What Today Means to You
Capricorn.
BY MARY BLAKE.

Until sundown there is a combina-
tion OF influences that tends to great
mental and physical activity. II this
force be properly controlled by mod
Grafton and conservatism a great deal
OF useful work may be accomplished
in business or along mechanical
lines. Literary efforts are also fa-
vored by the aspects that prevail.
The balance OF the day reveals a
tendency to suspicion and irritability,
Under such influences it is necessary
TO maintain poise and equilibrium,
especially in the home and family
circle, so as to avoid saying or doing
those things that win lead only to
tissenston and qusrreisomeness.
A child born today will during in
fancy show unfailing strength and
vigor. Its childhood will be passed
without any physical setback. but
during the period of adolescence 1t
will be subject to one serious illness
that only loving care and seauious
attention viii be able to combat sue
cessfully. In character il will be Of
a contented, comforS-loving disposi-
tion, but love OF ease viii not inter-

of its duties. 1t will be both capable
and reliable and respected by all its

literature and decidedly q homebody.
Loyalty and devotion to family will
be one OF its outstanding characteris-
tics
If today Is your birthday, you have
the ability to accomplish big things
and should never be satisfied with re-
salts that fall short OF the goal at
tempted. You are not easily discour-
aged. You have n large, sympathetic
heart and the ills OF others worry
you and distress you. You should be
a loving parent and your home life
will be Ideal.
If You have not so far accomplished
as much as you think you ought to
have done, reflection undoubtedly will.
convince you that the cause has been
not your lack Of courage, but want
of perseverance. You conceive great
ideas and go at their execution with
zest and zeal that indicate ultimate
success. Very often, however, just
prior to fruition, just at the moment
when a little more continued effort
would put IL over" you slacken and
turn to something new. Persistency
is the virtue that, above all others,
you should cultivate.

There are two sources of the name
Wendell. One of them is English and
one is Dutch. In the individual case
you will have to decide from some
knowledge Of ancestry as to which
explanation applies.
Wandle is the name of river in
Surrey, and nothing would be more
natural than the development in
many cases of family named based
upon it, as indicating the place from
which the first bearers had come, or

with which they were identified in
some peculiar way.
Records prove, however, that in a
great many instances this family
name is. not from English, but from
Dutch sources. And in this case it
represents shortened form of the
Dutch word "wandelaar" which sig
nfied literally a walker" ffgura-
lively and more generally a traveller,
or one who has been a traveller. In
this case the original descriptive
form of the surname would have been

this de with the Norman-French

development from the Latin de"

Gates for Staixways.
Adults as well az childrea fall down
stairs sometimes breaking their legs OF
hips, because some back stairway is left
open. Probably the staircase comes next
to the bathroom door or one leading into
a chamber, and the distance Is mis-
calculated or a wrong turn is made
and the fall results. A gate across
the opening would guard against
such accidents.
This little glimpse OF home acci-
dents indicates the unfortunate re-
suits of lack of precaution. It also
shows how easily each could have
been prevented.

opment of MULTITUDE Reflex
Circuits. Part i.

Development of Multitude Reflex
Circuits. Part I.
In spite of the formidable array of
connections met with in reflex cir
cults and the extraordinary efficiency
Of the circuits, the principles under
lying their action and the manner In
which the parts are connected
together are really very simple. If
the fundamental principles of the
theory of reflex circuits are mastered
and this theory Is by no means as
hard as you might imagine, the &C
tuai work of drawing the circuits
and making the necessary connec-
lions resolves itself into a simple
procedure Of piecing the elements
together step by step In their logical
sequence.
The first step is to master the ele-
ments of various reflex circuits of
one to Ave tubes by studying the
functional diagrams of such receivers.
The fact that two receivers have the
same number of tubes does not neces-
sarily mean that both circuits are
Identical or even similar because the
number of arrangements which are
possible with given number of
tubes are many and varied.
The circuit arrangement for a
given number Of tubes will depend to
a great extent on the results you
want to get from the given number
OF tubes. 1t will depend on whether
you are going to go after distance or
want to get plenty of volume,
whether you want to use the set
with a large outdoor aerial, a small
indoor aerial or a loop aerial

true to a greater extent with reflex
circuits.
Another point which must be con-
sidered is that of ease of construc-
ton and simplicity of operation.

which give US various qualities such
as ability to tune through local in
reference; ability to get DIX or long
distance stations; adaptability to use
with short aerial or with a loop
aerial; good tone quality; great vol

To cut through local stations q re-

tion and preferably two stages of

The qualities which enable a re-

also In a large measure determine
the distance getting qualities of a
receiver so that we may say that a
set which employs at least one and
preferably two stages Of tuned radio
frequency amplification is the type
which is most likely to give US dis
