A TRUE RAT STORY Auburntown, Tana., Jaaa M, IMS. Stearns Eleotrlc Faate Co* Chicago, 111. Dears Sirs: Mr. Robert T. Donnell of Auburntown, Tenn., came In our store the other day and wanted something to kill rats, so I sold him a box Stearns Kat Paste. And he put some paste on six biscuits that night and the next morning he found flftjr-four big rats. And the second night he put out four more biscuits with paste on them, and thr second morning he found seventeen more rats, making a total of aeventy-one rats In two nights, and there were lots more that he did not find.

The dust or mud, the gfeaae and grime, the tedioair ' delay - all are things we like to avoid. But the time to think about these things is wh<||, you buy the tire--not after the blow-out occurs. For some tires blow out much more easily than otheipM^ Outward appearance counts for little. ^ ^ It is the material in the tire and the coastmctiqil of it that determines its strength. -j. Goodyear recognizes these facts and all Qoodyetf Tires are made of long staple cotton. Take the 30 x 3#*Crou Rib Clincher Tiiehereillu^ " trated, for example. ^ ' It is made of Egyptian and Aikona cotton, ttyt^ x fibres of which average 1XA indies long. *. Many 30 z 3>4 clincher tires are made of shod . staple cotton from inch to 1H inches long. V * ' This means less strength and greater danger df.'^ blow-outs--more tire troubles. Yet this high grade guaranteed Goodyear costs only $10.95. You can buysome tires for even leas than this but none with the fine materials and construction of this one. Can you afford to4ake a dunce on more frequent tire troubles for the sake of the slightly lower priq» of cheaper tires?

Thq diagram needs explanation as to details. A being the aerial, B the ground, C the tap-off of inductance, then continue winding the other eighteen turns. The tap-off should havej the insulation scraped off in making: the connection at C, after which the joint should be covered with adheslvefc tape. If, when using the set, any; difficulty is experienced it may be tuned to a different wave length by! taking off one or two turns of the wire at top or bottom, or both, of the Inductance. For an aerial use No. 14 phosphor bronze 7 strand or No. 14 plain copper, using an aerial at least 150 feet long and of several wires and, if possible, use a counterpoise as described under "Aerials." ANOTHER SIMPLE TRANSMISSION SET One of the simplest transmission sets which can be devised for really practical work Is that shown in Fig 68.' In this set, the only Instruments which are required are as follows': Vacuum tube with socket Variable condenser of .001 mfd. Telephone transmitter or microphone. 60 volt B-battery. • volt storage battery (ordinary dry batteries may be used). ft Fixed condensers of .0006 mfd. 1 Modulation transformer or an old type Ford spark coll. 1 Rheostat In addition, yon will need some No. 28 B. tt S. double'covered cotton insulated wire. No. 26 B. A S. double covered cotton insulated wire. 2 pasteboard tubes % Inch la die ameter and 2 Inches long. 1 pasteboard tube 3 Inches la diameter and 2 inches long. A supply of ordinary cotton-covered bell wire. Aerial wire (No. 14), seven-strand phosphor bronze er copper Is best but plain will do. Also, to secure the best remits^ use a counterpoise as described under "Aerials." The diagram shows so plainly how this set is made that no detailed ex planation Is necessary. The inductance C is merely a single coll made by wind |ng about 50 turns of the No. 26 wire on the pasteboard tube 3 Inches in diameter. The radio choke-coil L is made by winding a few layers of the No. 28 wire on the pasteboard tubes \ inch In diameter and the modulation transformer N may be bought readymade or an old style Ford spark plug with the buzzer or contact screwed down hard may be used. In setting up be sure the primary coll of the modulation transformer is connected with the phone transmitter O. One great advantage in this set is that there are only two adjustments to be made, ths rheostst H, and the variable con- .denser B. In the diagram, A Is the aerial, B the variable condenser, C the inductance or helix, D the ground, E fixed condenser, F tube plate. G grid, H rheostat I 6 volt battery, J 00 volt battery, K fixed condenser, L radio choke, M grid leak, N modulation transformer, O phone transmitter. AN EFFICIENT S-WATT TRANSMITTER For those who wish a more powerful and efficient set for sending this is to be highly recommended. Under favorable conditions it should have a range of from 25 to 40 miles. Moreover, it Is not an expensive set to mske and, exclusive of bstteries, should not cost over $85.00 to $45.00. Tlje diagram as* given In Fig. 60, makes 'the wiring very plain, A being the aerial, B the ground, O the aimmeter, D the inductance, E the variable condenser, F the fixed condenser, G the grid-leak, H the modulation transformer, K the grid, L the plate, M the rheostat N the choke-coll, O the rectifier, P the current transformer. Although practically every part of this set can be made, with the exception of the ammeter, rheostat, microphone, and modulation transformer coil, still tt is almost as cheap and much more satisfactory to purchaw the current transformer, the variable condenser and the choke-coll. The Inductance D Is easily made, the plate coll being wo^od with No. 18 cotton insulated wire on a cardboard tube three and one-half Inches in diameter, using twenty-six turns and Is tapped at the thirteenth turn. The aerial coil is the same size of wire, but with only eight turns. The space between windings or turns should be about one-half inch. The choke-Coll may be purchased as such, but an ordinary spark coll--using the secondary winding--may be used and an old -Ford spark coll with contact-breaker screwed down may be used for the modulation transformer. The ammeter used should be one of low reading scale or, if desired, an ordinary 3 volt flashlight bulb may be used Instead. The ammeter, however, will give far better results. The grid-leak Is an ordinary lead pencil leak of medium soft lead. The most difficult part to make is the current rectifier, but even this is very simple and consists merely of eight pint fruit Jnra filled with a solution of ordinary borax In the proportion of half a pound of borax to ten pints of water. In filling the jars avoid having any undissolved borax or sediment in them, and fill only about three-fourths full. The plates consist of alternate lead and aluminum strips, eight of each alternating as shown In Fig. 61, and with each plate 5 x \ inches. With this rectifier and the current transformer P, an ordinary 110 vOlt, 60 cycle electric current may be used, or without these, two or three B-batterles may be used Instead, but this is far more expensive and does not give as good results. Before using , this outfit the rectifier must be treated \to form the plates, which is accomplished by connecting an ordinary 50 watt incandescent bulb and letting the 110 volt current run through it for ten or twelve hours. Another point to remember is always to disconnect the high voltage current from the plate when not in use and when using the set always light the filament In the tube with the low voltage battery before turning on the high voltage current. The switch on the microphone circuit also Should always be thrown off, thus disconnecting the phone from the battery, when not in use. To tune this set It is only necessary to adjust the variable condenser until the ammeter or flashlight shows the highest read* Ing. •' f^ < ' ^ v The Economy BAKING POWDER That's What Millions of Housewives Ds --They know that Good Baking Powder cairt be^J sold for less; that "More for the Money" means bake-day failures, waste of time and money; that Calumet is pure and sure.

In these days of lawlessness, when the honest citizen cannot take a walk around the block with any certainty that he will not be held up by a bandit, the novel Idea of Antonio Monaco, a citizen of Buenos Aires, ought to be of value. He suggests suspenders with pockets attached to them--two pockets, that Is to say, each of them being fastened with a buckle to the loop of the "gallus" at the fiont. The lower end of each pocket has two buttonholes, which button unto the ordinary buttons of the waistband of the trousers, thus making the pocket flatly secure against the body of the wearer. To prevent escape of Its contents, each pocket is provided with a buttoned flap. Few bandits would think of looking for loot beneath a man's waistcoat and so the suspender pocket should afford excellent hiding places for money. Against pickpockets they ought to furnish a perfect protection. --Milwaukee Sentinel.

The population of Llskau, Germany, noticed one day recently that one et the rnpny stores which annually return to the neighborhood from distant southern zones to rebuild their nests was carrying something about its neck Which only human hands could have fastened there. Repeated efforts to approach the bird had failed, but one^tthe villagers finally lured the sforkinto his barn and then and there learned that the bird carried a little leather case In which a note was Inclosed. The note revealed that the stork had come all the way from East Africa, where a German colonist, Willi Bucha, has his little farm near Victoria lake. Bucha must have anticipated that the bird spent his annual vacation In his beloved fatherland, so he wrote: "J ust a greeting to the fatherland," and used the stork to convey his message.
