IF there Is an open stairway Of
the Colonial type in the hall,
- it Is highly desirable to paint
and decorate both stairway and
hall in true Colonial fashion. Most
households have a few Colonial
pieces-not enough to furnish an
entire house, or even one of the
larger rooms, perhaps-but enough
to make a quaint and dignifed
Colonial hall if they are assembled
together.
The necessary alterations are
not very expensive and improve
the atmosphere of the home out Of
all proportion to their cost, since
the first impression of a home. is
the impression its hallway gives.

The main reason for a tapped pri-
mary winding on the tuning coil was
to make 1t possible to adjust the coil
to best advantage for any particular
antenna. Better results in selectivity
will be obtained with a long antenna
If the number Of turns on the primary
winding is cut down to a minimum
This adjustment was obtained by
means of tnductance switches. In the
effort to simplify and standardize cir
cults engineers have found that two or
at most three taps will take care of
all these adjustments and, accordingly,
where antenna circuits are tapped only
three taps are used, as shown in
Fig. 1.
When a short aerial is used and a
maximum transfer Of energy from an
tenna to grid circuit Is required, the
antenna Is connected with tap termi-
nal "A" which includes a compara-
lively large portion of the antennl coil
between the antenna and ground
When longer antenna is used, the
antenna can be attached to terminal
"B," while when Il long aerial is used
the connection is made with terminal

In some circuits single tap alone
Is used, and greater selectivity with a.
long antenna is accomplished by in
sorting a fixed condenser in the aerial
circuit, IS shown in Fig. ..
In this case a short antenna is
attached direct with the coil by con-

Our young people know little or
nothing of the great social and
economic detectives of the Prohibit
ton policy and are in ignorance of
the blessings which have proceeded
from the law because they have had
no experience of the horrors of the
licensed liquor traffic.
THE duties of the Board of Tenn
perance, Prohibition and Public
Morals of our church are clearly
defined and are well known We
are, perhaps. carrying on more gen.
eral educational work. than any
similar agency.
I'VE earnestly desire to serve the
church adequately in this crisis. Our
resources are pitifully small, but we
feel that we must add an enlarged
program. of education within the
church to our undertakings for 1926.
I'VE want every Sunday School in
the church to participate in an or
ganiZed study of this question. A
textbook of elective lessons on the
liquor problem will be issued short
ly by the Book Concern as a church
school publication" he said.
