Auditorium Worthy of Nations Capital

Original plans have been amplified
to the point where when completed the
total cost will amount to close to
million dollars, $965,000, to be axact.
This will include the 100000 organ
to be placed in the building, which Is
expected to pay for itself.
The building itself upon its opening
was not in the state which 1t will some
time reach. Although nodded plaster
has been set in, and the walls and CELL
ing adorned with natural architectural
attractions, there will be no paintings,
gliding or decorating on wide
spread scale. This may be attained at
a future date, but the opening night
found the Auditorium in condition to
show without adornment the real
architectural characteristics of the
building.
The largest single unit, of course, is
the theater, with balcony and stage, In
which 5000 can gather to listen to
opera, view great productions or at
tend big conventions. Next in point of
size is the exhibit hall, for which the
entire first floor is set aside, contain
ing $4,000 square feet of floor space,
with arrangements for daylight illu-
mination. Adjoining this han is space
which may be used for temporary or
emergency kitchen and pantry for
large or small entertainments.

Everett Sanders Recalls Old Times

Its like living over school days to
hear from these friends" observed
Sanders as he picked up some of the
letters for a second reading.
1t was more than twenty years ago
when Sanders was a student and shoe
clerk. He recalls some incidents of
his shoe-fitting shoe-selling expert
ence.
In those days." commented Mr.. San
ders, .'the women wore long skirts, the
kind that swept the dirt from the
streets. and when they came into
Walsh's store to try on pair of shoes
they were careful to spread their full
skirts over their ankles and feet until
scarcely their big toe was exposed to
view. Some of them were actually so
sensitive they preferred risking bad
fit and corns rather than permitting
the clerk to make certain they were
being fitted for comfort. Actually,
SOME of them would consider 1t often
sive even for the clerk to suggest they
try on the shoes in the store and they
would guess at-their size and take the
shoes home to do their own fitting.

American Money Helping Upbuild Europe

7HE record of foreign borrowing
in the United States in 1924, COM
i piled by the Department of Com
merce, shows that this country is
doing its full share In the financial re-
Mobilization of the world. The gross
volume of foreign securities publicly
offered In the United States in 1924
reached 1,2eS, 1894. Only S132, 902,-
500 of the gross total consisted of Sc
curities issued by corporations solely
on their own credit; the remainder,
81, 075. 1894, representing central
government, provincial or municipal
loans, including corporate issues guar
anteed by government agencies.
This marked increase in foreign Dor
rowing Is attributable to a number of
factors. The interests of American in
vestors in foreign securities has grad
ually increased, as they have become
better educated in the selection of such
investments. The acceptance of the
Dawes plan, and the resulting improve
ment in world conditions, served to
stimulate confidence, while the abnor-
mally low money rates in New York
gave added strength to the outward
flow of capital.
Europe borrowed $567,770, O0O-far

Government Engineers
Facing Radio Problem

Radio engineers of the United States
bureau of standards are facing another
problem in radio.
It's eavesdropping on broadcast con-
certs by telephone.
Getting an effect from the telephone
in a radio receiver isn't new. Radio
is so delicate that the act of picking
up receiver near by, or any other
sound heard through the telephone. has
often been picked up though the radio
ear set.
But the experience of listening in
on a broadcast program through the
telephone receiver. with no radio set
near by, is something new. Telephone
and radio engineers have been puzzling
over the problem for some time.
Reports have come in from various
cities of such occurrences. All de-
scribed the incident almost alike.

After having constructed, torn apart
and rebuilt many kinds of receiving

be permanent fixture. This, however,
was not an easy matter to do, as the
market was saturated with a large as

After careful consideration the set

Combs only, which is the reason for
the six binding posts over the honey
comb mounting. The leads from the
honeycombs, being flexible and having
solder Tugs as terminals, can be easily
disconnected from the posts (connec-
tions being made from the outside),
and the set is ready for experimental
purposes.
If the user desires to try new vario-
coupler which he has just completed
he may do so by connecting the vario-
coupler primary posts to the primary
posts on the set and the varlocoupler
secondary posts TO the secondary posts
on the set. Keeping So closed he will
secure regeneration by tuning the plate
variometer. His primary and Sec
ondary circuits are tuned by means of
the primary and secondary condensers
in the set.
Suppose he now wishes to expert
ment with the much-abused single cir.
cult. Removing his yariOcoupler from
the circuit, he connects buss connec-
ton from primary post No. l to Sec
ondary post No. and one from pri-
mary post No. to secondary post No.

connecting his secondary honeycomb
coil in the circuit or use of an exter-
nal coil. Setting the secondary con-
denser at zero and tuning with the
primary condenser in series. he has his
standard single circuit, using either
tuned plate regeneration or feed back.

binations. Others will suggest them
