GOLDEN RULE SUNDAY

Most of us shudder at thought of
being one without a country. but
what of destitute orphans without a
country, international wards" they
are termed? In 81 countries of the
world last year effort was made to
contribute to the relief OF these
most worthy dependents on the
worlds bounty. the parentless chill
dren of the Near East.
Golden Rule Sunday is the occasion
for the observance; the spirit of the
Golden Rule applies to 1t. the re-
wards of participants in that spirit
may be shared by US; what are we
going to do about it? More than a
million lives have been saved by
means of this relief in the past two
years; shall we now turn back?

as will be noted from the above, that

executive committee is being awaited

A reduction to $3.50 was made last
year and to $3.50 this year 1t is quite
possible that the reduction may be
more than a dollar on thousand next
year.

Where to Look for Your Circuits
When Planning Your Set for the
= At.Ruilding Contest Part l.

One of the most important things,
and, as a matter Of fact, the first i'm
portant thing which must be done be-
fore any work can be started on a
rize-winning set. is to select the cir
cult which you are going to use.
AS I have pointed out before, 1t is
not necessary that you design your
own circuit or discover some entirely
new or revolutionary principle.
The woods are just full of books,
magazines and newspaper radio sec
tions that offer every conceivable type
of circuit. You can run through the
pages Of these publications for the eX-
act data you need on the circuit, Its
constants and details of construction
which will help you In planning your
receiver.
2, Get Books From Library.
Many Of these books can be obtained
from the publishers at nominal cost
and will make worthwhile additions
TO your radio library. If you do not
care to go to the expense of buying
them the chances are that you can
consult them at your public library.
If your local branch does not have
them you may be able to get them at
the main library. If they do not have
the books on their shelves it is about
time you called the fact to their at
tention SO that they will order at
least some Of them. Libraries carry
the books that are in demand, and II
there is a demand for these books
they will get them.

funny story about the constructor-in-

he lived in Washington q few months
ago. Langworthy one day was rigging
up antenna in some trees near his
home and climbed one of them for
that purpose. A peeping Tom had
been annoying the neighborhood, and
the police were looking for him. Dis

trees. they ordered him to come down
and be arrested, confident they had at
