They make delicious sauces, and va- rious dishes when served with a few mushrooms are quite out of the or- dinary, They may be spiced and pickled like any other vegetable, Mushroom Catsup. Gather fresh mushrooms and pack them in alternate layers of salt in a stone jar. Let stand for twenty-four hours. Chop fine after standing and mix well. Let stand for two more days, then drain. Place the strained liquid in a kettle and bring to the boiling point and boil three minutes. To every four cupfuls of the liquid add one cupful of good vinegar (cider vinegar is best). Add one tablespoon- ful of cayenne pepper, three of all- spice, two of ginger, one of cloves and one-half. of mace. Boil until reduced to half the amount, then bottle and seal while hot, Pickled Onions. Pour boiling water over small white pickling onions to loosen the skins. Peel them, soak in strong brine twen- ty-four hours. Wash and place in a preserving kettle and cover with one part skimmed milk and two parts wa- ter. Boil gently for ten minutes.

Did you ever notice how many “I's” there are in the word? CrltlcIsm. It is the “I's” that make it so popu- lar. Listen to a habitual critic, a well- developed fault-finder. Every one of his criticisms begins with “I think” or “I believe” or “I see,” and then fol- lows his opinion, fully and freely ex- pressed. ; Criticism, when the eritic knows what he is talking about and delivers his opinion in a constructive and help- ful way, is well worth while. When it is offered without a basis of infor- mation and experience and without a service of betterment it is harmful and worse than useless. Too often the critic measures the learning and wisdom of others by the vardstick of his own ignorance or prejudice, One of the greatest statues carved by Michelangelo was the colossal “Young David,” which he cut from a block of marble which another sculp- tor had rejected some forty years be- fore. This statue of David and his super- lative figure of Moses are the greatest statues since the days of Praxiteles and worthy to rank with the best Greece produced, When Michelangelo had finished “David” he asked some of his artist friends to view it, among them Sode- rini, of little talent and soon forgotten. Vasari, who was a great admirer of Michelangelo and whose stories of the art world at that period are in- teresting reading, tells the anecdote of Soderini’s criticism as follows: “When he saw the statue it pleased him much, but he said to Michelan- gelo, who was engaged in retouching it, that he thought the nose was too thick. Michelangelo, seeing that Soderini was below the statue, and could not see it truly, to satisfy him went up on the scaffold, taking with him a chisel and a little marble and made believe as if working, letting a little dust fall from his hand as he did so, but not at any time touching the nose of the figure. "Then looking down at Soderini he said: ‘Look at it now.’ “‘It pleases me much better, said Soderini, ‘you have given it life’ “‘So says Vasari, ‘Michelangelo came down, pitying those who make a show of understandirg matters about which they really know nothing.’ ” Do not think that because a man accepts your criticism he really thinks your judgment better than his. He accepts it, perhaps, because you are his boss or because he would rather endure your wrong judgment than to waste his time in argument. Disraeli, earl of Beaconsfield, who had his full share of criticism, said: “It is much easier to be critical than to be correct.” Socrates, when he was told by the Delphic oracle that he was the wisest man in all Greece, which was un- doubtedly true, replied: *’'Tis because that I alone of all the Greeks know that I know nothing.” To criticize that which you yourself cannot equal is impudence. Measure yourself before you esti mate others. There is no surer way to prove your ignorance and establish your little ness than to devote your life to the criticism of those whose efforts and accomplishments are beyond the ca- pacity of vour own endeavors, (@® by McClure Nawspaper Syndicate WHEN I WAS TWENTY-ONE BY JOSEPH KAYE At 21—"Uncle” Joe Cannon Began His Legal Struggles.

By GEN. T. C. H. BRANNON, in Radio World. When it is desirable to have consid- erable undistorted power for the loud- speaker and neither power tubes nor | | amplified. | | | | high voltages are available, a push- pull amplifier can be rigged up, usual- ly out of parts that are already at hand. The diagram shows such an T1 is an audio-frequency transformer. It must be one of high grade and preferably of high ratio, say 6 to 1. R1 and R2 are two re- sistors of about .5 megohm each. R3 is a high resistance potentiometer about .5 megohm. This potentiometer is connected between the two tixed resistors and it is used for the pur- pose of dividing the secondary voltage equally between the two tubes. It is difficult to find two resistors of ex- actly equ#f ohmage to make the po- tentiometer unnecessary. Of course, if a potentiometer of about one megohm is available, R1 and R2 need not be used, R3 alone being sufficient, The grid battery is put in the lead which runs to the slider on the poten- tiometer, with the minus terminal pointing toward the slider. No Condensers Used. In the output side two choke coils I.1 and L2 are used in place of an out- put transformer. These choke coils can be the secondary windings of audio-frequency transformers. Cheap transformers, which should not be used in any high-quality amplifier, can be used here to good advantage. The two choke coils are connected in series , between the two plates of the tubes. The mid-point, or junction of the two windings, is connected to the positive of the plate battery. The loudspeaker is connected from plate to plate across the two choke coils. Note that no condensers are used in series with the speaker. Sim- ilar circuits have been recommended Regular Input and Output Transform. ers. A Potentiometer Is Used te Divide the Secondary Voltage of Transformer Between the Two Tubes. Two Choke Coils Are Used in the Output and the Loudspeaker Is Connected Directly Across the Coils Without Any Stopping Condensers. & in which a 2 mfd. condenser has been placed on each side of the speaker, with the admonition that each must stand the voltage of the plate battery. When two condensers of 2 mfd. each are used in series the effective capac- ity in series with the speaker is only one microfarad, and this is so low that it seriously cuts down the lower notes in the signal. The loss of the low notes is too heavy a price to pay for a habit which serves no purpose. It is apparent that there is no DC voltage across the loudspeaker, and no direct current will flow through the loudspeaker when the condensers are omitted. Hence the condensers should be omitted. Tubes to Use. Since the loudspeaker is connected from plate to plate without a step- down transformer, the loudspeaker should have a very high impedance to take full advantage of the power de- livered by the tubes. The internal re- sistances of the tubes are in series with the speaker, and therefore the speaker should have twice the usual impedance, We cannot change the impedance of the speaker at will to match the series connection, but we can use two speakers in series. But using two speakers is not a practical solution. It is better to use two tubes which have a low output impedance, e. g. two 371 tubes, the impedance of which is around 2,000 ohms each, requiring a load impedance of 4,000 ohms each. The impedance of the speaker when connected across two such tubes should therefore be 8,000 ohms. Most good speakers are suitable. Such tubes as the 220 and 112 may be used. The list of parts includes the fol- lowing: T1—One ratio 6 to 1. R1, R2—Two .5 megohm grid leaks (Lynch). R3—One 5 megohm potentiometer, L1, L2—Two audio-frequency choke coils or transformers, One double mounting (Lynch). Two UX sockets. Two amplifier tubes of low output resistance.

This is accomplished by means of the small capacities C and C1. It will be noted that the radio-frequency cur- rents are prevented from passing through the common battery circuit by the R.F. chokes I and L1, and are instead by-passed through condensers C2 and C3 to the filamer: legs of the tubes.—Radio News. Broadcasting Is More Effective Than Reading John Wallace, well-known critic, whose frequent attacks on radio edu- cation have received wide publicity, takes a surprisingly optimistic stand when considering the value of broad- easting from a musical viewpoint, “Radio is the best-fitted agent to do this work,” says he in the Radio Broadcast Magazine. “It can function to its own best advantage by forget- ting all its silly aspirations to sup- (Convright.) plant the technical college and by devoting itself to this equally large and far more important task, “Not all the millions of people in the United States who own receiving sets have the intelligence to really get the low-down on what music is, but that does not controvert the fact that there are thousands upon thou- sands of people in the land who have got the mental equipment to enjoy music if they put themselves to it. It is amazing how many people who are apparently cultivated, well educated. and surrounded by opportunities, and who profess to enjoy music, can be discovered, by a couple of well-direct- ed questions, not to have the remotest idea of what music really means. “There are many excellent books on the market and in the public libraries which offer primer courses in the un. derstanding of music. The only objec- tion to learning music from a book lies in the fact that the book can't play the music it is talking about. Tt can quote measures, but if you can't read music, this is of little use. “Herein lies the unique advantage of radio; it can offer explanations and at the same time {illustrate them. There have been a number of music appreciation programs on the radio already, but the saturation point has been far from reached. An impetus in this direction is furnished by the report that Walter Damrosch has ac- cepted the post of musical counsel for the National Broadcasting com- pany and has already under way a comprehensive plan for promoting fine music through the medium of ra- dio broadcasting, This plan provides for a series of concerts supplemented by talks which can reach the major- ity of the 2,000,000 students in Amer- ican schools and colleges.” Combs Are Handy Combs, made of either hard rubber or celluloid, are useful as a wire spacer and low-loss support in loop construction, or for obtaining perfect wire form when mzking a ceil, \ best deal for you. 2 you a new car. 3 times it is not. 4 price of a new car.
