VARIOMETER SET ON
A VERTICAL PANEL
Method of Building This Receiver
and Setting It Up Ex-
plained in Detail.
The rudio receiver described here
Is one using a variometer for the tun-
ng circuit und mounted on a vertical
panel, 6 Inches by 8 Inches, In-
itead of a horizontal base board.
To support the panel In a vertical
position a small base board four
.nches wide by six inches long and
1-2 to G-8 of an Inch thick is screwed
!o the panel.
The material required for the 'vari-
ometer follows:
One piece of bakellte or stiff card-
DoarU tubing, three Inches long and
1 1-4 Inches outside diameter. Cost
ibout five cents.
One pelce of bakellte or stiff card-
board tubing 1 1-1 inches long and 2
$-4 Inches outside diameter. Cost
about five cents.
100 feet of No. 26 DCC wire. Cost
ibout 25 cents.
Six inches of 1-4 inch outside dia-
meter brass tubing costing about 25
:ents.
Four small blocks of wood as shown
In Fig 18.
One panel 6 by 8 by 3-8 Inch.
Eight small round-head 1-4 Inch
long brass wood screws.
One base board 4 by 7 by 1-2 Jnch.
One standard four-Inch diameter dial
and knob to take 1-4 Inch shaft, cost-
ing about $1.50.
Seven binding posts.
Fig. 18 shows how the details of
the variometer are assembled.
The rotor Is wound with 40 turns
of the No. 26 DCC wire, dlveded in-
to two groups of 20 turns, each sym-
metrical with respect to the center

hole should be such that It be a forced
fit for the 1-4 Inch diameter shdft.
The winding on the stator Is similar
to that on the rotor. There are 40
total turns divided Into the sections
of 20 turns each. The beginning and
the ending of the stator windings are
15-10 of an Inch from the ends of the
tube. When the rotor is assembled
Inside the stator, the winding on the
stator should fall just above that on
the rotor.
After the rotor and stator are
wound, give them a thin coat of shel-
lac and allow it to dry thoroughly he-
fore attaching the wooden blocks. As-
semble the blocks ou the rotor and
stator and then give the assembled
part a second thin coat of shellac.
Put the variometer parts in a hot dry
place and allow them to dry until all
the volatile matter has been driven
riyXLT
off. This will give the windings a
hard finish that will not absorb mois-
ture, yet protect them from mechanical
Injury and hold them In place.
The vertical panel upon which the
set Is mounted is six Inches high and
eight Inches long by three-eighths of
an inch thick. It should be of a clear,
close-grained wood that has been well
dried to prevent warping. The panel
is fastened to the base board, which lij
four Inches by seven inches, by one-
half Inch thick, by means of the
screws.
Before mounting any of the parts,
the panel baaje board should be
finished. Staining the panel dull

line of the rotor. Start 1-10 of an
Inch In from the edge of the rotor and
wind on 20 turns, then, crossing over
on (he other side of the center line,
wind on 20 more turns, so that the end
of the second group of 20 turns will
terminate 1-16 of an inch in from the
end of the tube. Bring out the end of
the rotor winding on the inside of the
tube.
Cut two blocks of wood, A and B in
Fig. 18, from pieces of 3-Inch soft
wood and fasten them as shown dia-
metrically opposite each other on the
inside of the roi ,r tube with some
small wood screws. Drill two shaft
holes, one through each side of the
tube over the thick portion of the
wooden block. The diameter of tills
black and shellacking the base board
will make a pleasing combination.
Fig. 19 shows how the variometer
is assembled on the panel. The center
of the variometer is three and one
quarter Inches up from the bottom of
the panel and two and three-quarter
Inches from end. The assembling
drawings are all to scale and by re-
ferring to them, all the details will be
nade clear.

Recent Census Shows Healthy In-
crease In Population, Despite
Losses Caused by War.
Canada's census for 1921 Indicated a
total population of 8,709,-IMO, distrib-
uted as follows: New Brunswick, 387,-
839; Nov# Scotiu, 523,837; Prince Ed-
ward Island, 88,015; Quebec, 2,349,-
007; Ontario, 2,029,054; Manitoba,
613,008; British Columbia, 523,363;
iukon, 4,102; Northwest territories,
0,084, and Canadian navy, 485. The
gain for the whole Dominion during
1910-1920, was 1,000,000 or 21.5 per
cent. The war cost (he lives of 50,080
Canadians killed in action, while 40,-
000 more died from Indirect causes.
The percentage increase in population
is the same as that for Australia, while
the increase for Now Zealand 20 per
cent was very little behind. In the Union
f South Africa the increase was 19.2
per cent. The l'rairie provinces made
the most pronounced gain in Canada,
Alberta showing a 55 per cent in-
crease; Saskatchewan over 53 per
cent, and Manitoba, 33 per cent. For
the next ten years the unit of distribu-
tion for determining the membership
of parliament will he 36,250. This total
is arrived at by dividing by 05 the
population of each provlnct

Suppose a funeral passed your
house with 38,000 hearses, each hearse
containing an American business linn,
it would be Impressive, wouldn't It?
It would also give you an accurate
Idea of the number of business fail-
ures since prices began to tumble In
May, 1920, notwithstanding they
haven't tumbled so very much for some
things. But don't get gloomy over It.
Standing on curbstones watching their
brethren go to Dun & Bradstreet's
cemetery, are nearly 2,000,000 business
organizations that have weathered the
storm. In two years of severe de-
pression only one business In every
fifty-three has failed. .The percentage
farmers that have gone broke Is
linger. Business failures have totaled
about $000,000,000 a year In liabilities.
Assets have averaged about enough to
pay 50 per cent on the dollar. The net
loss has been about $300,000,000 ti
year, or about $3 a per for each Amer
ban. Might be much worse, remarks

Present 1 rend Is to Preserve Tooth
and Make It Look as Much Like
Original as Possible.
Gold teeth are going out of styla,
according to practitioners and dental
experts. The present trend Is to pro-
serve the tooth to make It look as
near as possible like it was originally*
If this can t be done the offending
molar or Incisor must bo pulled out.
The idea of pulling teeth is some-
thing comparatively new In .American
dentistry. The tendency was to save
the tooth at all costs. But dentists
have discovered that gold crowns nr«
unhealthful and permit foreign matte*
to get into the teeth.
Bridge work also Is not as popu-
lar as It once was. To make n hrldg«
two good teetli were filed flown an

tween. If the bridge failed the two
good teeth on the ends went with Itu
Now dentists recommend a plate otf
false teeth Instead of the bridge-,
these being removable, are easily
kepi clean. Hie dental science is now
spending Its energies more on serv*
Icenble plates rather than on bridges
or crowns.—New York Sun.

CRYSTAL SET IS ALL RIGHT
In Its Own Way It Is Quite as
Efficient as the Vacuum
Tube Outfit.
The small crystal receiving set,
which may be likened to "the poor
man's set," contrary to reports heard
In some quarters, is quite as efficient
In its way as the much higher-priced
and elaborate vacuum tube outfit.
While these sets are usually not guar-
anteed to receive more than fifteen
or twenty-five miles, some amateurs
have succeeded In hearing music over
a fifty-mile range.
But the most amazing of all is the
report which conies from a retuiler in
New Vork, who says that he has suc-
ceeded In connecting up an amplifier
with Ills set. Despite the handicap of
being entirely surrounded by. steel sky
scrapers, this set Is In .daily opera

Radio Warns of Thunderstorms.
Detection of approaching thunder-

service is a valuable practical use of
the radio, according to the report of
the electrical apparatus committee of
the National Electric Light associa-
tion presented at the convention in
Atlantic City. The radio also serves
to detect defects In electrical appa-
ratus and equipment more efficiently
rhun any other ugency. the report

for Health
GRAPE-NUTS is a regular "three
bags full" of the best food quali-
ties of whole wheat flour and malted
barley, carefully mixed and <jfowly
baked—
To develop all their appetizing flavor,
To preserve all their wholesomeness,
And to provide nature's "broom" that keeps the diges-
tive system spick and span.
, There s not a bit of artificial sweetening in Grape-Nuts
-it just becomes sweet of its own accord in the long baking.
And that enticing flavor—how good it is with good milk
or cream! ^ fruits, too, fresh or cooked, add to the delight of
a dish of Grape-Nuts, morning, noon or sundown.
It is a compact, ready-to^eat food —no cooking needed.
Why not try it for tomorrow's breakfast?
