Il I I . I ability to cover the entire range of wave length with ver f v small dead-end losses. With the same receiving set the coils used for receiving long wave trans-Atlantic stations can be plugged out, a smaller set of coils plugged in. and amateur stations picked up eflidently. This ability tends to make this particular type of receiver the closest approach to a universal wave length receiver that can be made, The regenerative circuit arrangements already shown feed back from tie plate circuit to the grid circuit in one of two ways: First, conductively; as in the circuit called the DeForest Vltra-Audion circuit, and second, by inductive coupling as in the circuit which makes use of the tickler coil. There is a third method of coupling— electrostatic, by which the circuits between which the energy is to be transferred are connected by condensers. In a circuit in which the energy is small and the frequency is high, that is, short wave length, the coupling condenser need be of only a very small cnpaeity. The elements of a vacuum tube have a capacity with respect to each other. Some of the most efficient nf the short wave regenerative receiv- | rs used today depend on the capacity between the elements of the vacuum tube to furnish the necessary electrostatic capacity between the plate and Ute grid circuits to feed energy from "tie of these circuits to the other. Figure O shows a simple single tube regenerative receiver for short wave '••irk that depends on the electrostatic capacity between the elements "f the tube for the coupling between the plate and grid circuits. A variometer “A” in the antenna circuit is used for tuning. Another variometer "B” in series with the plate is used o>r tuning the plate circuit to the same natural period as that of the received • ?nal. This circuit is sometimes 'ailed the tuned plate circuit method of regeneration. There are two tuned oscillating circuits in the receiver. One tuned circuit consists Os the variometer “A" "ith the capacity of the grid to filament of the tube across it. The other tuned circuit consists of the variometer “B" with the capacity of the plate to filament across it. These two circuits are in turn electrostatically coupled to each other by the capacity between the grid and the plate. A receiver of the type shown in figure O is very efficient, because there are no untuned circuits. In ad•lltion the energy sent back from the I'iate circuit to the grid circuit compensates for the losses in the circuits. 'Ulis results in very high amplifications. Though the adjustment of a set of ibis type is rather critical, especially <be amount of induction in the plate circuit, bnt two 4tnobs are necessary i» control the tuning and the amount of regeneration. With u good antenna

and u circuit of the general arrange- I menu of tliut shown In the diagram, j an amateur can get excellent results. Any of the standard variometers on the market can be used for the grid and plate variometers “A" and “B.” . For those who wish to build a set of tills type, a more detailed diagram of connections is shown In Figure I*. The antenna series condenser is one. of the 21-plate size. An "A" battery potentiometer is shown in the circuit for those who wish to use a soft detector tube. ELECTRICAL SHOP AND RADIO Establishment That Does General Electrical Work Has Big Advantage Over Others. One of the strongest arguments possessed by the electrical store selling radio supplies is the expert service it can offer, says Burtou Millur, in a comprehensive article in Radio Merchandising. Ail sorts and descriptions of apparatus and parts can be put in stock by any store in any line of business and that is exactly what is being done in every city In the country, but the establishment which makes a specialty of doing general electrical work —wiring for light, pow-

■ ll - ■ er, etc., and carrying a stock of electrical goods of every sort —has a distinct advantage over the store which added u radio department to other lines of merchandise entirely different in character. It Is virtually important, however, that the availability of this expert service be broadcast to the field it is desired to reach. Publicity is the only thing that will do it. The public must be told. Not once, but repeatedly, and In every possible way. It is not enough to have a card in the display window announcing: “Our electrical experts will be glad to give you any information or assistance in Installing or operating your radio outfit.” Xir to run an occasional small ad in the local newspapers. Or to have a car card in the local street cars. Or to distribute small folders through the mails to a local list. All of these methods are good—if you keep persistently at it! There Is no single quality of advertising so absolutely essential as persistence. If you do not concede this you arc simply ignoring the experience of all successful advertisers of all time. If the radio department is to be built up and made a substantial part of your store's business it is essential that the public be told where It can find this superior service, tested apparatus and expert counsel.

THE “FORD" SKIRT Freak Skirt Creates Ungainly Sight on the American Streets By Hedda Hoyt (Fashion Editor of The United Proaa) (Written for the United Press) Paris, France (By Mall to United Press)—Freak styles may originate in Paris, but it is some wild-eyed American buyer, seeking a thriller for a cheap American gown house, who puts them into vogue. Out of the hundreds of Parisian gowns, he picks up a freak model which was never considerrnd seriously In Paris, brings it to an American loft, where it is duplicated by the thousands, and sends it on its way from Boston to 'Frisco. Its lines are always unusual and distinctly unique. Skinny flappers and stout matrons fall for it, like babies fail for lollipops. This year's “Ford” is the circular skirt which shows the leg to the calf in front and back, and swoops down on the sides until it touches the sidewalk. It is the most ungainly sight on our streets today. Undoubtedly it originated in Paris, but in all Paris I have never seen one of them. American women are always keen on dressing alike. Bow-legged women, itouts and flappers all wear the same gowns. There are some styles which they can all get away with without stopping traffic, but this hideous sidedipping skirt is not one of them. No one looks smart in them, and it’s time some wideawake American designer got up and screarded in protest. One wonders what the little eastside manufacturer who happens to pick this side-shin protector thinks of it all! He certainly started something. Shorter Skirts in Paris While hems are dragging their way through snow and mud in New York, they are being worn shorter in Paris than they were a year ago. The medium length skirt has come back for street (year. Extremely short skirts will not be worn in Paris for some time at least, and the Parisian gown houses tell me that they never wore them in Paris as short as they did in the United States. We always seem to “out-Paris" Paris. Perhaps that is why one feels when reaching Paris that the States are far ahead of Paris in style. > But after one is over here a while, one begins to notice one thing—the Parisian women are not like a lot of sheep. They do not fall for bizarre and unusual effects which are bound to become over-popular. They adopt the reigning styles only if they conform witli their lines and personalities. FIND CHILD IN FILTH Sixteen Months’ Cid Baby Rescued And Is On Road to Health Cclumhus, Ind.. .lan. 17. —A sixteen months’ oid baby is in a hospital here today on tlie road to strength and health after having been rescued from itarvation and filth and fed several days with a medicine dropper by agents of the divislbn of child hygiene, state board of health. The child was undernourished when found. It was eleven pounds underweight. It was fourteen months old and weighed only nine pounds.' The weight should have been twenty-one pounds, according to modern health standards. A doctor bathed the child several times and started feeding i.t with a medicine dropper. The mouth was sore and it could take food in no other manner. That was two months ago. Now it weighs sixteen pounds and is nursing from a bottle. —a Town to Pay Taxes First Time in Years I'nited Prexs Staff Correspondent Plover, Wis., Jan. 17. —For the first time in several years taxpayers of ; this city must pay taxes on their property here. For the last few' years this little i northern town, known as the taxpay- | eys' Utopia, has the distinction of I being the only city in the country I where residents did not have to pay ' a property tax. Failure of a large paper mill, the town's chief industry, to make any profits this year and thereby pay sufficient money into the town treasury to pay all expenses incurred, has caused the town to make a small levy on property. FUTURISTIC STAMP Berlin (By mail to the United Press).—The futurist craze has hit the German postoffice department. The new twenty-mark stamp, which will carry one small letter to any foreign country at this writing, is decorated by a futurist picture, which to the lay eye looks like a man ploughing.

GAINS MUCH RECOGNITION Pictures of Misses Agnes Costello Appeared in Indianapolis News A picture of Miss Agnes Costello, of thia city, who la al present Nerving rus a lyplst in the State House of Representatives, appeared In Tuesday evening'* iaaue of (he Indianapolis News, along with a write-up. Miss Costello is gaining much recognition us an expert typiHt. The story in the Indianapolis News is as follows: “if it wasn’t for the work that is done in (his room, this State Capitol of ours certainly would be a madhouse during a session of the Indiana legislature,," one member of the house of representatives said ds ho took a constituent on a sightseeing tour through the statehouse. The room of which he spoke was that now occupied by the pteno#raphers of thh house of representatives. At this remark, all five of the busy typists on duty looked up i from their fast flying machines. | smiled sweetly, and then calmly ■ went on with their work, with 'nar? | a misA of a single click nor the reg istration of a false note. “One of those who are helping to take the 'mad' out of the house of representatives this season is Miss Agnes Costello, a democrat, from Decatur, in Adams county. Miss Costello has had much experience in govern mental work, having been a stenogi rapher in the senate during the 1913 session for Stephen B. Fleming, who was joint senator from Allen and Adams counties at that time. Besides Miss Costello was in Washington duri ing the war, employed in the war risk insurance department. "Although I am a staunch demo < rat and was recommended to the position I now hold by Mr. Gottschalk • (Representative Thurman A. Gotts- , chalk, Adams and Wejls), who is the ; democratic floor leader in the house. . I am only too glad to do typing for • either democratic or republican members of the house,” Miss Costello > said. “It is the rule here in this department that no matter what party > we belong to we must do our best i work for members of either party.” CAUSES OF DIVORCE , Judge Says Selfishness and Immorality Are Big Divorce Evils 5 Indianapolis, Jan. 17. —Selfishness I I and immorality are to be blamed for X I II the divorce evil in the opinion of t Theopholus J. Moll, judge of superior • | court here, who has decided 2,000 -' divorce cases in th e last two years. “Something is loose in society.” he said. “Something is ‘rotten in Denmark.’ The economic emancipation of women has resulted in women i adopting the attitude they should have the same social privileges. “But they still insist on the privilege i of looking to man for support and ; protection. They would eat their cake ! and have it. i “There are two tilings to consider ] 1 which are fundamental to the whole problem: j “1 The innate selfishness of the individual. “2 The standard of m,orals of the 1 ; individual "If both parties to a marriage are 1 altruistic, but not servile and are of high moral standard, they will not ' see the divorce court. 1 “Another thing is too much money. Society can’t stand prosperity. It runs wild. It goes over the bank. It steps -.- — I.- --.-II .. .. I THE MECCA I 3 TONIGHT ONLY g || She’s Here Again o fi WHO?

on the accelerator, “But eventually it may be generations —women will assert themselves to the limit. They will discover the Impracticability of their position. Then they will return to normalcy." Despite these observations, Judge Moll declared that marriage is "a great institution.” Ho disagreed with Judge Ben Lindsay, noted Denver jurist, who said that marriage is a failure. “The eoifrts in recent years have gradually lopped off the sharp edges of the ‘cruel and inhuman treatment’ grounds for divorce, until now we have what is virtually a return to the old ground of ‘incompatibility of temperament.' Whether this will be dealt with by legislation or the problem will await gradual reversion to the former respect of marriage vows remains to be seen.” o +++++++++++++++ + TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY ♦ ♦ + + From the Daily Democrat files + > 20 year* ago this day + *++*++++ + + + + + + * First rural route established out of Geneva to run through Jefferson township.
