Summer Fashion Hints of Interest to Women

Evening wraps and coats Of geor-
gette crepe are trimmed around the
hem with bands OF clipped ostrif
feathers. A few are fur-triinrled
Quite the loveliest Of oil the gowns
for restaurant wear are those made OF
sheer black lace with long sleeves
Some have floating capes of the lace
some smart little aprons, while still
others have tunics of black, satin over
the lace itself.
Small felt hats that have designs of
contrasting felt cut our or applied to
the surface are smart and becoming.
These hats have the added advantage
of packing in overnight bag or pocket
without crushing.
A dancing frock of much charm has
wide bOuffant skirts of many layers OF
green tule in two shades and plain
little tight-ftting bodice Huge cab
bage roses adorn the front of the belt
and the right side of the skirt.
Shaded ribbon forms new scarf
that is most unusual. The scarf Is
held at the throat with two or three
cocardes of ribbon of the same shade
and the ends fall over the right shoul-
der.

Satisfactory improvements in Radio

share of the losses, due to the dis
tributed capacity and coil support
losses, had been eliminated
The Final Coll Developed.
Over two hundred coils were built
up in this manner in search of the
proper diameter, size of wire. and
general overall dimensions of the
coil, consistent with low losses and
efficient inductance. The coils held
together with string proved to be too
fiimsy for practical USE so a form
was designed to hold the winding.
made of material that did not add
to the capacity of the coil.
Now that the indentations in the
winding for allowing string to be
threaded through to hold the wires
together were no longer necessary. 1t
was found that they were responsible
for the low distributed capacity
losses and the high performance of
the coils. Without indenting the
windings, 1t was necessary to sepa-
rate the wires further apart, result
ing in larger and more impractical
coil, with magnetic field losses.
The final coil developed, the low.
loss doughnut coil, has the wires in
dented all around. Special COM
plicated machines had to he developed
and perfectee to accomplish this. The
coil Is rigidsy held in an attractive
holder.

From tiny little boutonnieres to
large flowers for the corsage, they are
made entirely of feathers, and the ef-

Lovely overhOuses of printed geor-
gette are worn over plain skirts. These
overblouses are quite long and are
most summery looking.
Every summer sees recurrence of
the ever attractive field flowers in de-
sign. This year they appear in all
their glory as wide border upon
black chiffon lingerie. The little gar
ments are plped in poppy red and gay
little ribbons of the same shade carry
out the color note.
TO wear over Il simple frock of flesh
pink damask or fiat crepe, nothing
could be smarter than a coat of taffeta
with quilting done ON the coat itself
as well as the collar and cuffs. IE

Don't leave what you were going

'Well,' the Crowned Crane con-
tinued, "as | said l hate to appear

another crane as beautiful as l am.
There, there" he added, shaking
his head, 81 did not mean to say just

asked the Paradise Crane.
"Yes, why did you?" asked the Ash
attic White Crane. IL certainly would
like to enter the conversation at this
point and ask that question also"

the Crowned Crane, you don't speak

ing races"
But l did speak of entering talks.
and | didn't speak of entering races"
said the Asiatic White Crane, looking
very much puzzled.
Il meant to say" the Crowned Crane
remarked, that you shouldn't speak of
entering talks but that you should only
speak Of entering races"
IL wouldn't correct creatures if l
couldn't do better than you do" said
the Asiatic White Crane, standing very
straight and looking quite, quite
naughty and proud.
"And you said something at first that
you didn't mean to say" the Paradise
Crane added.
Now the Asiatic White Crane came
from Asia as it is quite easy to guess
while the Paradise Crane and the
Crowned Crane came from Africa.
81 meant to say" the Crowned Crane
answered, "that my family was the
most beautiful family of cranes.
Il didn't mean to say that was
the most beautiful.
81 belong to a family of beautiful
birds. We have such glorious, royal
coloring and we wear such handsome
crowns of beautiful feathers.
But you're pretty Crane young
Asiatic, and so are you, Paradise
Crane, with your blue feathers"
THANK you, thank you," the other
cranes said, but we will have to ad.
nit that though you do some very
foolish talking and have to stop to
correct yourself while you are correct
ing us, you do belong to the family
known as the most beautiful of all the
cranes in the zoo or in the world"

BY FRANK REIcHMANN, 3. S.. E. M.

D.. D., l..
Improvement in apparatus, rather
than new and revolutionary circuits,
Is responsible for the rapid increase
In efficiency of our radio receivers.
This is accomplished by the elimina-
tion of losses, balancing up of cir
cults, and the confning of straying
capacities, improvements that are the
result of months of experimentation
and practical test work on the part
of farseeing radio engineers, and very
rarely stumbled upon or accidentally
discovered
The latest radio improvement, the
Reichmann doughnut coil, may at
first glance seem to be the result
of a few minutes playing with a coil
of wire and a broomstick. The real
facts of the case are that the coil
Is the product of six months inten-
sive work on the part of three radio
engineers seeking a new type of in
ductance that would be free from the
drawbacks commonly associated with
coils.
correets Loss of Energy.
In ordinary layer-wound coils a con-
siderable loss of energy takes place,
due to the fact that, through a con-
denser action, the current tends to
travel between adjacent wires as we'll
as through the conductor itself. This
condenser action is due to the self
or distributed" capacity of the coil,
caused by the paralleling of the con-
ductors. In the low-loss and honey
comb-col type of windings, this is
remedied to a certain extent by run
ming the wires at right angles to each
other and crossing at intervals.
The first experimental coil form was
made by cutting out circle of card
board with little protruding tabs on
the inside and outside edges. A mar
row strip of pasteboard was bent
around in the form of circle and
pasted on each side of the fiat circle.
The original idea was to wind the
wire around the form, hooking it over
the tabs at intervals. When this coil
was constructed and tested, it was
found to be no better than present
coils, due to the fact that the wires
ran parallel 10 quite an extent, max
ing the distributed capacity of the
coil high.
The next attempt was made by wind
ing the wire around the form, disre-
garding the protruding tabs, so as to
make closed coil. supported by the
four edges of the cardboard strips
This coil was an Improvement, so
larger forms were tried and 1t was
decided to continue to experiment
with this type Of coil.
Winding the wire over and over the
circular form by hand became rather
laborious, so one of the engineers
tried winding the coil on a straight
form, then removing and bending the
coil in a circle to form a lOroid coil
1t was difficult to keep the wires in
place with this method, so he tried
pushing the wire in at every other
face of the winding form with his
thumb nail. so that string could he
threaded through the indentations
and so hold the coil together when
the form was removed Measurements
of this coil showed decided improves
ment over other types, as the greater
