The farm home of Peter Hansen, south of Holt creek, was burned to the ground Wednesday, together with the entire contents. The members of the famiy were all absent from*the place and in At kinson doing their trading at the time and were unaware of the dis aster to their home; and did not know how the fire could have started. As to whether Mr. Hansen carried insurance or not, The Graphic is not informed. Things to Remember About Your License Quite a few nmateurs have com plained that they had to go through a re-examinatlon for a renewal of tlielr operator’s license. There are a few points to consider *ln this connection. First Is to watch the expiration date and the second Is to get three amateurs to write that your station was heard on the air within the three months prior to your application for renewal. The license will then be renewed without trouble, but If you wait until, It has expired an examination will be necessary. Also remember that you are never notified about expirations so that you must watch both your operating and station licenses. Method of Eliminating Some Capacity Effects A handle for turning the knobs mtur be made from a wooden dowel red one-quarter Inch In diameter and about I twelve Inches long. A pencil eraser attachment designed to fit over a pen cil end Is slipped on one end of the rod. This provides a vernier that Is < SOONOCO ERA3CR TIP WOOD ROO IAYST ASCII ATTACHMCNt ns good as any on the market. The adjustment was secured by putting the eraser end up to the edge of the dial and slowly twisting the outer end of the rod. Ilefore using, the eraser should be tapered with sandpaper. <©, 1826, Wen'crn Newspaper Union.) TkiTEREDITII GRIMWELL grinned literally from ear to ear. Ilia huge, Jovlul features beamed benig nnntly on all alike. But on this rosy morning Meredith’* puffed cheeks were slnshed by an un alloyedly broad smile. His mischie vous eyes gleamed wickedly as he tuckled the Intellectual passivity of Stanley Worth. “Terribly depressed, Stan,’’ he mourned gleefully. “An’ It’s a woman.’’ Stanley removed a cigar from his lips with deliberate precision. “A woman,” he repeated, with elaborate emphasis. “A woman,” Meredith* confirmed gayly. “She’s a Jewel—strong on eats, but one o’ them dieting kon-o-seers.” Stanley half laughed; knowing Mere dith so well, he couldn’t be positive that this was the forthcoming Joke. “You mean,” he felt safe to correct, “she’s a dietetical connoisseur.” “‘See here—a letter I got a few days back,” said Meredith, “Just after we’d been out an' had some oysters—raw.’’ Stanley took the tinted, folded sheet and read the contents. His face re mained calm until ho reached the sig nature, when a brief arch of his eye brows betokened recognition. Dear Dlth: So enjoyed seeing -you enjoy those oysters. It was a real treat. Your delightful, Ingenuous pleasure was more than refreshing. Hut you like oysters so well—did you ever hear of the Eocene oyster? It’s a marvel, Indeed. I try to Imagine an Eocene oyster reposing lusciously within your sensitive, experienced mouth—try to picture the real enjoy ment your face must reflect when you contentedly munch that oyster of oys ters—really, Dlth, the prospect In trigues me. If only you could obtain one Eocene—but no; It Is too much to hope, dear boy. As ever, CELIA R. That signature, "Celia II.,” altered matters for Stanley. “Well," urged Meredith, seeing that Stanley had finished, “did you ever eat an Eocene oyster?” Stanley hesitated, vaguely puckering his brows. “No,” he said slowly, “I don’t believe I ever did.” “Imagine!” rambled Meredith ex ultantly. "Not a waiter, not a chef, not a soul I’ve met can tell what an Eocene oyster really is like. But Celia, ah I" He rolled his round eyes angel ically celllngward. “This dietetlcal connoisseur,” hinted Stanley. “Has she—Is she otherwise as great a genius?” “Oh, sure,” granted Meredith, with wide generosity. “She really likes me, too." Stanley pondered mentally, wonder ing for what under the healthy sun Celia It. could hdve come to “like” Meredith Grimwell in so startling a manner. The last time he had seen her—a dazzling light broke through the cloudy membranes of Ills thoughts. She had said, “You think you are so Intellectually aloof, Mr. Stanley Worth. Let me warn you that If ever any of your dear friends come within my reach—” and she had shrugged her white-powdered shoulders In resentful hauteur. “Don’t you think," asked Stanley, feeling his way with extreme care, “don’t you think you might be mis taken about her liking you?” “Oh, no,” with bland assurance. "We have so many tastes in common.” Stanley half smiled, but wtt.li a trace of pity. “Would It—hurt—so very much—If you should be mistaken?" he queried slowly. Meredith looked at 1dm with a star tled expression. Then he laughed with all-permeating jelly-shakings, a laugh that reached every nook and cranny of his robust person. “Easy come, easy go, Stnn,” he replied blithely. Stanley heaved a profound sigh of relief. “Now tell me,” demanded Meredith, “tell me what an Eocene oyster ready Is. That’s what I came for, you know. I hate to parade the name without somethin’ back of It.” Stanley led the way to his well ikKAnlal nnorl IIKtuiwiT "Didn’t know you Invested In cook Ikm/Uo,’’ ventured Meredith ^lyly. "I didn’t,” briefly gruff. "Eocene oy sters don’t grow In pantries.” Meredith produced the pink-tinted tetter. “It’s spelled E-o-c—” “I know,” said Stanley. “But read that over again. Note very carefully what she says about the oyster, where she Imagines It to be, how she thinks It will look.” Meredith looked at Ms friend In a puzzled, baffled way. He referred to the letter—“reposing within your sen sitive, experienced mouth—” "Enough,” Interrupted Stanley, lift ing a book from a shelf. He blew off a tiny cloud of dust “Are you ready he asked, thumbing to “E” In the Index. “Shoot r “Well” — Stanley paused dramat ically. "An Eocene oyster Is known only as a fossil. It lived In Eocene time, a period of geological history.” He paused again, to favor Meredith with a conciliating eye. That worthy was scrutinizing the celling, an Incipi ent ear-to-ear smile'curving at the cor ners of his wide mouth. “An Eocene oyster,” Stanley went on, "Is thirteen Inches long, eight Inches wide and six Inches deep.” The incipient smile broadened, and Meredith slapped his thigh. "Bull’s eye 1” he exclaimed boisterously. “Thank you, Stan, old boy. I had be gun to suspect. And I always heard a sense of humor would kill any ro mance !’’ Hints to Amateurs Who Wind Their Own Here is a hint for those amateurs | who “wind their own” coils for vario | couplers, variometers, etc., on card board tubes. We have all been warned time and again regarding the 111 ef fects following the shellacking of such coils to keep the wire in place after it is wound, the said 111 effects being capacity or a condenser-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 tlmt the wire is held secure ly enough for couplers and vario meters also the rotors of these, but not for tuning coils with which • slider is used. Grid Leak Takes the “Fry” Out of the Set The amateur who has a one or two stage audio frequency amplifier on his sot 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. I-“I When static Is real bad the strength of the leak can he Increased to where it will take the harshness out of the static, but It will reduce the signals somewhat. The ordinary grid leak consisting ot 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 “\V. P. 11" tube (generally called the “peanut” tube) at any price. With a piece of bakelite three Inches square, four binding posts and some spring brass wire one can be made. The spiral part of the wire Is I---t-1 bent around a six-penny wire finishing null 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 coils 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 wnnts a suit able design for a "club pin. How would a crystal set in platinum do? Doctor De Forest says that radio has fired 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 fellow who yells all day over the telephone? A loading cell 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 the high-grade stations much better prog ress will be made. Slanguage and Language Slang is perpetually changing, lan guage much more slowly. The common spoken language of any one period, is, as It were, the melting pot from which the pure gold of Its literary language is distilled. The slang, having con tributed its quota, dies, but the literary language lives on. It has emerged from the crucible pure coin for ever. Any great language, such as Greek or Latin, is eternal, for In the hands of a master it becomes a thing of power, a vehicle for the living truth. And once that truth has poured through It, it is Immortal, a radiant garment of thought, no longer the tongue merely of merchants and artisans, but the speech of gods and heroes.—Nineteenth Century. Fools Himself Why is it that a woman can make n fool of a wise man and a wise man of a fool? She can’t. It is true that a wise man often makes a fool of him self about a woman, but it is his own vanity and egotism that betray him into folly. For instance, it Is a com mon thing for an old man with a huge fortune to marry a girl young enoi.gh to be his granddaughter. In such cases the man lulls himself into the belief that he is so handsome and attractive that a girl prefers him to a boy of her own age. But it is self-conceit—not the girl—that does the trick.—Family Herald. What Else Was There for Millicent to Do? When Mrs. Gray came home Milli cent met her at the door; she seemed bursting with news. “Mother!” “Well, dear?” “What do you think Robert and that Jones boy did this afternoon?” “Why, nothing bad, I hope—” “Mother!” Millicent paused impres sively. ‘They went and they built—a tire! Yes’m! With kerosene! Out behind the chicken coop where you told ’em they never, never must I” “Millicent! Your little brother! Why, he might have—but why didn’t you stop him?" "Mother, told him, and 1 toiu lain, and he said he would too, and I took him( by the shoulder and shook—” Rut Mrs. Gray was seized with a sudden suspicion. “Millicent, you know I keep the kerosene locked In the storeroom, and Robert doesn’t know where I keep the key. Look me in the eye, Millicent. How did he get that kerosene?” Mlllieent’s eyelids flickered. “Well, you see, mother—er—when I saw that Robert and that .Tones boy were de termined to build a fire, why—er—I had to get the things for ’em, didn’t I, and superintend ’em, didn’t I?”— Youth’s Companion. His Gratitude Greater Than His Knowledge A Filipino boy who had studied Eng lish in a Hawaiian night school sent the following letter to a white man who had befriended him and who had made him a present of some pictures and a shirt: “I received your kind and welcame letter from you, so, I In it, I was very, very glad to heard from you that you so stated at present in good health and fisical condition. At the second how glad I am and your sister that you were received of our pecture in that brilliant afternoon, and so, fcy this time we were very pleasant that you will keep it so well the same as our bodyes always talking ynd caring for you here. And so, even that pec ture is not very personally'playing of your spirit so, be carefully like so as you body. About the shirt is corning to in my hand, I full of joy and a merry heart so that you did not for got of your promised to me, and now, it is very thanking at the heaven and you of your truely remember and pre sent of this your brother did not know how to forgot asking of God at the heaven that he always caring and pro tecting to you here day and night and far of badly misfortune.”—Pathfinder Magazine. ROBERT KLINE, FOUR. DIES OF PTOMANINE POISONING (Atkinson Graphic.) Robert, aged four, little son of Mr. and Mrs. V. G. Kline, of Ewing, died Friday the 7th inst., at the Campbell hospital in Norfolk from ptomaine poisoning, taken from canned meat, as near as can be determined. Funeral services were held Sunday at the Methodist church in Ewing. Interment was made in Woodlawn cemetery, Atkinson, at ten o’clock Monday forenoon, preceded by a short service conducted by Rev. Clinton Senneff at the J. H. Wahl home. (First publication Aug. 27.) NOTICE TO CONTRACTORS.
