they check backgrounds, pore over account
books and work hand in hand with the police.

and never testify in court. Reason is that

used for hard-to-start machines such
as the cream separators, feed grind
ers and ensilage cutters. It costs more
than the capacitor motor.
The direction of rotation of the
split-phase and capacitor motors can
be reversed by changing the leads.
The repulsion-induction motor rota-
ton can be reversed by changing the
position of the brushes.
The universal motor is designed
for vacuum cleaners, fans and cleo
trio drills. It will operate on either
direct or alternating current. Its
speed will vary with the load. It will
run dangerously fast without a load.
That is why it is generally attached
permanently to the machine it
drives.
The name plates on motors gener-
ally tell the type. Capacitor motors
are the only ones which have the
cylindrical container on top. Some
don't but most generally have the
name "capacitor' on the name plate.
The repulsion-induction motors all
have brushes similar to those in an
automobile generator.
The universal motor has brushes
and commutator. Also the name
plate will have universal" or AC-
DC on it.
Motors which do not have the fea-
lures of the capacitor or the repul-
sion-induction, are almost certain to
be split-phase.

Many women think Of perfume
as something to use on special oc-
casions only, while other women
leave it entirely alone because they
have been so antagonized by the
overpowering aroma Of perfume
used incorrectly.
Gone are the days when one
perfume was correlated with one
person. That habit was rather
convenient. because if you came
into a room and shifted, you i'm
mediately knew who was in the
house, and could stay or leave as
you wished. The modern woman
may have her favorite perfume
but she has several others, too.
There are scents which are ap-
propriate for one occasion and not
for another, just as one costume
Is to be used at one time and an
other on some other occasion. The
rich, heavy, exotic aromas should
be combined with the more formal
evening affairs or at least with
gala dressup times. Even then
you should not use too much. Per-
fume should be subtle.
A surprising result has been OBJ
tanned by q survey among men as

to how they like perfume. The
large majority do. The majority
even said they like it in the office
with reservations, in other words
if you use the right kind.
It has been suggested that you
imagine the occasion and the
clothes you will be wearing and
then choose your scent. There are
many light spicy, woody, fresh
perfumes which are good for day
time use. Perfumes should be Sc
lected for the occasion than for
the personality. That is the latest
idea and 1t seems logical and
sound.
In the first place, you are a per-
son Of many moods. You may
leave home in the morning and
your mood may change before you
get downtown. You may come
home at night and your mood may
change ten times within the hour
after putting your foot inside the
front door. This would be very
tiring-dashing back and forth to
the perfume bottles, and after a
few changes you would smell like
flower garden or q funeral home.
Use the appropriate scent for
the occasion and let your moods
fall where they may.

were developed during World
War I, and during that war. one
man was arrested by the Shore
Patrol on the Boardwalk at At
lantic City on suspicion of being
an enemy spy. on the assumption
that his portable hearing aid con-
tanned either a camera or a wire
less set.
The late 193Os and the early
'40s saw a revolution in hearing
aids, and through World War II
developments in electronics were
Irevolutionized considerably again.
IStreamlined vacuum tube hearing
aids replaced TIE bulky, scratchy-
toned carbon type.
This modern hearing aid is
composed of three parts-the
microphone, the vacuum tube
amplifier, and the receiver. The
microphone converts sound into
electrical energy. the vacuum tube
greatly amplifies this minute
electrical energy, and the receiver
converts these amplifled electrical
impulses into sound which it ap-
plies to the ear. Or, when a bone
conduction receiver is used the
sound is applied to the mastoid
prominence behind the ear.
A slender cord connects these
basic parts. The receiver, at
tached to an ear insert of plastic,
fits n the ear; the microphone
and vacuum tube amplifier in
one small case in the modern sets,
are worn under a coat or blouse.
Learning to use a hearing aid
is a matter of practice and pa
tience. According to authorities.
there are many reasons why prob
lens exist. Different types of
hearing losses create different
problems. The degree of loss is
a prime consideration. The Sc
verely deafened cannot expect
the same good results from the
aid as the moderately deafened.
although results can be obtained.
If you really want to be a skill
full user of hearing aid you must
live with it. experts remind. Il

cialist, II an aid Is advisable have
q hearing consultation with an
impartial specialist, then purchase
q hearing aid from reputable
dealer.
There has been no dearth of
imagination in the creation of the
hearing aids. In times past,
there have been trumpets and
hearing tubes of all sizes. There
have been sound receptors cam
oufiaged as fans, as umbrellas, as
parasols. There have been sound
receptors hidden in work boxes
opera glasses, book holders. books
and dinner-plate holder. and
there there have even been acous-
tic chairs, authorities report.
It is really only in the past
40 years that the world Of sound
has seen such medical and sci
entific progress. For almost any
one with some hearing. from pre-
school youngsters to oldsters-the
Washington Hearing Society
helped one 100-year~ old man to
find a satisfactory aid-there is
a hearing aid that can be adapted
to his need.
Most of the early hearing aids
were run on large dry-cell bat
teries. operating on the same
principal as the telephone, and
were formidable looking contrap-
tions indeed. Sound was ampli-
fed by means of tiny grains Of
carbon in the receiver. These
devices were stationary, for the
most part. One Of the first mod
els was contained in a large cab
