l When it comes to, the subject of loud speakers, naturally a good one is advised. You
tret just what you pay for! The cheaper the price, the poorer the quality. It will surprise
many, to know how much the loud speaker has ttf do with satisfactory reception. The tips
on the cord are plugged into the two midget jacks. If one of the ends of the cord has a col
ored thread in the braiding, it should be connected to the jacked marked plus X in the pic

radio frequency stages. Trying to
save a few inches of panel stock
and crowding the apparatus close
together will soon convince the
constructor - of his foolishness
when he starts operating the set.
Compactness may be desirable but
not at a sacrifice of quality and
efficiency. .

Has your boy ever ben particu
larly Interested . in pyrex glass
ware? Did he ever hover around
the kitchen range, getting under
foot and occupying all the. avail
able space, while his eyes rested
fondly and speculatively on pyrex
dishes that were being heaved in
to the oven and out again?
No! Well, he may be doing that
very thing soon.
The best radio sockets are now
said to be made of pyrex. Lo
loss, perfect insulation, magical
terms that compel a boy's atten
tion.
i Can't you see that speculative
look that will come to your boy's
eye an he considers the possibili
ties that may be inherent in any
piece of pyrex?
; Pa has come into his own! Not
so long since he had to grin sheep
ishly at the usual run of jokes
about gorgeous Christmas gifts
for all of the family, paid for ut
of pa's old leather wallet,: while
the poor duffer himself gratefully
accepted the few socks and neck
ties that came his way. He looked
with embarrassment at pictures
of '"pa" pushing the lawn mower
around under a blazing sun while
his family waved goodbye on their
way to the seaboard.
Hut now! Pa pushes 'em all
away from in front of the set
shoos the noisest one out of the
room, and sits down with a confi
dent smile to enjoy himself. Jazz,
song, show stuff he's quite adept
when it comes to picking out a
program. He is having one grand
time suiting himself.
The new hook-ups. are fewer
than they were and better. Some
fine results are being obtained by
some of the fans. Superhelrodyne

enthusiastic followers. ' -
Salem's "DX Houndi" are con
quering new worlds nightly. Pa
tience and stlck-to-it-Sveness .? ,are

Tune, brothers, tune with care.
Bloopers have no right to the air
A bloop by a careful fan is rare;
A careless timer raises your hair,
While a novice bloops just every

USEFUL POINTERS
TO.
REMEBER
Don't 'leave your carburetor ad
justment to some one else. Do
it yourselfr ..! .
Don't' expect perfect results at
once. .. , . . .
Make your tests on the road
under actual driving conditions.
Simply opening the throttle ig not
enough.
Remember that your carburetor
should supply just enough gas to
run the car without forming" car
bon ,
When the motor "spits back,"
the mixture is too lean.
When it runs Irregularly and
emits black smoke, -the mixture
is too rich.
Don't try to make adjustments
when the motor is cold.
Keep a careful . record of your
mileage and gasoline consumption.
A TIMELY REMINDER
The following sin is posted 'by
the roadside as you enter a west

No word so aptly describes the supple smoothness
of the Nash perfected valve-in-head Advanced Six
motor. At 60 flashing miles'per hour or at idling
pace its power-flow is amazingly quiet and vibra
tionless. E-A-S-Y S-T-E-E-R-I-N-G ! Nash has designed
a remarkably efficient steering mechanism for use
with balloon tires and four-wheel brakes. There
is absolutely no strain or exertion attendant to
parking or turning quickly.
B-R-A-K-I-N-G C-O-N-T-R-O-L ! The Nash-type
mechanical four-wheel brakes are unequaled for
safety, simplicity, and efficiency of operation.
They are fully equalized on all four wheels, im
mune to heat and cold, and have fewer points re
quiring lubrication than any other mechanical
system. Full balloon tires, five disc wheels, and
four-wheel brakes are included in the price, $1485,

Many of the noises heard in the
loud speaker of a radio set are not
due to any difficulty in the receiv
er but to electrical disturbances or
man-made" static coming from
sources outside of the receiver.
A good test of these disturb
ances is to disconnect the antenna
entirely from the receiver. If the
noises diminish in intensity or dis
appear entirely, one may be sure
that their source is external to the
receiver. - , .
"Man-made" static may origin
ate in power transmission circuits,
lightning arresters, transformers,
transmission line insulators, mo
tors and generators, arc lights,
telephone and telegraph lines,
sparking street car trolleys,' elec
trical . railroad equipment, door
bells, electric light switching sys
tems, sewing machine motors,
vacuum cleaners, electric washing
machines and other household ma
chines, storage battery chargers,
electric elevators, etc.
, There is no universal parui'a
for "man-made" static. ; If one has
a power line running along outsfj
their house which is causing ex
treme disturbance, the only rem
edy is to get the power company
to run down the trouble and elim
inate - it, which they are many
times glad to do. ..
The possibilities of chsniig
the position of the receiver;
changing the antenna length ad
its direction by use of a loop or a
very short indoor antenna, and
putting condensers in series with
the antenna and ground system is
about-all the ordinary listener-in
caa do to reduce these disturbanc
es. : .v'..- -
: Of times the simple expedient of
changing the position of the re
ceiver or. the direction of the' an
tenna may do very much to elim
inate such disturbing noises.
Large Increase in
Dodge Brothers Sales
'Dodge Brothers remarkable in
crease in production and sales con
tinues without, interruption, an
erficial statement from the factory
discloses. , ''
Actual retail deliveries by deal
ers during February were within
a few cars of 15,000, which Is an
increase of-23.1 -per cent- over
deliveries in. February, 1924.' r .
Every week in February showed
a material increase over the pre
ceding week and the first week of
March likewise exceeded 'the last
week of February,
While dealers stocks are ex
ceptionally low, the factory is
turning out cars in such volume
that it is hoped to meet practically
the entire current demand. Pro-?
ductionf for the first : week of
March was over 1000 cars a day.
Dodc Brothers sales for 1924
increased more than 2Z per cent
over 1923, in the face of an 11
per cent decline in the Industry
as a whole. These facts, consider
ed with the present continued in
crease, bespeak a most gratify
ing condition and Dodge Brothers
are naturally optimistic. .
