They have a mil- lion times more fun than girls." Her big brother, who had "been at school all year, smiled at her 4 "So you think you'd like to be a boy?" Jennie nodded. "I'd like to be your little brother," she sald. | "All right," sald Burt. "Tl tell you what we'll do. You can play you're my little brother. See how you + like it. I was thinking of taking a good long walk in the country this afternoon, and you can go along. We'll get mother to give us some things to take. along to eat." Jennie took a little hop-skip of joy. "All right," she sald. "I'll go put on my hiking outfit. I look like a boy in, It. And you must call me J'm and treat me just like a boy." Bo the two of them started out, Jennie carrying her half of the pro- visions. She took big steps, just like her brother, and put her hands in her pockets and whistled. They stop- ped and shied stones at blackbirds and skipped stones in the creeks. Jennie thought she was having a fine time, until she began to get a little tired of taking such big steps. Bhe was about to ask Burt to slow down, and then: remembered a boy wouldn't do that. Then she got a stone in her shoe. "Burt," she called, "I've a stone in my shoe. Come help me take my shoe off." "Take it off yourself, Jim." he sald, striding on. So Jennie took off her shoes and removed the stone. Then she had to run till she was out of breath, to catch up with.

It 'quite often happens with a crystal detector receiving circuit that the crystal needs w.Jjusting. With a galena crystal, for exam- ple, it is customary to use a fine pointed wire, resting rathe: light- Iy on the surface of the mineral. Not all points on the surface are good ones for rectificat on of very weak currents' That !s, sot all points are sensitive. It then be- comes necessary to poke the pointed wire at several spots on the crystal, while signals ara be- ing received, to find a sonsitive one. But what is to be done when no signals are to be received? It might be desirable to adjust the detector for maximum sensitive- ness before the radio broadcast begins, .s0 that nothing will be missed. This would seem to call for a 'local transmitter cof ex- tremely low power. wiley could be used for making "ha signals again, making a double line up and Let's got some wood and make a fire |-- ------ ----------c->_0° UP 2 and cook the bacon and eggs."

A buzzer has a vibrating spring armature. which carries a con- tact, When current from a bat- tery is allowed to flaw through the magnet coils of che buzzer this armature or vibrator moves rapidly to and fro, alternately opening and closing the bazzer circuit. At each opening @ spark jumps between the vibrator con- tact and the fixed contant. due to the counter electromotive force of self-induction develoyed.in the magnet windings. This spark in duces oscillations in the recaiver circuits if the buzzer 's placed very closely to the receiver. The connection may be as siswu In the illustration. The huzier then acts as a miniature sau'lng ma- chine, when the push bua ton fis pressed. and the crystal can be adjusted until a maxiu.wn sound is heard In the head re'eph 5 It will then be in its mos: sensi- tive adjustment. The nsctl.ations induced in the receiver circuits are of whatever frequency the cir- cuits are tuned to. There is no resonance effect between (he buz- zer circuit and the receiver, so that the crystal may he aijusted regardless of the wave leugth the receiver is adfusted for.
