ROME, larch 14. The cross
word puzzle craze has reached It
aly in its triumphal march from
the United Stales.
The engaging pastime which
has made dictionaries best sellers,
first took (ireat Britain by storm
and then icrossed : into France
where it overcame the predjudices
of thousands of citizens of that
nation which,1 more than any other
in Europe, had been famous for
its philological insularity and for
its passionate insistence upon the
purity of its verbal expessiveness.
I Now, the fad,' disguised as "L
Indovinello delle Parole Incroci
ate" has crossed the Alps Into
Italy and its .proponents predict
confidently that nothing can stop
its advance! into the heart of cen
tral Europe and even into the ge
ographical crazy quilt of the Bal
kans where: languages and dialects
abound, j 1
Foreigners In Italy had for some
time interested and disturbed the
natives by their peculiar antics
and , jjesticAilations in front of
black and white squares in foreign
newspapers but it remained for a
weekly nevflpaper to explain the
mystery and incidentally to intro
duce the cuSt. .i.
That the! "parole incrociate' Is
but a distapt relative of our cross
word puzzlf is immediately appar
ent after a literal translation of
some of the ; explanatory defini

four letterf and eight have eight

Motor vehicle registrations in

that "Carriages without horses

filled to all the people, for at the

vehicle for every 6.4 'persons, one
passenger car for every 7.3 per
sons and one motor, truck for
every 69.0 persons.
i The reports received from the
4 8 states show a net gain in regis

or 16.6 percent. Passenger cars
increased 14.7 per cent in number
while motor trucks increased at
more than double this rate or 32.9
per cent, indicating rapid devel

highways, i Truck registrations
increased 54. 4 per cent in Kansas
and 42.4 per cent in North Dakota.

Intimately believe that there isvno

co-operation of health agencies and

of disease, know that there is no
one more thoroughly informed than

Ford Weekly Purchase
Plan Proves Success
Families of moderate or limit-
ed means, .who heretofore t hesit
ated about purchasing cars, are
coming into the automobile buy
ing field in greater numbers
than ever before." if records of
the Ford Motor Company's Week
ly Purchase plan may be taken
as an indication.
The plan', launched not quite
two years ago, was started chief
ly to give such people an oppor
tunity to enjoy the benefits and
pleasures of motor car transpor
tation and those taking advan
tage of it are growing in num
bers every day. It is simple, the
prospective purchaser making
weekly payments of an amount
best suited to his individual
means, these payments becoming
part of a bank account until such
time as the purchaser has a suf
ficient sum to take delivery of
his car.
Details of the operation of the
plan, as just given out by the
company, show from a compara
tively few daily enrollments dur
ing the first month, the number
has steadily risen until now more
than seven hundred people are
enrolling every day throughout
the country, a rather remarkable
public endorsement of the plan.
The records also, show that
there are at present more than
110.000 - persons on the weekly
purchase plan roll and that more
iian 165,000 already Jiave re
ceived their cars under-tthe plan.

The new good Maxwell has won
such hearty approval here and
everywhere, its . popularity is a
matter of comment. There can be
no question that the car offers
advantages never before found
in a four.
There are logical reasons for this
advance over conventional results.
First, the determination of Max
well-Chrysler engineers to develop
the four-cylinder principle to its
fullest extent.
Next, the marked and recognized
advantage in experience and re
sources of one of the largest and
strongest quality manufacturing
organizations in the industry.

THE GENTLE
The actual proceeding to be fol
lowed in tuning a Neutrodyne re
ceiver after the antenna ground, and
all bttery connections have been
properly made, is as follows:
I. Insert five bard" amplifier
tubes (type UV-201-A's or C-301-A's),
or, in cases where dry-cell
tubes are used, type UV-199 or C
299. in the five-tube sockets. . Turn
the two rheostats halfway up to the
right And then turn the amplifier
control switch from the "off posi
tion to the "medium" position.
. 2. Let us assume it is desired to
receive station WEAF, New York,
M. Y., which transmits on a wave
length of 492 meters. On examin
ing the dial calibrated in station call
'etters as shown in the drawing
above, it is seen that this station cor
responds to a dial setting of 67 de
jrces. Accordingly, set dials 2 and
i of your Neutrodyne receiver at
his setting and rotate dial 1 very
slowly from zero to 100. Signals
jvill be heard with dial 1 at a setting
'ientical with dials 2 and 3 or at a
ew degrees lower. Under this con
ation, rotate dials 2 and 3 indepen
dently very slowly until the maxi
predictions made when plan was
inaugurated, that it would! exert
a wide influence toward lessen

consequent embarrassments, and

Furthermore, the new good Max
well is truly a "manufactured''
car. The entire car, almost to the
smallest detail, is built in the great
Maxwell plants. " "
Naturally, with all these advan
tages the new good Maxwell offers
higher quality and finer motor
ing at a surprisingly low cost.
The car's popularity means that
the public has discovered this fact.
To put the matter briefly, you
have only to observe the growing
number of new good Maxwells
on the road to understand the
widespread appreciation of Max
well's higher quality and greater
values. We are eager to prove , it

mum signal is obtained. In any
particular Neutrodyne receiver, dials
2 and 3 may read identical, but in no
case should they differ by more than
1 or 2 degrees. The first or left
hand dial may read identical with or
lower than" dial 2. A record should
now be made of the settings of this
station On the log charts as follows:
WEAFi 492 meters 63 66 67.
After adjusting the dials for maxi
mum signal strength, each of the
two rheostats may be turned back
ward and forwards until the maxi
mum signal with clarity is heard. In
general it may be said that a lower
filament current is required for local
or strong stations and a high fila
ment current and very careful ad
justment for the more distant ones.
In all cases when tuning a Neutro
dyne receiver, it is best to keep dials
2 and 3 always within one or two
degrees of each other and they must
be moved slowly, at a rate of about
2 or 3 degrees a second. Very often,,
a weak signal is passed over by mov
ing the dials fast One can tell if
the receiver is "tuned-in" when the
broadcasting station cannot be
heard, by listening to the intensity;
of the noises that are present.
