Set Based on What ii Can Do.

The man who buys on looks rather

The appearance of set is very i'm
portant factor in selecting receiver

are going to judge the value of the
set on a basis of what it will do when
you turn the dialS.
The fan who spends lot of money
for good parts and then is in such a
hurry to get the set working that he
hooks it up temporarily" meaning
by that that he scatters the parts any
old way on a panel or Dashboard and
hooks it either in haste, no soldered
joints, no frightened connection, wires
just twisted together for contact, wires
running aimlessly here and there and
back again.
The fan who is such a nut on COM
pactness that he just crowds all the
parts together so that they don't get
a chance to breathe" Proper placing
of parts fairly close together to cut
down the length of leads is important,
but Il little judgment should be exer.
cised when placing unshielded radio
frequency transformers and tuning
units in a set to see that they are not
So close to each other that harmful
interaction between them is the re-

Charger Good Investment.
The fan who waits until his battery
is completely discharged before he re-
charges it. Replacing a storage bat
terry is expensive business. All that
need be done to eliminate such loss is
to purchase a battery charger and
charge the battery frequently. The
purchase of a charger Is one of the
best investments you can make.

spite of many handicaps. but you cam

putting up a good aerial and connect

Ry Radio to The Star and Chicago Daily News.
GENEVA, March 1O.-By agreement
outside the council session 1t has been
arranged not to bring up the Geneva
protocol before Thursday morning,
Austen Chamberlain probably viii ex-
plain the British viewpoint. Mr.
Chamberlain already has received
privately NJ BRAND and other states
men. but it is explained that too much
political Importance should not be at
cached to that fact.
Upon Mr.. Chamberlain's return trip
he will stop at Paris with Premier
Herriot Hence it is morally certain
that the security pact and the proto-
col in their present forms are doomed.
Germany is ready to enter Eu-
ropean agreement both in the shape
of a guarantee pact and the League
of Nations. but Germany feels that
il is too much to ask for guaranty of
her eastern frontiers without certain
alterations being made.
Poles Called Aggressive.
Germany cannot be asked to per-
petuate splitting the Reich into two
parts, partly because the Poles are
showing themselves more and more
aggressive daily to the point where
Poland's outlet to the sea threatens
isolation of millions of Germans from
the fatherland.
The logical way for the Poles and
Germans to get together, the British
think, is by making political and
trade agreements. This should be all
the easier because of the fact that
Germany takes 40 per cent of Poland 8
exports and is, with England and the
United States, the equal financier of
Poland. England finances her timber
exports. The United States finances
her state and city public works. Ger
many finances the Lodz textile indus
try and the iron works in Upper
Silesia.
But the Poles are supersensitive re-
garding anything that threatens the
integrity of their present frontiers,
whether 1t is from the German, Rus
sian or Lithuanian side. AS a Polish
diplomat said to the writer:
Change Declared Risky.
TT would be almost Impossible for
any government in Poland to change
the frontiers one inch
Great Britain does not care to guar
antee the eastern frontiers as now
outlined but Great Britain is not
Poland's enemy, as many Poles think
II seems that Great Britain believes
Poland would be stronger If her
neighbors were friendly
AS British statesman said to the
writer:

cards to see If they need to be shut
ned, SO 1t is too early to predict what
VIII happen. But negotiations will
