" hours In Los Angeles mount up In
.'to the thousands, according to N.
R. Vowley and O. He Nevers,
; Soulhern California Telephone offl
trials, who say that around fi o'clock
every evening several thousand
business men cnll up to Inform
their wives that they can't get
homo to dinner, usually bemuse of
, a "conference."
"Iuring the hrlef period' be
tween 4:46 and 6:10 p. m the
telephone plrlq handle morn onlls a
minute that nt any other time
during tho day," said Mr. Towley,
i, "The hulk of them are men rall
" .lng up their wives about not being
j) able to get home to dinner,"
., Various other factors that make
tho traffic In telephone calls Jump
' and cause switchboards to light up
like Iho proverbial t'hrlhtmas tree,
. said Mr. Do Nevers, are fires, rx---plosions
nnd radio announcers re-
.questing Itsteners-ln to "call up and
let us know how you hear us." Jf
a day opens with clear weather and
rain comes up later the number of
phone calls Increases unbelleveably,
the officials said. Everybody seems
to bo calling up to cancel engage
ments or to rent 'taxlcabs.
: Checking over Iho 1,760,000 calls
a day, tho telephone operators say
that the-popular notion Is ennvrt,
'men can not compete with women
In long conversations, , ,
A good ground connection is just
s important in radio broadcast re
ception as a good antenna. The an
tenna -collects the signal energy and
unless the ground connection h good
and of low resistance to the sij'iul,
the energy cr.n be very easily dissi
pated before it ever reaches your
radio receiver.
Cold-water pipe systems usually
make the best ground when you are
sure that the pipes lead directly into
the ground and that there are no
insulated couplings in the pipe line.
Many times in connecting your
ground wire to the pipes of hut air
or hot water heating systems, poor
results will be obtained because in
sulated couplings arc used in the
pipe line which actually insulate the
receiver from the ground. Kustand
crrosion in pipe lint's also sometimes
cause high resistance joints and
hence pour grounds.
In any case, in making a ground
connection, scrape the inetul pipe or
rod to which the ground wire is at
tached, very clean and bright, then
wrap the wire securely around it
several times and solder the connec
tion securely, making sure that your
soldering iron is hot and that the
"solder" flows into the joint.
A ground clstnp can be used to
good advantage, but again, great
care should be taken to see that the
connection is clean and bright be
fore tightening the c!.;ip down onto
the pipe or rod.
In the country, the best ground
connection obtainable is a metal rod
or pipe driven four or five feet into
the ground.

!n THE day of Shakespeare's famous heroine, buying
and selling were contests of wits. In Venice, haggling
and dickering were the vogue. Along the RiaUo, sharp
practice was the rule. Every purchase of silk or spices
was made at the buyer's risk'. One had to be a shrewd
judge of values and one's fellows to escape trickery.
Tortia's father a merchant was used to the ideas of
guess, luck- and accident. So much so, indeed, that it
seemed natural to him to entrust the choice of his daugh
ter's husband to three closed caskets and a lucky guess!
Nowadays, we do not transact business blindly nor
leave important decisions to chance. It is not necessary
for us to gamble when we buy. Commodities are identi
fied for us by trade-marks. Manufacturers go to the
advertising columns to tell us about their products.
Merchants describe their merchandise price, quality
and service. .
By reading advertisements, we get a knowledge of
goods and stores that we can depend on. Advertising
reduces chance, in buying, to a minimum.
