There Is much to be said for the suit
which ushers in the fashionable days
OF early winter and fall. 1t possesses
all the features which will dominate
the coming winter time. The silhou-
cite is firmly established, fabrics are
known and furs are also important
in creating chic.
To begin with, there are two de-
cided types of suits The suits for
sports may be dismissed with but a
Few words The informal suit boasts
short jacket and a straight silhou-
cite. All fabrics of the simple kind
are used in the suit for mornings and
furs of the flat-haired type are used
with greatest success. In the after
noon. the suit seeks variety and finds
it in lines of great originality and
charm.
While the conservative silhouette
Is the pronounced favorite, it permits
many variations. There is the
Strengthened coat using a rich fox
SCARF FOR a collar, or adding to its
smartness by carrying the fur well
down to the hem and also celebrating
the cuff of the set-in sleeve. The
frock which accompanies this coat
may be either one or two piece and
use an entirely different fabric. but
OF the same color.
The straight-line coat in a three
quarter model is also seen. It. too.
gives simple silhouette and carries
fur down the front for trimming most
often. The frock which accompanies
this coat is usually of the same fabric
and of a one-piece type in youthful
outline.
The flared coat is also seen in the
smart ensemble. It's coat gently but
surely departs from the straight line
at the shoulder and terminates in a
decided flare at the hem. Outstanding
fur collars and exceedingly we'll furred
cuffs are examples of chic in this
type of coat Fur may or may not be
used at the border. Some coats
achieve smartness without it while
other models use fur in very wide
bands about the bottom. The TERED
Silhouette is new this season. Coats
which possess a series of tiers from
top to bottom and finish with a huge
outstanding collar of fur are much ia
vored.
The dolman sleeve is also an i'm.
portant point in many of the newest
coats. 1t is decidedly modish and
brings a note of Partisan chic to the
coats which are seen about town.

SAYS RED GRANGE AND HIS PLAYERS

NEW YORK, Feb, eff Cred
Grange and his Grahgers invade the
professional football field here next

cording to Tim Mara, director and
principal backcr of the New York

Nickel Mara said. "But we are
in better position to survive As We
are in an organized league and any
other team that invadcs our terri

1t is the general opinion that
New lork-not having the zest o.

football--hardly will support two
teams for manly wears.
1t is generally admitted fact
that the New York promoters were
running behind until Grange came
in with the Chicago Bears for the
last game of the season and pulled
them out of the hole.
New York sportsmcn believe that
Grange could outdraw the Giants in
games against teams like the one
that Wildcat Wilson is said to
be organizing on the Pacific coast
but there are few such teams avail
able outside the organization.

BASEBALL CHIEFS

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9. With
the leagues policy toward the re-
employment of Judge X. M. Landis
as lord high executioncr of base
ball, the resin ball and the approval
of schedule the main questions for
discussion, the schedule meeting of
the American league opened here to-
day.
Ban johnson, American league
president, was on hand yesterday
for the preliminary gossiping among
the magnatcs. He said that the
meeting would talk over the resin
ball, which the National league has
approved, but il was predicted that
Clark Griffith of Washington would
fight its approval and that he could
gain enough support to prevent its
adoption.
Griffith is said TO oppose the
proposition of the National league
to renew Landis contract for a long
term at $4,000 annual salary and
TO regard il as an unfricndly act
towards the American league.

good meter will take .O75 ampers,
which would be large percentage Of
the normal current Of "B" battery, It
is not well to leave the meter in cir
cult.
The bearing in which the needle
swings Is another important factor in
a meter, for a poor bearing means that
extra current will be required in the
coil to swing the needle.
The better meters. therefore, have
more turns in their coils and better
bearing than. the cheaper type, all for
the purpose of keeping the current at
a minimum and the efficiency high.
High efficiency also means correct in
dication and that Is what we use me-
tiers to get.

passed into G, it is seen that the me-
ter connected to c will not operate
correctly due to the insufficient sup

''Truphonic" Audio System
Uses a Grid Impedance

The years one new idea in quality
audio application is the 'truphonic"
system, which makes use of grid I'M
pedance coil.
When a transformer is used, the
grid potential has to be kept negative.
AS soon as the grid goes positive. there
is a partly shortened circuit in the
secondary of the transformer and
temporary reduction Of the magnetic
coupling. The result is distortion.
The "truphonic" system has been
developed and magnetic coupling has
been eliminated. In the diagram is
illustrated the figure 81 Elimination

coils, plate and grid. are mounted on
the same lamination. Through the

not changed by grid currents. Conse-
quently with this system, full utiliza-

RADIO WAVES

Radio tubes are made Of thin glass
and glass breaks easily under shock.
The guy who used to listen in ON
the party line now visits his neighbor
so as to listen in on the radio set.
A loop antenna is supposed to in
tercept maximum signal strength
when it is pointed toward the trans
mitter, but this directional property
is affected by the surroundings.
United States naval stations along
the Atlantic coast have started a reg
ular system for broadcasting weather
reports to aircraft in flight and for
the exchange of weather information
between naval air stations.
When computing the length of the
radio aerial the lead-in should be
counted as part of the length. This
part of the antenna is just as impor-
tant as the part supported in the hori-
zOntal plane.
Because connections have a bad
habit of working loose every effort
should be made to keep them tight,
and, in many cases, they should be
soldered to insure staying tight. A
bad connection either means noisy
set or weak signals.
Binding-post strips should be so ar
ranged that all high-potential termi-
nails are as far apart as possible 1t
is also wise to place the aerial post at
one end Of the strip and the ground
post at the other. In this way. leak
age between terminals will be kept
at a minimum.

Testing Storage Batteries

Storage "a" batteries should never
be tested with an ammeter or a low
resistance voltmeter, as these instru-
ments cause the battery to discharge
at a high rate and as result greatly
reduce the life of the battery. The
hydrometer is the best instrument to
test storage batteries with. When the
battery is fully charged it will reg
lister between 1880 and 1900.
Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise. (Pocomoke City, Md.) 1921-1953, 1926-12-18
Soldering Flux

Only pure resin fiux should be used
for all soldered joints. Tests show
that where acid pastes and compounds
are used they either spatter. fume or
run over surrounding delicate parts.
This causes leakage and reduces re
sistance in a manner comparable to a
grid leak. Therefore, these fluxes
should never be used on radio work.

often many hundreds of miles away.
The lightning flash sets up train Of
