THE PATTON COURIER \ \ \ 1 WOMEN CAN NOW DO MORE Because Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound Keeps Them Well Fifty years ago there were few occupations for women. Some taught - school, some did housework, some found work to do at home and a few took up nursing. Today there are very few occupations not open to women, Today they work in factories with hun- dreds of other women and girls. There are also women architects, lawyers, dentists, executives, and legis- lators. But all too often a woman wins her economic independence at the cost of her health. Mrs. Elizabeth Chamberlain who works in the Unionall factory making overalls writes that she got “wonderful results” from taking Lydia BE. Pink- ham's Vegetable Comipound. Mrs. Chamberlain lives at 500 Monmouth St, Trenton, N. J. She recommends the Vegetable Compound to her friends in the factory and will gladly answer any letters she gets from women asking about it.

The old English black rat was al- most displaced by the Norwegian va- riety, which in turn is being driven out by the small black “ship rat” that can get into places no other rat could reach. Rodents of the latter type have even been known to travel on telephone wires. Now a new brand has been discov- ered in large numbers in the neighbor- hood of Piccadilly. They are albino rats, with pink eyes, white hair, and white skins, and are quite as fierce as the other kinds. It is suggested they have bred from escaped tame speci- mens.

By KNUTE PETERSEN. in Radio World. Great improvement has been ef- fected in broadcasting and reception during the past few years. In the early days even the best transmitting stations used phonographs and player planos promiscuously before the mi- crophone, Now these stations are using the highest type of available artistic talent directly before the mi- crophone. All “mechanical perform- ers” are prohibited, At first little thought was given to the modulation. Often it happened that the wave was badly overmodu- lated. Now the average percentage of modulation occurs on even the loud- est passages. Furthermore, the modu- lation is so low that the second har- monie which is introduced into the signal when the percentage of modu- lation is too high is negligible. Not much thought was given previ- ously to quality of modulation over the entire audible scale. Now the modulation is the same for all essen- tial frequencies within a very close margin, At the receiving end the improve- ment in quality has been slower than at the transmitting end, because many entered the receiver manufacturing field who had no adequate knowledge of the fundamental principles of radio in general and quality in particular. Accumulation of Knowledge. But knowledge of these things was accumulated and broadcast in tech- nical circles and great improvement in the received programs was the result, There was no one thing that came first in this general improvement of equipment. The realization that more power was required to operate loud- speakers satisfactorily brought larger tubes. The demand for the low notes in the signal brought large transform- ers with high inductance primaries and it also brought resistance coupled receivers with high mu tubes. The demand for the low as well as the high notes brought cone speakers of large dimensions. The demand for convenience of op- eration brought about simplified con- trol in the receivers. At first it was thought necessary to have a variable for every component part of the cir- cuit, As a result there were receivers which had a rheostat for every tube, one or more variable high resistances for oscillation control, one separately controlled condenser to every tuned circuit together with a vernier con- denser for each, potentiometers for varying the grid bias, taps on the primaries to change the coupling, taps on the secondaries for varying the tuning range, rotatable primaries for changing the coupling, and other var- fables without number. “Variomania” Disappears, As a result of this mania for var- fables, which has been called “vario- mania,” receivers horrible in appear- ance and well-nigh Impossible to op- erate appeared. At present variables are used only for tuning and for vol- ume control, and these ere reduced to the smallest possible number, One or two controls for tuning and one for volume control are now popular. Many sets use a single eeontrol for tuning and another for volume con- trol. The result is that the receiver is simple to operate and it is possible to build it so that it looks like a piece of art. The demand for convenience also brought socket power devices, At first these were designed to eliminate the *“B” batteries only. Then they were built to Include the “C” battery also, Finally attempts were made to build them so as to eliminate the filament battery also. Fair results have been obtained and the prospects for complete success along this line are very bright. In fact, many re- ceivers of excellent performance char- acteristics are now in operation in which no batteries whatsoever are used. Competition Fruitful. The keen competition betweén the phonograph and the radio was one of the greatest forces for improving the quality of both, But a few years ago the quality of phonographically repro- duced music was atrocious. It was an ordeal to listen to one of the in- struments, Radio came along. It was an imnrovement over the phonograph, bad though it was at first. The phonograph manufacturers got busy and turned out instruments capable of reproducing recognizable music. That was a challenge to the radio element, They accepted it and now the duel is bene fought. The best phonograph reproduction is now on a par with the best radio reproduction, and elther is almost as good as original, In the competition between the phonograph and the radio the phono- graph had the early advantage of greater talent. Nearly all the great artists of voice and instrument were bound by contract to the phonograph makers. Radie had to take what was left. At first there was not much to take, but now practically all the great artists are available to the radlo. phonograph, and that is that its pro- grams come to the listener right off the griddle. Phonograph music is bought in the store deliberately at so much per package. Radio music comes wafting through space so that he who listens may hear by simply tuning in on it. A peach plucked off the tree is much more delicious than a peach fished out of a tin can. The two peaches might have grown on the same tree, or even the same branch; but the canned peach grew a season or two ago, the one plucked off the tree did not stop growing more lus- cious until the moment it was picked. The plucked peach ripened in the sun, the canned peach ripened in the shade of a warehouse, or perchance under the action of a chemical. So it is with the music from the phonograph and the radio. The phonograph rec- ord has been perfected In a studio and deprived of some of the human ele- ment. The radio rendition is the re- sult of growth and it is alive and vibrant, The artistic phase of radio has al- ways outrun the technical develop- ment. In the early days when “me- chanical performers” were used the technical equipment at both the trans- mitting and receiving ends was so poor that nothing but the novelty of the thing sustained interest in broad- casting, First-Class Artists Now. Later, when mediocre human talent was employed, the technical equip- ment improved a little but still the reproduced programs were mediocre. Now when artists of first magnitude perform before the microphone, the average reproduction is of first ord. Of course one frequently hears a radio receiver which gives the illusion of reality, but such receivers are none too pientiful. The defect lies mainly with the receiving equipment. Soon the listener will not be satisfied with distorted radio. The general buyer is learning fast. Poor reception is not now so much a matter of technical development of receivers as with the exploitation of radio. It is well known how to build receivers capable of fidelity of repro- duction, but there are many sets built which cannot reproduce any program properly. And these sets ure in daily use, They serve well to impart news and useful information to their own- ers, but they are not able to create the illusion of reality. These receivers also serve to keep the rhythm of a musical composition and belch forth a great volume of sound. Hence they serve well those who would fill the room with noisy cadence. But when it comes to repro- ducing classical music as rendered by the great artists or organized groups of artists, these sets can do no better than create a displeasing caricature. It is safe to say that more than 80 per cent of the sets in use today fall in this class. Constants of Wave Meter Should Not Change in Use It is essential that the constants of a wave meter should not change in use. Some slight difficulty has been experienced with vacuum tube wave meters, owing to the necessity of sub- stituting a new tube when the origi- nal one, with which the instrument was calibrated, burns out. Varying inter-electrode capacities of the tubes, for example, would seriously alter the maximum wave length to which the wave meter will tune, thereby intro- ducing inaccuracies over the whole of the range. Col. K. E. Edgeworth de- scribes in his (British) patent a eir- cuit which overcomes this difficulty.

Stir until the sugar is dis- solved, then strain into a large bowl and set into ice water to cool, stir- ring occasionally.

Braised Cabbage. Melt one-fourth cupful of sweet fat in a saucepan, add two green apples and two onions finely chopped; cook gently for three minutes, then turn in one good-sized cabbage shredded, three cloves, one-half cupful of vin- egar, one tablespoonful of salt and one-fourth teaspoonful of pepper. Cover tightly and simmer for two and one-half hours. Coconut Sponge. Dissolve a scant half envelope of gelatin in one-fourth cupful of cold water.

This is coupled in the normal manner to a grid circuit in- ductance L2, tuned by a variable con- denser C. One end A of the imdue- tance 1.2 is connected to the filament F of the tube; while instead of con- necting the free end D directly to the grid of the tube, the actual grid con- nection is taken to a tapping point X along the inductance 1.2, so that only a portion of the turns of the induc- tance are actually in the grid circuit. Obviously, then, the tube capacity is in shunt only with a few of the turns instead of all the turns, as would be the case with the normal arrange- ment. This means that any slight variation in tube capacity will not ‘na. terially alter the wave length of the | circuit L2 C; since the capacity varia- tion is only in shunt with a few of the turns.—London Wireless World.

WALKER TELLING IS SELLING N THESE days of time-saving de- vices, money-saving inventions and effort-saving ideas the thinking man finds much to interest him when he hears another thinking man compress a big thought into the fewest possible words. The literary man has a name for these examples of condensed wisdom. He calls them “epigrams.” “Epigram” is an interesting word. You can spend a useful fifteen min- utes studying out in some good die- tionary just what it meant in the original Greek and how it came to have an entirely different meaning in English. One of the most condensed and meaningful phrases I have ever seen written or heard spoken was used by a great editorial writer who boiled down a whole sermon into three words when he said “Repetition is reputa- tion.” That is sound, unassailable truth in the fewest possible words, Alongside that condensation of wis- dom I have filed away in my mem- ory the three-word statement that 1 heard an advertising solicitor use the other day in convincing a prospective buyer of publicity that advertising would be the best possible investment that he could make. These were the three words he used: “Telling is selling.” That comes pretty near reducing the statement of what advertising is to the fewest possible words and stating it in the simplest possible way. To a greater or lesser degree every human being is an advertiser. The man or woman who dresses well advertises prosperity, The man or woman who uses the proper words In proper places and shows a broad acquaintance with facts advertises education. The man with the light step, quick movement, unceasing activity, adver- tises energy, probably ambition. You say “I am a good judge of hu- man nature,” That is only another way of stating that you are an ac- curate reader of the personal adver- tising of individuals. Every day we unconsciously “tell” ourselves—advertise ourselves—by our actions, by our habits, by our conver- sation. Every day we unknowingly succeed in or fail in “selling” our selves. If “telling Is selling” it Is equally true that “Overtelling is underselling.” Nobody ever permanently gained anything by wandering from the truth, Boasting is only a polite name for lying. Any buyer of men or merchandise would rather be surprised by finding his purchase better than he thought it was than to discover that it failed to come up to what he had reasonable right to expect. If you have occasion to talk about yourself tell just what you are, If you find it necessary to sell your- self Jo not bargain for more than you can deliver. “Telling 1s selling,” but the telling must be the truth and selling must be on the basis of turning over just what you have agreed to—of having the goods test 100 per cent of what they were represented to be, (@ by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.)
