But It isn't really necessary te spend
i fortune. It can he done with very
little cost. The radio expert will frown
rflth disapproval nt the advice I am
tain I" Rive I" this article, and (will
warn von of 'dialectrlc losses." but.

If you saw It en the street, yeif enn
Itave that liuc-seundlng term te the

fan you want with the stuff I am going
te describe. I have myself used this a

tablished a criminal record with "dia
lectrlc losses" I heard the broadcast
concerts and that was what I was
'ftr' . . ...
Instead of fermlen or bakellte, you
cib use any geed hardwood for your
panel. And, if you nun't get hardwood.
tike just weed. And, if you can't get
that, inn I'ompe beard or heavy card
board. I made a let of panels when I
found an old desk being thrown away
and saved these thin benrds that form
the partitions in the drawers and be
tween the pigeon holes.
Just w long as these substances, are
thoroughly dry. ou won't knew that
jeu arc having "dlelectrie losses," but
If you use a soppy weed or a damp
iplecc of cardboard, I won't guarantee
results. r
Fer knobs for switches or coupling
handles or condenser handles, I pay a
cent apiece in n hardware store for
these little wooden handles made for
Thin Isn't necessary. Yeu can nsrj any
number von. want. The marVs are only
te let you make n record of the setting
at which you heard the best signal or
te let you knew thcfposltlen of your
ceup'lng or your condenser en the back
of the panel.
Yeu enn think of a number of money
saving ideas like this ns you build your
set.

Te make knobs, drill through the pet
knob with n drill the size of the two

with a larger bit, big enough te mnke

The illustration will straighten out
this puzzle for you.
Fer switch blades, use thin brass
which has a geed, stiff spring te it. Tf
it is soft, brass, .it will seen cease te
make geed contacts. If you cannot pos
sibly afford brass, open up an empty
tin can and cut your blade out of that
with your mother a sewing scissors but
don't let her cetch you at It. She'll
declare it will ruin her scissors. I've
used my wife's for six months, and she
doesn't knew 'It yet. It's like these
"dialectrlc losses" we've been talking
about. Mostly theory. ,
Fer dials I cut a circle of cardboard
any diameter I want. Then I roll it
slowly edgewise ever the edge of a ruler,
marking It off In sixteenth inches until
I have the whole circumference thus
divided. Then-1 begin at any one mark

lengthen each five in between, only net

Te every man and woman
who wears our heels
3
TWTEVER was the need of a heel that gives real
J. i protection se great as it is today.
Standing or walking wherever you are today
there is always an unnatural strain. Hard
. floors and pavements are practically universal.
The body must have relief. Half an inch of heel
must give it te you.
Yeu generally pay the same for O'Sullivan's
Safety Cushion Heels as for ordinary heels, though
they cost the repairman mere.
Although he makes less profit per pair en
' them, O'Sullivan's have two big advantages for
the repairman: they always make satisfied cus
tomers, and satisfied customers mean bigger
business.
The ordinary rubber heel is either hard and
lifeless or soft and crumbly. O'Sullivan's Safety
Cushion Heels combine maximum springiness
with the toughness for long, hard wear.
Ask for O'Stiflivan's see that they art
attached. The O'Sullivan Heel Company.
