The Tempel-Swift comet is still far
away from the earth, and the object
sighted on June % by NJ Delporte, a
European astronomer, and supposed
to be the comet, Is in reality q tiny
planet, Amphitrite, which has been
known to astronomers for many years.
This statement is made by DR.. Edwin
B. Frost, director of the Yerkes OBJ
servatory, as result of photographs
made of the object by DR.. George Van
Biesbroeck Of the observatory staff.
"Delporte probably photographed
the moving object while searching for
the Tempel-Swift comet" said Doctor
Frost. Later computations which we
have received from England, however,
indicate that perturbations by Jupiter
will delay the return of that comet
until next year."

WISHING ON A RING

A SUPERSTITIOUS custom prevail
"A ing widely at the present day Is
that of wishing on" ring.
Probably you all have, when you
were children, performed this magic
rite. You take a ring from your own
hand and place 1t on the finger of a
companion, preferably one of the op-
posite sex, and wish at the same time.
The ring must not be removed until
the "wisher" gives permission. If these
conditions are fulfilled your wish will
"come true"
We have here an echo of the old
legends and superstitions of the East
which ascribed to certain rings power

Pose of T;midity

The late Anatole France said to his
press agent before starting on lee
ture tour: II want you to work up a
reputation for me. | don't know that
am particularly timid. but should
like to be thought so. A timid man
can do anything. If he is silent when
he ought to speak people say. How
charming! He's so tfmid, you know.
A timid man can dare so much with
sweet impunity. SO please tell all the
people in advance that ! am timid."

fulfilled for them.
Solomon is said to have had such a
ring and such ring was given to
Aladdin. That's where the wish part
comes in.
Now the most powerful ring of

had any actual experience was the
monarch's signet ring which he placed
upon the finger of the man whom he
sent forth to do his (the monarch's)
will. So when we wish on" ring we

scious barking back to the powers of
the rings Of Solomon and Aladdin.

taught in times past that it was
poisonous, will be found good in
bread, griddle cakes and gravy.
When cooking such succulent greens
as spinach, no water is used, but any
drained off should be used in the food
for the family.
When cooking any of the green
vegetables that grow above ground
do not add salt until they are nearly
ready to serve, as it toughens the fiber
and makes them less digestible.
When peas or corn lack sweetness a
teaspoonful Of sugar added to the ket-
