In the accompanying diagram. /

for the purpose of flashing the fila

sary are the two leads from the fla
ment posts of the socket connected in
series with rheostat and 6-volt
battery. AS to the time required for
flashing, suggest that those who try
this process to impress the full six
volts across the filament for about
one minute, and then by means of the
rheostat reduce the voltage until the
filament burns at normal brilliancy.
Then allow the filament to burn for
a period of II hours or more. If
the tube is still found to be inactive
after this treatment, it may be

Meeting a 221a-volt B battery to its

others having a thoriated type of fila

To Prevent Leakage Of
Audio, Radio Currents

Bypass condensers are now used
largely in the more efficient types Of
receivers. Their work is to prevent
the leakage of the audio and radio
frequency currents into parts of the
circuit where they would cause trou-
BILE, or in other words, to confine these
freQuencies to their proper place in
the circuit.
Usually the bypass condensers are
placed across the positive B and the
negative filaments. These condensers
must not only be. able to stand a
short-circuit test, but must stand a
leakage test also. If one Of the by
pass condensers is leaking, 1t will
allow B battery current to flow
through the circuit all the time, and
will not only drain the B battery
very rapidly, but will also ruin the
tubes.
To make a leakage test, first con-
meet up two 45-volt B batteries, so

TRIxIE

TRIXIE is not merely the colloquial

orally supposed. In fact, Trixie was
In vogue in England before Beatrice
was used as feminine proper name
1t comes, of course. from the Italian
beator, meaning "blesser" and came
into existence through Beatrix, which
sprang full-grown and without ante
cedent into the usage of Diocletian's
time, when a Christian maiden, so
called, was martyred and her relics
later enshrined in church at Rome.
Beatrix became almost national
name in Italy, and England quickly
acquired it, cut off the first three let
tiers, in many instances and evolved
the endearment, Trix. Shakespeare
took the same name, changed the end
ing and called his high-spirited he

WITCHES

TT APPEARS as if the belief In
L witches would never die out. Only
a short time ago in New York police
court a woman exhibited to the judge
a child with wasted limbs and accused
another woman present of having be-
witched 1t. This superstition has ex-
listed from remotest times in all coun-
tries and among all races.
At times it has taken on a terrible
form-that of an epidemic-and ragged
with virulence; as in England in the
days of James l and in New England
in the days of Cotton Mather Among
English-speaking people female
witches have ever been more common
than male; which that Learned fool"
King James, in his notable work on
witchcraft, accounts for by saying that
women being the weaker sex are more
easily led astray by the devil.
The family tree of tie witch extends
back to the Witch of Endor and far
beyond her into the time of mans
first attempt to comprehend the phe-
nomena by which he found himself
surrounded. 1t was very natural that
primitive man should attribute super
natural powers to those who surpassed
or perplexed him by superior knowl-
edge or by peculiarities Of person or
conduct. 1t is human nature to be
awed by things we cannot comprehend
and to be suspicious of persons and
things of q sinister appearance What

Defective Tube Will
Make Radio Set Howl

At times the five-tube radio receiver
will howl with an intense note, ire
spective of whether the receiver is
tuned to a particular station or not.
The howl Is due to a defective tube
In the audio frequency portion of the
receiver. 1t can be remedied by sub
stituting new tube or by interchang-
ing the tubes among themselves. Gen.
orally the tube will be found faulty
with this trouble.
One of the chief causes for tubes
becoming imperative after use for
some time is the excessive filament
current to which they are sometimes
subjected Rheostats are put into the
receiver to regulate the filament cur
rent of the vacuum tubes and should
be adjusted so that the maximum sig
nails are obtained with a minimum
amount of filament current. 1t is a
well-established fact that when the

PEANUTS AS FOOD

NAMES do not always carry a cor
rect impression. AS has often
been said guinea pig is so-called be-
cause he is not pig and does not
come from Guinea. Otherwise, the
name is entirely correct In the same
way, as Mr.. J. p. Rich points out in the
Retailers Journal, peanut is so-called
because it isn't nut. 1t belongs to
the same botanical family as the pea
and the bean. The shell is exactly the
same as the pea shell or the husk Of
the bean. So the peanut belongs to the
class of vegetables rather than nuts.
This is recognized in many parts OF
the South, where the peanut is grown
In large quantities and where it Is
locally known as a "goOber pea"
much more correct name than its pop.
ular and more widely known one.
Most people think of peanuts in con-
nection with circuses and picnics, as
means of entertainment rather than as
food, just as most people think or
candy. Yet peanuts, like peas and
beans, are highly concentrated food.
They contain more fat and less starch
than do the other members of the pea
family but they have just as much pro-
tein, or muscle building food proper
ties. In this quality, they excel most
of the other vegetables. Few vege-
tables contain more than 10 or 10 per
cent of proteins while peanuts contain
over 80 per cent.
Peanuts, therefore, are a valuable
and highly concentrated food product
and they also have the advantage OF
being very cheap food.
Like all vegetables, they are only
fit to eat when they are thoroughly
ripe. They also are much more
nutritious when cooked than they are
raw.
Peanuts have a reputation of being
indigestible. This is probably because
they are improperly prepared and are
often eaten in large quantities after
heavy meal, between meals or late at
night. If properly prepared, eaten like
any other food and thoroughly chewed,
they are not at all indigestible and
form a valuable and nutritious food.
The best method of cooking peanuts
is roasting in the shell. They should
be roasted until the peanut itself is a
light brown. This is the earliest
method of cooking and is the best.
Peanuts are easily and cheaply
grown, they can be kept for long
periods; they can be used in many
forms, as peanut butter. meal or flour;
they are convenient food for school
children and they form satisfactory
substitute for meat. But they must be
used intelligently, like any other food.

PRESERVING FOOD BY
DRYING

FRYING is one of the earliest meth
IL DDS used for preserving foods for
man. Primitive races early learned
that meats, fruits and vegetables ex-
posed to the sun in a dry climate
would have all the moisture removed
from them by evaporation and that
such dried foods would keep indefi-
nitely without decay so long as they
were kept dry. The Arabs have used
dried dates and figs for centuries. The
Indians, whom the explorers found on
this continent, had learned to cut their
meat of deer bear and other animals
in long strips and hang it over the
branches of trees to dry, or to hang it
over green willow rods to dry in the
The cattle that these European voy-
ayers turned loose on this continent
rapidly increased in numbers and
formed a new food supply. The natives
of Central America cut the beef in long
strips and dried it. This was called
bouccan. SO when the later adven-
turers and sea rovers were out of food
they put into one of the numerous
West Indian islands to bouccan or dry
their beef and as this was one of their
main food supplies, they were called
bouccaneers, or dried beef eaters, from
which comes our present-day bucca-
neers or pirates.
Drying meat over wood ire not
only preserves it but the hardwood
smoke, being full of creosote, also adds
a peculiar flavor. This method is used
today in drying and curing herring,
finnan haddie, hams. bacon and other
meats.
1t is only in recent years that dry
ing has been used on a large scale. To
than ever before. AS Doctor Young.
kens of Philadelphia points out in an
article in a recent issue of the Scien-
tific Monthly, there are objections to
canning which do not apply to drying.
The first Is that canning makes ir
necessary to use heat to sterilize the
food, and heat, in many cases, de-
stroys the vitamins. The second is the
expense, not only of glass or tin cans,
both OF which are increasing in cost.
but also the freight due to the in
creased bulk of the goods. A large
percentage of can of fruit or vege-
tables is water.
Drying reduces the bulk, Is much
less expensive, does not destroy the
vitamins and makes it possible to save
large amounts of food which would
otherwise go to waste. Dried fruits
and vegetables regain their natural
appearance, odor and taste when pre-
pared for use.
There are every year, in some part
of the country, enormous surplus crops
of fruits and vegetables that can be
dried and shipped or stored in COM
pact form until they can be used as
needed for food.
