The TELERON WAVE TRAP is like
a television policeman. 1t permits only the
desirable waves-those from the TV sta
ton to enter your set All the other
waves-the interference waves that rip and
tear at your picture screen-are trapped
in the TELERON and thrown off to the
ground.
Evening star., 1952-10-12

These are the real causes of TV inter-
ference. Not one of these causes is in your
set.
ENOUGH, NOW YOU WILL HAVE
ANOTHER MAJOR FORM OF TV
INTERFERENCE TO CONTEND
WITH, AS OF MAY l, 1852.
Back of this sudden blight is the fact
that the Federal Communications Com
mission has allocated certain wave length
for the amateur radio operators to use in
tal,.iag to one another across the land and
overseas. This is the same wave length
that most TV set manufacturers used to
amplify and step up the strength of the
images you see on the TV screen. 1t is
important that the hams have share of
the band for their work, most engineers
agree.

The Reel Cause Of
T Interference!

These harmful static waves are what
scientists have labeled "TV INTERFER-
ENCE." And the reason you or your re-
pairman have never been able to block this
interference out is because 1T DOES
NOT COME FROM WITHIN YOUR
TV SET-but from sources outside your
TV set These sources are the real cause
of TV interference. These are what cause
your TV screen to flicker, f1utter. streak
or get hazy.
For instance you, yourself. realize that
doctors diathermy machine up to 2H
miles away from your home can ruin your
TV viewing pleasure for hours on end.
But do you know that an airplane flying
overhead can make your screen flicker and
futter?
A car or truck passing your home can
distort your TV picture for an evening.
Even those innocent-looking electrical ap-
pliances you have in your home-such as
an oil burner, refrigerator or auorescent
lighting-can streak, distort and haze your
TV picture for an entire evening.

The check book probably looks
a little pinched this month after
making your yearly donation to
Uncle Sam. Until you have a
chance to recuperate, economy
will be q familiar watchword
around most households.
It's the protein foods in the
= family meals that worries the
homemaker the most and puts
the heaviest toll on the food dol
lar. But this spring eggs are
coming to the rescue in a big
way. The hens are laying at such
q rate that there are enough eggs
rolling into the markets so every
one can have two a day and that
provides enough protein for the
main dish of a meal. At current
prices. you can buy two large
eggs for around 8 to 10 cents.
The ways Of preparing eggs are
legion. but have you ever served
egg croquettes. or shirred eggs on
spinach, or baked eggs in green
pepper rings? For the croquetteS
saute a little onion and celery in
the butter before you start to
make heavy cream sauce base.
Then add some cooked fnacaroni

Two more featured "plentifulS"
for the week are carrots, coming

For Brighter Clothes
The term, hard water" is one
Of those household terms every
one uses and practically no one
understands. What makes water
hard? From the time water
hits the earth as rain until it
flows through the faucets into
your home, it picks UP bits of
minerals along the way. The
more minerals, the harder the
water. In clear water, these min
erals are fairly well-behaved; it's
when soap is added that trouble
begins. The minerals combine
with the soap to form floating, in
soluble particles. The minerals
do more than tie-up soap so it
is useless, they form that annoy
ing ring around the bathtub, the
streak on glassware, the gray cast
to your clothes. But leave it to
science to find a way out. On
the market these days is a white
powdered water conditioner that
"ties-up" the minerals and pre-
vents them from combining with
the soap. The result is water as
soft as the original rain and soap
left free to do its full sudSing job.
In fact you need less soap than
normally would be used. Use a
small amount of the conditioner
In the rinse water when you're
doing the laundry, you'll be
amazed at the amount of suds
that comes out Of your clothes to
leave them whittier and brighter.

PAINTED WOODWORK.
(From E. L. ~, Washington
I eagerly await replies to L. B.
w. We have lovely chestnut wood
work which my husband will not
agree to painting over, although
it is dark and I, too, would like to
know how to make it blond, and
then finish the walls harmoni-
ously. The why Of painted wood
work is that when cheap soft
woods were substituted for good
hard woods by the builders of the
early '20s they were necessarily
painted, thus dating the older
houses. One decorator wants to
paint solid mahogany paneling in
la large downtown store audi
ltorium! More recently, there was
inaugurated a trend to wall-to-
wall carpeting, so soft pine floors
could again be used instead Of
good oak. Behind every trend
there is a commercial reason. I
suppose we could increase the sales
value of our home 81 500 by paint
ting true hardwood to look like
soft wood.

Mammals live far longer, on the
average, than do insects. Most
kinds of dogs remain alive from
to IS years, if they have good care
and escape accidents. Now and
then (but not often) dog lives to
the age of 20, or several years past
that age.
Sometimes people say that a cat
has nine lives, but that is only a
playful story. Cats are likely to
escape from many dangers, but
they die only once. If a house cat
lives from z to Is years, it does
very well. Some cats have been

CHAPTER XIII.

What confusion there was! The
Merry Christmas was now nothing
but a toy ship. The sea was filled
with screaming pirates. The
treasure was at the bottom.
Aboard the pirate ship the
brownies clustered anxiously at
the rail. If they stayed where they
were the pirates would board the
ship. If they sailed away they
would leave the Prince behind.
I'VE must stay and fght!" said
Santa.
The little folk looked at the
pirates where were swimming to
the ship with their knives in their
mouths.
"B-but what shall we fight
with?" asked the brownies.
We'll fight with whatever we
can lay our hands on!" cried
Patrick Tweedleknees. He re-
membered how the Prince had
saved him from the pirates bon
fire. He was now eager to fight
for the Prince and no one would
have known how his knees shook
with fright.
No Cannon Balls.
Santa looked about the ship.
There were two pirate cannon but
there was no cannon ball in sight.

were fighting for their lives?
But Patrick Tweedleknees saw

The brownies followed orders.
TWeedleknees himself poured a
bottle of bounce and an ounce of
rubber salts into the black sticky
goo now bubbling on the fire.
Now the angry pirates reached
the ship. Capt. Longhair grasped
a rope and began pulling himself
up the side. Donnie and Trickert
and Horace chewed furiously on
the rope until it snapped in two.

Mr.. Abel wasn't too keen about
any opening from his hand today,
but he finally decided on the king
of spades. The defense might have
been little easier if he had opened
the king of clubs, but he had no
way to be sure of that.
Miss Brash let the king of spades
hold and Mr.. Abel had another
chance at the winning defense
Hoping to get Mr.. Dale in to lead
a diamond back, he came out with
a low club. But Miss Brash won,
cashed the ace Of trumps, finessed
the jack of spades and threw off a
diamond on the ace of spades.
Thus she lost only spade, a heart
and diamond, making her doubled
contract.
You and I see that he could have
defeated the hand by switching to
diamonds at trick two. It's tough
leading from an ace-queen, but Mr..
Abel should have seen it, too.
Mr.. Dale had to have something
for his raise to two clubs. He had
nothing in spades. On the bidding
it was practically certain he had
no winners in hearts. He should
have either the ace of clubs or the
king of diamonds
If Mr.. Abel had laid down the
ace of diamonds at trick two, Mr..
Dale would have flashed the nine,
announcing possession of the king.
If he had not held the king. he
would have played his lowest dia-
mond, in which case Mr.. Abel could
have led a club to his partners
(supposed ace. Thus the de-
tenders would have won one trick
in each suit.
True, if Mr.. Dale had held the
ace of clubs and not the king of
diamonds, then club shift at trick
two-and a diamond return-would
have beat the contract two tricks.
But Mr.. Abel's first job was to be
sure to set the contract at all.
incidentally, Miss Brash's con-
cession of the first trick was very
good, as it put Mr.. Abel on the spot
for the right shift before he knew
too much about the hand.
