TAILORED GINGHAM ENSEMBLE? FINE FUR MAKES FINE COATS

AI7HAT next in the style parade? Why gingham, if you please, just simple ordinary gingham madj up . into as chit and charming a tailored street ensemble as one would wish Quite a new turn to affairs, this of style creators. endorsing cotton materials as proper and modish media for street and sportswear costumes This idea of wearing gingham, pique, washable voile and othei equally as attractive cotton fabrics where once ’twas thought that only silk or satin might grace the day, is making “a hit” with the fashionable world. ’ Al first one dons gingham for the social event because of the novelty of the tiling and because, fashion so die-

So there you a "andsrmie. washabe. likable practical ensemble, at trifling cost and easy to make even if one only has a slight knowlerige of the sewing art The most popular frock for tennis is rhe sleeveless one. Stylists are sash toning such of gay patterned gingham complementing them with a plain three-quarter length coat or a short jacket of monotone gingham. If “competition is the life ot trade.” it is also the inspiration to creative imagination. Now there’s the case ot ensembles versus separate coats. With the ensemble costume about to capture the fashion world

Variety in Sleeves Sleeves show variety. Some houses widen them at the wrist. Jenny shows a kind of inverted leg-of-mutton sleeve with the puff between elbow and wrist. Touches Os White pique or little frills of lace and lingerie cuffs and collars are often seen. Lace Inserts Racine lace godets, in black, give fullness and delightful contrast to a princess combination in maize col ored crepe de chine.

with its. endearing charms, it brings he matter up to the coat stylist meet the challenge. That’s why the separate topcoat this season is a thing of such beguiling beauty, women of fashion simply cannot resist them For that matter, it would be about as unwise a thing as one could do to eliminate the separate coat from one’s spring and summer wardrobe. To worry along without a modish top coat? Never! And about that question of “to fee or not to be furred.” It seems that after all. there are some stylists who hold the opinion that a bit of choice fur makes even the handsomest coat loot handsomer. So witil the convic-

tion that fine fur makes fine coats, it used discriminatingly, many- ot the world s leading coat designers are furring (heir most stunning models el ther at the neck or the sleeves, but seldom if ever at both places fit once That is if a coat has a fur collat the sleeves are devoid the fur cull And vice versa, when tire sleeve is fur, cuffed, the collar -resorts to rhe self-fabric scarf for its detailing, or re some other intriguing manipulation Tlje models} in the pictjire iilus trate the point Both of these ador able spring coats are posed by l.an-t La i’lante. for somehow newest sash ions have taken to arriving via film land these days For rhe coat to the l?ft. ; novelty patterned beige kasha i? tlie favored medium.

Shielded Grid Tube Is Busy or Loafing on Job One of the odd facts about the shielded grid tube is that it works wonderfully when it does work and when it doesn’t work wonderfully it usually does not work at all. This is no shortcoming of the tube, but has to do principally with incorrect voltages and, in some especial instances, with faulty circuit design. When the tube is used as a radiofrequency amplifier, in shield grid fashion, with the G post of the socket connecting to B plus, the voltage must be correct in respect to the plate at the socket P post -.Unless one knows in advance what the plate voltage will be he does not know what voltage the extra grid is to get. It is often some positive voltage between 16% and 45j- but if the plate voltage ,is higher than usual, the extra grid may get a higher B voltage than 45. Experimentally as much as 47,5 volts were tried G post. The tube got very not and so did the metal shield. The current drawn Was tremendous —enough to overheat an adjustable resistor built for radio power packs. The positive B voltage when the tube is used in this fashion is not so critical as when the tube is used as a space charge detector. Here the second positive voltage does not go to the G post, but to the ■ metal cap atop the tube, hence the circuit is not changed trom normal detector operation, except io connect a clip t<> the cap and a wire flexible lead from the clip to a variable resistor of high range, say from .500 to s.oop.‘M'<> ohms or more. While 5.000.0 W is plenty, if you have one of higher range you may use that. Connect one end to B <>lus power, the highest B voltage you have, and the other end to rhe wire going to the tube cap. The tube operates very poorly as a detector unless a bypass condenser, say, 001 mfd., |s connected from plate to filament of from plate to A minus. It makes little practical difference whether.the connection is made to aliment or to A minus, but the filament connection is handier, since an F post of the socket is near the P post. A short lead results.—Radio World. How to Make Stain for Parts on Radio Outfit Black enamel is sometimes used for covering brass radio parts, but the blackening -may be done chemically with results resembling the black coating on metal parts of cameras. Clean the brass parts thoroughly, using a solution of lye if necessary. Make a hot saturated solution of copper sulphate (blue vitriol) and add some common washing soda. Allow this to stand, and the precipitate to settle to the bottom of the receptacle. The liquid is then discarded and strong ammonia added to the precipitate. forming a navy blue substance. Heat this, and dip the articles to be stained until the desired color is obtained. then wash them in water. Brass screw heads, washers, etc., which show »n a panel front will look much better if treated in this man ner than if left the color of brass, or nickel plated. Science in Shielding Receivers Properly An exaggerated idea of how shielding, if improperly used in a receiver, may prove a detriment evolves from one of the processes of vacuum tube manufacture. After the tube is exhausted it is put inside a coil of heavy copper wire. Through this coil a radio-fre-quency current flows. The magnetic field in the coil sets up eddy currents in the plate, grid and filament, which heat these parts red hot. When hot enough, the “getter” in the tube is set off and cleans up any residual gas in the tube. In the radio set the eddy currents are set up in the shield. Though the loss is not enough to make the shield red hot. It is sufficient to reduce the efficiency of the set. if the shielding is not properly placed. Elevated Instead of Underground Antenna The elevated wire is found to be superior to the underground antenna for reception of broadcasting stations. Interference from static is usually decreased by the use of a buried antenna ; however, the signal strength is reduced in proportion. It is a good plan to try the antenna to determine whether or not the disturbances caused by electrical equipment would be eliminated by the buried wire, in some cases it might eliminate the interference, but the signal strength w<udd undoubtedly be reduced. too. FOR THE NOTEBOOK <X>XXKKXKKXXXXXXXX><X>{XXX><X> Use mice condensers in resistance coupling. A meter is the scientific unit of length and is approximately 31-3 feet. “B” batteries must be kept in a relatively cool place in order to obtain maximum life. The best radio receiver ever produced is not proof against the hbmeguard experimenter, rough handling or neglect. When it is found impossible to tune out a near-by broadcasting station to get others farther away, try turning the antenna at right angles to the aerial of the broadcaster and use a wave trap between the lead-in and the receiver. A receiving or transmitting tube that will not oscillate any more can be made to serve as a rectifier tube as long as the plate or grid is not shortened to the filament. The socket springs connecting to the grid and plate of the tube should be wired to gether so that the tube will carry more current

French Peasant Slow to Drop Old Beliefs Eighteen centuries of Christianity have not sufficed to stamp out belief in werewolves, evil spirits and poltergeis in the rural districts of France. On certain days of the year young girls in Brittany still go out to garland themselves with flowers and spend a few hours beneath the branches of sacred trees, a relic’ from Druidical times and a practice of which Joan of Arc was accused during tier trial for heresy 500 year< ago. There is an interesting chapter in “Colas Breugnon,” by Rojnain Rolland, on the way these remnants of paganism are viewed by the rural clergy. In Latin countries local saints have officially taken the place of the ancient deities and spirits, but the peasants still pay their tribute to the old pentates, much in the same spirit perhaps as the old lady who reverently dropped her head when the name of Satan was mentioned during divine service and who. when questioned by her pastor, replied: “A little politeness is never out of place; one never knows how it may serve one.” A court trial in a little Bret: nese village, where a venerable peasant was accused of practicing medicine without a license, brought to light that the old man used a formula Tor the healing of the sick that scientists digging into Druidical lore have been unable to discover for centuries. The healer said he had it from his father and that it had always been handed down in his family. That is to say, it had come from the days of Juiifis Caesar and the time when our Lord was on earth, without undergoing any sensible modifications. The peasant-healer should have been sent to jail under the law, of course, but there were such a number of his friends to testify that they had been cured that he was let off with a small fine.

Yankee Brain Evolved Idea of Steam Organ Springfield, Mass., is beginning to pay attention to the story of Josiah U. Stoddard, who invented the isteam calliope. The idea of the calliojie came to Stoddard one day when he ha[>pened to hear two steam whistles blown simultaneously. He succeeded in raising,money enough from his friends to manufacture his first steam organ. After nine long months of arduous work, he sat down to the keyboard, turned on the steam and the wild yell of “Rosa Lee” astounded the ears of all Springfield. The neighbors came rushing up from miles around and ail the dogs in the town joined mightily in the chorus. This was in the 1850 s and the instrument was put on the market in 1855. — As the Massachusetts ot that day was religious, the Springfielders denounced the instrument as “l>egotten of the devil.” A stock company was formed, but went to the wall, and Stoddard never got one cent from his invention. Is it more fashionable for an apartment house to have s? name or a number? Why not both?
