Most of us want. money for the
comforts and satisfactions that it
brings. We want it first of all so
that we can provide ourselves with
food, clothing, and shelter. After
that we want it so that we can ac-
quire a certain amount of culture, en-
10y recreations, and provide some
thing against a "rainy day." Our
greatest aUealth, then, consists of
7UEdt aVe can get in exchange for
our money.
The total wealth of the United
States is estimated to have value
of 500 billion dollars, while the total
amount of our money in circulation is
less than S billion dollars. So if any
one had all the money in this coun-
try he would be able to buy up less
than sixtieth part of its real wealth.
Moreover, the larger the quantity of
goods in the world, the more we can
buy with a given amount of money
We should think of money merely
as tool to help us produce or &C
quire things that will satisfy our
wants, and we should think of wealth
as consisting not only of gold and
silver but also of all the other things
to which we attach valne.
We attach value to things only
when they satisfy our wants. The
Eskimos attached no value to coins,
because the white mans money could
satisfy no wants in the frozen Arc
tic.
We cannot increase our total wealth
simply by putting more money into
circulation. If this were so, Russia
and Germany in recent years would
have become the richest countries in
the world, but as you know they
actually became bankrupt.
The only 1Uay to make country
really richer is to produce q larger
quantity of useful things. !;

the growth Of the automobile, the
development Of bus lines and the
progress Of good roads. With this
migration comes an increase in
home ownership.
In 1900. 461 families out Of 1000
owned their own homes in this
country. In 1920. the number had
dropped to 456. Within another
half decade 1t is not unlikely that
the proportion will greatly increase
and 1t would not be surprising II
by that time more than half of our
American families we're home
owners.
The steady march Of thrift edu.

investigation will change greatly
our modes Of livelihood in the next
few years.
Home ownership is one of the
best possible methods Of practicing
thrift. Many a family that never

COBURN NOTES

Lillian Wolfenberger, Professor of
Piano at Westbrook Seminary was
guest pianist in Chapel Wednesday
morning. Miss Wolfenberger is a
pianist of high repute and her
technique is such as to allow her to
interpret her selections from a high
artistic viewpoint. Miss Wolfen-
berger made a hit with the student
body. faculty, and friends with her
pleasing personality as we'll as her
brilliant playing. She is a dis
tinguished musician. Her compost
tions were Irish Tune" from
County Derry by Granger; March

Many outsiders were present at
the concert by Miss Wolfenberger
and it is hoped that in the future
more visitors will take advantage of
these opportunities TO hear the
various artists who play at Coburn
from time to time.

Fire Company
FIGHTS Grass Fire

The fire department answered a
call yesterday afternoon at o'clock
for a grass fire burning at the end
Of Allen road, near Tower r in the
Central Maine Railroad yards. The
chemical truck responded to the
alarm and when the firemen arrived
they saw that the fire was of such
magnitude that they asked for more
help from the Central fire station.
A line of hose was laid from a
hydrant more than 200 yards distant
from the fire and shortly after the
water had been turned on the blaze
was ouenched. Although no great
damage was done Tower B. an oil
storage tank and several cars were
at times endangered.

Sprinqtime and Adventure

A very ancient Irish poet wrote Of
the spring:
"a wild longing comes upon one
to race horses"
The same longing still comes with
the spring. 1t is not only that the
earth thrills anew to the promise Of
the sun-the mind is equally thrilled
and does seem to awaken. and to
look as adventurously abroad as the
body does. or as the still withered,
but hopeful trees and earth and ami
mails do. If all that is. is but mode
OF mind. then the seasonable chang
es are more competently true in IL
mental than in a material realm. and
winter and summer of the mind it
self should be verable-James

Yesterday that the city of Waterville
had received $15,9S7 from the state
government to be used in state aid
road work this year. The money will
be spent in constructing a macadam
road from what is known as the up
per crossing on College avenue to
Highwood street, quite near the Fair
fed town line. This will make the
main highway between this city and
Fairfield wholly macadamized and
this win " an improvement greatly
appreciated by motorists. The work
Of building the road is to start as
soon Is possible and it is expected
that the task will be completed by

How to Design Your Own Circuits
Part L.

One OF the most interesting phases
of radio work for the amateur is the
designing of his own circuits and ap-
paratus.
1t is a simple enough matter to
take a circuit that has been designed
by some one else, use all the con-
stants that he specifies and build the
set exactly according TO his specifi-
cations, but a great deal more salts
faction can be obtained by doing all
the design work yourself.
The fundamental relations which
govern the design of radio apparatus
and circuits are not very difficult 70
master; not nearly as hard as some
fans believe them to be-
Any radio circuit can be resolved
into terms of inductance, capacity
and resistance, and the various ele
ments of a circuit can be calculated
very easily from the data which Is
usually available without going to
unnecessary expense in the way OF
costly testing instruments.
The most elementary relationship
in radio circuits, yet one of the most
important ones. Is that which exists
between the elements of voltage,
amperage and resistance in a circuit.
This relationship is governed by a
very simple formula as follows: L
equals IR where T. stands for the
electromotive force, commonly known
as voltage in terms of volts; / stands
for the current commonly known as
arnperage in the circuit in amperes
and r stands for the resistance in
the circuit in terms of ohms.

Noted Authority on Radio.

1t Is usually rather difficult to re-
member the various formulae for the
different elements such as resistance,
voltage and amperage so that the
most simple method OF getting them
is to remember the funda mental re-
lationship and evolve the others
quickly as they become necessary.
II you remember the formula as f
equals IR the relationship is very
easy because the symbols follow each
other in alphabetical order.
IL is then an easy matter to get
any of the other constants such as I
or r by a simple process of dividing
both sides of the equation by the un-
desired constant
II you want the formula in terms
of resistance, r, we divide both sides
by | and get E divided by I equals r.
If we want the formula in terms of
l. we divide both sides by r and get
L divided by r equals I.
To get correct results you should
always remember that the quantities
must always be in terms of volts,
amperes and ohms. In some cases
the quantities are not given in those
terms. You may find for instance
that instead OF ohms, megohms are
used. That instead OF amperes. the
constant is given in terms of milliam-
peres, or micro amperes, and that in
terms of kilovoIts
In such cases the relation of volt
age. amperage and resistance still
holds true, but the amounts must be
reduced to those used in the formula
before any calculation is attempted
If this is not done your results will
be wrong and your work in vain.
