For the radio fan without the nec-
essary wherewithal to purchase a loud
speaker that described In the follow-
ing article will be found to accomplish
Its purpose well Its cost should not
exceed 23 cents so the new device Is
well named "a two-bit loud speaker"
The horn shown here was operated
with only a Murdock 2000-ohm re
ceiver in the base and a detector and
one-step Music and ball-scores were
heard clearly and easily all over a
medium-sized room and for a distance
of about 40 feet from the horn The
tone was excellent and showed little or
no tendency to over-vlbrnte on the
high notes
The norn Itself Is made from stiff
red cardboard similar to that used as
covers for notebooks and this material
may be purchased for about 10 cents
at any stationery store Lay out the
design with a ruler and compass to
the dimensions shown Cut out the
parts and bend them to the required
shape tuklng care to make no sharp
bends in the cardboard A little trim-
ming may be necessary to make the
edges around the curves fit nicely'
The secret of assembling the horn
Is in the use of surgeon’s adhesive
tape which seems to have a peculiar
affinity for the cardboard and makes
an excellent cementing tape for the
corners This tape may be purchased
at the drug store It should be one-
half Inch wide and cost about 15 cents
In assembling the horn cut the tape
Into strips about ten Inches long and
fasten the Inside seams first pressing
the tape firmly In place and rubbing
slightly with a small block of wood
For a short time after the outside
seams are covered the horn may be
How to Make Mounting
for Spider-Web Coils
Spider-web colls are very easily con-
structed nnd because of their efficiency
they have found favor for amateur re-
ceiving sets Tbe difficulty In mount-
ing these colls has presented a stum-
bling block to beginners and has more
or less retarded their general adop-
tion First obtain some fairly thin sheet
brass cutting It to size nnd shape as
Very Simple and Convenient Manner
of Mounting Honey-Comb Coils Is
Shown Above
required For a movable or coupling
mounting two right-angle brass strips
are fastened to the panel as shown
They can be one-lmlf-lncii wide the
length depending upon the personal
wishes of the builder Two' more strips
of almost the same size except for the
flanges which are set as shown to clasp
the coil terminals are cut and pivoted
to the first nngles Use 6-32-lnch ma-
chine screws and hexagon nuts for
pivots nnd for clamping the nngles to
the panel To each coll affix the smnll
brass strips cut to the shape indicated
driving the pointed tips Into the coll
form securely The strips are spaced
the same distance as the clusps on the
panel to permit contact (The wire
leads are soldered to their respective
brass strip)
A stationary coll mounting may be
designed in the snme manner so that
If it Is ever desired It too may be
varied Be certuln that the clasps have
sufficient spring to securely hold and
make good electric contact with ’ the
coll terminal strips It Is not neces-
saty to hove the coIIb running In a cer-
tain direction as they can be Inserted

be out of place here Use No 24 D C

The huse muv he unv small wooden
box at hand or specially constructed
to any desired dimensions The cover
which Is to support the horn and re-
ceiver below should preferably be at
least one-half Inch' thick To receive
the horn a square tnpered hole should
be cut through the cover Push the
horn firmly In the hole and glue It In
place or attach it oh the under side of
the cover by four strips of adhesive
tnpe reaching up Inside the horn The
cover may be hinged to the box to fa-
cilitate a quick chunge of receivers
from the head-band to the box
To hold the receiver tight against
the bottom of the horn two clips of
brass or iron should be fastened to the
under side of the cover and bent In
such- shape as to hold one of your par-
ticular type of receivers firmly In
place A slot should be cut In the side
of the box to receive the phone cord
To operate the horn first tune your
set to maximum loudness using the
headphones When optimum adjust-
ment has been secured slip one of the
receivers out of Its socket and under
the clips In the horn base On account
of the change In capacity of the phone
cord It may be necessary to readjust
the tuner A 30-foot section of lnmp
cord Inserted In the phone circuit will
penult the horn to be placed In any
desired room without moving the re-
ceiving set
The horn gives considerable amplifi-
cation and Is free from the objection-
able “tinny" sounds experienced with

excellent results to be obtained from
a horn of this type are well worth the
time and trouble expended In Its con-
struction (© Radio News)

Tbe coat dress Is new— new as a
mutter of pertinent style Some wom-
en have known for many seusons that
the coat dress would help out their
wardrobe moat remarkably But now
the majority of women seem to have
Incorporated the Idea Into their scheme
of dressing If you buy a cout dress
now or one or two months hence ad-
vises a fashion authority In the New
York Times you will be doing the
thing that Is being generally done and
all through tbe season you will be glad
that you made your decision to buy a
costume of this sort
The coat dress Is something which
Is complete in itself and us it stands
It needs no coat to carry out Its
scheme of street effectiveness With
a hat that Is smart and that purports
to carry out tbe lines of the design
of the frock It becomes a most becom-
ing sort of dress and one that every
woman will welcome as a part of the
clothes that she considers necessary
for the beginning and carry through of
a new season
One of the advantages of a cont
dress Is the ease with which It Is put
on There Is usually one hook and
that generally at tbe side of the low-
Plald Tweed in Two Shades of Gray
Is Used for This Smart Coat Dress
Which Has Edging of Red Leather
on Surplice Collar and Sleeves
ered waistline At that point there Is
usunlly applied some sort of an orna-
mental buckle and In very many In-
stances that is the one spot of any-
thing that might be called trimming
on the entire gown
Tbe design of the coat dress Is
something that while It Is simplicity
Incarnate still expresses one’s indi-
viduality It Is stralgnt and plain and
The Modem Corsets
Some of the modern corsets are no
more thnn bunds of elastic bound
about the hips These' are for the very
slim of stature and they certainly do
help and this is especially true with
the Bort of frock In question to give
trim effect to the ultimate appearance
and a street appearance
When it comes to women of more
stately lines there will be found cor-
sets that mold the form most subtly
to the lines that ore established by
the modern tailors and dressmakers
They have taken all this Into account
and while they cannot guarantee In
any sense to give a smart uppearance
in a coat dress or a suit to the un-
corseted figure they certainly can und
do put their Btamp of smartness In
dressing upon tbe womun who comes
to them corseted In accordance with
the modern mode
In this respect as In many others
the wishes of tbd modern woman are
paramount Dressmakers respect her
wish to be comfortable and easy In
her dress through all the hours of the
day They do not wish anything con-
fining In tbe way of corsets upon her
uncompromising In all of Its essentials
and at tbe same time It Involves so
many subtleties that It is sure to
lutrlgue the woman who knows what
good dressing means
A Pleasing Combination
To begin with the coal dress Is a
happy combination of the severely tail-
ored suit and the dressmaker's dress
as the prevalent costume Is sometimes
designated It strikes that distance
between the new and the old with a
subtlety and art that will appeal to
every wornun who hates to strike too
squarely Into a new manner of dress-
ing She may have become tired of tbe
old overblouse nnd skirt she may not
be ready to accept with alacrity the
tailored suit which Is offered her as
the season's last word In style Well
then for her there la the coat dress
with all Its grace and charm and with
the tailored lines still kept Intact and
with that dressiness for street wear
cmrled out to the last degree of per-
fection Of course there are many things to
be considered when it comes to the
adoption of the street dress as one's
style for the season One coat dress
you know will go a great way In the
establishment of a wardrobe that lives
up to modern fashion dictates First
there Is the corset for no woman looks
really well In a frock of this sort un-
less her figure Is properly corseted
The lines of the coat dress are too
severely straight and plain to allow
of its being worn over an uncorseted
figure and whether the corset Is In-
considerable or not It must still be a
corset or something that In some way
manages to hold In the hips and give
them some semblance of studied shape
There lias been too much of the un-
corseted figure that stops about and
has Its own way regardless of the Hues
of dresses
Express Individuality
Coat dresses are indicative of the
modern mode each one expressing
some Individual Idea You can see
that they follow the same principle of
hooking at the side and that their
skirts If they are not trimmed are
draped so that some line of divergence
Is given to the cofume In that par-
ticular There Is the surplice style which
will make Its appeal to a large ma-
jority of women and then there I® tho
design that closes In a straight line
clear to the neck giving that straight
and one-piece look to which so many
women of the modern day are wedded
It all depends upon your figure and
your particular appreciation of style
which one of these frocks you will
choose for your own but you will be
making n great mistake if you do not
have something of the sort as an ad-
junct to your winter wardrobe for
you will fine' that -as tho season
progresses you will wish more anil
more to have something of the sort
to call your own
These dresses and many more tuat
go to make up the modern styles are
statuesque In appearance They are
built along straight an-" uncompromis-
ing and architectural lines They are
essentially street things In their very
appearance and the art that has gone
Into their construction Is everywhere
quite evident
For the entirely straight-lined cont
dresses there are collars that roll over
the shoulders or stand straight nnd
high about the throat These are
made of brocudes or lingerie mate-
rials according to your type anil the
general expression that you have
adopted for your clothes: The sur
plice ones run to turn-back revers
und they fold gracefully into a clos-
ing at a long waistline
but they do Insist that in order that
she shall he well dressed she shall
wear the proper sort of corset suited
Injhe lust line to the Individual de-
mmol nf her own figure
Plainness over the hips (and this
Is characteristic In the extreme of'the
modern eout dress) nd the straight-
ness of the lines of the skirt depends
supremely upon the foundation of the
figure’s construction to make the cos-
tume a perfect thing to see
A Cheerful Note
A writer on the art of home making
points out the fact that “The friendli-
ness of a clock may contribute much to
the homey atmosphere of the house of
today and whether It be a grand-
father's clock that is a treasured heir-
loom or a reproduction of It a
smoothly-running electric affair or a
daintily conceived trifle for the bou-
doir whether It strikes or chimes the
hours or musically notes their passing
on a gong Its ticking makes friendly
the silence as It tells the passing
hours"
