Moslem’s Hdly Period
Tf4t Ramadan la the ninth month of
1 tne Moslem year, observed att a fast In

mwrlvwl by Mohammed. It commences
vMtth the new moon of the ninth month
-*a the year and ends on the day pre
mSSng the gr«at. festival of Batram.
'Wtassn dawn to sunset of each day dur
ing 4i!ls period the strictest abstinence
. Is wnjalned. All eating, drinking, hath
smoking and other bodily pleas
mw oven swallowing one’s saliva—
iMteg forbidden. At night, however, the
Mstlsractlon of the most necessary de
•totew Is permitted. As the Mohammedan
9HU* is lunar, consisting of 354 days,
cJSBL hours, It follows that In the course
**sST 313 years the Ramadan passes
cflkanough all the seasons. It is said that
fast of the Ramadan is much less
.•*Mbr4ctly observed now than in former
.cUnes.—Kansas City Star.

^jdkyMogrsphers, these old enemies will
WBBnaln such until the last mountain

English Town Makes
Specialty of Blankets
There ought to be a game—perhaps
there Is—In which a town's name Is
answered by Its Industry, an exchange
observes. "Sheffield,” cries one,
"Knives," says the other; "Cheddar”
cries another, "Cheese,” replies one,
To Witney, the answer, without any
quibbling, Is "Blankets." Witney Is
pervaded, you may say, with blankets,
wrapped up in them, Indeed, devoted
to them, and proud of them, as well
It may be. For are not they the best
In Britain? And this Is no new In
dustry, but a 500-year-old one, and It
has ever brought prosperity to the lit
tle town and work for Its people. Still
older than Its blanketB Is the town,
the Wltaneye of the Saxons, and a
thank-offering of Queen Emma, wife
of that Canute who sat beside the sea.
It has Its market place, where the
Butter Cross of 1683 made shelter for
the farmers’ wives who came to sell
their eggs and butter. But food Is
secondary to blankets In this little
place. Behind the one long street of
houses runs the Wlndrush, that serves
the blanket makers with Its clear wa
ters. In the town stands the guild
hall of the Blanket-Makers’ company,
with their arms and motto—a motto
that gives good reason for the con
tinuous prosperity of the blanket
makers and their Industry:
“Weave truth with trust.”
Sweden Great Power
During Middle Ages
Cities of southern Sweden were
among the greatest commercial cen
ters of the civilised world during the
Middle ages. Stockholm and Lund
ranked with London and Paris, says
the Family Herald. They absorbed
the commerce of the northern seas
and were the admiration of thousands
of,travelers and merchants who passed
through them and trafficked with them.
Later Sweden was the great military
power of northern Europe.
The ambassadors of the Swedish
kings were received with the utmost
deference In every court. Her sol
diers won great battles and ended
mighty wars. The England of Crom
well and Charles II was unimportant
and isolated In comparison with this
northeru kingdom, which could pour
forth urmles of gigantic blond warriors
headed by brave and astute generals.
Sweden Is today a peaceful kingdom.
Even the secession of Norway was
accomplished without bloodshed. Den
mark once domineered und tyrunnlzed
over both kingdoms.
Keen Shot Kills Tiger
With his long tall erect over his
back and his head held high, cama
the monarch of the forest straight for
us. His strength, grace and speed are
Impossible to describe. As he rounded
a turn about 60 yards away I let him
have It with my right barrel. The bul
let went true to Its mark. When It
hit him, full In the right eye, he was
In the act of making a spring. The
leap, for a good 20 feet beyond, came,
but when he touched the earth he was
stone dead. The bullet had entered
his brain, and not a mark was visible
on his beautiful coat, nor was there
the least twitching of his muscles after
the fatal shot.
No one there had ever seen or heard
of a tiger being shot without having a
mark of any kind made on his skin.—
Brig. Gen. William Mitchell In Na
tional Geographic Magazine.
Hint* to Amateur*
Who Wind Their Own
Here is a hint for those amateurs
who “wind their own” colls for varlo
couplers, variometers, etc., on card
board tubes. We have all been warned
time and again regarding the ill ef
fect 8 following the shellacking of such
colls to keep the wire In place after
It Is wound, thp said ill effects being
capacity or a coadenser-llke action be
tween the wire and the shellacked
covering, which causes a certain de
gree of choking of the signals.
This difficulty was overcome In the
following way: The cardboard tubes
are thoroughly dried In a warm oven
and then given a coat of shellac both
Inside and out. As soon as this has
dried the outside Is given another
coat. This should leave the surface
quite glossy.
The wire Is then wound In the usual
manner, the ends being secured
through holes In the edges of the tube.
The wire is then “painted” with wood
alcohol, which the covering absorbs
greedily; then the coil Is set away
to let the alcohol evaporate. Keep It
away from fire. The alcohol softens
the shellac and this In turn sticks to
the cotton covering of the wire where
It Is In contact with the tube. It will
be found that the wire Is held secure
ly enough for couplers and vario
meters also the rotors of these, but
not for tuning colls with which a
slider Is used.
Grid Leak Take* the
“Fry” Out of the Set
The amateur who has a one or two
stage audio frequency amplifier on his
set Is well acquainted with the hiss or
frying sound it. gives forth when op
erating at Its best or highest capacity.
By placing a grid leak across the sec
ondary of the last amplifying trans
former nearly all the frying and hiss
ing noise can me eliminated without
noticeably reducing the signal strength.
When static Is real bad the strength
of the leak can be Increased to where
It will take the harshness out of the
static, but It will reduce the signals
somewhat.
The ordinary grid leak consisting of
pencil marks on a strip of paper can
be used, but best results are secured
by making these lines with ordinary
black drawing Ink.
To Make a Mounting
for “W. P. 11” Tube •
It Is In some places impossible to
purchase a socket for the “W. P. 11"
tube (generally called the “peanut"
tube) at any price.
With a piece of bakellte three
Inches square, four binding posts and
some spring brass wire one can be
made. The spiral part of the wire is
j • ,v 11 ' |
bent around a six-penny wire finishing
nail firmly held In a vise for the three
small contacts, and the one for the
“grid” contact (which Is larger on this
tube) Is bent around a twenty-penny
spike.
The Inside of the colls Is brightened
with a rat-tall file to Insure contact.
This socket works perfectly, and the
natural springiness of the wire takes
up any sudden Jar.
SHORT CIRCUITS
The successful radio amateur Is
generally a man of parts.
An eastern radio club wants a suit
able design for a club pin. How
would a crystal set In platinum do?
Doctor De Forest says that radio
has tired the Imagination of youth. We
know some youths whose Imaginations
might well be fired.
When your Ice bill comes In, don’t
grumble. Think of the fellow who has
to provide for the wide range of the
radio broadcast.
If the loud speaker on your radio Is
unsatisfactory, how would you like to
have a desk next to a follow who yolls
all day over the telephone?
A loading coll is an Inductance con
nected In the antenna circuit to re
ceive longer wave lengths than the
natural wave length of the antenna.
A man buys a radio set, not so much
to hear a great orchestra, but to tune
that orchestra In and. out and thereby
show the musicians that they have
nothing on him when it comes to bring
ing out harmony.
A prominent government official
writes that the poor Quality of music
furnished by the smaller radio sta
tions is handicap to radio development
In the smaller towns. He believes that
by redistributing the output of tho
high-grade stations much better prog
ress will be made.
